Instead, she said, "Miss Chen, my family has never truly separated from my eldest uncle's and second uncle's families."
That is what you mean by separating the family but not the household.
For this kind of corvée labor, only one of our three families needs to go.
I need to think carefully about what you said.
"By the way, besides these, do you have any other requirements?"
Shen Yejun never expected that the three branches of the Chi family were essentially not divided.
Hearing this, she shook her head: "No more for now. But my eldest brother is going to the prefectural city to take the imperial examination at the end of May or the beginning of June."
At that time, it will just be my parents and sister-in-law at home. If possible, I hope our family can take care of my parents' family.
Chi Mu nodded: "That's only right. Even if you hadn't said anything, not only my family, but everyone else in the clan would have done the same."
As for your elder brother's trip to take the imperial examination, the clan has made other arrangements.
As the two were talking, they could faintly hear the sound of copper bells coming from the village.
Ikeki asked again, "Any other requests?"
Shen Yejun shook his head: "That's all!"
"Okay, let's go back."
The clan chief summoned the clan members, presumably to tell them about the news that his aunt had brought back.
As for what you said, can I give you an answer in a couple of days?
Chi Mu thought that he should ask his aunt first when he got back.
Regarding Shen Yejun's proposal to separate the family property after his parents turn forty-five, could you agree to it?
If the younger sister-in-law thinks it's acceptable, then the marriage can proceed.
If that doesn't work, then forget it.
Even though he liked her, he didn't want to hurt his parents who had raised him with such care for a girl who wasn't yet his wife.
Shen Yejun, who was standing to the side, also needed time to think about whether she should get married and how to deal with the relatives of her future husband's family.
Hearing that Chi Mu would give him a reply in two days, he subconsciously nodded.
Having finished their conversation, they chose to leave one after the other to avoid suspicion.
Chi Mu returned a quarter of an hour after Chen Yejun left.
As he passed by the ancestral hall at the village entrance, his sharp eyes spotted his aunt standing next to the clan chief.
No one knows what the aunt said, but the tribespeople, who should have been in low spirits, suddenly cheered.
He wanted to squeeze in, but then he thought that everyone would find out when he got home, so he didn't try.
It wasn't until dinner that evening that he heard his second aunt ask, "Xiaoyu, did you really believe what you said before?"
"You've created a kind of adhesive that can replace glutinous rice paste and be used to build stone houses?"
Chi Yu picked up a potato with his chopsticks and nodded: "Yes, you should all remember when I asked my older brother to find wood ash a while ago."
At that time, I was doing research. Later, I succeeded, and when I went to the county town, I sent the prescription to the imperial court through the county magistrate.
That's why Magistrate Fang agreed to let our Chi clan members use silver to offset their corvée labor this year.
Otherwise, with the county town desperately short of labor, and with city walls and roads being repaired, how could Magistrate Fang possibly agree?
Chi Yu's words silenced the Chi family members who were eating.
They were ordinary people, powerless and without influence. It was a good recipe, a business that could make a lot of money, but because they were unable to protect it, they had no choice but to give it up.
Furthermore, given the limited conditions in Chijia'ao, even if we knew there were alternatives to glutinous rice paste, what difference would it make?
During the previous earthquake, the houses in the village collapsed, and the stones were reduced to rubble.
If we want to rebuild a stone house, we'll have to go to the stone mountain to quarry stones.
Quarrying is not something that can be done overnight.
