Quick Wear: The Bad Girl is Reborn and No Longer Confused
Chapter 168: Separation and Escape 6
"Brother lost his silver."
"What? Impossible, it must have been the third brother who stole it along the way, right?"
"If you don't believe me, just search me. We happened to be in each other's sight."
Xu Yaozu's face turned pale. He couldn't be searched. If he was searched, it would be unreasonable for him not to use the money to buy food.
When he was about to speak up to stop him, Xu Daniu stood up and said that it would be best to search him so that he would avoid being scolded.
To ensure fairness, the entire process was carried out in front of everyone. The old man had originally wanted to search on his own, but Xu Tao had already gone to invite the village chief and the elders when he saw his father had returned.
Everyone fell silent as they looked at the silver on the table. It was exactly five taels, no more, no less.
"No, I didn't. Listen to me."
"What the hell, you beast! You've read so much that you've lost everything, haven't you? Your whole family has suffered because of you, and now you've stolen our money. I said the money was there before I went to find you, but it's gone after we fought, you beast!"
Xu Daniu threw a punch, and the other brothers couldn't resist him, and the little brother Boiled Chicken was no match for him.
"Little one, how are you? Go call the doctor. How could you hit your brother? He just wanted to keep the money, what's wrong with that? We can buy food tomorrow."
When Xu Yaozu touched the gray-brown object, he pushed his mother away and lay on the ground vomiting violently. He couldn't even explain himself and felt disgusted as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Village chief, since you are all here, please divide the property among us."
Old Master Xu sighed. First there was the issue of money being usurped, and then there was the suspicion of theft. For the sake of the fourth son's reputation, he had to split the family.
"Guangzong, have you thought it through?"
"I've thought about it, village chief. There's nothing left to divide up at home except the fields. Six acres of top-quality paddy fields, twelve acres of medium-quality paddy fields, and fifteen acres of mountain land.
We, the old couple, will live with the fourth brother from now on. The paddy fields will belong to us, and the mountain land will be divided among the three brothers. The houses in the house will be divided among the families.
This method of division shocked everyone present. There had never been such a method of dividing a family since ancient times. What was the difference between it and leaving the house empty-handed?
No matter how much others persuaded him, Old Man Xu remained indifferent.
He knew that suppressing his sons over the years had worn away their brotherly affection. The fourth son would continue to take the imperial examinations, so the paddy fields had to be kept to provide him with money.
The patriarch shook his head and said, "What a fool! He's causing unrest in the family just because of his youngest son."
Xu Daniu's eyes bulged out, his breathing was rapid, and he looked like a mad dog ready to attack.
Why? The majority of the family property was allocated to the eldest son, yet he could only get five mu of mountain land. How ridiculous!
"Father, I want to go to my younger brother's school and talk about it. Let everyone see how he stole the silver and how he oppressed his brothers."
They say that when people are extremely angry, they calm down. Xu Daniu smiled but didn't really smile. He didn't believe that the fourth child would have a conscience. If he passed the exam and left the two old ones to live freely, wouldn't they still have to take care of him?
Now everyone thinks that the parents are going too far, but it’s been ten or twenty years now, and who can remember them? Looking at the pitiful two old people, people will only think that they have no conscience.
"you you......"
Old man Xu pointed at his unfilial son and glared angrily.
Finally, the land was divided into five parts. The two old men and Xu Yaozu took two parts, and each of the other families took one part. The three sons had to pay the old man 300 kilograms of food rations, or 600 coins, every year.
After pressing the fingerprints, the clan elder and the village chief were about to go back, but they were startled by Old Man Xu who was kneeling in front of them.
"Guangzong, what are you doing?"
"Village elders, please don't tell anyone about what happened today."
He kowtowed while saying this, which made people feel very sorry for him.
"Okay, we're all tight-lipped. Don't worry, it won't affect your fourth son's imperial examination. Yaozu, your father is truly doing this for your own good, so you have to fight for your dignity."
Everyone in the Xu family thought the scene before them was hilarious. What a kind and loving father! It was a pity that they were unlucky not to be the last one born. They all went back to their rooms in silence.
"Dad, mom, ding, ding, look what this is."
Xu Sanniu and his wife opened their eyes wide in surprise and quickly ran to the window to check. They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw no one outside.
"Taotao, how did you learn this magic trick? Are all the things in the house made to disappear by you?"
Fang Zhi happily held the green purse that she had lost and found again. There were more than 120 taels of silver in it. In order to hide it, 100 taels of silver were in banknotes.
When she came back and saw that the bed had been taken away, she felt very sad.
To hide her money, she had her husband carve three holes in the bed to hide belongings from the house. She was confident that no one would find out, but she never expected someone would be so cruel as to even remove the bed.
After cursing for the whole night, he found out that the culprit was actually a girl. He quickly spat a few times. All the gods must not take the cursing he did at night seriously.
"Mom, it's not a magic trick. I fell and my blood hit a rock. Then, a place suddenly appeared in my head. It's about the same size as our house. I also foresaw many things."
Xu Tao chose what she could to tell and roughly said that if she wanted to escape the famine in the future, she would definitely have to let her parents know about the existence of the space. Their love still made her very confident.
"My dear daughter has suffered. Will you feel bad? Will having this extra thing in your brain affect you? What if you become stupid? Let's go see Doctor Zhou."
"I'll go right away, girl. If Doctor Zhou asks you anything, just say you have a headache. Don't say anything else."
Xu Tao held her parents close, repeatedly assuring them that she was not suffering from dementia. However, they still did not believe her and could only wait patiently for the doctor to arrive.
"Mom, A Tao, where was Dad doing just now?"
As Xu Yang and his brothers arrived at the door, they saw their father hurried out and felt a little confused.
"Let's wait until the doctor arrives." Fang Zhi frowned and was in no mood to talk to her son.
Receiving his elder brother's gaze, Xu Tao shrugged helplessly.
"Hey, Sanniu, slow down a bit. I had some delicious meat tonight."
Doctor Zhou's face was pale. He went into the house and took the patient's pulse without taking a rest. He frowned and took the pulse again and again. There was nothing wrong with the patient. The patient was stronger than a calf. It was impossible for him to recover so quickly.
Xu Tao felt a little guilty. If she had known her parents would call a doctor, she would not have eaten the fruit. The fruit grown from the ordinary fruit cores in her space tasted better than ordinary ones, but it had no effect.
The fruit cores I bought in my first life were planted. Although the yield was not high and the fruit-bearing rate was only about one twentieth of that of ordinary fruit cores, they worked very well and the effect was amazing.
"Doctor Zhou, what happened to my daughter?" Xu Sanniu spoke with a trembling voice and tears came out.
"It's nothing. Your daughter is very strong. She can kill a chicken with one punch."
Faced with everyone's complaining gazes, Zhou Li felt a little embarrassed. He left in a hurry without even collecting the medical fee.
