She gave birth to three daughters in a row, and was kicked out by her mother-in-law who favored boys

Chapter 472: The Village Discusses the Division of the Family

"Okay, then let's do as the boss says. We'll choose a good day at the end of the year and arrange an engagement for them." Zhao Dong agreed.

"Wow, Uncle Zhao Bei, are you going to marry my aunt? Are you going to buy us some candy?" A steady and warm face was the first to pop up.

Then, under Li Xin's secret instigation, Wenrou also followed Zhao Bei and pestered him for candy.

Li Xin also joined in the fun at this time, and insisted on asking Zhao Bei for candy.

Zhao Bei was so happy to be coaxed by the little ones at home, but at the same time, he felt his face getting hot because he had no candy on him.

Li Xin naturally saw his embarrassment and spoke up to help him out, "Uncle Bei, didn't you say during dinner that you and Brother Dong would go to the county to deliver goods tomorrow, and take uncle to the county as well?"

Wen Xin clapped her hands happily on the side, "Great, great, Uncle Bei will bring us some candy from the county tomorrow."

"Oh, Uncle Bei is getting engaged to Aunt, we have candy to eat!" Wenrou clapped her hands, and she didn't stop even though her palms were sore from clapping.

And just like that, amid the laughter of several children, the matter came to an end.

......

After the autumn harvest, apart from sowing winter wheat, the villagers have nothing to do according to previous years. Apart from preparing enough firewood for the New Year at home, the rest of the time they have to enter a stage of health preservation and rest.

rest?

It is impossible to go to Niutou Mountain this year.

The lime required by the county had not been delivered in full yet, and then the government placed another order for 10,000 kilograms. This made the people in Niutoushan Village very busy.

Although busy, there is only so much work to do every day, and the villagers can do it easily.

However, at this juncture, other villagers approached Wu Shan and asked, "Village head, the charcoal we made last year sold well in town. Do we need to make more this year? If so, can we prepare it now?"

For this matter, Wu Shan specially gathered all the villagers together. How could they not do something to make money?

If the people of Niutoushan Village don't agree, then let's do it!

However, at this juncture, two households in the village proposed to separate.

"Divide the family? Old Niu, you want to separate from your sons?" Wu Shan said to the old man driving an ox cart in the village.

"Hey, village chief, it's not us old couple who want to separate from our son, it's the eldest and second oldest sons who want to separate. They are already grown up, and in two or three years they will be fathers-in-law. My yard is small, and it's not convenient to squeeze together. I was planning to talk to you these days and let the second oldest son's house be separated. We will help them build three blue brick houses outside, so they can have their own houses."

No one present understood what Lao Niu Che meant, and they just kept agreeing with him, saying things like it was better to separate them.

"Village chief, you said that my second son has been separated from his family and has become an independent family in the village. Then can his family also participate in the charcoal making and lime burning in our village? We have to give our children some means of livelihood when they go out!"

As Lao Niu Che finished speaking, everyone present widened their eyes, and the crowd subconsciously retorted, "How can this be possible? If this is the case, wouldn't it be very unfair to other families?"

"Hey, what's unfair about this? You all have sons in your family, and your sons are grown up already. You can also divide the family property!"

After Lao Niu Che's words, several sons or brothers present at the scene began to get excited. They were not stupid and figured out the key almost instantly.

If the family does not split up, each family member only works one job and earns one cent. If the family splits up, wouldn't the brothers be able to work every day, and each family will earn money.

Several groups. After he said this, several families in the village also proposed to split up at this time.

Even Wu Shan's heart was moved. After all, his three sons were already grown up, and the youngest in the third son's house was five years old.

Logically speaking, it is time for them to go out and live on their own, but this matter was not mentioned before. Now seems to be a good time, and everyone thinks so.

This matter has been brought up, and the charcoal burning issue has been put on hold for the time being. Wu Shan gathered a few elderly people in the village to discuss the matter behind closed doors for two days, and even the young woman Gu Qingqing was called in.

After hearing what they said, Gu Qingqing didn't think there was any disadvantage.

"Uncle Wu, all uncles." Qi Yi's eyes fell on Wen Dacheng and she nodded as a greeting.

"Whether they divide or not, there are pros and cons. I think you have been upset about this matter these past few days. I just want to say one thing. As long as they still live in Niutoushan Village, what's the harm in dividing the family?! In the end, isn't it all about making more money?"

Everyone present understood this truth, but they still felt a little reluctant in their hearts.

They thought that their eldest grandson would get married in two years and couldn't continue living with his uncles and aunts.

After a while of discussion, they finally came to a conclusion: split!

Anyone who is selected this time can participate in charcoal making in the village.

"Uncle Wu, in order to prevent other households in the village from taking advantage of the situation, you should tell them that only those who have built houses and gone out alone can participate. This will also be a protection for those who have not separated from the family. Otherwise, while they are talking about separating the family, in reality several people from one family will take up several places, which will not be good." Gu Qingqing added at the end.

Zhao Dong just settled in the village this year. Normally, he could also participate in the village's charcoal-making as a single household, but they have to build a house soon and plow the land, so there are too many things to do.

They did not occupy the quota according to the principle of one person per household, but rather six brothers shared one quota.

In the following days, Niutoushan Village was quite lively. More than a dozen households in the village chose to split up and built houses for their children.

I was a little slow and later I couldn’t buy blue bricks.

If you can't buy blue bricks, just build a mud house. At most, you can pay a few more taels of silver and let them rebuild it later.

The village is busy and outside the village is also busy.

The imperial archway at the intersection leading to Gu Qingqing's house has also been built.

Especially on the day of completion, Gu Qingqing's family wanted to hold a memorial ceremony. Wen Wuyan, who had just left the county to study for only two days, ran back and even killed a pig for the occasion.

Chickens, ducks and fruits filled two tables.

Wu Shan organized the villagers to come and worship. How should I put it? This was the closest they had ever been to the imperial gift.

Especially as the red cloth covering it fell, the onlookers all knelt down when they saw the entire appearance of the archway and the four big characters "Shan Geng Family" on it.

After the ceremony was over, Gu Qingqing directly divided the pig that had just been slaughtered among everyone.

It's a nice name to let everyone in the village share in the joy.

Later that autumn, spacious and bright blue brick houses were built one after another in Niutoushan Village.

The other villagers around are so envious!

Especially the men in the village who have not yet married have become the focus of the matchmaker.
