"Xin'er, you just said that you can only tell grandpa that he bought 500 kilograms. Why is this?" Luo Ping asked again.
"Don't worry about lack of weight but unevenness," Luo Xin said softly.
"What does it mean?" Luo Ping asked with a frown.
"That means that I don't worry about the small amount of the share, but I worry about the unevenness of the share." Luo Xin said seriously: "Dad, it's not impossible for us to give our grandfather's family to food, but we have to make a profit. If we give them food in the future and still can't leave it or even leave a bad reputation, it's not worth it. If I don't say that my mother will be angry at that time, even you will feel uncomfortable, and these are not important. You don't want to make enemies with my grandfather, uncle, and uncle's family because of this, don't want to leave a reputation for being unfilial in the village."
Luo's face changed.
How to do it
If you give them food for free, you will be scolded and leave a reputation for being unfilial, it would be better not to give them the idea that they might not have gained status at home, and gained respect between their parents-in-law and sister-in-law, and left the reputation of being unfilial. Luo was not happy at the time.
Luo Ping sat there frowned and thought. Although he was honest, he was not stupid. He heard Luo Xin's words "Don't worry about being weak but not being equal", and then he understood after thinking for a while. However, he was still honest and asked in confusion:
"Xin'er, our family bought two thousand kilograms and gave your grandpa one thousand kilograms. Isn't this very even? You can always get a reputation for filial piety."
Luo Xin shook his head and said, "No."
"Why"
"Because you're not doing the right thing."
"Why is it wrong?"
"Because our family has only four people, and grandpa's family has nine people. They will think that our family has more than one thousand pounds left, and it should be divided according to the population."
Luo Ping's face immediately became bad. He was not angry with Luo Xin, but thought that his grandfather's family would really do this. Before the separation of the family, he did a lot of bullying his family. When bullying became a habit, it formed a natural thing. If his family left a thousand pounds, they would definitely feel uncomfortable. At that time, they would not think that this was to help them, but instead would be jealous and hate his family.
"Okay, just do what the letter said."
"And" Luo Xin's expression became serious: "Once a grain shortage occurs, you can't give your grandfather's family 250 kilograms of grain at once."
This time, Luo Ping did not speak, but just looked over his inquiring eyes. After being influenced by later generations, Luo Xin understood human nature too much, so he said lightly:
"Grandpa's family has nine people, and when he has food, he knows that we have it at home, they will eat it with their stomachs. Two hundred and fifty kilograms of grain will be eaten soon. At that time, they will continue to ask us for confidence. Whether we give it to them or not, and give it to them at one time, they will only be grateful for their gratitude for a while and cannot develop their gratitude into a habit. Dad, our family will get better and better. Not to mention our share money with Uncle Lu, when my elder brother and I become an official, our family's life will also change drastically.
It’s not that I’m unfilial to my grandparents, uncles and uncles. But I’m afraid that they will become unfamiliar eyes.”
"Cough cough" Luo Ping coughed twice, and Luo Ping stopped talking. Instead of saying the word "wolf", he continued:
"At that time, they thought our family was as easy to bully as before. If they used to let our family do this and that, my elder brother and I would definitely not do it, and this would make enemies again. It is inevitable that the elder uncle and my younger brother would gossip in the village, which would affect our family's reputation. This is still a trivial matter. In the future, if the elder uncle and my younger brother go out to do something bullying with my elder brother and I, this would bring disaster to our family. So we must start from now and start from small things. To prevent such things from happening.
Dad, mom, the two elders should establish authority in the Luo family so that they can respect us. Dad, you must have a certain status in the Luo family so that you can avoid disaster in the future.”
Luo Ping frowned and said, "Xin'er, I know you're right, but you have to do this."
"It starts with helping them with food," Luo Xin said seriously: "We will help them with ten kilograms at a time."
"Ten pounds are enough for them to eat for a few days." Luo Ping felt a little embarrassed.
Luo Xin smiled and said, "It's either that they won't help them anymore. They are asking for food from our house to keep asking for food. Only then will they keep grateful to our family. Even if it only takes a few months, they will get rid of the pride of their uncle and uncle, making them feel that they are shorter in front of their father and mother, and from gratitude to respect."
Luo was already in a state of elegance at this time. When Luo thought of his sister-in-law and sister-in-law bowing their heads in front of him and complimenting her, she felt relieved. Not to mention a thousand kilograms of grain, she was happy to be able to get that position even if she had two thousand kilograms of grain. But Luo Ping thought a little more.
"Tsai, if they come to ask for food once, we will be able to take out ten kilograms of grain. We told your grandfather that he bought five hundred kilograms of grain. The two families had thirteen people in total, which was not enough to eat for a few months. At that time, we could still take out the food. How could this explain your grandfather thinks that our family is lying and holds hatred for us, and we will also leave a reputation of being unfilial."
"This is what I want to say next. The previous actions can only make them respect our family. Whether it is the wisdom revealed by our family's pre-storage of grain, or the filial piety of our grandfather and their will, they will respect our family, but they cannot make them fear it.
Dad, in a few days, you can transform your ox cart at home and make a secret lattice at the bottom of the ox cart. After eating 500 kilograms of grain, you will put 100 kilograms of grain in advance. Then my father and I drove the ox cart into the county town. When we came back, we said that we had borrowed 100 kilograms of grain from Uncle Lu.
Who is Uncle Lu?
When grandpa knew that we could borrow grain from Uncle Lu's house, grandpa's family would become afraid. Hehe, we can also say that we had borrowed some grain from the magistrate's house. I don't believe that grandpa's family dares not look down on our family.
Only in this way is that on the one hand, we helped our grandfather's family and fulfilled our filial piety. On the other hand, our family also won the status. We will lose a lot of trouble in the future."
"It's great, just follow the way the letter said." Luo Shi was furious.
Luo Ping thought for a while and finally nodded.
"Dad, don't tell grandpa about buying grain first. We secretly buy 1,500 kilograms of grain first, and then talk to grandpa about buying grain. If grandpa agrees, our two families will go to the county to buy grain together. If grandpa doesn't agree, we will go by ourselves. At that time, grandpa's family will only know that we bought 500 kilograms of grain back."
"Then we're the first three times"
