Chapter 25: Aunt Lu is Mighty
Today's Xiaohe Village is extremely lively, but the Tang family's old house alone is so lively that it attracts most of the people in the village, and there may be more than one. It can be seen from a distance that it is full of people.
Tang Dahai and his wife had been kneeling for a while, but they still knelt there upright.
"I said, aunt, is this your son? I've scolded him and knelt down, what else do you want?" Some villagers were angry and shouted towards the main room.
"They are all our children and grandchildren. It is better for us old people to do less of the things that can ruin a person's life."
Someone started talking, and there were more people talking. Tang Yougen was so anxious that he was getting angry. If he had known, he would have stopped the old woman earlier. Tang Yougen just thought that the second son was too ignorant, so he scolded the old woman a few times, thinking about it.
He didn't stop him. Tang Yougen listened to the scolding outside the yard and thought that the old lady had indeed passed, otherwise the extra land given today would not be able to save the face of the old Tang family. Tang Yougen thought about it, and then he spoke.
After stopping Jiang's yelling, he looked back and saw Li Zheng and his second uncle sitting in front of him with a gloomy look on his face. Tang Yougen felt that he had passed the test.
"You heartless person, you want me to speak up for you. Yes, if you can, you don't want anything. If you don't take an acre of my land or a chicken, you won't enter my house in the future, and you won't be able to celebrate the New Year. You can do it, I
Just admit that you are old and confused." Jiang was able to act freely.
Tang Dahai glanced at Mr. Lu and the four children, and there was another heavy kowtow sound, "My son is unfilial, so I beg my mother to help him."
"Huh, good job Tang Dahai! You are so filial! I will treat you as my son, but I promised you that I can't miss five hundred cents a year, starting from this year." Jiang even scolded him, and got two acres back.
Land, even if it is just low-class land, five hundred cents is a lot. One less son is not much, but one more is not much. For the Jiang family, the loss of this second son is just one less object to scold. In exchange for two acres
Land, five hundred cents per year, and less people to scold, Jiang felt it was still a good deal.
Jiang choked Tang Dahai and did not forget to mention the conditions. People can't help but feel that this old lady Tang is getting smarter the more she scolds her. But Tang Yougen remained silent. He did not accuse Jiang of going too far. Others
It was hard to say anything, after all, family separation was a family matter, and they were just here to witness it.
Aunt Lu couldn't stand it anymore, but she was stopped by Mrs. Fang. Even if she wanted to protect her, it was not her turn as an old woman to intervene in the family separation. It was just the first time that Mrs. Fang felt that this son-in-law
It's not as bad as I remembered, it's a bit pleasing to the eye.
"Mom and Dad, I don't want anything. I just ask my mother to help me speak out. We have hands and feet, and there is no life that we can't survive. I think they won't blame me if they have four children. Even if they blame me when they are older, I will admit it.
"Tang Dahai said firmly.
"Okay, great! Trouble is helping me set up a document. My second uncle and several clan members will be witnesses." Mr. Jiang stood upright at the door of the hall, facing the yard, and said bitterly, "I, Mr. Tang Jiang,
What I said today about Tang Dahai’s “Ken Mu” being full of temporary energy is nonsense and there is no evidence whatsoever.”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a discussion outside the courtyard.
"It's rare for this old lady from the Tang family to say that she made a mistake. I don't know what happened. Could it be that she knows she was wrong?"
"It doesn't look like it to me. It's been so many years, and I don't look like someone who would admit his mistakes. It seems to me that Uncle Tang said a few words, or was it a sign from Uncle Tang?" After all, it was far away outside the yard.
Yuan, for a while I didn’t know what was going on. I couldn’t understand why Mrs. Tang suddenly changed her gender.
"Hey, Auntie, I know this." A young man was lying on the courtyard wall, listening to other people's questions, jumped off the courtyard wall, took a few steps closer, and said gossiping, "This Tang Dahai doesn't want a penny, not even the previous share."
The two acres of low-grade paddy fields were taken back, so Mrs. Tang was relieved. By the way, the five hundred cash per year is also indispensable."
"I think so. If I want Mrs. Tang to admit that she is talking nonsense, there must be a price." Many people are already accustomed to Mrs. Tang. If one day she suddenly gets better, no one will believe it.
.
"Hey, Auntie, you said that Tang Dahai has lost money. Before, it only had two acres of thin farmland. Now that Uncle Tang has done this, there is no official division of the family. In the end, he didn't even make a fortune, and he still has to pay for it every year.
You posted so much money. Do you think Uncle Tang did it on purpose? It looks good on face, but in reality it’s hard for people to take it away.” The gossiping young man had a look of contempt on his face.
"Doesn't Tang Yougen have anything to say? Since when did his family let this woman make the decision? They are all his own sons. Does Tang Yougen want to pick a fight?" A middle-aged man disapproved of Tang Yougen's behavior. This family's son
How can it be better to be controlled by such a woman?
"Who knows, Uncle Tang is very shrewd. Who knows what he thinks. If we had someone as shrewd as him, we might have a better life than the old Tang family." Naked sarcasm, Tang Yougen was stealing the chicken but not losing it.
M. If Tang Yougen knew what others thought, he would be so regretful that his intestines would be green.
There was a lot of discussion outside the courtyard, talking about old Tang family gossip without any concealment. In the main room, Li Zheng had already prepared the documents. The clan leader Tang Ershu and several clan members had signed, and Tang Yougen and Tang Dahai had also pressed their fingerprints.
