Chapter 104: Division of the Family

Su Qingyao couldn't help but smile as she watched Lu Shengcai holding her son who was rarely sleeping, coaxing him, calling him "little baby, little baby, little baby" and touching his forehead from time to time with a doting look on his face. ReadМ

Since Lu Weiyang was born, Lu Shengcai has come to see him every morning and every night. Hold on and hold on.

It can be seen that he really likes this grandson.

However, the hug lasted too long today.

Usually, as soon as Aunt Zhou brought her dinner, Lu Shengcai left and went to the main room to eat. Today, she kept holding the child. She had finished dinner. Zhou Hongxiu put away the dishes and chopsticks for a while, but he still held the child and did not let go.

Su Qingyu thought for a while and said, "Dad, do you have something to tell me?"

"Ah? Ah."

Is there something to say or nothing to say?

When Lu Shengcai saw Su Qingyu looking at him, his men paused, stopped patting and coaxing the child, glanced at Xiaobao, and then handed the child to Hong Xiu.

As soon as Su Qingnao saw it, she asked Xiao Qingxing and Hongxiu to walk around the courtyard with their children in their arms.

"Dad, if you have anything to do, just ask me."

After hearing this, Lu Shengcai glanced at Su Qingyu, then avoided her eyes.

Looking at the void in front of him: "Dad has something to say, but he has been thinking about how to say it for the past two days..."

Something is really going on.

"It's okay, Dad, just tell me."

Lu Shengcai thought about extending his head and slashing his head, and then shrinking his head and slashing his head. The palms and backs of his hands were full of flesh. Besides, Mrs. Wu was right. After the family was separated, everyone still lived in the town, but they didn't live in the same place. It wasn't like he couldn't visit his eldest grandson. Isn’t his eldest grandson’s surname still Lu?

After thinking about it, I told him the words that had worried him for two days and were hard to say.

Su Qingyu listened quietly.

Somewhat surprised. To be honest, she didn't want to separate. Even though neither Mrs. Wu nor the children she gave birth to respected her, she never thought of splitting up and living a separate life.

These days, the world's ethics are very strict. As a woman, she has a child and her husband is still alive and dead, so she still needs to have an identity and a place of refuge. Having an identity and a place to go makes things easier. Not that many people dare to bully him.

But after listening to what Lu Shengcai said now, she could understand.

Officials in agriculture, industry and commerce, poor people and common people want to jump up the ranks. Only by passing the imperial examination and becoming an official can they have the opportunity to change their family. Studying and becoming an official may be a lifelong obsession for many ordinary people.

She understands that Lu Shengcai hopes to get rid of his identity and change his family.

However, I still felt a little uncomfortable.

This means that Lu Shengcai gave up another son for his son's future.

I have no expectations for that son.

Su Qingyu felt depressed. Somewhat sad. For the child, for him.

Seeing Su Qingyu lowering her head, Lu Shengcai felt a little uncomfortable.

He opened his lips and said, "Which branch of the family is for the higher-ups to see? Dad and you still live in the same town. Dad will still help you take care of Xiaobao and help you raise him up. Dad, Dad I won’t treat you badly…”

Lu Shengcai was a little speechless.

Su Qingyao calmed down, smiled, and said to him: "Well, I believe dad. Since dividing the family will be beneficial to the eldest brother's exams, let's split it. My daughter-in-law has no objection. Then dad will go to the county to help split the family." Come on, I’ll ask my dad to help me find a house in the past two days, and I’ll move out if I find one.”

Lu Shengcai looked ashamed: "No, no, don't worry about your father-in-law. Dad will take care of the house for you. If the family is separated, the family will also give you some things."

After saying that, seeing that Su Qingyu didn't say anything, he told us about the family's land wealth: "Our family has one hundred and eight acres of land. This is what dad thinks. He will give you thirty acres, which is as much as your two brothers. Ten My mother gave Yuzhu a dowry, and my father kept the remaining eight acres as a pension. There is only one house in the house. Dad will go find one for you to buy in the next two days. The two families live close to each other and it is easier to take care of it. Dad will go back and settle the money. Forget it, I won’t lose you and Xiaobao by then.”

Su Qingyu nodded.

Lu Shengcai said some more. Seeing that Su Qingyu was listening more and talking less, he couldn't continue: "Then dad will go back first. I will talk to you after dad has finished the matter."

"good."

After Lu Shengcai left, Su Qingyu was stunned for a long time.

When Lu Shengcai returned to his yard, he didn't even have a good meal. He was afraid that Mrs. Wu would ask all kinds of questions, which would make Lu Shengcai very irritable.

"You can't let me finish my meal alive!"

"...You eat, you eat."

Finally, Lu Shengcai finished eating. After hearing what Lu Shengcai said, Wu became furious.

"Why give her so many acres of land? Bo Cheng's maternal grandfather's family still has fifteen acres left. If she adds it up, the two of them will have forty or fifty acres, which is more than Bo Zu and Bo Zong. What do you want Bo Zu to do? Studying? Also, what can you do with only eight acres of land for the two of us?”

Lu Shengcai thought she was annoying: "Bo Cheng is the eldest son, so he should get half of the house!"

"Let's share half of it, what can we eat and drink? Bo Zong Yuzhu hasn't even said marriage yet, most of the money in the family has been used for Bo Zu's engagement, and he will take the exams to get married in the future, so why don't you need money? You are pretending to be generous! You still want it. How much money do you want to share with her when you come back?"

"Am I allowed to watch her orphaned and widowed mother live outside with nothing? Besides, I can still work, and it's not like I won't make any money later."

"What do you earn? How much can you earn! After all these years, it's still just the one hundred acres of land and this yard."

"Then what else do you want? Land, shops, a house, food and drink, isn't that enough?"

Wu choked. This is indeed much better than before when she followed the one in front.

"When did she say to move?"

"Wait until I buy them a house. Where can they move now? She's not out of confinement yet."

"You're going to buy them a house?" Mrs. Wu was furious again.

"You're going to let them live on the street without buying a house?"

"Can't we just rent a yard? How much money would it cost to buy a house? Money is needed everywhere in the house!"

"Then there's no need to split up the family. There's no need to spend money to buy a house."

Mrs. Wu was speechless when she heard that.

It was so hard to find an opportunity to split up the family. Most of Lv Bocheng wouldn't be able to come back. I haven't heard of anyone who was conscripted away from the town coming back. Would she still help Lv Bocheng raise the child? In the future, when she and Lv Shengcai die, would she have to let her two sons help raise their nephews?

That won't work.

"Then I'll go find a house tomorrow." Mrs. Wu thought for a while and said.

Lv Shengcai waved his hand: "What house can you find? Are you as familiar with this town as I am?"

Mrs. Wu wanted to say something, but she was afraid of angering Lv Shengcai, fearing that he would be stubborn and not split up the family. What about his sons? The provincial examination is coming up soon, and the in-laws have to go to the county magistrate to say hello. So no more talk.

The next day, Lv Shengcai went to Pingchuan County with Lv Bozu, divided the household registration, and transferred 30 acres of land to Su Qingmei's name, and then took the gift to the Sun family to meet the future in-laws.

He rushed back that day and found a broker to look at the house. In the evening, he went to find Su's father, invited him to drink, and told him the matter.
