In this day and age, the word "separating a family" is the biggest taboo among wealthy families. Even Lu Sanlang, who has a bad relationship with his father and two brothers, lives in separate households but not in separate families, even if Mrs. Lu secretly subsidizes countless amounts.
He blatantly favored his younger son, but after all, he couldn't divide the entire family's property cleanly.
Most people regard it as a golden rule that parents should not separate their families when they are together, so when Mrs. Li got this message from her nephew, she was of course shocked and disbelieving. She immediately drove over in the car that day. Waiting until she was greeted politely
Angrily, she took her to Qing'an Hall and found that the place was packed with people.
However, the most eye-catching thing is the pair of golden boys and girls with matching looks. Mrs. Li had only met Zhu Ying before, and she had been thinking about what kind of man could be worthy of such a dazzling girl. Now when she saw Zhang Shou, she couldn't help but
The mood should be like this when you are born.
When Zhu Ying came forward in person and introduced the people coming today, she discovered that in addition to Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing's son, daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law and son-in-law, all the in-laws of Zhao Guogong's house had arrived. Weinan Bo Zhang Kang arrived, Zhang Shou's adoptive mother
Wu also arrived, and both of them greeted her very politely, and she naturally returned the greeting quickly.
Seeing that both of them looked as normal, Mrs. Li had a vague feeling that the so-called family separation in Zhao Guogong's mansion was probably not a big deal. It was not like what she thought, where the brothers and sisters would do their own thing and ignore others.
And soon, a mother came out from the Dongci room and said that Mrs. Li had invited them in. Mrs. Li wanted to fall behind, but saw Zhao Guogong and his wife first let Uncle Weinan go, and then invited her in front.
Realizing that this was based on the third generation of the Zhu family, she accepted it with a few words of humility. When she entered the slightly dark room, she saw the lady leaning on the big pillow on the bed.
Although she was quite thin, she was in good spirits at this time. When she saw her, she smiled kindly and said warmly: "My mother-in-law, the children are about to get married, but I suddenly invited you here. It doesn't matter.
It's really abrupt. However, if we put off some words and things until later, I'm afraid that we might have a grudge against each other."
This was the first time that Mrs. Li had seen such a direct and unhesitating way of speaking from a relative stranger. Therefore, she was slightly startled and quickly said with a smile: "Even if the second young master marries my Qing Niang, they are still juniors, so naturally
We should listen to our elders in everything, so how can we have grudges just because of a little thing?"
"That's what I say, but I can't treat them badly."
Mrs. Tai raised her head and glanced at Zhu Er with a smile, and then ordered everyone to sit down. However, she drank two mouthfuls of ginseng soup under the service of Mother Jiang, and then she straightened up and raised her head again.
"The title of Duke Zhao was earned by Jing'er himself with real swords and spears. So although he has other incompetent brothers, they are not here now."
"Although I, the mother-in-law, are still here, I let them separate their families early. Others say I am cruel, but I know that if they don't let them out, they will have no future, and they will only be able to live under the shadow of Zhao Guogong's house for the rest of their lives.
Eat and wait to die. In the past, I thought that Erlang could not escape such a result, but I didn't expect that when I got old, I still witnessed a miracle."
He was actually described as a miracle by his grandmother. Zhu Er just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. However, after the second half of the wife's words came out, his face gradually turned from red to normal.
"Er Lang has an eldest brother who is excellent in both literary and military skills. He is never afraid of hardship and works hard. He has a sister who is extremely smart and can do everything with a little effort. She never cares about what outsiders say. He is the one who is caught in the middle.
After I came out and made a group of friends who were also good at cheating, I naturally had a bad reputation in the past."
"Actually, there are the most people like him in the world. If everyone is amazingly talented, then what's the use of the court's selection of talents? Therefore, the best thing my grandson-in-law, Ah Shou, has done is not to force everyone to do so.
They are all outstanding in civil and military skills, but let them find what they can do."
"I know that Erlang may not initially like to face the loess and deal with a group of old farmers, but if he can really do this and is not afraid of hardship, he is already far better than his uncles and uncles."
After saying this in one breath, the wife took a short break and then said with a smile: "Today we are dividing the families, we will not separate the families to worship the Tian family temple. This is the foundation of Dalang's business. Moreover, Jing'er and his wife are still alive, and other farms
The property is divided into four parts, one share for each person.”
