An astonishing statement.
Miao Guihua said the word separation, which shocked everyone present.
"Okay, okay, you really have strong wings. Your father and I are still alive, so you dare to propose a family separation!"
Song Chi reacted quickly and tugged on Miao Guihua's sleeve, "What nonsense are you talking about? Why do you want to split up the family?"
"I'm not talking nonsense. Do you think there is still a way for us to survive in this family? Your son has such a big hole in his head, which is not as important as an egg from Fu Bao. Now he is not even allowed to study! And Fu Bao, everyone regards her as a lucky star. Do you think we have received her blessing? Not only do we not receive any blessing from her, but we are also unlucky if we eat the things she brings back. It hurts, it hurts, this is not a lucky star, it’s clearly coming to harm our fourth room!”
Some things couldn't stand to be thought about carefully. When she said this, Song Chi also started to think about it. It was really like this. Their four families had never benefited at all, but had always been in bad luck.
Mrs. Song Li's face was ashen and she yelled, "What are you talking about! You dare to get involved with Fu Bao. Everyone else is fine, so why is it just your fourth house that something happened? Isn't it because you are so evil-hearted that you are getting retribution?"
"Old lady, I don't agree with what you said. Why are we so bad-hearted? Did we beat her or scold her? I wish I could worship her as a Bodhisattva, so why are we so bad-hearted?" Although, in private, she was indeed I feel sour and jealous, but I can't admit it at this time. Besides, she was just thinking about it in her mind and did nothing. She was trying to please Fu Bao on the surface.
"Besides, Fu Bao is protected by you, and you treat her like an eyeball. Who dares to offend her? After all, my son's life is not as important as one of her eggs."
Seeing her weird look, Mrs. Song Li was furious, "Okay, you want to separate the family, right? Separate! Let's do it tomorrow!"
Are you still afraid of me? Mrs. Song Li was sure that Miao Guihua was trying to scare her by saying they wanted to separate the family, but in fact it was to let Zhu Zhu go to school. Then she didn't get what she wanted.
Song Li's words shocked everyone else.
"Mom, why do we need to separate the family when everything is going well? Please calm down and don't follow the common views of the fourth family. You and dad are here. Now that the family is separated, isn't it okay for people to talk about it?" Mrs. Wang from the eldest house advised, He turned to Miao Guihua and said, "From the fourth family, please make amends to my mother."
The Wang family did not want the family to be separated. Although their parents would live with them after the separation, there would be a big gap between their family supporting Yan Chang in school and the public school supporting him in school. Moreover, Fu Bao's blessing is real. What if we split up and lose her blessing
Ms. Chen from the second room also pulled Miao Guihua to persuade her, "Yes, if there is something we can't talk about properly, why did it come to the point of dividing the family? Mom also has her own difficulties. It's not easy to manage the family's eating, drinking and sleeping habits. . The palms and backs of your hands are full of flesh. Mom doesn’t mean to be biased towards anyone. Please be considerate of her.”
Ms. Chen also didn't want the family to be separated. She was not as stupid as Miao Guihua. She wanted to separate the family even though she didn't want Fuwo! Fu Bao is really a blessing. After she came, life at home got better and better, and even he became happy again after many years. Fu Bao also said that she was giving birth to a son, so she definitely couldn't separate the family at this time. What if they were far away and couldn't share Fu Bao's blessing
Miao Guihua sneered, "Sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, you are standing and talking without back pain. Anyway, your children have already gone to school, so don't worry. What about my pillars? If the old lady can hold a bowl of water flat, I will I won’t mention this!”
She was determined to divide the family, not only because the old lady couldn't hold a bowl of water evenly, but also because Fu Bao was really evil. Moreover, her family's pillar got a century-old ginseng. Wouldn't it be nice for them to sell it and keep the money in their own hands? When the time comes, you can give your son eggs if you want to, and you can send him to school if you want, without looking at the old lady’s face.
Seeing that she was not bluffing, but really wanted to separate the family, Mrs. Song Li said with a gloomy face, "Split!"
"Mom, we can't separate. Aren't you embarrassing us? If you tell me, people will think that we juniors are unfilial."
"That's right, mother, our family is all fine, why should we divide ourselves into different families? You are poking our spines!"
Even brothers Song Hai and Song He began to persuade him, but only the third and third brothers kept smiling and saying nothing. They have always been like this. In the past, their honesty and duty had no sense of existence. Even though Fu Bao gives them a good face now, they are not troublesome people.
"You don't need to persuade me, this family must be divided. If you don't want to divide it, then give the fourth child a room!" the old lady said, glaring at Miao Guihua with an unkind look.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned again, "Separate the fourth child's family, mother, isn't this..."
