Chapter 547 A Group of Debt Collectors (Part One)

Before Old Yang made a statement, Yang Huaming hurriedly said: "Father, the house given up by the fifth child has four rooms for us, exactly three rooms, for the five of us."

"Success!" Lao Yang nodded.

We discussed about other details.

It's basically settled.

When everyone was satisfied and ready to leave, a crisp voice broke in.

It was Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing asked Old Yang Tou: "Master, you have given away all the fields, so what will you and grandma eat and drink in the future?"

Old Yang looked at Yang Ruoqing and was surprised.

The sons only care about how much they have earned, and no one asks how the old couple will support themselves in the future.

It was this fat girl who mentioned it.

The old man felt a little moved in his heart.

After Yang Ruoqing asked, Yang Huazhong and Yang Huazhou immediately realized this.

Yang Huazhong said: "Even if our five brothers split up, our parents are still ours, so we can't ignore them!"

Yang Huazhou also nodded.

The other three were silent.

Old Yang shook his head and said, "Your mother and I will live in this east room from now on."

"There are three rooms in the east room, one for Meier, and one for me and your mother's kitchen."

Old Yang pointed to the stove of Old Yang's house and said: "The stove in the past was reserved for the eldest son, and the eldest son has many sons, so the dining room was also given to them."

"Most of the second room lives in the town, and I come back during the holidays, if I want to light a fire."

"You can borrow the stove from any other brother's house."

"The four rooms occupy the three rooms on the west side, and the kitchen is built by myself."

"The grain and sundries in the storeroom, your mother and I left half a year's rations. The rest will be shared with you."

"After the autumn harvest, each of you will send eighty catties of rice to our elders."

"You must be filial during the New Year and holidays!"

"Your mother and I are sick, you share the money for the medicine equally!" Lao Yang said.

Everyone else was silent.

Yang Huaming made a sound.

"Father, the second and third brothers are rich. Eighty catties of rice every year is nothing to them!"

"Our Sifang tightened our belts and gave away [-] catties. They have to give at least [-] catties to justify it!"

Hearing Yang Huaming's words, Yang Hualin became anxious.

"The third one owns a restaurant, so he is really rich. At best, I run errands for Uncle Lan'er. I have no money!"

Yang Huaming said: "Second brother, save yourselves. Second sister-in-law puts on makeup and powder, but girl Lan doesn't touch Yang Chunshui with her ten fingers. You have no money? Who will believe it!"

The two brothers were about to argue again.

Old Yang stopped them.

His gaze immediately turned to Yang Huazhong.

The meaning is obvious.

Yang Huazhong frowned and stood up.

"Father, our three-bedroom life is better than before. However, opening a restaurant is risky!"

Yang Huazhong said.

"Looking at Xingwang now, maybe we won't be able to uncover the pot later."

"Fourth brother, let's keep an eye on them now, maybe they will get lucky later and get rich?"

"How much grain is given to parents, we five brothers should follow the same standard!" Yang Huazhong said.

Yang Huazhou nodded: "I agree with what the third brother said!"

"Everyone has to give the same millet. Whoever lives a good life can just give more filial piety to parents during the holidays!" Yang Huazhou suggested.

Old Yang sighed and nodded.

"so be it!"

"Father, when will we open the warehouse to release the grain?" Yang Hualing asked.

Old Yang took a look at him: "It's so dark right now, you can't see clearly, and you will have to make trouble again later!"

"Tomorrow, tomorrow is bright, you can divide it up as you want!"

The sons finally exited the house.

Only Lao Yangtou and Tan Shi were left behind.

Tan went over and closed the door heavily, and sat back on the bed cursing.

But I saw Lao Yang leaning his head there, his face was ashen, and he was crying.

"People say raising children to protect them from old age, but in my opinion, they are raising a group of debt collectors!"

The old man sighed.

Seeing Lao Yang like this, Mrs. Tan felt uncomfortable.

I have been with him since I was 15 years old, and for most of my life, I have never seen him shed tears.

Tan stood up and poured a bowl of tea for Lao Yangtou, and sat down next to him.

"One by one, I was born in October of pregnancy."

"There is no milk, and each of them is fed rice cereal and noodle soup in their arms."

"Wrap their little feet in your arms in winter nights, and beat mosquitoes with cattail fans in summer nights."

"Every one of them, I'm so stretched..."

As Tan talked, tears also came down.

"Why do you grow up and marry a daughter-in-law one by one, and they all treat me as an enemy?"

"I'm their mother!"

Tan shi was sobbing, her gray hair at the temples was completely messed up when she chased and beat Yang Hua'an and the others.

Now, under the lamp, he looked more and more old and haggard.

Old Yang's heart was also full of sadness.

"Mei Erniang, don't cry, let us be your companions from now on!"

……

Yang Huazhong accompanied Yang Huazhou to Westinghouse to pack his things.

Sleep another night tonight, Yang Huazhou will move these things to the town tomorrow.

Yang Huazhong also had mixed feelings in his heart.

Unexpectedly, the huge old Yang's family broke up as soon as they said it.

"Fifth brother, I feel bad in my heart!" Yang Huazhong said.

Yang Huazhou stopped what he was doing and sighed.

"To tell you the truth, third brother, I feel weird in my heart."

he said.

"Especially when I left the east room earlier, I saw my parents like that, it was so uncomfortable!"

"Third brother, to be honest, I really don't want to separate."

"I just want to live in harmony with each other for the rest of my life. How wonderful that is!"

"However, these days, it's impossible to separate the family. Things always go wrong, and Suyun almost slipped a tire..."

Yang Huazhou's voice was a little choked up.

Yang Huazhong patted Yang Huazhou's shoulder: "This is the end of the matter, fifth brother, don't worry about it anymore."

"We can't blame you for getting this far."

"It doesn't matter if the family is separated. In the future, we will work hard to earn money and give more filial piety to our parents. Even if the family is separated, we are still their sons, and we must enshrine their old age!"

"Yeah!" Yang Huazhou nodded vigorously.

The two brothers cleared up their mood, and then packed their things.

In the next room, Yang Huaming and Mrs. Liu couldn't sleep either, so they got together to make a plan.

Yang Huaming twisted the land deed in his hand, helpless.

"It's so annoying, how can we do this six or seven acres of land? We must not be exhausted!" He said.

Liu Shi didn't think so.

"If you can't do it, don't do it. If you rent it out, we will also collect the rent." She said.

Yang Huaming said: "With that little rent, I can at most make ends meet, and I don't have any spare money."

"Then what should we do?" Liu asked.

Yang Huaming pinched his chin.

"I plan to sell the two acres of second-class fertile land I got, and the remaining four acres of third-class land, we can do whatever we want."

"A second-class one with two acres needs to be sold for eight taels of silver!" he said.

"Yeah? So many!"

Liu's eyes lit up, and she counted with her fingers.
