The safety and comfort of traveling through farming

Chapter 119

"What about Rong's four family members?" Rong Xingwang asked.

"Uh……"

All were silent.

What to do?They still want to ask what to do!
Rong Lan has been dead for a few years, and she came back to harm others. Could it be because Rong and his wife are still living here?

If it weren't for the fear that Rong Lan and Rong Ping would be too hostile and not easy to suppress, they would have proposed to expel the fourth and fourth Rong out of Rongshu Village!
"I thought, this Rong Lan has been dead for almost three years, and he came back to harm others. Maybe it's because he can't worry about the two of them!" Rong Xingwang said, and everyone was like garlic when he finished speaking. Nodding his head, he saw that everyone had no objection, so he continued: "We're going to do something to save Rong Lan and the others because we want her to leave with peace of mind, so I just thought, let's not be careless about Rong's old couple. Already!"

Lin Zemin said angrily, "Why are you telling us about this? They are from your surname Rong, so you can do whatever you want in your clan!"

"Now this problem is not about our Rong family!"

"Then what do you think? Do you want the whole village to be dutiful sons to them?" Lin Zemin asked back.

When he said this, most people followed suit: "Yes, his surname is Rong!"

"Taking care of them is also the clan's business!"

"It has nothing to do with our next surname!"

He Futing just frightened the two noisy brothers last night with "You didn't see that Rong Lan died for a few years and would come back to take revenge, so you can make a scene. If you are in a hurry, Grandpa Zeng asked you to talk alone."He was in a good mood, changed his reticence yesterday, and took the initiative to persuade Lin Zemin: "Big guy, listen to me. You said, even if Rong Lan didn't make trouble, the two of them have no offspring at such an age. You have to give money too? Well, the other family can say nothing, but our three surnames can’t lose the demeanor of hundreds of years!"

As soon as He Futing mentioned the "three major surnames", people with other surnames immediately stopped talking - it had nothing to do with them.

Fu Quan, on the other hand, tapped his fingers on his knees thoughtfully, as if he was thinking about something seriously.

"Just tell me, what do you want?" Lin Zemin was besieged by two families, so he couldn't continue to choke.

Rong Xingwang gave He Futing a thankful look, and then said: "My Rong family has already discussed that we will adopt a son to Rong Lao Si in the clan. For this adoption, the younger one must be chosen. The younger one is now I can't afford it either, what I mean is, before the heir reaches the age of 15, let's collect some things for Rong Laosi's family every year, so as not to make their lives unsustainable!"

Rong and the fourth couple "moved slowly". When the father and mother were around, they were supported by their parents, and when their father and mother died, they were supported by Rong Lan and Rong Ping. I have to go down to accompany my two daughters every year!It has been three days since Rong Ping died, yesterday Rong Xingwang asked someone to look at it, and it looked like it had just been scooped up, and it was just placed on the floor of the main room, not to mention the coffin, not even a mat was rolled up for her!

The three surnames have ancestral halls and sacrificial fields. The sacrificial fields are managed by the current patriarch's family. Whether they cultivate it themselves or hand it over to other families in the clan, [-]% of the crops in the fields are used for farming, and the remaining [-]% are used for the clan's sacrifices and relief. The funds are handed over to the patriarch and the respected elders of the clan to manage together.The Rong family had ten acres of sacrifice land, the Lin family had twelve acres, and the He family had the most, twenty acres, of which ten acres were donated by Tai Shugong in his own name after he became the patriarch.

The money in the public accounts of the three surnames is much more than that in the village, and it is not a problem at all to provide something to support the fourth child.

"Life is unsustainable? Are you talking too broadly?" Lin Zemin snorted again: "Just tell us how much each of our two families needs to produce every year!"

Rong Xingwang said helplessly: "It's the same as the cost of building a dojo. The Rong family, the Lin family, and the He family provide the big money. The Rong family gives [-] catties of rice and wheat each year. The poll tax for the three members of the fourth family is paid by the Rong family. The two of you don’t pay much, that’s just to comfort the two sisters, Rong Lan and Rong Ping.”

In fact, Fourth Rong himself has four acres of paddy fields and four acres of dry land. If he works hard, it is enough for the couple to eat for a year.But they can't do it by themselves, they can't even take care of themselves, let alone go to Litian!After discussing with the clan, Rong Xingwang decided that the clan would manage their land on their behalf, rent it out to other families, and they would take the rent themselves.Although they have to lose [-]% of their future income as rent - no one wants to do white work, who has nothing to do by themselves, but the [-] catties of rice and [-] catties of wheat pooled by the three families are enough for them to eat!
Lin Zemin stopped talking now, and others said it, because he was afraid that the two ghosts who were already bad-tempered would get angry if they didn't do anything, and there were not many of them, so he acquiesced!
"Uncle Xingwang, our Fu family can also produce some food!" Fu Quan said abruptly.

Fu Chengye, who was sitting next to him, only hated that his hands were not fast enough to cover his mouth in time - why are you meddling with the matter of the third surname? !
Fu Chengye "coughed" twice, staring at Fu Quan - you boy quickly take back the words, or you will come out with this thing yourself!

"Oh?" Rong Xingwang became interested and asked, "How much does your Fu family plan to pay?"

Fu Quan stood up, bent over and said, "Let's get [-] catties each of rice and wheat!"

"Okay!" Rong Xingwang nodded very pleased: "This is like a village! Help each other, make friends and kiss each other, how wonderful!"

However, Rong Xingwang also knew that besides the three surnames, there was probably no one else who was willing to give food, so in order to avoid the next embarrassment, he patted the table to announce the end of the meeting.

