Chapter 13 It’s time to feed my king 8

Old man Zhou was afraid that it would affect his eldest grandson who was still studying, so he quickly agreed to Chen's words.

With the testimony of the old patriarch and two elders, Zhou Laoer finally got three acres of paddy fields, three acres of dry land, and ten taels of silver, but no other food, pots, pans, or utensils.

Old Mrs. Zhou also asked the five of them to get out of the Zhou family today.

This means that their family of five will have to sleep on the streets!

Butcher Chen raised his eyebrows and was about to speak, but was stopped by Old Lady Chen.

The patriarch of the Zhou family is here and is on the side of their daughter and son-in-law. It would be inappropriate for their family members to interfere.

Why not wait and see first?

The old patriarch and others also felt that it was a bit too much and gave some advice.

"Although the second brother has separated from the family, he will still have to support you two in the future. Why bother to make things worse?"

But Old Mrs. Zhou said, "Aren't they a capable couple? If they have the guts, they can find a place to live on their own!"

"He gave up his parents' things for a woman. What else can I expect from him? Get out of Old Zhou's house today. We'll go our separate ways. From now on, I'll pretend I never gave birth to this son."

Old Mrs. Zhou, who was forced to divide her family property, was extremely unhappy. She couldn't figure out so many things for a while and just wanted to speak her mind.

Zhou Laoer's family of four were delighted.

Zhou Chi glanced at his mother, and Chen immediately said with a frustrated look on her face, "I swear to God, my husband and I have no intention of being unfilial to our parents. We just feel sorry for them because they are old and it is too hard for them to take care of such a large family. I didn't expect that mother would kick us out."

"But after all, Dad and Mom are our elders, so we shouldn't refuse to show filial piety. In the future, whatever gifts Uncle and Third Uncle give to Dad and Mom during festivals, our second branch will naturally not be left out. In addition, every year our family will give Dad and Mom two taels of silver..."

Two taels of silver!

The old patriarch nodded with satisfaction, and the villagers also praised Zhou Laoer and his wife for having a conscience, but Old Mrs. Zhou was very dissatisfied.

"Two taels of silver? You're giving away money to a beggar!"

"Your eldest nephew still needs to study, and there are so many mouths to feed at home, and you only give him two taels of silver a year?"

"Ten taels! Every year, you two wives will give me ten taels of silver, or you will return all those fields to me."

Having said that, Old Lady Zhou snatched back the ten taels of silver she had just given out.

"This is your filial piety this year."

Chen was stunned.

She didn't expect that her mother-in-law's shamelessness had reached a new level.

My husband can't even earn ten taels of silver a year, so how can I give her ten taels of silver?

And he snatched away the ten taels of silver that I just gave him?

What does the eldest wife’s children’s education have to do with them?

"This is unreasonable! This is simply unreasonable!"

The old patriarch's walking stick made a "thump thump" sound as it pounded on the ground.

"Wednesday, you two are really great!"

"You're so mean and disloyal right in front of me. You really don't take us old guys seriously!"

"Get out! All of you, get out of Zhoujia Village today!"

Old man Zhou, who had been watching Old Lady Zhou go crazy, finally became anxious. He slapped Old Lady Zhou in the face, causing her to stagger.

"Chief, please calm down! Chief, please calm down! It's all because of this old woman who doesn't understand things. We will listen to you, Chief."

"The money allocated to the second brother must be given to him, and there is also silver..."

Old Man Zhou took the ten taels of silver from the old woman and handed it to Old Man Zhou Er.

"Second brother, your wife is right. Your mother and I are old, and there are always things we can't take care of as a family. From now on, you and your family should live well. Find a good doctor for Ling girl and come back to visit your mother and me during the holidays..."

As Old Man Zhou spoke, his eyes became moist.

His most obedient son has turned away from him just like that!

Zhou Laoer felt a little sad after hearing his father's words. He hummed and said, "Dad, don't worry. I will definitely come back to see you and mom often."

Under the auspices of the old patriarch and two elders, Old Man Zhou, Old Lady Zhou and Old Man Zhou II formally signed the separation agreement.

Zhou Yong, the son of the old patriarch, will take them to get the deed for the six acres of land tomorrow. Zhou Laoer's family will be almost left with nothing except their own clothes and bedding. In the future, they will have to give the old couple two taels of silver as a filial tribute every year.

After seeing off the old patriarch and others, the Zhou family finally drove away the villagers who were surrounding the wall in the yard.

The whole house was silent.

Sun said sarcastically, "A good family has been turned into a mess. Second sister-in-law, are you happy now?"

Chen glanced at her sideways and ignored her, as if she was just listening to a dog barking.

Zhou Laoer glanced at his eldest and third brothers, then silently took his wife, children, and father-in-law and mother-in-law back to the second room, leaving two taels of silver for Old Man Zhou.

The old lady insisted that they pack up their things and move out today.

Compared with the unhappy Sun, the third wife Qian was somewhat happy.

She has two sons. If her second uncle's family leaves, the vacant wing of the second house will belong to them, Zhou Wang, in the future!

After all, Second Uncle earned so much money, but he didn't spend it on Zhou Xing and Zhou Wang, but the house was real.

Zhou Qianqian also breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked at the closed door of the second room. She could hear a chaotic stream of voices coming from inside, all with undisguised joy in their tone.

So be it.

Zhou Qianqian thought.

From now on, you and I will go our separate ways and not interfere with each other.

This is your reward for saving my life.

"Pack your things! Come home with me first."

Butcher Chen looked at his two grandsons who were happily surrounding their granddaughter, and said with a wave of his hand.

Zhou Laoer hesitated: "Dad, this is not good..."

Although the Chen family lived in the town, they only had a small courtyard where the old couple Chen the butcher lived, as well as Chen's uncle and aunt, and two grandsons.

If their family of five went there, it would inevitably be inconvenient.

"You're still being polite to us at this time. If we move around a bit, is there any room for your whole family?"

Seeing this, Aunt Chen also expressed her opinion, "Dad is right. You can go back with us without worry, sister and brother-in-law. We don't have to worry about not having enough room. When the time comes, your brother and brother-in-law can go and squeeze in with the other boys, and we will stay with Lingling so that we can take care of her."

"Whether I come back to build a house or make a living in town, at least I have a place to stay."

"Besides, it would be more convenient to hire a doctor for Lingling in town, right?"

Hearing this, Chen and Zhou Laoer looked at their daughter lying on the bed.

Zhou Lingling nodded in agreement without hesitation.

"Mom and Dad, my aunt is right. Let's just go and bother my grandparents for a while and move out after we find a house."

Only by going to town can she feed her little sisters.

She planned to give her little sisters ten baskets of juicy green vegetables first!

Here comes ten jars of natural mineral water!

Let the little sisters feel her happiness too!

"Alright, what's the point of bothering me or not? We're all family, so let's pack up!"

Butcher Chen was an impatient man, so he asked Zhou Laoer and others to help clean up.
