The eldest aunt's prevaricating response made Zhu Pingan realize that the eldest aunt did not take what he said seriously at all.
Looking at Brother Jun next to him, they are all part of the same family. They grew up together with naked buttocks and have been classmates for several years. I will not just watch his marriage have such a hidden danger. After all, this is a matter of the rest of my life. Zhu Pingan
I thought I would find an opportunity to tell him my thoughts later, and of course I would tell him not to talk nonsense. After that, it was up to him to decide what he wanted to do.
The uncle, the aunt and the grandmother took turns to give advice to Zhu Pingjun. The saliva almost flew to Zhu Ping'an's face. However, it had no effect. Zhu Pingjun was still full of confidence. Why bother a man without a wife?
Agree to the marriage.
But in the end, it was the uncle who showed his parental authority and made the decision, even if Zhu Pingjun didn't want to be tied up, he would be tied up.
Mother Chen made a pot of tea and poured tea for her grandparents and aunt. She ignored the uncle from the beginning to the end. However, the uncle's face remained normal and there was nothing unusual about it. He poured himself a cup of tea and drank it.
One sip said "good tea".
Mother Chen didn't even look back. This tea was the cheapest in town, so it wasn't good tea. This person was really hypocritical.
"Ahem, that's it. My father, my mother, and I are here this time because we have something to discuss with my second brother and my second younger brother and sister." The uncle put down the tea cup in his hand and said slowly and logically.
"What's the matter?" Mother Chen asked, raising her eyebrows.
Zhu Ping'an also turned to look at his uncle, thinking it was about Brother Jun's marriage, but he didn't expect that there were other things.
"Brother, just tell me if you have something to say." Zhu's father said after his uncle finished speaking, which made Mrs. Chen roll his eyes.
"As the saying goes, brothers who work together can cut through gold. Back then, it was the eldest brother who was confused for a moment and made a mistake."
When the uncle said this, he had a look of regret on his face and his voice was full of sincere emotions.
Father Zhu was a tall and thick man. When he heard his uncle's apology, the corners of his eyes became wet. He was so moved by his uncle that he said that Father Zhu had been waiting for this sentence for how many days.
"We are all a family. What do you think the elder brother is saying?" Zhu's father sighed, and in turn tried to comfort his uncle.
The uncle wiped the unnecessary tears from the corner of his eyes and agreed very much with what Zhu's father said, "A family. Well, the second brother said it well. I can't write a single word "Zhu" in one stroke. I was thinking, it was me back then.
I was distracted and did something wrong, so why did my second brother carry the burden for me for so many years? I was thinking, we separated the family too hastily."
Speaking of this, the uncle let out a long sigh and then thought with emotion, we made a mistake when we separated our families, we can't continue to make mistakes over and over again, mistakes must be corrected. I will also tell you
Dad has discussed it and has considered it this way. As for you, it is better to move back to the old house. We will not separate our families."
Hearing this, Mrs. Chen was a little reluctant even before Father Zhu spoke. What did he do when the family was separated? All the dirty water was poured on my family Shouyi, and he wanted to separate us at any cost. Now we are all five
Six years have passed, and it is said that they are no longer separated. Can we not recover the water that was thrown out? It was hard when we were separated. We had no food, no water, no clothes, and no shelter from the wind and rain.
But things are getting better now. My family has built a big house, which is even better than the old house. There are more than 100 acres of fertile land. Father Zhu can earn hundreds of dollars every day driving a car, and he has good food and drinks and meat for every meal.
You don’t have to suffer. Not to mention how comfortable your life is. Besides, you were the one who took the blame when the family was separated. Now your motive for reuniting the family is nothing more than profit. Your second child won the prize. Your family can be exempted from taxes and corvee.
, because the family is separated, the old house does not enjoy tax exemption, corvee exemption and other benefits, so I guess this is the reason why I moved my mind. Now if I let myself live in the old house, who will own the wealth of my family when it returns to the old house, so Mrs. Chen is a
Absolutely unwilling.
