What Ji Huai said was merciless. Even though Ji Hao became a teacher, his thinking was actually the same as Liu Yun's, perhaps even "smarter" than hers. The two of them were actually a good match.
Years ago, he had been hiding behind Liu Yun as a "strategist". At that time, the village committee wanted to dig a drainage ditch, which happened to pass through their land, but it was just on the edge. When Ji Hao found out, he asked Liu Yun to rush to it. To plant trees on that path, the village committee could only allocate another piece of land to them before digging up the trees.
I exchanged the land on the edge of the road for a piece of my own land, and used it to plant a few peppers. The abacus made a lot of noise.
Seeing Ji Huai staring at them angrily, Chen Haiyan's eyes showed guilt.
No matter what Ji Huai is, he is still her son. At most, he prefers the other, not completely ignoring the other. She doesn't want to be an enemy of her son. That would be to hold on after being full and make herself unhappy.
Ji Hao's face turned blue and white. He never showed up and got benefits behind his back. Ji Huai now tore off his mask.
He glanced at Liu Yun, who suddenly had red eyes, crying and admitting his mistake to Ji Huai, "It's all my fault. It's right for you to be angry. I didn't know there were so many misunderstandings here, and Xiao Yu said so little. I didn’t expect that she would be unhappy, we are all a family, and I didn’t think much about it.”
"I told Xiaoyu about planting agarwood. I borrowed the land to plant it first. It's all my sister-in-law's fault. Your brother doesn't know about this. Don't affect your brother's relationship."
"Borrow?" Ji Huai's tone was cold, "How about your family also lends it to us for a few decades? You really affect our family's relationship. If my wife is like you, will our family survive? "
Liu Yun still wanted to drag Qin Yu into trouble and clear his name, so he could just help her.
Ji Hao's face darkened, and he immediately said, "The tree must be cut down. If it exceeds the limit, then go back and cut it down. I would rather have less than to quarrel over such a trivial matter."
Liu Yun also nodded repeatedly, not to mention a lot of approval, as if she was the tolerant and generous one.
Chen Haiyan also took the opportunity to speak out, "Just say it, we are all brothers, let's eat after we have taken care of it, right?"
"Eat, eat, I'll go chop it tomorrow." Liu Yun tried to lighten the atmosphere and change the subject quickly.
Ji Huai watched their performance quietly and cooperated. Just when Ji Hao and Liu Yun breathed a sigh of relief, he slowly said: "You can do as many things as you have the ability to do."
"Yes." Liu Yun squeezed out a smile and agreed, looking a little embarrassed, thinking that he was talking about her planting more pepper.
After hearing his change of subject, he took a mouthful of food and said, "No matter how much benefit you get, you have to do a lot of things. I thought about it. My eldest brother inherited my father's position and shared the family property equally. Will you support my mother in the future?"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Ji Hao, his dark eyes not missing any expression on his face.
Ji Hao was startled at first, not expecting him to say that at all, and then he frowned, somewhat unwillingly.
Chen Haiyan became anxious first and shouted directly, "What are you talking about? I'm not dead yet, you little bastard, you want to throw me away? I'll help you raise and give birth to you by pooping and peeing. Is this what you did to me?"
Seeing this, Ji Hao continued to say nothing.
In the eyes of the villagers, this was extremely unfilial. Qin Yu looked at Ji Huai, but she didn't speak.
Anything you say at this time may become a punching bag.
Seeing how angry Chen Haiyan was, Ji Huai smiled instead, as if he was thinking about her, "Why are you excited? My eldest brother is receiving dad's salary, so what's wrong with using dad's salary to support you? I fought for you, and you're still angry ? I’m so poor, and I don’t have a stable salary. If I want to support you in the future, I have to be rich. If you get sick, do I have to sell your kidney? I can’t let my elder brother keep a living? You have to have money to treat your illness in the future. Bar?"
Chen Haiyan's anger was immediately extinguished. Yes, she needed her younger son to help her fight for it. What if her older son didn't care about her
It's one thing that she prefers Ji Hao. Liu Yun is unreliable. She is also selfish and fears death more than anyone else.
Finally, after hesitating for a long time, he said, "Then your eldest brother has two sons."
In the countryside, we need to build a house for our son.
"I may have children in the future, maybe three." Ji Huai replied.
Qin Yu looked sideways at him and stopped talking when he saw his unserious expression.
She didn't want to give birth. One was enough. If there were more, she couldn't survive. There was only one piece of land. If it was divided, it would be too little and the child would suffer.
