118, Educated Youth 21
Liu Shuying sat firmly on the stool, gritted her teeth and said, "Boss, tell her, have you ever sold anything since you were a child?"
Xu Qianqian looked at Ji Lan with anger in his eyes, "No, never. That was speculation and something to be caught. How could I do that?"
Liu Shuying slapped the table, "Did you hear me? My son has always been responsible, so why are you treating him as a speculator? Are you talking nonsense to kill my son? Since you want to make it clear today, I will tell you He said, my family only has more than 400 yuan in total, which was passed down bit by bit from the great-grandfather of the Xu family. Over the years, I have raised a large family. When you got married and bought a sewing machine, I only have 30 yuan left. "
She pulled Su Yuanyuan and Xu Xiaona over, "Why are you picking on them? It didn't cost me a penny for Yuanyuan to come in. It was all earned outside. He drives on business trips and does hard work by helping people move things. What kind of work can he do?" What kind of work is it? It’s hard to earn some money to pay for his wife’s dowry. What’s wrong with you? Nana’s food and drinks are all provided by her second brother and sister-in-law. What does it have to do with you to choose this or that? Aren't you jealous?"
Ji Lan was a little dumbfounded. What Liu Shuying said overturned everything she believed. If Xu Xiangqian didn't earn all of this, then what did she feel hurt and uncomfortable these days? After a few seconds, she realized that since the more than four hundred dollars were passed down from ancestors, shouldn't they belong to their eldest family?
The eldest son will take care of his old age, and Liu Shuying will definitely live with them in the future. Now that Liu Shuying has spent all the money on others, isn't their big house a huge loss? She immediately became emboldened again, "Mom, every word you say has nothing to do with me. You don't regard me as a family member at all, do you? Otherwise, even if Dongzi can make money outside, why doesn't he leave it to himself at home? Spend it? Although the work points for me and Qiang are in our own hands, don’t we put the food in the kitchen for everyone to eat together? How can the second bedroom just enjoy it? If you continue to be a good person and take care of Xiaona, what will Dafang have left after all? Mom, are you not partial?"
Xu Xiangqian shouted sharply, "That's enough! I see that your heart is dark. Our family is doing well. Who cares about this? If you have such big objections to the family, then don't get divorced!"
Ji Lan stared at him in shock, unable to believe that he could actually say such words as "divorce" despite fighting for him everywhere. Liu Shuying also swallowed back what she was about to say and was shocked. There has never been a divorced couple in their entire village. They fight and fight and fight and fight. How can they file for divorce?
The yard was so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard. Xu Xiangqian looked at Ji Land with anger on his face and said: "Get the documents and go get a divorce now. If you are not satisfied with the Xu family, go find someone you are satisfied with. I've had enough of you." Well, I can’t let you make trouble at home every day even if I’m a bachelor for the rest of my life!”
Ji Lan's mind was filled with the tender care he had given to his wife in his previous life. Looking at Xu Xiangqian's coldness and ruthlessness, he couldn't stand the stimulation at all. He suddenly pounced on Xu Xiangqian and beat him, "How dare you! If you dare to divorce me, I will hang you." Die at the door of your house! You, a heartless person, did this to me. Who am I doing this for? Your mother is so partial. If you don’t feel sorry for yourself, I feel sorry for you. I do it for you. Are you going to divorce me? Have you been kicked in the head by a donkey? If you continue like this, you will have to be a slave to the whole family for the rest of your life!"
Liu Shuying originally wanted to give some advice, but when she heard these words, her face turned green with anger. What did she do? She has protected her eldest son until he has grown up. She does not have to worry about anything except farm work every day. She has even thought out his future path. Is she partial? The one she feels most ashamed of in the whole family is her youngest son. The good life in the family is all brought about by his younger son. Not only does he take risks outside, he also has to bear the infamy of the village. Even her eldest son's good reputation was deliberately created by her to help her, and it was her younger son's credit that she took away!
She didn't regret that she gave her younger son's credit to her eldest son, but she regretted that she hadn't forcefully regretted the marriage in the first place. It's better to be scolded for being irresponsible than to be such a troublemaker. What should I do now? No matter how you talk to Ji Lan, it doesn't make sense. If you stay, it will be a disaster. Do you really want them to divorce?
Su Yuanyuan saw that the two of them were almost fighting, so she stepped forward, picked up one of them by the collar, and threw them to both sides of the yard. Then she frowned and said, "Sister-in-law, from what I heard, you just think that our whole family It’s all a drag on big brother, right?”
"Brother and sister, don't listen to her." Xu Xiangqian stood up, looking embarrassed. His younger brother is not at home, and the scene now looks like the elder is bullying his younger siblings. He doesn't know how to explain to his younger brother.
