Old Mrs. Deng had done all these calculations last night with the help of Song Qiu, who is good at arithmetic. She remembered them firmly and said them now without any hesitation. They were very smooth.
Everyone listened and thought about it in their minds. If we divide it this way, it's pretty much the same. It's indeed correct.
Zhang Gugua saw that his mother spoke in a logical manner. From this look, it seemed that he was not at a loss for getting the house in the county?
But why! Why should we divide the family and give him the house that was originally his? He still has to pay out two taels of silver, and he has to support the elderly, and he has no share in the ancestral house?
Why should Zhang Donggua, a son of the Li family, want to share the property of the old Zhang family? Bai Gua shared twenty-four taels of silver, and he was the only one who took advantage?!
That's twenty-four taels of silver. If I don't give the second brother a share, the third of them can get a few more taels of silver!
Zhang Digua doesn’t do it anymore!
At the end of the split, he didn't get anything out of it, and he still had to pay more than fifty taels in return? He was the one who lost the whole family? No way, no way!
The two brothers looked at each other and an alliance was formed again.
Zhang Gugua, who was no longer afraid of offending others, immediately charged into the battle and got ahead, "I have an opinion! How can I not have an opinion? My mother said it was fair, and this is how the division is divided?"
"Now that we have reached this point, my son is no longer afraid to tell the truth!" He glanced at Zhang Donggua and snorted, "Everyone in the village knows that the second son is not my father's biological son, nor does he belong to the old Zhang family.
Bloodline, my father just gave him food, drink and money to raise him regardless of past grudges. There is no reason why he would come to divide the property of the old Zhang family! If we want to divide the family property, it will be divided between me and the third and fourth children! The second child,
He should be separated like this!"
Zhang Digua didn't care to shrink back now, and nodded in agreement, "That's the truth! Brother is right!"
Mr. Tang looked at each other and shook his head silently.
This is the reason, not from a father, but from the intestines of a direct biological mother. The boss and the third child are really outrageous.
A glimmer of light flashed in Old Deng's eyes, and she knew that she had been waiting for this word!
Old Mrs. Deng's face was startled, and he seemed a little uncomfortable. He looked at Zhang Gugua and asked, "Do you brothers really think so?"
Zhang Gugua twitched his lips and said with a righteous look, "Mom, it's not that my son is stingy and doesn't care about brotherhood. It's really that the second son is not a son of the old Zhang family. The ancestors know this secretly! If we really let the old man
I'm afraid the ancestors will not be happy if I go to Lao Zhang's family for a piece of property! As the eldest son, if my son can't even protect the family property, he will be ashamed of his ancestors!"
What you say is really better than what you sing. Are your ancestors unhappy? Your ancestors have been reincarnated somewhere long ago. Who cares about this?
Old Deng curled his lips inwardly, glanced at the expressions of Mr. Tang and others from the corner of his eye, raised his sleeves and wiped his eyes, his tone choked with sobs, "We are all my mother's sons. My mother doesn't expect you brothers to be respectful, united and harmonious, but she also
I didn’t expect that you, the eldest brother and the third child, don’t regard the second child as your biological brother at all!”
"Hey, as a mother, I have to respect your opinions. If that's the case, if you don't regard me as a member of the Zhang family, then I won't share the family property with you!"
"Boss, you keep saying that the second child is from the Li family, so he has a foreign surname! Your father raised him. In the past ten years, the two of them have taken back the wages from the Cheng family to supplement their family income. Boss, you have spent the most on these.
Think of it as repaying your father's kindness for raising him, and it's enough to repay it, so I won't talk about it anymore!
But the eighty taels of silver that the couple just pledged their freedom for ten years to buy a house must be returned to them! There is also the bride price from Lihua. These are not from the Zhang family. We
How can you have the shame to use other people’s money?”
Zhang Gugua was confused. How could he still operate like this?
Isn't this pulling back to the past?
If he had known this, why would he be so excited? It would be better to just ask the second brother to give him twenty taels instead of giving him ninety taels!
Zhang Digua was also a little stunned. No matter how fast his mind turned, he was still unable to recover from his mother's hand.
Before the two brothers could react, Old Deng was already talking loudly, "The second child is not from the Old Zhang family, so just do as the eldest said and let him cleanse himself and leave the house, just like that! He is from the Old Zhang family."
You brothers will get three shares of the family property! Don’t give him a penny!
Let me figure it out again. How much money does it cost to put together a house, a shop, and a mansion? Two hundred and seventy-seven taels! After excluding the debt of thirty taels and the ninety taels from the second child, there is still something left.
One hundred and fifty-seven taels!
One is divided into 70% and the other is 30%. The eldest brother gets one hundred, ninety-two, nine hundred cents, and the third and fourth elders each get twenty-three, two, five hundred and fifty cents!"
Seeing how slippery old Deng was, the two Zhang Gugua brothers were very suspicious that his mother had calculated it in advance!
Is it possible that his mother has no intention of giving the second son a cent of the old Zhang family's money?
Seeing such a division, I had to shell out not just two taels of silver, but dozens of taels!
Zhang Gugua quickly took over what Old Deng said, "Mom! Stop it! Stop it first! My son was in a daze just now and didn't think too much. Now that he has thought clearly, how can he say that? It's the son's fault, but the second child is not
My biological brother, he should have a share of this family property! Just divide it as my mother said before! My son wants to take out two taels of silver, right? My son will take it now!"
His face became so expressive that Mr. Tang watched the dramas going on in the Zhang family and didn't know what to do.
Zhang Digua also quickly calculated the account. If he gave the second child a cent, he would pay fifty-five taels. If he did not give the second child a cent, he would pay fifty-seven taels. It was not much different. He had to pay for it anyway, so he would definitely not give it.
The second child is divided, if the second child is missing, the second child will be two liang!
But this way the boss can pay a lot. It’s his house and he’s causing trouble, so why should he pay only two liang?
"Brother, how can you change just because you say you want to? You have to be honest, how can you be different from what you mean? You clearly don't think so in your heart, so why bother talking about it? Second brother is not a bloodline of the old Zhang family. This is a fact. He
You can’t divide the old Zhang family’s property!”
Seeing that the third child was causing trouble, Zhang Gugua's face darkened and he immediately retorted.
As a result, the two confederate brothers quarreled on the spot.
You said something to me, and the scene was so beautiful.
Zhang Gugua couldn't win the argument with Zhang Digua, a sharp-tongued businessman. Later, he wanted to get Zhang Hugua to help. If he didn't give the second brother a share, the fourth brother would have to pay several taels of silver!
Zhang Hugua pretended not to hear and watched the two of them arguing. Anyway, he listened to his mother and had already agreed.
"Okay!" Old Mrs. Deng slammed the table, "If it doesn't work this way, it won't work that way. It's just a separate house. Do you think it's a market for buying meat and haggling? How can two grown men be so talkative like an old woman? This
Who has the final say at home? I’m not dead yet!”
Zhang Gugua and both of them shut up at the same time. Of course, they were tired of arguing.
Seeing that the people had stopped, Old Deng immediately made the decision, "Just as we agreed later, it suits your brothers' wishes. The second son will leave the house and go back to his old Li's house! The old Zhang family will return the money that was taken away from them."
Hey, you three brothers should give out as much silver as you deserve!"
Zhang Gugua wants to say something else.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside, "We are official officials from the county. Is this Zhang Lao Dou's house?"
