"Xin'er, you just said that you could only tell grandpa to buy five hundred catties, why is that?" Luo Ping asked again.

"Don't suffer from few, but suffer from inequality!" Luo Xin said softly.

"What do you mean?" Luo Ping asked with a frown.

"That is to say, I don't worry about the less, but I am worried about the uneven distribution." Luo Xin said seriously: "Dad, it's not impossible for us to give food to grandpa's family, but we have to make a profit, okay?" If in the future we give them food, and it is not good, or even leave a bad name, it will not be worth it. When the time comes, if you don't say that my mother will be angry, even you will feel uncomfortable, right? And none of this matters, you don't want to have a grudge with your grandfather, uncle, and uncle's family because of this, right? Don't you want to leave a reputation for unfilial piety in the village, do you? ”

On the side, Roche's face changed.

How to drop?

Will they be scolded for giving them food for nothing? Will it leave a reputation for unfilial piety? It's better not to give it! Thinking that he probably did not gain status in the family, won the respect between his parents-in-law and concubines, but left a reputation for unfilial piety, Luo was not happy at that time.

Luo Ping sat there wrinkling his brows and thinking, although he was honest but not stupid. Hearing Luo Xin's words "not suffering from widowhood but suffering from unevenness", I understood after pondering for a while. However, he was still honest, and still asked puzzledly:

"Xin'er, our family bought 2,000 catties, and when the time comes, give your grandfather 1,000 catties, isn't it very even? In this way, you can always get a filial name, right? ”

Luo Xin shook his head and said, "No!" ”

"Why?"

"Because you're not doing the right thing."

"What's wrong?"

"Because we only have four people in our family. And the grandfather's family has nine people. They will think that our family has left more than 1,000 catties, and it should be divided according to the population. ”

Luo Ping's face immediately turned unpleasant, he was not angry with Luo Xin. Instead, I thought that my grandfather's family would really be like this. Before the separation, there was no less bullying for his family, and when bullying had become a habit, it became natural. If they keep a thousand catties for their own family, their hearts will definitely be uncomfortable, and at that time they will not feel that this is relief for them, but will be jealous and hate their own family.

"Good. Just do as the letter says. ”

"And ......" Luo Xin's expression became serious and said: "Once there is a food shortage, you can't give your grandfather's family two hundred and fifty catties of grain at once." ”

This time Luo Ping did not speak. He just looked at him inquiringly. After being nurtured by later generations, Luo Xin understands human nature too well, so he said lightly:

"Grandpa's family has nine people, and there is food. Knowing that we have it at home, they will let go of their bellies and eat, and the two hundred and fifty catties of grain will soon be eaten, and then they will continue to ask us for it with confidence, shall we give it or not? And if they give it to them once, they will only be grateful for a while, and they will not be able to make their gratitude a habit. Dad, our family will get better and better, not to mention our share of Uncle Lu's money. When my eldest brother and I become officials, our family's lives will change drastically.

It's not that I'm not filial to my grandparents, uncles and uncles. Rather, they are afraid that they will become white-eyed ...... who are not fed."

"Ahem...... cough twice, Luo Ping also stopped, did not say the word "wolf", but continued:

"At that time, they still thought that our family was as easy to bully as before, and habitually let our family do this and that. My eldest brother and I will definitely not do it, so we will have a grudge again. It is inevitable that the uncle and uncle will gossip in the village, which will affect the reputation of our family. This is all a trivial matter, and if the uncle and uncle's family go out to do something deceitful in the future with the reputation of me and my eldest brother, this will be a disaster for our family. So we have to start now, start small, and put an end to this from happening.

Dad, mother, and the second elder should establish authority in the Luo family and make them fear us. Dad, you must have a position in the Luo family, so that you can avoid causing trouble in the future. ”

Luo Ping frowned and said, "Xin'er, I know you're right, but do this?" ”

"Let's start with giving them food!" Luo Xin said seriously: "We will give them ten catties at a time." ”

"Ten pounds is enough for them to eat for a few days?" Luo Ping's face was a little unbearable.

Luo Xin said with a smile: "It's not that they don't help them anymore, or that they keep coming to our house to ask for food, so that they will continue to be grateful to our family, even if it's only a few months, it will wear away the pride of the uncle and uncle, and make them feel that they are a head short in front of their father and mother, and they will become respectful from gratitude." ”

Luo Shi was already dancing at this time, thinking of his sister-in-law and sister-in-law bowing their heads in front of him, complimenting his appearance, his heart was comfortable, not to mention a thousand catties of grain, even if two thousand catties could be exchanged for that status, she was also happy. But Luo Ping thought a little more.

"Xin'er, if they come to ask for food once, we can take out ten catties of grain, but we told your grandfather that he bought five hundred catties of grain, and the two families together have thirteen people, which is not enough to eat for a few months. When the time comes, we will still be able to take out the grain, how can this be explained? Your grandfather will think that our family is lying and hate us, and we will also leave a reputation for unfilial piety. ”

That's what I'm going to talk about next! The previous actions can only make them respect our family, whether it is the wisdom revealed by our family's early storage of food, or the filial piety of willing to help grandpa, will make them respect our family, but it cannot make them afraid.

Dad, in a few days, you can transform the ox cart at home and make a dark grid at the bottom of the ox cart. At that time, after the 500 catties of grain were eaten, I put 100 catties of grain in the secret compartment in advance, and then my father and I drove the ox cart into the county seat, and when we came back, we said that we had borrowed 100 catties of grain from Uncle Lu.

Who is Uncle Lu?

When Grandpa knew that we could borrow food from Uncle Lu's family, Grandpa's family would be afraid. Hey...... At that time, we can still say that we borrowed some food from the county magistrate's family, I don't believe that my grandfather's family dares not to look down on our family?

Only in this way, on the one hand, we relieved my grandfather's family and did our filial piety. On the other hand, our family has also won the position. A lot less trouble later. ”

"Great, just do what Xin'er said." Roche's eyebrows fluttered.

Luo Ping thought for a moment, and finally nodded.

"Dad, don't tell grandpa about buying food. We first secretly bought back 1,500 catties, and then told our grandfather about buying grain. If Grandpa agreed, the two of us would go to the county to buy grain together. If Grandpa doesn't agree, let's go by ourselves, and at that time Grandpa's family will only know that we bought 500 catties of grain and came back. ”

"And our first three times?"
