The young couple from the farm fights back
Chapter 16 Successful Branching
The uncle was efficient and took Zhou Chunfeng to the village head's house again early the next morning. With the uncle's presence, the village head had to give him face and readily issued a land deed to Zhou Chunfeng, and at the same time collected eight taels of money for the land.
In fact, this piece of land would cost at least ten or more taels, and the village chief was giving his uncle a favor. Although his uncle was not in Shili Village all year round, his prestige was still there, and many people had to ask his uncle to come back when they needed to do something.
Zhou Chunfeng put away the land deed documents and planned to accompany his wife to the market in town in a few days, and then send the land deed and the field deed to the head of the village to be signed together. After that, he would go to the government office to register them on another day.
It would take some time to complete the tedious process. The government office was in the county town, and it would take a day and a night to travel from the town to the county town by ox cart. He had to wait until he was well before making another trip.
Jiang Li didn't expect to buy the land for only eight taels of silver. He was so happy that he generously took out a hundred yuan and asked the villagers who were off-duty in the village to help him go up the mountain to find wood. However, given Zhou Chunfeng's physical condition, he was afraid that he would have difficulty chopping wood.
Then she borrowed a few mud brick molds from the villagers. When she had free time, she and Zhou Chunfeng poured the mud bricks for the house and dried them in the sun.
The news that the eldest branch of the Zhou family bought land to build a house after the complete separation spread like wildfire. It was said that the land they bought was the vacant land behind the wooden shed that no one wanted.
Indeed, no one wanted it, because it was at the end of the village, close to the farmland. The villagers disliked the large number of people passing by their door every day and were unwilling to buy the land here.
On the other hand, Jiang Li felt that the more villagers walked around outside the door, the more popular it would be. After all, he lived at the end of the village, and it was impossible for it to be deserted all year round.
Ever since the incident outside the wooden shed was spread among the villagers of Shilitun, the Zhou family didn't dare to show up in Shilitun in the near future. Even Zhou Xingyue, who was learning a skill in the town, was asked by Lin not to return to the village for the time being, so as not to let some ignorant and dirty people in the village offend her precious daughter.
Her daughter Yue'er will be very blessed in the future and will become the lady of a wealthy family. Not just anyone can come up to her and attract her attention.
When Wang and Zhou Laosan heard that the eldest couple bought land and built a house, they were both angry and full of disdain.
At the dinner table, the family was eating steamed buns. It should have been a happy occasion, but because of Zhou Laoer's nonsensical words, the atmosphere became weird.
"Mom, my eldest brother's family is building a house. Why don't we go over and help? Anyway, there's still some time before the autumn harvest. It would be embarrassing to watch my brothers build the house without doing anything to help."
Sometimes, Mrs. Lin really wanted to stuff this son back into her womb and have another son. How could such a short-sighted guy come from?
Seeing her mother-in-law's face as dark as ink, Wang really wanted to slap the head of the household to death for being so short-sighted.
Zhou Laosan sneered and said, "Is it our turn to help him? Don't waste your time on that. We already agreed that we are no longer family, understand?"
The third brother's words woke up the second brother. At the same time, he also noticed that his mother's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he touched his nose embarrassedly.
"That's right, I just said it casually, don't be angry, mother."
"Heh~" Mrs. Lin was too lazy to pay attention to this son. If he wasn't her biological son, she would have killed him long ago to prevent him from annoying her for no reason all day long.
When Lin thought about the cowardly couple in the first wife's house actually thinking of building a house, she felt angry. When she returned the money to the first wife, she wanted to open her eyes and see how the couple would waste the money, so that she could laugh at them to death one day.
Xiaolin held her little girl in her arms, nibbling at her steamed bun with her head down, occasionally glancing up at the man in charge. Compared to the showy Wang, Xiaolin, though weak-willed, was very clever and knew it was best not to attract attention in front of her mother-in-law at this time.
