Xu Zheng raised his head from the book and glanced at his eldest sister lightly: "What happened?"

Xu Xiu choked for a moment. She didn't expect that the quarrel in the family was so serious and that her brother didn't know anything about it: "The second brother-in-law wanted to separate from us, but my grandfather didn't allow it, but my father and mother seemed to have made up their minds and even asked someone to invite my aunt.

Grandma came to bear witness!”

Xu Zheng frowned: "Okay, how did this start? If it was just a little quarrel, how could it have reached this point?"

Xu Xiu smiled bitterly, who didn't know that it was just a squabble? Not to mention the past year of keeping filial piety, even when the family was in good times, there were no quarrels between the eldest brother and the second wife, but in most cases,

Grandma Mrs. Xu took the initiative and suppressed it, and the second room never resisted. Who would have thought that these quarrels would actually develop to the point of dividing the family?

She gave Xu Zheng a brief explanation of what had happened at home these two days, and sighed: "In the final analysis, it was actually caused by my mother protecting my brother, and my second aunt protecting my brother. It's just that

Because the mother was confused for a moment, she calculated that Brother Rong failed to participate in the childbirth examination, and the second aunt began to hold a grudge. Even if her great-aunt came forward to make peace, it seemed that she was over it, but the resentment in her heart was not gone. She had to find someone.

reason

I vented it out. And my mother felt that the second aunt was mean when gossiping about you and refused to give in. The two parties had a fierce quarrel. When the second aunt said that they would separate the family, my mother did not object. However, the Xu family has not mentioned it for so many years.

The family needs to be divided. If it is really divided, then this family will really be broken up! It is difficult to support a single tree, and my grandfather is in this situation now... If even the second bedroom is divided, how can our family survive? "

The key point is that dividing a family is not just about letting the second room move out. The second room must also have a share of the family's property. The second room has a small population, and the farm shop where Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xu are married have a lot of output, which can support the second room.

It’s more than enough, and the extra money can supplement the family income. Without this part of money and food, can the long house afford it?

The rainstorm that just passed caused great damage to Mr. Xu's farm, his eldest wife Mrs. Xu, and Mrs. Xu's dowry farm. This year's autumn harvest will probably cost nearly half of her income. Subtracting the subsidy for the second house, the father-in-law will

The Bank of China will definitely tighten money. Even if there are still

Some savings, the eldest son of the family has to hold a wedding after the filial piety is born. He and his sister have reached the age of getting married, so the dowry cannot be too simple. And when my brother Xu Zheng becomes a Jinshi, he still has to spend money to select officials.

Management... there is money everywhere.

Xu Rong, who still has a second wife, is about to get married to the Marquis of Cheng'en. In the past, the Qin family almost fell out with the Xu family because of the marriage of his brother Xu Zheng. Now, with great difficulty, Xu Rong's marriage has given them hope of restoration.

.if the family is separated

, this family is far away from the eldest family. It is hard to say whether the children and grandchildren of the Qin family’s aunt are still willing to get close to the Xu family. If the eldest family cannot borrow the help of the Qin family in the future, brother Xu Zheng’s

What to do about the future?

Even if Xu Xiu doesn't expect her two sisters to rely on the Qin family and get a good relationship, she still has to worry about her brother's future. Her sister-in-law's natal family is no longer able to provide help to her brother. On the contrary, she may drag her brother into helping him, and if he loses money again,

Without the support of the Qin family, my brother doesn’t know how difficult it will be in the future! Even if my aunt can help, she is old, how many years can she help the Xu family?

The more Xu Xiu thought about it, the more worried she became. She hoped that her brother Xu Zheng could come forward to persuade her parents to give up the idea of ​​separating the family. Even if there are constant conflicts and quarrels between the two families, as long as they tolerate each other, there is still hope for reconciliation.

Yes, even if it’s just to maintain the superficial harmony. Even if the second bedroom can’t provide much help to the elder, it won’t make the elder’s situation worse at least!

However, Xu Zheng just frowned and said: "How can I persuade this kind of thing? My grandfather is still here. Since he doesn't agree with it, this separation of the family must be just a fuss and it can't really be separated.

Besides, my great-aunt is coming again, and she will never agree to the separation of the family. Sister, don’t worry."

Xu Xiu sighed: "Even if my grandfather and aunt stopped the separation of the two families, the conflict between my mother, my second uncle and my second aunt was still there, and they refused to give in to each other. The two families were incomprehensible and would eventually separate. This time they stopped it.

, what will we do if we make trouble again next time? Actually..." She paused and said with some difficulty, "Second Aunt sometimes speaks a little harshly, but her words can't hurt anyone, let alone bother my brother.

My future is just a matter of talking fast. Being in contact with her will only make me angrier, which is meaningless. If my mother can hold back her anger, it would be fine if she just ignores her. The reason why my mother holds grudges is because

It's because the second aunt's words involve my brother that I am particularly intolerable. My brother might as well persuade his mother not to care. You don't care about what the second aunt says. If you don't care what she says, it's impossible for your brother.

If she is not as good as you, what is there to be angry about, mother?"

Xu Zheng said: "But mother is venting her anger on me after all. If you ask me to say such things to her... wouldn't it be a slap in her face? I'm afraid mother will be even more angry."

