Chapter 17 Separation 3 (big chapter)(1/2)
Chapter 17 Family Separation 3 (Large Chapter)
In the square, Li Zheng looked at Mrs. Zhao and said angrily: "Mrs. Zhao, I know what you are planning, but when Mu Yatou came back just now, everyone had already made a fuss. When the time comes, she will go to court, no matter what.
No matter what Ren Yazi’s confession is, the policemen from the Yamen will come to our Zhupo Village for questioning."
The third uncle also guessed Zhao's plan, so he nodded and said: "Exactly. Can you guarantee that everyone in the village will speak to your old Yang family? If you don't speak to others, just say Zhou Dazhuang will not speak to you."
Zhou Dazhuang raised his head and crossed his chest and said, "That's right! I want to tell the truth!"
Li Zheng continued: "When the time comes, the county magistrate will not only beat you, he will also beat others' teeth."
Da Jinya's eyes widened and he said: "I will never lie if I go to court! It's this old lady who wants to sell her granddaughter! She even asked me to call two thugs, saying that the granddaughter is very strong."
Mrs. Zhao glared at the big golden tooth, her heart had been persuaded by several people, and she hesitated to look at her second daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Ding patted Mrs. Zhao's hand and said comfortingly: "Mother-in-law, don't be afraid, the county magistrate has no control over us selling our sons and daughters!"
Mrs. Ding felt that although it was embarrassing for the old Yang family to sell their granddaughters, during the famine years, if any family did not sell their sons and daughters, the court would not care about it.
Li Zheng saw how dishonest the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were and was so angry that she didn't know what to say.
The third uncle said to his son Yang Sanbo: "Go and call Yang Ershan back. Isn't he a scholar? Let him teach his confused grandmother and aunt the law of Dashun!"
There are not many scholars in the village, because the expenses are too high. If the men of Lao Yang's family were not working in the county, and the family was rich, they would not be able to pay for repairs.
Yang Sanbo hurriedly asked a few people with quick legs and feet in the village to go to the county town to call Yang Ershan.
Yang Ershan came back two hours later. The villagers had already returned home, brought food, and were squatting in the square, eating melons while eating.
Yang Ershan was wearing college clothes and was elegant, but his face was a little pale.
On the way, he heard the villagers tell him what happened. Such a shameful thing happened at home to affect his reputation in the academy!
And if the matter goes to court and there is a grandmother who is sent to exile, he will not have to take the exam!
Yang Ershan hurriedly explained the seriousness of the matter to the legal illiterates at home in detail.
Lao Yang's family didn't believe what others said, but they firmly believed what his own scholars said.
Only then did Lao Yang's family really panic.
Zhao has been punished so hard that she can't help it. How can this really be her fault? Does she really have to be beaten?
This great rule of law is so unreasonable!
Mrs. Ding complained: "It's true that my mother-in-law wants to sell someone but she still doesn't sell her cleanly!"
Lai also said: "What's the use of selling it clean? Even Mu Dalang can beat the drum and complain!"
Ding said: "Then the whole family should be sold!"
Li Zheng glanced at Mrs. Bao, who had a bad expression, and hurriedly stated his position, "What nonsense! No one can sell it! If you say this again, I can't protect you!"
The third uncle said with a sullen face: "No need to talk nonsense, let's separate the families! Give me more things for the big house!"
Zhao immediately said: "No! Why?"
Agreeing to separate the family was already a concession on her part, so why should she give things to her siblings?
That money-losing sister and brother should be beaten out with a stick!
The third uncle was fair: "Over the years, Dafang has been working as a horse for you, so you deserve more! Besides, you did something irrational, so even if you apologize, you should be more sincere!"
Naturally, Mrs. Ding was not willing to let Dafang get more points, and immediately jumped up and said: "We have raised Dafang for so many years, and we have done our best! Want to separate the family? Unless Dafang cleans himself and leaves the house!"
Lai immediately said forcefully: "That's right! You have eaten away at our family for so many years, and you haven't earned any money for your family. Why do you still want to divide the family property?"
Li Zhengdao: "Did you collect the pension after Yang Dong died in the battle? Did you eat the mountain goods sent from the bandits' den?"
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law choked and stopped talking.
The third uncle sighed, glanced at Old Mrs. Bao, and said, "I have made the decision on this matter. Then the Yang family's old house will be allocated to the big room. The rest depends on what Mu Yatou wants."
He looked at the Yang family who wanted to argue with a warning, and said: "Unless you are willing to go to court with Bo! By then, it will not only be these things! There will also be banishment and three hundred taels of silver!"
Mrs. Zhao gritted her teeth and stopped talking.
Ding and Lai thought about the three hundred taels of silver and fell silent.
Yang Nan clenched his fists and wanted to speak, but didn't know what to say.
The third uncle stared at Yang New Year's Eve and asked: "New Year's Eve, please stand up for me and say, can this be done?"
