Bang...Qin Xiangju knocked the table hard.

Lin Dajun's heart trembled, he stopped cursing and looked at her.

Qin Xiangju said, "Dajun, what did you mean by what you said just now? Don't worry, your aunt is here, just make your words clear."

Lin Dajun said, "This morning, this woman came to us brothers. She told us that my sister used the bean sprout recipe left by our parents to exchange a house with someone in the county town. She also said that my sister's household registration has been registered and she can eat commercial grain. She also said that this is the bean sprout recipe left by our parents, and it should be passed on to us boys. Even if the house is exchanged, it should be given to us boys. She asked us to go to the county town to ask our sister for a house and commercial grain. So my brothers and I went to the county town today, but my sister told us that there is no commercial grain and no house. Auntie, this woman is so bad. Does she want to bully our sister because our parents are dead? Although we brothers are still young, it would be better if we were still alive to let our sister be bullied."

Although Lin Sanjun did not say anything, he stood silently beside Lin Yiyi. Although he was small, his intention to protect his sister was obvious.

Lin Dajun's words were like a slap in the face of the Xiao family.

Qi Bocai said, "He's talking nonsense. I didn't. I didn't say that. My second brother's wife having a house is good for our Xiao family. I didn't say that. They're talking nonsense."

Lin Dajun pouted: "We are not talking nonsense. Although we are children, our parents taught us when they were alive that we should not lie. Lying is wrong. We scholars follow the Chairman's footsteps and never lie." Lin Dajun was thinking in his heart, my sister is really amazing. She could predict that this bad woman would say these words, so she taught them how to say them in advance.

First he brought up his dead parents, then he brought up the Chairman, each one more convincing than the other. Moreover, even if Lin Dajun didn't say that, the Xiao family knew Qi Bocai's character and believed what the Lin family's younger brother said.

Lin Sanjun: "Grandma Ge."

Lin Dajun: "Yes, when you said that, Grandma Ge was there too, and she heard it, too."

Lin Yiyi said sadly, "Why? Sister-in-law, why did you do this? It hasn't even been a month since I married into the Xiao family, and you've dealt with me three times. The first time, as Brother Yu's wife, I didn't even qualify for the malted milk he exchanged for. The second time, I had my own royalties, our Lin family had our own food, and I used the Lin family's food to support my brother, but you still said that. And this time, why did you bully me like this? Are you bullying me because I don't have parents, so I have no one to rely on?"

Lin Dajun: "Sister, we are your support. We will grow up. We have four brothers now, which is definitely more than their family has."

Lin Yiyi shook her head: "I'm tired. If I marry Brother Yu, I will be targeted and bullied again and again. Why should I get married?" Lin Yiyi looked at Qin Xiangju, "Mom, I know you have always been good to me. I also know why Brother Yu and I got engaged. I think Brother Yu has grown up and will definitely not be sick anymore. Let's divorce Brother Yu and cancel the marriage." With that, Lin Yiyi left weakly.

"Divorce." Grandma Xiao suddenly spoke.

Lin Yiyi stopped.

Qi Bocai's eyes lit up. Grandma, are you going to let Xiao Yu and that little bitch Lin Yiyi get divorced? That's great.

However, Qi Bocai's happiness did not last long. He only heard Grandma Xiao continue to say: "Let the eldest son divorce Qi Bocai."

Qi Spinach: "Grandma..."

Grandma Xiao: "You are such a selfish person who only thinks about yourself and not the Xiao family. We can't tolerate you in the Xiao family."

Xiao Wu: "Grandma, please give her another chance. Who gets divorced nowadays? If she does, what should I do? Wouldn't people laugh at me? Second sister-in-law, you are a generous person, please forgive her. She is just quick-witted, but she is not a bad person."

Qi Bocai: "Yes, yes, sister-in-law, I really didn't mean it. I just talk too fast. Please forgive me. I won't do it again."

Lin Yiyi shook her head: "You don't need my forgiveness. You've made my brother and I enemies. How can I possibly forgive you?"

