Chapter 18

   When Mr. Yang heard Liu Changmin's angry shouts, he suddenly felt that although he drove away Mrs. Li, he had let his son and himself be distracted.

Looking at Liu Changmin, Mrs Yang softly persuaded: "Son! I'm not doing it for you. You are in your thirties and you don't have a son. Mrs. Li hasn't had a child for nearly ten years. The incense in your long house is about to break, what will you use to inherit the lineage in the future?"

Liu Changming knelt down in front of Mrs Yang with a plop, and kowtowed and pleaded: "Mother, the third brother's family already has two sons, and our old Liu family already has a daughter, mother, I beg you, you will let me and Amei, let's live a good life! Let Laidi recruit a son-in-law to come back later."

Looking at the son who was kneeling on the ground, Yang sighed coldly: "It's okay, it's okay, you were blinded by that bitch's ecstasy soup, I won't care about you in the future, but I can tell you , You don't have a son to inherit the family, so you can only move out and live in the old house to the third family."

  Liu Changmin breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, thinking to himself: Ah Mei often said that she would rather move out than live at home, so forget it if she doesn't give her the old house!

   After thinking about it, Liu Changmin looked at the Yang family and said, "Mother, give it to the third child! I don't blame you for letting me have no son!"

Seeing Liu Changming's relaxed look, Mrs Yang was furious, "Okay, then I'll ask your third brother to come to the clan elders, let's make it clear that you don't have a son to inherit the family, and you don't own anything in the family. Don't blame me for being a ruthless mother."

  Liu Changmin was also a little angry when he saw that Mr. Yang was going to kick him out. He stubbornly looked at Mrs. Yang: "Mother, you ask the third brother to call. Even if I go out of the house, I will never regret it."

   Yang pointed at Liu Changmin's nose: "Okay! So you want to split up with me!"

  Liu Changmin twisted his head and looked at the Yang family: "Mother, you are reasonable, why did you blame me when you said you wanted to invite the elders of the clan?"

   "You, you disobedient son." Mrs. Yang rushed out angrily and shouted loudly, "Changsheng, go and call your uncle, the patriarch, and the clan master, the old lady wants to split up the family."

After hearing this, Liu Changsheng ran out of the house, "Mother, do you really agree to the separation? I just said it! The house should have been divided a long time ago, and the house is so big, the children are so big they are still crowded together. It's not a solution!" Liu Changsheng looked at Yang's increasingly dark face, and pointed at the gate of the courtyard with a smirk, "Then can I go and call?"

   Yang looked at Liu Changsheng's eager expression, suddenly felt that his insistence was meaningless, and waved his hand in frustration: "Get out now."

  Yang felt that Liu Changmin forced her to split up her family, so she only gave Liu Changmin two grains of millet on the grounds that Liu Changmin had no children, and also gave her 800 yuan of pension money every year, so Liu Changmin would be swept out of the house.

   The patriarch felt that this kind of division was unheard of, and he wanted to help Liu Changmin, so he said to Liu Changmin: "Changmin, your mother said that you have no children and will not give you the house and land, what do you say?"

"I, I...," Liu Changmin hesitated, but when he thought about the incompatibility between Yang Shi and Li Mei, he thought: If he really has no children in the future, his family property will be eaten up by the clansmen in a hundred years. , it is better not to come clean now.

Liu Changmin gritted his teeth and said, "Clan Master, my mother has separated the family like this, and I have already left the household. I will only have a son in the future. If I don't have a son, I will ask Laidi to recruit a son-in-law to come back. After a hundred years, the clan will not come. My family eats and divides my things."

  The patriarch looked at Uncle Liu Changmin, "His Uncle, what do you think of what Changmin said?"

   Uncle Liu Changmin nodded and said, "Changmin is right, let's just write the score book as he said!"

  The patriarch wrote the book, and asked Yang's mother and son to press their fingerprints and hand it over to Liu Changmin's mother and son.

  Liu Changmin took the book and kowtowed a few times towards Mrs. Yang, "Mother, I'll pack up my things when I go back and find Amei and the two children. I'll send the pension money to you on time."

