Chapter Eleven Split?
Listening to the noise in each room, Yang Laoshi felt very upset and sat cross-legged on the edge of the kang, smoking a cigarette.
Looking at his parents and second sister who were "besieged", Yang Qinglin couldn't help but think of all the things that had happened since his father was injured and his eldest brother was serving in the army.
The second house suddenly lost two strong laborers, and the aunts and uncles made all kinds of sarcastic comments openly and secretly, saying that all the families were just idlers, a burden, etc.
For this reason, my mother and eldest sister were assigned crazy tasks and took care of almost all the housework in the family. They were busy all day without touching the ground, and they had no complaints, just to prevent Grandpa from being embarrassed and to provide food rations for the whole family to survive.
Maybe……
Yang Qinglin's eyes were scarlet, and he took a long breath, as if he had made some decision. He slowly loosened his clenched fists, separated everyone, squeezed in front of Yang Laoshi, knelt down with a "plop", and said loudly, "Grandpa,
My grandson is unfilial, so I will boldly make a request to you today, please divide our second room, five taels of silver, and our second room will fully bear the burden, and we will not be a drag on my uncle and uncles."
Separate the family!
The room suddenly fell silent.
Yang Laoshi's turbid eyes glanced around the people in the room, and everyone's thoughts were clearly visible. After a while, he said, "Second child, third child, and fourth child, what do you think?"
"Dad, I don't agree." Yang Siming was sulking because he didn't stop his wife before. When he heard Yang Laoshi's words, he spoke anxiously, fearing that his wife would say something that would hurt his second brother's heart again.
Yang Siming's temperament is the same as that of Yang Erming, both loyal and honest, but he is the youngest, so he is naturally loved by Mrs. Li. Moreover, the Fang's natal family is relatively wealthy, and they never come empty-handed every time they return to their natal family. Therefore, they have a strong backing and naturally live a good life in her husband's family.
Much better than the second room.
The tactful Yang Sanming rolled his eyes and said, "I am the third child, and there are eldest brother and second brother above me. I will listen to what the brothers want."
Yang Laoshi naturally understood what his son was thinking. He nodded and looked at Yang Erming, "Second son..."
Yang Erming sat on the stool, listening quietly to the noise just now. He clenched his fist and punched his unconscious thigh. His eyes were red and his voice was garbled. "Dad, your son is unfilial. As the saying goes, parents should not separate their families, but
My son is useless, Qinglin has grown up now, so he can make the decision in the family."
This means agreeing to separate oneself.
Yang nodded honestly and looked at Xiao Li again, "It's my boss's fault. Even if the boss isn't here, you can tell me what you mean."
"Dad, if the head of the family is not here, I, a woman, have no right to speak. We just listen to you."
Little Li dreamed of splitting up the second child's family, which had many children and little labor, but how could she be so shrewd that she kicked the ball to Yang Laoshi?
Seeing Yang Laoshi nodding again, Yang Siming was really afraid that his father would agree to divide the second room. He pushed Fang away who was trying to stop him and said anxiously, "Dad, Lin Wazi is not sensible, we can't listen to him. "Second brother
He went into the mountains to hunt for money in order to exempt the four of us brothers from military service. He did not want to be injured, and Muwazi sacrificed his life for military service for our family. We cannot be without conscience."
Yang Siming said his last words while looking at Yang Sanming and Xiao Li.
Years ago, in the military recruitment, each household had one quota, and the quota could be replaced by ten taels of silver. However, the Yang family had no money at all to support a scholar.
Although Yang Qingyun is a scholar, he has not achieved the title of scholar and cannot be exempted from military service.
The same goes for Yang Daming. He has not obtained the title of scholar and cannot be exempted from military service. But he is the only person in the family who earns a stable salary. Not to mention Mrs. Li, even Yang Laoshi cannot agree to let him serve in the military.
Although he spent all his wages on his son, he could not shake his status in the Yang family.
One studies and the other makes money, so naturally neither of them can do military service.
The Yang family's quota can only be created among the second, third and fourth bedrooms. However, the children in the third and fourth bedrooms are all small, and only the second bedroom has three adult men. The quota for military service has to fall on the second bedroom.
Going to the battlefield meant dying, and no one wanted to do it, so he thought about how to raise ten taels of silver to avoid military service.
The same goes for other families in the village. Some people had the idea of going into the mountains to hunt.
If you go to the battlefield, you will die, but if you go hunting in the mountains, you may be lucky enough to catch prey.
Yang Erming, like other men in the village, went into the mountains to hunt with the mentality of giving it a try.
As luck would have it, Yang Erming and his team of ten actually hunted a tiger using a trap and sold it for 400 taels of silver.
Originally, each person could get forty taels, which not only exempted the Yang family from military service, but also allowed the remaining thirty taels to build a house for the two sons and find wives.
Unfortunately, Yang Erming was accidentally injured while hunting tigers. Not only did he spend forty taels of silver, he was also paralyzed.
Yang Qingmu was physically strong since he was a child, and he learned a few skills from a foreign hunter in the village, so he joined the army with him.
Since the Yang family is not divided and only one person is required to perform military service, Yang Qingmu is performing military service on behalf of each house of the Yang family.
Yang Sanming smiled coquettishly, "Why did the fourth child say so? Why do we have no conscience?"
"Yes, fourth child, we didn't say anything." Little Li unnaturally straightened the strands of hair that fell around her ears.
After taking the last puff of his cigarette, Yang Laoshi said, "Lin Wazi, get up. Since you know it's unfilial, don't talk about the separation of the family in the future, unless I'm no longer old."
The moment Yang Qinglin knelt down and told her about the family separation, Yang Yun's excited heart almost jumped out of her throat. Seeing that the family separation was going to happen, the result...
Yang Yun wailed in her heart, "Fourth uncle, you are so kind and do bad things."
Parents are present, regardless of family separation, which is as deep-rooted as the idea of preferring sons over daughters.
There is no hope of separation.
Seeing everyone's own thoughts, Yang Yun suddenly felt confused about the way forward, and a sense of powerlessness arose spontaneously.
However, Yang Laoshi's next words finally made Yang Yun feel a little more energetic.
"The children in each house have grown up, and each family has its own little thoughts. I am also old, and I really don't have the energy to mediate your conflicts. I think in this way, in addition to the harvest on the ground, the income of each house will be from part-time work and other income.
Each house saves it for food, drink, clothing, and for each house to marry a wife. Except for the reasonable expenses for marrying a daughter, each house shall bear all other expenses."
"Of course, all the farm work at home and on the ground must be done as well as possible, otherwise..." Yang Laoshi paused, glanced around with sharp eyes and said, "Expelled from the family tree, you will no longer be a descendant of my Yang family.
"
Although the separation of the family could not be achieved, they were able to save private money openly and honestly. None of the young Li family, Zhao family, and Fang family were happy, and they couldn't help it with their happy faces.
As for Mrs. Qin, although she has to bear a debt of five taels, she can save private money openly and feel that she has made a breakthrough in life. She is also very happy, but she doesn't show it on her face.
Mrs. Li was the only one who was so angry that she beat her chest and cried loudly, "Oh God, what evil have I done? I was pregnant for ten months, I tried my best to give birth to them, I worked hard to drag them up, and now I'm married and have children."
...When your wings are hard, you won’t care about me anymore, everyone is just a white-eyed wolf...Ah...I don’t care, you can save private money in each house, but each house must hand in 100 Wen in pension money every month."
