When Tian Huaide returned to his house, Mrs. Chen came up to him and asked, "How is it?"
He patted his waist, took out the purse, threw it to her and said, "Only two hundred taels."
Mrs. Chen frowned after hearing this: "So few?"
"This is already the limit. Didn't you see that when I took the silver, my mother's eyes looked like I wanted her life. If it weren't for dad, let alone two hundred taels, I don't know if I could have gotten the two hundred taels?" Tian Huaide
He sat down on the kang and said depressedly.
How could he feel so aggrieved when he was an official? If he wanted money, he had to ask his parents for it.
"How did you and the magistrate's wife go to the jewelry store?" Tian Huaide asked Chen again after murmuring.
A trace of gloom flashed in Mrs. Chen's eyes, and she said coldly: "What else can she do? She secretly and secretly tried to get filial piety from me, but she didn't even think about how much filial piety we have done in the past. Her eyesight is so shallow. Fortunately, she is a county magistrate's wife.
I just want to take advantage of the people below me."
"She's going to die." Tian Huaide hurriedly covered her mouth, looked out again, and then said: "You don't have a brain, you don't know that walls have ears?"
Ms. Chen curled her lips and looked very unhappy, but she also lowered her voice and said, "I heard Madam wanted to open a shop."
Tian Huaide frowned and asked: "What kind of shop? Doesn't he want to join forces with you?"
"Haha, you have a wonderful idea, Helizi? She wants us to help open the shop, and then hand her the shop deed and other things and just wait to collect the cash." Mrs. Chen sneered.
They are both wives of officials, so why is she so cowardly? They say that officials are high-pressure. This is really true. If my husband’s official status is higher than that of the county magistrate, he still needs her to fawn over that woman? He needs to change his position.
.
"Now the county magistrate's wife can't feed her enough." Tian Huaide was also very annoyed, but his rating was still in someone else's hands. He wanted to find Tan Zhishi for some activities, but he was ignored.
Thinking of this, he asked: "Why do you think Tan Zhi stayed away from us? That girl Chen Xiaojuan calls you aunt after all, so you can't use this excuse to visit?"
Mrs. Chen was also very distressed and said, "It's strange, too. The posts I submit always say that the girl is not feeling well and is ill, and she is not allowed to see her."
"It couldn't have been disabled by that fool, right?" A strange thought suddenly flashed through Tian Huaide's mind.
Mrs. Chen's body trembled, her face turned pale, and she was a little frightened. She muttered: "No way?"
Tian Huaide pursed his lips, thought for a while and then said: "Can you send some more medicinal materials to see if they can be seen? The county magistrate is not mature enough, so we have to find two ways out. Xiaojuan is your niece, and she is now
She is enjoying all the glory. It is better to talk to her properly and ask her to send a message to Tan Zhishi than to spend our hundreds and thousands of dollars to feed those two white-eyed wolves."
"What about the county magistrate's wife?" Mrs. Chen nodded and looked at his expression.
"Where do we get the money to open a shop? We can open a shop if we have it." Tian Huaide said angrily: "Can you sell the house in Sixi Hutong to her to open a shop?"
This time it was Mrs. Chen's turn to cover his mouth and said, "If you speak louder, can people know that we have such a house and we won't cause a stir?"
Tian Huaide was a little embarrassed, coughed and remained silent.
The house in Sixi Hutong was a second-class house. It was given to Xiaojing by a wealthy country gentleman. Tian Huaide helped him buy a piece of land with 800 acres of fertile land at a low price.
This is considered bribery. If you want people to know, you really can’t afford to take advantage of it, not to mention that many people in the family are watching. Those wolf-like relatives know that they don’t want to get a share of the pie?
"Although that house is small, it is worth four hundred taels at least. I was stupid to let it go." Chen's voice was small and gloomy.
"It won't work this way, that won't work either. My rating is still in the hands of the county magistrate." Tian Huaide was very upset and annoyed, and said with a bad look on his face: "You don't want to be the one who can't get in or out. I was so filial to you before."
There are at least a few hundred taels of those who come down. Only those who hold an official position can show their filial piety, or else go back to plow the fields."
"You think I don't want to take it out. Aren't I thinking about our house? Brother Lin wants to get engaged, and Sister Zhuang also wants to buy a dowry. How can it be money? If we pay less, the children will have more dignity, especially Zhuang.
Sister, I feel sorry for this child. Even if she took away her parents' private property, it was just right. If it weren't for that girl Tian Minqing, Sister Zhuang would be the heir's son.
Date?" Mrs. Chen was very angry when she mentioned this matter. She always thought that Yuan Xiucai was not worthy of her daughter. Thinking of Tian Minqing's crying and miserable appearance, she sneered: "However, this is also the case.
Girl, hasn’t it become a big joke now?”
This is a typical example of Mrs. Chen, who laughs at the fifty steps and laughs at the hundred steps. She doesn't even think about it. If Tian Minzhuang had become a concubine, maybe it would be her who is the big joke today. After all, men are ruthless and serve others with sex.
Where can it last?
