Chapter 24 Happy Dividing 02
He is the youngest of three brothers and is the one who receives the most care from his older brothers, so he has always followed in their footsteps.
The eldest brother said he should be filial to his father, and he was filial too. The second brother said he should endure it, and he endured it too.
But now tell him that his father has hidden something good from his three stupid sons.
This made him think and behave.
Uncle Bai patted his third brother on the shoulder to express his comfort.
"Okay, it's not too late to know now. We will just not give anything to them next time they come." After this incident, Uncle Bai also became more open-minded. What filial piety, what biological father, are all bullshit. Only when your own family is good is it truly good.
"We are not as open-minded as Xiaojing. From now on, just take care of your own family."
Uncle Bai's eyes were red, "Second brother, why is he like this? He was not like this when he was a child." He still remembered that when he was very young, his father was very concerned about the three of them. Whenever he got something good, he would give it to them first.
Since when did his father cease to be his biological father?
Bai Jing really wanted to say that since there was a stepmother, there would be a stepfather as well, but seeing how sad her two uncles were, she couldn't say it out loud.
"Mom, count out five hundred, and let my second and third uncles divide the rest." The money should have belonged to her family, but seeing that her second and third uncles were having a hard time, she felt pity for them.
Five hundred yuan is enough for her family to use for a long time. At least she can buy a lot of food to store after the autumn harvest in the team.
After all, nothing is more precious than food these days.
Since things in the village didn't require tickets, she naturally wanted to stock up more at home.
When Luo Chunhua heard her daughter's words, she responded without thinking and started counting the money.
However, both families were a little confused when they heard Bai Jing's words.
It was Aunt Bai who reacted first, "Well, Xiaojing, we won't share this money. This money was earned by eldest brother. What's the point of us sharing it?" She still had some sense of shame.
Over the years, the most her father-in-law took from her family was food. Apart from that, her family had never given him a penny.
Only the eldest brother gave every penny he got after retiring from the army to his father-in-law. Logically, this money should belong to his family.
"Yes, your Third Aunt is right. We have already taken the chicken. What's the point of taking the money? You don't have to share the money with us."
Aunt Bai was distracted by the yellow strip just now, but she was an upright person and she really didn't want to take something that didn't belong to her.
Since both aunts had spoken, the two uncles naturally would not lose face for their wives.
"Listen to your aunts." The two said in unison.
When asked why Bai Jing was willing to help her two uncles, she said it was precisely because of their personalities that she was willing to help them.
"Okay, stop arguing. Take this money, and we'll divide these yellow slips equally. I don't want to be left without help when grandpa comes to cause trouble." Bai Jing deliberately put on a stern face, but it was a pity that her sallow face couldn't look serious.
She was quite cute and made everyone laugh.
"Okay, none of the children are sensible. You are to take back the money and things together, so naturally you will get a share. If you delay any further, we won't visit each other anymore." Luo Chunhua made the final decision and directly divided the counted money into two parts.
Then he handed it to his sisters-in-law and looked at them, "Don't be polite to Xiaojing. If it weren't for your support, her grandfather wouldn't let this matter go so easily."
Although she felt that most of the credit went to her daughter, the fact that her two sisters-in-law came forward represented the attitudes of both families.
No matter how foolish my father-in-law is, he would not want to offend all three of his sons.
"These yellow strips should also be divided equally among the three of us. No one should be pretentious."
Since the eldest sister-in-law had said so, they couldn't say no. "Then with the help of the eldest sister-in-law and Xiaojing, our two families will have some savings."
After a while, Uncle Bai San looked at his wife and agreed to the matter. "But Xiaojing, if you have any problems in the future, just ask me. Your uncle may not have much, but he is quite strong."
"Yes, and your second uncle. Your second uncle is even stronger than your third uncle."
"Brother, how can you talk like that?" Uncle Bai glared at his second brother with dissatisfaction in his eyes. "What do you mean by stronger than me? I'm not weak either. I can even carry a 150-jin load during the autumn harvest."
"I can carry 200 kilograms."
These two brothers actually started fighting among themselves.
Bai Jing really liked the current atmosphere. She watched her second uncle and third uncle arguing with a smile and did not disrupt their fun.
She also divided the yellow strip into three parts, but there were two extra pieces. "I want to take these extra pieces to the commune to exchange for money. Winter is coming soon, and we should stock up on cotton."
Cotton is a precious commodity in their area, so if you want to buy it, you must do so in advance.
If you buy now, you will be able to stock up on cotton from all three companies by the time winter comes.
Upon hearing this, everyone naturally agreed.
"Gold is six yuan per gram if you exchange it at the commune now. These two yuan can be exchanged for at least a few hundred yuan. Xiaojing, when are you going? Then your second and third uncles will go with you."
Uncle Bai was worried about his niece. If possible, he didn't want Xiaojing to come forward. After all, the origin of this thing was not very legitimate.
They are not stupid. It is obvious that this thing was taken from the landlord's house.
Bai Jing was naturally happy to agree. "Okay, then let's go the day after tomorrow. It happens to be the day after tomorrow when there will be a big market. Let's try our luck then."
The big market was spontaneously organized by villagers from all over the country to exchange things. The commune also supported it. After all, it was not easy to get some tickets in the countryside.
"Okay, then the day after tomorrow, your uncle and I will take some time off to accompany you."
After finishing the business, everyone put away the money and yellow slips.
"Second uncle and second aunt, third uncle and third aunt, go back and put the things away first. Then take the backpacks and we will go to the opposite mountain to find a grain cave."
Bai Jing didn't plan to keep more people. With so many precious things in their hands, she would feel at ease if she let them take them home first.
What Bai Jing didn't expect was that her two uncles asked their wives to keep the money, but pushed the yellow note to Bai Jing.
"Uncle knows you are capable. It is not safe to keep these things in our two houses. Now that your strength has been exposed, your grandfather and stepmother dare not come to your house to search. You should help uncles keep the things first."
Afraid that Bai Jing would overthink it, he immediately started to explain.
Bai Jing looked at her second uncle with some surprise. This is gold, and he trusts her so much?
How could she not know that she was so trustworthy?