"You and your family should not appear in front of me in the future. I will die quickly if I look at you. I still want to live for a few more years. The five hundred coins every year must not be less. Before the Chinese New Year, I will ask someone to pick it up. This year
Prepare it for me as soon as possible. If you don't have food to eat, don't ask for help from my house. From this moment on, I have nothing to do with your unlucky family." Old Mrs. Tang ended this formal meeting with her angry words.
They separated. After seeing that the paperwork had been completed, the people in the house left the house and went home without saying hello.
Tang Yougen kept the meal, and Li Zheng waved his hand and said, "I still have things to do at home, another day, another day." Li Zheng really felt that he couldn't afford to eat, no matter how good the food and wine were, and besides, he hadn't even started cooking yet.
After getting up, I couldn't eat until it got dark, and I was full just sitting and drinking water. Tang Yougen was really unreliable in his work. Alas, the whole family was in trouble!
Tang Yougen sent Li Zheng and others out, and the villagers outside the courtyard also dispersed in twos and threes. It was always unsightly to block other people's courtyards, but under the big locust tree at the head of the village, gradually more and more people began to gather.
"In-laws, that one made you laugh. Let's stay for a meal..." Tang Yougen said to Old Mrs. Fang awkwardly. After all, Tang Yougen still couldn't calm down in front of his wife's family.
"Uncle, everyone has left, but we still have food to eat?" Aunt Lu really couldn't stand it anymore. She had already divided her family, and she had been frustrated for a whole day, whether she had just said a few words or had sex.
"Why are you staying here when you know there's no food!" Mr. Jiang glared.
"Auntie, of course I want to make a living while I'm here. Don't you know this? I'm a junior, so I don't have any embarrassment in saying it directly. Auntie, my mother and I have not known each other for so many years.
I've been here, it's nothing to have a meal. Right, uncle?" Aunt Lu was angry with Jiang, but asked Tang Yougen if he had anything to eat.
"My family hasn't started cooking yet, so how can we have food for you? Besides, there are so many people and they are going to be poor." Jiang can't stand others taking advantage of her family.
"Auntie, it's okay. We have been waiting for so long. We are full of water. By the time you finish cooking, I am just hungry. Auntie, you are welcome. I can wait. Everyone in the village knows that you, Old Tang
My in-laws are here and I won’t have dinner at your house. It would be bad if I poke the bridge of your nose without knowing it. Anyway, it’s okay. Just cook a few less dishes, but there must be some meat. If there is no meat, I
If you can't eat, you'll get hungry easily, and then you'll be really embarrassed to talk nonsense. I feel too embarrassed to see my uncle and auntie." Aunt Lu looked embarrassed. "But if you don't have pork, chicken is fine too.
Yes, there are so many chickens in the yard, just get a smaller one, no need to be too polite."
Mrs. Jiang really felt that there was no way to be reasonable. The eldest sister of the second daughter-in-law was not reasonable at all. No matter how good or bad she was, she would not listen to her. She kept talking to herself. Mrs. Jiang really wanted to reason with her. Her family was really
There is no pork in the chicken. How can I buy meat on weekdays? Except for one rooster, the other chickens are hens that lay eggs. If you eat it, you don’t know how many eggs are missing.
"My family really doesn't have pork. The chickens are reserved for laying eggs. How about changing the day? I won't leave any food today. There really is no food." Jiang said with rare kind words and wanted to persuade him to leave quickly.
Seeing Aunt Lu staring at her chickens, her eyes were shining with fear, and she felt uneasy until she left.
"Hey, aunt, what are you still doing here? Are you short of manpower? Indeed, there are so many people eating here, it's really too busy. Then let me help you, it's okay, you're welcome, we don't have that many people
"Auntie, let me help you kill the chicken. It seems you just said there is no pork. Chunlan, help aunt catch a chicken." Jiang hurriedly went to stop it, but the chicken couldn't be killed.
"Hey, aunt, is one enough? There are so many people. Let's catch two. Everyone still needs a piece." Aunt Lu said to herself. Jiang is an old lady after all, and her movements are not as fast as others. Chunlan listened.
Following her aunt's instructions, she didn't shirk at all and followed her around to catch chickens from the chicken coop.
"Oh, my egg-laying hens, damn it, keep the egg-laying chickens and you can eat them too." Jiang was heartbroken beyond measure. The hens at this size were already in their nests. Once it gets dark,
, chickens have poor eyesight, so they cannot be seen, so they can be caught by people, and they will not crow or run away, and they will be caught accurately. Tang Yougen looked at his aunt, looking completely unreasonable, and said to Fang.
"As for the in-laws, my family really hasn't cooked at this time, so I really won't stay here today. You guys stay at Dahai's house for a few more days, and come over for dinner another day. I'll ask the old lady to buy some meat and vegetables.
"
"Oh, I'm not afraid of your laughter. I haven't taught this eldest daughter well. I can't discipline her daughter who won't get married, so I don't want to hate my old woman and make you laugh. Then put this chicken back for you?"
Mrs. Fang spoke calmly, but she had no intention of scolding the eldest daughter.
"Mom, what are you talking about? Since we have captured them all, why would you let me back? You are a good man, aren't you?" Tang Yougen was driven to the shelves, and he deserved it.
Aunt Lu held a chicken in each hand and led a group of people toward the end of the village. Auntie, you are so powerful!
