Chapter 2 The Hens That Don't Lay Still Carry Oil Bottles
A war in the Northern Zhou Dynasty more than ten years ago killed many people. After the new emperor ascended the throne, the court forbidden the people from being a widow, forbid men to beat their wives to death, etc.
Instead, the widow is encouraged to remarry and the widower is remarried.
It also advocates loyalty to the emperor and serving the country and filial piety.
Now even if a man and a woman are inseparable from each other, it is nothing more than being pointed and gossiped about by others behind their backs.
Although I heard that there were three wives and four concubines in the town, there were many monogamous people in this countryside. If a man was hooking up outside, a powerful wife could beat people with a stick, and the people who watched the fun would applaud.
There is also this family division. More than ten years ago, parents were not separated. Now there are more children, and there are conflicts in getting married and starting a business, and there are also early separations.
Old Man Yu has been thinking about the separation of the family for a while today.
The grandson of the old man wanted to take the exam for scholarship, and he also had to buy a house in the town. There were many places to use money, so he had to plan for them.
The second brother married that woman five years ago, and the mother and daughter were in bad health. The second brother listened to the woman's words and could not let his family property be defeated.
The third brother is also useless. He married a wife and gave birth to a daughter. He was unwilling to be together. He didn't know whether he could have children in this life.
Therefore, the division of the family must be divided according to one's own wishes.
As soon as he put down the chopsticks, Liu was used to handing him the prepared bamboo cigarette pole.
Old man Yu took a few sips of cigarettes silently, then looked at them and said, "I raised you. Now you can support yourself. I will split the family early for you so that you won't be motivated."
"We old couple follow the boss. This house will be left to the boss a hundred years later! You brothers find a foundation to build a house, and I will give you twenty taels of silver each of you."
"In addition, there are twenty-two acres of land and thirty-six acres of land at home. Then we will give you five acres of land and five acres of land each of you, and the other ones are me and the eldest."
He looked at his three sons, slapped the table with his hands, and said sternly: "But I am ugly in front of you. You are not allowed to sell the fields I give you to others, otherwise I will break your legs!"
The Yu family's house has been newly built for a few years. They are all blue brick and tile houses with good stone as foundations. There are five upper rooms on the north, and three wing rooms on the east and west. They live in the second and third families, and the gate, pigpen and wood floors on the south.
At the beginning, I spent nearly 200 taels of silver, which was the first in Yujia Village. Later, the people who built the houses all followed his family.
Yu Chengrong looked at Old Man Yu in disbelief: "Dad, I won't say anything about the land, but what's the twenty taels of silver enough? I don't agree with the separation of the family like this!"
Although he is honest and honest, he is not stupid. Over the years, he has been taking care of the fields by himself and his second brother, but his prosperity has been entered into the public middle school. He has to use money, and he has to hunt or go outside to work to have it.
Yu Chenggang also spoke with an embarrassing expression: "Yes, dad, the promising prospects in the field, and my mother and my wife and brothers and sisters raise pigs and chickens and ducks every year. There are 70 to 80 taels of taels of kilograms. Why can't you just give us brothers this little bit?
Yu Chenghui looked at the ugly faces of their brothers, felt proud and anxious, and gave a wink at his wife.
Jin Xiujuan quickly spoke: "You are so embarrassed to say that you don't think about how much money the women and children in your room spend every year? Besides, the family of Uncle Yu San's family was divided a few days ago, so that's only half of yours, and you are still insatiable."
Yu Chengrong stared at her dissatisfiedly: "Why do men talk? Besides, the money we have for both of us went out to do odd jobs."
Yu Chenggang also sighed: "I have no money in my hands these two times, so I'm...
Old man Yu looked at his two sons who were not satisfied with his arrangements and looked at them angrily: "Since you are not satisfied, then there is no separation!"
Yu Laosan glanced at his brother and felt that this little money was better than not to separate the family. He responded in a depressed manner: "Dad, we don't want to separate the family either."
Jin was anxious and was about to say something, but his man glared at him.
Boss Yu looked at them and sneered in his heart, but there was a gentle smile on his round face: "Dad, you are the head of the family. No matter what you want, our big house has no objection."
Old Man Yu compared his three sons and thought that the eldest was the most considerate. He drooped his eyes and looked at the younger ones and said, "It is natural that you can't separate your family. You two daughters-in-law will have a break for me!"
Ruan Hongdou's face changed. Unexpectedly, her father-in-law hated her so much, and subconsciously looked at her man.
Yu Laoer looked at his father in surprise: "Dad, my brother and sister-in-law and my wife came in. They not only cook, grow vegetables, feed pigs, but also go to the fields to work during the busy farming season. Why should I leave her?"
Old man Yu slapped the table and stared at him, "Is it not what they should do if you are against you? I have been in the Yu family for so many years, one is a hen who cannot lay eggs and a hen with a bottle of oil, and the other is a girl and a movie. If you can't give birth to a son, would it be that the third child will be killed?"
Although he was partial to the boss, he asked himself what he was talking about today for the sake of his two sons, why didn’t they understand their efforts?
Yu Lao Er put his hands under the table, clenched his fists tightly, and looked at his father with firm eyes and said, "Dad, I can't get along. We just want to separate the family, but in addition to the money and the fields, there are also cows, pigs, chickens and ducks in the family?"
Seeing that the third brother looked dissatisfied, Old Man Yu glared at them and said, "It would be nice to take away all the things in your room, and you have no share in them!"
Liu, who had been crying silently, could no longer hold back and pleaded in a low voice: "The head of the family, these beasts are raised by the second wife and the third wife with their children. How could you not give them some?"
Old Man Yu didn't expect that his wife, who had never dared to talk too much, dared to talk back at this time, pointed at her and sneered: "Why don't you know? Because the eldest mother is my wife, I bought you for money. Even if you don't give me anything, you have nothing to say!"
Liu was beaten and kicked by his father and brother since childhood. He was very cowardly and always compromised and swallowed his anger. Now, when he heard his words, he was so angry that he trembled all over and covered his face and cried.
Now the second brother and the third brother couldn't bear it anymore. The brothers looked at each other and the second brother said, "Dad, let's split up! My mother has been kind and tolerant enough for so many years. If you are not satisfied, I will live with us in the future!"
"Yes, I'm living with us in the future!" Yu Laosan's eyes were almost red, and he said hatefully: "Go and get the pen and ink, and write the document now!"
The people in the big room looked at them, even if they didn't smile on their faces, they were filled with joy.
Old Man Yu said something, and when he heard the old woman crying softly, he felt a little regretful, but the two brothers were aggressive and he couldn't get off the stage. He stretched out his feet and kicked the table and shouted: "Splitting the family, boss, write as I said."
