"Hey, if you are like Huan'er and marry a wife, my mother will be even happier."
Mom, it’s good to have your younger siblings at home. You’ll be very busy waiting for my younger siblings’ children to be born.”
Mother Li glanced at Cheng Qiao's belly and her mood improved. For two days, Li Huan and Li Bing were repairing the house. Mother Li and Cheng Qiao were busy in the kitchen. Li Le also tried his best to find firewood.
Not too much.
Time passed quickly, and ten days passed in the blink of an eye. Dung Ball still couldn't wait to come to the door. Li Bing looked at Dung Ball with a sneer and said to Li Le: "Lele, go and ask the village chief to come over."
Li Le put on his newly made cotton jacket and trousers, a cotton hat, gloves and scarf and ran out. The aunt looked at Li Le's new clothes with greed in her eyes.
Li Bing saw the greed in Da Ya's eyes and sneered again and again. He wanted to use Miao Qing to gain his own ideas, so he would make them sober up.
Chen Weidang came quickly. Li Bing was a soldier, so he was naturally very polite to Li Bing. He ran in with a smile and handed Li Bing a cigarette in a familiar manner.
Li Huan rolled his eyes in disgust. He had given these cigarettes to him. It was almost three months old and he still had more than half of a pack of cigarettes. If he put them down anymore, they would taste bad.
"Thank you, village chief. I don't smoke. I'm here to tell you two things today. One is that my brother is married, so I want to separate from my mother and brother."
Everyone was stunned, why would you, an unmarried man, propose to separate your family?
Mother Li also became anxious. She didn't want the family to be torn apart. Moreover, Lele was not married yet, so it would not be a good idea to separate the family now.
"Village Chief, you separate me from the Li family. My brother and sister live with my mother. I will give my mother pension money every year until my mother dies."
Chen Weidang glanced at Dung Qiu and Daya, then at Cheng Qiao and the others, and instantly understood what Li Bing meant. If the families were not separated, Dung Qiu and the others would definitely use Miao Qing to come to Li's house to eat and drink.
"Okay, do you have paper and pen? I'll write the family separation documents."
"Li Bing, this doesn't work, I don't agree."
Da Ya was anxious. She took a fancy to the cotton-padded clothes on Li Le. What kind of new cotton-padded clothes could a loser wear?
When Miao Qing gets married, she wants to ask for it back so that she can wear it if she changes it.
If the family was separated, how could she reach out, so she stood up resolutely and firmly disagreed with the separation of Li Bing and Li's mother.
"Who do you think you are? If my family is to be divided, it will be your turn to point fingers."
Li Huan also understood what his elder brother meant, and glared at Da Ya angrily, as if if you dare to beep again, I will be rude, and successfully made Da Ya take a step back and shut his mouth.
The paperwork for the family separation was very simple. Li Bing said that he had been a soldier for so many years and had never made any contribution to the family, so he left the house alone without taking away any plants or trees in the house.
Shi Qiu finally understood Li Bing's plan, but now he was anxious about the three hundred yuan, because Li Huan's eyes were always looking at him with a sinister look, and he didn't know that that day, he came to bombard him with the earth and wood warehouse.
The family separation document was quickly completed, and Chen Weidang went to the village committee and stamped it with a red seal. From then on, the Li family became two families.
"Village chief, since Li Bing has separated his family, he has to apply for a piece of land to build a house. Otherwise, if the nest is built there, how can he lay eggs without a nest?"
Da Ya can only retreat to the next best thing to fight for benefits. As long as she builds a nest, she can still make some money, otherwise this girl will be at a huge loss in marriage.
"Li Bing, look..."
Of course Chen Weidang agreed. There was a lot of wasteland in the village. Granting two or three acres of land to Li Bing would be considered a good relationship.
Li Bing shook his head: "Village Chief, I will return to the army in a few days, so there is no need to apply for land in the village. If Miao Qing is willing to come with me, then she can. If not, just stay with her parents."
"If you are willing, I will prepare it right away. Give me the money."
Dung Ball immediately agreed. Are you kidding me? You should keep it at home and waste rice. It's best not to come back forever. It's okay to come back. You have to bring enough money and tickets before you can come back.
Li Bing looked at Li Huan and said sheepishly: "Brother, lend me three hundred yuan. In addition to the pension money for my mother, the rest of my monthly allowance will be returned to you."
Da Ya's mouth is so open that Li Bing has been in the army for so many years, but he can't even get out three hundred yuan and has to borrow it from a second-rate guy. From now on...
Li Huan readily took out three hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to Li Bing. This was what the two brothers had agreed upon, in order to avoid future trouble.
Three hundred yuan was given to Dung Ball. Just as Dung Ball was about to reach out to take it, a betrothal gift list was handed over. You can take the money, but you have to sign for it.
Dung Qiu didn't understand the words on it, but Chen Weidang only understood it after reading it. He suddenly became impatient. It's the rule of the girl to sign for a bride price.
"If you don't sign it, then I won't marry you. You can go to the police and sue me."
Dung Ball: "..."
I signed! I pressed it hard with my thumb, leaving clear red fingerprints on the white paper.
The three hundred yuan had just been received and had not yet warmed up. Li Huan took out the IOU he had written and waved it in front of Dung Qiu's eyes. Dung Qiu's face had turned dark, but he saw the money Li Huan had deliberately placed on the table.
Even though he was building a house, he still took out two hundred yuan and handed it to Li Huan.
Li Huan noticed that he had a toothache, so he obviously took out one hundred yuan and gave him the remaining two hundred yuan. Shi Qiu accidentally counted out two hundred yuan and gave it to him, and counted the remaining one hundred yuan three times.
After returning the IOU to Dung Ball, Dung Ball quickly ran to the kitchen and stuffed the IOU in. When he saw the note burnt to ashes, his heart calmed down.
"Tell Miao Qing to leave on the sixth day of the lunar month and wait for me at the entrance of the village at six in the morning."
"What, I didn't give you a betrothal gift. I'll send it over tomorrow, no, in the afternoon."
"This is not my home. I am also staying here. Why are you coming here?"
"you……"
Shi Qiu finally understood why Li Bing wanted to separate the family first and then give him a betrothal gift. They underestimated Li Bing. This guy had been out for a few years and had learned a lot.
"Sister-in-law of the Li family is amazing. You have raised two children, one a sperm and the other a scoundrel."
"Your children are not bad. Your son is greedy and your daughter is mean. They are each other."
Cheng Qiao saw her mother-in-law's angry lips trembling and replied lightly. Shi Qiu looked at Cheng Qiao with cold eyes, wanting to slap her in the face, but Li Huan looked at him eagerly and could only endure this tone.
.
I touched the money in my pocket, and fortunately I still had a hundred yuan in it. This loser didn't lose much, so I took Daya away.
"Village chief, come here to eat wedding candies. After all, you are getting married, so you still need wedding candies."
Chen Weidang looked at the White Rabbit toffee, which weighed at least half a kilogram, with a smile on his face. This was not a wedding candy. People in the village always bought fruit candies that cost three pieces for one cent when they got married. How could one buy White Rabbit toffee?
"Thank you, sister-in-law Li, you have to trust Li Bing, he will handle this matter well."
