The villagers hurriedly sent people to check. Although Yuan Xu's leg was fine, she couldn't walk because of the pain.

Old man Yuan was directly crushed and passed out. Among the people who were sent by the villagers to press him, it was the pain that woke them up.

As soon as the man opened his eyes, he pointed at the four in-laws, "You, you did it on purpose."

"We didn't mean it, and we don't know who pushed us. I'm sorry, my in-laws."

Old man Yuan knew that if his mouth continued to be stubborn, although the two of them would be safe, they would definitely lose an arm or a leg.

This group of people came here just to separate the family for their daughter.

The onlookers knew in their hearts, but the old man Yuan's family was too unpopular, and no one turned to them.

When the village chief asked them again, "Is this family divided?"

Old man Yuan closed his eyes, he could only grit his teeth and squeeze out one word, "Score!"

The head of the Yuan family said: "The money given to you by the fifth child is for you to take care of yourself. We don't want to divide it. You just divide the money we have handed over to the public all these years. Just divide the land."

"Why, the money is ours."

"The money was earned by our brothers. If the children and adults in the family are sick, you don't take a dime out. We eat bad food, and you eat good food. We haven't spent a penny in the public. The money must be divided. .”

"I just don't care, what can you do with me?"

It's really healed. The scars forgot the pain, and the pain in the legs has not passed yet, and Yuan Xu still can't see the form clearly.

I don't know who came again, and the people around immediately jumped on Yuan Xu's again, overwhelming the two of them again.

This time, the two screamed in pain, clutching their arms and screaming. Old man Yuan and Yuan Xu clearly felt that someone hit them with something.

Now the two of them were completely frightened. They looked at the four sons with murderous intent in their eyes.

"Divide, divide, the money is divided,"

He hurriedly responded and stopped shouting.

The village chief asked them to follow them to the kang cabinet in the house and retrieve the silver they had saved for many years.

Excluding the one hundred taels of silver given by the Yuan family, the two of them had saved no less than six hundred taels of silver.

The land deed is fifty acres, and the village chief swallowed his saliva looking at these family properties, and thought to himself, these two old things are really good, and they have praised so many family properties for so many years.

"Fifty acres of land, divided into five parts, ten acres for a family, six hundred taels of silver, one hundred taels for a family of four sons, and the rest for the elderly. From now on, each family will be given 100 Wen per month. A suit of clothes, plus three hundred cash for the festival, usually three meals a day, the four of you discussed taking turns to deliver the meals, so that the elderly must not go hungry."

"What we eat, what they eat, we don't abuse, but we don't eat and drink all day long."

"Naturally."

"The village chief's division is fair, we have no objection, let's divide it like this."

"Okay, that's it."

The village chief made the decision, and the old couple of the Yuan family didn't resist. Seeing that the money they had saved for so many years was divided, their hearts were bleeding.

Today, the four sons are determined to separate their families. Even if they sue the mayor and the yamen, it is estimated that the sons will also separate their families. It may be yourself.

After all, he wasn't so stupid as to want money rather than his life, and this family was finally divided.

Once the family is separated, the two old members of the Yuan family will no longer have the stamina to make a fuss, just like a deflated ball.

They have five sons, and all five sons have separated from them and hate them. They are ruthless, and their son has learned to be more ruthless than them now.

With the separation documents, the sons gave them pension money every month and cooked meals for them, and they couldn't find anything if they wanted to make a fuss.

Yuan Jiaqi didn't know, even if he knew, he would only applaud.

Fortunately, the two old men are not very old, and their bodies are strong. They have more than two hundred taels of silver in their hands and ten acres of land, which can be rented out without planting them themselves.

But I don’t have to worry about eating and drinking. If I want to improve my life, I can just spend my own money. Nothing will happen for the time being.

In Tianshui Town, there are no these families to make trouble, and the people's life is very peaceful.

On the side of the Zhennan archway, the ground was broken on the 26th of the first lunar month, and a few firecrackers were set off for this purpose.

They first surrounded the 35-acre homestead, and Qiao Mai planned to rent out the remaining 65-acre.

She asked the mayor to find three honest tenant farmers, and rented out 60 acres of wheat fields for a period of five years. The row of five acres of land near the back wall of the house was reserved. She planned to use it for planting greenhouses in winter and summer. Plant some rare fruits and vegetables, so the five acres are also enclosed in the house.

For two seasons of grain a year, she only needs 300 catties of grain per mu, which also includes a grain tax of 100 catties per mu, and they get as much as they grow, which is their net income.

The rent was lower than the market rent, and the three tenant farmers were very happy. If they charged an extra 150 jin for one mu of land, then 20 mu would be 3,000 jin, and two seasons would be 6,000 jin, which is enough for a family to chew for a year.

If the service is good, you can charge more. The 60 mu of the Qiao family is close to the water source, which saves the trouble of the tenant farmers.

Whenever he had time, Qiao Mai took Ling'er to the homestead to see it.

It was almost the same every day, and dozens of workers didn't stop for a moment. When Qiao Mai was in a good mood, he would go to the bun shop and ask them to deliver buns and soup to improve the workers' meal.

The workers all praised the master for his kindness, and Qiao Mai's reputation became even better now.

Not only people in Tianshui Town praised it, but even people from other places gave it a thumbs up.

On February 2, Long raised his head. This day is Linger's birthday. Qiao Mai didn't say anything to anyone. He made her a small cake at noon for the noodles he let her eat in the morning, and made her some edible ones at night. dishes.

One-year-old Ling'er can already eat.

Xiao Shou Xing sat in front of the kang table and looked decent, while Qiao Mai was feeding her fish.

Ling'er clapped her little hands happily, and a sound suddenly came out of her little mouth.

"Daddy!"

Qiao Mai heard a black line, "First call mother rich first, first call father poor half street, you girl, how can you call father first."

"whee."

"Call mother, otherwise I won't cook something delicious for you tomorrow morning."

"whee."

"Do you miss Daddy?"

"Ang Ang, brother?"

"They won't be back until the end of the month, and then we can see them, hurry up, call your mother?"

Ling'er stared and blinked several times, "Cool~"

"Well, it's okay to be cold, the sound is almost the same, so it's called mother-in-law."

Qiao Mai never can't help but force children, you can shout whatever you want, as long as you like it, and you are happy.

When the mother and daughter were full, she let the child walk back and forth on the floor of the house to digest what she ate.

Although it was spring, it was still very cold outside, and the charcoal basin in the house had not been turned off, so it was warm.

After coaxing the child to sleep, she checked the yard gate, stable, and quail before bringing the two puppies into the house.

The three sons are not at home, they all sleep in the same room with Qiao Mai.

But there was some movement outside, and the little ones were very vigilant.

I have to say that it is worth raising these two puppies. In winter, there were several groups of thieves who were on the outside of the yard. When they heard dogs barking in the yard, they went elsewhere.

Neighbors around followed suit, avoiding many unnecessary losses.

On the night of Ling'er's birthday, the thieves came again, and the two puppies were humming in front of the kang, which was very abnormal.

Qiao Mai opened his eyes and immediately moved Ling'er to the space, took out a silent pistol and put it in his arms, holding a stick in one hand and touching the gun with the other hand.

When the two puppies saw their master got up, they immediately hid in the dark with their voices silent.

They took a look at the door of each room, they must have stepped on it a little bit, and they also found out that there is only one woman and one child in the family.

Or maybe it was an acquaintance, this time five thieves came in at once.

All of them covered their faces with black cloths, some with machetes in their hands, some with daggers, and tiptoed straight to the bedroom where Qiao Mai slept.
