The cicadas in the forest seemed to be chirping even louder.
It was as if they were applauding the two people who were still singing and being intimate.
Use singing and applause to cover up the blushing and heartbeating sounds.
For half an hour, Shen Jiaojiao lay on the man's shoulder and almost died of exhaustion.
I never knew that kissing could be so tiring.
"Third brother, are you okay?"
Xu Mo loosened his grip on Shen Jiaojiao and let out a long breath.
"Yeah, much better."
Shen Jiaojiao raised her head and looked at him.
The man's muscles were relaxed, his lips were rosy, and his eyes were clear with satisfaction.
This way, he looks even more handsome.
Shen Jiaojiao stretched out her soft and boneless little hands to help Xu Mo fasten the buttons on his chest.
"Then let's go back!"
Xu Mo grabbed Shen Jiaojiao's little hand, squeezed it hard, and then let go.
By the time the two rode their bicycles back to Yonggan Village, it was almost noon.
Xu Mo did not bring Shen Jiaojiao into the village, but stopped outside the village and let Shen Jiaojiao ride back alone.
And he took a long detour to go home.
After all, it's easy for a single man and a single woman to be criticized for such a long time away from home.
Shen Jiaojiao's cycling skills are not very good.
She felt like she hadn't ridden a bicycle for a long time, and she rode it awkwardly at first.
I almost fell into the ditch.
But fortunately, she had a good understanding, and the car only tilted for a distance and then went smoothly.
Wait until we get back to the Youth League Home.
Everyone in the Youth League Institute saw Shen Jiaojiao pushing back a brand new bicycle.
For a long time, the fact that Shen Jiaojiao bought a bicycle was still talked about with great relish by the old ladies in the village.
Xu Mo took a detour back home.
But as soon as I entered the house, I noticed the subtle atmosphere in the house.
On weekdays, there are many children in the house, and every moment is filled with laughter.
But today, all the kids were washing vegetables together obediently without saying a word.
The two men, Xu Zhengyang and Xu Fugui, stood in the yard with heavy hearts.
The eldest and second sisters-in-law also said nothing.
He seems to be busy, but in fact he is absent-minded.
Xu Mo had a bad feeling.
Liu Xiaolan came out of the room at this time.
"The third brother is back. When he comes back, let's settle the accounts properly, so that some people won't think that I, the head of the family, have secretly kept many good things."
This is just short of directly naming the person.
Zhou Ying was filled with anger.
Now it is implied again, and he is obviously not convinced.
She had no intention of playing dumb any longer, but since they were already at loggerheads, she was too lazy to continue.
"Mom, don't make insinuations. Since you've decided to divide the family, do it quickly!" If they don't divide it, she'll collapse.
Liu Xiaolan snorted coldly and shouted to Xu Meili, "Meili, go find the captain and ask him to help us get a certificate."
Xu Meili ran out of the kitchen and headed towards the captain's house.
Xu Mo frowned.
Didn’t he not come back last night?
How come there are such earth-shaking changes in the family?
It has gotten to the point where the family has to split up?
What is happening?
Xu Fugui came back half an hour earlier than Xu Mo, and he already knew what happened last night.
So he walked over to Xu Mo, pulled him out of the yard, and briefly told him what happened last night.
Xu Mo never thought it was because of his sister-in-law.
My sister-in-law is usually very kind to others.
I have never seen her being fussy.
How come it changed suddenly!
Now that things have come to this, the only option is to separate.
In fact, he didn't want Jiaojiao to marry into the family and cause chaos.
Now the people in the family have become disloyal. If the family is not divided, there will definitely be a lot of trouble in the future.
It's not necessarily a bad thing to break up early.
But if the family is divided, how will the eldest and second brothers survive?
He has a very good relationship with his two brothers.
We have never had an argument since we were young.
Xu Mo returned to the yard, pulled Liu Xiaolan back into the room, and stuffed two hundred yuan into her pocket.
"Mom, I know what's going on at home. My eldest and second brothers can't make ends meet if the family property is divided. This money was earned today. We'll share it when the time comes."
Liu Xiaolan squeezed Xu Mo's arm.
"You usually look quite smart, but how come you become stupid when the time comes? Our family is poor to begin with, the poorest in the village. We are lucky enough not to have any foreign debts. How could we come up with so much money?
If people knew that you were speculating and profiteering outside, you would lose your life. "
What Liu Xiaolan said makes sense.
Xu Mo was also concerned and confused.
Maybe the girl's mind was confused after kissing her and she hasn't recovered yet.
Forget it, everyone has their own way of living. What happens in the future depends on fate!
The captain arrived soon.
He is eating at home.
Then I heard that the Xu family was going to split up.
He quickly put down his bowl and chopsticks and came over.
He is the captain, he knows everything!
If the Xu family splits up, it would be difficult for the first and second wives to raise children.
This...why can't you get over it?
But as an outsider, he couldn't interfere in other people's affairs.
Just do your job.
"Since you have decided to split up the family, then do it in a fair and just manner. All the things in the family should be put out in the open."
Liu Xiaolan moved a table into the yard and took out all the money in the house.
There is a stack on the left hand side, with some hairs, some parts and some large groups.
On the right hand side are five big reunion notes, which represent fifty yuan.
Liu Xiaolan pointed at the fifty yuan on her right hand side and said, "This is Jiaojiao's betrothal gift. You can't touch a single cent of it. When Jiaojiao marries into our family, this money will still be given to the third brother's family.
I originally wanted to use the money to buy Jiaojiao an extra set of wardrobes. As you can see, I bought two large wardrobes for Jiaojiao.
But later, your uncle did not charge for the furniture, so the furniture in the third son’s room was all given by your uncle.”
Liu Xiaolan reminded Xu Mo again, "Third brother, your second uncle is very kind to our family. In the future, if you have good days, you must think of your second uncle."
Xu Mo nodded.
This is absolute.
Ever since Xu Mo's father got into trouble, Liu Xiaoqiang has been helping the Xu family.
Xu Mo is not an ungrateful person.
If I can really live a good life in the future, I will definitely bring my uncle along to get rich.
Liu Xiaolan pointed to a pile of money on her left hand side and said, "Here is all the family property, a total of 112.58 yuan, of which 50 yuan was compensated to us by Wang Erniu.
But this little bit of money cannot be divided up entirely. When you got married, I gave a dowry to each room and held a wedding banquet.
In the past, your betrothal gift was thirty yuan, plus ten yuan for the wedding banquet, a total of forty yuan, so you have to set aside another forty yuan for Xu Mo to marry Jiaojiao.
There is not much money in the house, so we will divide it into four parts, one for each of you three brothers, and one for me and Meili."
The captain calculated the amount, (112.58-40) ÷ 4 = 18.145 yuan.
Captain: "So, each family can get 18.145 yuan."
After the captain calculated the bill, he exclaimed, "My goodness, this is too poor."
If we divide the family, how will we survive?
Li Ermei sighed deeply.
What a sin, what a sin. I can’t survive with this little money.
Zhou Ying felt very embarrassed.
She pursed her lips, feeling unwilling.
In the past, the family could eat meat every now and then, and she thought that the family still had some money.
But I didn't expect that this was all.
Send away beggars?