Chen Haiyan shut up.
Seeing that Ji Hao was silent, Ji Huai looked at him and called out, "Brother? What did you say?"
Ji Hao suppressed his anger and didn't know what expression to put on his face. What could he say
Ji's father's position was given to him, and his property was also taken away. He had to either agree or hand over the property for redistribution.
When he got to the things in his pocket and asked him to take them out, he felt deep in his heart, gritting his teeth secretly, "That's right, I am the eldest son, so I am naturally responsible for supporting my mother."
He had already thought that Chen Haiyan would have to spend a lot of money on burial expenses after she fell ill and passed away, and he would have to pay for this money.
It only costs a few hundred yuan to build a small toilet. The thought of it makes me heartbroken.
"That's right, do as many things as you want, so no one will say anything." Ji Huai emphasized, and then said, "But don't worry, brother, I won't let you pay 100% in the future, at most 90%. In the end I will still pay if it’s 10%.”
After saying that, he smiled at Chen Haiyan and said, "Mom, are you relieved? My brother said it himself, and it is also a guarantee for you. Dad must also want me to give you a guarantee. He is gone, and the only one he cares about is you. .”
How could Chen Haiyan think deeply? She looked relieved. She felt that Ji Huai was thoughtful.
Ji's father died, Ji Hao took over Ji's father's position, and Liu Yun was still farming at home, so didn't he receive Ji's father's money in vain
Seventy or eighty a month.
Chen Haiyan thought of Father Ji and sighed, "It would be great if your dad were here. At that time, he gave me thirty yuan a month. How could the snacks at home never run out?"
"If I receive dad's salary, I can't give mom thirty yuan a month, so I have to give twenty yuan. After all, I relied on dad to get the job." Ji Huai looked helpless.
Ji Hao and his wife often said beautiful words before.
Liu Yun became anxious when he heard this, "Although it is my father's position, your brother has to teach me to make money."
That was what Ji Hao earned, why should it be given to Chen Haiyan, an old woman
Don't let her take out even a cent of their family's money!
"I'll just mention it." Ji Huai also followed Liu Yun's previous behavior and ignored it if he was refuted.
It's good if it can disgust people.
"Farming is much harder than teaching." Chen Haiyan said it herself, and she also had some opinions about Ji Hao.
But what if I have any opinions? Not to mention asking Ji Hao to spend thirty yuan every month, even five yuan is impossible!
Ji Hao starts to pretend to be deaf.
"Xiaoxian and Xiaocheng are going to kindergarten soon. Mom, you don't know the situation of our family. It's really difficult to raise two children at once, and we still have to save money to build a house." Liu Yun answered and started selling awful.
In the past, if she was in trouble, Chen Haiyan still wanted to try her best to help. Now that Ji Hao is silent, he obviously doesn't want to give her money to spend. That is the money that he only has after taking over Ji's father's position, which is her money.
Ji Huai was willing to give up thirty yuan, but Ji Hao never gave her a penny, and she had to help him raise two children.
Chen Haiyan felt unbalanced in her heart.
A meal that ended in displeasure.
Ji Hao was not good at dealing with this, so he left the next day and left the mess to Liu Yun, since he knew she could handle it anyway.
As long as Liu Yun is not asked to get money, she can do anything. She has been particularly enthusiastic about Chen Haiyan these days, and she keeps promising, "Mom, you will live with us from now on. Ji Hao has already said that we will provide for you in your old age, so that Xiaoxian from Xiaocheng Everyone is filial to you."
"You can eat whatever we eat, and we will never wrong you."
…
As soon as Chen Haiyan agreed, Liu Yun immediately proposed to separate the family, and said to Ji Huai with an embarrassed look, "Since we are separated, we must do it thoroughly, otherwise we will be in trouble again. Mom will live with us. Do you think it is okay?"
How old is Chen Haiyan now? You can also feed chickens and grow vegetables. Now that you live with them, do you also have to help her take care of the children
It must have been earned.
After being completely separated and no longer having to support the three Ji Huai family members, how much food would they have to eat? Save the money and feed the chickens.
Ji Huai looked at Qin Yu with inquiry in his eyes.
"Then let's separate." Qin Yu asked again, "There is only one kitchen, do we want to cook in it together?"
Although the kitchen is dark and dark, at least there is a kitchen. This is actually a bit inconvenient. It is also a meal. Should the whole family eat together after finishing the meal
Liu Yun smiled and said, "Of course not. Dad and Mom built it together. Of course Mom cooks in it. That utility room is also the kitchen. Are you good at cleaning it up?"
