021 Separation
Chu Youde's uncle and nephew were busy from morning to afternoon, and received a total of six barrels of cassava pulp and four barrels of sweet potato pulp.
Over there, Sanlang bought a two-pound reed chicken for thirty-seven cents. The chicken was an old hen that could no longer lay eggs, so the owner was reluctant to sell it.
Ye Shi disliked the chicken being too old, but Chu Congrong said that it was just right, using old chicken to make soup is more nutritious. Chu Youxian had injured his internal organs and had difficulty eating noodles, so slow-cooked old chicken soup was a good tonic option.
The mother and daughter chose a deserted place, and Mrs. Ye slashed at the chicken's neck with her knife. Chu Congrong hurriedly stopped her, first found a bowl and filled it with some water, and then put in a few grains of salt.
The large blood vessel in the chicken's neck was gently scratched, and the chicken's blood suddenly spurted out. The old hen fluttered a few times and then stopped, not even squealing.
Chu Congrong looked at the chicken blood that had condensed into a ball in the bowl, and told Ms. Ye that this was a good thing. She asked her to put it in while the soup was being made, and try to let Chu Youxian eat it.
Mrs. Ye looked at the bowl of red chicken blood and felt somewhat panicked, but she secretly admired her daughter's understanding.
When Mrs. Ye took care of her daughter before, she specially set up a simple firewood stove in her room to make it easier to cook medicine and boil bones. This time, it was naturally used to make soup. Killing chickens and plucking their feathers could avoid people in other rooms, but
When the soup is simmered, the rich aroma of the chicken soup is irresistible.
Chu Baofeng had smelled the fragrance in the upper room, and she thought it was about to get hot, so she wanted to break in, but Sanlang stopped her at the door. She angrily cursed: "Sanlang, how could you learn to be so selfish! You three bedrooms are all the same
What a bad virtue: when you have good things, you close the door and eat alone! You have no filial piety at all, and you are still thinking about your father and mother!"
Sanlang was not good at words, so he just replied coldly: "This is to replenish my father's health!"
"What kind of supplement is needed? The doctor said that ginseng is useful, not chicken! You obviously want to keep it for yourself! If you don't hand over the chicken today, I will let the whole village know that you are disobedient and unfilial. I'll see what happens to you in the future."
Talk about my wife!"
Chu Baofeng had eaten her fill of fragrant chicken two days ago thanks to Chu Congrong, but this time she could not bear the temptation when she smelled the smell of chicken. In the past, she imitated Mrs. Du, drinking and scolding people in the third room.
I was used to it, and if there was something delicious, I would definitely grab it. So I squeezed Saburo regardless, and forced my way in.
Sanlang thought that she was an elder and didn't want too much physical contact, but remembering Chu Congrong's instructions, which were related to his father's life and death, he gritted his teeth and pushed her out cruelly. Although Chu Baofeng was of a higher generation, he was only a fourteener.
A five-year-old girl, Sanlang was already seventeen, and she used to work in the fields. She was very energetic. Chu Baofeng was pushed and staggered a little. After taking a few steps, she fell on her butt to the ground.
"Uuuu...Father, mother, and Saburo bully me!"
Chu Baofeng burst into tears.
It happened that Mr. Chu came back from outside. He had just sold the land and grain and was exhausted physically and mentally. Seeing that his little daughter had been wronged, he was so angry that he slapped Sanlang hard in the face. One side of Sanlang's face suddenly became swollen.
"You evil beast! How dare you beat your aunt? Do you still have any humanity? Kneel down and apologize to your aunt!"
Sanlang had always been afraid of the old man, so he covered his face and knelt down without thinking.
At this time, Mrs. Du rushed out of the upper room quickly, raised her legs and gave Sanlang a few kicks, and cursed: "Damn bitch, you know how to bully your elders just after returning home! Let me tell you, the Chu family can't be overturned today, it's my mother who is responsible for this
Home! A nest of white-eyed wolves, hiding something delicious and eating it, and feeding it to unfamiliar beasts! How could the family raise you so big and not eat and drink as much as you do! If you are so selfish, you will be struck by lightning sooner or later!