Su Yuanyuan ignored him and continued: "Sister-in-law, you just make your own decisions on everything you want. You eat the food you earn by yourself, and you don't spend the money you earn on us. Is that what you mean? Then don't you just want to share it with us? Home?"
Ji Lan's eyes lit up, and Liu Shuying immediately slapped the table, "What kind of family should we separate? I've never heard of family and everything being prosperous? What can we do if we separate and live our own lives?"
Ji Lan hurriedly got up and said, "The tree has big branches. Mom, won't the brothers and sisters of your generation also separate their families when they grow up? Who's family can never separate? There is no conflict of interest if everyone lives their own lives. What's wrong with me? I Everything I do is for the sake of moving forward. After the separation, no one takes advantage of Xiang Xiang. Naturally, I will not make trouble anymore. What I like about Xiang Xiang is like living a good life with him wholeheartedly. If there were no such bad things, I would Will it cause trouble?"
Xu Qianqian was so angry that his veins popped out, "Shut up! If I say divorce, I will divorce. Without you, our family can live well, and the Xu family will not be separated!"
"You! Are you willing to be a bully for the rest of your life? You only blame me for making trouble, but think about it, now we have nothing, how will we raise children when we have children? Our mother feels sorry for her daughter and gives her good food every day Yes, all the family money is gone. What happens when we have a child? I don’t have the food I want for my child. Do you think you can be so selfless?"
What Ji Lan said made Xu Xiaona feel ashamed and she ran back to the house crying. Su Yuanyuan hurriedly followed her and gave her sister-in-law a bit of spiritual energy after she almost fainted. After stabilizing her condition, she whispered some words of comfort to her.
Liu Shuying said angrily: "I raised Nana with great difficulty. Whenever the weather gets colder or hotter, she will get sick. If she is too weak, she cannot do heavy work. She will choke and cough when burning a fire. The doctor said personally that she is not in good health. It must be raised carefully. I feel sorry for my daughter, so I just want to take care of her. Why do you not let me take care of her when I come in? Didn't I tell you to go back to your parents' house to rest? Who forced you to bully you? Why are you holding on to Nana now? "
Su Yuanyuan patted Xu Xiaona's hand, walked to Liu Shuying and said, "Mom, there is no result if we keep arguing like this. My sister-in-law is too prejudiced against us. I think we should just separate our families. From now on, my sister-in-law can raise chickens if she wants to. Just make money how you want, let her try, maybe she will understand the difficulties of being a householder, it’s better than quarreling every day like this, what do you think?”
Liu Shuying was startled, then turned to look at her, "Are you also in favor of dividing the family?"
Su Yuanyuan said with a smile: "Mom, no matter how we separate, the blood relationship cannot be separated. We will still be a family in the future. Isn't there a saying that the fragrance is far away and the smell is near? Maybe if we are separated, our family can live in harmony. Originally, I was going to move to the county to live with Dongzi, isn't that the same as splitting up the family? Now it's just a more thorough separation, so Nana will be more comfortable in the future."
Su Yuanyuan spoke calmly and with a hint of comfort, and Liu Shuying listened to her. The key is that when things get to this level, no matter what happens, living together will not be happy. It was impossible for her to really watch Xu Xiangqian get divorced because of such a thing. To be honest, the Xu family was the one who had the biggest impact. Because she couldn't say that Xu Xiangdong made a lot of money, she would be more partial in the eyes of others. This was a deadlock and a secret, and she couldn't explain it to others.
Although she was annoyed by Ji Lan, compared with other families in the village, Ji Lan was at best a strong and troubled daughter-in-law. Divorce meant that Xu Xiangqian had abandoned his wife. Ji Lan, a woman, would have to live with gossip in the future, and it would be hard to marry again. If you can't marry a good person, you may commit suicide if you can't think about it. She couldn't let her son commit such a crime, so after much thought, Liu Shuying finally decided to separate the family!
Regardless of Xu Xiangqian's anxious dissuasion, Liu Shuying simply counted the things in the house and asked Su Yuanyuan to find Xu Xiangdong. Then, while it was still dark, we invited the team leader, the village party secretary, and an old uncle from the Xu family to bear witness. She knew clearly in her heart that the money in her hand was given by Xu Xiangdong. No matter how worried she was about her eldest son, she could not touch the money. Just as she had told Ji Lan before that she only had thirty yuan left in her hand, she just gave the thirty yuan to her. Take it out and divide it into three portions. Ten yuan for the big house, ten yuan for the second house, and ten yuan for her and her daughter.
