Thinking of her embarrassment and helplessness at that time, Wang Xifeng’s tears became even more unstoppable:
"Since I married into the Jia family, I have never failed to fulfill my filial duty. I serve the old lady, the eldest lady and the madam, and have three meals a day. If I am not serving these elders, I will take their turn.
I won’t have a bite to eat.
I took good care of all my brothers and sisters. Grandma Zhu was young and widowed. I never missed anything from her without thinking about it, and I always sent it to her before others of my generation, lest she be wronged. It was like freezing cats.
Like Jia Huan, whatever he lacked or what Aunt Zhao didn't give him, I always made up for it from me, without causing him any embarrassment.
There are more than a thousand people, both men and women, up and down. From morning to night, there are ten or twenty big things, and there are thirty or fifty small things, with thousands of silver and tens of thousands of money.
I control everything with my hands, my heart, and my mouth, and I can’t make any mistakes. Is it easy for me?
In addition to the matters in our own house, Brother Zhen also asked me to assist in the management.
You've all seen it, I get up and wash myself at Yinzheng every day, but that's still two hours before dawn. After drinking two mouthfuls of porridge, I have to rush to Maozheng at two quarters before midnight. I often wake up at night.
I only rested at the end of the fourth watch, and it was considered good if I could sleep for two or three hours a day. Even if I had time to eat during the day, I couldn't sleep peacefully, and things would come in from time to time.
Others don’t know, but you still don’t know what I was like before I got married? What kind of virtues do I have now?
When we were kids, we were playing together. Brother Jane would kick the ball up the tree, and I would climb up the tree to get it. Now, I have headaches all year round, and I only manage to survive by applying Iverna plaster.
Everyone says that I am powerful and unreasonable, but they don’t want to think about how to deal with this big family matter without a decisive decision to kill?
Not to mention that I don’t have big ideas and great skills, but if I were a little bit worse, I would have been defeated by those housewives long ago.
In this family, when do we spend money nowadays without being in a hurry?
My wife couldn't think of a way to give gifts to the palace before the Dragon Boat Festival, so I mentioned it. There were some unimportant big copper and tin guys upstairs in the back room. They had four or five big boxes. They took them out and brought in three hundred silver.
I also added a handful of my gold self-ringing clock, which I sold for 560 taels of silver. I managed to collect 1,500 taels, and then I finally settled the deal.
If we continue like this, we will soon have the idea of dressing up.
In the past few years, people have said openly and secretly that I am doing business outside, and you must have been thinking about the money I saved. I am also wasting my efforts.
I was not a poor man in my last life, so why did I spend so much money on it? It was just for daily expenses.
From top to bottom, from inside to outside, where is there not much going out and little coming in?
Let's just say that in our house, the monthly money of you and me, plus the monthly money of the four girls, totals one or twenty taels of silver. Some of them are not available, and it is not enough for three to five days.
, for the remaining twenty days of this month, why don’t we all go out begging for food?
If I hadn't worked so hard to move it, we in this room would have ended up in some shabby kiln.
Now, after all the hard work, I have become ill, and I am also known as a person who has failed to settle my account. If I had known this, who would be better than me who can't spend money? From now on, we will just sit and spend money, and see how long and how long we can survive.
Sooner or later, forget it."
.
When listening to women talk, especially when listening to women complaining, they rarely get to the point in just a few sentences.
It must have started with Chen Guzi and Rotten Sesame, involving the Seventh Aunt, the Eighth Aunt, not to mention your fault, my good, crying with a red nose and red eyes, among a lot of right and wrong, grievances and resentments,
In the end, men can’t figure out where it started from, let alone where it will end.
.
Jia Lian was really impatient, so he interrupted and asked:
"Why do you want to touch your dowry?"
On the contrary, Wang Xifeng suddenly held back her words. After pondering for a long time, she finally said:
"It's not the matter of releasing accounts.
My wife asked me to come back to raise the baby, and asked me to hand over all the affairs in the house, including the matter of Guangyue's money, so she urged me three or five times.
My wife knows that I put out the monthly public money that I have withdrawn in advance for my wife, young lady, young master, and servants to settle accounts. I have paid my respects to my wife for half of the money I earned in a year. p>
Now that they are urging me to ask for it, I have to call Wanger to get all the accounts left outside as soon as possible.
You told me to be more careful at that time, so I became more careful and specifically asked him to take back all the five thousand taels of silver he spent building the garden, just to be on the lookout for my wife who was also eager to get it."<
/p>
Jia Lian knew that Wang Xifeng was paying accounts outside, but he didn't know that Mrs. Wang was also taking a share of the pie.
The women of the Wang family are really like the ones who pluck out the feathers of geese and pluck out the feces of toads.
"As long as the money comes back, you should take a break and stop worrying about it."
Just as Jia Lian finished speaking, Wang Xifeng suddenly threw herself into Jia Lian's arms and cried "Wow":
"No! It's all gone! Lai Wang'er said that all the people who borrowed money have run away... They won't get their money back... and they can't sue the government..."
.
Yes, you are "stealing gongs and drums that cannot be beaten". You secretly used them to pay for the interest, and were hacked by Mrs. Wang.
Lai Wang, Lai Xi, Wang Xin, and Qian Hua followed Wang Xifeng and came from the Wang family's accompanying room, while the four families beside Mrs. Wang, Zhou Rui, Wu Xing, Zheng Hua, and Wang Rong, also came from the Wang family's accompanying room.
Laiwang and Laixi are brothers, Wang Xin and Wang Rong are also brothers. Laixi's son married Wang Rong's daughter. In other words, Wang Xifeng asked Lai Wang to take the money back. In a blink of an eye, the news would reach Wang Rong.
Madam's ears.
Moreover, according to Jia Lian's estimation, among the money Wang Xifeng took out to pay accounts, in addition to the monthly money from the government and the project money for garden construction, there should also be private money that she secretly saved.
Perhaps, last time Wang Xifeng secretly used Jia Lian's name to take over the lawsuit and received three thousand taels of money from the rich man Zhang, I'm afraid he was involved.
After taking this kind of immoral money, I was treated as a "blackout" by an even more immoral person. I more or less deserved it.
Jia Lian patted Wang Xifeng's back, which was shaking with tears. He was about to speak when he heard Wang Xifeng cry:
"The harder it was to get the money back, the more desperate my wife was... She also said that she had no choice but to go to the old lady and tell her that I was 'stealing' by disbursing the money privately... I had violated the rule of seven outs, so I called myself
Go back to your parents' home... If I hadn't begged Ping'er to help me and secretly pawned most of the dowry, this time... this time..."
What's that? You almost got me involved too! This stupid bitch!
