"The kids at home were throwing tantrums, and the third child was just disappointed, so he went a little too far."
Song Xiaobo glared at Sanzhu and said, "You, be more careful next time."
"Yes," Song Sanzhu agreed quickly.
"I'm glad to see the village chief laugh."
Mr. Song sighed, then stretched out his hand to lead the way. "Li Zheng, you're here just in time. My husband brought me a pack of good tobacco leaves. I'll pack some for you."
The head of the village frowned and glanced at Chunsheng. "Let's ask a doctor to take a look at Chunsheng. Don't worry, he might have some internal injuries."
"His father can hit so hard. The blood might be caused by him biting his lip. He will be fine after a rest." Mrs. Song said nonchalantly.
"Okay, let's go home now."
Duke Song opened his arms and waved them, driving people away.
"etc."
Song Jinxiu shouted and staggered to the front of the village head, "Grandpa, please help us. My grandma wants to sell me as a concubine to be buried with him. My brother has internal injuries and is dying."
"San Ya, what nonsense are you talking about? It's obviously a good marriage, how can you be buried with the concubine? You're talking so scary. And your brother, isn't he fine? Why is he going to die? Don't confuse right and wrong and talk nonsense."
Aunt Song interrupted her quickly and said, "This kid is so bold today, how can he tell the truth in front of so many people?"
She pulled Song Jinxiu and lowered her voice to scold: "Family disgrace should not be made public. If there is anything, we should solve it behind closed doors. Do you understand?"
Song Jinxiu sneered, "Family disgrace should not be made public? Humph, the original owner was forced to death, what is there to be afraid of?"
She turned around and bowed to the village head, "Grandpa Village Head, please save my brother and me. If we stay in this wolf den, we will be forced to death."
"Third girl, what nonsense are you talking about? With me here, who can force you?" Master Song finally spoke. He glanced unkindly at the children from the third room.
Feeling the pressure from his parents, the little brother who was holding her clothes tightly shuddered, his lips trembling, as if he wanted to cry but didn't dare to.
Ha, is being your aunt scary?
Song Jinxiu looked over coldly, "Master, don't you see that my brother is dying? You don't want to find a doctor quickly, don't you want him to die sooner?"
She had just seen that her brother had internal injuries, but they were not fatal. However, at this point, of course, she had to say it as seriously as possible.
"Invite a husband? Okay, if you agree to this marriage, let alone invite a husband, you can even buy him a wife."
Mrs. Song sneered. She didn't expect the dead girl to be so stubborn. If she really died, the marriage would be very difficult to handle.
Twenty taels?
Mr. Zhao is already 78 years old, so he is not going to have a ghost marriage by taking a concubine. I have an original wife.
I just want to find a concubine, although I plan to have her follow me and serve me in the future. But he is still alive now, right? So this concubine must also be alive.
"I don't need you to hire a husband,"
Song Chunsheng crawled to his sister's side and said to the village head: "Grandpa, I want to separate from my brothers and sisters. Please make the decision for us."
"What? Separate the family? I'll beat you to death."
Song Sanzhu said as he was about to kick again.
Song Jinxiu quickly stood in front of her brother and blocked the kick for him.
"hiss"
Song Jinxiu felt pain and tears started streaming down her face.
This scumbag father kicked her mercilessly. If there weren't so many people watching, she really wanted to kick him back.
Damn, this scumbag is such a piece of shit.
"I'm still alive, and you want to divide the family property? Give up on this idea." Song Sanzhu shouted.
"Grandpa Lizheng, you saw it. Dad kicked us like that in front of you. If we stay in this house any longer, he will beat us to death sooner or later."
Song Chunsheng knelt down and kowtowed to the head of the village repeatedly.
"We ask the village head to make the decision for us. We want to divide the family."
Master Song said unhappily, "Silang, I don't think I have treated you badly. You are too angry with your father. Is the division of the family just a joke?"
Song Chunsheng ignored him and kowtowed to the head of the village. "Please help us, Grandpa Lizheng. We want to separate our family."
Ever since they drove his mother away, he no longer wanted to stay in this house.
The stepmother is not an easy person to deal with. This time she sold Sanya, what about next time? Could it be Wu Ya?
Therefore, he had to divide the family. This was the only way he could think of to save his sisters.
Song Jinxiu frowned. Actually, for her, as long as her body recovered, it didn't matter whether the family was divided or not. She believed that she could live freely.
But...
She glanced at her sister and younger brother. The two children were still young, so it was inevitable that they were not well taken care of. The stepmother was vicious, the father was not close to them, and the grandparents were not kind...
Forget it, since my brother wants to divide the family, then let’s do it.
Song Jinxiu pulled her sister and younger brother and knelt down as well.
She said, "We need the village head to make the decision for us."
The head of the village looked at Mr. Song and said, "Shitou, the children are determined to separate the family. What do you think we should do about this?"
Mr. Song's face turned livid.
He said in a cold voice: "Silang, I tell you clearly that as long as I am here, it is impossible to separate the family. If you really want to leave, you have to leave with nothing. Do you still want to separate the family?"
"Okay, since Grandpa wants us to leave the house, then we will break off the relationship."
Song Chunsheng's eyes were firm and his voice was sonorous.
"Evil creature, do you still want to break off the relationship?"
Song Sanzhu kicked again without saying a word.
"Stop, Sanzhu, what are you doing? I'm still watching you. Are you going to beat this kid to death in front of me?"
The head of the village glared at his nephew.
He was not unaware of the things he had done, including having an affair with his grandson's widow while married, divorcing his wife and remarrying, and abusing his ex-wife's daughter.
The reason why he turned a blind eye was that it was difficult for an honest official to judge family affairs. As long as they didn't make a fuss, he would just pretend he didn't know.
But now that these children came to him begging, he couldn't just ignore them.
The head of the village glanced at the whole family, and they all looked at the children like wolves and tigers, as if they were not their children but their enemies.
"Then let's break off the engagement." The head of the village made the final decision.
The document of severing the relationship was written by the head of the village himself, signed by the clan leader and elders, and then announced to the ancestors in the ancestral hall.
Song Jinxiu also realized the importance of clan.
Songjia Village, a clan of the same clan, except for a few families who fled famine and settled here, all of them are from the same clan.
The clan leader is the most prestigious one in terms of seniority and has great authority. There are clan elders and an ancestral hall.
Even though the Song family was very unhappy, the elders of the clan agreed, and the Song family had no choice but to sign the document no matter how unwilling they were.
Matters within the clan do not need to go through the government. As long as the clan leader and elders open the ancestral hall for approval, it is the same as going through the government, and the contract is valid.
At the same time, she also deeply understood the differences between men and women in the clan.
Opening an ancestral hall and compiling a family tree are none of their business.
The five-year-old younger brother can enter the ancestral hall, but she and her sister cannot.
The elder brother and younger brother kowtowed inside, while she and her younger sister could kneel in front of the ancestral hall and kowtow.
The four siblings were kicked out of the house, and they were not even allowed to take out any spare clothes.
However, after leaving the Song family, the clan allocated a shabby small courtyard to the four brothers and sisters. It is a courtyard with no descendants in the clan.
The four siblings of the Song family kowtowed to the extinct family, burned incense, and had to offer incense if they inherited the inheritance. Just provide the payment for three years. That's the rule.
There is no soil.
However, the elders took their situation into consideration and gave them three dou of coarse grains.
He also promised that when his brother's health improved, he would arrange a job for him to look after the ancestral hall, and he would receive a bushel of coarse grains every month. It can be considered as allowing several children to survive.
