Ye Daming's mother sat on the kang and wiped her tears.
Father Ye sighed, "Let's split it up before it gets too serious. From now on, let them live their own lives, and whoever earns will eat.
We are all at this age, so we should forget about our children and let them be!
If they are willing to give us a bite to eat, we will take it. If they don't give us something to eat, we will go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables by ourselves. "
Mrs. Ye wiped her tears and said, "Okay, I'll call them over and divide the family today."
She opened the door and saw that Sister Huang and Sister Ye were no longer fighting. Seeing her mother-in-law coming out, Mrs. Ye immediately went over to complain.
But before she could speak, Mrs. Ye said, "Boss, second, third, and fourth, come to the house. Your father has something to say."
After saying that, he went back to the house without even looking at his two daughters-in-law.
Before Ye Daming entered the house, he said to his wife: "Tongtong and his little husband are here, and they are at Shitou's house. You take the two children to see them first, and I will go there later."
"What, Tongtong is here? Didn't they go to the northwest? Why are they here again? Are Sister-in-law Wenxiu and Yongchang here?"
She didn't mean to be dissatisfied when she said this, but she just felt that there was no one who stuttered here, and she would be miserable even if she came here.
Ye Daming saw that all the brothers had come out of the room, so he didn't elaborate.
He responded casually, "Tongtong and her little husband are here, you go and take a look first before talking!"
Huang Damei understood what her man meant and smoothed back her hair that had been torn in the fight.
Then he asked hesitantly: "The child has come so far away, so he can't go empty-handed, right?"
After Ye Fengling heard this, she ran back into the house and brought out something wrapped in a rag.
This is a wild vegetable that she and her brother found in the mountains in the afternoon. It is very tender. It was originally planned to be eaten by Dad when he came back.
Now that Tongtong and her little husband are here! Then take it over and let her have a try.
Their family didn't have anything they could afford, only this handful of wild vegetables was decent.
When Ye Laosi's wife saw the package, she smiled and said, "Fengling, what delicious food are you hiding?"
Ye Fengling said unceremoniously: "Fourth Aunt, look at what you said, what good food can we have? Aren't all the cornbread my father brought back for your second son and uncle's third son to eat?"
Sister-in-law Ye pointed at her angrily, "You fart, how much did the three of us eat from the steamed buns your father brought back? Today's steamed buns haven't been taken out yet."
After saying that, he stared at the cloth bag and asked: "Is the bread you bake today the same as today?"
When Sister Huang saw her scolding her daughter again, she was ready to tear her mouth apart. She took just two steps when she was stopped by her man.
Ye Daming glanced at Sister-in-law Ye coldly, and then said to his wife: "The two steamed buns I brought back today were given to Tongtong, and we don't have anything else to eat at home. Just go over and take a look, the two children don't know how to Say something."
Sister Huang had just had a fight with that bitch, and now she was still weak. She didn't want to waste time with Sister Ye anymore.
He pulled the two children and said, "Then I'll take Fengling and Ma Liang there now. I've already boiled the bath water for you. If it gets cold, you can add more fire."
Before leaving, she gave him a wink, which meant that he should not give in anymore, otherwise she would never be done with him.
Ye Daming nodded, even for the sake of his two sensible children, he would not give in.
It used to be for the sake of blood and family ties, but now the eldest brother's family is bullying his wife and children like this.
Then he gives up and wants to earn it by himself, so why should he be raised?
The four brothers followed Madam Ye into the house, and Sister Huang took the children to Shitou's house.
The eldest daughter-in-law, the second daughter-in-law, and the fourth daughter-in-law were left standing in the courtyard, looking at each other, and no one spoke.
The relationship between the three of them is similar, each one has his own little thoughts, and usually speaks in a strange and eccentric manner, and is too lazy to maintain any face.
After standing outside for a while, seeing that the man didn't come out, they went back to their houses.
Father Ye glanced at his four sons and was silent for a long time before saying: "You are not young anymore, and your children are grown up. Let's separate from now on and live our own lives."
Boss Ye hurriedly said: "Dad, what kind of family does this good person belong to?"
Father Ye ignored his words and continued: "There is nothing valuable at home, so you can keep the things in your room for your own use.
That iron pot belongs to me and your mother. You can use it however you like, but you must agree on the time and no quarrels are allowed. If you don’t want to use the same pot with us, just find a way on your own. "
The four brothers saw that their parents were really determined to separate the family, so they all remained silent, which was regarded as acquiescence.
Ye Laosi and Ye Laosi were hesitant, as if they had something to say.
Father Ye glanced at the two of them and said, "Speak out whatever you have to say today."
In the end, it was Boss Ye who said, "Dad, how are we going to divide the work on the dock?"
At that time, Yejiacun rescued a steward from the pier, and they were given twelve places in their village to carry bags on the pier.
Because it was Tietou who went into the river to fish out the steward, two people from their family could go there, and one from each of the other families.
Father Ye glanced at his eldest son and felt very disappointed.
I thought they were going to ask who the old couple were following? I didn’t expect that what people were thinking about was the dock work.
He turned his face, without looking at the eldest son again, and said impartially: "It's still the same as before, everyone works for one day, and the food they earn belongs to themselves."
The eldest son and the fourth son were a little unhappy. Their children were young and they had to live on that little cornbread every day.
Now that the families are separated, whoever earns gets to eat it themselves. Then doesn’t it take four days for their children to have one meal of steamed bread?
But there is nothing they can do no matter how unwilling they are. Judging from my parents' intentions, they are determined to separate the family.
Ye Daming looked at his eldest brother and smiled coldly. The fourth brother only thought about his own family and no one mentioned supporting his parents in their old age.
He said directly: "Everything has been divided, now let's talk about taking care of our parents in their old age!"
Boss Ye opened his mouth, not knowing how to speak.
He is the eldest, so his parents should follow him, but he can't even take care of the children at home, so how can he take care of his parents?
He changed his mind and decided that his parents could follow him, but his three younger brothers had to provide food.
Father Ye glanced at his third son with relief, finally there was still one with a conscience.
But he waved his hand and said to Ye Daming: "Your mother and I will be alone, and the rest is up to you."
Ye Daming thought for a while and said to the other three brothers: "Now we have three wowotou for a day's work. Whoever does the work will give one wowotou to his parents that day. What do you think?"
Ye Laoer expressed his attitude first, and he nodded, "I agree."
Ye Laosi and Ye Laosi saw the second son's statement. Although they complained a little in their hearts, they only agreed reluctantly.
Even after the family separation was agreed upon, Ye Daming took a shower, changed his clothes and went to Shitou's house.