Xu Xiu hurriedly said: "Brother, just go and persuade your mother in private. My father also said that if Brother Rong can really get the honors, even if he is just a scholar, he can help you in the future and become your helper. If it is true,

The families were divided..."

Xu Zheng shook his head and interrupted his sister: "Do I still expect Brother Rong to do anything? If he can really get the honors, it will naturally be his good fortune. He will find his own future and work with me.

What's the matter? As long as I do my best, that's enough. Whether Brother Rong is willing to help me or not, it doesn't make any difference to me."

Xu Xiu was dumbfounded. She actually felt that Xu Rong still had some talent in reading. Although he was far behind Xu Zheng, a scholar could still pass the exam. If he worked harder, it would not be without hope for him to be elected in ten or eight years.

It is very hard for Xu Zheng to support the lintel alone. It would be easier to have a brother who can share the burden. But listening to Xu Zheng's tone, it is obvious that he has been outstanding for too many years and never thought that there would be brothers who could share the burden for him.

.

Xu Zheng said to his sister again: "I know that the eldest sister is worried about the future of the Xu family and does not want the two families to separate. However, the elders of the two families have their own considerations for such a major matter. If it is the grandfather and father, the mother decides

If the family cannot be separated, this family cannot be separated. Naturally, there is no need for me, a junior, to say anything. If my grandfather, father, or mother decide to separate the family, as a junior, what else can I do besides supporting the elders’ decision? Is it possible?

Just because I can have a brother to help me in the future, why should I disobey my parents? There is absolutely no reason for that. I just need to study well and be able to reach high school in the next exam and shine brightly, so that I will not let down my elders.

The expectations for me. As for whether we separate or not... to me, it's all the same."

After the family was divided, it seemed that the burden on him was lighter because he no longer needed to think about his second brother.

Xu Xiu was stunned after hearing this, and was stunned for a moment. He wanted to say something more, but Xu Zheng had already waved his hand: "Eldest sister, there is no need to say anything. How can we, the younger generation, have any room to speak about such a big matter? We only need to follow the arrangements of our elders.

That's good. Besides, although you are wholeheartedly doing it for the Xu family, your second wife is not interested in it.

Family, even if you and I can convince our parents, what's the use? The second wife's heart has been alienated from our eldest brother. If he stays here forcefully, he will not contribute to the eldest brother's sake. On the contrary, things will continue to happen every day and the whole family will be noisy.

No matter how big or small there is, there will be no peace. If we separate our families earlier, we can live a more peaceful life together."

Xu Zheng didn't take Xu Rong's marriage too seriously. Qin Shutao was just the second roommate in Chengenhou Mansion, not the head of the family. Moreover, even without the help of his in-laws, he himself had enough confidence to support his family.

From the moment he entered into the Lu family marriage, he knew

He lost the help of the Qin family. His grandmother had a life-long destiny, and he could only follow it. He must be on his grandmother's side with his aunt. Since his grandmother believed that this was the right way, he could only move forward hard.

, instead of dreaming that you can always get help from the Qin family.

Xu Zheng stopped talking to his sister and picked up the book to review again. Xu Xiu stood in front of his desk for a long time. Seeing that he was concentrating on himself and treating himself as if he was nothing, he could only turn around and leave.

She didn't expect that her brother would have such a cold attitude. It can't be said that it was wrong to concentrate on preparing for the exam. The Xu family also needs Xu Zheng to make a difference and revive the family. But... when people's hearts are broken, they can no longer be united. More

Can the Xu family be revitalized by acquiring a young talent? It’s not like the Xu family has no officials! What does one more official mean?

The education Xu Xiu received at home since she was a child was to let her think about the Xu family wholeheartedly, and never forget her roots even if she got married. But she thought about the Xu family wholeheartedly, while the rest of the Xu family acted on their own for their own benefit.

Even his brother Xu Zheng, who is regarded as the hope of the family,

, she just immersed herself in studying and was indifferent to important matters such as family separation. As a girl, even if she always thinks about the family, what's the use? My great-aunt is thinking about the Xu family wholeheartedly, and now even her own children and grandchildren have separated from her.

, does it bring any benefits to the Xu family?

On the contrary! Because of my great-aunt's sincerity towards the Xu family, Qin's family almost hates Xu's family!

Xu Xiu had suspected that the second wife's quarrel about splitting up the family had something to do with the Qin parents' room. She knew that Xu Rong had gone out to meet Qin Jian two days ago, and not long after the meeting, Mrs. Xu suddenly quarreled with Mrs. Xu.

Got up. Originally

It was just a small quarrel, but it developed to the point of dividing the family... Did Qin Jian hold a grudge against the Xu family's room for the sake of the marriage, and used the marriage as a bait to deliberately stir up trouble? If so, how much would the Xu family's second room get from marrying the Qin family?

Benefit?

Xu Xiu smiled to himself, feeling that he seemed a little stupid. What did she want to do so much? Her great-aunt was not a good role model. Did she really want to imitate her and think about being the head of the Xu and Qin families every day?

?

That's all, that's all. Even her brother said that she just needs to be herself. Then... she just needs to be herself. The Xu family... has elders and brothers here, so there is no need for her as a junior.

worry?

Xu Xiu staggered back to his room, his face was pale, he fell down on the bed, covered his head with gauze, and no longer paid attention to the noise of the outside world.
