Standing together through thick and thin

Chapter 57 Leaving

"Since you want to branch out, Brother Qiu, you really should know the truth. This is left by your father. Take it and have a look!"

Shao Qiu looked at Patriarch Shao holding a piece of wrapped silk, he had always wanted to get it, but when he saw Patriarch Shao's guilty and sighing expression, he suddenly didn't want to take it.

But in the end, he still took it.

"Father, you can't branch!" Shao Qin suddenly walked up to Mr. Shao, "Father, if you branch, the money..."

Mr. Shao suddenly turned bricks and slapped Shao Qinshi forcefully, "If I say branch, then branch. How dare you go against my will?"

Mr. Shao's gaze was too cold, and Mrs. Shao Qin didn't dare to say a word.

It was the first time for Shao Yang, who was standing next to Shao Qin's, to see his grandfather like this. He was like a devil, even his mother had suffered so much, and he dared not say a word.

Usually Mr. Shao behaved amiably, ignored Shaoqiu's family and let them fend for themselves, but Shaoqiu surfaced his darkness on the surface to let everyone see his true face, but Shaoqiu No matter what, Mr. Shao turned out to be like this.

Shao Qiu looked at the things in the silk, and there was a piece of sandalwood that was half the size of a palm. There were a few ancient and mysterious characters engraved on the sandalwood. Shao Qiu didn't know it, but he could feel the weight of these words.Shao Qiu would notice it first, and because the words on this sandalwood have a strange flow of energy, this sandalwood is no longer an ordinary sandalwood. Those golden characters protect the sandalwood from deterioration.

There is also a gold medal inside, and the word "Shao" is engraved on the gold medal.

It is very likely that they are from the same clan, but they are more likely to be from a wealthy family.

"Your father is indeed not Mr. Shao's own son. I also knew about this back then. Your father is... I know this is wrong, but back then, Mr. Shao's family had no sons and daughters. I feel sorry for them. Elderly, he agreed and didn't mention it again. In the beginning, he was really kind to your father until Jiang became pregnant with Erlang..."

"Hey, I won't talk about the past. Before your father went to the battlefield, I showed him the token. He was silent at the time, and only left me a letter, asking me to take good care of you... Hey, it’s all because of my incompetence, and it’s all because of me watching you suffer, but I can’t do anything about it, since you want to branch off, let’s split up, and your life will be easier.”

Patriarch Shao didn't seem to want to care about this matter anymore.

Shao Qiu looked at the silk silk, besides the sandalwood, there was indeed Shao Ruide's letter inside.

Shao Ruide said that he was frustrated with the Shao family and was willing to go to the battlefield for his wife and children. He only asked Mr. Shao to promise not to embarrass his wife and children again, and Mr. Shao agreed at that time.

But Mr. Shao is a despicable person. He could not make things difficult, but he did not allow the Jiang family and the Shao Qin family to make things difficult for them and torment them. As long as he was on the sidelines, it would not be considered a breach of the agreement.

Shao Qiu held back the anger in his chest and took a few deep breaths.

There are not many things in the silk, except for a letter left by Shao Ruide, there is also a gold character "Shao", and a piece of sandalwood with characters he does not know engraved on it.

These are very likely to be the proof of Shao Ruide's identity, and at the same time, they are also the people who can prove the identity of Shao Qiu and others.

Now, Shao Ruide may be dead, so these are actually useless.

"Patriarch, since grandpa must branch, let's branch!"

The so-called branches will have nothing to do in the future, except for the kindness they have supported. They need to give some gifts on weekdays and festivals. At other times, they are just like ordinary villagers, and they don't need to hand over any money every month.

This is different from a separated family. A separated family is still the same family. If it is branched, it is not considered a family. It is just because of the relationship of nurturing grace that it is closer than the villagers, but that is all.

The village head and Lizheng came in one after another, and everyone began to talk about the branch.

Shao Qiu and the others still live in the old house, because the new house built by Shao Ruide has already been given to them, and they will definitely not let it out now, but because Shao Lao insisted on branching, under the influence of Shao Qiu, the Jiang family will no longer resist them. There are only two juniors, Shao Qin and Shao Yang, how can they get angry?

Therefore, at the end of the branch, the Shaoqiu family only needed to pay another 20 taels of silver to repay the nurturing grace, even if they were completely separated from the Shao family.

Shaoqiu could afford this money, but he paid it in installments. Under the witness of the patriarch, village head, and Li Zheng, he paid 20 taels of silver within a year, and the old Shao family gave the Lu family an additional ten mu of good quality. paddy fields.

So, this branch event came to an end!

All documents and agreements were handed over to the master bookkeeper on the same day.