"Okay, why don't you just say a few words, don't you think it's not enough?" Tian Huaide felt very upset when she mentioned the people in the house. If it weren't for them, he wouldn't have gotten this land. Who wouldn't be looking at him?
A joke?
Mrs. Chen glanced at him and said: "I am also telling the truth. Sir, you have literary talent and an official position, but now you have been implicated in vain. If you say that it is Erlang who kidnapped the concubine, what does it have to do with us? Why?
Why did you put a shit basin on your head?"
Seeing that Tian Huaide's face became more and more gloomy, she continued to encourage: "Master, if the family is separated and we have a separate family, we won't be able to blame them for their troubles. As long as the people below show some filial piety, we
There’s no need to hand it over and distribute it.”
Separate the family? Tian Huaide was startled, then shook his head and said: "You think it is so easy. When the third son left, it was because his fortunes conflicted with mine, so my father agreed. Now, how is it possible for the second son to separate?
Will respond."
"What should we do? Are we just going to wipe their behinds all the time? To be honest, I've had enough of this anger. If I wasn't afraid that my father would know, I would have moved my children to the house in Sixi Hutong.
"Yes." Mrs. Chen looked unhappy. It was so frustrating to be a wife, but she couldn't compare to Luo Shi, who had three bedrooms. After all, she was in a separate household, and she kept the money she earned, but what about her?
Jiang was eager to seize all the filial piety, and there was no one in the second wife who was not keeping an eye on her. If she hadn't been clever, how could she have earned her current wealth?
Tian Huaide may not know, but she is in charge of internal affairs, and she knows how much money she has on hand. If it is divided, she will live in her own household, how comfortable it will be, and there is no need to deal with those beggars.
"Besides, now is not the time to talk about this matter. You are going to prepare gifts and say some nice things to the magistrate's wife. I will go to the front office to help deal with the matter." Tian Huaide was upset, waved his hand and went out.
Mrs. Chen was very dissatisfied, but had no choice but to sit on the edge of the Kang, holding her chin and thinking, how can we separate the family?
When Li and Tian Huaixiao returned to the house, they cried for a while.
"Dad, you have to think of something, otherwise, Erlang will be dead, oh, my poor son." Mrs. Li cried loudly, crying and cursing: "The old man is too partial, Erlang is
It’s a human life, he’s still thinking about his uncle right now, it’s too partial.”
"Cry in mourning, cry." Tian Huaixiao was very angry, thinking that everything was not going well recently, and he didn't know whether it was because of a villain or something, so why did he blame him for everything?
"I don't care, if you don't rescue Erlang, we, mother and son, will die together." Li said harshly.
"Why don't you die now? Dad said he won't leave Erlang alone. Why are you making such a fuss?" Tian Huaixiao glared at her, looking at her fat body, he became more and more disgusted.
"Do you believe it too? If this drags on for a day, Erlang will suffer for a day. If this drags on for how many days, Erlang will still be alive?" Li is not stupid, so who is He Bawang? Do you still allow you to intercede? So
How can he not get angry when a lot of cuckolds come down on him? And how can he not go to death for those who dare to cuckold him?
The old man said he would take care of it, but he didn't say he would take the money to redeem the person now. But as for the uncle, he just said a few words and the old man took out two hundred taels. This was obviously partial to the armpit.
"We asked him to redeem us with money, but he refused to give it. When the boss comes, he only needs two hundred taels. If it goes on for a long time, none of us will be left alone." Mrs. Li hummed and said, "Also, are you really the boss?
No money? The dowry given to Sister Zhuang is all real money. You are the only one who is so stupid that you believe they have no money."
Tian Huaixiao's face turned gloomy after hearing this, and he said, "Dad is partial and doesn't treat us as human beings."
"So, you have to go and get it. Otherwise, not only will we, Erlang, not be able to save us, but everything that should belong to us will also be snatched away by the big house." Seeing that her words had an effect, Mrs. Li stopped crying.
He said hurriedly: "Also, as soon as this matter comes out, you see, Mrs. Chen will definitely want to encourage dad to separate the family and separate us."
"Separate the family? She has such a good plan! Even if she drags them, I will drag them to death. Want to throw away the poor brothers after getting rich? There is no such a good plan." Tian Huaide glared, pursed his lips, and said: "You said that
Yes, I have to discuss this with dad."
"Wait a minute." Mrs. Li hurriedly pulled him and said, "You have to tell Erlang more about whether human life or money is more important."
Tian Huaixiao was very impatient with her instructions. He threw her hand away and said impatiently: "It's done, it's done. I have my own sense of discretion." After that, he walked out.
When Mrs. Li saw that he had left, she dug out a box from a piece of rags in the cabinet. When she opened it, she found some jewelry inside. She curled her lips and refused to give these away.
It is not known how Tian Huaixiao sought an explanation, but the next day a breaking news came that Erlang had escaped. That was all, but he took the little red jade with him and eloped!
Yan wishes all my dear friends a happy Mooncake Festival, and wishes everyone a happy reunion and good health to the whole family. PS: Please give me mooncake rockets, hehe~