Xiao Wu: "Second brother and sister-in-law... Grandma, if you get divorced, what will happen to my children? Xiaorui is our eldest grandchild. Do you want others to say that she is a wild child without a mother?"

Qi Bocai: "Yes, yes, Xiaorui, Xiaorui, mother can't live without you, mother can't leave you..." As she said this, she grabbed Xiao Rui on the side.

Although Xiao Rui, who was only three years old, didn't understand these, he was also infected by the situation when he saw his mother crying and his father being nervous. He sobbed, "I want my mother, I want my mother, sob, sob, sob..."

Lin Yiyi didn't know whether Qi Bocai and Xiao Wu would divorce in the future, but she knew that they would not divorce now. In this era, at least in the 1960s, divorce was indeed unpopular. Moreover, they had two children, and more importantly, a grandson. Lin Yiyi didn't want to wait for the child to grow up and blame herself for causing his parents to divorce. So she said, "Children can't be mothers after all, but she and I can't live together anymore. Even if we move to the county, she can still hurt me like this, so I'd better divorce Brother Yu."

"Then we will split up." Suddenly, a cold voice came from the door. Everyone looked over and saw Xiao Yu holding Lin Wudi, followed by Lin Sijun. Xiao Yu had just arrived and could only hear the last few words. He did not listen to the details of the incident. Lin Sijun, a snitch, had already told him everything, and even told him about Lin Yiyi's plan.

The incident was caused by Qi Bocai, but the separation of the family was what Lin Yiyi wanted, so she planned for the Lin brothers to make trouble, and she would not mention the separation of the family, so she asked Xiao Yu to see the situation and then bring it up. Among the people present, Xiao Yu was the only one who would not make the elders of the Xiao family angry if he mentioned the separation of the family.

Of course, the reason why Lin Yiyi told Xiao Yu about the plan was because she knew very well that there were some things that husband and wife could not deceive each other during their relationship. Moreover, after spending some time together, she also knew that Xiao Yu was willing to separate the family. Therefore, she planned this matter.

Xiao Yu ignored everyone and walked to Lin Yiyi. He held Lin Yiyi's hand and said, "There is no reason for me to give up my marriage for others, even if it's my eldest brother. Since my wife and his wife don't get along, the reason is still his wife, so it's even more impossible for me to take this responsibility. Xiao Rui and Xiao Zhu are still young and it's impossible for them to lose their mother, so divorce is impossible. Let's split up the family." Xiao Yu looked at Grandma Xiao and said, "Grandma, what do you think?"

Grandma Xiao sighed, but she was not disappointed. In fact, she knew that this was the final result. She originally said divorce just to scare Qi Bocai. How could she let them divorce for the sake of her great-grandson and great-granddaughter? She originally thought that by prohibiting Qi Bocai from going to the county town, she and Lin Yiyi would avoid friction, but she didn't know that this woman in the countryside could find work for Lin Yiyi in the county town.

Of course, she couldn't let her eldest grandson get a divorce. She originally wanted to soften Lin Yiyi's heart, but the second grandson came and said so. She knew it was a foregone conclusion. She just couldn't understand why the eldest son's wife was so ignorant. Now that the second son had a good future, why did she have to make things difficult for the second son's wife?

Xiao Yu said, "Don't worry, grandma. My eldest brother and I are brothers after all. Separating the family does not mean severing the relationship. If my eldest brother needs my help in the future, I will help him within my ability." Xiao Yu added within the scope of his ability, and then looked at Xiao Bin, "Of course, the same goes for the third brother, we are all brothers."

Grandpa Xiao: "Let's split up the family."

Grandma Xiao said, "Let's split up the family." If they didn't split up the family, the second son's wife would be upset and stay away from them. Besides, it wasn't the second son's wife's fault. She was even good to them. "Xiangju, you have been the head of the family for these years. You are responsible for everything in the family. Take out your things and split up the family."

