Chapter 31

Grandma Bai said that the family would be separated today, but taking advantage of Bai Xin's wishes, he clenched his hands into fists and nodded, "Okay."

Grandma Bai was furious, and was about to turn her head to lead the way, but Mrs. Xu pulled her sleeve secretly from behind, and then winked at the big room. Grandma Bai suddenly understood what she meant, stared down at Bai Xin, and sneered, "You are a child, can you be the master? Tell your mother to come out and go to Lizheng together. Don't go back on your word in the future and say that I forced her."

Bai Xin saw the actions of the two of them clearly. When he heard that his mother was going to come out, his heart hung high again. He was afraid that his mother would disagree later, so he looked at the room where his mother was with a complicated expression. .

Seeing that Bai Xin didn't respond, Grandma Bai and Mrs. Xu had different reactions. The former was relieved. Although she didn't want to see Da Fang, she still didn't want to separate from her deepest heart.The Xu family is different. Now Dalang, the only one who can go to work in the field in Dafang, is injured. Whether he can survive is still another matter. I am afraid that if he dies by then, he will have to pay a funeral fee. It doesn't matter who dies or who lives and who dies.

"Sanlang, you just said so many cruel words, don't your mother disagree and pester us again?" Xu couldn't help it, and used the aggressive method, staring at Bai Xin's expression with good eyes, seeing him Not annoyed at all, thinking it wouldn't work, I thought about what cruel words I was talking about.

Bai Xin's thoughts, how could other people know, he opened his mouth again when he saw Mrs. Xu, and said first, "I'll go to the house and ask my mother to come out."

Xu rolled her eyes and urged, "Go quickly."

Bai Xin entered the house and saw the whole family staring at him. Even the elder brother half-opened his eyes and rushed towards the door with his neck tilted, obviously listening to the movement outside just now.

With tears in Cao's eyes, she looked at Bai Xin complainingly, "Sanlang, if we separate, how will we survive?"

Bai Xin's heart was filled with anger for no reason. The Cao family believed that they would starve to death if they left the Bai family. They kept swallowing their anger, but what happened to them?The elder brother didn't even give money to hire a doctor when he was sick, and threw him on the bed waiting to die.

Unexpectedly, before Bai Xin could speak, the aunt pleaded first: "Mother, I can make purses, embroider handkerchiefs, and wear shoe soles. I will make money for the family. Please listen to third brother."

"Do you think that small change is enough to support a large family?" Cao retorted sharply, trying to persuade Bai Xin and the aunt.

Dalang struggled a few times on the bed, and was supported by his sister-in-law to sit up. Such a simple movement made him out of breath, "Third brother, don't make trouble with grandma, I'm already healed, I'll make amends later, don't Let’s talk about separation.” After speaking, a self-blaming expression flashed across his face, and he thumped the bed angrily, but his raised arm kept shaking, and finally let it go softly.

The sister-in-law saw that her man looked like this, and she was still thinking about working, her heart was sore and painful, she lowered her head and wiped away her tears.

Although Bai Xin knew that Da Lang was kind, he didn't agree with his cowardice, "Brother, what are you talking about? How can you work in the fields like this?"

"I'm fine, that's good." Da Lang was still trying to be brave, and his face was a little contorted just after he said this sentence. It turned out that his appetite was throbbing, like stabbing a dagger, and stirring again in a circle.

Others didn't notice, only Man Niang who was next to him noticed, she cried even harder, put her hand on the other's arm, and whispered: "I can also do some needlework, and take it to the town to exchange money, at least it can give You buy medicine."

Although the sister-in-law didn't make it too clear, everyone could hear that she also agreed with the separation.

Hearing what she said, Da Lang felt as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis. He blamed himself and felt sorry for his wife. He also shed tears unconsciously, "It's all because of my poor health."

Although Wu Niang was young, she also vaguely understood a lot, and she would honestly shrink in a corner without saying a word.

Facing the weak members of this family, one must be strong. Cao Shi still wanted to open his mouth, but Bai Xin interrupted him abruptly, and said in a tone that could not be refuted: "Mother, you don't have to worry about the next thing. Anyway, go let Li I am making a judgment, at least with Li Zheng presiding, our family will not be kicked out."

Mrs. Cao had no idea, and seeing her daughter-in-law say that, her heart was a little shaken, so she could only cry and follow Bai Xin to go out. The aunt knew her mother best, so she was worried about her, so she followed her.

Bai Xin was afraid that his mother would regret it in the near future, so when he was about to leave the house, he quickly threw out a threat, "Mother, if you regret it later, then you will not be my son in the future."