Doesn't this embarrass the fourth child and his family
The old lady snorted coldly, "This is what they want to divide. Since she wants to divide it, I will help them."
Miao Guihua also looked sad. She didn't expect the old lady to be so stunning. But this shows that she has no affection for their fourth family, which makes them even more likely to separate!
Why doesn't Song Chi understand this? He was still hesitant at first because Miao Guihua hadn't discussed the family separation with him yet. But they have been together for almost ten years, and they still have a tacit understanding. Miao Guihua must be relying on something to be so confident in breaking up.
Even if he has no support, he can't bear to blame the old lady for not letting Zhu Zhu go to study.
Now that the old lady had said such ruthless words as to separate their four rooms, the last concern in his mind was gone.
So he didn't say a word, which was regarded as acquiescence.
At this time, Song Dashan looked at Song Chi and Miao Guihua with a livid face, "Do you really want to separate? Separate separately as your mother said?"
Miao Guihua immediately said, "Dad, we don't want to separate. If you and mother can hold a bowl of water evenly and let my Zhuzi go to school, then I will never mention the word separation."
Mrs. Song Li spat at her, "Don't even think about it. The family doesn't have any extra money to send three children to school!"
Song Chi was silent for a moment and asked Song Dashan, "Dad, is this what you mean?"
Song Dashan also fell silent. Since Song Li said this, it was naturally the result of the discussion between the old couple. It is indeed difficult to provide education for three children, and Zhu Zhu is usually lazy and greedy, and he does not seem to be a good reader. So just save the money.
This silence represents acquiescence.
Song Chi felt cold, "Then let's divide it. If you don't want Zhu Zhu to study, then we will do it ourselves."
Song Dashan could only nod, "Okay, let the clan leader come as a witness tomorrow."
Once this decision is made, it is basically a done deal. For a time, some people were happy and others were worried, and everyone had their own thoughts. Even dinner was unpalatable.
Only Yan Qing breathed a sigh of relief, but he had no appetite for mixed vegetable soup and wild vegetable pancakes. I ate it whole and followed my parents back to the house.
The Song family has a large population, and if the whole family lives together, the room will be tight. There are four rooms in the main hall, and the one on the east side houses Song Dashan and his wife. In the middle is the main room, which is a place for eating and entertaining guests. The room to the west of the main room is occupied by the big family. There is another room on the far west side. Because Song Yanchang went to school and needed a quiet environment, this room served as his study and bedroom.
In addition to the main hall, there are three east and west wing rooms.
The southernmost room in the east chamber is the kitchen, and the middle room houses all the girls in the family. Because the eldest two are getting older and are about to reach the age of marriage, it is not suitable for them to live with their parents anymore.
In the northernmost part of the east chamber lives the second child and his family.
In the northernmost part of the west wing, Lao San's family lived, and in the middle was Yan Qing's family. The one on the south side is a general store, where various farm tools, firewood and other things are stored.
Anyway, the whole family lived in a full house.
Yan Qing's family of four returned to the room and immediately closed the door.
Miao Guihua quietly told Song Chi about Yan Qing digging a ginseng tree.
Song Chi's reaction was the same as Miao Guihua's, and she almost screamed. Fortunately, Miao Guihua was prepared and covered his mouth in time.
"Keep your voice down, don't yell, what if others hear you?"
Song Chi quickly lowered his voice, "Okay, okay, I won't yell. Where is Ginseng? Let me take a look!"
Miao Guihua took out the box containing ginseng and carefully showed it to him.
"Good guy, this must be a hundred years old. It will definitely fetch a lot of money! No wonder you want to divide the family. This is our private property and cannot be handed over to the public."
Song Chi is not a foolish and filial person. On the contrary, he has been pampered by his family since he was a child, and he has some selfish tendencies. If you can hold something in your hand, you will never take it out.
"Do you need to say this?" Miao Guihua said as she carefully packed the ginseng.
Song Chi picked up his son and spun him around with a smile on his face, "My dear son, you are so capable. Where did you get it from? They say Fu Bao is a lucky star. I think my son is a lucky star! Fu Bao is a lucky star!" No matter how hard you try, you can’t dig up a hundred-year-old ginseng, but my son did!”
Before Yan Qing could say anything, Miao Guihua said angrily, "What are you talking about? How do you know Fu Bao didn't dig up the ginseng? I dug one up last month and was sold to my mother for two hundred taels of silver. She's so sneaky. Let us know, for fear that if Zhuzi hadn’t seen it, we might have been kept in the dark!”
"Is there still this matter?"
"Zhu Zhu saw this with his own eyes, otherwise how would he know what ginseng is? I didn't mention it today, just to catch her off guard tomorrow. Just wait, she will definitely not mention it after the separation, and I’ll definitely share a little bit of everything with you! I’ll tell her about it then.”
