21. I want to split up
The people in Hexi Village were frightened by Jiang Zhen.
There are also a few of them who are brave and fierce, but none of them will be as desperate as Jiang Zhen.
Kill into the yamen?! He even dared to think about this!
The villagers of Hexi Village saw that Jiang Zhen's expressions had changed, and they could not have the idea of provoking him again. They just wanted to stay away from this person and avoid being implicated.
"Boss Jiang, you have something to say..." Village chief Jiang Ping's tone was soft. He felt that Jiang Zhen was really crazy, and a madman... it would be better for them not to mess with him.
"Aren't I talking to you?" Jiang Zhen smiled friendly at the people in front of him.
But the villagers in Hexi Village did not think his smile was friendly at all, but they all thought that the smile was terrifying, and some people even subconsciously shrank their heads.
The Jiang family was even more dynamic than last time. Most of the people in the village came to watch the fun and surrounded the three floors of the Jiang family tightly.
Most people will definitely be afraid when they see this scene, but Jiang Zhen is calm.
He was not afraid of these villagers. Even if these people were not afraid of the lives of the yamen runners in his hands, they had the ability to climb onto the roof to break through and escape. Of course, unless it was absolutely necessary, he did not want to be a fugitive - he always wanted to live a good life in the village, and he had found someone who was willing to let him marry into his family.
Unfortunately, this time, it disrupted all his plans.
"Boss Jiang, how do you want to release the official?" Jiang Ping asked again. The knife that Jiang Zhen pressed against Yang Jiang's neck made him tremble. He was afraid that Jiang Zhen would accidentally hurt Yang Jiang. This evil star who can attack his parents and dares to fight against the yamen runners should not really kill people!
"It's okay to ask me to let him go, but I have the conditions." Jiang Zhen said.
"Brother, just raise any conditions you have, as long as it doesn't hurt others!" Jiang Chengxiang said hurriedly.
Jiang Zhen used a bamboo pole to stab him in his thigh, which caused him to bleeding, but his wound was not particularly serious - Jiang Zhen did not want to kill someone, so he naturally showed mercy.
However, although the wound was not very serious, Jiang Chengxiang felt that "my life was over."
Who is Yang Jiang? That is the person he tried his best to make connections! It doesn’t matter if Boss Jiang beat him, but Yang Jiang…
Without thinking too much, you will know that Yang Jiang will definitely come to find trouble for him in the future... Now Jiang Chengxiang hopes that Yang Jiang can let him go in the future because of his efforts to save him.
"You said this." Jiang Zhen chuckled: "I want to split up."
Split up? Jiang Chengxiang was stunned. He had thought about using the split to threaten his elder brother, but he did not expect that after his elder brother had the advantage, the conditions he would have put forward would be this.
How could his elder brother want to separate the family? If he leaves the Jiang family, where will he have to have dinner in the future?
No, he has a place to eat. Now he is grabbing Yang Jiang and forcing them to separate the family, most of whom he wants to separate the fields at home... Jiang Chengxiang's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at Jiang Zhen in horror.
If Jiang Zhen had a share of the land of the Jiang family, they would probably have changed from a wealthy family in the village to an ordinary family. He would definitely not be able to live so comfortably in the future.
"Okay, just split the family. Get out of this family!" Old Mrs. Jiang shouted. She wanted to drive away the evil star now.
"Shut up!" Jiang Butcher Jiang shouted at his wife. This woman dares to yell at the boss now. She is really desperate!
After looking at his eldest son who was holding a knife on the neck of the yamen runner, Jiang Butcher Jiang felt very regretful.
He always knew that his wife was very bad to his eldest son, but he indulged him because he was not close to his eldest son and because he had given up on his eldest son long ago.
It costs money to raise children for his son. He felt that having two sons started a family and passed on the family line was enough, so he simply ignored the eldest son and let him be treated unfairly, allowing him to be a bachelor, intending to let him help his family work for the rest of his life to help his younger brother. In this way, when the two brothers Chengcai and Chengxiang divide the family property, they can get a little more, so as not to get poorer and poorer because of the separation of the family. The eldest son has no son, so naturally he doesn't have to share a share of his property.
As a result...thing happened to this point.
If he had known this, he would have been better to his eldest son anyway.
"Boss, the matter of dividing the family is always discussed..." Jiang butcher relaxed and said, "He didn't want to be divided by Jiang Zhen, but he didn't dare to yell at Jiang Zhen, hoping that Jiang Zhen would ask for less things.
That's right, Jiang Butcher Jiang has decided to split up. He dares not stay at home like a lunatic.
"Brother, what do you want?" Jiang Chengxiang asked. As soon as he thought that Jiang Zhen was going to separate things, his heart felt as uncomfortable as if he was bleeding, but he had to agree with Jiang Zhen's request to rescue Yang Jiang. After all, only in this way can Yang Jiang be angry.
Jiang Zhen could naturally see the thoughts of the Jiang family, and it was a bit funny. These people... really suffered from their own deeds.
If they were more at peace, he would probably leave the Jiang family in less than a month. Although they would have fewer labor, they would not lose money... But now...
Not to mention that he had to get some benefits from the Jiang family, but this yamen runner... is enough for the Jiang family to drink a pot.
"We will divide the family as they divide the family." Jiang Zhen said.
There is no rule in Hexi Village that parents do not separate their families. When the sons become relatives, the elderly will separate their families. When the family is divided, there are usually a few sons, and the family property will be divided into several parts. Then set the rules for each son to give him how much food and money to support the elderly.
