Reborn Tianlong: I practice martial arts for immortality

The next day at noon, my father and his friends came back with a few packets of medicinal herbs in their hands.

The silver was almost all spent, with only seven or eight hundred copper coins left.

After taking the medicine for several days, grandpa's health improved a lot.

I thought everything was fine, but with the arrival of severe winter, grandpa fell ill again.

There was no greenhouse effect during this period, and there were not so many cold-proof clothes.

Even in the Jiangnan region, winter is still very cold.

In the end, my grandfather did not survive the winter and passed away three days before the New Year at the age of 43.

As soon as my grandfather died, the Liu family sent someone to discuss the sale of the land again.

It was Butler Liu who came, completely disregarding the family's sad mood.

Not even waiting for the funeral to be over.

He thought that after his grandfather died, the Jiang family would sell the land to Mr. Liu.

He guessed half right. The greedy second aunt agreed immediately after hearing the price.

But my father yelled directly, "You Liu family are too bullying. Not long ago, I knelt in front of your door and offered to pay a doctor to treat my father, but you refused.

Even when my father was ill, he never agreed to sell the land.

My father's body is still warm, and even if I die, I, Jiang Dashan, will not sell the land to the Liu family."

Second Aunt looked at the huge pile of silver and felt a little reluctant to part with it, but she did not dare to object and could only murmur in a low voice.

But her father, who was already furious, yelled at her: "If you say anything more, you will be unfilial."

Second Aunt's face turned pale and she immediately shut her mouth.

In this era, being accused of being unfilial and being criticized by others is the least of your worries.

Second uncle stood aside, not knowing who to help.

He doesn't have much of his own opinion and used to listen to his father. Now that his father is gone, he has his eldest brother on one side and his wife on the other.

He didn't know what to say for a moment, so he just shut up and stood aside.

Butler Liu didn't expect Jiang Dashan to be so determined. He thought it was a mistake and should have come back after some time.

But after looking at his second aunt Li Cuihua, he felt that there was a chance, but the occasion was not right, so he turned around and left without saying anything.

After the funeral, it was already the second year. The snow melted and the family got busy again.

They either collect manure to make fertilizer, or take advantage of the snow melting and the moist ground to quickly turn over and loosen the soil in preparation for spring plowing.

The days seem to be the same, but they are different.

Second Aunt complained more and more, and sometimes even said something very unpleasant.

There is no elders to suppress me at home. Although the eldest brother is like a father, I don’t respect him as much anymore.

I didn't take it seriously at first, but I couldn't stand her constant sarcasm, which became more and more excessive.

The quarrels became more frequent. At first, it was between my second aunt and my mother. Later, my father couldn't stand it anymore and scolded my second aunt.

That night, my second aunt and my second uncle quarreled until midnight. I kept scolding my second uncle for being a coward and not knowing how to help him.

Chapter 6 Quarrel

As relationships deteriorate, even the smallest things can lead to arguments.

In the end, Jiang Weichen had no choice but to suggest to his father that they split the family. If they continued like this, they would not be able to survive.

After much consideration, my father had no choice but to agree to divide the family after the autumn harvest.

After the autumn harvest, the village chief was invited to witness the division of all assets into two parts so that no one would take advantage of anyone else.

After the division, my father sighed, "Alas, my second brother is indecisive. After the division, his wife will most likely sell the land."

This village is too small, so no secrets can be hidden from everyone.

Second Aunt has been acting weird and gossiping more and more recently, all because of the instigation of Butler Liu.

No one in the village is a fool, otherwise, for more than ten years, nearly half of the villagers would not have resisted the Liu family's financial offensive and collusion with officials to suppress them.

Second Aunt knew this, but she couldn't help her greed. She also thought that even if they sold the land, they would still be the best among the tenants, not only having enough to eat but also receiving bonuses.

Li E, who was standing by, said, "She's selling her own stuff. What's it got to do with you? Haven't they argued enough lately? Do you still want to control it? Can you control it?"

Jiang Dashan sighed, feeling angry but with nowhere to vent, so he went back to the house, took out a small jar of apricot blossom wine that he had treasured and started drinking it.

"Alas, now that we have no more food left, we should drink less wine."

"You know there's no food left, and you still drink it? I'll take the rest of the food in the cellar and exchange it for money someday.

Xiao He is already two years old, and she still hasn't worn a new piece of clothing. She's always wearing patches upon patches, and looks even more like a beggar than a beggar."

Jiang Dashan was even more depressed, and he couldn't even taste the wine anymore. He said:

"Okay, I'll take it to town to exchange it someday, okay?

If I let you take it to the Liu family to exchange, I don’t know how much you will lose.”

Li E angrily said, "It's all Mr. Liu's fault. He wants to take everything for himself. Why doesn't he just die?

