On the inside of the gate, Jing Yongsheng's family originally set up their tent.
The tents and quilts were intact and not trampled or torn by the wolves, but now several people were missing. Instead of rushing to collect the remains of their relatives and bury them, the two groups of people, the legitimate and illegitimate descendants, were confronting each other.
Big Head, Second Head, Third Head, and Fourth Head stared at their illegitimate uncles, Fourth and Fifth Uncles, like wolf cubs, cursing them profusely: "You sons of bitches! You fed our grandfather and our father to the wolves, and yet none of you are harmed. I will make you pay with your lives."
Datou really wanted to smash down with his stick, but his fourth uncle Jing Changming grabbed it and he couldn't move.
He didn't expect that when he came back from the market, his grandfather and father were gone.
Big Head's father, who was thrown into the backyard and slept on a cart with a broken leg, was fed to the wolves. Second and fourth heads' father, who had a broken arm, was also eaten by the wolves because he could not climb up the tree or the wall. Now the only legitimate elder among their descendants is Three Head's father Jing Changsheng. Besides the four of them, the other grandchildren are the eldest daughter of the first wife, Jing Mingxin, and the eldest daughter of the second wife, Jing Mingrong. A total of seven people in the family managed to escape.
The two concubines' two wives, a total of nine people, were intact. The fourth uncle Jing Changming and the fifth uncle Jing Chang were both born to the same concubine. Although they were not favored in the mansion, they were very united.
Last night, the two brothers were forced by their father to push their eldest brother into the backyard. Seeing that their eldest brother could not move and there was no way to save him, they threw away the cart and took care of their wives and children first. They worked together to help their wives and children onto the wall, and then they both climbed up the same tall tree to save their lives.
Seeing his nephews cursing and not treating them as family at all, Jing Changming also got angry: "You are good at shirking responsibility. Third brother (Santou's father) is still here. If he has the ability, why didn't he even save grandfather? He is still alive and well."
Jing Changsheng, whose head was burned bald, didn't say a word at all. He had lost his father, his wife, and now even his brother. He just let them make a fuss, looking like an old patriarch.
"Last night, several of the grandsons from the General's Mansion came back to rescue people. You are older and bigger than them. Why are you hiding? At least if you come back, your father won't die."
……
Jing Changming's wife saw that the situation was chaotic and without any rules, and was even more worried that her husband would be bullied by these brats, so she said sternly, "We don't want to follow you either. Let's take this opportunity to divide the family."
The illegitimate son was the first to ask for a division of the family property. The eldest grandson didn't expect this but was more than happy to do so. When he went out to the market, his grandfather gave his eldest grandson a silver note and all the silver coins, which totaled fifty taels in the silver note and twenty-five taels in the silver coins.
Now the grandfather who had taken away all the family property has fallen into the mouth of a wolf. The brothers had just gone in to look for the shoes where the silver notes were hidden, but not only could they not find the silver notes, they couldn't even find the soles of the shoes. They didn't know whether they were torn by wolves or picked up by some bastard, so now all the family property is in his hands.
Looking at the two illegitimate wives, Jing Changming has a son and a daughter, and Jing Changchang has a son and two daughters, all of whom are younger than them. The pros and cons of dividing the family are naturally clear at once.
"Yes, split up!"
"We want to split up!"
As soon as Datou said that, the others naturally agreed. The brothers all had the same little plan. They thought that since they had money in their hands, it would be best to use it on them, so it would be best to kick their illegitimate children out.
Seeing so many people making such a commotion, only Datou's sister and cousin remained silent. The two sisters were ten and thirteen years old, and no one cared about them last night. It was only because a guest staying at the inn heard their cries for help and thought their voices were childish that they let them in. It was a narrow escape.
Now that they have lost the protection of their parents and grandfather, they are naturally terrified when they hear that the family is going to be divided, fearing that they will be abandoned again. However, they have no say in the matter and can only remain silent.
In the end, not a penny of silver or a single copper coin reached the two illegitimate children, and Datou continued to take all the money. The tents and bedding were clearly divided equally, with the two illegitimate brothers receiving a tent and four quilts. The food was scarce in the first place, so it was naturally divided equally. As for the carts, Datou and his family only received a wheelbarrow.
As the eldest brother born out of wedlock, Jing Changming asked his family members not to feel sorry for themselves after the division, and stopped sticking to Datou's side. Now that he saw the person sleeping on one side was a serious criminal, he naturally didn't dare to get close, but he was also embarrassed to stick close to the people from the General's Mansion. After all, there had been too many quarrels between the two families, and although they didn't intervene, they also felt in the wrong.
He didn't dare to go too far away from the crowd. For safety reasons, he set up his tent next to Jing Yongqiang's house. After all, the two families were relatively close in blood relationship. But after the tent was set up, he just quietly asked his wife to cook some porridge and didn't dare to go up and talk to them.
After pausing for a while and counting their things, the two brothers Jing Changming and Jing Changdu discussed it and took their two sons to the backyard.
After a while, they brought out some wooden boards and strips, some of which were still bloody, as well as two undamaged wheels. They borrowed a hammer from somewhere, then sat together and started hammering. It was obvious that they wanted to make a simple cart.
They were also pitiful. If they didn't pack up their things without money, they knew what would happen to them in the future. Without anyone to rely on, they could only rely on themselves. Fortunately, they still had two brothers, so they were not completely helpless. They just wanted to make life a little harder and get through it.
Every family went to the market with a cart, so they were all saved. Last night, Jing Changning rented a house in the market, and when he saw a mule, he bought it immediately without bargaining.
Even for the grain and pork, they paid the money after the two sisters-in-law had checked them, and asked the shopkeeper to help move them into the house. The other families, including the officials, also completed their purchasing tasks and did not dare to delay for too long.
The cart they had parked in the backyard was still there, but the mule had been eaten by a wolf. So, even if they bought a mule, they still had a cart without an animal to pull it.
The car was still slightly damaged, but it was nothing serious and could be fixed. What made them happy was that most of the things in the car were still there.
Jing Changning had a headache because he had a cart but no mule to drive it. The covered cart was not easy to pull or push, and it had to be driven by oxen, horses or mules. There was no place to buy livestock nearby, unless he had to wait for the big market in seven days.
Not only them, but also half of the officials' carriages and horses were damaged, and the remaining half was preserved because they were used to go to the market. However, their advantage was that as long as they arrived at the next post station, they could negotiate with the government office to purchase or allocate them again.
Jing Chunxi was also at a loss. If she had known that people could enter the space, then horses could definitely enter as well. If she had known in advance that she would have to put a team of horses and a row of carriages in it, there would be no need to go through so much trouble now.
