The safety and comfort of traveling through farming

Chapter 151

He Tao threw a piece of paper on He Youtian's face: "As long as you sign this contract, I can not pursue the money for the time being..."

He Youtian took the paper and read it out word by word: "He Youtian stole the secret recipe of Fu He's Baifu and sold it to Sun Debao, the owner of Debao Restaurant in the provincial capital. He obtained 500 taels of stolen money, and all the witnesses and material evidence are there. Zong, Fu He does not want to pursue the crime of theft, so he will repay 20 taels of silver in installments within 500 years. Make this written proof... sister, I can write you an IOU..."

This deed clearly states that he has committed the crime of theft, and signing it is a plea, which is no different from leaving a criminal record in the Yamen.

He Tao was unmoved, and said lightly: "I know you are smart and have many ideas, I have to guard against your tricks in the future! Think about it carefully, sign this, as long as you don't mess with me, you can still Those who participated in the imperial examination, but if you go to the Yamen, I think you should know better than me what the consequences will be."

He Youtian nodded in resignation: "I sign!"

He Tao turned to He Fuguo and He Fu's family and said, "Father, Second Uncle, please also be a witness and sign and stamp your handprint on the guarantor."

He Fuguo wrote his name and stamped his fingerprints without saying a word.

"Don't worry, Tao'er, thank you for pursuing, I, I will definitely return the money to you..." He Fu's family kept promising.

After receiving the deed signed by the three of them, He Tao was relieved, and now he can enter the next stage.

"Okay, now let's talk about something else."

He Fujia looked up at her nervously: "What else is there?"

"This matter has little to do with Second Uncle and your family." He Tao turned to He Fuguo and said, "Let's talk about my younger brother and younger sister."

"It's not your turn!" He Fuguo became furious again.

"Father, are you sure?" He Tao praised the contract that the three of them had just signed, and said with certainty: "Why don't we ask Grandpa, he is the one who is in charge of the family! See if he agrees. As for my condition, I still want to have one less scholar master in my family!"

He Fuguo was in a hurry and couldn't say a word: "You..."

He Tao handed him a stack of papers: "I've prepared these contracts, take a look and read them."

He Fuguo took it and looked up and threw the paper away: "Don't even think about it!"

Little Chen, whose tears seemed to flow forever, stopped crying, let go of He Lian, walked to He Fuguo, and asked him, "Father, what did Taoer write, what does she want you to do?"

He Youtian stared at He Tao without speaking.Only then did he understand why He Tao was willing to leave him a way out, because he was waiting here to use him to restrain He Zhigao and achieve her real goal.

"Auntie, here." Nianzu picked up the paper that He Fuguo had thrown away.

"What I want is very simple..." He Tao took the paper and said, "First, make an appointment for my younger brother's marriage, and then separate the younger brother to make a single. Second, sell my younger sister to me!"

Three documents, the first part is the separation document in triplicate.

"The He family in Rongshu Village, headed by He Zhigao, has two sons, He Fuguo and He Fujia. Due to the large population and insignificant family business, He Youliang, the second son of the big house, voluntarily cleared his status and lived as a single family, reducing the burden of life on his parents and family. Separated. Afterwards, He Youliang honored his parents with three hundred catties of rice and grain every year, and two taels of silver for alimony, until the parents' birthday. If the parents are willing to live with them when they are old, they will be paid by them until the end of their lives, and there is no need to pay money and grain."

He Youliang has already signed his name and stamped his fingerprints.There are also positions for the signatures of witnesses such as relatives, clans, compatriots, and Li Zheng.

The second is the marriage letter with He Youliang's birth date written in two copies.

The third is He Lian's deed of sale.

"Tao'er, what nonsense are you talking about!" Xiao Chen said anxiously.She could understand that He Tao wanted to separate He Youliang and arrange a marriage for him, but she couldn't understand He Lian's prostitution.She took He Tao's hand and said, "Our He family has a rule that no one can be sold. If your father signs this, he will be kicked out of the clan!"

He Tao said: "Don't worry, I let you sign this for only one purpose. I won't tell the story for no reason."

He Lian was "bought" by her, and her life and death were up to her, and it was not up to the He family to intervene in anything!

"Give up on it, I won't sign it even if I die!" He Fuguo yelled with his neck stuck.

"Okay, let's go ask grandpa..." He Taoli ignored him, and said to He Youtian, "Second brother, please take a walk. Your future depends on what our grandpa says, as long as you can let him If you agree to this matter, even if Fang Zi's matter is over, I don't want you to pay back the money..."

He Youtian could only nod his head and said, "Big sister, don't worry, grandpa is a reasonable person and will definitely agree!"

After speaking, he turned and went to the east room.

He Fuguo squatted on the ground with his head in his arms.

Mrs. Chen looked at him and then at He Tao, and finally walked up to He Youliang and He Lian, who had been silent from beginning to end, and cried, "You Liang, Lian Er, do you really want to leave your parents so much?" You see, what are you forcing your father to do? Tell your sister quickly that you will not separate your family, you will not go anywhere, just stay at home... If you don’t want to marry your cousin, we won’t force you either Come on, don't talk about the separation..."

Although He Youliang has made up his mind to leave the He family, but when things come to an end, he still feels unbearable to see the pitiful appearance of He Fuguo and Xiao Chen. less than.

