Chapter 159 Prelude to the separation


    Old Liu went to see Old Man Qin.


    After trying to persuade Old Man Qin to separate the family, he tried to persuade Old Man Qin to split up the family, but he gave him a big slap in the face, and Old Liu immediately betrayed Song Xiu.


    "One thousand taels?"


    Old Qin''s eyes moved slightly, then he shook his head and said, "No, don''t even think about separating the family."


    "Without the burden, Si''er will only develop better. Then we will enjoy the blessings and get a thousand taels. Why are you hesitating about such a good thing?"


    "The family is going to be separated, and you and I will also follow the eldest brother." Old Qin scolded.


    Old Mrs. Liu was unhappy, "I still have to rely on my fourth son to be my wife, so I won''t go with my eldest son."


    Old Qin couldn''t make a decision for a while.


    Old Mrs. Liu said angrily: "Damn it, old man, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, do you still want to live a good life?!"


    "You know nothing! The family is divided, the big house is fine, but what about the second and third sons'' families? You don''t know how heavy the corvee and taxes are. You just want to live a good life, no matter whether the two sons live or die."


    Abandoning his son just after he had a good life was such an immoral thing that Old Qin dared not even think about but did it.


    Otherwise, someone will definitely poke you in the back.


    Old Liu, however, disagreed and said, "I could get by before, why can''t I get by now?"


    "Don''t think about it, I don''t agree."


    Old Man Qin knows this, and he can''t do it.


    He believed that as long as he did not mention the separation of the family, his sons and grandchildren would never dare to mention it, otherwise they would be known as unfilial and would be sent to the Yamen and given dozens or hundreds of sticks.


    Old Mrs. Liu said anxiously: "It''s enough to divide the eldest house. The second and third sons will separate their families first and not the households. According to the fourth daughter-in-law, she just doesn''t want to take advantage of the eldest house."


    "How can there be such a separation of families? It''s just nonsense!"


    Old man Qin can only say that this old guy really dares to think.


    Where can we buy a big house after dividing the family like this?


    What would others say about Dafang?


    According to the rules of the clan, the eldest son needs to bear various responsibilities such as offering sacrifices to ancestors, and will occupy half or 70% of the property. If Dafang made no mistake, Du Du would separate Dafang, and even if he dared to agree, the clan would not agree.


    No matter how old Liu tried to persuade him, Old Qin didn''t agree.


    This made old Liu anxious.


    We can only go out and talk to Song Xiu.


    "Why don''t you want your father-in-law?" Song Xiu was extremely irritated.


    Old Liu opened his eyes and told lies, "Maybe it''s because we don''t have enough money?"


    "One thousand taels is not enough?"


    Song Xiu knew that this old guy was getting more and more greedy, "There''s only so much, it''s up to you to do it or not."


    "If people are divided like this, he is afraid of being stabbed in the back." Old Liu tried to get Song Xiu to add more money, "You can add a thousand more, but don''t tell anyone. I won''t help you because of my reputation."


    Song Xiu glanced at her sideways, "You think I''m stupid, as long as you and your father-in-law propose to separate the family, no one will talk nonsense."


    She has a limited amount of money hidden away and doesn’t want to add more.


    Annoyed, she left Old Liu and ran to Song Jin''s house.


    Seeing Song Jinyou Zaiyouzai, jealousy flashed in Song Xiu''s eyes, "Sister, your life is good."


    "Thanks to my uncle''s blessing."


    Song Jin''s words, "There is a needle hidden in the cotton," made Song Xiu very angry.


    Song Xiu regretted coming here, but she still held back her temper and asked with a smile: "Sister, don''t you want to separate the family? If we separate, you can be the master of the family. Give me two thousand silver..."


    "No distinction!"


    Song Jin thought one thing in his heart, but what he said out of his mouth was another thing, "Even if we separate the family, I am still independent of the small family. What good will it do to me if the family is separated? The eldest brother still hopes that his uncle will become an official. Live a prosperous life with him.”


