In recent years, the Lin family has become more and more prosperous, and there are more and more conflicts. Even though everyone has their own little thoughts and wants to separate as soon as possible and live their own small lives, because Old Man Lin and Old Mrs. Zhou are still alive, there is no one.

He was willing to bear the reputation of being unfilial, but no one ever mentioned the matter of family separation.

Later, the jujube saplings he bought began to bear fruit. Old man Lin decided to allocate two jujube saplings to each of the three houses, and the proceeds went to each house. The fields and houses were not divided, and the whole family still ate from the same pot.

Originally, such noisy days would continue until the death of the second elder of the Lin family. Unexpectedly, the family was about to separate suddenly. Something must have happened.

In front of Jing Heng, his nephew and son-in-law, Lin Xiasheng was embarrassed to talk about the nonsense at home, and Lin Qiuniang didn't ask any more questions.

Qin Xiaoxiao pulled Jingheng out with a wink. While walking into the wheat field, she talked about the Lin family: "Grandpa and grandma should have separated their families a long time ago. It's boring for the whole family to live together."

Jing Heng said: "There are only a few old people like grandpa. Most people hope to be surrounded by their children and grandchildren when they grow old."

Qin Xiaoxiao nodded: "Maybe, maybe when I get older, I also like to live in a big family and don't want to separate the family."

When Jing Heng heard this, he imagined in his mind that she was surrounded by a bunch of children and grandchildren, and it was difficult for him to say a word to her. He immediately shook his head: "It's better to separate the families so that both of us can be comfortable."

Qin Xiaoxiao said: "Isn't this a hypothesis? I think my grandparents couldn't see that my uncle and the others were at odds with each other. They probably didn't want to accept that the children they raised had become like this, and they were worried about outsiders gossiping, so they delayed it.

Willing to separate the family."

Jing Heng said with a serious face: "Because of this, we must learn from the Lin family's lessons. We must not have the idea of ​​two elders. When our children start a family and start a business, we should separate them out of the house and live their own lives."

Qin Xiaoxiao burst into laughter: "Brother Li, if you don't even know your horoscope, let's stop arguing. We won't laugh to death if we hear it."

Jing Heng also reacted, looking a little uncomfortable: "Ahem, it's not a bad thing to take precautions before they happen. It's not a bad thing to plan in advance."

Qin Xiaoxiao did not reveal his little thoughts, and secretly reminded herself not to have the same thoughts as her grandparents. In the future, when her children grow up, she will let them go when it is time to let them go. There is no good in tying them all together.

As early as our family split up, the affection between the parents has not diminished. If any problem arises in each family, we can discuss it and find a solution together. This is much better than some people in the village who just don't interact with each other like strangers after their families separate.

There were many people in the wheat field, some were weeding and some were planting seedlings. When they saw the couple talking and laughing, they all said hello to them.

Qin Xiaoxiao responded enthusiastically and introduced them to Jingheng from time to time. Jingheng would nod and call him "Uncle Tie" or "Auntie", which flattered these people.

After the two left, the middle-aged man looked at their backs and sighed: "The children raised by the fifth uncle's family are different. They have become Mrs. Hou and eat the royal food, and they still have such respect for us mud-legged people."

His wife replied: "Yes, people know how to teach their children. It's not like some people who start shaking when they have an extra three taels of silver in their pockets, and almost forget who their parents are."

When the middle-aged man heard this, he turned around and lectured his two sons: "Did you hear that? In the future, I will learn more from the children of your fifth grandpa's family. Whether they can be promising is another matter. This nature cannot be bad, otherwise there will be a chance of good fortune, and others will not see it."

Come on you."

His two children didn't take it seriously and didn't want to be talked about by their father, so they nodded casually: "I know, I know, we brothers have never harmed anyone since we were young."

After hearing this, the middle-aged man was very pleased: "Well, if we straighten our backs and be human beings, we are better than anything else."

Similar words also appeared among other villagers. The growing prosperity of the Qin family stimulated the whole village, allowing them to see the benefits of studying and to see that if their daughters were well educated, their daughters would also have great futures.

Qin Xiaoxiao and Jing Heng walked around their wheat field and found that the wheat was growing well and had filled smoothly. As long as there are no problems with the weather in the next month, the wheat will have a good harvest.

When she got home, Lin Xiasheng had already left. Although Lin Qiuniang concealed it well, Qin Xiaoxiao could still tell that she was in a bad mood, fearing that something really happened in the Lin family that made her angry.

While he was preparing dinner in the kitchen, Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask.

Lin Qiuniang's face darkened, and she washed the vegetables a little harder: "It's not that careless Fang. One of your uncle's jujube trees died the year before last. Last year, I took a few over, but none of them were there.