Qin Yu turned her head and looked at the utility room, which was a bit crowded for both of them to enter. There were no windows and the wooden door was in a terrible state. She said cruelly, "That's okay."
Let's just separate the family. Chen Haiyan has a lot to do. They live as a family. It's a bit hard, but it's comfortable.
Not to mention Liu Yun was very satisfied. Now, all Chen Haiyan's things belonged to their family. She was also worried that Ji Huai would look for trouble, but he just stood aside without expressing any opinions, which made her even more angry.
If Chen Haiyan doesn't help her take care of the children, who will
As for Ji Huai's family, they will only get poorer. Ji Jun is still young, Ji Huai is lazy and lazy, how much can Qin Yu do on his own
Not as strong as she is.
Liu Yun hurriedly went to the utility room to take out her things. Ji Huai and his wife didn't mention it. She didn't give Ji Huai's family a stool in the kitchen, nor did she give them any bowls or chopsticks.
Ji Huai didn't pay attention or even get angry. While Qin Yu cleaned up, he went to the town to buy some bowls, chopsticks, pans, salt and vinegar.
Instead of walking sideways, he went around to the wellhead, where the group of aunts chatted and gossiped every day.
Let’s talk about the new daughter-in-law of the host family and the widow of the west family.
Seeing Ji Huai coming over with a bag of things, the sharp-eyed aunt already said, "What did you buy?"
Ji Huai is homeless all day long. If he marries such a husband, he will be as miserable as Qin Yu.
"Isn't this a family separation? I bought some daily necessities." Ji Huai walked over with a smile and took out a handful of candies from another bag. "I also bought some candies for my son. You guys can eat one too. "
They are soft-spoken. When they heard about the separation, the group of aunts became more excited and asked quickly, "Your family was separated? When did it happen?"
"These two days." Ji Huai said casually and handed them candies.
"Who is your mother? With you or with your eldest brother?" This is what rural people care about most. Isn't raising children for old age just for this moment
Ji Huai: "Follow me, big brother."
Everyone knew that Ji Huai didn't look very reliable and didn't do much work, but they wouldn't say it clearly. Instead, they said, "It's okay with your eldest brother. Your eldest brother is a teacher and has an easier time than you."
Ji Huai still doesn't know if he can afford it.
"Yes, I used to run to the city a lot and couldn't take care of her. My wife and I want to work hard in the city. I can rest assured that she will follow my brother." He nodded.
"Is your family going to the city?" Auntie grasped the key point.
Ji Huai: "Well, everything at home has been given to my sister-in-law. My mother has lived with them. We don't have a kitchen and we have to build it. How can we have money? My wife and I are discussing whether we should go to the city to find a job and make money back. Build a house."
"You gave them all?" The aunt was surprised and looked at the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, "You didn't even get the bowls and chopsticks? Do you have to buy the pot too?"
Everyone knows who Liu Yun is, but it doesn't make sense to break it down in such detail.
It turns out that Ji Huai went to the city to find a job before, not to fool around. People who go out to work hard these days are a bit brave. , everyone's attitude towards Ji Huai has changed a lot.
"They're all given." Ji Huai disagreed, "Let's divide it thoroughly. But if something happens to my mother, I have to take care of it. No one will help us take care of the children. We can't do so much by ourselves. We Definitely have to make a living.”
Qin Yu also relented a little last night. She agreed to sell half of the pepper, but he had to take her to buy a car with him, and he had to promise to study hard.
In this situation at home, the utility room is about to collapse, the children are about to grow up, and Liu Yun and the others will save money to build a house in a few years, but if this continues, they will not be able to afford it.
The house is half per person. If they can't build it, the land will be given to Liu Yun. She is ready to take a gamble.
The big guy's eyes were sharp, and he was a little worried about the world being in chaos, "Your brother's position belongs to your father, and now your mother has followed him, and everything is given to him. He is responsible for that, and you don't have to pay for it." , at most, you can make some efforts in the future.”
"Is that so?" Ji Huai looked confused and a little surprised.
"Of course, whoever gets the benefit will be responsible." The aunt was still a little excited when she said it, gesticulating, "otherwise, the benefit will be in vain? Nothing will be given to you, and the kitchen will be taken away. Even though you and your wife are nothing. None, but it also exempts me from responsibility.”
Ji Huai suddenly realized, "That's pretty good."
"You and your wife are stupid, and so is Qin Yu. The people in the old Qin family are all honest. I live with my eldest son, and the younger son's family doesn't care about me."
