Chapter 22 The separation is in progress
Old Woman Mu: "As I said, they will be divided into six acres. If they do not accept their filial piety in the future, we don't have to worry about them. They will save them from being stuck and drag everyone down."
Everyone agreed with Mr. Mu's words. Although he still couldn't bear to leave these places, there was nothing he could do. Who said that his reputation as studying at home should not be stained!
"In addition, except for the two acres of paddy fields, you two have equal distributions of other lands. From now on, each of you will give me 20 kilograms of grain every month, and each of you will give me 300 cents a year. If you get sick, you two will pay half of the expenses."
"Mom, this is unreasonable!" Fan said, "Why don't you just divide it?"
Mrs. Deng: "Mom, we will not miss the filial piety we should give, but you have left two acres of paddy fields. Why do you still want us to respect so much food every month? You may not want to give the paddy fields to your sister-in-law as a dowry!"
"Mom, that's not possible!" Mu Qingfeng, who had not spoken, also spoke at this moment.
Mu Qingnian was even more excited: "Mom, I won't agree! Chunfang is a girl, why should she use paddy fields as a dowry? You can't be so partial!"
"That's it! It doesn't mean it's a waste of water. Is it cheaper for He family?" Fan also firmly disagreed.
"My surname is also Mu. If you want to give it to me, do you care? I will definitely be filial to my mother in the future!" Mu Chunfang said excitedly.
"I, Xiaofang, is the most sensible!" Old Woman Mu was very relieved.
"That's not OK!" Mu Qingnian, "Mom, go to the village to see who my daughter gave her dowry to Tiandi, I won't agree!"
"Who said Tian was giving Xiaofang a dowry!"
As soon as Old Woman Mu said this, Mu Chunfang was stunned! The gap in her heart was very big! She was so angry that she shook her hand and went back to the room.
Old Woman Mu glanced at the angry and shook her hands, thinking about coaxing her later, and now solve the problem of separation first. She said: "Shuitian will not dowry Xiaofang, don't worry."
"That mom, you..."
"Of course I'm in my own hands. If you are unfilial, I have a guarantee!"
"Mom, look at what you said? I don't know others. Anyway, our third wife must be filial to you." Fan immediately made a statement.
Deng: "Sister-in-law, what does this mean? Could it be that my second brother and I are unfilial? Don't worry, how much my third brother gives me, my second brother and I will definitely not be less than what they give me. If you want to keep the paddy fields, please keep them. We have no objection." Anyway, the old woman loves her son and her grandson Mu Xiong, and even if there is anything, she will definitely post them to Mu Xiong. Then, let Mu Xiong go and ask for more.
After Deng said this, Old Woman Mu was finally satisfied. Mu Qingnian said: "We have no objection."
In fact, what Mu Qingnian thought was: Anyway, my mother loves me the most, and she cries more and more poorly in the future, so what is not mine?
The two houses each have their own plans. Generally speaking, everyone reached a consensus on the separation of the family, and now it is the last step away.
When Mu Qingfeng came to call Mu Feng and Zhang Wei, they guessed that it was a matter of separation. After all, selfish people would not be willing to make people drag themselves down.
Not long after, Mu Qingnian invited the village chief and two other older people in the village, Uncle Mu and Uncle Mu.
"It's time. Call us here. You can't wait until tomorrow morning." The village chief asked.
There is no nightlife in this era, no electricity, I go to bed as soon as it gets dark, and it is now the end of the Youth hour, and everyone is ready to rest.
Old Woman Mu smiled and said, "The family is about to split up, so I asked the village chief and two old uncles to come over to testify."
"Split up the family?" The village chief and the two old men were shocked. "How could they suddenly remember to separate from each other?"
Old Woman Mu: "It's not that I suddenly remembered that I had this idea long ago. My grandsons are married. I'm old and it's time to split up."
The village chief looked at Mu Feng and felt regretful. He was all a thousand-year-old fox, and he could guess what old lady Mu had pressed.
"How do you divide it? Since you called us, we will definitely be impartial and we must ensure the fairness of the division of the family." The village chief said this, but he was actually on Mu Feng's side, so he was worried that the Mu family would suffer the loss in the division of property.
Old Woman Mu smiled and said, "That's natural. Xiaofeng is also my grandson, the eldest grandson of the Mu family, of course he can't treat him badly."
The village chief said again: "Does Old Man Mu know about this? Does he agree?"
"The old man has no objection. Although he is paralyzed, we are angry with him for such a big deal of separation. He has no objection."
"Okay! How do you divide it?"
"Six acres of sand land were distributed to Mu Feng's family, the second and third families were each two and a half acres of arid land, and five and a half acres of sand land, and there is no distinction between paddy fields now."
"I'm afraid it's inappropriate to share this!" Mu Feng said, "Why are the second and third uncles so many more than us?"
Old Woman Mu was afraid that Mu Feng would say something he shouldn't say, and said very gently: "Xiaofeng, don't be anxious. After listening to grandma, although there is a small amount of land for your family, you won't need you to do your grandfather and I to take care of you in the future. From now on, your second and third uncles will give us two old guys twenty kilograms of grain every month, each family will pay 300 cents a year."
Zhang Wei sarcastically said: "The yield per mu of grain is nearly 200 kilograms. With just one penny, we are 300 kilograms less than our second and third uncles a year, but each family only respects more than 200 kilograms of grain every year. You are good at making a plan."
Zhang Wei and Mu Feng looked down on such a thing at all, but they always felt that in their current status, Mu Feng and his sisters must do something, at least they should strive for the part they deserve. What's more, Mu Yun, Mu Yu and Mu Xue are so sensible and well-behaved, and the rest of the Mu family are so cold and careless.
Fan: "The accounts cannot be settled like this. If there is a famine or something, the grain output will not be so high! Besides, we have to be responsible for the elderly care and illness of the two elderly people."
Mu Feng: "Actually, I don't want to separate my family. It's normal for a family to live together. The upper lip will also touch the lower lip! The family should live together and support each other."
"Xiaofeng, this is reasonable. Only when the whole family supports each other can they be called a family!"
"That's right, Xiaofeng is worthy of being a scholar, he is wise!"
The two old men who came to witness highly affirmed Mu Feng's "heartfelt" words.
The village chief said: "Old Mrs. Mu, I think about your family division."
Zhang Wei immediately echoed: "I split up as soon as I entered the door. When it was rumored, people thought I was messing around inside! Grandma, let's not split up!"
