It had been gloomy all day, and in the evening it became darker and darker.
The Wu brothers were worried for a while at the construction site, and then went to a restaurant in the city for a drink. They discussed and discussed, but they still couldn't do anything. It was dark, so they had to go back to their old house dejectedly.
When he arrived at the door, Wu Yuanshuang looked up at the large door and sighed, feeling regretful.
Wu Yuanqing asked curiously: "Looking at the front door of my house and sighing, why is that?"
Wu Yuanshuang rolled his eyes at this elder brother angrily, and sighed: "What do you mean by the front door of your own house? It's almost not our home anymore..."
After saying this, Wu Yuanqing remembered that the old house left by his father had been mortgaged and borrowed by the two of them from the Prince of Hejian County...
When he thought of this, Wu Yuanqing felt a throbbing pain in his heart.
Three hundred thousand dollars!
Why don't you feel anything? It's all spent?
Now that the money has been spent, the project has collapsed, and the family is about to be taken away...
The two brothers walked into the door in a daze, and when they arrived at the atrium, they met Wu Weiliang, who had not been to the construction site today because he had something to do.
"My younger brother was just about to go find his two elder brothers. I heard from my family that something went wrong on the construction site. I wonder what the situation is?"
Wu Yuanshuang walked into the main hall without saying a word.
Wu Yuanqing looked dejected, sighed, patted Wu Weiliang's shoulder, shook his head, and entered the main hall.
Wu Weiliang looked confused... What's wrong?
…
In the main hall, Wu Yuanshuang weakly said to Wu Weiliang, who was following closely: "Something big happened at home, endangering life and death. Go quickly and call all the young and old at home. Let's brainstorm together and discuss it together."
Wu Weiliang didn't know what was going on at the construction site, and was baffled. He hurried out to gather his family...
Not long after, the men, women, and children of the Wu family gathered together.
Wu Hua, the father of the warrior Xun, had four sons. The eldest son, warrior Leng, had an old relationship with the great ancestor Li Yuan. When the great ancestor started the army, he followed him and became a minister of agriculture. The third son, warrior Yi, served as the household minister of the Prince of Qi in the early years of Wude.
He was quite insightful and had military exploits in the battle to annihilate Liu Wuzhou. Emperor Gaozu was very pleased with him and appointed him as the governor of Shaozhou. He died in office in the early years of Zhenguan.
Both of them had high official positions, and they had already established separate houses and lived separately.
The only remaining family members living in the old house are the son of Wu Hua, Samurai Rang, and the youngest son, Samurai Yu. All the glory and wealth of the Wu family came from Samurai Yu, so the two sons of Samurai Yu are the only ones left in the family.
For the sake of respect, I dare not offend...
Seeing the family gathered together, Wu Yuanqing became increasingly depressed and depressed, and said nothing with a grimace.
Wu Yuanshuang had no choice but to briefly explain the matter...
"What? Three hundred thousand guan?"
A woman in her thirties exclaimed.
This woman was dressed in a splendid colorful dress, and her appearance was quite iconic, except that her cheekbones were slightly high and her lips were thin, making her look like a mean person.
She first exclaimed, then her eyebrows stood up, she stood up with her arms akimbo, and shouted angrily: "Okay, you two brothers are really capable! Three hundred thousand yuan, you can lose it if you don't? Are you lying!"
Well, this person is not worried about the serious consequences of violating the law by cutting corners and shoddy goods, but is looking at the money of 300,000 yuan...
Wu Yuanshuang was irritated and said angrily: "This is a matter for men, why do you, a woman, need to talk so much?"
This woman was Shanshi, the wife of Wu Huailiang, the eldest son of the samurai. Wu Huailiang became a widow early in life. However, she had a fierce, mean and sinister personality. Although she was hated by people and ghosts in the house, no one wanted to mess with her.
As soon as Shanshi heard Wu Yuanshuang's words, he immediately exploded!
His voice became shriller: "You men are capable, so why do you come home to show off your authority? Now that the disaster is coming, I am afraid that I will go home and discuss it with everyone, and if the court investigates it, let the whole family bear the crime together."
Right? This family belongs to all of us. As long as there is no division, everyone has a share. You two brothers secretly mortgaged the old house. Who did you ask? Now you see that the house is in danger but you can’t even say anything.
If you don't let me tell you, are you still reasonable?"
Her behavior caused her family members, who had previously been confused about the situation, to become nervous.
Wu Weiliang was most worried and asked: "Brother, will this... the court really pursue this? What does His Highness King Wu say?"