Planting work. Your uncle and the others refused to give up. Last month they took two more jujube trees and planted them but they still failed to survive. Mrs. Fang felt that your grandparents were partial and deliberately gave the bad jujube trees to their main house, so they started to make a fuss and demanded

We want to re-divide the jujube trees in your third uncle’s house!”

Qin Xiaoxiao felt suffocated after hearing this, and was speechless for a while before saying: "What does this have to do with third uncle? I think it's the eldest uncle who thinks that third uncle's family members are easy to bully, so they deliberately look for trouble and want to force grandparents to give up their

Give them a date tree."

Lin Qiuniang glared at her and defended her eldest brother: "It's Fang's fault. It's none of your uncle's business."

Qin Xiaoxiao snorted: "Mom, my uncle is your biological brother, so you think he is innocent. But in my opinion, if they hadn't acquiesced and indulged, the Fang family wouldn't have been able to cause trouble at all."

Lin Qiuniang felt that what she said was wrong and said angrily: "It's not like you don't know Fang's temperament. No one can control her when she acts violently. What can your uncle and the others do? Just for the sake of their grandchildren.

For your sake, you can’t force your eldest cousin to divorce her, right?”

Qin Xiaoxiao glanced at her mother and said slowly: "The Fang family has caused a lot of troubles in the past few years. Did uncle and the others strictly control her? Although she was driven back to her parents' home several times by the uncle and others, so that she could reflect on it.

, but within a few days, the eldest cousin went to Fang's house to coax her back. Isn't this conniving? Fang's temper is bad, and it has gotten worse in the past few years. Uncle and the others really have no responsibility at all? "

Lin Qiuniang fell silent, washing vegetables in a dull manner.

"Mom, whether you believe it or not, my grandparents are going to separate tomorrow. You and your dad can just watch it. Don't interrupt. If anything you say doesn't suit Ms. Fang's heart, she might pester you to make trouble.

." Qin Xiaoxiao reminded seriously, not wanting to get involved with the Fang family.

Lin Qiuniang knew it well and nodded: "As a married daughter, I have no control over the separation of my parents' family. Your grandparents called me and your father over to be witnesses."

At this point, she frowned unconsciously: "I'm worried that your grandparents will be soft-hearted and give that jujube tree to your uncle's house."

Unfortunately, she couldn't persuade her on this matter. If she did, she would be enmity with the eldest brother. But if she didn't persuade him, the second brother and the younger brother would definitely feel uncomfortable, and their old age support would also become a problem.

"The hearts of the people are like snakes swallowing elephants. I gave them jujube saplings in the hope that their lives would be easier. Now that they are making such a fuss over a jujube tree, it seems that they have done something bad with good intentions." Qin Xiaoxiao said depressedly, a little bit.

I feel sorry for the jujube saplings that I gave away.

"Don't think like that. If relatives can treat each other like one another, our intentions are correct." Lin Qiuniang felt uncomfortable in her heart, but she still explained to her daughter.

"Mom, I just said it casually, I didn't mean anything else." Qin Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "It really can't be done. After the family is divided tomorrow, you can bring your grandparents to your home to stay for a while, so that the two elders can be quiet."

Lin Qiuniang also had this plan in mind and nodded.

Today, the Qin family's dinner was an hour earlier than usual. After eating, Jingheng was ready to return to Beijing.

Thinking of not being able to see Qin Xiaoxiao for half a month, he felt very unhappy. He pulled the person aside and told him, "Stay here obediently. No matter where you go, there must be someone by your side."

Qin Xiaoxiao also felt a fingernail-sized reluctance in her heart, and said with a smile: "I'm staying at my own home, what else do you have to worry about? It's you, please remember what I said, don't do whatever you want while I'm not around."

Jing Heng pinched her face and slightly curved his mouth: "I know, little jealous person."

Qin Xiaoxiao glared at him and said fiercely: "If you dare to act recklessly, I will kill you with my jealousy!"

Jing Heng liked her look so much, and his smile gradually widened, revealing two shallow dimples: "Young jealous people don't have this chance." After that, he quickly lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.

Qin Xiaoxiao was startled, and quickly looked around to make sure that his parents and grandparents had not seen him before he breathed a sigh of relief and punched him in the chest: "Rogue!"

Jing Heng held her fist, with a hint of resentment in his eyes.

Qin Xiaoxiao miraculously understood the meaning, and her face began to turn red: "Sex embryo!"

It's only half a month old, does it really need to be like this?

The two said goodbye reluctantly. If it weren't for the serious consequences of going back on their word, Jing Heng would have wanted to take them away with him.

Finally, at Qin Shan's urging, Jing Heng and Rock Paper Scissors left the Qin family. If they worked hard along the way, they could reach the capital before the city gate closed.

