Standing together through thick and thin

Patriarch Shao said slowly: "Just as you think, the Jiang family will not move the house, and will not give you money. She said that as long as you agree, the Shao family's old house and two acres of paddy fields can be given to you, but in the future , and pay one or two taels of silver to Mrs. Jiang every month."

Shao Qiu was not surprised by this result. The Jiang family was so stingy that if she could deduct two acres of paddy fields and the old house, it would be like cutting her flesh. Even with the help of the patriarch, Shao Qiu understood that it was the patriarch It is also impossible to deal with their property disputes.

But for Shao Qiu, an old house is better than living in this shabby cottage. Now that he wants to go back to the old house, he will return everything that belongs to Shao Qiu’s family with his capital and profits. This will take a while, and Shao Qiu will not Don't worry, "Patriarch, you've seen it too, my mother... our family doesn't have a dime now, let alone money for filial piety."

As if knowing Shaoqiu's worries, Patriarch Shao said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's already been discussed, the matter of respecting money, we can talk about it after your mother recovers from her illness. Also, everything in the old house is yours Now, the two acres of paddy fields and the two acres of dry land here will be given to you together. It’s just that the families are separated, and you will have to settle the tax collection by the court in the future.”

Shao Qiu nodded, he still had a little impression of the old house.

That should be the place where the Shao family lived in the first place.

Not too big, not too small.

There is a yard and five rooms, except for the main hall and the former second uncle's study, the other three rooms are Mr. Shao and Mrs. Jiang, the other is the second uncle Shao Ruifeng's family, and the rest are naturally the eldest Shao Ruide's family.

Today, no one lives in the houses there, and even the vegetable fields inside are deserted.

It is already very good that Mrs. Jiang can give them the house. You know, they originally wanted to live in the old house, but after Mrs. Jiang found out, she went to the door directly and refused to let them live, saying that it was for dogs. Nor will it be given to them.

Shao Qiu thought secretly in his heart, even if they had a place to stay, he would not let the Shao family go, especially the Jiang family and Shao Qin family, he had to make them suffer, but now is not the time.

"I know all of this, thank you patriarch, I'll go and tell my mother right now." Shao Qiu got up and walked into the house. In fact, they were so close, Lu Shi was not deaf, and she could hear clearly.

She was finally relieved to hear that they could live in the old house.

Just like what Shao Qiu said, if they live in this thatched house all the time, I don’t know if they can survive this winter. In Lu’s eyes, this is already very good. If they come out like this, I’m afraid there will be nothing. , really complied with the sentence of leaving the house without leaving the house, let alone a house with two acres of paddy fields. The paddy fields over the old house are very fertile. High-grade fertile land belongs to the government, and ordinary people like them cannot obtain high-grade fertile land unless conditions permit.

Soon, Shao Qiu came out again, and he happily said to Chief Shao and the village chief: "Village chief, patriarch, my mother agreed, and we can draw up documents sometime, when can we live in the old house ?”

The documents were drawn up with the head of the village, and as long as the head of the village went to the Yamen to stamp a seal, everything would be in order.

"Since I agree, I will go to Lizheng to draw up a document tomorrow." The village head said again, Shaoqiu felt that the tone of the head of the clan was much softer than at the beginning, although he didn't know why he had such a change, but the result was right. It's been fine for their family.

Shaoqiu nodded with a smile and said, "I'm sorry for the trouble, the village chief. By the way, I made a kind of tea. I still have it at home. The taste is not bad. The patriarch and the village chief have worked so hard for my family. I don't have anything to repay, but this Leicha is also welcome." Take a sip."

After speaking, Shaoqiu went into the room and filled two bowls of Lei Cha.

The two old men saw the so-called Lei Cha, although it didn't look very good, but the fragrance that emanated from it tempted the gluttons in their stomachs to move around.

Neither of them was polite, drank Lei Cha, nodded repeatedly, praised Shao Qiu, and left contentedly.

Shao Qiu was very happy to know that the matter was settled, and when everything was settled, they could just go to Lizheng. With the patriarch coming forward, Shao Qiu believed that they would not cheat, even if they cheated, he had other ways.

Let's just make do with it here tonight, and starting tomorrow, they can live in the old house over there.
