Whether he bribed officials to destroy documents, or made his daughter hide her identity as a slave, this was despised by the people of the state capital.
Even decent people were unwilling to associate with them, feeling that their family tradition was too bad and that they had no bottom line. People who had originally intended to marry the Wu family even backed away, pretending that it was nothing.
No one cares about me.
The dependents of the Wu family were so angry that some of their marriages that were about to be arranged fell apart, which made them even more dissatisfied with the Wu family's big house.
Since last year, Dafang has been continuously ruining the reputation of the Wu family, and now it is even worse, affecting their children. How can they endure this?
When the dividends they received at the end of the month were much smaller than in previous years, the accumulated anger was immediately filled.
The elders in other rooms rushed directly to find Mrs. Wu.
"Madam, our second house's dividend this month is only 100 taels. How will we live with these 100 taels? It's not even enough to eat. Are you going to let us drink the northwest wind? Your son can only buy an inkstone for more than 100 taels. You guys
The direct line is a treasure, but our side branches are just grass, right?"
"That is, at the end of the year, the dividends we received were already very small. At that time, you told Shilin that things would be better after the next year, but the result is that it is not as good as it was then."
"My Qing'er's wonderful marriage fell through because of your eldest brother-in-law. My daughter-in-law sheds tears at home every day. Why should we be implicated in the evil done by your eldest brother-in-law? Don't you make some compensation?
"
The people in these houses were indeed inferior to Mrs. Wu in terms of status, but they were higher in seniority. Mrs. Wu could not break up with them, otherwise their positions would not be stable. She was very angry, as the Wu family had not given them less in the past.
The good thing is that they are in trouble this time. They don't want to unite as one and work together to help Dafang overcome this difficulty. Instead, they only focus on opposing her. They are like a bunch of white-eyed wolves. Although she is extremely angry, she can only coax them.
"When Shilin recovers his health, I will give you an explanation. Shilin is not feeling well, and something happened to Shuhei. I have been busy taking care of Shilin recently, so something went wrong. Just get over it for a while.
Already."
Mrs. Wu is now planning to use the procrastination technique to wait for a while before talking.
Unfortunately, the other rooms are not vegetarian either.
The uncle of the second room said with a stern face: "How long will it take for Shi Lin to recover his health? I heard that Shi Lin was so angry that he had a stroke and couldn't even speak. How can we expect him to lead us at this time?"
Will our Wu family survive this difficult time? If we continue to delay, our Wu family’s century-old wealth will be lost to your eldest family. Are you worthy of the ancestors of the Wu family?"
"Second uncle, are you telling the truth? My eldest brother really had a stroke?"
"It's absolutely true. Why did I lie to you? Otherwise, why would I be in such a hurry."
"My second uncle is right. How can we count on a person who has suffered a stroke?"
A circle of gold stars appeared in front of Mrs. Wu's eyes, and she could no longer stand still. She bit her lower lip so hard that it drew blood. The pain made her barely maintain her consciousness. She was frightened and angry in her heart. She had been
They carefully concealed the fact that their husband had a stroke and only said that he was unwell. How did the second uncle find out? Who betrayed them in their house?
People in the other rooms exchanged glances with each other, took a step forward, and formed an attitude of surrounding Mrs. Wu, with an aggressive tone.
"Madam, Xiuping is in jail and Shilin has suffered a stroke, but the other men in the Wu family are still there. It's not your turn to be the one who calls the shots in the Wu family. You concealed Shilin's physical condition. Could it be that you want to take advantage of Shilin?
The name is convenient. This is the Wu family, not your Song family."
Mrs. Wu was so angry that her face turned red. She was a dignified lady of the Song family, but she did not even bother to do such a thing. Just because her two sons were still young and could not control these side branches with evil intentions, she had to hide the matter and thought
After delaying for a while, she would use the power of her mother's family to suppress her. Who knew that before her mother's family came, the people in these houses would attack her.
"Either hand over the cards. If you can't manage the Wu family, let us take care of it. Or we can separate the family!"
They don't want to continue to be burdened by their big family, so they might as well take this opportunity to separate. Wu Shilin has suffered a stroke now and can't suppress them as before. They might be able to take the opportunity to share more money. This is a unique opportunity. Likewise.
They are all children of the Wu family. Wu Shilin is just luckier than them. He is the eldest son, and as a result, he takes over most of the property. The status of their other families in the family may not be as good as that of the housekeeper of the big family. In the past, they endured
It's to get the benefits. Now that the benefits are gone, who wants to continue to endure it?
Separate the family?
Mrs. Wu simply cannot accept it. If the family is separated at this time, their eldest family will definitely suffer. She has long regarded the Wu family's property as the property of her sons. How can she be willing to distribute it to these side branches? It is even less possible to let them manage the house.
Well, who knows if these greedy people will secretly sell off their property to enrich their own pockets.
However, this was not something Mrs. Wu could do without separating the families if she wanted to. The other families had a tacit understanding on this matter and joined forces to put pressure on the big family.
Mrs. Wu's two sons, Wu Xiujie and Wu Xiuhe, who are still at home, want to help their mother support the situation. However, these two young men have never been in charge of affairs before and are more like mascots in the family. How can they fight?
Elders from other houses.
The separation of the Wu family became a matter of course after a period of commotion. Although the influence of the other families was certainly not as powerful as that of Dafang, which had been in business for many years, they could not resist the fact that they had more or less control over Dafang. If they were not given
If they have enough benefits, they will kill them all.
For this reason, and because she was a female, Mrs. Wu had to make concessions to them.
The Wu family used to have millions of assets, but they have been suppressed in the past two years. In addition, they have been selling off their properties to raise money to smoothen their relationships. Now they only have 600,000 taels of assets left. After the division of the family, only the Wu family's big house is left.
She had paid two hundred thousand taels, which seemed like a lot, but many of them were real estate such as houses, shops, and dye houses. Moreover, she had to sell off her property to support her eldest son, and she could not let Shuhei continue to suffer in the prison cell.
Mrs. Wu looked in a daze. Two years ago, she was still the mistress of the Wu family, and she was always admired by stars wherever she went. How could she have fallen to this level?
…
Yuan family.
Wu Shu read the letter sent from the state capital and read it to Su Yueling.
This letter was sent to her by Aunt Chen of the Wu family, telling her about the separation of the Wu family.
It has to be said that Dafang's current fate really makes her very happy.
Su Yueling was very surprised, "Well, Aunt Chen wanted to harm you before, but she actually took the initiative to write to you and tell you this."
Wu Shu smiled softly, "Her precious son was kicked out of the house and sentenced to prison. She probably hated the Wu family because of this, so she is willing to watch the Wu family's jokes."
She paused, "As for her writing to me, she probably hopes that Wu Xiuping and I will convey this matter."
Su Yueling nodded, "Such a happy event must be shared with Wu Xiuping. He is in jail now, and he must really want to know what's going on at home."
The corners of Wu Shu's lips curled up, "After all, we are brothers and sisters. I will fulfill his wish and tell him the Wu family's affairs in detail to prevent him from thinking wildly."
