- C229 Busy Dividing Family to Look for Flowers in Joy (China)
Xu Mingwei expressionlessly raised her head, and squeezed out a light smile towards Lady Wang. After she recovered, she softly said, “Mother’s words were true, my daughter-in-law was wrong after all.”
Mrs Wang had taught her that this soft nail could not be removed even if she did not take it in one breath. From the expression on Xu Mingwei’s face, it was obvious that she was still dissatisfied. How was it like what she said, “I was wrong in the first place”?
However, thinking that there was basically nothing that could be investigated, he could only endure his temper and kindly said to Xu Mingwei, “Child, you’re quite sincere. No matter what I said yesterday, you didn’t defend yourself, and now Mother is blaming you again. Those who know it still think that I’m worried. Those who don’t know it, I’m afraid you’ll have to be a powerful one that doesn’t care for your wife. ”
Lady Wang covered her mouth and laughed. Xu Mingwei looked at her and said softly, “Mother has always been the one who understands how to empathize with our younger generation the most. That cannot be wrong.”
When Lady Wang heard her words that seemed to contain information, but seeing her expression, and that there were no mistakes, she immediately agreed and told Xu Mingwei to take good care of Fu Heng, and led Nanny Xue away.
After they left far away, Fu Heng looked at Xu Mingwei, and then looked at the cup of tea that Lady Wang had drank before. Xu Mingwei ignored him and picked up the embroidery work again. Wan Rou heard the sound and peeked inside, asking Wan Rong curiously, “Young Master, what are you laughing at? It’s been almost an incense stick’s worth of time, and it still hasn’t stopped.
Wan Rong rolled his eyes at her, and said indifferently: “Grandmother doesn’t even care about me being in there, what are you worrying about? I’ve never seen anyone die from laughter. ”
Xu Mingwei secretly laughed inside, she shook her head, it could be seen that Fu Heng had no conscience either, seeing his mother laugh so happily after being angered by her.
Hearing their voices, Wei Bao turned around and looked at them, chewing on his wheat straw and walking away.
Fu Heng’s disease was extremely fierce, he had to recuperate at home for a while. Although the disease was cured, Lady Wang was still worried. She transferred over the bird’s nest from time to time, causing the second house and three rooms to be extremely envious.
It wasn’t that he was really eager to eat the bird’s nest, but he was just thinking about the benefits of having the head of the household in charge. Although née Wang said it was her dowry money, who knew if it was for the public?
Thinking about the foundation that the Old Master had built, he couldn’t even say how many Second Branch three rooms s he had right now. However, looking at the expenditure on the big house, it was likely that his family’s financial resources were not shallow. If everyone had it, then so be it. The fact that one room was stronger than the other, and they both ate better than the other. Such a large fortune was something that he had his share, yet he could neither see nor touch it. Who else would agree to it?
A year ago, Lady Jiao had openly and secretly told Mayer’s disease about the meaning of dividing the family. Even if it was truly impossible to differentiate them, she would have to at least share some of Pu Zi’s land under her own house.
“In the blink of an eye, children have grown up. Of those who marry, which family doesn’t want to be more considerate? However, he did not have the money on hand to pay for it. He only had to pay for a few pieces of furniture, not even a decent set. It would be fine if his family really did not have any money … What the heck is going on?! ”
Lady Jiao was actually ungrateful when she said this. The children of the Fu family were getting married. There were plenty of examples given by the officials to compare the families of the capital with the ones of the upper echelons. However, Lady Jiao was more inclined to compete with the upper echelons, so it was natural that she would not look down on them.
These were the few times that Mayer’s disease was moved by what Xu Mingwei had said. Furthermore, after the change to the Xu Mingwei as their butler, she had calculated the accounts very carefully, so the few stewards she arranged were unable to get anything good out of it. If she could really get some of the property, then when her two children talked about marriage in the future, she would have more confidence.
However, when he spoke this thought to the Fu family’s third master for the eleventh time, Fu Hongzhi, who had been silent all this while, finally put down his pipe gun and struck the hammer with a single stroke.
“We won’t split up. Think about how others will introduce you if you go out the door later. Will it be the third wife of the Marshal’s Mansion who is nicer to listen to, or will it be the Fu Family’s wife whose name is better to hear?” You have made up your mind. Whether you want to split up the family or not, I’ll do as you wish. ”
Mayer’s disease immediately felt a burst of cold water pouring down his head. After pondering for a long time, he asked, “Then, we can’t separate them?”
Fu Hongzhi puffed on his pipe but did not say a word.
Mayer’s disease read it once in his heart before it slowly faded. When he spoke about Lady Jiao, he only cared about embroidering and watching tea, and did not continue speaking. Lady Jiao had come across this soft nail a few times, and she gradually realized that three rooms was not on the same path as him. She hated him in his heart. She was probably someone who was unwilling to put in any effort to plant a peach tree, only willing to wait for the fruits to be harvested, and would never come back to three rooms.
