41. Chapter 41

Want

Author: Linglongxiu

Only children feel that time has passed so long. Shu Ling walked around two or three times in front of her home and finally saw Mrs. Liu's grandparents returning.

Old Mrs. Liu returned to her home, Liu Niuniu waved to Shu Ling and hurried back home.

But she quickly ran out again, with an excited look on her face: "Ling'er, there is no one in my family. Grandma asked me to come out and read with you."

When the old lady of the Liu family came out of the yard, she saw two little girls drawing on the ground with branches. She was very satisfied in her heart.

She entered the courtyard gate of Shu's house, and it happened that Mrs. Yang had finished her work in the kitchen and was sitting in the courtyard wanting to take a rest.

When Yang saw the old lady of the Liu family, she was a little surprised: "You're coming back so soon?"

"People who meet every day will be fine if they sit down for a while."

After the old lady of the Liu family sat down, she reached out and wiped the sweat from her forehead: "There is less rain this year than in previous years."

"Yes, it only rained twice in spring, so the weather is a bit hotter."

The sound of the two children talking outside the yard came in, and the old lady of the Liu family whispered to Yang: "This child Liu Niuniu is actually very smart."

Yang agreed with what the old lady of the Liu family said. At such a young age, she knew how to stay close to the old lady of the Liu family. She was naturally a smart child who knew how to protect herself.

Liu Niuniu would pay attention to the movement in the yard from time to time. She approached the yard door, and Shu Ling looked at her curiously: "Do you want to go in?"

Liu Niuniu shook her head quickly: "I won't go. Grandma is talking to Grandma Shu."

Shu Ling pulled her to the side: "Let's sit by the courtyard wall so we don't have to bask in the sun."

Liu Niuniu followed Shu Ling's wishes, leaned against the courtyard wall, and whispered: "If my mother gives birth to a younger brother, my life will be even more difficult.

But I don’t want her to give birth to a younger sister. If she gives birth to a younger sister, she probably won’t like it.”

Shu Ling didn't understand Liu Niuniu's thoughts. After hearing what she said, she was very angry and said: "If she doesn't like it, then don't give birth. Your mother is not good, so don't imitate your mother."

"I don't want to learn from her. Sister Yun is right, you still need to learn skills. I want to learn skills from Sister Yun in the future. Do you think my mother will be good to me?"

Shu Ling nodded vigorously: "Yes, everyone likes capable people."

The voices of the two children gradually became louder, and the Yang family and the old lady of the Liu family naturally heard them.

The old lady of the Liu family was very surprised and asked Yang: "What skills does Zhu Jiayun girl have?"

“I heard from the second child’s family that she is now more literate and can write a lot of words.

There has never been a bad person in the Zhu family. Although Girl Yun acts a little impulsively, her character should not be bad.

If the children are willing to learn well, we should not stop them."

"I won't stop you. I can see clearly now that there are so many children and grandchildren in the family, the eldest two are the most filial, and Liu Niuniu is really close to me.

If I live a few more years, her mother won't dare to molest her in front of me.

If I can wait until she is discussing marriage, I will try to find a suitable marriage for her."

How can a person who is used to taking care of things be idle and not care about things?

The old lady of the Liu family used to take care of all the big and small things at home. She worked the hardest all year round, and the children and grandchildren in the family disliked her for being meddlesome in everything.

Although she said she didn't care about the family affairs now, with Liu Niuniu letting her take care of it, she felt more hopeful.

Two days later, the Liu family was making a fuss about splitting up. The old man of the Shu family went to the old man of the Liu family and asked: "Your family has never been in trouble, why do you think of splitting up now?"

The old man of the Liu family shook his hand: "The old man in the family has stopped taking care of things since years ago. The people below him are not convinced when he takes care of things.

The boss and the elders don’t want to meddle too much in other people’s affairs, so let us follow the Zhu family’s example and separate the families on the inside, but not on the outside.”

"Can your family be separated like this? They all live together, can they be clearly separated?"

After listening to the old lady of the Shu family, the old man of the Liu family smiled bitterly and said: "The brothers and the sisters-in-law have all thought of dividing the family. This family must be divided.

The old man said that as long as Liu Niuniu stays with her, she has no objection to the family separation, and she wants to live with the boss anyway."

The old man of the Shu family understood. The old lady of the Liu family did not object to the separation of the family. Only the old man of the Liu family was unhappy, but he had no choice now.

Mrs. Yang had heard from the old lady of the Liu family about the family affairs. She felt that it would be a good idea to separate the family so that the eldest couple would not have to work hard in vain.

In the evening, the old man of the Shu family and the Yang family sighed: "The children of the old Liu family are not smart. Living together as a family is much more comfortable than living outside."

"They don't have much consideration for their mother. How can they know how to care for their brothers and sisters-in-law? It's not easy. Don't persuade people blindly, just let it go."

"Who am I to advise? Old Liu is not willing to split up the family, but he is the only one in the family who is not willing to split up."

Everyone in Shuangjing Town naturally has their own opinions on the separation of the Liu family.

When the old lady of the Liu family talked to people outside, she said that the tree had big branches and the children were older and had their own ideas. As long as they were filial, she didn't care.

Mr. Liu and his wife asked the old lady of the Liu family what she wanted to do, and they knew that she wanted to take Liu Niuniu with her. They also agreed. Anyway, it was just a matter of having an extra pair of chopsticks.

The old man of the Liu family was originally struggling with the matter, but after listening to the boss's arrangement, he finally agreed to the separation of the family.

The head of the village came over and presided over the family separation ceremony, and this time the Liu family was completely separated overtly and covertly.

Old Mrs. Liu said that if the Zhu family is in a situation like that, the family can be separated secretly, and there is no need to worry about the younger members of the family leaving the brothers for the sake of two or three pieces of silver after the elder generation is gone.

It would be better if the Liu family's current situation is clearly understood, so that she doesn't have to worry about what happens behind her.

The old man and his wife of the Liu family live in the eldest house, with a six-year-old girl accompanying them, and each house pays a certain amount of pension every year. Clothes for the four seasons and so on all depend on the filial piety of each family.

The eldest son of the Liu family was assigned the ancestral home, and the younger brothers could live at home temporarily until each family had enough money to buy a yard before moving out.

After the Liu family divided their families, Yang and her daughters-in-law said: "There will still be some commotion in their family.

In the future, they will understand that each of them has a small family, and naturally there are things they want to do, but with so many children in the family, there will be a lot of things that are unsatisfactory."

Sister-in-law Zhou Damei nodded in agreement. When we live together, we naturally need to understand each other. There are inconveniences, but there are also many conveniences.

Shu Ling was still not sure about the meaning of family separation. She heard Liu Niuniu say: "My parents arranged for me to fulfill my filial piety on their behalf. From now on, I will live with my grandmother."

Shu Ling didn't quite understand and said, "You have always been with Grandma Liu. How can you replace your parents' filial piety?"
