Wu Zetong and Yang Liu'er just knelt down when they heard Shi Jiang, who was sitting at the top, speak, and his figure suddenly froze.
As the prospective son-in-law, Wu Zetong's face turned a little crimson. After all, he was only halfway through the salute. What does it mean to stop?
Yang Liuer was also filled with anxiety and wished she could lift her hijab and stare at her mother.
What do you want to do when you say stop at this time?
The two sons and daughter-in-law of the Yang family also looked at each other in shock. They wondered what the mother (mother-in-law) wanted to do by shouting this.
Shi Jiang said to his eldest son without raising his eyelids: "Tie Zhong, go and invite the village elders over."
Because of the wedding banquet, the village elders were also present.
It's just that saying goodbye to parents is a family matter of the Yang family, and the elders are just here to have a wedding drink.
Yang Tiezhong was a little confused about his mother's thoughts, but since his mother spoke, he naturally went outside and invited several elders from the village to come in.
"Tachida family, please come over. What's the matter?"
The clan elders came in and saw that the atmosphere in the Xitang was very strange. Their hearts skipped a beat, but they still followed their thoughts and asked Shi Jiang.
"Elders of the clan, please sit down. I have been married into the Yang family for twenty years, and have worked hard for so many years. When Tie Zhong was five years old, Tie Xin was four years old, and Liu'er was two years old, their father passed away. I also made an important decision.
I swear that I will raise them up alone. Now Tie Zhong and Tie Xin have married, and Liu'er is getting married today!"
Speaking of this, Shi Jiang couldn't help but pick up his sleeve and wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes.
When Yang Tiezhong and Yang Tiexin heard their mother's words, they couldn't help but feel guilty. They thought that all the dissatisfaction they had with their mother today vanished into nothing at this moment.
They couldn't help but think of how their mother had to go through all kinds of hardships to bring them up when she was alone.
However, what did my mother mean by these words at this time? The two Yang brothers suddenly felt a little uneasy in their hearts.
Yang Liu'er couldn't help but stiffen, remembering that although her father died young, her mother had always nurtured her and raised her up.
After hearing this, the clan elders touched their beards and nodded, expressing their appreciation for everything Shi Jiang had done in the Yang family.
If the court hadn't encouraged widows to remarry now, they would all have wanted to report to Shi Jiang and build a chastity memorial arch.
Shi Jiang didn't know that several old men actually had this idea in their hearts, otherwise he would spit on their faces.
"Now, I have fulfilled all my vows, and it can be regarded as my last devotion to Yang Litian. I specially invited the clan elders to come in and help me divide this family!"
After saying this, Shi Jiang looked over at his two sons and daughter-in-law.
The two sons looked bewildered, but the two daughters-in-law had expressions of ecstasy on their faces.
"Tachita family, why are you doing this?"
One of the clan elders had a puzzled face.
After finally raising our sons and daughters, shouldn’t they be able to enjoy happiness?
In rural areas, most parents still live together.
Unless there is really no way out of trouble at home, we will separate and live alone.
Moreover, Shi Jiangyijie was an old woman.
"mother!?"
Yang Tiezhong and Yang Tiexin shouted out loud.
"Don't call me, I've made up my mind. I'm tired of raising you for so many years! You don't think you want me to continue to serve your sons and wives, do you?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Tiezhong and Yang Tiexin's faces suddenly turned crimson, and even their eyes had a hint of red.
"Mom, why do our sons ask you to serve us? Now that mother is older, it is natural that we should serve you."
After hearing this, Shi Jiang sneered and looked at the two daughters-in-law, only to see guilty expressions on their faces.
"I don't want to talk about who serves whom. I raised you and married you, and I have fulfilled my duty as the wife of the Yang family. Now that the family is divided, it doesn't mean that you don't need to support me. Every year, each of you
Just give five hundred catties of grain and one tael of silver. The two houses on the left and right of the house will have bricks and tiles.
The house belongs to Tie Zhong and Tie Xin, and the old house in the middle belongs to me. Just build two walls from the middle. The food in the house is divided into four parts. Tie Zhong, Tie Xin and I each have one share. If you are willing, you can convert the other share.
Just give the silver to Liu'er. If you don't want to, then let me do it.
The total amount of silver is forty-eight taels, which is also divided into four parts, twelve taels per person. The field totals six acres. Tie Zhong and Tie Xin have two acres each, and Liu'er and I have one mu each. As for Liu'er, the silver of this division and one mu
This is the bottom line for her. I don't agree with her marriage at all.
It's just that she insists on her own way. Although I am her mother, I can't control her life. I just hope that the path she chose is hers, so she doesn't regret it, and she doesn't have to come to see me in the future. After this bow, we, mother and daughter, are all.
Let’s be honest! If you have no objections, please ask the clan elder to testify again.”
Shi Jiang finished everything she wanted to say in one breath, and then blessed herself with several clan elders.
"How can this be done? How can a family be divided and distributed to the girl's family?"
Wang Dani was the first to jump out and object, hating her mother-in-law's arrangement in her heart.
My mother-in-law put it nicely, saying that she was opposed to her sister-in-law's marriage. After her sister-in-law got married, she told her not to come to her house. But when her sister-in-law came to her house, how could her mother-in-law kick her out?
Wow, she just thought about it. Her mother-in-law had prepared ten taels of silver for her sister-in-law to use as the bottom of the box. After the two families opposed it, her mother-in-law came into the room and came up with such a solution.
When she thought of giving her sister-in-law twelve taels of silver, one acre of land and so much food, Wang Dani felt her heart aching. She was really angry to death!
Shi Jiang raised his eyelids, looked at the furious eldest daughter-in-law, and said quietly: "Yang Liu'er is the daughter of the Yang family. Before she got married, she was the daughter of the Yang family. Tie Zhong Tie Xin, you don't think it should be done either.
Give it to your sister, right?"
Upon hearing their mother's question, Yang Tiezhong and Yang Tiexin fell silent.
After all, the money divided is not small money. Twelve taels of silver plus an acre of fertile land still has a quarter of grain. Which family in the village can marry off their daughter like this?
Seeing this, Shi Jiang nodded and said, "In that case, I understand! The house remains as usual, and the grain fields and silver are divided into three parts. Is this feasible?"
"mother?"
When Yang Liuer heard that she could share the family property equally with her brothers, her heart was beating wildly with excitement.
But after hearing my sister-in-law's objections to the redistribution of the family property, my mother was so dissatisfied that she didn't care about the red hijab, directly opened it, stood up and shouted dissatisfied.
Shi Jiang didn't even look at her, he just stared at the Yang Tiezhong brothers.
When Yang Tiezhong and Yang Tiexin saw this arrangement made by their mother, they thought about it for a while, and finally nodded and agreed with their wife pinching them from behind.
In their opinion, everything that belongs to their mother will not belong to their two brothers after she has passed away a hundred years later!
