Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1463 My Altay 10

Sulitan has had almost nothing going his way recently. The only thing that comforted him a little was that Xu Qin suggested that he keep the shotgun.

But before he could be happy for two days, his youngest son Batai brought back bad news - Murati owed more than 2,000 yuan for wine on credit at Zhang Fengxia's store!

Sulitan couldn't help but curse a few times, and Ba Tai quickly explained: "Dad, the customs of the Han people are opposite to ours. They believe that if they come to a person's house to collect debts before the anniversary of the death of the deceased, it will make the deceased unable to rest in peace. It means breaking off relations with the person, and people around them will condemn them for their bad character."

Sulitan couldn't imagine, "There is such a custom?"

Ba Tai directly brought up Xu Qin: "It was Xu Qin who reminded Li Wenxiu, so Li Wenxiu came to tell me."

Xu Qin's face was indeed quite impressive, and Sulitan finally believed that the Han people's customs and habits in this regard were different from theirs. After much thought, he could only choose a strong camel from his own livestock and give it to Zhang Fengxia to pay off the debt.

Zhang Fengxia also learned about the different customs from Li Wenxiu. To be honest, she was really afraid of Sulitan. Even though she didn't think Sulitan had ever killed anyone, he did have a shotgun!

Moreover, everyone around him knew that Sulitan had a bad temper. He would beat Murati or Batai whenever he wanted.

So when Sulitan came to her house, she went out to greet him and locked Li Wenxiu in the house.

Sulitanhan didn't say much, and he didn't talk much either. He just handed the reins of the camel to Zhang Fengxia and said four words: "Camel, to pay the debt."

Although Sulitan's gloomy face made people feel a little scared, Zhang Fengxia's eyes immediately lit up and she quickly greeted him with a smile: "Okay, okay, then Sulitan, can I follow you along the Fairy Bay Trail when my family moves?"

Seeing Zhang Fengxia mention the matter of moving together without hesitation, Sulitan was more convinced that this was indeed the custom of the Han people. He nodded and said, "Okay, our family will leave soon, and you have to follow."

Zhang Fengxia felt relieved and felt more relaxed. She nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, I'll definitely catch up!"

Seeing this, Li Wenxiu couldn't help but sigh to her mother Zhang Fengxia: "This society in the mountains seems far away from the modern civilized order, but in fact it has its own way of restraint. This kind of restraint brought about by the instinctive mutual needs between people seems limited, but in fact it is almost enough."

Zhang Fengxia would not say that Li Wenxiu's words were too flowery. She was just relieved that she had finally begun to take this land and the life here seriously. "If you think this way, I will feel relieved to take you to the summer ranch."

Sulitan postponed the time of the migration just for the anniversary of his eldest son Murati. The young people in the village rode on tall horses and bid farewell to Murati with the old men in a sad and solemn manner. Token's divorce was also put on the agenda.

Before they set off, Token's family came to Sulitan's house to discuss matters concerning Token and the two children.

Grandpa Xu is the party secretary here, and he can participate in any affairs in the village. Of course, Xu Qin took advantage of Grandpa Xu's face and sat in the living room of Sulitan's house.

Uncle Buick explained the situation first: "Mulati died unexpectedly. According to our tradition, Token should marry Batai with his two children, Yeldana and Nadira. Batai needs to take care of his sister-in-law and the children instead of his brother."

It was Uncle Buick's words that made Mrs. Ba speak out her own thoughts: "I am willing to take care of Token and the child, but taking care of someone is not the same as getting married."

Token also made a direct statement: "I had already mentioned divorce before Murati died, and I want to divorce with the children."

Sulitan directly objected: "Jiangbuer and Jianar are both our children, you just need to get married according to tradition."

Everyone began to persuade Token to marry Batai, and also persuaded Batai to marry his sister-in-law so that he could take care of his brother's widow and orphans. However, the two young people involved had their own ideas and were against this marriage.

Grandpa Xu naturally supported Ba Tai and Token, but he also knew very well that Sulitan didn't want Token to take his grandchildren away, so he was not in a hurry to speak. As the people in the room talked, their voices became louder and it looked like they were arguing. The scene was very chaotic, so Grandpa Xu said they should just disperse as no result would be achieved by arguing like this.

Token took his two children out of the house and took the woman from his family with him. After leaving, she once again expressed her desire to remarry with her children.

The two women expressed at this time that they understood Token's feelings, but it was somewhat embarrassing for them to have a remarried woman in the family.

Token cried for a long time out of grievance, and explained again that Mulati had said before his death that he wanted a divorce, and she had been waiting for a long time.

The women from Token's family could only say that it was not so easy to accomplish, and if Sulitan strongly objected, they would have no say.

Sulitan in the house angrily asked Batai: "Can't you take care of your brother's children? Do you have to watch them go to other people's homes?"

Ba Tai could only reiterate his thoughts: "But caring and getting married are not the same thing."

"I don't want the ranch. I can come back to help in the summer, and then I'll go back to the ranch after the summer. If you insist that I marry Token, then I'll leave tonight."

After that, he couldn't help but glance at Xu Qin. Xu Qin was stunned for a moment, and quickly winked at his grandfather, then went out to find Token.

Token was preparing lunch with the women. When she saw Xu Qin coming, she couldn't help but pull Xu Qin aside to ask about the situation inside.

Xu Qin was also happy to explain to her, "Uncle Sulitan was mainly worried about the two children leaving home. He thought that if they didn't grow up in this family, they would no longer be the children of the family in the future."

Token understood Sulitan's concerns, but was a little speechless. "But if Yeldana and Nadira stay in this house, they won't even be able to go to school. They will just be herding for the rest of their lives and won't be able to go to a better place!"

Xu Qin couldn't help but praise Token: "Token, you are a very good mother."

He moved closer and lowered his voice to promise in Token's ear: "I will help you convince Uncle Sulitan, don't worry."

Xu Qin's promise was very useful to Token. She couldn't help crying for joy. She didn't understand why she felt so complicated when she should be happy about it.

At this time, Mrs. Ba came in, and Xu Qin quickly avoided her. Seeing Mrs. Ba's eyes following Xu Qin's figure, Token finally believed that Mrs. Ba would stand on her side. "I believe you stand on my side, but you don't have the final say on this matter. Only Dad has the final say."

Ba Tai just said: "Sister-in-law, if Murati promised you a divorce, then our family will keep its word and let you remarry with your children. I will also persuade Dad."

Token felt that what he had just said was in vain, and sneered, "Do whatever you want. You men can go wherever you want, but we women can only stay at home to cook, wash clothes, and take care of the children. We don't even have time to go out."

Token choked with sobs. Nadira tilted her head back and stroked the back of her hand to comfort her: "Mom, mom, don't cry..."

Batai was also upset, and Token tried to hold back his tears and said, "I've told Mulati many times to go to the store and bring me a washboard..."

"But when he died, he didn't bring it back!"