"
Chu Congrong and Chu Youde had just packed up the two kinds of syrup, and when they heard Mrs. Du scolding her, they knew that Sanlang had suffered a loss and rushed over.
She helped Sanlang up and said: "A good man has gold at his knees. Third brother, please don't kneel down randomly."
Just as Sanlang stood up, he was kicked to his knees by Mr. Chu.
Chu Congrong said coldly with a sullen face: "Master, do you want to beat your grandson to death?"
"I'll just beat him! Can't I teach my grandson a lesson? Damn you girl, it's not your turn to dictate to the Chu family!" Mr. Chu, who had been suppressed for a long time, suddenly exploded.
"Sir, scholars are talking about sensible principles, convincing people with virtue, and managing families with harmony! It's not impossible for you to teach Brother Sanlang a lesson, please come up with reasons and evidence, otherwise it will not be enough to convince everyone!" Chu Congrong was not afraid at all.
He faced Mr. Chu directly.
"Just because he offends his elders! It's not too much for me to beat him to death! If you dare to contradict me again, I will beat you too!" Mr. Chu was furious for a moment, his hands and feet were trembling with anger, and his body was shaking.
Chu Congrong was too lazy to pay attention, wishing that he would immediately suffer a stroke and fall to the ground. He said coldly: "It's reasonable, don't speak loudly, why did Sanlang collide with the elders?"
Before Mr. Chu could speak, Mrs. Du rushed to her and yelled: "No matter what the reason is, if you are a junior who dares to kill your elders, you should be struck by lightning and go to hell to be soaked in oil! Such evil deeds like this Chu
The family must not stay any longer, separate the family! Separate the family immediately! Get out of here, everyone!"
"Yes, Dad, how can we live under the same roof with such people anymore?"
"Dad, it's better for inhumane people to be separated as early as possible!"
"That damn girl had a knife a few days ago. How terrible!"
"She threatens her elders at every turn. I'm still panicking. It's so scary!"
"Maybe she really knows how to kill!"
…
Men and women from other rooms ran out and verbally and physically criticized Chu Congrong.
"Old man, for the safety of the whole family, we should separate the third room as soon as possible. As long as they are here, the whole family will not be able to live in peace for a day. They will not dare to stay any longer, and the family will be separated!" Mrs. Du changed her arrogance.
She has an unreasonable and domineering image, a generous and loving motherly image, and a heartbroken look.
Chu Youwen, Chu Youzhi, Chen, etc. all joined in, shifting the focus to Chu Congrong, and all of them reprimanded her righteously, creating a situation that was criticized by thousands of people.
Chu Youzhi was secretly happy. This was a plan they had discussed with Mrs. Du. First, Chu Baofeng would stir up trouble, and then Mrs. Du would take the lead in forcing the old man to separate the family.
Chu Congrong sneered in her heart beside her, thinking that these people could wait for three to five days, but unexpectedly they couldn't even wait for one day. It seemed that they were overestimated.
As soon as Mrs. Ye and the twins heard about the separation, they thought of Chu Congrong's instructions and immediately ran to Mr. Chu and knelt down, crying that they did not want to separate the family.
Ms. Ye cried the loudest: "Dad, please don't separate the family! We really can't live if the family is separated. The father can't move the child and has no money for medical treatment and medicine! How many children are there?"
Small, Wuya is weak..."
Mrs. Du sneered secretly beside her, it's too late to give in now! I can only blame that dead girl for being stupid and seeking death. If the family is not separated, it will be over if the prodigal son comes to collect debts! Three hundred taels, even if all the Chu family's belongings are taken away
Even selling out is not enough to compensate!
Mr. Chu pursed his lips, and just about to say out loud that the family must never be separated, Chu Youzhi desperately pulled him into the house, where the father and son started discussing.
After a while, Mr. Chu walked out first and said expressionlessly: "Sanlang, get up and go and invite the Eighteenth Duke. While your uncles are all at home, we can divide this family into parts so that everyone can live together."