Jiang Li didn't go up the mountain to collect herbs for the past two days. Apart from working in the fields, she spent most of her time pouring brick molds around the wooden shed. In a short period of time, she and Zhou Chunfeng had poured out nearly a hundred mud bricks.
They were both quick workers and wanted to finish building the house quickly. Their uncle had already helped them choose a date for laying the foundation. In addition to pouring the mold, they also had to go to the neighboring village to discuss business with the farmer who sold sand and gravel.
Jiang Li paid the villagers to help cut wooden stakes in the mountains. The villagers who took the money to do the work cut back many high-quality stakes. Among them, Jiang Li took a fancy to a few good ones and thought it would be a good idea to keep them and ask the village carpenter to help make a few decent cabinets and tables in the future.
At this time, Aunt Hu's son Dashuan came running over in a hurry: "Brother Zhou, the clan leader and uncles are calling you to the ancestral hall. They said that the ancestral hall is open today and you should go over."
Jiang Li raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his face and raised his chin towards Zhou Chunfeng: "Go quickly and get things done as soon as possible."
"Yeah." Zhou Chunfeng put down the work in his hands, washed his hands in the wooden barrel beside him, straightened his clothes, and walked towards the ancestral hall with Dashuan.
Jiang Li looked back at the three children playing in the shady corner. From then on, their eldest family was completely free from the fate of becoming cannon fodder for the Zhou family.
Counting the days, Zhou Xingyue will soon meet the male protagonist. Ever since Zhou Xingyue met the male protagonist, their family has been like a hornet's nest, with all kinds of things being blown up.
She almost became the funniest and most hilarious character in the article. Whenever something bad happened, she and Zhou Chunfeng would definitely be involved.
Zhou Chunfeng's family, along with the name of his deceased mother Ruan, was branched out from the Zhou family's genealogy. For such a major event, Zhou Laoer and Zhou Laosan must also be invited to the ancestral hall.
What happened in the Zhou family in a short period of time was inevitably criticized and slandered by the villagers. In front of the elders of the clan, the hot-blooded Zhou Laosan tried his best to suppress his inner resentment and his face turned red.
Logically speaking, both Old Man Zhou and his first wife, Ruan, have passed away. It is somewhat unreasonable to separate Ruan from the Zhou family tree. After all, it is an unprecedented practice.
The clan leader and elders pondered for several days and finally agreed to the request raised by their uncle on behalf of Zhou Chunfeng. They knew that the eldest son of the Zhou family had already drawn a clear line with the old Zhou family and kept the name of the Ruan family in the old Zhou family. It would be difficult for the eldest son of the Zhou family to worship their ancestors in the future. After all, the children of the old Zhou family were not the children of the Ruan family, and there was still the Lin family.
It's better to separate them, but it will be difficult for your sons and descendants to burn incense and worship without them.
In the presence of all the elders and uncles, the clan leader took down the family tree, turned to the page of the old Zhou family, crossed out the list of Ruan and her sons, and created a new branch of Zhou Chunfeng on the new page.
The entire process, though not troublesome, took nearly an hour. From then on, Zhou Chunfeng's family and the old Zhou family, although members of the same clan, no longer had any ties.
The clan leader and elders had thought about the reason behind Zhou Chunfeng's change in personality, especially the uncles and aunts who were watching outside the ancestral hall. The more they watched, the more they felt that Zhou Chunfeng was like a different person.
The recent quarrel between the Jiang and Lin families had spread throughout Shili Village, even though some members of the clan did not witness it with their own eyes.
On second thought, perhaps the couple had been suppressed for too long and couldn't bear it anymore, so they simply broke the window paper of the Zhou family, and no one could think of anything good.
You see, they say you can’t bully honest people. When an honest person gets cruel, he’s no different from a madman!
Look, the deceased Ruan would never have thought that she would face another disaster more than ten years later, and would be separated from the position of original wife in the family tree of Lao Zhou by her own son.
