Brother Li had no choice but to stop. What if he went out? Father even beat the third brother, he went out to argue for the second brother, if this spread out, his reputation would be ruined! No one likes a brother who meddles in his brother's affairs at his mother's house!
"sit down."
The youngest Li looked at the hesitant brother Li, and after seeing him sitting down obediently, his expression became better.
Old Man Li shook off Boss Li and took his hand, gritted his teeth at the aggrieved third Youngest Li: "You made it clear to me today! What's wrong with your second brother?! You can tell me clearly Put it out! Otherwise, I'll beat you to death!"
Li Laosan gasped and looked at Li Changfeng standing at the gate of the courtyard. Just as he was about to open his mouth, he caught a glimpse of his daughter-in-law's pleading eyes, he! he! There is no way to say it!
"Second brother! Second brother... He didn't feel sorry for me."
Li Laosan squatted down in a daze, how could he say it, saying that the second brother has ideas about his daughter-in-law? But the second brother didn't do anything close to the Wang family, that is, the family had dinner together, and the second brother also sat in the farthest seat to avoid suspicion, saying that his daughter-in-law had thoughts about the second brother? But he has already married himself and gave birth to a child!
The second brother couldn't resist him! When he was a child, he was brought up by his second brother and a half, and he used his literacy to change the name of the military service report without authorization! He used his reputation as a scholar to let the Wang family marry Wang Ge'er to him! It's yourself! I can't help my second brother!
Li Laosan was speechless with red eyes. He wanted to admit his mistake, but he felt unwilling. He clearly knew who was right and who was at fault, but he couldn't admit that he was the one at fault!
Mr. Li looked at the appearance of Mr. Li and couldn't bear it. Before Little Brother Li was born, Mr. Li was the youngest, and Mr. Li was busy and he was already a half-old child. It can be said that the third child grew up together with Li Changfeng!
"Father, the third child knows it's wrong, so don't be angry."
Li Laosan listened to Li Laosan saying that he was wrong, and reflexively wanted to defend himself, but when he opened his mouth, his throat seemed to be choked and he couldn't speak!
The old man Li sighed heavily, sat down on the bench set up by Boss Li, and looked at Li Wangshi, who never said a word from beginning to end, what a sin! At first, I was soft-hearted and now my family is full of chickens and dogs!
"Second brother, tell me why you are thinking about splitting up."
When Li Changfeng said with red eyes that he was not sorry for him, Li Changfeng completely let go of the grievances and grievances of the three of them. What he let go of before was his feelings for Wang Li, but now it is they who let go. Betrayal and discord between brothers.
"I think there are two reasons for the separation." Now, whether it is the youngest Li and the younger brother Li in the house or the old man Li outside the house, they all put up their ears and want to understand why Li Changfeng proposed the separation.
"One is, I want to be a door-to-door son-in-law, so I must enter the door cleanly to avoid unnecessary disputes with my husband in the future, and the other is," Li Changfeng looked around the crowd, "You have heard the rumors in the village. , as long as I don't leave this home for a day, it will exist forever!"
Boss Li did not understand, "This body is not afraid of a crooked shadow!"
Li Changfeng shook his head, "We are not afraid, but the younger brother is not married yet. Big brother, third brother, you all have children. Children are sensitive. I still have the responsibility to support my parents, I dare not forget this!"
"That's right, the big tiger of the Yang family always laughs at our family, saying that he said our family is not serious!"
Boss Li's second son muttered and complained to Youngest Li and Little Brother Li!
"Don't listen to those stupid nonsense!" The youngest Li reprimanded the child, which was heard clearly by the people in the courtyard.
Li Wangshi lowered his head, silently dripping tears, what could he do? Back then, when Li Changfeng was suddenly sent to the military, he left before he even had time to say hello.
In the second year, Li Laosan was a Xiucai, and privately proposed to marry him. The Wang family was so happy that they didn't know the north, south, east, and west. This is Mrs. Xiucai!
At first, he was not very willing, but he couldn't bear Li Laosan's sweet mouth, he could talk, and he could coax others. Knowing what Li Lao San said to Li Lao Yao and his wife, he came to propose marriage.
After getting married, Li Laosan was really good to him. Although he was almost at work, and he was a scholar, he was very satisfied. Until Li Changfeng returned to the village, he felt embarrassed at home, washed clothes by the river, and was a good wife in the past. The elder brother also talked a lot about him, and what he said was unbearable!
Li Laosan noticed Li Wangshi's abnormality, stood up and walked to Li Wangshi's side, took the other party's shoulder, and wiped his face with his hand, and it was really wet.
