Chapter 003: Separation (2)
"Are you crazy?"
Liu shouted loudly, "I'm not dead yet, you are just trying to separate the family. You are intentionally trying to anger me to death, to make the whole family restless and make the ancestors of the Ji family uneasy in heaven."
Li was with several elders, but she was making trouble, and Ji Yuan was so angry that she was so angry that she was so angry that she was so angry.
"Who made the whole family uneasy?" Miao looked at Li, "How did Ayun bully Arong and Aheng this morning, and how did he push Awan into the river in the end? Several children in the village could see clearly. Why, do you want me to come and testify one by one?"
Li Zheng Zhao Zhi immediately raised his eyebrows, and the other older generations also changed their expressions.
Li suddenly felt guilty, "You, don't talk nonsense. It's normal for children to fight and make trouble. Awan accidentally fell into the river. What's the matter with Ayun?"
It's already this time, and she still wants to make a comeback.
Zhou's face turned pale with anger.
"Awan is still lying on the kang. Are you not afraid of retribution when you speak like this?"
People in this era believe in retribution for ghosts and gods. After hearing this, Li couldn't help but tremble and his arrogance disappeared.
With this expression, it is clear what the truth is.
Miao looked at Liu, who was full of gloomy face and said coldly: "The second brother and sister never competed. The wheat flour sold for the land rented to tenants in the north slope was sold for money. She didn't make any money, and she also worked hard all day long to serve the third brother and sister. As a result, you are not only unhappy, but also naturally ask for it. Today, they almost killed Awan. I don't know, the third brother used the money of the second brother and sister to read books for those years. Could it be that he learned to repay his grudges with the wolves and dogs?"
These words hit Ji Yuan's heart. His face turned pale and he angrily scolded Li, "If you make trouble, I will give up!"
Li stared at him in disbelief.
Ji Yuan felt that he had lost all his face and didn't want to hear any explanation at all. "The ox cart was bought by his elder brother and sister-in-law, and they should deal with it."
Li immediately whispered, "No, the ox cart must be left to us, and we must divide it equally, and the twenty acres of fertile land on the north slope must also be divided equally..."
Who will plow the land without the ox? Besides, a ox cart is worth five or six taels. More than 30 acres of fertile land, only four acres of it, and chickens, ducks and pigs... It was simply a waste of her life.
"You really know how to calculate." Miao sneered, "I think my third brother's ability to settle accounts in the account room has taught you all. I am not ashamed of being so shameless and greedy for other people's things. Okay, if you want to be fair, then please hand over all the money I have earned over the years and share it together."
Ji Yuan's face turned red again with shame.
Everyone in the village knew what happened when Zhou married into the Ji family. The Ji family used her dowry but treated the four of them harshly. Such things were simply unscrupulous.
"In recent years, I have been earning all the expenses in my studies and family. My elder brother, sister-in-law and second sister-in-law have been earned by me. My stepmother will follow us."
"How can this work?" Li screamed again, "Brother is the eldest son, and he should support his mother."
Before she finished speaking, the angry Liu slapped her, trembling with anger, "You bitch, you are all here to make trouble all day long. Now you want to leave me alone, don't even think about it."
"Miss Liu, don't get angry."
The matter was clear, and Zhao Cheng had a conclusion in his mind. He looked at Ji Hai and his wife and Zhou, "According to what Ji Yuan said, do you have any opinions?"
Ji Hai and his wife looked at each other and nodded, "Yes."
"I have no objection, either."
Zhou did not expect that the harvest of twenty acres of land on the north slope would be returned, but it was a total of five taels and two cents of silver.
Zhao Cheng wrote the document, and after several elders read and recognized it, he handed it over to several people to sign and seal it.
“Can’t sign.”
Li cried and rushed over to stop him.
Ji Yuan pushed her away in anger and said angrily: "Do you really want me to rest?"
Li did not achieve his goal and wanted to ask his mother-in-law for help, but when he thought of having a conflict with his mother-in-law just now, he immediately sat on the ground and burst into tears.
"I don't want to live anymore. They are all jackals, tigers and leopards. They all want to greed for my money. This is to force our mother to die..."
Ji Yuan was so angry that he wanted to slap her twice, and said angrily: "I haven't settled the score with you for your indulgence on Ah Wan. Why? You have to go to the government and be sentenced to jail?"
Li suddenly stiffened his whole body and looked at Zhou, who was angry. Then he realized that he could not lose rice today. Not only did he not take the Zhou mother and daughter and let them swallow the grievances in their stomachs like before, he also had to give out more than a dozen taels of silver. He was so angry that his eyes turned black and he fainted.
Miao curled her lips and helped her up with kindness and sent her back.
...
"Sister, I've divided it, I've divided it..."
Ji Rong ran and shouted to the bedroom, and said with a bright look on the result of the separation. "In addition to money and land, we also got five rooms, four hundred kilograms of white flour and two hundred kilograms of black flour, ten chickens, ten ducks and a pig, as well as furniture, quilts, and farm tools."
Because the rent of white flour paid by the tenant farmers can be sold in the town, except for the part of the wheat produced by the Ji family that was given to the court every year, the remaining white flour and black noodles were eaten by themselves. Every year, there are more than 600 kilograms of black flour and almost 1,300 kilograms of white flour.
The Ji family's house is very big, with more than ten bedrooms, as well as a cellar, kitchen, mixed room, and bathhouse. Zhou only had four bedrooms for the family of four. Miao's five children were divided into seven rooms, and the original main hall and kitchen mixed room bathhouse were given three rooms.
"Uncle Lizheng is already asking people to build walls and separate several yards. In the future, we will no longer be angry with grandma and aunt three."
The little girl spoke with a rosy look on her face, and her face became rosy because of excitement.
Ji Wan was also happy.
My mother swallowed her anger for so many years and finally got tough once.
Ji Heng was still young and didn't know the meaning of dividing the family, but when she heard her third sister say that her face was white, her eyes immediately lit up.
"Second sister, can we eat white batter?"
He hasn't eaten white noodles for a long time when he eats black batter and sweet potatoes every day.
Ji Wan looked at his longing eyes and couldn't help feeling sad. She put his little head in her arms, "Yes, our family can eat white noodles every day in the future."
With white flour, she can cook delicious food and sell it.
Ji Rong also leaned over and choked up and said, "Sister, fortunately you didn't hold it anymore this time, otherwise my mother wouldn't have made up her mind to split up with them."
Ji Wan patted her sister on the shoulder and said softly: "Don't cry, our family's life will get better and better in the future."
Ji Rong nodded vigorously.
"Um."
She sniffed and looked up at her sister, "Sister, I think you have changed a little when you wake up this time. My mother used to say that everything is going well, and you will endure everything. If you suffer grievances, you won't say anything, and you won't let me say it. But this time, I dare to expose my fourth sister, which surprised me."
Ji Wan's heart skipped a beat, and then sighed, "I walked through the gates of hell, and I figured out many things. Some people just bully the weak and fear the strong. The more we tolerate, the more they become more and more arrogant they will become. This is how my mother is bullied by grandma and aunt three everywhere. My mother has the most dowry and earns a lot of money for her family every year, but Aheng can't even eat enough, and we are scolded for working every day. People must be self-reliant so that they will not be bullied."