Qin Xiangju said, "Well, there's actually nothing to divide at home. The visible things are all here. The only thing to divide is the money. When I was going to buy food last time, you know, there was a total of 600 yuan. 100 yuan was in my hands, and the remaining 500 yuan was given to the second child to buy food. Tell me, how should we divide it?"

Xiao Yu: "I don't want anything. Just leave this room we live in to me. The rest can be given to the eldest brother and the third brother."

Qin Xiangju: "Then for now, let's divide it like this. As for the house, everyone lives in it separately and it's their own. The rest of the small things, such as hoes and kitchen knives, are all used together and counted as public. In fact, in addition to the house, there are money and food. There is 100 yuan of money, which will be divided among the four households, one for my parents, one for me and Daqiang, one for the eldest wife, and one for the third wife, 25 yuan per household. Then there is food. Not to mention the food scattered around the house, it's only a dozen kilograms, and the big one has 500 kilograms. Divide it among 9 people. Xiaorui and Xiaozhu are counted as an adult, 55 kilograms each. Do you have any objections?"

Of course, no one had any objections.

Qi Bocai: "What about the 500 yuan from my second uncle?" Since they were all separated, Qi Bocai said it all at once. I have already offended them all, so why should I find another opportunity to offend them later?

Xiao Yu: "I haven't sold the 500 yuan yet, so I'll give the money to everyone."

Xiao Bin: "No, no, no, I don't want money, I want food, second brother, please help me buy food."

Xiao Wu said: "We also need food."

Xiao Yu: "You'd better give me the money, so that my sister-in-law won't worry that I'm greedy or that I'll raise the price of food." As he said that, he took out 500 yuan, fifty ten-yuan bills.

Xiao Yu's words were a real disgrace to Qi Bocai. But since it was Xiao Yu who spoke, no one in the Xiao family dared to say anything. 500 yuan, in the end everyone got 55 yuan.

Xiao Yu: "Now that the house, food and money have been divided, let's talk about the issue of retirement."

According to custom, the elderly follow the eldest wife. Of course, there are some who do not follow this, but it is generally the case. However, Grandma Xiao does not want this.

Grandma Xiao said, "When we are alive, we will not follow any branch. We will eat our own food. Although your grandfather and I are old, Daqiang and his wife are still young. We will live together as a family of four. When we are gone, our house below will be given to the first branch, and Daqiang and his wife's house will be given to the third branch. As for Xiaoyuer, you have good conditions, so you will suffer a little loss." Grandma Xiao is not a fool. If they follow the first branch, the second daughter-in-law will definitely be alienated from them. Only when they separate from the first branch will the second daughter-in-law be polite to them. Since they have separated, Grandma Xiao also has to consider their future.

Grandma Xiao has seen through people like Qi Bocai. To put it bluntly, if they get sick or get sick in the future, they will still have to rely on the second wife, so at this time, she has to stay sober.

Qin Xiangju said: "Just follow what mother said."

Xiao Wu: "Grandma, Mom, please follow us. I am the eldest son and grandson, and I will definitely take care of you in your old age."

Qin Xiangju: "We have already divided up the family, and everyone is in charge of their own family. If you still want us to follow, your wife will no longer be in charge of the family. Is she willing?"

Xiao Wu: "I..."

Xiao Yu: "Just follow what grandma and mom said, let's talk about the issue of old age care."

Grandma Xiao: "In this year, we don't expect you to support us in our old age. When the year is good, you can give us 100 kilograms of food and 10 yuan of pension every year."

Xiao Yu: "In the future, pensions and food will be allocated directly from the brigade."

Xiao Yu said this harshly, so as to prevent anyone from delaying pensions and food payments.

Grandma Xiao said, "Yes, yes, that's a good idea." In fact, the eldest son was stupid. What did they get after the division? Before the division, the second grandson handed in 20 yuan every month.

However, Qi Bocai also knew that it was not good to split up the family, but if she didn't split up the family, she would get divorced, and she had no choice.

