Leisurely little peasant woman 008, let's split up and ask for collection
"Grandma, it turns out you had another aunt for us? But she wasn't raised in the Liang family, was she raised in someone else's home?" The seven-year-old girl's eyes were shiny and black, blinking innocently. Yet her words made people think of improper things.
Little girls wouldn't think much of it, after all they are just kids.
But it's different for adults.
Raising a concubine in someone else's home? Isn't this Liang Wangshi failing to uphold wifely virtue?
Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and then our gaze turned back to Liang Wang's, filled with suspicion.
In this era, it's not a new thing for widows in rural areas to remarry, but there are also women who become widowed at a young age and can remain chaste for the rest of their lives, which is even more admirable.
Li Wang brought her son and remarried, still so arrogant, originally letting the people of Lao Lang Dong Village dislike her, now making such a fuss again.
No one wants their child to tell lies.
"Good grief, Iron Hammer's wife! How did you manage to have a daughter outside?" asked a nosy woman.
Li Wang's family was so frightened that they almost fainted.
At first she didn't quite understand Liang Tian's words, but as soon as she heard this sentence, there was no longer anything she didn't understand.
"You little scamp, what are you plotting against me? Just wait and see if I don't rip your mouth apart!" Liang Wangshi said as she lunged forward, but the over-fifty-year-old woman didn't look sickly in the slightest.
Liáng Tián tián's heart was coldly laughing, now you also let him taste the bitter fruit of being slandered.
He dodged into the crowd and Liang Tian Tian deliberately trembled, saying: "I didn't talk nonsense, it was you who told Lao Liang's family to have children, I didn't see any aunts." One sentence made everyone laugh and cry.
I thought this little girl knew something, but emotions are all for a sentence.
However, there was a woman with a slow reaction who asked: "Iron hammer's mother, how many men have you married? And what about that little girl?"
Liang Tian's head hung low, his mouth twitching, this is really frustrating, but I love the feeling.
"What kind of nonsense are you talking about?" Liang Wangshi also got anxious, "You've been married to several men, how can you talk like that."
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" The woman frowned immediately, "I'm just asking out of kindness, why are you taking it as if I'm meddling in your family's business?" Kindness is being treated like a donkey's liver and lungs, indeed good people get no reward.
"What are you doing here? Mind your own business!"
This Liang Wangshi is also a straightforward and reckless person, she vented her anger and dragged everyone into it.
Liang Tian Tian hastily said, "It's us siblings who invited the clan elders to preside over our affairs." He then nudged his two brothers and continued, "Our mother has passed away, and Father is not at home, leaving only the four of us children. We kindly request that the clan elders take charge and arrange for Mother's burial. Everyone can see the situation we siblings are in; Grandma is advanced in age, and we don't dare to trouble her with hard work. So, please, clan elders, preside over our affairs and let this branch of the family split off, so as not to burden Grandma."
The little sister actually wants to separate from her family.
The first to react were Liang Mancang and Liang Mantou, both of whom looked at Xiaomei, wanting to speak but hesitating.
The Turkic soldiers took away the grain, and there was not much grain left at home. They were just a few children, if they really separated, what would they rely on for a living?
Liang Mancang looked at his younger brother and sister with a furrowed brow.
Liang Tian Tian seemed to have noticed their worries and said softly, "Big brother, second brother, as long as we have hands and feet, we will not starve to death. Believe me, our days will get better." This was not Liang Tian Tian bragging, but rather she had been vaguely sensing that the treasure pearl she swallowed in her previous life seemed to be undergoing some strange changes within her body.
The two children may not know about Liang Tian's treasure, but they knew their status in the Liang family and nodded in unison after a moment of thought.
Li Mancang said, "Please, uncles and elders, take charge. Our branch of the family wants to split off and live separately." This division of the household wasn't a good reputation, but fortunately they were just a few children, and everyone saw how difficult it was for Li Wangshi and her son, so no one thought it was a great sin.
The elderly person advised: "Children, I know you've been wronged, and it's for your mother to take revenge. But after all, you're just children, what will you rely on to live if the family really splits up? Winter is coming soon, and every household has run out of food from this autumn's harvest. If you really split up, how can these four children survive?" Not to mention that the Liang family doesn't have much wealth, even if they did, would they take out silver to buy food for these four children who want to split up?
Liang Mantou was quick-witted, and since he had decided to separate the family, he immediately said: "All of you uncles and elders are good to us siblings, we know that we siblings don't want to separate, but my mother has been framed by this person for no reason." Liang Mantou pointed at Liang Tiechui with a pained expression and said: "As children, we cannot get justice for our mother, nor do we want to live with him. We would rather separate and live on our own."
Li Mancang also echoed: "Right, we will separate and live on our own. I'll take care of my younger siblings, uncles and aunts can rest assured."
The two children were determined and resolute in their decision to separate from home.
Li Wang and his mother exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.
Just worrying about how to make a living for these four children, they took the initiative to separate from the family. This is indeed... having a pillow sent over while dozing off, an unexpected joy.
Li Tiechui didn't bother to bring up past grievances either, and hypocritically said: "I'm telling you, Eldest Brother and Second Brother, dividing the family property isn't a small matter. Why don't we wait until your father comes back before discussing it?" But in his heart, he was thinking: It's been four years since he left, I reckon that deadbeat father of yours is probably already dead outside.
"Dad's not home, big brother has the final say, Second Uncle, you don't have to worry about it." Liang Tian Tian said crisply.
"Yes, I am the master of my own home." Liang Man Cang subconsciously puffed out his chest.
All of you clan elders look at me, I look at you, and we all think this matter is difficult to handle.
Third Uncle looked at Liang Wangshi and said, "You also agree to divide the family?"
Li Wang said, "These children want to separate households. By right, I shouldn't stop them, but if they really do separate, these few kids don't know how to live their lives. When the time comes and they encounter some hardship, won't they still have to rely on us? In my opinion, it's better not to separate in the first place." Li Wang feigned concern, saying, "Bao Bao is only three years old, so young, who will take care of him then?"
Liáng Tián couldn't help but look at Liáng Wáng with newfound respect.
Who says villagers don't understand military strategy? The Liang Wang clan's move of retreating in order to advance was used very well.
I thought this old lady was ignorant of the world, but now it seems that, yes, there is great wisdom among rural people.
It seems I've gone off track.
Liáng Tián Tián understood Liáng Wáng's thoughts clearly, and immediately said: "Don't worry, Grandma, we have me to take care of Ball Ball. Although we are young, our family has older brothers, and besides, aren't there also uncles in the village? If something happens, we can let them make decisions, definitely won't let us suffer losses."
Liang Tian Tian's words were stern and just, but actually he just wanted to divide the family property as soon as possible.
The little girl muttered to herself: Let's divide the family property, let's hurry up and divide it, so I can earn money early!