After Yang New Year's Eve heard his grandson talk about the consequences of going to court, he was already frightened. He nodded and whispered: "Listen to the patriarch!"
Mrs. Zhao rolled her eyes at him and punched him in anger.
…
Yang Mu was washing dishes in the backyard when he saw Zhou Dazhuang calling him.
"Meizi Mu, it's done! The old Yang family has agreed to split up!"
After hearing this, Yang Mu wiped his hands on his apron and took Yang Shitou, who was playing with the big black dog, to the front yard together.
The patriarch and others in the square have already arrived at the front yard of Lao Yang's house.
There was a table in the front yard, which was Yang Ershan's desk, and it was covered with paper.
The melon-eaters, carrying empty bowls after their meals, stood guard at the gate of Lao Yang's house, stretching their necks to watch the excitement.
Everyone watched as Yang Mu pulled Yang Shitou and walked out of the middle door.
Li Zheng squeezed out a smile and walked up a few steps: "Girl Mu, your grandparents agreed to split up the family. Your second uncle and third uncle happen to be here today, so let's strike while the iron is hot and sign the deed of splitting up the family."
In order to avoid long nights and many dreams, Li Zheng added in his heart.
Yang Mu bent down, picked up his younger brother, and whispered in Xiao Douding's ear: "Remember the appearance of these people. One day, they will change their faces."
Yang Shitou seemed to understand, and the eyes of the siblings swept over everyone one by one. Some were angry, some were disgusted, some were indifferent, and some were smirking...
Yang Mu walked to the deed and saw that the big house was allocated to the big house on the deed. It only mentioned the old house next door.
She pretended not to know how to read and asked, "What is written on this contract?"
Li Zheng smiled kindly and said: "The old house next door will be allocated to the big house. You can discuss the rest later."
Yang Mu nodded and asked, "Where are the house deeds and land deeds of the old house next door?"
Zhao's face darkened and she said, "Do you still want the house deed?"
Mrs. Zhao made a good calculation. As long as the deed of the house is in her hands, she can drive out the elder brother and sister at any time.
Yang Mu sneered: "Why, grandma won't give it? Then..."
Mrs. Zhao was annoyed when she saw that she had to go to court to argue her case again. She pointed at Yang Mu and cursed: "It's good if I let you live in the old house. How can you have the nerve to ask for the house deed? I will never give it to you."
you!"
Yang Mu shrugged indifferently and said, "Then go to court."
Li Zheng was so angry that he slammed the table, pointed at Mrs. Zhao and said, "Do you want to separate the family or not?"
Mrs. Zhao was choked, and remembering that she would be beaten in court, she rolled her eyes angrily and became silent.
Yang Mu sneered, knowing that Zhao was bargaining.
She would not give in to this old godly woman. She hugged her brother and said slowly: "The house deeds and land deeds of the old house belong to the big house. The two vegetable plots in front of and behind the house also belong to the big house. The pot.
I have a set of bowls and pans, a portion of rice, flour, oil and salt. I also want to take away everything from the big house in the backyard."
Li Zheng saw that Yang Mu was very organized, and couldn't help but secretly nod in his mind. This adopted daughter of a big family was a bit unusual.
The man in Mu Yatou actually understands the rules of Da Shun. He is not simple at all. Thanks to him today, he is on the side of Yang Mu.
Otherwise, I'm afraid you will regret it in the future.
Zhao's face became darker and darker as she listened to Yang Mu asking for various things.
The third uncle saw that Yang Mu was not as open-mouthed as a lion, so he nodded slightly and said, "What Mu Yatou wants is very reasonable."
Yang Mudao: "I haven't finished speaking yet. My father's military salary, twenty taels of silver per month, was sent home, as well as my father's pension, which totaled dozens of taels of silver. But
I haven’t seen a single piece of the big house. So, I want ten taels of silver for the division fee!”
"You're dreaming!" Ms. Zhao called.
"Shut up!" Third uncle scolded Mrs. Zhao angrily.
Li Zheng also said: "Although the big house has not made any money in recent years, Cao and Mu Yatou have been working as cattle and horses for your old Yang family, so they should also ask for some family separation fees."
Mrs. Zhao waved her hand and said, "I have no money!"
Mrs. Ding also said: "Where does the old Yang family have money? They have all been paid to Ershan, a third-bedroom boy!"
Yang Mu said, "It's okay if you don't have money. Just write an IOU and pay it off with interest within a year. If you don't pay back enough, then you'll have to go to court! The house will be sold and the land will be paid off naturally."
Except for Yang Ershan, all the men in the old Yang family work in the county town and receive at least two taels of silver a month, so the ten taels of silver are completely within reach.
Ding said angrily: "Yang Mu, don't go too far!"
Yang Mu said calmly: "This is my condition for dividing the family. If you don't agree, we will go to the county government office, and none of you will have an easy time!"
She looked at Li Zheng and the clan leader, and pointed out something: "When we get to the court, we should also talk about how the big family has been bullied over the years, and how my mother was forced to death without anyone making the decision.