"You still have to take care of it, after all, it's my mother." Ji Huai continued, "You still have to take care of it."
"You're just too filial. It's just for your efforts. Come back and take a closer look. You won't pay for it." The aunt said with certainty.
Other aunts also echoed.
Ji Huai had a look of understanding on his face, and then said, "So that's what happened. Our family didn't tell us anything at the time. I thought we had to divide it equally."
"Your sister-in-law is so smart. If you don't explain this clearly, does it count as a separation?" The aunt even defended him, "Your mother is the same, she didn't explain these things clearly, it's a mess."
"It's okay to go to the city, but what are you going to do?"
Ji Huai: "It hasn't been decided yet. I have to take a look. I heard that the construction site is recruiting people. I can work at the construction site. It's just a bit difficult to find work. I have to ask for help everywhere."
How difficult it is to buy a tractor these days, he wouldn't tell anyone until he got off.
"If you have any work to do, take my son with you."
"And that boy of mine."
…
For a time, Ji Huai's image changed. He had the brains to find a job in the city, which was different from just going to the city to hang out.
Ji Huai agreed. He was studying in the city and had some classmates who said he would introduce them if they had jobs.
In this way, the aunt became more enthusiastic towards him. This Qin Yu family member was not just idle, but he went to the city to find a job, so his nature was different.
Liu Yun went to chop the agarwood yesterday, and the aunts were also curious, so they inevitably asked too many questions.
Ji Huai smiled bitterly and helplessly, "Isn't this a quarrel over those trees? We had a quarrel before when we sold one of our trees, and now we are planting trees in our land. After planting for half a year, we have also planted several varieties of pepper. Damn, I have a headache anyway, so let her go."
"My wife doesn't care, and I actually don't care either. I just have to turn a blind eye."
Everyone knew a little about Liu Yun's character, and they immediately showed an "understood" look. Ji Huai really didn't care about these things, but the couple was bullied to death by Liu Yun.
The aunts were also a little angry:
"She's such a good person."
"Yes, I saw it. There is no way to go even in that row on the mountain."
…
Ji Huai stayed at the entrance of the village for a while before returning. Qin Yu walked into the utility room carrying the things he bought and started to cook.
Looking at the small room where she was sleeping, it was too difficult to light a fire. She became more confident in letting Ji Huai give it a try, and turned to look at him, "You said you have to work hard, you can't lie to me this time."
"I have thought about it. We stay at home and you go alone. In this case, I can farm at home and earn more. I can build a house as soon as possible."
If there is a typhoon, the house may collapse.
She was panicking now.
"Aren't you going with me?" Ji Huai frowned, "We are a family, we must be together and cannot be separated. Making money is secondary, being together as a family is the most important thing."
It's not that Qin Yu hasn't considered this issue. What he said made her feel that she had made the right decision. This time, Ji Huai should also be determined to work hard.
In the end, there was a stalemate. It would be too inconvenient for a family to go. Do we really want to rent a house? What to do with the land at home
In this day and age, where can I rent a house
She couldn't even think about it.
The other end.
Liu Yun had dinner early today and walked to the entrance of the village.
In order to prevent Ji Huai's family from being so poor that it would affect them, she planned to go to the village to let everyone in the village know that they were separated.
The aunt at the entrance of the village was discussing Ji Huai. Such a courageous person might be able to do something great. When she saw her coming, she did not continue.
Liu Yun sat down and took the initiative to introduce the topic, "In our village, the elderly usually follow their eldest sons, right?"
"Our family has been separated in the past two days. My mother-in-law lives with us. Everything is paid for by my family. Ji Hao also said that he is the eldest son. This is his mother. We have to raise him. What do we eat? I My mother-in-law will eat whatever she wants, and I will never treat her badly."
If they hadn't heard Ji Huai's words, they would have thought that Ji Hao's family was filial.
Of course Liu Yun also wanted others to say that they were filial, but they had given away everything. When the time came, Ji Huai would not be able to come back and take possession of Chen Haiyan's remaining property.
The group of aunts looked at her happily, as if she was very generous and kind, so they directly broke the problem and said, "How will the property be divided?"
Liu Yun's face stiffened, and he waved his hand, "How can I have any more property? My mother is still alive, and she cultivates her own land. Anyway, that's all."