Cao's eyes darkened, and before he could digest this sentence, he heard the resolute voice of the eldest daughter from the other side, "Mother, if we don't separate the family today, I will run away tomorrow, even if I find a sewing girl's work, I will not be able to do it." Not here anymore."

Cao Shi could barely stand, staggered and staggered a few steps, and originally had a little thought of begging for mercy later in her heart, but this meeting was all extinguished.

In the yard, the second uncle Ding also came out. The latter represented the third room. Originally, the third uncle was also present for such a big event as the separation of the family. Fang shared the same hatred with the enemy, treated Da Fang as a snake, scorpion and beast, and dealt with it unanimously. Just now, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were discussing in the yard for a long time, and seeing that Mrs. Cao hadn't come out for a long time, they couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

When Grandma Bai and the others saw Cao's wronged appearance, they all wondered if she would beg for mercy. Xu's heart skipped a beat, fearing that she would give in, so she sarcastically said: "Yo, sister-in-law is really slow, maybe she's scared , want to ask for forgiveness?"

Cao's lips moved a few times, but she didn't make a sound. She looked down at her son, then at her daughter, and finally looked away.

Bai Xin was too lazy to play tricks with them, seeing that it was getting late, he quickly took his mother's hand and walked outside, "Let Li Zheng be a witness!"

The second uncle followed Grandma Bai without saying a word, and Mrs. Xu also followed. She told her daughter to take good care of the house, and then winked at the big house hintingly, and then the group went out with different thoughts. In addition to Mrs. Cao, everyone who was present was probably looking forward to the skill of shrinking the ground, and they would be at Lizheng's house in a blink of an eye.

Although the Lizheng family and the Bai family are east and west, a village arrived within a quarter of an hour. The daughter-in-law of the Zheng family there was busy with lunch in the kitchen. Seeing the Bai family coming at the meal time, she felt strange and wanted to go over to have a look. It's just that she still has to cook and can't leave the kitchen. She scratches her ears and cheeks with itching, and even forgets to put salt when cooking.

Everyone in the village knew that Erlang of the Bai family was studying in the town, and Li Zheng had a good heart. Although the Bai family was extremely poor, they were very polite in their daily contact, so he welcomed everyone in with a smile.

Grandma Bai hesitated a few times before explaining her intentions. In her opinion, although she wished to drive away Da Fang immediately, but she was still alive and the family was separated, and it was not nice to say it.

When Lizheng heard that the Bai family was going to split up, he didn't find it strange at all, but he was not a ruthless person. He first looked at Cao Shi and asked, "Do you agree to split up?"

When Cao saw Li Zheng, her face turned pale with fright, and she couldn't speak a complete sentence. Li Zheng asked again patiently.

There were countless voices in Cao's heart shouting for disapproval, but when she thought of the attitude of her son and daughter, she swallowed those words. She glanced at Bai Xin, and Bai Xin nodded encouragingly. Cao Shi gritted her teeth and closed her eyes. Eye, "Agreed."

Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Ding breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't hear Mrs. Cao's words just now, and they were afraid that she would talk nonsense and play around here, and they would listen to her own consent, and the family would be divided.

Li Zheng nodded, and asked his second uncle and Ding Shi one by one, the two answered very quickly, Li Zheng saw that the third son of the Bai family was not there, and hesitated, Ding Shi quickly said: "My man also knows, he is in the town Can't come back."

Seeing that the others did not object, Li Zheng nodded in agreement.

It is said that the family is divided, but how to divide it is still different. If the old man is not there, the three brothers will be divided equally, which is fine, but Grandma Bai is still there, so everyone cast their eyes on it, and Li Zheng asked: "Bai Po, what are you doing?" See how this one is distributed?"

"How can we divide it? Their big house is arguing about dividing the family. Get out if you can. Don't want a penny from me." Grandma Bai blushed with anger when she thought of Sanlang's bastard just now.

Li Zheng was a little embarrassed, looking at Cao Shi, Cao Shi seemed to have guessed this would happen, and cried.

"That can't be done." Bai Xin came out more and more.

"Why not?" Grandma Bai sneered, "Old lady, I'm still alive, so I can divide it up as I say!"

Bai Xin calmed down, "This is not called separating the family, but sweeping our big family out."

Grandma Bai snorted a few times, and took it as acquiescence without saying a word.

Bai Xin looked at Xu Shi slowly, "I don't mind, but Erlang is going to be an official in the future. If people in the official circles know that he is not a brother, and if he is kicked out of the house during his serious illness, his reputation will be bad. Bar?"

