Chapter 219 Can’t it be buried farther away?
"Aren't we too controlling? We raised Shi Niu, and we treated him better than Tie Niu! But does he ever treat us as his elders? He orders us around every day!
And you, second brother, you have hands and feet, but you don't take care of the children, don't do any work, and just stay in the house and sleep all day long. Ask yourself, we owe you!
Today the family is divided! From now on, each of us will live our own lives, so as to avoid the family fighting and making things worse!"
Li Lao Men had never talked so much before. This time he was so angry and anxious that he said a lot of words. Mrs. Cao and the others were stunned.
Li Tieniu still felt it was not enough, and added, "It's okay if we don't divide the family. Since you don't care about my life or death, I don't care so much anymore. The worst that can happen is that our whole family will go to jail!"
Mrs. Cao said angrily: "Let's split up the family!"
Listen to the eldest brother's complaints. It's impossible not to split up the family after things have become like this. They have to live together as a family. Who knows how angry the eldest brother's family will be. They might even quit!
Rather than living together unhappily, it is better to separate and live separately.
However, "You guys are not filial if you talk to an old woman like this. I won't live with you!
"The second son and Shi Niu are the most sensible ones, so I'll live with them! So you have to give me the silver as a tribute every year, two taels of silver, no less!"
The eldest brother's family is difficult to control. If she lives with them, she will be angered to death sooner or later. It is better for her to live with the second brother and Shi Niu, and then receive filial silver in her hands, and live a life of luxury. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
Li Laojin and Li Shiniu also hummed with satisfaction. Isn't it just a division of the family? Look how proud they are of it!
The mother (grandmother) is on their side. They can split the family, but they still get the money. They won't suffer any loss anyway!
Li Zheng couldn't stand listening to this, "Two taels? Do you think Lao Men's family is rich? I'm the boss, it's just one tael!"
He didn't know what Mrs. Cao was planning. She wanted Lao Men's family to continue to support Li Lao Jin and Li Shi Niu! What kind of family division is this?
Li Laojin and Li Shiniu's faces froze. "How can one ounce be enough? What can we eat and drink?"
"This filial gift money is given by your eldest brother to your mother! It is not for you! You two grown men, with all the necessary equipment, how can you starve to death?
You are already so old, but you still have to rely on your elder brother and nephew for support. Look at your behavior, and you have the nerve to say that!"
The head of the village wanted to beat them with a big stick, but how could he have the nerve to do that?
He didn't say anything before because it was a family matter and even he, the head of the village, had no say in it. But today, since they want to separate, he must say something!
Good people should not suffer! This kind of lazy and parasitic bad habits cannot be allowed to grow in Houshui Village!
Li Laojin and Li Shiniu looked unhappy, but after being scolded, they didn't know how to refute anything.
Anyway, the relationship has not been severed. If they can't have food to eat, I don't believe that big brother will just ignore them, right?
Mrs. Cao was also very dissatisfied. Li Tieniu now had a job, so wouldn't it be easy for him to give him two taels of silver?
She had interfered and scolded the boss, so whatever she said at this time would be just asking for trouble.
And she couldn't say anything. After all, the amount of silver offered as tribute in the village was only one or two taels, and some people couldn't even afford one or two taels.
After comparing them, Mrs. Cao didn't care anymore. "One ounce is one ounce. I can't give you any of the money in my house!"
Without waiting for the headman to speak, Li Lao Men said, "We don't want the house, but we can't lose the land!"
The purpose of separating is to stay away from them. Otherwise, you will see them everywhere and your life will not be smooth.
Mrs. Cao gritted her teeth. She really didn't want to divide the land. Even if she didn't plant it, she could still sell it for money later. But the head of the village frowned and stared at her, so she had no choice but to agree.
Li Laojin and Li Shiniu didn't care about the land. After all, they had never worked on the fields and would never do so in their lifetime, so it didn't matter.
Besides, one or two taels of silver are not bad. It is enough for them to eat and drink and not starve to death.
The head of the village nodded and said, "Tie Niu, you return the one tael of silver and write the separation document now!"