Qin Xiaoxiao, this heartless person, only lost a few hours and became lively again. He discussed with Mingyue that he would get up early tomorrow and go into the mountains to see if he could find any good herbs.

Lin Qiuniang shook her head repeatedly, feeling sorry for her son-in-law who had left not long ago. She felt that in the next half month, her daughter would not be able to see her son-in-law, but she could eat well and sleep soundly. Maybe the next time her son-in-law came to pick her up, she would not be happy

Walk.

After breakfast the next day, Qin Shan and Lin Qiuniang went to the Lin family. Qin Xiaoxiao took Dahuang Mie and Mingyue up the mountain to look for herbs, while Jing Que stayed at home to do housework.

Without Jing Heng, who scared the cats to death, the big cats on the mountain were all excited and walked toward the mountain surrounded by Qin Xiaoxiao.

Mingyue saw such a scene for the first time, and was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth. She had the same suspicion as everyone else, thinking that the master she served might not be human.

With this thought in her mind, not only was she not afraid, but she also felt at ease. With so many powerful big cats following her, she didn't have to worry about encountering other beasts when she went into the mountains to search for herbs.

The herbs that Qin Xiaoxiao knew were far inferior to those of Mingyue. Some of them looked like weeds to her, but in Mingyue's hands they had medicinal uses that she didn't know about.

In less than two hours, their respective baskets were full.

"Let's stop here today. In two days, we will go further in and find some older herbs." Qin Xiaoxiao wiped the sweat on his forehead and breathed a little.

"Well, there are a lot of herbs in this mountain, and there should be a lot of herbs from old age." Mingyue looked at the lush mountain forest, and saw several herbs wherever she looked: "We can only come in if we have something to rely on, otherwise these herbs will only grow old.

Wither and die.”

Qin Xiaoxiao nodded and asked curiously: "Have you ever practiced medicine?"

Mingyue's expression dimmed: "No, my father died of illness just after he taught me what he had learned all his life. I only tried to prescribe medicine for people's pulses under his guidance, and then..."

Later, her father died of illness, and her so-called uncle took away his father's medical clinic, trapped her at home and did not allow her to see doctors, and later even wanted to marry her off.

She was unwilling to be manipulated by them and escaped, but was captured by a kidnapper and sold to a brothel.

It happened that Qin Huai went to the brothel to investigate the case, and by chance he rescued Mingyue. She then stayed in the Qin Mansion until she was selected by Qin Huai last month to become Qin Xiaoxiao's dowry maid.

"Don't let your medical skills go to waste. You will be useful in the future." Qin Xiaoxiao comforted her, with a vague idea in his mind.

"Madam, it is my blessing that I can serve you by your side. I have long forgotten about other slaves." Mingyue said gratefully, with a bright look on her brows.

"Well, as long as you fulfill your duties, I won't treat you badly." Qin Xiaoxiao felt that it was too humiliating for her to be a maid beside him, but the two had only been together for a month, so she couldn't completely trust her, and she didn't put the thoughts in her mind aside for the time being.

speak out.

In the afternoon, Qin Shan and Lin Qiuniang came back, but they could not pick up Old Man Lin and Old Mrs. Zhou.

The couple's faces were not good-looking. Qin Xiaoxiao asked and found out that when the family was separated, Mrs. Fang made a scene in front of the village chiefs and clan elders, which made the two elders faint from anger.

If Lin Qiuniang hadn't been intolerable and stood up to firmly oppose the second elder's decision to give the jujube tree to the eldest family, perhaps Fang would have succeeded.

"Oh, now you have completely offended your uncle's family." Thinking of the reaction of her eldest brother and sister-in-law when Fang was acting out, Lin Qiuniang felt very uncomfortable and couldn't figure out how they could become like this.

"If you offend me, you are offended. We don't owe them anything. Just take good care of your grandparents in the future. You can also worry less." Qin Xiaoxiao comforted: "It's better than letting them take all the benefits. At least the second uncle and the younger uncle.

It's still reliable, as long as my grandparents don't let them lose their hearts, things will be fine in the future."

She is very stingy and clearly remembers being repeatedly picked on by the Fang family. Her feelings for the Lin family's eldest family have long since faded away. It doesn't matter if she has this relative or not.

After being comforted by her daughter, Lin Qiuniang's mood indeed improved, but she was still a little worried: "Your grandparents don't want to come to live with us. They are old. If the Fang family makes trouble again, I'm afraid they won't be able to bear it."

Qin Xiaoxiao frowned and suggested: "I'll go over with you in two days to have a look. If it's not possible, I'll tie up the two elders. We can't let them be angry with Fang."
