Chapter 22: The Legacy of Five Years Ago
Liu Yunxiang looked up at the old lady and saw her with a lowered face, holding the majesty of the elders, quietly watching the development of the situation.
And the eldest lady sat aside, coughing lightly from time to time, and there was only indifference in her expression.
After the Hou Mansion was raided, both of them fell ill, and she could only pick up the mess, but there was no silver tael in the account, and she took out her dowry.
In the most difficult times, she did not starve them.
Ginseng bird's nest, Ganoderma lucidum ejiao, all kinds of precious supplements, she did not lack them.
And now, she has been hollowed out, and she is sent by them to eat light tea.
This family is really disrespectful to the old, the sick pretend to be confused, the believers have no kindness, and the younger ones are even more wolf-hearted.
Liu Yunxiang smiled, "Second sister-in-law, don't want to spew blood, what the hell do you say, what's wrong with this account." ”
Xue Shi stood up proudly and pointed to one of them, "How can there be an extra amount of charcoal money every winter, which is enough for a thousand taels of silver." ”
Liu Yunxiang lowered his eyes and sneered, "My mother is old, my sister-in-law is frail, and my second sister-in-law is expensive, and you are afraid of ordinary charcoal, so you must use gold silk charcoal, which is the extra thousand taels." ”
"I don't know, you must have found a random reason and relied on us. ”
Remember the URL
"This account is in and out, so it is easy to check, just ask the charcoal shop that provides charcoal for the house every year to check the accounts. ”
Xue Shi was blocked and had nothing to say, so he had to mention another sentence: "It seems that you don't burn the golden charcoal." ”
"I really didn't want to burn it, if the second sister-in-law didn't believe it, the booklet of charcoal used in winter in Chachafu would be. ”
Xue Shi coughed dryly, "What about this vague expenditure, two thousand taels of silver, a small sum." ”
Liu Yunxiang sighed slowly: "This is the prison of the Criminal Department last year, let the official take care of the second master, don't freeze to death inside." ”
Xue Shi was even more embarrassed, and hurriedly pointed to another item, "That item, the expenditure of one hundred taels per month, what do you say to help relatives, how can we have distant relatives to help......"
"Alright!" the old lady interrupted the second lady, "don't forget about the trivialities. ”
Liu Yunxiang smiled, "Don't, since the accounts are all on the table, if you don't say it clearly, won't you really wronged me." This distant relative, the mother's side is also the account added by her old man, the second lady might as well ask her mother. ”
Xue Shi looked at the old lady and saw that the old lady glared at her, but she didn't dare to squeak at the moment.
Liu Yunxiang flipped the ledger to the end, "Since I entered the door, I have a total of 10,000 taels of silver in three years, and this is all my dowry." You eat me and use mine, and in the end you actually settle accounts for me, saying that I am greedy for money, what is the reason for this?"
"Okay, the family doesn't talk to each other. The old lady said angrily.
Xue snorted, "That's what Mother said. ”
Liu Yunxiang darkened: It's really shameless.
"The second one, you reconcile accounts today, do you have something else. The old lady looked at the Xue family, and hated that iron could not become steel.
After being reminded by the old lady, Xue remembered it, "This account is here, you can take a look, there is really no money in the public account, but what to do with the various expenditures of the government, the monthly money of the people is in arrears, there must be a way." ”
The eldest lady didn't speak, and said angrily at the moment: "You are in charge of the middle feed, where the money comes from and where it goes, it's your business, what to discuss with us." ”
"It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice, I can't do it, otherwise this power of the family will be handed over to you, sister-in-law?"
"Ahem. The eldest lady coughed a few times, turned to the old lady, and said, "Mother, I am overwhelmed by the cold, so I will go back first." ”
The old lady frowned, "Sit for a while, you can't die, your big house has food and clothing in the Hou Mansion, don't think about escaping every time." ”
The eldest lady had no choice but to sit back, but she closed her eyes and recuperated, which meant that she didn't listen or look at it.
Xue looked at Liu Yunxiang again, "Brother and sister, why don't you return the power of the family to you?"
Liu Yunxiang said helplessly: "My dowry has been emptied, but I don't have the money to make up the hole." ”
"This ......"
The old lady stomped her crutches, "Okay, let you come not to shout poor, but to find a way." So let's take out five thousand taels of silver for each room first, and tide over the difficulties in your house. ”
When Xue Shi heard this, he hurriedly said: "Mother, I have a hard time in the second room, how can I get out five thousand taels of silver." ”
The eldest lady wanted to pretend to be dead, but at this time she had to speak, "I am a widow, let alone take so much silver." ”
The old lady snorted coldly, "There is no money in the account for a long time, and the kitchen is almost out of the pot." I had to let them cook porridge and vegetables every day, and whoever wanted to eat good food paid out of their own pockets. You all have bird's nest and ginseng and abalone, and at this time you say that you have no money, and I am so fooled by my old woman?"
When the second lady heard this, she knew that she was used as a gun by the old lady, and she was tricked when she ran out.
The eldest lady didn't have anything to say, after all, there was no shortage of ginseng chicken soup for every meal, so she couldn't argue.
Liu Yunxiang sneered secretly, he was really waiting for them here!
She sighed, "It seems that I am the only one who really has no money, so I can only eat those boiled vegetables, and I haven't seen meat for half a month." ”
