Rebirth of a Farmhouse with Space

"Second brother, you still say, do you know who the little bastard you are talking about is?"

"Who could he be? He's an orphan without a father or a mother. What kind of trouble can he possibly make?"

Wei Ting wanted to give Weiqu a slap in the face and wake this idiot up. "Remember, he is not an orphan now. He is a child with parents and family members protecting him. Nanchen and his wife are the ones who protect him."

"So what? We are all from the same village. He can't possibly fall out with a big family like ours just for a wild kid he picked up from outside. We are so close that we see each other every day. Nanchen won't break up with us! Brother, you are too cautious!"

Wei Ting was so angry at his brother's train of thought that he lost his temper. "Okay, okay, since you won't listen to me no matter what I say, then we can only separate. You live your life and I live ours. What happens to your children in the future has nothing to do with me!"

Old Mrs. Wei said, "I won't let you split up the family! I'm still alive. The rule of our ancestors is that the family should not be split up while the parents are still alive. Have you forgotten that? Oh my God, how could I have raised such a stubborn donkey!"

"Mom, I have decided to divide this family today. If you really can't bear to be separated from the second son, then I will take my wife and children with me and leave. This house will be for you to live in. Is that okay?"

Lin was anxious when she heard this. How could this be possible? If they moved out of this house, where would they live? "Husband, we...!"

"Shut up! Go find the village chief right now and ask Nan Chen to be a witness!"

"Why do you still need Nanchen? Isn't he no longer the head of the village?"

When she heard that Nan Chen was going to be called in to testify, Old Lady Wei felt even more ashamed to face people, "Boss, are you heartless? Do you remember who started this? You still want to call him here, are you really trying to piss me off to death? Oh, I won't live any longer!"

Feng also said, "Brother, this is your fault. No matter what, you can't turn your elbow outward. Isn't it just a division of the family? We agree. You said it yourself. You move out and leave this house to us!"

Old Madam Wei scolded, "Feng, shut up!"

Wei Ting sneered, "Sister-in-law, you think too much. This house is for mother. Whoever takes care of mother and provides for her in her old age will stay. I said we move out only if mother doesn't want to move with me."

Feng said, "It is our duty to take care of the elderly. We are willing to take care of them. Big brother, you can't go back!"

Wei Ting looked at Old Lady Wei and said, "Mom, you have decided who you will be with. Once you make a decision, you can't regret it!"

Wei Qing said, "Mom, since my eldest brother is determined to divide the family, you should just obey. You can choose between me and my eldest brother!"

The old lady then said reluctantly, "Big brother, you are capable, I think you will live well if you move out, but your brother knows everything, he will definitely not live well if he moves out, so let your brother stay in this room, I will follow them!"

Wei Ting nodded to show that he understood. He looked at Lin and urged, "Why don't you go quickly? Don't forget to invite Nanchen to come along!"

"No, why should I invite Nanchen to come when we split up the family? Big brother, do you want him to come and laugh at our family?" Wei Qing didn't understand his big brother's behavior. Wasn't all this caused by him?

Mrs. Feng and Old Lady Wei also objected to inviting Nan Chen over. "Who is Nan Chen now? He is a commoner. What qualifications does he have to come to our house to testify? Can it be that he can make a few dollars by doing business? Brother, don't forget that among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants are the last!"

Wei Ting said, "Yes, he is a commoner now, but can't you see that whether he is the head of the village or not, the villagers respect him. Whether he is a village official or not, the village chief will discuss everything with him. If you still want to live a good life in Xiangyang Village, you should respect Nanchen. Otherwise, Nanchen doesn't even need to show up himself, the villagers will make it impossible for you to stay in the village!"

Feng disagreed, "Brother, no matter what, we can split the family, but we need Nanchen to be a witness. I don't agree. You can do it yourself!"

"Okay, just as you say, Lin, go and ask the village chief to come!"

Normally, the division of the family should be presided over by the clan leader and the elders of the clan. However, they all fled to Xiangyang Village and the situation was special, so they could only ask the clan leader to be a witness!

After a lot of hard work, Wei Ting finally moved out of that house with his wife and children. The money was divided into three parts, and he only took one part. He didn't want anything else. He only took the daily necessities that their family used!

If they moved out at this time, there would be no empty houses for them to live in the village. There was no other way, the village chief had to arrange for them to live in the house behind the village committee office, which was where the village chief temporarily rested. The house was not big, but it had everything and was suitable for living!

"You guys live here first, and when the frozen ground thaws next year, you can buy some land and build your own house!"

Wei Ting asked, "Village head, doesn't the village plan to build a third row of houses?"

The village chief waved his hand and said, "No, it's quite troublesome. People who don't know would think that the village committee office has made a lot of money, but in fact, it has not made any money!"

That night, Wei Ting went to Nanchen's house and left the house to his mother and younger brother's family, and did not share any food or firewood with them.

Wei Ting felt ashamed to beg Nan Chen, but he had to take this step anyway. "Nan Chen, I know my family has done many things that have wronged your family, but I still came here with a thick face. The northern border has a cold winter for half a year, and the fields can't grow any crops. I, a grown man, can't stay idle at home all the time. Now that the family has been divided, I feel relieved, so I want to ask you for a job."

Nan Chen generously did not mention the past misdeeds of the Wei family. "Let's put it this way. You are a good person. Let's put it this way. The farm still needs a few security guards on duty. You are quite suitable. The rule of our family is to have a one-month trial first. During the trial period, you will be paid one tael of silver per month. After passing the trial period, the normal salary will be one and a half taels of silver. If you fail, I can only say sorry!"

"Okay, I'll do this job. Don't worry, I will do it well and will never let you down!"

"Okay, then go to the farm tomorrow morning to find Sister Hua to sign up! Just tell her that I asked you to come, and she will arrange for you!"

"Sister Hua? Is that Widow Hua?"

"Yes!"

"Okay, I understand!" Wei Ting stood up and bowed deeply to Nanchen. He was very grateful to Nanchen for not holding grudges against him!

When Old Lady Wei and Wei Qing learned that Wei Ting had shamelessly gone to the Nan family to ask for work, they were so angry that they insisted on severing their ties with Wei Ting and said that they were too ashamed to do so.

Of course, these are other people's affairs, and the Nan family will not care too much. If Wei Ting can't even handle his own family affairs, the worst that can happen is that they will just fire him after the probation period.

Heavy snow fell for several days in a row, and the cement factory stopped production because raw materials were difficult to mine.

However, business on the farm was better. Worried that the snow on the official road was too thick and it would be difficult for merchants to walk, Nanchen took dozens of men from the cement factory to clear the snow on the official road.

This is a tiring job. Dozens of people took shovels and brooms and worked hard. In a day's work, they could only clear three or four miles of land.

Nanchen thought of modern people using industrial coarse salt to sprinkle on the ground, so that the snow would melt quickly. However, in the world where he is now, many ordinary people cannot afford to use salt to melt the snow, let alone eat it.