Although Fu Hongyi, the second master of the Fu family, could not bear to keep his reputation at the top, and he also saw that Fu Heng had a good way out, he was after all, a softhearted person. After teaching the Lady Jiao a few times, he said that it was possible for one family to earn a lot of reputation.
The two of them planned for a few days to take the chance to explain this to Fu Hongbo.
The entire Fu Family was shaken. Fu Hongbo reprimanded his second brother, Fu Hongyi, in front of the three rooms, and showed him the “one watt, does not divide the family” legacy left behind by the Old Master. However, Fu Hongyi and the Lady Jiao knelt in front of the Ancestral Hall expressionlessly, each holding a broken rice bowl in their hands.
Fu Hongbo was so angry that he flipped over. From Xu Mingwei’s account of the past two years, she looked through it one by one. They were all distributed in accordance with the previous years’ rules, not a single cent less, not a single cent more.
Fu Hongyi only looked away as he spoke. The Lady Jiao glared at Fu Hongbo and Lady Wang with bloodshot eyes, but did not hear a single word she said to them. She thought that the people in the house were the enemies who were sucking blood and breaking marrow on their backs. She was completely convinced that she had been treated badly.
“Forget it!” Since you guys want to split up, then split up! ” Fu Hongbo taught his brother and sister-in-law their attitude and made them disheartened. He was afraid that if this continued, the Fu Clan would become a joke in the capital, so he had no choice but to agree to divide the family and face his ancestors. He kneeled down heavily in front of the ancestral hall and said, “Father, your son is unfilial.
When the Lady Jiao heard that he was willing to let go, joy appeared on her face, and after looking at Fu Hongbo’s pained expression, she coldly snorted in her heart.
Xu Mingwei watched everything clearly, thinking, after being able to endure for so long, it was really time to stop. Fu Heng touched her hand lightly and shook his head. Xu Mingwei knew that he had already told his father about it the last time he mentioned it. Since the house was prepared, Lady Jiao would probably be disappointed this time.
three rooms’s Fu Hongzhi and Mayer’s disease were originally only watching coldly, but when they heard that the eldest son agreed to split the family members, Mayer’s disease’s eyes showed regret, but he only stopped after Fu Hongzhi floated for a moment. Although they did not get any points for the family property, but at the moment, the Second Room was dividing the items, and the more things they divided, the fewer officials would be left. As such, when they heard Fu Hongbo call for Mrs Wang to bring over the land property, they could no longer hang it high in the air, and started gathering with a concerned expression.
At this time, the only one in three rooms could only look at his with a greedy eye, and had a look of arrogance on his face. In the eyes of the others, they felt that the Second House was beyond redemption, for the sake of a few fields and shops, and even disobeying the teachings of their ancestors, they were an unfilial family.
Fu Hongzhi’s eyes were fixated on the piece of paper his brother had taken out. Looking at the thick stack of paper in the dark box, he felt his breathing tighten. It turned out that their family still had some background, but they had to live a rough life. If it wasn’t because they had listened to their wife’s words and made a ruckus, they wouldn’t even be able to see these things, and for a moment, they felt that this house was worth it.
Lady Jiao was thinking the same thing. Seeing that the items in the box had extended their necks, she could not help but ask, “Big brother, how do we split the items?”
Fu Hongbo looked at her mockingly, then asked, “You mentioned the branch family, how do you want to split it?”
Lady Jiao rolled her eyes and laughed, “It was originally something left behind by the old man, so the three brothers in the family should have divided it evenly. As an official in the imperial court, Big Brother has his own ways of earning money. After all, we haven’t eaten all those years of farm produce, so it’s natural for us to be nervous. Besides, we’re separated this time. It would be good if we don’t move out of the second room, but if we move out, it will be a place to use money. They couldn’t help but ask their big brother and third brother to be considerate and split up. Big Brother, don’t you think so? ”
These words were both harsh and roguish. It was obvious that the house manager had stolen a lot of money from the officials. He also said that since the house owner had an official position, he should make less of it, but planned everything for himself. It was as if they hadn’t eaten or used any of the fields or the food produced in the past few years, and every year they didn’t use any of the rules either.
Fu Hongbo choked in anger, but it was Lady Wang who could not listen any longer, and laughed coldly, “Second Sister-in-Law, you truly have a good plan. Did the family ever lose you? Is the bonus on the store shorter than yours? If we’re going to split the family, then we have to split the family. There’s no need for us to go all out to split the family, and we’re planning to stay at big brother’s house and not leave! ”
Wang Shi’s words immediately cut off Lady Jiao’s plans. The Fu family was currently living in, but after Fu Hongbo became Grand Marshal, the mansion set aside by His Majesty wasn’t in the public domain.
