Shen Siyue refused categorically: "No, one pound a day, you must give it to me until the beginning of next spring when I plant the land, otherwise no deal."
Shen Siyue knew that there were only a few kinds of food at home: corn kernels that had not yet been pressed into flour, corn flour that had already been ground into flour, and sweet potatoes and potatoes.
If she was given 100 kilograms of corn kernels, the flour she ground might yield less than 70 kilograms.
No talk, no talk. Shen Siyue refused again and again, which made Old Man Shen more and more angry.
Old man Shen pointed at Shen Siyue and couldn’t think of any more vicious words to scold her.
This damn girl has a thicker skin than the courtyard wall. It doesn't matter what you scold her for.
Without waiting for Old Man Shen to organize his words, Shen Siyue raised her hand and nonchalantly clicked her fingernails and said, "Damn it! So many people are waiting. If you have to discuss it with the whole family before making a decision, I don't have time to wait for you."
Old man Shen’s head was already buzzing with anger from Shen Siyue today, and now he was provoked by her again, and he really said, “Then I’ll give you a hundred pounds, and now I’ll see what else you can say?”
Shen Siyue immediately stood up straight and looked at him happily: "Okay, then 70 kilograms of cornmeal and 20 kilograms of sweet potatoes. A gentleman's word is as good as a promise. Whoever goes back on his word is a dog that eats shit."
In April, a prompt decision was made to determine the ration ratio.
At this moment, Liu Changshan's son also came, bringing with him the paper and pen that Liu Changshan requested.
Liu Changshan took the paper and pen, pondered for a moment, and said to Old Man Shen and Shen Siyue: "Let me talk about it first, do you think there is anything inappropriate?"
"Today, Shen Zhifu and Shen Siyue are breaking off relations. Shen Zhifu will give Shen Siyue 100 kilograms of food rations, 70 kilograms of cornmeal, 30 kilograms of sweet potatoes, and a jar of pickles. Shen Siyue must return the food within the next year..."
At this point, Liu Changshan paused and asked the two: "When do you plan to move out next year?"
It will be cold for more than a month after the Chinese New Year, Shen Siyue thought about it and said, “Move out in early May of the solar calendar next year.”
Afraid that Old Man Shen would speak, Shen Siyue said directly again: “If he doesn’t agree, then let him find someone to repair the house outside the village, otherwise no need to talk.”
When Old Man Shen heard that he was asked to repair the house, he was really angry and laughed at Shen Siyue’s whimsical idea.
"May is May. I agree. If you want to trick me into repairing your house, dream on!"
Shen Siyue raised her eyebrows and said to Liu Changshan cheerfully, “Grandpa, please write it quickly, we both agree.”
Liu Changshan had no choice but to continue: "Chen Siyue is required to move out in early May next year, and we will have no further contact. Do you have anything else to add?"
At this time, Shen Siyue suddenly turned around and asked Shen Xiashu: "What about you? Do you want me to take care of you in the future?"
As long as Old Man Shen is around, Chen Xiashu rarely speaks and listens to his father in everything.
At this time, Shen Siyue asked him with a dark face: “You still have the face to talk to me? I don’t have an unfilial daughter like you.”
Shen Siyue was not at all impressed by their repeated accusations that she was an unfilial daughter. She turned to Liu Changshan and said, "One more thing. Shen Xiashu will sever the father-daughter relationship with me."
At this point, Shen Siyue turned around and asked Li Xiang who was hiding behind the crowd: "Mom, what about you? Are you going with me? Or with him?"
People all looked at Li Xiang at the same time.
Li Xiang lowered her head and said timidly, "I...I don't have a daughter like you either."
Shen Siyue was not sad after hearing this, asking her was just a formality.
"Master, add her to the list. Li Xiang and I will sever our mother-daughter relationship."
Liu Changshan looked at this family, shook his head and sighed in his heart.
"Okay, anything else to add?"
Shen Siyue thought for a moment, and then said, "Write about the dilapidated house, so that the villagers won't have to argue about it later. Just write that I will live in the house temporarily before I get married."
"Also, my household registration will be moved out of the Shen family, and I will receive the work points I earn from work myself."
"From now on, Shen Jiaqiao and I will go our separate ways and have nothing to do with each other anymore."
Liu Changshan looked at Old Man Shen and seeing that he had no objection, he repeated it orally. Since neither side had anything to add, they began to write on paper.
He wrote three copies in total, one for the Shen family, one for Shen Siyue, and the other for him.
In addition to the handprints of Shen Zhifu and Shen Siyue, as well as the handprints of Liu Changshan, Liu Zhongli, Liu Zhongyi, and Liu Yushan, Shen Siyue also forced everyone in the Shen family to press their handprints.
Shen Siyue happily took the document and explained to the indignant people of the Shen family: “Don’t blame me for the trouble. This is also in case I become rich in the future, and your Shen family shamelessly rubs up again?”
Old Man Shen: "Humph, you are the only one who is rich? I just hope you don't starve to death and then shamelessly ask to go back to the Shen family!"
Shen Siyue is in a good mood now: “Then you can rest assured, who will ask who in the future, we will just wait and see.”
"While the witnesses are here, can you please give me my rations?"
Old Man Shen pulled the key off his belt, threw it to the eldest brother, and said to the second brother, "Go, get the scale."
Shen Chunshu took the key and walked towards the cabinet where the grain was stored.
When it came to future food rations, Wang Huilian, who had just been scolded, couldn't help but follow her master closely.
Even Li Xiaoqin, who had always been cautious and cautious, couldn't help but move her feet towards that direction.
Although we have agreed on 70 kilograms of cornmeal, it can be a little more or a little less, as long as it reaches 100 kilograms!
Wang Huilian has the same idea as Li Xiaoqin.
She squeezed next to Shen Chunshu and whispered to him, "Just take half of the cornmeal. I'll go to the cellar and use sweet potatoes to make up the rest."
Weighing the sweet potatoes, 50 pounds is not much.
Without waiting for his reply, Wang Huilian turned around and took her youngest son with her and left: "Come with me to the cellar and bring up some sweet potatoes."
Of course, Shen Chunshu was unwilling to give Shen Siyue more cornmeal, so he deliberately slowly poured the cornmeal out of the cabinet.
In the cellar, Wang Huilian picked out the small, rotten and bad sweet potatoes and filled a basket with them, then handed it to her youngest son who was waiting at the cellar door.
The mother and son were in a hurry, and finally when Shen Chunshu was about to give up, they carried the sweet potatoes into the house.
Wang Huilian urged, “Weigh it, weigh it, weigh it quickly, the sooner you finish, the easier it will be.”
Seeing Wang Huilian's impatient look, Shen Siyue didn't indulge her at all. She walked directly to the sweet potato basket, reached in and rummaged through it, picking out all the bad ones.
This immediately made Wang Huilian dissatisfied: "Why are you so picky? Aren't they all the same? Which one can't be eaten? It's good enough to give it to you!"
Shen Siyue directly retorted to her: “Since you can eat it, then keep it for yourself, it’s all the same anyway.”
