After farming, I opened a family tree

Chapter 7 Pork Controversy

It is late autumn and early winter, and there is already a bit of chill.

At the sound of a rooster crowing, all the chickens in the village started crowing.

Fortunately, his body's biological clock has gotten used to it. If it were this time in his previous life, Shen Tang felt that he would not be able to get up.

When Shen Tang got up, Liu had already prepared breakfast.

"We have two taels of silver and three hundred coins left at home. I'll keep one tael for emergencies, and the rest for hiring someone to build a stove."

"Let's just build a house and buy some food."

When building a house in the village, as long as you provide food, people will come to help.

Shen Tang signed in this morning and earned thirty coins, so he now has a total of sixty coins on him.

After breakfast, Shen Dashan went up the mountain to check the trap he had set yesterday.

Liu took Shen Tang to the butcher's house to buy pork fat.

"Oh, sister-in-law, your girl is really better now."

The familiar aunts they met along the way all looked at Shen Tang curiously.

There is no need to say much about Liu's happiness. She kept introducing people to Shen Tang.

Butcher Wang's family lived at the end of the village because they raised many pigs, which had a strong smell.

When he reached the end of the village, Shen Tang was still holding an egg in his hand, which was given to him by Aunt Guihua, who was the best friend of Liu.

"Brother Fugui, what's the price of suet?"

The butcher's name is Shen Fugui.

"It's getting cold, so the price of meat is going to go up a lot. We're all from the same village, so the price is the same as before. Thirty cents a pound!"

Shen Tang looked at the pig bones and some pig offal thrown on the side.

"Think of these bones as a gift to my niece. Go back and make some soup as a token of my appreciation."

Shen Dashan and his wife are also well-known good people in the village.

"This can't be done, it can't be done!"

In the end, Liu bought a few bones and pig offal for a bargain price of five cents.

"Tangtang, when we get home, I'll make you some bone soup!"

The child is in the growing stage, so go back to the field and pull out a radish and put it in the baby's womb.

The mother and daughter walked home talking and laughing.

"Look at what you've made! You're trying to fool an old woman like me with this, aren't you?"

Wang looked at the porridge in the pot and felt extremely aggrieved.

Usually my sister-in-law makes breakfast, but she hasn't cooked for a long time and is not used to it.

Wang was also resentful towards Old Lady Shen at the moment.

It's good enough to have something to eat, why are you so picky?

Dead old woman, half of your body is buried in the ground. If you want to eat good food, just give me money.

Wang only dared to mutter these words in her heart, not daring to show any sign on her face.

"Forget about the pig food you made, but look at the sun. Are you trying to starve me to death? You are such a black-hearted person! How could our Dahe marry a wife like you?"

Wang's face turned red when she heard this, but since the other party was her mother-in-law, she couldn't talk back.

He could only shrink his neck and endure the scolding, but his eyes kept looking out.

"Hey, sister-in-law! You bought some meat. We just ran out of oil. Isn't that a coincidence? You bought some just because we were short of it. Otherwise, mother would say you take good care of others."

"Mom, I'm going to help my sister-in-law carry some things."

Before Liu even got close to the yard, she heard Old Lady Shen cursing.

For some reason, I felt a little relieved when I heard Old Lady Shen scolding Wang with full energy.

However, she didn't expect that Wang was so shameless that she dared to covet her family's things even after the family split up.

"Sister-in-law, we have already separated. If you want to eat meat, go buy it yourself."

"Look at what you're saying, sister-in-law. Even though the family has split up, doesn't that mean mother doesn't have to be filial? We in the second branch won't be greedy, but you still have to show the filial piety you deserve."

As Wang spoke, she stretched out her hand.

"Use these bones to make soup for Mom to nourish her body. The offal doesn't taste good and Mom doesn't like it, so leave it. As for the lard, just give her half. Mom is old and likes oily food."

Liu was quick to turn around and Wang got nothing.

Old Mrs. Shen looked at the meat in Liu's hand and was very greedy, but she didn't expect that Liu was unwilling to give it to her at all.

"Oh, what a miserable life! After the family split up, it turns out that they don't even care about me, their elder."

"Old man, why did you leave so early? You were so cruel to leave me behind. You said Dashan was the most filial, but look at you now, wuwuwu."

Old Mrs. Shen howled at the top of her lungs, and the neighbors around her poked their heads out, looking like they were watching the fun.

Seeing that more and more people were around, Old Lady Shen not only did not restrain herself, but became even more aggressive.

"In the beginning, I shouldn't have let Dashan marry this outsider Liu. It's my fault that this family fell apart before I even left. I'm too embarrassed to come down and see you."

When Shen Tang heard this, he raised his eyebrows.

She didn't expect that her mother was actually a foreigner.

"Mom, it's not that I don't want to give it to you. These bones are for making soup for the child."

"If you are in poor health, you can kill one of the chickens we have at home to replenish your body."

When the family was divided, the women from the main house didn't get any chicken coops because all the chicken coops were in the west room.

"You black-hearted bitch, you're going to kill the old hen that laid the eggs."

Those chickens can lay two eggs every once in a while. They are very precious. How could we kill them?

"Mom, you have to give us a way to survive. We are a family of three, and we only have about ten pounds of food left at home. If we divide the family, we will only have a few houses and two acres of land. We will have a hard time in the future."

"Why is there only this much in the eldest house? Isn't it always the eldest son who gets the family property divided?"

"Hey, you're silly. The Dashan family only has one daughter, so of course she'll follow the second brother's family."

"That's right, Shen Laoer's family can be said to have had good things happen to them. This eldest son is the best student in our village."

The person next to him said this and gave a thumbs up.

"Hey, who wouldn't say that? God is really something. We all have the same ancestor, but why does the one in our family play in the mud every day?"

When Old Lady Shen saw that Liu had actually revealed the details of the family division, she was furious. Just as she was about to retort, she heard Shen Tang speak.

"Mother, the family division document has been written. We only need to give Second Uncle's family 100 catties of food and 500 coins every year."

There was a sound of gasps all around.

One hundred kilograms of food!

Five hundred wen, that's half a tael of silver.

A few years ago, when his family was dividing up, all they had to do was give his mother 80 kilograms of grain and 100 coins.

"This Dashan is really filial. He gave me 100 kilograms of food and also gave me money."

"Who says it's not true? If my son can give me so much by splitting the family, I will definitely split the family."

She has several sons, and they are going to divide the family property.

I don’t dare to think about it, I don’t dare to think about it at all.

"My son gave it to me because he was filial. Why are you jealous?"

Old Mrs. Shen noticed that the way people around her looked at her had changed.

Old Mrs. Shen opened her mouth to refute and patted Wang.

He cursed Wang in a low voice, calling her a shameful thing, and hurried into the west room. Wang was embarrassed to be stared at by so many people.

The people around gradually dispersed, and soon Liu heard someone knocking on the courtyard door.

"Sister Liu, Brother Dashan said this morning that your family wants to build a wall."