In the past, people could raise silkworms, reel silk and weave cloth, but now all the mulberry trees in the village have been bought by him.

My father-in-law is also short-sighted. Why should he sell the mulberry tree next to the house to him?

Now I have nothing but skills, but I can only watch helplessly, working for the Liu family, and only getting paid three cents a day, like a beggar?"

"You're not done yet, are you? You can curse me all you want, but what are you doing to my father? You can't even let him rest in peace after his death?"

Jiang Dashan listened to his wife's chatter, feeling irritated. He said, "I'm afraid you've been infected by Cuihua's money-grubbing habits."

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the side: "What's wrong with that money-grubbing guy? Did he eat your rice? Or did he take your dirty money?"

Jiang Weichen was helpless. Why did they start arguing again? They had just separated and it had been less than half an hour.

"Dad, Mom, please each of you stop talking. My little sister just went to bed."

"You should tell your mother about this. I can't afford to offend you, but can I not hide from you?"

Jiang Dashan went out after he finished speaking.

"Where are you going? It's getting dark."

"I want you to take care of it?"

"I don't want to care. I mean, it's dark in the middle of winter. If you fall into a stinky ditch, you can wash your clothes yourself."

…………

Less than a month had passed, and my second uncle's land was indeed bought by the Liu family.

My second uncle and his family also went from working for themselves to working for others.

After that, life at my second uncle's house obviously improved.

Second Aunt kept showing off in front of my mother, which made my mother very annoyed, and the two started arguing again.

The quarrels did not end with the separation, but instead of quarrels occurring every day, they became quarrels occurring every three to five days.

The two families lived next to each other. After dark, when they had nothing to do, they would squat in the house and talk, and it was inevitable that they would talk about each other.

If someone is listening carefully, they will be heard even if they don't whisper.

Once someone hears something, it's fine if it's just nice words, but once something unpleasant is heard, they start arguing immediately.

Jiang Weichen also gradually got used to it. He used to persuade her a few times, but now he has become accustomed to it.

As long as they don't fight, let them quarrel as much as they want.

Time passed slowly, and in the summer of the following year, Second Aunt gave birth to another son and named him Jiang Tianhe.

Two years ago, my second aunt got pregnant with her second child, but she had a miscarriage because of poor fetal preservation.

The second aunt who gave birth to a son was even more proud. She felt that everything was getting better for them since the family split up.

Faced with her second aunt's boasting, Li E was so angry that she wanted to have another son, completely forgetting what she had said before.

I have said before that if the next child is a son, I will sell my daughter Jiang Xiaohe.

At that time, my mother was against it and said she would not have any more children.

From that day on, Jiang Weichen, who lived on the second-floor fence, always heard some strange noises.

With the efforts of both of them, they were finally confirmed to be pregnant half a month before the New Year.

Both the father and the mother had a glimmer of hope, hoping it would be a son.

Jiang Weichen felt a little anxious as he looked at his little sister who was about to turn three and was pestering him all day long.

After the Chinese New Year, he was nine years old. Perhaps he should leave Xinghua Village. He could not change his family life in Xinghua Village.

Increasing farmland yields? This idea existed at first, but after thousands of years of exploration by the ancients, it was already very mature.

There is a mature system for composting, seed selection, soil turning, etc. The reason why the yield cannot be increased is because there are no high-yield crop seeds.

Potatoes are still in North America, and although Jiang Weichen has enjoyed the fruits of hybrid rice and understands a little bit, it is too fragmented and he does not have the conditions now.

In the past two years, Jiang Weichen has gone to the river to fish, gone up the mountain to collect firewood with his father, and helped in the fields. He has become quite capable.

After finishing their work in the fields, my father and mother went to work for the Liu family, although they were reluctant, just for a few cents a day.

The Liu family had too many fields, and during the busy farming season, the tenants were unable to handle it all, so even though there were conflicts, they accepted everyone who came.

If they hadn't been exploited so badly, the Jiang family would have no problem raising another child.

But it’s not possible now. It was fine in the first two years, but after that, the little brats made me poor.

Jiang Weichen felt that he should take the initiative to leave Xinghua Village because he would never be able to make a name for himself in it.

If there is no other way and he really has to sell himself, then let him go, go to a county town farther away, find a wealthy family with a good reputation and a scholarly background, and if he shows off a little bit of intelligence, he can be a study companion.

Wait until you grow up and then choose a way to escape. Of course, all this has to happen after the baby in the mother's belly is born.

Time passes slowly and the Chinese New Year is coming soon.

Two days before the New Year, the Liu family suddenly had a dozen or so teenagers around ten years old. These teenagers had no hostility towards the Liu family, but were grateful to them.