If Jiang Zhen could divide it into five acres of paddy fields and six or seven acres of dry land, even if Jiang and the butcher and his wife didn't take out the money to share it, so much land would be worth a lot of money.
"Boss, you haven't gotten married, so you can't share this way." Jiang Butcher Jiang whispered. The bachelors in the village all lived with their brothers... Of course, he was mainly reluctant to share the land for Jiang Zhen. The land price in Hecheng County is expensive, and a mu of paddy fields can be sold for twenty taels or even more, and dry land can be sold for at least fifteen taels. Jiang Zhen had to share so much, which was simply cutting his meat!
Old Mrs. Jiang was even more unwilling. In her opinion, Jiang Zhen was born to her, and even if she was beaten and killed, it was also worth it. Why did she ask her to give her something? But before she could say anything, Jiang Chengxiang covered her mouth.
"If you didn't marry me, how could I not get married?" Jiang Zhen sneered. God knows that most of the boss Jiang wants a wife?
Jiang butcher regretted it again. Why didn’t he recruit Jiang Zhen out at that time? Not only would he get a bride gift, but the disaster would also be someone else’s family.
"But you don't want to divide this, that's fine." Jiang Zhen said: "There is another way to divide it."
Another so-called division method, shouldn’t it take more divisions? Jiang Chengxiang was upset, but Jiang Butcher had already asked: “What division method?”
"I was born to you, but you killed me once before, so I'm worthy of it." Jiang Zhen said: "Before fifteen years old, I had been eating at home, but I could do a lot of it... The work I did was worthy of raising me, and I wouldn't ask you anything else."
What does Jiang Zhen mean? He doesn’t want anything?
The people present looked at Jiang Zhen in confusion. At this time, Jiang Zhen said again: "After I was fifteen years old, I was basically doing the work at home. It can be said that I was working as a long-term worker for you. It has been a full ten years now. I don't want anything else. You have to give me the wages of being a long-term worker."
In Hexi Village, the main house has to take care of the long-term workers for meals, and in addition to this, he also has to pay wages.
Brother Zhao Jin works as a long-term worker at Zhao Dahu's house. If Zhao Dahu's house doesn't care about food, he will give him some food. In addition, he will also have to pay him a salary at the end of the year.
In the past, the copper coins are worth almost the same as the dollar before Jiang Zhen traveled through time. According to Jiang Boss Jiang’s memory, pork is sold for about a dozen copper coins per pound, and the grain is a few copper coins per pound.
One tael of silver, it is almost worth a thousand dollars in this way.
Of course, given the incomplete market in ancient times, people basically had little money in their hands these days, so their wages were generally very low. It was very kind to be a long-term worker for people. The owner could give five or six taels of silver. Generally, he would give three or four taels of silver or equivalent copper coins and grain.
"I have been a long-term worker for ten years, so I don't want much. Just give me forty taels of silver. In addition to farm work, I have also done a lot of work at home. You also have to give me five stones of food." Jiang Zhen said. He didn't want to have any involvement with the Jiang family in the future, and he didn't want to support Old Man Jiang, Old Lady Jiang, so naturally it would be impossible for him to really want Jiang butcher to divide the property equally. It would be better to draw a line and make a fortune and leave.
Jiang Zhen really didn't want much, and he could only buy two acres of paddy fields for 40 taels of silver. Jiang Ping and other villagers thought he was quite kind, but the Jiang family was not very happy.
They had thought that Jiang Zhen would be a long-term worker who would never spend money for them in their lifetime! How could they be willing to let Jiang Zhen leave with forty taels of silver and five stones of grain? Forty taels of silver! Where did they get so much money?!
However, even if they were unwilling to do so, seeing Jiang Zhen’s fierce look on his face and looking at Yang Jiang who was caught by Jiang Zhen, they could only compromise.
"Brother, we will give you everything you want. You can release Brother Yang quickly." Jiang Chengxiang agreed directly to Jiang Zhen.
"This is not possible." Jiang Zhen said again.
"You want to regret it?" Jiang Chengxiang was shocked.
"Of course not." Jiang Zhen said: "But if you actually want to harm me this time, I must ask for some compensation. The floor with the thatched hut on the west side of the village and the thatched hut on it will also be given to me. In addition, you have to renovate the thatched hut and clean it up! Whenever you make me live in that house, I will release him!"
Jiang Zhen said, patting Yang Jiang's face with the knife in his hand.
Before, Jiang Zhen dared to live in the Jiang family because the Jiang family did not have the ability to kill him. Even if they wanted to poison him, they would not get the colorless and tasteless □□ that he could not find. But now he offended a yamen runner and wanted to beware of others' conspiracy, and the Jiang family could no longer live.
Because of this, Jiang Zhen directly asked to separate the family, as for the Jiang family to clean up his residence...
He offended many people. In order not to implicate Brother Zhao Jin, he would definitely not be able to live in Zhao's house immediately after the separation, so he could only live alone.
Thinking that his relationship with Zhao Jin Ge was forced to go downstairs and the time for marriage would be postponed, Jiang Zhen's mood suddenly became a little bad, and at the same time he looked at Jiang Chengxiang gloomyly.
Jiang Chengxiang shook, feeling anxious. The house on the west side of the village was really broken, and it would take a lot of time to clean it up. If Jiang Zhen refused to let go of others during this period, Yang Jiang would suffer, and he would be afraid that he would hate him to death.
But at this point, what can they do besides listening to Jiang Zhen?
"Jiang Chengxiang, what are you doing here? Go and get the house ready!" Yang Jiang shouted. He was still wearing a knife around his neck. People from the Jiang family were not going to get things done quickly!
