Chapter 263
Speaking of his daughter, Qin Shan said with disdain: "She is already five years old. She clings to adults every time she comes back from the city. There is really nothing we can do about her!"
If you could put the smile on your face away, this complaint would be more convincing.
Lin Qiuniang was too lazy to talk, and there was a trace of distress on her face: "Before, I thought that the third child would be an official in the capital, and I could bring a smile with me. When Mr. Xu returns to Beijing next year, I can continue to teach her. This family
It’s hard to say anything at all.”
Ever since Qin Xiaoxiao studied with Xu Ze, he has made progress day by day, which made the Qin family very happy, and they felt that Xu Ze was a rare and good gentleman.
The most rare thing is that Xu Ze teaches Qin Xiaoxiao as a boy. Unlike other private schools, the purpose of teaching girls to read is to let them learn the virtues of women and become a "good girl" praised by everyone.
Although the Qin family would definitely be able to find a place for Qin Xiaoxiao to study after Xu Ze left Le'an with the help of Qin He, the top scholar, it would be almost impossible to find it according to Xu Ze's search.
"When Mr. Xu returns to Beijing and resumes his duties, I'm afraid he will be too busy with official duties and will have no time to teach Xiaoxiao how to read." Qin Shan didn't think much about it, he just felt that his wife's thoughts were too beautiful.
Lin Qiuniang did not refute, but asked: "What should we do? In a place like Le'an, it is very difficult to find a good wife. Don't make our daughter more stupid."
Qin Shan frowned and couldn't help but worry: "It is indeed a problem. What are your ideas?"
Lin Qiuniang hesitated for a moment and finally said it: "When Mr. Xu returns to Beijing next year, can you send Xiaoxiao to the number one scholar's house of the third brother and ask the third brother to find her a wife as powerful as Mr. Xu? I'm thinking about it.
The capital is so big, so it's easier to find than Le'an, but it's just too troublesome for the third brother."
Qin Shan was not happy to hear this, and glared: "What trouble is it? If the third child in this family is divided, he will not be my brother, and Xiaoxiao will not be his niece?"
This was what Lin Qiuniang wanted, but she said: "If we separate the family, we will become two families. Besides, the third brother is also married and will have his own children soon. I am afraid that she will annoy others if she smiles and hangs in front of them."
.”
Qin Shan couldn't understand Lin Qiuniang's worries, and said slightly impatiently: "You are a bitch, and even the smallest things can make you worry about this and that! I will tell Lao San about this, and I will definitely not let Xiaoxiao
If you don’t have Shu Nian, just put your heart in your stomach.”
After receiving his accurate words, Lin Qiuniang was satisfied and did not care about the disdain in his words: "Okay, just don't forget it."
Qin Shan waved his hand: "I can't forget such an important thing."
Lin Qiuniang pursed her lips and smiled, talking to him about other things.
In the room where Qin He lived before marriage, the young couple also talked about their separation.
"Madam, apart from the house we live in, I don't plan to ask for the land or money at home. I will also support my parents in the future." Qin He tried to tell Li Yingran his plan, worried that she would object.
In fact, in order to build a new house and arrange for Qin He's marriage, the Qin family had already emptied their wealth and had very little money left. The bulk of the family division was the house and the land, like those little bits and pieces, they could be divided if they could, and they could not be shared.
also.
If it hadn't been agreed before building the house that the three brothers of the Qin family would have a house each, Qin He wouldn't even want the house. Although he didn't say anything explicitly, he would definitely pay back what he owed his parents, brothers and sister-in-law in the future.
"Husband, you and I are husband and wife. Do we need to divide our support to support my parents?" Li Yingran looked at Qin He pretending to be angry. Unsurprisingly, he had such a plan: "My parents have worked really hard these years to support your education.
Brother and sister-in-law, it is natural that they should leave the land and property to them."
Her ability to have such an outstanding husband is inseparable from the fact that her husband's family, Qin, provides education to his family, and she cannot object to it, either rationally or emotionally. Moreover, she has a rich dowry, so it is not worth the loss to separate from her husband for this small profit.
Before she got married, she had made preparations for the whole family to live together. Now that her parents-in-law have taken the initiative to separate the family, their third room will benefit, which is enough to prove that the two elders are open-minded. In the future, she will not have to worry about getting along with her two elders when they live together.
.
"Madam..." Qin He was so moved that he couldn't help but hold Li Yingran's hand.
Li Yingran smiled shyly and held his hand back, feeling more and more that her choice was right.
On the other side, Mrs. Miao was also complaining about Mr. Qin: "...You said such a big thing like a family separation in one breath, and you are not afraid that the boss and the second child will think wrong and think you are partial to the third child."
Mr. Qin said calmly: "They are all my offspring, and I don't know about them yet? If the boss and the second boss really dare to think so, this family should be separated as soon as possible!"
Mrs. Miao was very worried and said earnestly: "Sooner or later, we have to split up. Why can't you wait? I dare not say it to the eldest and his wife. The second and second eldest couple must have knots in their hearts. In order to support the third son's education these years, they have all
We have endured a lot of hardships, and when we see that the third child is showing off, we will separate our families immediately. Isn’t this just killing the donkey?"