As soon as these words came out, not only Mrs. Li was taken aback, but also Weinan Bo Zhang Kang, and Mrs. Wu looked at Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying with a bewildered expression. As a result, Weinan Bo was the first to object.
Zhang Kang.
"Madam, you, Duke Zhao and your wife are all well, so you are going too far to divide the family between your grandchildren. But even if you want to divide the family, there is no difference between the junior and the elder. Even if it is two plus one, five will be made.
, let three children with half the seniority, who can say a word? Listen to my advice, wouldn't it be nice to be harmonious and beautiful like this? "
"Uncle Weinan, what you said is true in other families, but not in ours. Dalang is already a man who can stand on his own, but he still pays his monthly salary to the public servant, and then goes to collect his salary.
That portion of money and food. Although his father specially allocated the annual expenses for him, what if it is not enough for him who is not greedy and does not care about money? Although the family system is like this, why is it inconvenient? "
"Your daughter is now the person in charge of the family, but just because she is the head of the family, she cannot always turn to Da Lang. Even if she cannot refute Da Lang's expenses, she cannot give him whatever he wants. She has to do all that.
You can only give her the so-called boundaries. Ask her if she is a good housewife?"
Weinanbo was speechless. He didn't even need to look at his daughter, he knew that the wife's words hit the point.
He does not have a capable son like Zhu Tingfang in his family who can stand up. If he can stand up, how can he endure the days when he has to follow the rules of the family? He despises those who are useless to him the most, but they only know how to suppress their sons.
's father!
Seeing that Uncle Weinan was obviously convinced, Mrs. Tai said slowly: "Don't look at Erlang, it seems that everyone in this family can beat him now, but he is also a proud and arrogant man. In the future, he will be a married man."
, should he still be allowed to receive the monthly payment, live under the wings of his father and brother, and have to open his mouth every time he needs money? "
"If the family property is divided, if anyone really can't control it and wastes it all, that's his business. Even if he is poor and starves to death, he can't complain a word. But if the family property is not divided, it looks like harmony, but in fact
How many private complaints are there?"
At this time, even Mrs. Li, who had made up her mind when she came here and urged the Mrs. Tai to take back her previous plan, was convinced unknowingly. After all, the plan for dividing the property was already fair.
She was so biased in favor of her three grandchildren that she had never thought about why she would come forward to argue that Zhu Ying should not get married.
However, before she had time to speak, she heard a low voice from beside her: "The Madam is very thoughtful. I shouldn't have said anything originally. But Yingying married into our family. To be honest, our family has many
I have created the most capable head of the family. If Yingying divides the property again, I will ask you all to be witnesses later and make a list so that it can be left to her children in the future."
Although her voice was low, Wu's words were filled with some unquestionable determination. Today I saw the dowry of the second daughter-in-law of the Zhu family, and then I took a look at the dowry of the Zhu family's daughter-in-law last time, which seemed to be similar to that of Zhu Ying.
Her realization was even deeper that Zhang Shou had simply married a daughter-in-law who was richer than a statue of a golden man.
Although Zhang Shou directly handed over all her property to Zhu Ying after her marriage, she never asked about her daughter-in-law's dowry. But now that the concubine wanted to give another share of the property to Zhu Ying, how could she not be surprised and suspicious?
Even if people trust Zhang Shou, they also trust her, but they have to speak clearly and do things first. Otherwise, what if something happens over time?
Mrs. Wu was already very familiar with Mrs. Wu. Now she saw that she, who had never expressed her opinion, was so insistent. Zhu Ying immediately stepped forward to persuade her in a low voice, but it was rare for people to be stubborn and refused to listen. Zhang Shou was
But without saying anything, she started laughing.
"Forget it, there's nothing wrong with making it clear in advance. Just follow what the in-laws say."
Seeing that Mrs. Tai deliberately used such a title to distinguish herself from Mrs. Li, Mrs. Wu was naturally grateful, and then apologized for having spoken before Mrs. Li.
Mrs. Li did not look down upon Wu because she was just an adoptive mother. She quickly said it was okay, and then expressed her opinion, that is, separation of families should not separate the family.
Regarding such a proposal, Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing nodded without hesitation and said: "It should be so. Zhao Guogong's mansion is not like those families with several generations living under the same roof and many children and grandchildren. They live in too crowded and have to live separately. There are many empty houses here.