She raised two chickens at home, and they all belong to her. Xu Xiangdong and Su Yuanyuan said they didn't want the thirty-one acres of land they had just been allocated. They really didn't want to farm. Since Ji Lan felt that the money they spent on their wedding should go to At home, she simply used the fields to blame her for what she called "unfairness." In this way, no one can say anything biased about Liu Shuying in the future, let alone go over old scores and say who took advantage of Dafang. There are those fields, and Dafang is the one who took advantage.
Everyone present felt that such a big house was an advantage. Ji Lan thought that she would do business to make a lot of money in the future, and the land was nothing. But others didn't understand the future. She was holding back and couldn't say anything, so she could only accept the compensation for the second house. . Xu Xiangqian was very angry, but he was already a clumsy person, and several people in his family had decided everything. In the end, he could only be depressed and miserable, thinking about divorce all the time.
After Liu Shuying considered it, she left ten acres of land for herself, including the best one, and the remaining twenty acres belonged to her big house. The family's house is divided as it is now. Everything in each house is private and not divided. All other bits and pieces are divided equally.
Several people who came to witness frowned and tried to persuade her. Even Ji Dawei felt that his daughter had gone too far. But Xu Xiangdong and Su Yuanyuan didn't mind "suffering a loss". If they insisted on settling the previous "account" in this way, they wouldn't say more. It's just that the deed of family division stated the reasons for the division of the family according to their requirements, and the situation in which the second house was to be compensated for the land by the second house.
Ji Dawei felt that it was inappropriate. This would affect Ji Lan's reputation too much, but Ji Lan didn't care, as long as the family was separated. This thing will be useless in the future. When she leaves this small village, who will she know?
After the family was separated, Liu Shuying was so angry that she went back to the house and lay down, not wanting to eat.
Xu Xiangdong cooked food for them, and then said to Xu Xiangqian: "Brother, it's actually nothing. It's normal for brothers to separate. Since my sister-in-law said that she is always for you, then you can see how she lives a good life. But what if It's just the two of you, and she still does it with you, then... Brother, don't think about anything else, we are still brothers, Mom won't blame you, open your heart." He walked over with the food and said. He said, "If we separate, don't eat together. Let your sister-in-law do the cooking for you and sister-in-law, so as not to cause any disputes if we get together. I'll go see Mom first."
Xu Xiangqian felt ashamed of his second brother, but he had not divorced Ji Lan yet, so he had no shame to say anything.
Xu Xiangdong and Su Yuanyuan went into the room, put the food on the table, and persuaded Liu Shuying to eat some. Liu Shuying held their hands with red eyes, "I've made you feel wronged. Mom knows that you don't want the land to take care of the boss. That house-ruiner is so hateful. If it weren't for her, our family would be living well."
Xu Xiangdong smiled and said: "Mom, don't feel bad. It's not like you don't know that I can make money, and Yuanyuan can make money by writing books. We really don't like farming, and we don't plan to ask for our family's land when we go to the county." "Instead of keeping it to worry about, it's better to give it to my elder brother. He is a good farmer. The more land in his hands, the better. He will live a better life and you can worry less. "
Liu Shuying nodded, "You are all good children. Oh, it would be great if the boss could be as clever as you. I really don't trust him, but if I live with him, I will have to quarrel with Ji Lan every day and do housework." How are we going to live together? I hope Ji Lan can have a good life with the boss after separation."
"Mom, we are separated, but it's not like we won't see each other again. We are so close, and we can know everything. Don't worry too much." Su Yuanyuan handed her the chopsticks and said with a smile, "It's rare for Dongzi to cook. Mom, please eat quickly. I’ll call Nana over. I’ll definitely get better in the future.”
"Okay, with you as a lucky star, our family will definitely be able to live well." Liu Shuying saw the two children smiling without any grudges, and the depression in her heart finally disappeared.
Su Yuanyuan went to call Xu Xiaona and smiled when she saw Ji Lan happily cooking in the kitchen.
In the original text, for the sake of her own reputation and to maintain a good image in front of Xu Xiangqian, Ji Lan did a lot of calculations behind the scenes, making everyone in the village think that Liu Shuying was an evil mother-in-law, Xu Xiaona was an evil sister-in-law, plus a second-rate brother-in-law, and the whole family bullied them. Large room.
This time, she allowed her family to stand on the moral high ground. The source of Xu Xiangdong's money could not be revealed, but they used the land to compensate, and also stated the reason for the separation, allowing Ji Lan to take advantage. From now on, I'm afraid no one in the village will feel that the Xu family's house has suffered any loss. Ji Lan's reputation was ruined due to Zou Wen's incident earlier, and her image in Xu Xiangqian's mind also plummeted. From now on, what will become of the "good life" Ji Lan is determined to seize depends on what she does!
