Chapter 31(3/4)
After all, Han Zhong couldn't catch the whole family and suppress them all the time.
But a person who can secretly kill a brother, who knows if he has secretly dug a hole for them?
After everyone decided that Li was a bad person, many people blamed him for all the bad things they had encountered in the past.
In the middle of the night, someone threw stones at Han Zhong's house and peed at the door.
Han Chang is a gentle person at best, but a bully at worst.
His father fell, and he could not assume the upright position. Without his backer, Han Chang immediately learned to behave with his tail between his legs.
He has lost his upright aura, there are only two men in the family, and his reputation is terrible. In this situation, who else can he argue with?
When the chickens in the village saw them arguing with others, they would come over and scold them!
Han Chang was already worried about how he would spend the next days. Unexpectedly, his younger brother, Uncle Han, stabbed him in the back and took away the family's money and ran away!
That’s a lot of money!
However, Han Chang did not realize the seriousness of the situation yet.
When he yelled for someone and checked with the villagers, he discovered that Uncle Han, this bitch, had been secretly making money for himself!
What he swept away was not more than two coins, but a full four coins!
They were all tricked out when he was doing errands for his family!
What evil did you do to end up with a brother like this?
On the side, Uncle Han's wife Zhong Qiu was wiping tears while holding her four-year-old son.
The dog man left no chance of survival for the two of them!
Repeated miscarriages made Zhong Qiu's body very weak. Despite his hard work, he was able to work in the fields and manage to produce enough food for two people to survive.
But she couldn’t afford the poll tax, field tax, and cloth tax that her natal family had to pay if she didn’t participate in the labor force!
The subordinate officials don't care whether you can pay the taxes or not. They always have a way to collect the taxes, either by seizing the land or demolishing the houses. How long can you survive in the face of those tigers and wolves?
Thinking about the future, Zhong Qiu hates Uncle Han to death!
I didn't stop you from finding a widow to have more children. Even if you have to live a hard life for a few years after the separation, I won't complain. But why are you pushing me to the end?
If Uncle Han could be caught now, Zhong Qiu could even eat his flesh alive!
Zheng Sang watched calmly in the courtyard for a while, and finally spoke amid Zhong Qiu's cries.
"I don't want to have anything to do with your family's troubles."
Han Chang remained motionless.
Uncle Han, a son of a bitch, had emptied all his family's money. He couldn't figure out how to live in the following days. Zheng Sang had such a big hatred against his father, who knew what she wanted to do when she came to visit?
Zhong Qiu, on the other hand, keenly grasped a glimmer of hope and raised his head to look at this aunt.
"Family scandals should not be made public. No matter how much quarrels there are in the village, that's all. Do we want to go to other villages and watch the joke about how Han Zhong murdered his brother?"
Zheng Sang’s attitude was extremely cold:
"Things between the elders have nothing to do with you juniors. I came here to..."
After explaining the arrangements Han Ying had made in advance to the two people in front of him, Zheng Sang waited for their reactions.
Han Chang was the first to react.
He wasn't good at it, but his father was upright, and his mind was always much faster than others under the impression of hearing and seeing. He didn't think of Han Ying's bigger ideas, and just understood it as usual.
How can a person whose whole family kills each other be the one to be upright?
It’s always about fame!
If it spreads to other villages, what will happen even if there is a hidden secret?
It will only make people think that this whole family sucks.
Ha, Zheng Sang, you still have time to beg me.
After the incompetent fantasy, Han Chang knew that he had no way to refuse.
Their family also needs a reputation!
With a father who killed his brother and harmed the entire village, it would be extremely difficult for him to marry a girl or a woman in the future. If he could hide it, it would be a tragedy caused by partiality...
"What about me and my son?!"
Zhong Qiu, who had thought clearly, wanted to get angry. Others had no problem, but Uncle Han was the one who had the problem, so the two of them would definitely be implicated!
Zheng Sang pondered for a moment and said:
"I asked someone to find you a young Gun husband with four or five children. Han Zhong's family has seventeen acres of land. I will give you ten acres of farmland near the river. I will give you five hundred yuan for your dowry and the family's pot.
How about you take the bowls and pans according to what each family can take?"
How about it?
What a big deal!
There is land, a man, money, and children, especially four or five children. The oldest one can already take care of the younger brothers and sisters. Zhong Qiu does not need to worry about it. She can just concentrate on taking care of her biological son. When the son is older, it is enough to farm ten acres of land.
You can pass it on to him, and you will have hope for the rest of your life.
Zhong Qiu was satisfied.
As for Uncle Han?
Go to hell!
But Chang Han was not happy.
He wants this arrangement at all!
That's ten acres of farmland, close to the river, watering is very easy, and the land is very fertile. It can produce half a stone's worth of grain a year!
It smells good when you hold it in your hand.
Han Chang cursed in his heart.
As a widow without a husband, if her natal brothers are not able to provide enough support and her husband's family cannot help, then she can only remarry. As an uncle, it is already considered very good for her to leave a stuttering child to her, but he will not survive.
It all depends on God's will.
But Zhong Qiu cannot give birth!
Not to mention the stepmother, the stepfather is not necessarily that good. A biological child is better than an unrelated one. Officials who complain against disobedience and unfilial piety will only turn to their biological parents! Zhong Qiu is such a child. In addition to counting on him, what else can he do?
Who to count on?
If Zheng Sang doesn't come over, it doesn't matter if Zhong Qiu attaches great importance to his son. A widow with poor health will not be able to survive for long even if she doesn't want to remarry.
In less than two years, my nephew will fall into his hands.
You can raise them as you like, and if you can't support them, you'll have to throw them away. If you can support them, just give them a few acres of thin farmland.
Who thought Zheng Sang would come!
Ten acres of farmland next to the river made Mr. Han feel heartbroken and bleeding.
After weighing the pros and cons, after hesitating for a while, Han Chang clenched his fists and made his decision.
He added sentence by sentence:
"My nephew cannot change his surname. When he grows up, he will have to come back. If it disappears along the way, my family will also take back this field!"
Neither Zheng Sang nor Zhong Qiu objected to this.
Convinced that she would have a future for the rest of her life, Zhong Qiu finally stopped crying. She shed tears, hugged her son and said:
"I'll go find Han Weng Zhongyu and the neighbors to bear witness."
With that said, she immediately got up and walked out.
With Zheng Sang here, people who didn't want to get involved in Han Chang's family's troubles also came over.
Nowadays, there is no paper and pen, so things can only be agreed verbally. It has become a very important matter for a respected person to make the decision, especially for such a big matter as a family separation. Soon, half the village came over.
After listening to Han Chang explain the arrangements, Han Weng glanced at Zheng Sang.
Only a fool would give away ten acres of good river farmland to others. Without Zheng Sang, Chang Han would never have been able to do this!
Han Weng sighed in his heart.
Zheng Sang is still kind and kind.
This time, the orphans and widows will not be forced to death.
The people watching also began to discuss in low voices.
Farmers speak loudly, no matter how low they are, Han Ying can hear them clearly.
"Zheng Lizheng is very kind."
"You've already done something like this, and yet you're here to help them..."
"Uncle Han is really nothing. With so much money, he actually got away with it!"