"When we were all divided, the village elders and village leaders witnessed it, and the separation agreement was stamped by the county."
My mother, Mrs. Chen, did not express her objection. She just said that everyone knew about the split and the agreement was stamped with the county. The implication was that everything was divided and could not be changed.
"It doesn't matter if the county seals it. Well, the pigs are now in the imperial examination. It's a trivial matter to go to the county to find the county magistrate. As our parents are getting older, they are looking forward to having children and grandchildren."
The uncle seemed to have been prepared for his mother Chen's objection. He glanced at Zhu Ping'an and expressed his thoughts.
I have to say, uncle is still the same as before
"Second brother, what do you think?" The uncle picked up the tea cup and looked at Zhu's father and asked.
Father Zhu was a little agitated by what his uncle said, his face turned red, and he was about to speak. But before Father Zhu could answer, his mother, Mrs. Chen, walked over diligently and poured Father Zhu a glass.
Tea, but by chance, he just happened to step on Zhu's father's feet. He winked at Zhu Ping'an without leaving any trace, and almost choked himself with a sip of tea when he stepped on Zhu's father's feet.
This kick made Zhu's father wake up a little. Since the separation, his wife and children seemed to be getting more and more comfortable. And as Chen just indicated, he also had to consider Xie'er's future. The separation agreement was in
The county has stamped the seal, so it is against the rules to let Xie'er go to find the county magistrate. Don't have a bad influence on Xie'er.
"Well, brother, the old house is not spacious. Dajun wants to get married. Please leave a room for Dajun. I can live in my yard just a short time ago. I can also bring my parents here to live there."
"
What Father Zhu said was accurate. It must be said that Father Zhu looked dull, but not pedantic.
"We live quite well in the old house." Grandfather blew his pipe and shook his head.
My grandmother meant it, but since my grandfather said that, she didn't say anything.
It was much more difficult to persuade Mr. Chen, so I would find an opportunity to talk to the second child alone. After Zhu’s father declined, the uncle did not continue to persuade the whole family. Instead, he used Zhu’s father’s words to speak sharply.
Then it turned to borrowing money.
"Speaking of Jun'er's marriage, I just remembered that I need to trouble you two for something else. Well, you also know that life in our old house has been tight recently. Jun'er said that I have to trouble you, my uncle, about the marriage.
Yes. The bride’s family mentioned by Matchmaker Wang this time is really a good family. There is no shop like this after passing this village. I was wondering if I could borrow twenty taels of silver from you to help Jun’er get started.
I will pay you back when I have more time."
"Twenty taels?"
As soon as the uncle finished speaking, his mother, Mrs. Chen, was surprised. It cost twenty taels of silver to get married, and it was not a marriage. Besides, if your family is planning to get married, why should we pay for it?
Money? That’s nice to say, but I haven’t paid back the money I borrowed before!
"Dad, why are you borrowing money from my second uncle again? You haven't repaid the money you borrowed from my second uncle before! I don't agree to the marriage, so don't bother. I will rely on myself from now on."
Zhu Pingjun's voice suddenly rang in the room at the same time, and his voice was extremely loud. Although this kid was confident to the point of arrogance, he still had a sense of responsibility.
When Zhu Pingjun's voice fell, Zhu Ping'an looked at his uncle and his face turned red like Guan Gong.
Then there was another tremor in the room.
In the end, the grandfather stopped the chaos and asked Zhu's father to borrow ten taels of silver from his uncle to settle the marriage with Zhu Pingjun first. Because his grandfather had spoken, Chen took the ten taels of silver and gave it to Zhu's father, even though he was not happy.
Father Zhu gave it to his uncle.
When sending his grandparents, uncle and others away, Zhu Pingan found an opportunity to call Zhu Pingjun into his room, whispered a few words to Zhu Pingjun, and repeatedly told Zhu Pingjun to do as he said before sending him out the door.
I have done everything I can do, so I leave it to Yun Shu Yunjuan. (To be continued.)