Li Lao Yao took Li Xiaoge and the children out of the main room, and looked at Li Lao Han a few times. After a moment of silence, Li Lao Yao spoke up.
"Boss, go and invite Li Zheng and a few clan uncles!"
Boss Li opened his mouth and saw Little Brother Li and the children behind him. He sighed and left the courtyard.
"The old family and the third family cook, the younger brother takes the children to pick vegetables, and the second and third go into the main room."
Following Mr. Li's instructions, everyone did their own thing. It was getting late, and they usually started to eat at this time. I wonder if the children were hungry.
After entering the main room, the youngest Li returned to the room. Old man Li was sitting directly above, smoking a dry cigarette, and did not speak. Li Changfeng and Li Laosan did not speak either.
Not long after, the youngest Li came out, holding a half-old ink-colored money bag in his hand, and stuffed it directly into Li Changfeng's arms, "There are a total of forty-five taels of silver in the family, and the ten taels you gave back are also in it. I have to accept this money before I agree to go out of the house.”
Hearing this, Li Changfeng stopped the hand that was pushing back and put away the purse.
After seeing Li Changfeng accept it, Mr. Li continued with a calm expression: "These forty-five taels, we are two old men, eight taels, and your four brothers, each of whom should have ten taels. Considering that the old family has many children, So the eldest is twelve taels, and the third has a child, ten taels, and the youngest brother’s dowry and banquet totaling eight taels, so the second eldest gets seven taels of silver, what do you want to say about the third?”
After saying that, Youngest Li caught Young Third Li who didn't speak and asked, Third Youngest Li shook his head, "Only the second brother split up, I don't need the older brother."
"Of course not, I'm just telling you the money you deserve, so that you have some ideas! I have an explanation for the person next to you!"
"Ah! Father! Li Zheng and some clan uncles have arrived!"
Boss Li's voice came from the yard, Youngest Li and Old Man Li hurriedly took the lead and got up and went out to greet them.
Li is a man in his forties, with a thin body and a moustache. The three uncles are all in their seventies, and they are considered highly respected in the Li family.
He welcomed Li Zheng and others into the main room, lit the oil lamp, and served the old tea he picked at home.
"It's such a shame that I have to trouble Lizheng to run with a few clan uncles so late! But this matter has not been resolved in one day, and there are more discussions in the village, which is also harmful to our Li family."
Old man Li handed the dry smoke to Li Zheng and several clan uncles and said.
Li Zheng remembered the rumors in the village, and looked at Li Changfeng and Li Lao San who were standing behind Li Boss, and thoughtfully, "Then how do you want to deal with this matter?"
"Separate!"
The old man Li said firmly.
Several clan uncles winked at each other and nodded silently. This is the best way to deal with it, not to mention the old man Li, if such rumors spread, not only their reputations will be damaged, but also their reputations will be damaged. In the entire Li family, several uncles are full of children and grandchildren. There are quite a few unmarried grandchildren and grandchildren!
Li Zheng stroked his moustache and nodded. He originally wanted to talk to Old Man Li alone about this matter. After all, he was told vividly and vividly, and it would not be good for the whole village after a long time!
A clan uncle sitting on the left of Lizheng took the lead in raising the topic, "Then how do you plan to divide it? How do you divide it?"
When Li Changfeng heard this, he walked to Li Zheng and the others, and respectfully gave a junior salute.
"It's the younger generation who separated and left the house cleanly!" Before waiting for the person above to ask, Li Changfeng explained to Li Zheng and the others why he wanted to separate the house and leave the house cleanly.
"... Therefore, the younger generation voluntarily separates and leaves the house cleanly. I hope Li Zheng and the clan uncles understand and agree!"
After Li Zheng had a few words with several clan uncles alone, and after a few words with Li Laohan and Li Lao Yao, he finally decided to be the witness of this separation.
Li Laosan wrote the family separation document, which was signed by Li Zheng and several clan uncles, in duplicate, and finally Li Changfeng asked Li Laosan to add an article, "As long as the Li family elders are alive for one day, Li Changfeng will have to bear the responsibility of support, and there is no excuse! "
This move made Li Zheng and several clan uncles very satisfied. Even the old man Li, who was betting on the separation in his heart, the youngest Li was much more comfortable, and the second child was benevolent.
Li Zheng and several clan uncles politely refused Li Lao Yao's intention to stay for dinner, and each went back to their respective homes. As soon as they left, the atmosphere of the Li family changed a bit.
"The meal is ready, bring it all up! The children should be hungry!"
After hearing this, Mrs. Li's wife and Mrs. Li Wang brought the food to the table, and brought their children to the table with their man. Old man Li sat in the square, "Go and bring my wine!"