The time had finally come to split up the family business. Li Tieniu was overjoyed and immediately ran to the toilet and started digging.
The safest place in this house is the toilet, because those people only care about defecating and don't care about digging, and they will never come here unless necessary.
Mrs. Cao and Li Laojin were all dumbfounded. No wonder they couldn't find the money. It turned out that Li Tieniu had hidden it here!
What a big heart!
Li Tieniu dug out a rag bag soon, counted out one ounce and handed it over, "Brother Chen An, Sister Cheng Yue, this is one ounce, count it!"
Cheng Yue and Chen An looked at each other. It was really a pile of money with a smell. It wasn't the smell of copper, it was the smell of shit...
Why is Li Tieniu so honest? Why can’t he bury it farther away?
Chen An could only take it with a smile, "No need to order, we trust you!"
I have no choice but to believe it! The smell is so strong, if I count them one by one, wouldn’t that be asking for trouble?
Li Tieniu was deeply moved. What a great trust!
The village chief held his breath, walked out of the yard calmly, and went home to get paper and pen.
The Li family had few possessions, so they were easy to divide, and the documents for dividing the property were written in no time.
After the family members pressed their fingerprints, Li Laomen and Xia Shi both felt relieved.
The son finally stopped them from sucking blood! They will slowly make up for what they owe the child in the future!
Li Tieniu didn't want to stay any longer, so he went into the house immediately to pack his things. Li Laoma and Xia Shi also followed suit.
The village head, Cheng Yue and Chen An felt it was inappropriate to just stand there and do nothing, so they helped to carry some things.
Seeing how impatient they were, Mrs. Cao couldn't help but say a few sarcastic remarks, but since the family had been divided up, Li Lao Men and the others just pretended not to hear them.
After packing up and leaving the house, Li Lao Men hesitantly asked the village head: "Brother Village Head, do you think we can stay in that shabby house at the foot of the mountain for a while?"
Zhao Luoguo used to live there when his house collapsed, but he moved out after his house was repaired. Now the place is vacant again.
The village head had originally planned to do so, and nodded, saying, "Okay, but living there is not a long-term solution. You don't have a house, so you have to buy a piece of land and build a new house!
Actually, that shabby house is already available, but it's a little run-down and a little off the beaten path. If you don't mind, you can buy it."
Li Lao Men, Xia Shi and Li Tieniu looked at each other and thought it was feasible. It didn't matter if it was broken, as long as they repaired it, they could live in it. It was also okay as it was far away from here!
But they didn't have much money, so Li Lao Men asked hesitantly, "Brother Lizheng, how much does it cost?"
The village head hesitated for a moment and said, "Although it's a little off the beaten track, the land is not small. If you want to buy it, five taels will be enough!"
The house is not worth much. As long as it is a residential land, it would be worth about six or seven taels according to normal calculation. He is willing to take care of it.
Li Laomen and the others were of course aware of this, but they didn't even have five taels of silver at the moment, so they were suddenly worried.
"Uncle Lao Men, Aunt Xia, you can go collect herbs. Five taels of silver will only take two or three months. Besides, Tie Niu also gets paid, so there's nothing to worry about."
After Cheng Yue said this, Li Laomen and Xia's eyes lit up, but they were also very embarrassed. How could they have the face to pick herbs after their mother-in-law had made such a fuss?
Cheng Yue knew what they were thinking and said with a smile, "I can tell who is who. You don't have to think too much. Just pick them and I'll take them."
The two were so moved that they choked up and said, "Thank you, niece-in-law! We will listen to whatever you say from now on!"
Cheng Yue: "..."
This is not the case.
The tough guy Li Tieniu burst into tears. This time, Cheng Yue not only did not blame them, but also helped them so much. If it weren't for the compensation of one or two taels of silver, they wouldn't even be able to divide the home!
The village head was relieved, "Okay, settle down first, and go up the mountain to collect medicinal herbs tomorrow."
Chen An thought, hurry over, he wants to go home and wash his hands! Wash clothes! Wash copper coins!
