Chapter 174 Mediation
The village chief looked around, saw everyone looking at him, coughed again, and continued.

"I also listen to you. If you can't discuss it, I'll talk about it. The old man gave me a general idea, and I also know your plan. It is that the three brothers contribute money and food to provide for the two elderly people. I am right. "

Everyone nodded, "That's what it means."

"Okay. We live in our own houses. The old couple moved out. Where to live is the first thing to decide." The village chief nodded: "The foundation is not a problem. We have a lot of empty space in our village, and we can build three houses anywhere. A house. I’ll take care of it, you don’t need to mention it. Now it’s just a matter of paying.”

Everyone said: "Naturally."

The village chief said: "It costs ten taels of silver to dig the soil to level the foundation and build three grass houses with earth walls. Is it okay for you three families to pay four taels of silver?"

Aunt Ding San's lips moved, and she was about to speak, but Ding Baozhu stepped on her foot, and she hurriedly shut her mouth.Sure enough, Ding Erzhuang was the first to call out.

"Village chief, ten taels of silver is enough for a family to pay three or three taels, and there may be some leftovers. We will pay for the labor ourselves, and we don't spend a penny of wages. Why do we have to pay four taels so much?"

The village head was not happy, "Why don't you make more money? If you don't take it out at once, the house is halfway built, let me come forward and ask you for money? Besides, the rest of the money is your parents. If you hold it, it won’t reach outsiders’ hands, so why are you so anxious?”

Seeing that Ding Erzhuang was deflated, Ding Baozhu said, "There is a lot left, and next year we will spend less to cover food, clothing, and daily expenses for parents. Second brother, you are too stingy. As the saying goes, 'the meat is rotten. In the pot', how much money will parents give us?"

What he said was good, he not only stepped on his second child, but also showed his generosity, and saved himself money.
Even Ding Xiang secretly admired that Ding Baozhu sold his daughter twice, and he was indeed much smarter, so he could kill three birds with one stone.

Ding Laozhong didn't speak, four taels of silver was nothing to his family, and the two brothers were about to be in pain like cutting flesh.Just look at the expressions of the second and third daughter-in-laws, I feel distressed, cut!
Third Aunt Ding saw that the crowd did not object, so she hurriedly asked: "I have the money for next year, what about the food? How much is it appropriate to give them? And the land, parents are old and can't do it, so it's not possible to give them back the land, right?"

Before the village chief could speak, Mrs. Ding waved her hand, "We don't want the land, we can't do it!"

Old man Ding also said: "Leave a larger space in front of the house and behind the house, enough to grow vegetables and eat. It's a waste of good fields and good land left to us, how can we be so energetic!"

Ding Erzhuang and Ding Baozhu glanced at each other, both very happy.

Because the land of the old man and the old lady is in their two families, isn't it biased towards them?
Ding Xiangniang was upset, and was about to speak when she caught sight of Datou and Ertou listening intently to the separation of the adults, and quickly swallowed the words again.

To be honest, if adults care too much in front of their sons, they will set a bad example for the children, in case they grow old
Ding Xiang nodded, "Our family doesn't have a few acres of good land, and we don't care about the two acres of land. Who made us a big house, and we will suffer where we should suffer."

Ding Laozhong also said: "I don't care about the land distribution. You can do whatever you want. Anyway, it's not up to me."
