A small peasant girl who traveled through time and space picked up a war god prince
Chapter 33 Helping Hu Tieniu Separate His Family (Part 1)
The sun rises in the east, the cock crows three times, and life goes on. It will not stop because of someone's departure, and we must continue to work hard. Siyu and her family finished breakfast and prepared to go to the wasteland to take a look. By the way, she sent Robert to the field. From today on, Robert officially took office as the head of the 500-acre wasteland. And Nanny Tan also officially began to teach her younger sister Xiaoyu. Although there are only a few rooms in the house now, Siyu thought that the house will be built soon and she will have her own independent space! As soon as he walked out of the yard, Old Sun came forward and called him, "Little Master, Little Master, the sewer pipe in your drawing will be used soon. Have you made it?"
Siyu slapped her head, thinking she'd been busy for so long she'd forgotten her main task. She quickly told her father to stop busying himself and drive the carriage to the kiln factory to order custom sewer pipes. Bai Qingyuan, finally having something to do, happily took Siyu's sewer pipe drawings and headed to the kiln in the county town. As they walked, Siyu pondered whether she'd neglected her family and others' feelings. In the modern world, she'd always done everything on her own. Now that she suddenly had a family, she hadn't realized she could delegate tasks to them, letting them participate. Would that make them think she was overbearing? Oh, she didn't want to think about it anymore. It was a headache. She had to change that. She couldn't do everything herself. She had to share some of the work with her family, or they wouldn't feel at ease. After the house was built, they'd all be going to school.
Siyu came to the wasteland and saw that it had been almost turned over. She also went to see the composting area. Siyu looked at this large piece of wasteland that belonged to her and felt a sense of accomplishment. She thought about how considerable the output of this wasteland would be in the future. How much grain would be produced? It seemed like a lot of work! The wasteland had been turned over and it was time to plant the seeds. She also needed to build a few large granaries. She also needed a place to store the grain after the harvest. Siyu took Robert to find Uncle Qingzhou and asked him to take Robert with him. Uncle Qingzhou would start to manage the delivery team. The wasteland would be handed over to old Bert. Qingzhou nodded and said he would take good care of it. Siyu thought about it and decided to assign an accountant to Robert. Who else in the village would be suitable for this job? Siyu thought about it. The villagers were only familiar with the few who moved around more often. They didn't know the others well. Go home and ask her father who is suitable, so Siyu walked home alone. Before she reached the door, she heard a noisy sound. Siyu hurried back home and saw that the door was full of people. At this time, the village chief, Li Zheng and the clan leader, three old men, had also arrived at the door. Siyu walked up to ask what happened. Xiaopang answered beside her, "Sister Siyu will tell you that Grandma Hu asked Aunt Hu to give her workshop work to his third daughter-in-law. Aunt Hu disagreed and they started fighting. Widow Hu didn't care about the people gathered at this time, and just retorted, "What do you mean by 'give in'? The family lives together, and he already has a job selling braised meat. What's wrong with giving this job to the third daughter-in-law? He wants to run away all day long. Who will do the housework? I, an old woman, can't arrange it for him. I am the head of the family, and I say he has to listen to me. What's wrong with that? He is rebelling. I am still alive! How dare he disobey me? Isn't he disobedient and unfilial?" Aunt Hu rubbed the corner of her clothes at a loss, and could only stand aside and shed tears. Then she looked at the four children beside her, each wearing clothes covered with puddings, worn straw sandals, and each of them was pale and thin. Siyu was puzzled. His family had been selling braised food for such a long time and should have made some money, but why didn’t they buy the children a new set of clothes and shoes, and they had to dress like this. Moreover, selling braised food should be enough for their living expenses, so why are they still so thin? Then she looked at the children from the other two families, each of them was white and tender, wearing new clothes without a single patch, so adorable. It was obvious that this family was biased! The children of the three families were not equal. The children of the two favored families were plump and tender, while the unfavored children were skinny. What kind of family is this? They are both sons and grandsons, so why are they treated differently? Siyu looked down on such people. How could you treat one of your own children and grandchildren as a treasure and the other as grass? Siyu was furious at the unreasonable old lady and was about to retort when she heard the sound of gongs and drums in the distance. Siyu turned to look. Whose family was this? Why were there gongs and drums? There were people on horses and people in official uniforms. Didn't I hear my mother mention it? Whose family was having a wedding? What was this for? Siyu was just wondering when she saw Li Zheng hurried over and knelt down to greet the people in official uniforms. The villagers followed suit. At this time, the county magistrate hurriedly said, "Hurry up, hurry up, prepare the incense table and receive the imperial edict." Li Zheng looked up blankly. "Imperial edict," the county magistrate said. "Hurry up." The village head nodded woodenly. "Oh, oh," he took two steps and turned back to ask who to send for the imperial edict. The county magistrate said, "Bai Siyu of Bai Qingyuan's family, hurry up and don't let the angel wait anxiously." Li Zheng nodded quickly and walked back. When he reached the gate of the courtyard, he told Siyu to quickly prepare the incense table and get ready to receive the imperial edict. Siyu and her parents were very confused. After they prepared the things needed to receive the imperial edict in a daze, the eunuch came to the courtyard