   Yang raised his head and didn't look at Liu Changmin, so Liu Changmin had to go home and pack up his bedding and clothes and carry it to Xishan Village.

  Li Yu and Li Mei were drying wolfberry at home while the sun was shining. When Li Mei heard a knock on the door, Li Mei ran to open the courtyard door and was stunned when she saw Liu Changmin standing at the door with a quilt and a sack.

  Liu Changmin looked at Li Mei and smiled honestly, "Amei, my mother separated us. Now I only have two stone millets and nothing else. Do you still want me?"

  Li Meiling was there, not understanding the meaning of Liu Changmin's words.

   Li Yu laughed after hearing this, "Auntie, let your uncle come in first, you can't tell if you're standing at the door!"

   "Father, mother, let's go in and talk." Zhao Di and Laidi hurriedly pulled Liu Changmin and Li Mei into the room.

   Liu Changmin looked at Li Yu with a blushing face, "Xiaoyu, my uncle has asked you to take in your aunt and them for a few more days. When I go to work to earn some money and come back to repair two houses, I will pick up your aunt and cousin back."

   Li Yu looked at him and smiled: "Uncle, aunt and cousins ​​live in my house, I can't ask for it! Uncle, aunt, talk to me."

   After Li Yu finished speaking, he took Zhaodi and Laidi to the backyard to collect wolfberry, leaving the place to Li Mei and his wife to talk.

Liu Changmin told Li Mei about the family split, and Li Mei was furious, "We worked so hard to plant rice at home, and we harvested it just as soon as you saw it. Why is your mother so ruthless, and she gave us two stones of millet to give us one share of the land. Not an inch."

   Liu Changmin comforted in a low voice, "Amei, we have hands and feet. When I go to help people to earn some money and come back to build two thatched cottages, I will open up a few more acres of wasteland and I will live a good life slowly."

   Li Mei gave Liu Changmin a white look, "It's all divided up, that's the only way it can be, alas! After the division, no one will discuss the two children again."

  Li Mei asked Liu Changmin to put things in the wing, and went to the backyard to tell Li Yu and Zhao Di sisters about the separation.

Li Mei looked at Li Yu embarrassedly, "Yu'er, it seems that my aunt's family is going to disturb you and Ah Qing for some time, and it seems that we will be busy with farming. When your uncle goes out to help and earn some money, we will return. The village buys land to build a house.”

"Aunt, how much can you earn while waiting for your uncle to work? I'm afraid I won't even have enough money to buy land after a busy season," Li Yu pointed to the wolfberry in the drying mat, "Look at these wolfberries, you can make money if you sell them. The house is being repaired."

   Li Mei waved her hands again and again after hearing this, "No, no, Yu'er, how can my aunt ask for your money? It's right for us, mother and son, to eat, wear and do things here."

  Li Yu pulled Li Mei and smiled: "Aunt, we are a family! Can't divide like this, how much can I pick by myself? I originally planned to give half of it to you."

   Li Mei took Li Yu gratefully, "Even if your aunt borrowed it from you, didn't you say you want to open up the wasteland in the back! We'll help you open up the wasteland to work and pay back the money."

   Li Yu thought to himself after hearing this: I agree to do this first, and then I can count the wages to them later.

After thinking about it, Li Yu nodded and replied: "Auntie, just do as you said. I also want my uncle to go to the village to help me collect some red peppers, beans and soybeans. We will make hot sauce, meat sauce, bean paste and soybean paste. to sell."

"Okay, every family has chili peppers. You can buy two or three catties for a penny. I can also make soy bean paste. Let your uncle collect and help us make it at home. It's just that salt is not easy to buy. You should ask the salt seller first. How much can you buy?"

   Li Yu remembered that this was ancient times when Li Mei talked about it, and salt was something that was controlled. It seemed that he had to buy the salt first and then make the sauce.

   "Auntie, I'll bring some wolfberries to the town pharmacy and ask, and drop by the place that sells salt and ask."

   Li Mei nodded, "Go ahead! It's not too late to ask for it first."