    "Don''t even think about it!" Song Xiu was angry.


    Song Jin smiled and said, "It''s not your turn to say no. We''re all one family, so what''s the point of getting some light? Don''t be so stingy."


    The more he said this, the more Song Xiu wanted to give out the big room.


    No one should take advantage of it but Song Jin!


    Want to sit back and enjoy the benefits?


    Don''t even think about it! None of them were easy to deal with, especially Song Jin and Qin Chi, as if they were born to oppose her.


    But she was furious.


    As long as the family is divided, in the future the big house will support two elderly people, and the fourth house will be left to her, Song Xiulai, to take charge of the house. Thinking about the future makes her feel extremely comfortable.


    After Song Xiu left.


    Qin Chi turned around and came out from the side door and said with a smile: "Is the lady setting a condom on Song Xiu?"


    "Not really, I just want to watch Song Xiu jump up and down." Song Jin said without covering up.


    Qin Chi asked with a smile: "Do you think it is better to separate the families or not separate the families?"


    "Do you want to hear the truth?" Song Jin glanced at him and asked.


    "think!"


    Qin Chi nodded, "I want to hear what the lady has to say."


    Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!


    "Me, I want to separate but don''t want to. For example, in these ten miles and eighty villages, let alone the fact that the parents are still together, there are a few special cases where the parents live with the eldest son. I didn''t think about it carefully before. I think it''s better not to separate in the future, mainly because now I have a small family and live a very comfortable life..."


    If the family is separated, they will still have to live with the two elders. Old Qin has nothing. Living with old Liu will cost at least several years of his life.


    Qin Chi smiled, "Grandpa will not easily agree to split up the family."


    "I know that."


    Song Jin didn''t say that Song Xiu seemed to want to use money to clear the way.


    Then Qin Chi added: "Even if the family is separated, grandma will not live with us. She still wants to rely on her son to get her royal life."


    Only the wives and mothers of officials could be named Imperial Madams. Qin Chi was just a grandson. No matter how high-ranking an official he was, he would never be named the old Liu family.


    Song Jin glanced at Qin Chi sympathetically, "If this is really the case, then Da Fang will be embarrassed."


    "It doesn''t matter. My body is weak and the whole clan knows about it." Qin Chi said matter-of-factly.


    Hearing this, Song Jin understood.


    After thinking about it for a few more days.


    Neither of them expected that Song Xiu''s hard work would actually yield results.


    Another day.


    Old man Qin informed Qin Chi to go to his old house and said he had something important to discuss.


    When he passed by, Qin Lao Er and Qin Lao San were already in the main room.


    Wait for Qin Chi to sit down.


    Old Man Qin said, "I want to divide this family. What do you think?"


    "Dad, I don''t—"


    Qin Laoer was about to stand up excitedly.


    As a result, Qin Laosan was asked to hold on, "Second brother, don''t be impulsive. Listen to what dad says first."


    Qin Chi was surprised.


    I didn''t expect that Old Man Qin would really propose to separate the family.


    Old Man Qin glanced at the two brothers and said, "What I mean is that we can separate families but not households, so that we can avoid corvee labor and taxes. As for how we can live, it all depends on each person''s ability."


    Qin Laoer stopped talking now.


    The two of them subconsciously looked at Qin Chi, who was silent.


    Qin Chi pondered for a moment and said, "Will grandfather and grandma follow the big house?"


    "Your grandma insists on staying with the fourth room."


    Old Man Qin put the blame on Old Liu. Seeing that the three of them were silent, he continued, "We are just discussing today. If you have any opinions, please bring them up."


    Qin Chi said hesitantly: "Why don''t we wait until my father and uncle come back?"


    "For such a big thing as a family separation, I also think it would be better to wait for eldest brother and the others to come back." Qin Laosan finally spoke.


    Qin Laoer also nodded in agreement.