According to this division, the Xiao family invited the team leader, secretary, and Grandpa Xiao's eldest brother, who was also the grandpa that Qin Xiangju introduced to Lin Yiyi at the wedding.

To be honest, when these people were invited, they were still confused. Who knew that the Xiao family would split up at this time? But they had no right to interfere in other people's private affairs.

After the family was divided, it was already seven o'clock. Xiao Yu said to Lin Yiyi, "You haven't eaten yet, shall we go home?"

Lin Yiyi nodded: "Go back, the army came to see me today and brought back 30 kilograms of food. I'll make some for you. It's delicious."

Xiao-Woo: "Yeah, the army is thoughtful."

Lin Dajun said proudly: "We dug this up in the mountains. Doctor Lin taught us how to do it."

"Brother..." Xiao Bin and his wife came over, "Brother, we trust you, can you help us buy some food? This is the money we got, a total of 80 yuan."

Xiao Yu: "Okay." After receiving the money, he asked, "Will you come to get food tomorrow?"

Xiao Bin: "Just leave it there for now, brother. We'll come back another day." He still believed in his second brother on this point.

Jin-Woo nodded: "Yeah."

In the eldest house, Xiao Wu also wanted to use the money to buy food, but Qi Bocai refused. She felt that all the food in the house should belong to them, and as for the two children, they would be sent to the old man's side when the time came. She didn't believe that the old man would ignore the children. Qi Bocai had her own plan.

Qin Xiangju also brought money, a total of 100 yuan. The four of them received 160 yuan. She took out 60 yuan in case it was needed elsewhere, so Xiao Yu used the remaining 100 yuan to buy food for them.

The door of the main room was closed. Qi Bocai put her ear to the door and listened. She knew that the old man would buy food.

After Xiao Yu chatted with them for a while, he took Lin Yiyi and the Lin brothers away. Xiao Yu took Lin Yiyi and Lin Wudi on a bicycle, and the Lin brothers ran behind. At the beginning, the Lin brothers could keep up, but after a while, they fell behind.

Lin Yiyi shouted, "First Army, Third Army, Fourth Army, take your time. I will go home early and make dinner for you and give you something delicious."

The Lin family brothers responded loudly: "Hey."

Xiao-Woo: "I'm hungry too."

Lin Yiyi said: "Then hurry up, I'll make it for you when I get home."

Xiao-Woo: "Yeah."

Lin Yiyi sat in the back, hugging Xiao Yu's waist: "Let's go back to the village once every two weeks. The elderly at home must be sad. If we go back more often, they will feel better. When we go back, bring them some delicious food."

Xiao-Woo: "Okay."

It was too late in the evening and there was no time to cook, so Lin Yiyi made noodle dumplings, took out the extra taro and pork ribs soup, added yam and cabbage, and waited for the Lin brothers to arrive. She looked forward to this every day.

After lunch the next day, the Lin brothers should have returned to the countryside, but Lin Yiyi was in a good mood after the separation, and because they brought more than 30 kilograms of yam, she kept them for a few more days. The three children had been to the county town, but had never had a good time there, so Lin Yiyi gave them a dollar and let them go and play by themselves.

On Tuesday morning, Cui Ping came to get the bean sprouts. Lin Yiyi had already prepared one pound of soybeans and four pounds of bean sprouts, and she also took out the other four pounds herself.

Cui Ping: "Thank you so much, sister Yi Yi. I'll trouble you next."

Lin Yiyi: "Sister Ping, you are too polite. The next batch will be ready on Friday morning."

Cui Ping: "Okay, OK, I understand. I'll leave first. I have things to do at home."

Lin Yiyi: “Okay.”

After Cui Ping left, Lin Yiyi started packing things. She kept two pounds of bean sprouts for herself and gave the remaining two pounds to Lin Dajun and his friends. Then she fried yam with pickled meat. The pickled meat was the fresh meat she bought with the spare ribs that day. She salted it and said, "Dajun, I'll give one portion of the bean sprouts and pork slices fried with yam to you and one portion to my in-laws. The Xiao family has already split up, so I can't give this portion to anyone else. It can only be given to my mother-in-law. Do you understand?"