What's more, if Erlang moves out after getting married, it would be wasteful and deserted for us and Dalang to live in such a big place. He is not that fat little guy from the Lu family."
At this time, Lu Sanlang was brought out as a negative example. Zhang Shou couldn't help but want to laugh. When he saw Zhu Er, he couldn't bear it at all. He turned his head and laughed. He coughed and said, "What my father-in-law said is,
Naturally, it’s best for the whole family to live together. Yingying’s yard is still there, and she and I come back to live there from time to time, not to mention Brother Zhu?”
Mrs. Li had heard that Zhu Ying returned to her parents' house from time to time after her marriage, and she was not alone. She often came with Zhang Shou, and sometimes she even brought Wu, her mother-in-law, as if she was just visiting. At this time, it was really
She couldn't help but be amazed when this was indeed confirmed. So, she smiled and echoed: "My father-in-law said this, then I feel relieved."
Since there was no objection to the separation of the family, Mrs. Tai took advantage of the fact that she was still in good spirits and asked Mother Jiang to bring four types of brochures and gave them to her son, daughter-in-law, and two grandson-in-laws and grandson-in-law’s elders, and she asked Mother Jiang to do it.
1. Explain its value.
Mother Jiang's memory and organization are obviously very good. Which ones were given due to military exploits, which ones were bought with rewarded money, which ones were business income, and which ones were changed hands because of something happened to other families... Anyway, everything is the same.
She explained everything clearly about fields, houses and shops.
When it came to the money deposited in the bank, Uncle Weinan and Mrs. Li just wanted to avoid suspicion, but they were stopped by the dowager: "My family's money is all pure and clean, and I am not afraid of others knowing. You just have to watch it."
, Otherwise, how can we know whether it is fair?”
Mrs. Li and Uncle Weinan looked at me. Then when they went to look at Mrs. Wu, they found that Mrs. Wu was also looking at them. After the three of them were stunned, they simply lowered their heads and continued looking. But this time, the one who spoke first spoke
But it was not any of them, but Zhu Jing, Duke of Zhao.
"Mom, Yingying had a lot of dowry before, and you and Jiuniang also supported her. Why do we still have so much land and money at home?"
Zhu Jing looked down at the brochure and looked as if he was shocked by his property. At this time, his brows were even slightly wrinkled. But when he saw his boss, daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, and son-in-law, it was surprising that no one cared about this.
While each was talking about his own words, even Zhu Er was pulled aside by Zhu Ying and Zhang Shou. He suddenly felt that he had lost some of his father's majesty by making such a fuss.
But before he could cough and put on the air of being a father again, his wife Jiuniang stabbed him directly as if nothing had happened: "You are a busy man with many things to do, how can you have time to take care of how much property you have bought at home?
There is no time to worry about how much money is needed to support the expenses of the whole family. If there were no mother, this family would have suffered from the northwest wind."
"snort!"
Zhu Jing finally couldn't keep up that face anymore. He snorted heavily and angrily handed the list in hand to Jiuniang, and then said in a straight-to-the-point tone: "You can just settle this matter."
, it’s just some personal belongings such as land, house, money, etc. It doesn’t hurt to give more to the three families.”
Seeing Zhu Jing striding out impatiently after saying this, Weinan Bo Zhang Kang suddenly laughed out loud, and then said deliberately and seriously: "If this were placed outside, how much would each farm and each house be worth?
There is still noisy, but the Zhu family is doing well. The head of the family just left without looking back. In short, that’s it, Mrs. Madam, you speak, we will listen.”
As a result, Zhu Er heard that a certain farm, a certain house, and a certain shop had been assigned to him, which he had never thought about before, let alone expected to be assigned to him... And
At the end of the day, he was given 50,000 yuan in cash, which shocked him. Only then did he finally understand why his father had questioned it, and then walked away in anger.
If he gets one share, the total number of shares in the family is four, which is a total of 200,000 yuan in cash. Maybe if the money order is dropped at a certain bank, it will directly bankrupt that bank. And the next moment
Zhu Er took a deep breath after hearing what Mrs. Tai said, and did not dare to say another word.
"As for the gold and silver jewelry, I didn't put it on the list. The two granddaughter-in-laws and Yingying each got one share, which was probably a box for each person. As for the value, I didn't take a closer look at it. They all shared it. I guess there is a Wan'er in the family.
