Auntie Qin's words made everyone look at him, and no one spoke for a while.
Mother Qin had no idea. Although this sister-in-law was not very reasonable and sometimes she was too silent, she had no opinion on her nephew Niu Dan. Niu Dan and her son got along very well before and after the separation. Besides, Uncle Qin and her husband were brothers, and they had a good relationship.
Send Niu Dan to Qin Fang and let Qin Fang find a good job for Niu Dan. It depends on how good it is. If her son has the ability, Mother Qin will not object. If it makes her son embarrassed, Mother Qin will certainly not agree.
So, she thought about it for a while and said directly: "We need to ask Ah Fang for his opinion. Besides, Niu Dan is still young, and Ah Fang must be very busy on weekdays. The task of taking care of Niu Dan will fall on Yan Yan, but Yan Yan has to prepare for pregnancy."
Niu Dan suddenly said: "Aunt, I don't need my elder brother and sister-in-law to take care of me. I have grown up and I can take care of myself. I want to join the army, I want to learn kung fu, and I want to fight bandits like my elder brother."
Niu Dan has always been a child king, very naughty. Speaking of it, Qin Shouye is filial and Qin Shoucheng is well-behaved, but Niu Dan is not only unlike Qin Erniu, but also unlike these two cousins. If we talk about similarities, Niu Dan is like Qin Fang when he was a child. There is no place in the whole village, in the mountains and plains, that he dare not run. Qin Fang was like this when he was a child. He was very clever and liked to run around and pick wild fruits for his younger brothers and sisters to eat.
Grandpa Qin thought about it and asked Uncle Qin: "What are you like? Actually, it's okay if you don't go. The fields at home are handed over to you to take care of."
Uncle Qin San added: "Brother, I usually rent out the fields and collect 40% of the harvest. If I rent it to you, I will collect 30%." What he meant was that the fields were given to you to take care of, but you have to pay for them. That's how it is. You can get money by renting them to others, but you can't give them to you for free. Besides, Brother Qin can't handle the fields at home by himself. He will definitely rent them out to others or hire someone. In this case, it's better to rent them out directly.
Aunt Qin said, "Third brother, you can rent it to someone else. We have land. If Ah Fang gives us another ten mu, plus yours, we won't be able to handle it." Aunt Qin had already planned it. It was impossible for them to cultivate all the ten mu of prime land. If they rented out half of it, they could earn three taels of silver a year. They could cultivate the rest of the land themselves and sell the harvest. They could earn four taels of silver a year. If they went to the military camp in Yunxiang County to manage the land, they would only earn twelve taels a year. They would not have the ten mu of prime land and the four taels of silver a year. It would be better to stay at home.
Grandpa Qin listened to their argument and knew exactly what they meant. He said, "In that case, the two of us and the eldest and third sons' families will go to Afang's place, but you and your family will not go. As for the matter of Niudan, after we get there, we will ask Afang and see what he thinks."
Aunt Qin said, "Dad, why don't we let the head of the family take Niudan with them? If Afang can't take care of Niudan, then the head of the family can bring Niudan back." Grandpa Qin
didn't expect that this daughter-in-law, who was usually looked down upon, would be so smart at the critical moment. He nodded and said, "Okay, but before that, you have to write a letter of severance of relationship."
When Uncle Qin heard this, his legs went weak and he almost knelt down. His eyes turned red: "Dad, what did I do wrong that you want me to write a letter of severance of relationship?"
Grandma Qin was also shocked. She said in a lost voice: "Old man?"
Father Qin's eyes widened: "Dad, what are you doing?"
Uncle Qin also looked at Grandpa Qin in shock.
Grandpa Qin said calmly: "Don't worry, I'm not going to sever the relationship with you."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the old man was going to do something.
Aunt Qin asked, "Father, if you don't want to sever the engagement, then why do you want us to sign a severance agreement?"
Grandpa Qin said seriously, "We are all going to Yunxiang County. Who knows what you will do here? As the old saying goes, when there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey will be king. So I have to take precautions in advance to prevent you from using Afang's identity to do anything to harm Afang. I tell you the truth, our Qin family is born of peasants, and it is not easy to have a promising son. It is related to the future generations of our Qin family. I will not let you ruin Afang's future. Not only the second son, but also the third son, you all have to sign the severance agreement. If possible, I want the eldest son to sign it, but the eldest son is Afang's biological father. "Dear brother, it's useless even if you sign it.
But second and third brothers, you are uncles from the next room, and we have already separated, so if you sign the severance agreement, if you commit a crime, it shouldn't implicate A Fang.
Don't worry, as long as you don't do anything wrong and don't use A Fang's reputation to do bad things, I won't take out this severance agreement. While I'm alive, I'll keep this severance agreement, and when I die in the future, I'll give it to A Fang, and everyone should behave themselves. I also promise that A Fang is a filial child and will take care of the second and third rooms. But if you don't want to be human beings and want to be animals, then don't blame me for being ruthless."
