Chapter 10: old woman 10
At the dinner table, except for a few children, the atmosphere between adults was a little depressed.
There are too many things for adults to consider, after all, brothers and sisters have to settle accounts.
It stands to reason that how the old lady's money is spent is up to her to decide.
But in this money, maybe 50% of the money they handed in, it should be divided equally among the three brothers, and now they all use it to repay Zhang Youcai, let alone daughter-in-law, they are brothers Yes, I will feel uncomfortable.
Ning Qiu didn't tell lies, and asked directly, "The third daughter-in-law, I gave these fifty taels to You Cai to pay off the debt, but there is also the hard work of the old family and the second family. What are your thoughts now."
"I, I..." The third daughter-in-law's face was sallow, she only felt bitterness on the tip of her tongue, and she didn't know what to say.
Fifty taels, it's not as simple as 50 wen, where can she find it. But if you don't give an explanation, the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law will definitely quit.
With all eyes on, the third daughter-in-law has no chance to escape even if she wants to escape, she raised her head and smiled, "Mother, eldest brother, second brother, these fifty-two, we will think There is a way to make up for this part of you. But now, I really don't have a penny on hand, so can you give me a little more grace?"
The implication of the words is that some of the money in the fifty taels is their third room money, so they need to pay back the big room and the second room.
However, Ning Qiu's next sentence directly broke her fantasy, and she even turned pale in an instant, her head was buzzing, and her body shook and almost fainted.
"Okay, then write the IOU. I didn't want to say it yet, but I will tell you now that these fifty taels were originally said by your father to be left to the three brothers when he was dying. Yes, each person gets 15 taels. Deduct the 15 taels that the third room should get, and my 5 taels. The eldest three, you have to give them back to the eldest and the second family, each of them 15 taels. You may have doubts about this number. ."
The third daughter-in-law bit the tip of her tongue, and the pain instantly made herself awake. She laughed extremely embarrassingly, and her words were weak, "Mother, I have no doubts, just follow your calculations."
This is already a good result, so I don't ask for another fifty taels.
For this decision, the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law did not expect it. After all, judging from the fact that the old lady favored the third brother, they thought they were fooled by the old lady this time. Well, I didn't expect the final approach to be fair.
Zhang Youfu wriggled his mouth, was silent for a few seconds, and then said, "Mother, let it go. The third brother has also been punished. I believe that after this time, he will not commit the second crime again. time."
And when he finished saying this, he was stomped under the table a few times. Without thinking, he knew that the eldest daughter-in-law must be dissatisfied, for fear that the old lady really agreed with this statement. Bucheng's eyes swept straight to Zhang Youfu.
The third daughter-in-law's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but look forward to it. Maybe the fair way the old lady just showed was just to show it, and that's what she was waiting for.
For Zhang Yougui's proposal, the second room was very quiet, didn't seem to care much, and didn't express her opinion, just listened silently, with a very low sense of presence.
"Okay, that's how things are decided. I'll let Smart help you to write the IOU, and then put your fingerprints on it. As for when to pay it off, you can discuss it in private." Ning Qiuyi Finalize the tone and don't want to delay.
The worst thing to do with family chores is to delay and not solve them. The longer you delay, the faster your heart will be separated.
Especially on the issue of money, let alone be confused.
The seemingly big incident was resolved as quickly as possible under Ning Qiu's vigorous and resolute actions.
When I was full of food and drink, I was about to disperse the tableware when someone knocked on the door.
Zhang Xiaohong got up to open the door and saw the village chief Liu Zhu standing at the door, "Grandpa Liu, why are you here?"
As she invited people in, she asked curiously.
Sanwan Village is backed by three mountains and a village crossed by a river. There are hundreds of people in the village, of which Zhang and Liu are the two surnames, so the village chief is also from these two surnames Pick a competent person to serve.
If there are other surnames in the village, it means that they came from other places in the past, and they became locals after they settled down for a long time.
Liu Zhu put his hands behind his back, walked into the house lightly, smiled and said, "This is just after lunch, we are all at home."
"Uncle Liu, I haven't seen you for a few days, what a good thing to see your red face." Zhang Youfu handed him a small bench and chatted casually.
The smile on his face never stopped, obviously something really good happened.
Liu Zhu stroked his white beard and shook his head mysteriously, "Speaking of which, in the final analysis, it is your family who has contributed the most. So I thought about it, I'd better go for a walk in person. Come, come to give you good news."
Annunciation? What kind of happy events can their family have, even the eldest Zhang Congming is not old enough to say kisses.
Liu Zhu's mother also came from the old lady's family, but she was a cousin who died long ago.
When the old lady was a widow, Liu Zhu had not yet become the village head. At that time, Liu Zhu's father was in charge, but he was not in charge. He was also threatened by the second **** in the village. Many people saw Seeing that the old lady was a widow, she wanted to bully her. Later, Liu Zhu became the mayor of the village. She had a tough personality and was able to protect her, which was much better.
"Sister, why are you in a hurry. You said that you are so old, why are you still so impulsive, you have to be steady and don't be in a hurry." He took a sip, his unstoppable smile wrinkled his face.
.
Older people like to play tricks.
You can tell at a glance that the old siblings are just playing around, so the others just laughed and didn't take it seriously.
Under the threat of Ning Qiu's eyes, Liu Zhu coughed lightly and returned to the purpose of this visit, "Last month, not many of the crops in our village were damaged. When the wild boar herds run down the mountain to steal food, they have been busy for so long but have nothing left, how many people have suffered."
Speaking of this, Liu Zhu is also angry. Anything that happens in the village will be solved by him as the village chief, but he will not catch wild boars, but food is the lifeblood of farmers. Son, he is also in a hurry.
