Travel back to the 80s to farm

Chapter 12: Family separation turmoil

"It's about the division of the family! This was originally agreed upon by the two families before Sister Cailian got married. We will separate after we finish our farm work!"

"Since it's already been agreed upon, why are you arguing about it now?" Shen Jing asked!

"Lin Pingzhi's mother is not a good person. She knows that Sister Cailian is a new bride and she must set rules for her!"

"There are too many such mothers-in-law in rural areas. When a new daughter-in-law comes home, she has to set rules for herself. She has to get up early and go to bed late, and be busy inside and outside. She is not allowed to be lazy. If she is lazy, she will be beaten with a stick! Now Ping Zhi's mother wants to use this set of rules on Sister Cai Lian!" Lin Erya said with gritted teeth.

"Sister Cai Lian will definitely not agree! We have agreed to split the family, so we can't compromise, otherwise life will be even more difficult in the future!" Shen Jing said firmly.

"That's right. Let's separate early and live our own lives! Everyone will be more comfortable!" Lin Erya affirmed.

"Then why are they fighting now?!"

"It's not clear yet, let's go and see what's going on!"

After saying that, Lin Erya took Shen Jing and trotted towards Wang Cailian's house!

There was a group of villagers standing in front of Cailian's house, watching the fun. Lin Erya pulled Shen Jing through the crowd and walked to Wang Cailian!

"Sister Cai Lian, what's going on?" Shen Jing asked.

"Oh, it's hard to put it into words!" Cai Lian had several bloody scratches on her face and there were tears in the corners of her eyes!

Shen Jing glanced around and saw Wang Cailian's mother-in-law, Aunt Zhang, rolling on the ground, "I don't want to live anymore! Let me drink the stew and die!"

Wang Cailian's father-in-law Lin Anjun was hiding in the corner smoking his pipe one after another! Lin Pingzhi also lowered his head timidly and said nothing!

Shen Jing thought to herself: "What a irresponsible bastard! If you can't even protect your own wife, what do you need me for?"

"Sister-in-law, don't be afraid and don't be sad. We are all your strong supporters!" Shen Jing comforted Wang Cailian and wiped away the tears from the corners of Cailian's eyes with her fingers!

After a while, the village party secretary Lin Anguo and production team leader Lin Jieping came, and several people from Wang Cailian's family also came to support Wang Cailian!

"Cai Lian, don't be afraid, my dear girl. Dad and your brothers will support you!" As soon as Wang Jingwei entered the door, he ran towards Wang Cai Lian and gently patted his daughter's shoulder!

Wang Cailian cried out in a grievance and tears: "Dad!"

"My dear relatives, what our two families agreed upon before the marriage cannot be violated!!" Wang Cailian's old father Wang Jingwei said in a loud voice.

“……” Wang Cailian’s father-in-law Lin Anjun said nothing!

"A daughter who is married off is like spilled water. Since your daughter is married into our Lin family, she must abide by the rules of the Lin family!" Aunt Zhang shouted.

"So your Lin family is headed by a woman?" Wang Jingwei asked.

"Of course not," Cailian eunuch Lin Anjun stood up and walked to Wang Jingwei, took Wang Jingwei's hand and said, "Brother, calm down! Come inside and sit down! I didn't say anything that doesn't count!"

"In that case, let's divide the property while everyone is here to witness it!"

"I don't agree! I can't take care of such a big family by myself! If the family is divided, who will share the housework with me?" Aunt Zhang stopped her.

"Oh? Relative-in-law, do you want to go back on your word?" Wang Jingwei asked.

"Since your family wants to go back on their word on this matter, I will take my daughter home today!"

Lin Anjun couldn't afford to lose this man, so he quickly grabbed Wang Jingwei's arm and comforted him: "No, no, no, brother! Aren't we discussing this?"

Village director Lin Anguo tried to smooth things over, saying, "Today, Jieping and I will be witnesses for you. We'll call accountant Moping over later, and we'll divide up the family together!"

"No..." Aunt Zhang wanted to say something, but the village party secretary Lin Anguo glanced at her and she dared not say a word!

Lin Anguo shouted to a young man at the door: "Erwa, go get your uncle!"

The young man named Erwa disappeared in a flash!

Not long after, Lin Moping showed up with account books and an abacus, and Erwa and another person followed behind carrying a large scale!

"Damn it, why do we need so many things (guayashi is a local dialect meaning things) to split up the family?" Shen Jing had never seen such a scene!

In modern society, most children are only children, so it is rare to see the family split up!

"Brother Anjun, what kind of property did you promise to give to Cailian and the others? Tell us!" Village Party Secretary Lin Anguo was intimidating without even getting angry!

"I have the notebook. I'll go into the house to get it!" Lin Anjun got up and went into the inner room before coming out after a while!

"Look, this is the notebook I wrote at that time!" Lin Anjun said and handed a yellowed and wrinkled little notebook to Lin Anguo, and then Lin Anguo handed the notebook to Lin Moping!

Lin Moping took the notebook, fiddled with the abacus, and then quickly folded it from the notebook he brought. It took him a while to calculate it!

"Brother Anjun, this is the list I made according to your notebook. Can you see if there is anything missing?" Lin Moping handed the paper to Lin Anjun!

Lin Anjun took it and looked at it carefully for a while, then walked to his relative Wang Jingwei and said, "Brother, take a look! Are these correct?"

Wang Jingwei was not polite, and he also took out a piece of paper from his pocket! This paper was well preserved, just like new!

"Brother, I checked and found that there is one thing that is not written on it!" Wang Jingwei said to Lin Guojun.

"I wonder which one it is, brother?"

"We promised that a portion of the grain distributed to our family that year would be used for the children's living! If you don't give them food right after the division of the family, how do you expect them to live?" Wang Jingwei said slowly.

"We can't give it to them! What about the three kids' tuition?" Aunt Zhang pulled Lin Anjun and said in a low voice.

"This couple has been eating here since they got married, how do you calculate this?" Aunt Zhang shouted.

"Sister-in-law, this is not the way to do it. Separating the family does not mean severing the relationship!" Lin Anguo said seriously.

Lin Anjun pushed Aunt Zhang into the inner room, "As a woman, don't get involved in this!"

He turned around and said, "We have three kids at home who need to go to school, and we don't have much food left. Let's give them a bag of dried sweet potatoes and a bag of wheat! We don't have any more!"

Aunt Zhang poked her head out from the inner room again, and was pushed back in by Lin Anjun!

The village party secretary asked Wang Jingwei: "Brother, do you have any objections?"

"Cai Lian, what do you think?" Wang Jingwei turned around and asked Wang Cai Lian!

"I'll listen to Dad!" Wang Cailian responded.

"I have no objection, but you have to ask them to write a letter of guarantee and not move their things back to their new home!" Wang Jingwei added.

"Okay, I'll supervise them writing!" Lin Anguo said seriously.

Then the accountant Lin Moping led people to move the items on the list to the yard! They moved them, weighed them, and finally checked them one by one!

"The verification is completed, and all the items are correct!" Lin Moping reported to Lin Anguo.

"Okay, neighbors, please help move these things into the new house over there!" Lin Anguo shouted to the people at the door.

Soon, all the things were delivered to the new home, and Lin Anjun also wrote a letter of guarantee and put his fingerprints on it under the supervision of the village party secretary!

Aunt Zhang’s face was as ugly as it could be!

Shen Jing felt so happy after watching such a great show!