"Haha!" Mr. Qin laughed at the words "kill the donkey". Under Mrs. Miao's helpless eyes, he revealed another reason why he insisted on dividing the family: "You also said that sooner or later, we would divide the family. Why?
Why didn't we separate earlier? People's hearts are easy to change. With this big family mixed together, can you guarantee that the third child will not feed their appetite? "
Mrs. Miao was silent for a moment when she thought of her youngest son's temperament.
Qin He attaches great importance to family ties and always believes that the hardships the Qin family had in the early days were caused by tightening their belts so that he could study. He has a strong sense of compensation for his parents, brothers and sister-in-law. Whenever they ask for something, he will do his best.
Done.
If he is alone, this is not a big problem. Now that he has his own family, he cannot think about everyone without any scruples, otherwise the family will not be able to settle down over time.
The family is in trouble, how can everyone not be affected?
Although things may not come to this, we have to guard against it, not to mention...
"... After the family is separated, they are also brothers with broken bones and tendons. The eldest and second child are really in trouble. Can the third child not help?" Mr. Qin thought about all aspects before making up his mind to separate the family: "Don't say goodbye.
Yes, if the third child wins the first prize, he will be exempted from the land tax for the entire village, and the eldest and second child will also be exempted from the corvee service. This is no different from not dividing the family."
Mrs. Miao was persuaded and sighed longly: "Well, I thought that if all the children were filial, our family would be different from the troubled families in the village who were divided and the family would be able to live happily together.
If it goes on, we will be divided before it reaches the end."
Mr. Qin also had mixed feelings in his heart. He patted Mrs. Miao's hand and said, "They are all half-buried up to their necks in the soil. What else can't be figured out? We divided our family before our eyes, and we can see them."
Stand up one by one, this is a good thing!"
"That's true..." When things got to this point, Mrs. Miao could only think on the bright side, and her heart was no longer as uncomfortable as before.
It didn't take long for the village chief and several respected old people to be invited by Dabao. When they heard that the Qin family was going to separate, they couldn't understand it and kept trying to persuade Mr. Qin to be cautious.
However, Mr. Qin had made up his mind. Even if the village chiefs were several generations higher than him, they could not interfere in the Qin family's separation. In the end, he could only stay as a witness.
Mr. Qin put the box containing money and land deeds on the table, and said to his three sons standing in a row: "You brothers will have one for each of the three new houses at home; you also know our farmland, seven acres of paddy fields, three
The money is also here, eight taels in total. I will leave two taels of silver for one acre of paddy field with your mother, and you will divide the rest equally."
This kind of division is impartial and absolutely fair and impartial. Even Zhao Caoer, who likes to care about everything, has nothing to say.
However, Qin He took the initiative to give up the land and money as he planned: "Dad, I am an official now and have no time to come back to farm, so we will not divide the land. Over the years, my family has spent countless money on my education, and I don't need any money.
Share it with us."
The village chief and others did not expect that Qin He would give up the land and money. After thinking about it carefully, they thought it was normal. They couldn't help but express their approval. They felt more and more that the Qin family would teach their children.
The Qin family was not surprised. Except for the overjoyed Zhao Cao'er and the silent Lin Qiuniang and Li Yingran, everyone else looked at Qin He with disapproval.
"Third brother, dividing the family property and providing for your education are two different things. You should take the land and money." Qin Shan patted Qin He on the shoulder and sincerely persuaded him to change his mind.
"That's right, we are brothers, why are you doing this outside?" Qin Chuan also advised: "You don't have to worry about farming, my eldest brother and I will take care of it for you."
It is impossible to say that Qin Chuan has not the slightest thought about these three acres of land and two taels of silver. However, the brotherly relationship between him and Qin He is also unadulterated, it is just a moment of excitement.
Mr. Qin saw it clearly and was immediately relieved. He said to his younger son: "Listen to your eldest and second brothers. If it's yours, just take it. When you stop being an official, you will still have a few acres of land to cultivate."
Qin He couldn't laugh or cry, and waves of warmth surged through his heart: "Dad, I really don't need this land and money. I still have several nieces and nephews to support at home. It would be better to give it to the eldest brother and the second brother."
Mr. Qin didn't want to chat with him, so he directly said to the village chief and others: "Just follow what I said, and you can go to the Yamen tomorrow to change the land deed."
The village chief nodded, dipped a pen in some ink, and wrote it clearly on the page to avoid any quarrels in the future. However, according to the situation of the Qin family, the possibility of quarrels was almost non-existent.
Qin He could not convince Mr. Qin, nor could he stop him and the village chief from going to the Yamen to register tomorrow. He could only take a step back and said: "We can't plant these fields, so we will plant them for the eldest brother and the second brother. We don't want a grain of grain."
Mr. Qin had already thought about how to arrange it, and asked the village chief to write on a piece of paper: "Lease three acres of land to the eldest and second eldest brother, and give the third and third eldest sons 20% of the harvest every year."