Now what property? Then we have to wait until Chen Haiyan dies, or let's talk about it later. Now they are taking the initiative to provide support. Is it for that little property
"Why don't you have any property? Your Ji Hao continues to be a teacher. With this alone, he has to support your mother-in-law. Besides, living with you, the kitchen is also given to you. She is not old now. She can take care of your children and grow vegetables for you. "Chickens, you are getting an advantage." The aunt who was sitting on the side fanning the chicken bluntly exposed it, "Why do you raise chickens now? When you are old and sick, lying in bed, that's called raising chickens."
Ji Huai had just arrived and gave them sweets. That poor child didn't have a kitchen yet and was forced to go to the city to work hard. How unkind would it be to let a couple raise her
Their words immediately silenced Liu Yun. Originally, she came to hear them praise her and Ji Hao for their filial piety, and took the initiative to support Chen Haiyan.
These old guys are each better than the last.
"By the way, why were the several agarwood trees you planted cut down?" the Chen family's daughter-in-law, who was holding her baby in her arms, asked in confusion.
Liu Yun was miserable, "Isn't this a quarrel some time ago? I had a few agarwood seeds left, so I planted them there first. I also told Qin Yu that when I found the land, I would dig them up immediately. Ji Huai was furious, Ji Hao also scolded me, and in anger, I went to chop him off."
Hearing this, how unreasonable Ji Huai is
Why don’t you just borrow the land to farm for a while? As for that
The Chen family's daughter-in-law felt a little pity, "Cut it down now? I think it's already big. I might be able to sell it after planting it for a few years."
"There is no way, the two brothers are like this, just don't quarrel." Liu Yun sighed, saying that it was not easy for him.
The aunt would not give her any face, and said directly, "I saw where you planted it a few months ago, and I didn't see you digging it up. Why is Ji Huai so angry if he doesn't plant the land? Your family has other things, right? ?”
When Liu Yun was asked, he felt guilty and said, "Where is it?"
"The trees have been planted in other people's fields for half a year, and they can be sold in a few more years. This has been done wrong to begin with. What do you mean there is no way?" Aunt Li next to her said in a lecturing tone, "You are wrong too. They are all right and confident, but the pepper is still being planted in other people’s fields.”
"That was a misunderstanding, so I have to pull it out." Liu Yun said vaguely, but how could she be willing to pull it out
She didn't even pinch the flowers of that row of peppers, and was going to let them grow peppers in advance. Seedlings cost a lot of money, and a stone pillar only cost a few yuan. After planting for so long, how could there be any reason to lose money
She has to hold on, as long as she can,
Maybe Ji Huai and the others would be embarrassed to say it, so wouldn't they make a profit
Compared to money, what is shame? She is thicker-skinned than anyone else!
Liu Yun changed the topic again, thinking that he had hidden it, but as soon as she left, the group of aunts started talking about it:
"This person is really funny. He plots against other people's couples every day. No wonder he has to crawl into the city."
"How many trees can you make rich by planting more trees? Ji Hao is not a good guy. He hides his ideas behind his back. Liu Yun just has no brains and only uses his strength to keep greedy!"
"Yes, she works so hard at home and goes to work before dawn. I heard that Ji Hao is at school and there are people there. She is very stupid and guarding these places at home."
…
After the separation, Ji Huai's family cooked and ate by themselves, and the couple took their son to work in the mountains.
Qin Yu was planning how many to sell first. She had worked so hard to plant each one, and she really couldn't bear to part with it.
Weeds should be removed, watered more, and if you maintain them well, you can sell them at a higher price.
Half of the land costs 3,000 yuan. The poles for the peppers to climb on cost 7.5 yuan each. Adding 150 peppercorns, each one will cost 60.70 yuan no matter what, because it has been planted for one year and next year. There will be production.
Qin Yu struggled in his heart: "How about not selling the land? We will give them one hundred and fifty to pick for ten or twenty years, and then we will take them back and pick them ourselves."
"It's okay." Ji Huai didn't force her, "You planted this. It's up to you to decide."
Before she could speak, Ji Jun's childish voice sounded, "Mom, a big black snake."
Before he finished speaking, Qin Yu suddenly turned around to look at his son. Not far away, a cobra had raised its head, spitting out snake bites, and was staring at them.
Ji Huai reacted faster than her and quietly picked up the hoe. The snake quickly attacked forward. Qin Yu was completely frightened. His blood flowed backwards and his mind went blank.
When she saw him smashing the snake's head into pieces, she was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat and just stepped forward to hug her son tightly.
It's not that she has never killed a snake before. There are many snakes here in the mountains. She dared to kill them herself and killed two.
But today she was completely frightened.