Father and mother have been foolish and filial all their lives, and they will not change their temperament so easily.Maybe they changed their words today due to the situation, but tomorrow if grandpa and grandma force them again, they will immediately change back to the way they were before!

He didn't say anything at the beginning, and let Mrs. Chen cry.

He Lian originally wanted to say something, but He Youliang stopped her, so she turned her back and didn't look at Mrs. Chen, sobbing while covering her face.

Seeing that they ignored them, Mrs. Chen just sat down on the ground, patting the ground and wiping tears, crying, "What crime did I do to let my son and daughter treat me like this? I'm alive!" What's the point, you Liang, you might as well just strangle your mother to death..."

As she said that, she took He Youliang's hand and pinched her neck: "You can strangle mother to death, lest I live to see that your father and son are not like father and son, and father and daughter are not like father and daughter, and you are all alienated from me..."

He Youliang withdrew his hand, then bent down to help Xiao Chen and said: "Mother, get up, what are you doing! I just separated and went out alone, and I didn't say I don't recognize you. If you want to If you live with me, I will also take care of you until the end of your life!"

"I don't care, you can't go anywhere anyway, mother is just you children, mother can't bear you..." Xiao Chen messed around on the ground, no matter what He Youliang said, she just killed a word, just refused He split up.

He Tao watched Xiao Chen crying coldly, without saying a word, watching He Youliang handle it by himself.After all, this is He Youliang's own business. If he is not determined enough, this matter will become a problem. Anyway, she has done her best to help him.

He Youliang was forced to lose his temper by her, he shook off her hand and said, "Mother, please stop making trouble!"

Little Chen was stunned at first, looking at her son's heartless face, and then seeing her little daughter turning her back without even looking at her, she suddenly felt sad, stood up all of a sudden, bent her waist and bumped her head straight towards the pillar past.

"Mother!" He Youliang and He Lian pulled her back.

Xiao Chen said: "If you dare to separate the family today, mother will be bumped to death here..."

"Mother..." He Youliang looked at her in a daze.

After a long time, he suddenly let go of her, turned and walked towards the kitchen, and came out with a kitchen knife.He walked up to Xiao Chen, put the knife on his neck, and asked Xiao Chen: "Mother, are you trying to force me to death? Tell me, and I will cut it off myself immediately!"

He Lian squatted on the ground and burst into tears.

"Youliang, don't act recklessly..." Xiao Chen stopped crying now, and was afraid of hurting He Youliang when she wanted to go up to grab the knife, so she kept repeating on the spot: "Don't act recklessly, don't hurt yourself." Both myself and my mother agree, you can say whatever you want..."

At the same time, the dispute between He Zhigao and He Youtian in the east room has also ended.He Youtian walked out expressionlessly, and said to He Fuguo who was squatting on the ground, "Uncle, grandpa asked you to sign!"

He Fuguo stood up silently, staring at He Youtian.

He Youtian was taken aback by him, so he stopped talking and repeated in a low voice: "Uncle, this is what Grandpa said."

He Fuguo chuckled and looked at He Tao who was standing aside. He remembered what happened to He Tao when he was a child.

When she was three years old, she climbed on his back and clamored for him to pick flowers. When she was five or six years old, she followed her wife to help with housework and take care of her younger brothers and sisters.When she was nine years old, she finished her first embroidery work by herself. It was made of socks made of old clothes for him... until she was 13 years old, she changed relatives to Zhang's house, and he personally sent them over. .

Since then, we haven't seen each other for two years, and when my daughter came back, she was different from before.

She looked gentle and well-behaved before, but the way she looked at him was no longer as dependent as when she was a child.

At that time, he kept thinking that he must treat her well and make up for the sins she suffered in those two years, and then another two years...

In the past two years, he made things difficult for her several times for the sake of the He family, and in the end even framed and extorted money, and the relationship between father and daughter was exhausted by him!
He Fuguo asked: "Tao'er, do you do this just to remember when..."

"I don't do anything else, just for my younger brother and younger sister!" He Tao said firmly.

He Fuguo smiled, walked to the table where the three documents were placed, signed his name and stamped his handprint on each of them.

That's right, she did it just for the good of Liang and Xiaolian!His daughter is more responsible than him as a father.

His eldest daughter is really promising, pinching the door of the He family's life, grasping his fatal spot, after a series of things were done, one after another, they were unable to resist, and everything was done according to her wishes.

It's good to sign, and it's good to separate the family. At least these two don't need to be implicated by him anymore, so that they won't have to live a miserable life like him in the future...

He said to He Youliang: "Youliang, you will live alone from now on, live well and take care of your sister."

"Father..." He Youliang knelt down at once, kowtowed three times to He Fuguo, and said, "Don't worry, my son will have a good life. In the future, wait...when you are willing to live with me, I will respect you and your mother as well. It's not that I don't recognize you..."

"His father..." Mrs. Chen hugged He Fuguo's arm and asked, "Is that how Youliang and He Lian are really let go?"

He Fuguo nodded: "Yes, that's it..."

He has been like this all his life, for the sake of his father and mother, he has compromised and endured everything.Today he finally sees it. It's not him as a dutiful son that his father and mother care about, but the future of the He family.Everyone in the family must be willing to sacrifice themselves for this family.

It took him half his life to understand this truth. Fortunately, his three children understood it earlier than him!