Lin Dajun: "Sister, we got it."

Lin Yiyi: "The Xiao family's food supply has increased. Each person gets 10 kilograms per month. I will also increase your food supply. According to the original rule, it will be one kilogram per day, and seven kilograms per week." However, they will be in the county town for two days during the past three weeks, but that's up to them.

Lin Dajun: "Don't worry, sister. We will save food."

Lin Yiyi: "Remember to keep looking for yams. Once you find them, you can exchange them for food or use them as vegetables."

Lin Dajun: "Of course." They wanted to stay for a few more days, but they had to go digging yam. The three brothers had a beautiful idea: dig a big basket and then go back to the county town to ask their sister to make them delicious food.

The three brothers returned to the countryside and went directly to the Xiao family. In the past, they would go back to Grandma Ge's house to put things down, but this time they didn't. They went directly to the Xiao family carrying their backpacks.

The Xiao family was all at home, and they had just received food that would last them for half a year. In addition, since they were the head of the family, the first and third wives were not so active in finding food. When Lin Dajun and his friends entered, everyone saw it.

Lin Dajun: "Aunt-in-law...Aunt-in-law..."

Qin Xiangju was cooking and almost fell down when she heard Lin Dajun's cry. This kid's cry is so interesting. Lin Dajun used to call Qin Xiangju aunt, but now he added the word "in-law" for a reason. On the way back from the county, the three brothers still remembered that Qi Bocai had provoked them, but they helped their sister with the division of the family. They felt that they had grown up and should be addressed as adults, so they decided to call Qin Xiangju aunt in-law.

Qin Xiangju: "Dajun, you are here."

Lin Dajun: "Aunt, we just came back from the county town, and my sister asked us to bring her some things." He put down the backpack and took out a pound of bean sprouts and a lunch box of fried yam with sliced ​​meat. "Aunt, you have to give me the lunch box. I have to bring it back to my sister next time I go to the county town."

Qin Xiangju saw bean sprouts and lunch boxes in the basket, but she didn't say anything and took the things in.

Qi Bocai: "Have you just come back from the county town to beg for money? Oh my god, you are so lucky. Your parents died but you still have your sister and brother-in-law to raise you. But poor little Rui, your blood uncle refused to raise you and raised these things without blood instead."

Lin Sijun: "My sister is willing to support us, what can you do? You are a bad bitch. If you become my wife, I will send you back home. You are a loser."

Children who grew up in the countryside were used to hearing all kinds of scolding, and Lin Sijun had also learned some of them. They scolded people like bad woman and money loser.

Lin Dajun: "You are a wicked person. We eat and use my sister's money, why do you care so much? And we are not taking advantage of her. We just sent 30 kilograms of food to my sister. You are the ones who are taking advantage of her."

Qi Spinach: "You...are uneducated people. Has no one taught you how to talk to adults?"

Lin Sijun: "Bah, you're still an adult? Adult is shit, you have no shame."

Qi Bocai stood up suddenly: "Say it again."

Lin Sijun put his hands on his hips and said, "If you dare to attack us, we have three brothers and we are not afraid of you. Even if we can't beat you, we will beat your son. We can also tell my brother-in-law, and he will definitely help us."

Qin Xiangju came out with a lunch box: "That's enough... You know you are an adult, why are you arguing with a child? Do you think the money and food you got from dividing the family property are too much? Besides, everything they eat and use belongs to their sister."

Lin Dajun: "We dug the vegetables we sent to my aunt-in-law from the mountains, but we didn't expect you to be such a lazy bum, huh."

Lin Dajun took the lunch box and left proudly.

Lin Sijun: “Humph.”

Lin Sanjun looked at Qi Bocai with a serious look.
