Quickly wear it and get rid of his virtuous character

Chapter 543: Countryside Woman 7

The famine lasted until the beginning of the second year, when it rained several times and the surrounding area turned green. Only then did the eldest brother plan to take his family back. During this time here, the third brother was always close to them, and the brothers felt really bad about it.

Zhao Laosan just smiled gently and patted the eldest brother on the shoulder. "We are all brothers. Let's not talk about these messy things. But what are you going to do when you go back? Now there is nothing at home. Why don't you stay in the town and find a job?"

The eldest brother shook his head and said, "No, I don't have the skills like you to find a job outside. Anyway, my family has land, and I heard that the court has distributed two kinds of land. I will take my brothers back home to farm.

As for my parents... I don't know if I can find them. If I really can't find them, I'll talk about the price then."

Zhao Laosan nodded and did not force his adopted brother to work for that long. He already provided him with food and drink, which was already enough for him.

The women in the family didn't want to leave, even though they were squeezed in this small courtyard. They always felt that it was much better than home. They could buy whatever they wanted to eat outside, and more importantly, it was lively here.

No matter what, this was not their home, so the sisters-in-law went back. Su Tong was also very generous. He stuffed all the old things that were not used in the house into the car and asked them to take them back. Anyway, these things had already been used by them and he would never use them again. Instead of wasting them at home, it would be better to give them to them as a favor.

After sending this group of people away, Su Tong cleaned the house inside and out, and at the same time heaved a sigh of relief. Although Zhao Laosan was still working for the wealthy family, the couple's side job was gone, which meant that all the money they earned went into subsidizing the family.

Su Tong did have some money in her hands. She had made some embroidery before and sold the things she had made when no one was around. After she had some money in her hands, she discussed with Zhao Laosan to buy the house.

When Zhao Laosan first learned that his wife had saved so much money, he thought he had heard it wrong. But when he actually saw so much silver, he clapped his hands excitedly.

"My dear wife, I am so lucky to have a wife like you." Zhao Laosan was deeply moved, mainly because all his brothers had lived in his house over the years. Although they had not separated, it always made his wife feel uncomfortable. He had also thought about asking his brothers to leave, but the outside world was in chaos at that time, and if he drove them out, he would probably be sending them to death, so Zhao Laosan did not dare to speak.

Therefore, when the situation stabilized, Zhao Laosan originally wanted to drive them away quietly, but he didn't expect that his eldest brother would ask to go back, which fulfilled his dream. As for the houses and land in his hometown...

Well, to be honest, I am not cut out for farming, and my son probably won't be cut out for farming in the future either. But I still have to buy the house and land. I just don't know whether Mrs. Zhao and the others are still alive.

Both Mrs. Zhao and Old Man Zhao are no longer alive. I heard that they died on the way to escape famine. They did plan to come to the town, but they met refugees at that time and had to follow them. However, they were a combination of the old and the young, so they naturally became popular in the eyes of others. Mrs. Zhao was a troublemaker, so she was naturally killed by others. I heard that not even her body was left.

The fifth child ran back again. When others asked him about his parents and sister, he burst into tears and didn't even come to his senses.

The eldest son of the Zhao family found a good time and specially invited the elders and the village chief of the family. He also asked the third son and others to come back to divide the family property under everyone's witness.

"I am the eldest son in the family. I should have been the one to raise my parents and provide for them until the end of their lives. But now that my parents are gone, I should divide these things equally."

As soon as the eldest brother finished speaking, the eldest sister-in-law was unhappy, "That won't do. Although we are all sons, we are the eldest sons. Since ancient times, the eldest sons have always gotten more."

"Those are the rich families who do these things. We are all country people, and we are all boys. Why can't we share it equally?" The second and fourth sons were unhappy.

Although Lao Wu was a little confused, he also started to talk about things that involved his own interests, "I haven't married yet. Dad and Mom had arranged a wedding banquet for you to marry your wives. It's impossible for me to be left out. So this family has to prepare the money for me to marry my wife."

This family has been quarreling for a long time, and it seems that it will take more than three to five days to stop. Zhao Laosan was already worried about the things happening in the town, so he thought about going back and waiting for them to finish quarreling before coming back.

"Anyway, the third brother has a job in town, so he doesn't need to worry about these things at home." The eldest and second sisters-in-law looked at the third brother and his friends dressed in rich clothes, and they were almost jealous. Thinking back to the days in the city, it was like a dream. They didn't have to get wet or work on the farm under the scorching sun. But it was a pity that those days only lasted a few short months.

Su Tong was unhappy. "Sisters-in-law, your words are a bit disheartening. When we encountered the famine, it was our third brother who took us in and provided us with food and drink. Now, when it comes to distributing the benefits, he has driven us out. It is unacceptable to do such a thing."

The eldest and second sister-in-law blushed. They did take advantage of a lot, but at that time the family had not been divided and everyone lived together.

Zhao Laosan saw them arguing and stood up. "Okay, as the younger brother, I'll speak up. I won't fight for the house and other things in the family, but I must have the land. The land is our roots.

If I remember correctly, my family has a total of 264 acres of land, including 40 acres of good land, 80 acres of medium land, 110 acres of low land, and more than 30 acres of mountain land.

I only need 30 mu of middle-grade farmland and mu of mountain land. The rest is up to you to divide among yourselves. If it’s okay, I’ll give you a definite answer. If not, we can have a good discussion. Anyway, if we divide it equally, I won’t lose anything…”

There are indeed no people in the mountains, because there are only wild beasts, wild branches, and even some stones. On weekdays, people go to the mountains to chop some firewood, or plant some sweet potatoes and potatoes in some good places. The harvest is better than nothing.

The other people in the family looked at each other and finally nodded slowly, agreeing with this statement. After all, that was all James wanted, not even the house, which was already a big win for them.

The next step was to argue about the land. Since each party had their own reasons, Su Tong and his friends were not in a hurry to leave. Instead, they asked the village chief if anyone else was selling land. If the price was right, they wanted to buy a few dozen acres and keep them in their hands.

The village chief was amused. "No one wants this mountain land. Some people even want it just to pick up some firewood. Why are you buying this?"