He was involved in the whole process, and most of the work of cutting corners and shoddy goods was done by him. If the court seriously pursued it, he would not be able to escape.
Wu Yuanshuang said angrily: "Don't listen to that woman's nonsense. Do you think our brother-in-law's face is just for show? Even if he didn't open his mouth to His Highness King Wu about this matter, it's impossible for His Highness King Wu to arrest our brothers."
Go. Besides, everyone is paying for these projects in advance, and the court has not paid a penny for settlement. The worst thing is that it will be pushed to heavy construction, which will not violate the king's law."
After saying this, Wu Weiliang breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't arrest anyone.
He was relieved, but Shanshi was furious again...
"What? Tear them down and rebuild them? Didn't you say you have no money? How can you rebuild those houses if you don't have money? Wow, how could I think your brothers are so open-minded and would discuss countermeasures with their families when something happens? It turns out that they are fighting
Do you want us to use the money to rebuild the house? Haha, you are really treacherous. As long as I don’t die, you can’t even think about it!”
Looking at Shanshi, Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang, who raised his chin with an expression like "I've seen through your trick, I won't succeed", the brothers Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang looked at each other, and they both looked the same.
This woman is causing trouble all day long and refuses to stop even for a moment. She is really disgusting...
But after all, she is a widowed sister-in-law by title, and she is also generous. The two brothers are very afraid of her.
Wu Yuanshuang had no choice but to say: "What are you talking about, sister-in-law? My brothers ran around asking for favors and then got the Kunming Pool project. Is it just to make money for themselves? Not for the sake of this family! The current situation of the family
You also know that if there is no way to open up the source, everything will be in vain! Moreover, this project is not just a construction site by the Kunming Pool, it is linked to the construction of the east and west cities! As long as you obtain the construction qualifications of the east and west cities
, Sister-in-law, think about it, how big an income is that? But this one item is enough to make our Wu family become a top-notch family again! Now that His Highness King Wu has given us the opportunity, is it possible to just let all the money be lost?
At the construction site, you don’t even need the construction qualifications from the east and west cities?”
Wu Weiliang hurriedly said: "That won't work. If you do that, wouldn't you become a fool and suffer the ridicule of the entire Chang'an clan?"
Shanshi snorted coldly and said: "Don't even think of joining forces to deceive a woman like me. Anyway, it's just a sentence, do you want money?"
No one believes her words. If others can be believed if they say they have no money, will Shanshi have no money?
This person has always been the most stingy. The maids and slaves in her room have not been rewarded for years. Instead, they have used various excuses to deduct monthly money. If they were not all slaves, I am afraid that the maids and slaves in her room would have run away.
Most of...
But everyone knows that she is an iron rooster, so how can they dare to pluck out a hair on her body?
Wu Yuanqing looked at Wu Weiliang and said: "Weiliang, you and I are brothers. Although we are not brothers and sisters, we are better than brothers... Now that the family is experiencing difficulties, can you express your attitude?"
Wu Weiliang was an honest man. After hearing the words, he murmured for a long time, and could only say reluctantly: "So-and-so is not married yet... Besides, so-and-so doesn't have much money, but since my brother has spoken, then so-and-so will... just...
Take out fifty guan."
He is a little more honest, but he is not stupid. How many of the hundreds of thousands of dollars were spent carelessly by these two brothers? If they really invested all of them in the construction site, why would they buy low-quality building materials at low prices and fall into the trap?
The current situation?
He didn't want to use the money to buy wine for his two brothers.
"..."
Wu Yuanqing looked at Wu Weiliang expectantly, but he didn't expect that he had held it in for a long time and came out fifty times...
That's a business worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. What's enough for fifty dollars?!
This is great stuff!
You've all learned how to hide your intentions...
Wu Yuanshuang was very frustrated when he saw that everyone in the family had their own plans. He simply smashed the jar, spread his hands and said, "It's up to you. Since you don't want to take out the money, just wait until the money comes."
If we don’t have the money yet, let someone take over the house. Then our whole family will go back to the village in the countryside, build a few adobe houses, grow vegetables and raise ducks in our free time, it will be elegant..."
Wu Yuanqing reminded: "Even those good pieces of land have been mortgaged... There are only a few acres of thin farmland left."
The family finally felt that the crisis was imminent and panicked.
Is the Wu family, which used to be the residence of the Duke of the country, now reduced to the miserable situation of "no room, no land"?
Maybe, the whole family will have to sleep on the street...