to announce the edict and saw the dilapidated thatched house in the courtyard and a construction team next to it. Seeing the people in the construction team, the eunuch Xiao Zhuozi widened his eyes. Isn't this Old Sun? How could he be here? He looked around again, but there was no War King either. At this time, Long Linxiao came over from behind the team. Siyu looked at Long Linxiao with wide eyes in surprise, wondering in her heart! Didn't he leave? Why is he back again? Xiao Zhuozi looked at Siyu's eyes, turned around, and said, "Oh my god, why is this gentleman still here!" Little Zhuozi was so frightened she nearly fell to her knees. Long Linxiao glared at her, and she quickly straightened her posture and read the imperial edict. "By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: Now, in Baijia Village, Liping County, Qingzhou Prefecture, Bai Siyu, daughter of Bai Qingyuan, has submitted a blueprint for meritorious service. Hereby is a special reward of two thousand taels of silver, two rolls of soft smoke silk, five rolls of Sichuan cotton, five rolls of plain cotton, and five rolls of Yun cotton. A pair of gold and jade hairpins inlaid with tourmaline, a pair of dragonfly and peony hairpins, and a pair of wintersweet hairpins inlaid with kingfisher coral. "I hereby decree this. Accept it!" Siyu raised her hands and cried out, "I accept the decree. Thank you, Lord." Siyu stood up and asked her mother and Nanny Tan to pour water for the eunuch announcing the decree and the magistrate's entourage. The villagers fell silent, refusing to make any noise or commotion. They stood at a distance, not daring to approach. The magistrate was already here, so how could they dare? Didn't they hear the Emperor announce the decree to this little girl, Siyu? How dare they dare to act rashly? The county magistrate and the eunuch who announced the imperial edict hurriedly said goodbye, saying that they had official business and had to return quickly and could not delay any longer. However, Xiaozhuo said that he had to return to the palace to report and hoped that Miss Siyu would work harder and contribute more useful drawings to the court.
After everyone dispersed, Siyu walked up to Long Linxiao and asked, "Didn't you leave?" "Why are you back?" Long Linxiao said, "I was worried and came to take a look, but I have to leave soon." Long Linxiao looked back at the villagers and asked what happened and why so many people gathered here. Siyu told him that Uncle Hu's family was arguing here because of trivial matters. You don't have to worry, just do what you need to do. Go, I can handle the things here. Long Linxiao was also unwilling to spend his time on these trivial matters, as he had to do big things. So he told Siyu that if there was anything that could not be solved, you could go to the county town to find Manager Feng or Manager Du. Siyu nodded and said, "Go quickly." Long Linxiao left reluctantly. Siyu looked at the receding figure, thinking that it was only one night since they last met, but it felt like a long time had passed.
Siyu shook her head and went back to deal with the affairs of the Hu family. After such a long quarrel, the people selling braised food also came back. Looking at the gathered crowd, they all surrounded him. Hu Tieniu also walked into the crowd and saw that it was his wife, kneeling on the ground with a bruised face and nose. His children were crying with their faces all over their faces. There were five bright red handprints on half of his daughter's face. Hu Tieniu shouted angrily, "Who did it, who did it, wife, who did it to you and your daughter?" The widow Hu next to him couldn't stand it anymore. She sat on the ground and cried loudly, "Oh, God, you are so blind that you let this unfilial son marry such a jinx. He is not filial to me, an old mother. He really forgets his mother after marrying a wife!" Hu Tieniu looked puzzled. When the widow Hu saw her son looking at her, she sat on the ground and patted the ground, as if she had suffered a great injustice. She cried and shouted, "Oh, God, please send down a thunderbolt to kill this family of plagues! Are they unfilial? Why did you leave me alone, old man?" Hu Tieniu looked at his mother in confusion, asking, "Mom, why did you beat my wife and children again?" Widow Hu said, "I asked her to give the workshop job to the third son's family, but she disagreed and went against me. You two want to take all the benefits. You two have taken all the work. Our family has not split up. What's wrong with giving up your jobs? Otherwise, you can give your job of selling braised meat to the third son." Hu Tieniu said, "Mom, I have always wanted to ask you something. You used to say that I was useless and that I was not good at talking and could not make money. Now I have the trust of Siyu girl. You give me such a good livelihood. I also understand that it is not easy for you. I have given you all the money I have earned over the years. It must be at least a few dollars." The children of the second and third sons are sent to school, so why can't my child be sent there? Mother, do you know how I feel every time I see my son’s desire to study, and the envious look in his eyes when he sees the second and third sons’ children studying? I want to slap myself and abstract myself with my mouth. I am a father and someone’s husband, but I use the money I earn to support other people’s sons. My wife was beaten black and blue, but I could only watch. If I fight for them or speak for them, I will only be punished more harshly and scolded. Mother, I just want to know, am I your son? Why can’t you see what I do for so many years? Why? Hu Tieniu burst into tears. Widow Hu said, "What do you want? Are you trying to force me to death?" You unfilial son, I really raised you in vain. If I knew you were so selfish and ignored your brothers, I should have drowned you in a piss bucket. You are the eldest son in this family. I raised you three brothers by myself. What's wrong with asking you to help your brothers? Hu Tieniu said, my father passed away early, but my brothers are adults now. Can't they support themselves? They still need me to support them. They have to learn to support themselves. Why should I support them? Widow Hu said angrily, okay, you unfilial son, are you forcing me to separate from you?
