Zhang Hongliang then talked about what happened after the Zhang family sent Wu Qiaozhen up the mountain.

What his sons did this time made Zhang Daniu extremely heartbroken. On the night of the funeral, he took the initiative to separate the family.

He had no intention of spending time with any of his sons.

When Zhang Daniu proposed the plan to separate the family, his sons, including Zhang Hongliang, were all stunned.

Zhang Hongliang felt that the separation of the family would be a good thing for the current Zhang family, but as the eldest son, he could not let his father, who had just lost his wife, die alone, so he proposed to take Zhang Daniu to live with him in the capital.

Zhang Daniu refused flatly, and even looked at Zhang Hongliang with a bit of ridicule: "You are a grown man in his late thirties, and you still have no partner. When I go to your place, I have to bake cakes and wash the clothes for you. I will only follow you if there is something wrong with you."

You go to the capital!"

These words did not leave Zhang Hongliang any dignity. Although it was harsh in Zhang Hongliang's ears, he was unable to refute.

First of all, he is indeed almost thirty, and secondly, he has not even decided on a partner. Thirdly, when he gets busy, he has no time to take care of Zhang Daniu. Maybe he really needs Zhang Daniu to help him with cooking and washing.

Facing Zhang Daniu's ridicule, Zhang Hongliang was speechless and could only cast his eyes on his three younger brothers.

As a result, none of the younger brothers were responsible.

The eldest brother Zhang Hongyang rushed back to bury Wu Qiaozhen, but even now he is still numb.

He hurried home the night before the funeral, and was beaten and scolded by Zhang Hongxia when he came back.

Zhang Hongxia blamed him for only taking his wife to escape and have three children, without caring about the life or death of his mother.

Zhang Hongyang, who had been stunned since hearing the news of Wu Qiaozhen's death, knelt in front of Wu Qiaozhen's soul and allowed Zhang Hongxia to beat and scold her. In the end, Zhang Hongliang stopped Zhang Hongxia because he was making a noise.

Now Zhang Hongyang sat aside numbly, letting his two daughters hold his legs, his eyes vacant, like a puppet without a soul.

Zhang Hongliang could only shake his head. It would be easier to leave Zhang Daniu to such a person than to let him live alone.

Then turn your attention to Zhang Hongming and Zhang Hongwei.

The twins lowered their heads in unison when Zhang Hongliang glanced at them, and did not meet Zhang Hongliang's eyes.

It doesn't take Zhang Hongliang to know that these two younger brothers also have little responsibility.

Zhang Daniu had long seen through his sons. Although he resented Zhang Hongliang's determination over the years, he also felt indebted to Zhang Hongliang. At the same time, he also knew that Zhang Hongliang wanted to take him to the capital, but how could he go to the capital to drag Zhang Hongliang down?

..

Not to mention that Zhang Hongliang was not married yet, even if he was married, he would not want to go to the capital to live with Zhang Hongliang.

Life in the city is not as comfortable as in the country. Besides, he is already old. Who knows that one day he and Wu Qiaozhen will just leave like this? He doesn't want to die in a foreign country.

As several of the sons of the Zhang family got married and started businesses, the father-in-law actually didn't have much wealth anymore, so the division of the family this time was relatively simple, that is, dividing the house into one share, and then dividing the family's fields and grain into one share.

Even so, it took two full days to implement it, and the separation agreement was made in six copies.

Each of the four brothers had a share, Zhang Daniu had a share, and the remaining share was given to the Zhang clan for safekeeping.

Although the current clan system is very restrictive, it still has some effect in the countryside.

Zhang Hongliang gave all his share to Zhang Daniu, and gave Zhang Daniu another ten yuan as pocket money every month.

One hundred and twenty yuan per year is not much, but Zhang Daniu has four sons. If each son is as filial as Zhang Hongliang, Zhang Daniu's life will not be too difficult.

Of course, we can only live a decent life now. With wages and prices rising, this amount of money will definitely not be enough for retirement in ten years.

"The second brother each gives my dad three hundred kilograms of rice a year. Nine hundred kilograms a year is not enough for him to chew. Now I can only provide ten yuan a month as pocket money. I will get it when I graduate and get a job."

The salary must be increased appropriately. As for my father's medical expenses, he is responsible for minor illnesses and disasters, and hospitalization for serious illnesses is shared equally among the four brothers." Finally, Zhang Hongliang lowered his eyes slightly.

Eyes said.

Although there is only one elder left now, Zhang Daniu, and the Zhang family has four sons. Based on Zhang Hongliang's understanding of the following three younger brothers, he will most likely have to bear the expenses of Zhang Daniu's future illness and hospitalization.

Calculated in this way, his burden is not light, but Liu Xinyu does not have a similar burden.

Although Liu Xinyu has a grandma, it is no longer Liu Xinyu's burden. After all, when the Liu family split up, Liu Qingshan basically left the house with Liu Xinyu, leaving all the family property to Liu Qingsong.

It is clearly written in the family contract that Liu Qingsong will be solely responsible for the pension of Chen Zhaodi and Liu Houxing.

Of course, given Liu Xinyu's filial piety towards Chen Zhaodi and Liu Houxing, she would definitely work with Liu Qingsong to provide for the two elderly people, otherwise she would not have tried her best to persuade the Liu family to move to the capital.

The more he thought about this, the sadder Zhang Hongliang felt, and he couldn't help but feel slightly inferior to Wei Wei. Liu Xinyu was really too good, and Liu Xinyu was like the sun. Even if he worked hard to catch up and became a PhD student, he could still only be regarded as a glimmer of light.

Liu Xinyu didn't know what Zhang Hongliang was thinking. She just listened silently to Zhang Hongliang's narration of what happened to the Zhang family. She felt sad for Zhang Hongliang and at the same time a little bit happy.

Of the two mountains pressing on Zhang Hongliang's head, one has completely collapsed, and the other seems to be no longer a mountain. He should be able to live a more comfortable life in the future.

Zhang Hongliang glanced at Liu Xinyu sideways and saw that her face was still calm and there seemed to be an inexplicable light in her eyes. He was slightly startled, and then he felt relieved again.

Based on his understanding of Liu Xinyu, she should agree with the contract for the separation of the Zhang family.

Zhang Hongliang couldn't help but feel an inexplicable joy in his heart.

Only then did Zhang Hongliang realize that he and Liu Xinyu were the only two people left in the main room. Fang Qia and Liu Xinjian had disappeared at some point. Zhang Hongliang quickly stood up and said, "I have to discuss it with Fang Qia and see if we can move back one day."

More appropriate."

Liu Xinyu smiled slightly and said, "Brother Fang and Xin Xin went to your courtyard house. How about we go over and have a look together?"

"Sister, why are you here? We packed up right away. Brother Fang said he would come back and move after school tomorrow. I said there was no need to be in such a hurry. In fact, it doesn't matter if you continue to live with us. My dad and the others couldn't

I have to wait until the school holidays to come here." Seeing Liu Xinyu and Zhang Hongliang coming together, Liu Xinjian put down the rag in his hand and said a little unhappily.

He prefers liveliness, although Zhang Hongliang's courtyard house is only four numbers away from his. His place is No. 12 Nanjie Hutong, and Zhang Hongliang's place is No. 16 Nanjie Hutong. With such a small distance, it can be said that you can't look down when you look up.

Yes, but the feeling is different.

Liu Xinyu didn't answer Liu Xinjian's words. If she hadn't accompanied Liu Xinjian, she would have moved to the three-in courtyard in Beihu Hutong, thinking that everyone likes fun as much as he does!