Feel comfortable."
Sanlang didn't argue or make any fuss, he got up and ran out.
"The children have dispersed, you guys come in with me!" Mr. Chu said and walked up to the house with his hands behind his back, his voice was a little low and his mood was not very high.
Soon the patriarch, Mr. Shiba, was invited, and behind him was Village Chief Li. Mr. Chu had no intention of alarming the village chief, but Sanlang remembered his sister's instructions and came directly to invite people.
"Village Chief, Uncle Eighteen, I invited you two here today because I want you to help preside over the separation of my Chu family." Mr. Chu took a deep breath and said slowly.
The Eighteenth Gong was surprised and said: "Sixth, you are literate and have always been good at running the family. You are not very old. None of your grandchildren are married. Why did you suddenly start a family separation?"
Mr. Chu sighed: "I'm not afraid that Uncle Eighteen will laugh. Because there have been a lot of troubles at home recently, the children are all noisy. Although Daning is very particular about not separating the parents when they are together, this time it was Chu who took the initiative to separate.
Yes, no wonder the children."
Village Chief Li asked with an unhappy expression: "Chu Laoliu, what are you going to do?"
"This time I want to separate the third room, Youxian's family, to live alone, while the other rooms will be shared with us and my wife."
When Village Chief Li heard this, he sneered: "Haha, Chu Laoliu really has you! I was trying to figure this out on the road, and I guessed it right. Is Youxian injured, and you are reluctant to spend money to give him medicine? See you.
He's paralyzed and can't do work, so he immediately wants to get rid of the burden? Youxian has been a good kid since he was a child, why did he end up with you as his father!"
When Chu Congrong heard this, it was interesting. Wouldn't the two of them deal with it?
"The village chief was joking. We didn't deny Youxian medical treatment. We made specific arrangements. I didn't regard him as a burden either. There were other reasons for the separation, but it's just not enough to explain in detail to outsiders."
At this time, Chu Youde said: "Uncle Village Chief, since my father wants to divide, let's divide. Please divide me too. I will live with my third brother as a family."
Mr. Chu was stunned, looked at Chu Youwen and the others, and saw that they all had an indifferent attitude, so he agreed to the fourth son's request.
"How do you want to divide the family? Let's talk about your plan first." Village Chief Li is too lazy to talk in circles. In Daning, if a son proposes to divide the family, it depends on whether the father agrees. But when the father decides to divide the family, he does not need to ask for his son's opinion and divides the family directly.
that is.
The incident happened so suddenly that Mr. Chu had no preparation at all. He looked at Mrs. Du. Mrs. Du wanted to speak, but she thought that with the village head and clan leader there, there was no room for a woman to speak, so she winked at the boss Chu Youwen and signaled.
He said it.
"My family has two houses. We currently live in this new house with 20 rooms. There are ten old houses in the west of the village. The family plans to own the old house and house land to the third and fourth sons. The land is 26 acres, including 18 acres of paddy fields and dry land.
Eight acres. The family plans to give the third and fourth children three acres of paddy field and one acre of dry land. Although the summer grain in the fields has not been harvested yet, it has been sold and there is no need to divide it. The family’s cash has been used up, so there is no question of whether to divide it or not.
There was still some food available, and they were given 300 jins of coarse grains and 100 jins of sweet potatoes. The seven members of the family would eat less and that would be three months' rations. There were nine chickens in size. Three of them were hacked to death by the third room in the past two days. The family was also interested.
No need to divide them. The two pigs are still small. After the water for raising them is sold, some of them will be divided appropriately. As for the pots, bowls and pans, just divide them randomly to ensure that they have enough." Chu Youwen, mother and son will discuss it one by one in advance.
Come on.
"Uncle Eighteen, do you hear anything? An old house with a rotten roof, four acres of land, and four hundred kilograms of coarse grains is gone. This is not a family separation. The relationship between the two brothers is
I’m sweeping out the door.”
