    "It's good that we've already informed you. It won't take long to get home from the county seat. Boss, please go to the next village now and call your eldest sister over.

    She also has her share of the family separation.  "

    After Qiao Mu confirmed the notice, he immediately asked Mu Chungeng to run to the next village, call his eldest sister over, and give something to his eldest sister later.

    The original person favors boys over daughters, but Qiao Mu does not have this habit. Moreover, the life of the original eldest daughter is indeed not very good, and she is even much poorer than the original person's family. The original person's family can still get some meat during the holidays.  However, her eldest daughter's family may not have access to meat all year round, and the two children are obviously malnourished.

    The original person wanted to help, but the family really didn¡¯t have much money, and secondly, he was worried about his wife¡¯s sarcastic remarks, so he could only occasionally send some coarse grains to his daughter, but he didn¡¯t have much. But Qiao Mu had no worries, after experiencing so many worlds.  Since then, she has never pointed out her children to support her in old age.

    "Mom, there is no reason to call the married sister-in-law back to separate the family. How can this be done when the married daughter throws water away?"

    The third daughter-in-law, Mu Wei, had a bad temper and immediately expressed her dissatisfaction. However, what she said was not wrong in this era. Let alone this era, even in the past hundreds or thousands of years, there were very few family separations.  Get your daughter back and divide it together.

    Unless there is only one daughter.

    But this is not the case in this era. Even if there is only one daughter in this era, the daughter can only inherit a share of the dowry, and the rest belongs to the clan.

    Of course, officials can donate to the country.

    The other daughters-in-law were also dissatisfied, but because Mu Wei said it, they did not follow suit and just waited for Qiao Mu's reaction.

    "I'm still in charge of this house. I can divide it however I want. Do you need to take care of it?"

    Besides, do you think there is anything left in this house?  There are only five or six taels of silver left, and even if we divide it equally, we won¡¯t be able to share much. It¡¯s not even enough for me to keep for my retirement. According to the custom in our family, when my daughter got married, I should have given all my dowry to me.  Daughter¡¯s dowry.

    But at that time, the only poverty in the family was my dowry and the yard shared by my father-in-law, so I kept my dowry and married off Chunmei with only a few things.

    Now what if the family is divided and one or two taels of silver is given to Chunmei?  She deserves it.

    Boss, why don¡¯t you go quickly?  "

    Qiao Mu knew very well that the original person had the most important position in the family, so he still said calmly. Anyway, the daughters-in-law could not cause any trouble. What's more, this family is so poor, and they only have so little money.  It's really embarrassing to have to fight for it. Sometimes Qiao Mu feels too embarrassed to get rid of the little money he has.

    ¡°Ah, okay, mother, I¡¯ll go right away!¡±

    Mu Chungeng seemed to have come to his senses and hurriedly got up and walked out to find his eldest sister.

    Mu Wei¡¯s expression changed again and again, but she gritted her teeth and continued to ask, ¡°Mother¡­

    For so many years, Erbo can bring one or two silver back every month, and there is no place to use money at home. How can there be only five or six.  "

    ??????????????????????? Well, I still suspect Qiao Mu to be corrupt.

    Qiao Mu rolled his eyes and laughed:

    "Do you think that you daughters-in-law were brought back with nothing? Aren't they all brought back with real money? When the third child married you, your mother asked for ten taels of silver as a bride price alone. In addition,  For other miscellaneous things, the second child¡¯s annual income will be gone. Don¡¯t look at me anymore for the fourth child. The same goes for you. Your mother wants less, only six taels of silver, so it¡¯s not for you.  Did you get a hairpin worth three ounces?

    Also, last year and the year before that, plus the year before that when the court collected corvees, which year did not have twelve taels of silver put in, how much does this add up to, plus the food and drink during the festivals, the clothes and New Year gifts,  Do the math for me, how can your family save money?  "

    A lot of money has not passed through their hands. Sometimes I don¡¯t feel anything when I use it. The saying that you don¡¯t know how valuable money is when you are not rich is what I mean. I feel like I haven¡¯t spent much money. I haven¡¯t used it in a year.  With just a few pennies, I thought I didn¡¯t have to spend any money at home.

    The other daughters-in-law couldn't help but lower their heads and ponder after hearing this. Indeed, the main source of money for the family is the money brought back by the second brother every month. As for the little money their mother-in-law earns from embroidery, they estimate that it is only a few dozen coins at most.  It's not a big fortune, so based on this calculation, it's normal for the family to have little money.

    At this time, Mu Da, who was listening on the side,?I feel even more resentful and dissatisfied. I feel that this family is really the best. The whole family relies on the money earned by his father and they are not ashamed. They are not even grateful to the mother and daughter.

    ¡°If all the money he had saved over the years was not given to his family, the money saved might be enough for his family to buy a shop in the county town, or buy seven or eight acres of mature farmland in the village.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? As they were working in a carpentry shop in the county town, Mu Chuntian, who had become a master craftsman, ran in panting. As soon as he came in, he knelt on the ground and asked nervously:

    "Mom, what kind of grievances have you suffered that requires us to separate the family? If you have any grievances, just tell me directly!"

    It¡¯s Ping Qing¡­¡±

    "What are you saying? Why don't you stand up quickly? It's okay. Don't be nervous. It's your mother who wants to leave. You can't always be raised by yourself in this family. Others should think for themselves too."  It's a way to make money. It's enough for the elder brother to help marry a wife. There is no mention of helping to provide for her in old age. Besides, you are so old and you only have one daughter. Presumably, you and your wife have been separated all year round and cannot be together.  For some reason, if the family separates later, you can take your wife to the county town with you. Having a grandson in two years will be the greatest filial piety to me."

    Wherever you go, you have to follow the social customs of that place. Here, if you don't have a son, you will be poked in the spine by others, and you will be looked down upon by others. After death, the family property must be divided up by others, and it is allowed by the country and the clan.  , so Qiao Mu is right to say so.

    Why did the second daughter-in-law and his eldest daughter have always had a difficult time at home? It was because of this. Not only was the original person a little dissatisfied, but the other sisters-in-law also had the confidence to bully her. She didn't have the confidence to resist, and the original  The reason why she doesn't care is because she came here the same way back then, so why should she care?

    Besides, Yuan Shen did not miss out on the food and drink at Lao Er's house, and she didn't curse anyone. Unlike other families, the mother-in-laws of other families could criticize their daughter-in-law all day long. Although Yuan Shen's mother-in-law is different from some people,  In terms of the three views of the mother-in-law, she is already considered the best mother-in-law, but in fact, in terms of the village, she is not bad.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