Mrs. Xu was still venting her anger in her heart just now, but when she saw the symptoms suddenly burning on herself, she suddenly changed color, trembling with anger, and screamed sharply, "What does this have to do with Erlang? You are the one who made a fuss about the separation."

"There are a lot of mutual rivalry in the officialdom. At that time, no matter what you are, it is enough to have an excuse to suppress you."

A village woman from the Xu family, how could she know this, her face turned pale with fright, her eyes showed a fierce look, she wished she could be torn to pieces by Bai Xin.

Li Zheng looked at Bai Xin in surprise, he didn't expect him to know so much at such a young age, no wonder he was confident from the beginning, and he also wanted to help Dafang's family, so he nodded, "Sanlang is right, if Erlang becomes an official in the future, This has happened before, and his political opponents must have spared no effort to suppress it."

If it was said that Grandma Bai and the others were dubious at the beginning, they would have completely believed it after listening to what Lizheng said, and all of them were itching with anger. Grandma Bai gritted her teeth and said, "How do you want to divide?"

"The family's field is divided into three parts, one for each family."

As soon as Bai Xin's voice fell, Xu suddenly interrupted, "That's not allowed!"

"Why not?"

"That's...that's..." Mrs. Xu couldn't say it at first, but then her eyes rolled and she had an excuse, "Your family has the most children, and it takes a lot of rations to feed you. Dalang is sick and takes medicine. , and spent a lot of money on wine and medicine, how can I share it equally? There must be some compensation."

The Bai family relied almost entirely on those for maintenance, and all of a sudden splitting one-third would kill them.

Bai Xin didn't plan to ask for land at the beginning, not to mention that Dafang only had Dalang as his labor force, and he is sick now. If he really relied on the grain from those fields for money, the whole family would starve. "If you don't Give us the field, then I want the house next to my house."

No, with the previous comparison, it is more acceptable to ask for a house. The place Bai Xin mentioned was the place where he hid the incense aconite. It used to be the second bedroom and his family lived in it, but then there was a fire, and the Bai family didn't have the money to repair it. This was wasted.

Anyway, that house has been vacant all the time. Grandma Bai was moved when she heard that Bai Xin wanted a house. As long as there is no money-making land, everything is easy to talk about.However, because she lived there before, Mrs. Xu took that house as her own property, and thought that Erlang would marry a wife in the future, and would clean it up again. Hearing that Bai Xin was eyeing that place, she felt a little uncomfortable .

Li was thinking of resolving this matter as soon as possible to smooth things over, "It's impossible for you to really drive their orphans and widows out of their homes. If the big house is allocated the land, they will have to live with you for the time being. If they want a house, there are Once you find a place to stay, you can move out directly."

What he said just hit Granny Bai's weakness. They didn't want to share the land, and they didn't want to live with them anymore. Anyway, the house was so dilapidated that it couldn't live in it. Gritting his teeth, he shouted: "Okay! Let's give that house to the first one. I will say my ugly words first, and the house is also given to you. Don't rely on me again in the future, and don't even think about ruining my Erlang's reputation!" "

"Okay! From now on, our Dafang family will have nothing to do with you!" After Bai Xin said this, he felt that the anger he had been feeling these days had finally come out.

Lizheng was a little embarrassed to see the Bai family's troubles to this point, but in the end he took out a pen and paper and wrote the document. He was the witness, and the year, month, and day were written on the back, and each of the Bai family did not agree. Literacy, Bai Xin couldn't express himself well, so he pressed a series of red handprints on it.

Bai Xin pinched the document and looked at the words on it that explained the establishment of different sects. He felt happy and became light-headed.

Seeing his undisguised happiness, Li Zheng sighed in his heart, thinking that this child doesn't care about the seriousness, how can it be so easy to live alone?

"This family is divided, but for the household registration issue, you still need to go to the head of the household to re-register and file. After three years, someone from the yamen will come to review." Li Zheng reminded while packing his pen and ink.

Everyone nodded, and then saw that noon was almost past, and it was not good to delay people's dinner, and then filed out.

Although the Bai family members were all hungry, they were very satisfied with the result in their hearts. On the way back, the atmosphere was very different from when they came here. There was a clear distinction between them. The first room walked on one side, and Grandma Bai grabbed the second and third rooms and walked on the other side.

Grandma Bai is old, and even though she separated her family severely, she still felt a little sore in her heart, but when she saw the cheerful appearance of her aunt and Saburo, her reluctance disappeared and turned into resentment, and she hated that their eldest wife was so happy. White-eyed wolf gritted his teeth, "Hurry up and make room for me later, since we have separated our family and got a big house, don't live with me!"