Second Uncle Qin and Third Uncle Qin looked at each other, they were both stunned by their old father's behavior. Not to mention them, even Father Qin didn't think of this. But even if Father Qin thought of it, he couldn't do such a thing. First, he didn't have the courage, and second, he couldn't force his brother to sign it. In the entire Qin family, the only one who could do this was Grandpa Qin.
Father Qin: "Dad, this..."
Grandpa Qin scolded: "Shut up, this has nothing to do with you, and you don't have to interfere. Before I did this, the eldest brother didn't know about it, so the second and third brothers, you don't have to blame the eldest brother in the future. Of course, as long as you don't do anything wrong, this will be treated as if it doesn't exist, so it won't affect you. What do you think? Have you thought about it?"
Uncle Qin San said first: "I've thought about it, I'll sign it." As the old father said, as long as you don't do anything wrong, even if you sign the severance agreement, it will not be affected at all. Uncle Qin was confident that he would not do anything wrong. He had decided to follow his eldest nephew and bring his family with him. He took care of the land in his nephew's military camp and estate. If possible, he would ask his niece-in-law to teach his daughter some rules and find a good son-in-law for her in the future. He had no intention of using his nephew to make a fortune.
Seeing that Uncle Qin agreed without hesitation, Uncle Qin realized it later and said, "I will sign it too." Anyway, he had never thought of doing anything bad.
Aunt Qin hesitated to speak, because she was worried that if the personal letter was written, Qin Fang would not recognize her uncle in the future, but she felt that it was unlikely. As for doing bad things, Aunt Qin thought she did not have the courage.
Grandpa Qin nodded: "Very good. Shouye, go call the elders of the Qin family and the village chief, and let them be witnesses."
Qin Shouye stood up in a daze: "Yes, Grandpa."
Huang Huzi had been in the house the whole time. He didn't want to listen inside, but before the start, Grandpa Qin asked him to go in. Hearing this, Huang Huzi had to admire Grandpa Qin's courage. He looked like an ordinary country old man, but he considered things very carefully. He felt that in this respect, General Qin was very much like Grandpa Qin.
Grandpa Qin turned around and smiled at Huang Huzi: "Young man, you can also be a witness."
Huang Huzi immediately said respectfully: "Yes, old man." After thinking for a while, Huang Huzi said again, "Old man, you are worthy of being the general's grandfather. You really look like the general."
Grandpa Qin had been speaking very calmly just now, but when he heard Huang Huzi's words, he couldn't help laughing. Hearing Huang Huzi say that his eldest grandson looked like him, he was happy in his heart, and asked with some pride: "How is he like him?"
Father Qin was a little dissatisfied: "Afang is my son, so he must look like me the most. Dad, the young man is just saying something nice, don't take it seriously."
Grandpa Qin looked at him with disdain: "Young man, who do you think your general looks like?"
Huang Huzi was embarrassed, but he still said honestly: "Looks like you, grandpa." He knew that the old man was still the one who made the decisions in this family.
Grandpa Qin was very proud: "How is your general like me?"
Huang Huzi replied: "He is like you in character, decisive and forceful."
Grandpa Qin laughed: "You are right. In character, Afang is indeed like me." Grandma Qin
also admitted this. The eldest and the second son were both honest, the third son was a little shrewd, but the eldest grandson was the one who was really like the old man. "This young man said that on his way to Yunxiang County to take up his post, A Fang also suppressed bandits. The court found out and rewarded him. For this reason, he is also like you, old man."
Grandpa Qin, his father, and Qin Shouye were just reading letters in the room, so they didn't know about this. When he heard that Grandma Qin put it away, Grandpa Qin was curious: "The bandits were suppressed? The suppression was good, and those bandits should be suppressed. By the way, how did A Fang suppress the bandits?" So,
the Qin family members who heard Huang Huzi talk about Qin Fang's suppression of bandits rushed to tell Grandpa Qin.
Until the village chief and the elders of the Qin family were called home by Qin Shouye, Grandpa Qin was still laughing in the room.
The village chief and the elders of the Qin family were called by Qin Shouye. They thought something had happened and were a little worried about it. They asked Qin Shouye, but the boy refused to say anything. But now they heard the laughter of Grandpa Qin, and they were relieved. It shouldn't be a bad thing.
Qin Shouye: "Grandpa, the village chief and the elders are here."
Grandpa Qin stood up and walked to the door: "Please come in."
Aunt Qin San served tea to the village chief and the elders.
After the village chief and the elders sat down, Grandpa Qin said: "You two, I asked you to come here today because I want you to be witnesses of something." Then, Grandpa Qin told them about Qin Fang's meritorious service and being made a general by the emperor, and the second and third branches signing a severance agreement.
Village chief: I am old, and I seem to be hallucinating.
Elder: Did I hear it wrong?
