Now that I see this little one coming home, I naturally gather around him.
Mrs. Li, who usually came back in a carriage with large and small packages of gifts, was now all alone, with empty hands and a haggard look on her face. People in the village were whispering, in front of Mrs. Li
Although he didn't say anything, he was murmuring behind his back, "Have you been divorced and gone home?"
It's not like Mrs. Li doesn't have ears. When she heard what they said, she felt a little regretful. She felt that she came in too hasty and forgot to discipline herself.
But now that everyone has arrived at the door of her parents' house, there is no reason to turn around and go back.
"Oh, I just said that the magpies on the branches at home were chirping in the morning, and I was thinking of something good! Now, the child's aunt is coming to the house."
I saw my younger brother Li Baorong's wife, Mrs. Liu, running out of the courtyard in an exaggerated manner. She kept saying flattering words, but her eyes were rolling all over Li's body.
Seeing that Mrs. Li's hands were really empty and her face was slightly stiff, she secretly murmured to herself that this young lady was always very proud of herself. It was really strange that she didn't bring anything with her when she returned to her parents' home this time.
However, Mrs. Liu just felt it was a little strange, and she didn't feel that something had happened to the Yang family like the people in the village.
After all, my sister-in-law's son passed the Tongsheng test and will be an official in the future.
In her opinion, since her sister-in-law gave birth to such a promising son for the Yang family, there was no way the Yang family could divorce their sister-in-law.
Feeling strange in her heart, Mrs. Liu enthusiastically welcomed her sister-in-law into the house, then slammed the courtyard door shut, locking out all the curious villagers.
"It's out of season, why did you come back to the village?"
Lao Li knocked the cigarette pole in his hand, raised his eyelids and looked at his youngest daughter.
Because of the filial piety of these two daughters over the years, the family has saved a lot of money. The original two acres of land in the family has now become ten acres.
Now Lao Li Tou still has a hundred taels of silver in his hand, but he can't find anyone to sell the land at the moment, so he hasn't spent it yet.
However, in Lao Li Tou's heart, money has never been enough to make people feel at ease.
After all, money is spent as long as it is spent, and not much money will be produced.
As long as the fields are planted, it will be food. As long as farmers have food, their backs will be strong and they will have nothing to fear.
It's a pity that the eldest daughter and her husband are now gone together. In previous years, they would call for help in farming and harvesting rice at home.
This year it seems that I have to find someone myself.
This would cost a lot of money, and it made Lao Li feel sick when he thought about having to pay for it himself.
Naturally, Mrs. Li knew that her own father had such a sum of money. After all, he had asked her to help find a middleman to ask who had land to sell.
At this age, unless the family is too poor and can no longer survive, or the prodigal son, who would take the land for growing food and sell it?
It was not the farmers' turn to buy the large piece of land, it had already been bought by the rich family.
The piecemeal ones are just picked up by farmers who want to buy fields because the rich households look down upon them.
But this kind of piecemeal land is very rare. Whether you can buy it depends on luck.
Of course, Old Li Tou also knew this. If it were so easy to buy land, his family would not have only bought these eight acres of land over the years.
My son knows very well that Lao Li Tou wants so desperately to save land because he also wants to provide his son with food and clothing in the future.
After all, after so many years, my son has become accustomed to idleness, and he cannot do business or work in the fields.
If they have more fields to grow food, when the two old men die, their son and his family will not starve to death.
Now while they are still alive, they can get something from their daughter.
After all, he felt that it was only natural for him to let his daughter take care of her in her old age.
Old Li Tou, who was thinking about whether he could get some more money from his youngest daughter, never expected that when his little daughter came this time, not only would he not be able to get any more money, but he would also have to pay for it.
Mrs. Liu didn't know what her father-in-law was thinking. She only knew that as soon as her sister-in-law entered the house, she pulled her father into the house and muttered for a while.
Then he left with a smile on his face, and his father-in-law also looked satisfied.
I don’t know what I said, and I feel heartbroken and uncomfortable.
At night, while lying on the bed, I talked to my husband about it, and was scolded, saying that she was a talkative woman, and her father naturally did things the way his father did, allowing her to take care of things.
Mrs. Liu was so angry that she almost jumped up, but now her father-in-law still holds all the property in the family!
In recent years, it is true that because of their father-in-law and mother-in-law, the two sisters-in-law have been very filial to their parents' family.
She also knows very well whether her family is rich or not, and why they are rich.
Thinking of this, I suppressed the curiosity and anger in my heart and started to be mean to my husband.
Li Baorong originally didn't mean to scold him, but as his wife teased him, he naturally enjoyed letting her serve him.
Because he understands better than Mr. Liu that his own father must have gained some benefit from his second sister.
All he needs to do is be a good little brother, and his parents will naturally take care of the rest.
Mrs. Li hurried back to the county town with one hundred and sixty taels of silver in her arms that she had taken from her biological father.
She told her father that there was a family in the county who had land for sale, twelve ounces per mu, a total of twenty acres, and it was all good land.
If it's too late, I'm afraid someone will buy it away.
After hearing this, Old Li Tou was naturally excited.
If you don't pay, you will only get a little more than one hundred and sixty taels after clearing the house.
There must be a few taels left at home for household purposes, and there is still 80 taels short of the money to buy the twenty acres of land!
But I saw my little daughter patting her chest and responded, saying that she had lost the eighty taels...
But after buying the twenty acres of land, she had to leave six acres of land in her name.
Lao Li first calculated that although he could only get 14 acres of land, at 12 taels per acre, he still got an advantage of 8 taels of silver. There was no reason to disagree.
He had no doubt at all about his youngest daughter's intention to acquire private property.
After all, the younger daughter has been married to the Yang family for so long, so she can always save some private money.
It is not unreasonable for a woman's family to keep some private money with her.
However, what made him even more excited was that he didn't expect his daughter to have saved so much private money.
Lao Litou felt that he was at a loss for the oil and water he had shaved off from his younger daughter, and he should have asked for more.
If we ask for more, wouldn’t the twenty acres of land now belong to Lao Li’s family?
Although the younger daughter is also surnamed Li, the married daughter will throw away the water. At that time, the private property saved by the younger daughter will not all belong to her children. It will not be their turn to belong to the old Li family!
However, my body is still strong now, so I have more time to shave slowly.