"Okay, that's it, everyone, remember to send someone to the grain drying field after noon!"

Fu Quan and Fu Chengye left the door of Lizheng's house one after another. Fu Chengye walked quickly behind with a straight face, and Fu Quan chased after him and kept calling "Third Uncle, Third Uncle". At first he pretended not to hear, He didn't stop until he was called seven or eight times.

As soon as he stopped walking, he turned around and scolded at Fu Quan, "What were you doing just now? Burning down the house when there is too much food? You take it out for nothing! I told you, it was you who said the food would come out, don't Want me to pay you a couple of dollars!"

After finishing speaking, Fu Quan didn't care about it and left.

"I never told you to come out!" Fu Quan stood on the spot and shook his head: "Short-sighted, short-sighted!"

Speaking of which, it has been nearly a hundred years since the Fu family settled in Rongshu Village.

The ancestor of the Fu family was named Fu Yin. After settling in Rongshu Village, he married the daughter of the Lin family. They had two sons, the older one was named Fu Ben, and the younger one was named Fu Lai (Fu Qiuyue was a descendant of Fu Lai's branch).

Fu Ben has three sons, Fu Dashuang, Fu Xiaoshuang and Fu Sanshuang, among them Fu Dashuang and Fu Xiaoshuang are twin brothers.

Fu Dashuang has only one son, Fu Chenggong, and then another generation passed down Fu Tong.Fu Tong is the father of Fu Hai and Fu Quan.Therefore, Fu Shi is actually the "eldest son" of the eldest son of the Fu family who lives up to the name and has been handed down in one line - all the brothers in front of him have died.

Because of his frailty, Fu Xiaoshuang was sent to a temple for foster care when he was five or six years old, and returned to secular life. He got married in his late thirties, and had his only son, Fu Chengye, when he was 40 years old.Therefore, although Fu Chengye is only 25 years older than Fu Quan, he is indeed Fu Quan's uncle. Everyone in Fu Shi's generation must call him great uncle, and he is the highest seniority among the living Fu clan.

However, they are all great uncles, so Fu Chengye is not as popular as Great Uncle Liang, he is just a very ordinary old man, even a little stingy and selfish, he just wants to live on his own territory and doesn't care about anything else.

Fu Quan has always wanted to build an ancestral hall, just like the three surnames Rong, Lin, and He in the village. There are clan rules, ancestral halls, and sacrificial fields. Get relief, those who are willing can get funding, so that the Fu family can continue for a long time.

Fu's situation is very familiar to him.At present, if the Fu family is counted as daughter-in-law or married daughter-in-law, there are 72 people in ten households, including five elders and 20 people of the same generation...

This is not only his wish, but also Fu Hai's wish. It is a pity that the two brothers were unable to realize this wish before.

But it's different now, not to mention that Fu Shi has made a fortune, their second wife is also a little bit rich!

Fu Quan thought that his steps were much lighter, and he had to discuss this matter with Fu Shi!

Afternoon meeting.Every household has sent a representative, the Great Wasteland is naturally Fu Shi, and among the three families across the river, Rong Zhuxue, the oldest of the three, will be the helm of the family from now on, and the other two will be the oldest Rong Qinghui and Rong Qingyao.The four neighbors gathered together and came to the grain drying field.

The sun-drying field at this time is even busier than during the busy seasons of summer and autumn.Rongshu Village is a large village, with nearly 230 villagers, old and young, and more than [-] households. One person from each family can squeeze the wide sun-drying field to the brim.

Seeing that people were almost coming, a table was being moved inside, and a person stood on the table, beating gongs and drums and shouting loudly: "Look, everyone, look at the neighbors and familiar families, are there any people here?"

"It's ready!"

"Rong Lan and Rong Ping's parents are not here!"

Li Zheng replied, "They don't need to worry about it for now!"

Lin Bajinniang shouted: "It's not just neat, it's more!"

"..." Did he see a ghost in broad daylight?How many more?Who is more, Rong Lan?bottle?Happy wife?Or Goddess Luo?The people standing beside Lin Bajinniang unconsciously pushed a few steps away.

Li Zheng swallowed and asked, "Where are there so many?"

Lin Bajinniang didn't notice the abnormality of all the onlookers at all, she turned her mouth to where Gao Min was standing on the far side: "Isn't that superfluous!"

Gao Min rolled her eyes, turned her head and looked at where Li was standing expressionlessly.

Although everyone knows the grievances between them, most of the people who came today were men, and it was called by Li Zheng to talk about business, and it was such an uneven day. glanced at her.

"It's okay, shut your mouth!" Li Zheng also yelled.

Lin Bajinniang made herself feel bored, humming and chirping indignantly.

Li was standing on the table and began to shout with his loudest voice:
"Okay, now that everyone is here, let me start talking! The elders in the village have discussed it. Let's do things on the seventh day of the lunar new year. The village will give five taels of silver, the Rong Family Ancestral Hall will give 20 taels, and the He Family Ancestral Hall will give you [-] taels of silver." Twelve taels, and the Lin Family Ancestral Hall also has twelve taels. We want to invite the eminent monks of Gaotang Temple to do a seven-day water and land dojo, to save the people who died in vain in our village, and to pray for bad luck and blessings for the villagers in our village! Therefore, everyone, regardless of age No matter how old you are, including the little baby, each person pays [-] Wen..."

Hearing that there are three major surnames in the village paying money, the people below were quite happy at first, but when they heard that everyone in their family had to pay for their heads, the people below immediately broke out!
