The second old man was so angry that he couldn't do it, this Li family's appetite was getting bigger and bigger, thinking that the five-grade official was the big white siao. He was not polite and slapped her in the mouth.

He beat the Li family, and because the Li family wanted to spoil the relationship between Chu Zhen and the fourth son of the Liu family, he went out and said a lot of bad things about the Liu family, so angry that the Liu family wanted to withdraw from the family. Later, the second master begged the third lady to go to the Liu family to apologize, and the Liu family endured it. That matter has not yet been settled, and she came to talk about it again, and she dared to say that her eldest brother was selfish. Now, even the second master knows that his eldest brother is suspicious of the emperor, and the Li family dares to make such a request.

The Li family was originally uncomfortable, feeling that Chu Zhen was the concubine of the Hou Mansion, and Chu Lingan was the concubine of the Hou Mansion, a family affair was not found well, and the future was not good, not to mention that it was far worse than the concubines of the big house and the third room, and even a concubine in their room was not as good.

Now that the second master beats her, the anger she has been suppressing in her heart is also vented and she fights with the second master. The second master lost an arm, and his body was hollowed out by the female color again. And Li was angry, and in a few rounds, the second master's face was scratched with many blood marks.

The second old man was furious and yelled, "Get out, go back to your mother's house, Lao Tzu wants to divorce his wife!"

When Li heard this, he was frightened, and quickly stopped, crying and begging the second master for forgiveness, and was willing to take out two thousand taels of silver to the second master, so that he could buy a red-card little Wushuang in the Yihong Mansion that he had long looked at, and then buy a house to settle down. Neither the old marquis of Chu nor the marquis of Chu will allow a prostitute or woman to enter the mansion as a concubine.

In the past ten years of managing the Hou Mansion, the Li family embezzled more than 50,000 taels of silver, all of which were used as their own dowry silver. was defeated by the second master by more than 10,000 taels before, and he successively added some real estate for himself and his son and daughter, and now there are more than 30,000 taels left.

As soon as the second master heard this, he didn't say anything more about Hugh Li's words. Most of the money that the Li family was greedy for was used by the second master, so even if the second master was angry with the Li family, he would allow her to do so now.

This matter reached the ears of the old marquis, Chen Afu and others, and the old marquis was so angry that he called the second master to scold.

Seeing his son's big face, and then thinking of Xiao Wushuang who was bought by him as an outer room, the old marquis was angry and angry, and gave him two slaps. Gritted his teeth and said, "You and your daughter-in-law, neither of you is worry-free." That's it, that's it, when the third child and Xuan'er come back, let's split up. ”

The second old man was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and said, "The father is still here, how can the sons divide the family? This is unfilial piety." Besides, there is a law in the court, and the parents are there, and there is no separation of families. ”

He said so, but he wished to break up. Although the big house takes the big head, the second room can also be divided into a lot. The old father lives a self-disciplined life, and he only has three sons, unlike other people's sons-in-law, who have a lot of concubines, and there are not many of them. If the old father pities his poorest house, and gives him some private house, the family property in hand will not be less than 100,000 taels. This money can really be in your own hands, and you can spend it as you want, and you don't need to be angry with this woman just to get a little money from the Li family.

The old marquis knew his son's thoughts, and said weakly, "Although there are laws in the court, there are also precedents and precedents. When the third child comes back, the third child will move west to Bofu. He was a westward uncle, and the court rewarded him with his mansion, which was his home. Xuan'er will inherit the lord, I will live in the countryside with the boss, and it is not good for you to live in your nephew's house all the time. He waved his hand again and said, "You go, if you don't appear in front of me, I can live a few more days." ”

After the second master left, the old marquis went to An Rongtang, called the chief manager again, and discussed the separation of the family with the marquis of Chu. After that, he asked the third lady and Chen Afu to be invited to An Rongtang.

The old marquis said that the few of them divided the family property first, and when Chu Guangkai and Chu Lingxuan came back, they went to the yamen to set up a file and completely split the family. He and the Marquis of Chu calculated and divided 50,000 taels of silver for the second and third rooms, 5,000 acres of fertile land, three Zhuangzi, two shops, and a number of furniture ornaments.

The third lady wondered, "Father-in-law, why are you separating now? My lord and I both want to pay homage to you, and we are not in a hurry to move to the west to live in the Bofu." ”

Thinking of the separation, the old man's eyes turned red, and he said helplessly, "There's no way." The two of them couldn't figure it out, and when the eldest and I went to the countryside to live for a long time, I was afraid that Xuan'er and Xuan'er's daughter-in-law would not be able to suppress them and increase their troubles. ”

Chen Afu is the concept of his previous life, he likes to live a quiet life, and he can't wait to separate the second room and the family. But he still said a few words, "Grandpa doesn't need to think about us, we want the younger generations to pay homage to you in front of you, so that it will be lively." ”

The old marquis shook his head and said, "Filial piety, you are happy in front of me." If you are not filial, you poke me in front of me and make me angry. ”

As soon as he said this, it was difficult for others to speak again.

The old marquis said, "The second room is the weakest, so I will give them another 10,000 taels of silver." Both of you are rich men, so I won't give it this time. When I'm dead, I'll divide the rest of the private rooms among you evenly. He said to the Marquis of Chu again, "The Li family has taken more than 50,000 taels of silver from you, alas, for the sake of the second child's disability, give it to them." ”

Marquis Chu and the third lady hurriedly agreed.

The third lady was refreshed and muttered, "With so much property, I don't know how long the second uncle can last." ”

The old marquis snorted coldly, "If it is handed over to him, it will be defeated in less than ten years." In that case, my great-grandchildren will be pitiful. I have already thought about it, these silver and property, I will directly hand them over to An'er on the grounds that the second child is not in good health and the Li family is not virtuous, and An'er and his daughter-in-law will take care of the house. Moreover, if the second child wants to use a large sum of silver, An'er must report it to me first. I will also give the share to Qi'er, who is a good boy and can't let the Li family take care of it. ”

The third lady and Chen Afu both laughed, but they didn't expect the old man to be quite black-bellied, and completely broke the second master's thoughts. If the second master wants to spend money comfortably in the future, he still has to squeeze the ink-greedy silver in Li's hands.

The old marquis asked the third lady to hurry up and tell the second master's concubines Chu Lin and Chu Bi about the family affairs, it is best to settle their family affairs before the formal separation, he is not worried that these two concubines will fall into the hands of the Li family. In addition, 6,000 taels of silver were set aside from the family property in the second room for the third lady to keep and a dowry for them when they got married.

The third lady nodded in agreement, she had already looked at a few and was talking about it. helped those two little girls, not only because she was old-fashioned, but also because she didn't want them to be pinched by the Li family after the separation. If they fall into the hands of the Li family, not to mention the rich dowry, it is possible to sell them.

After that, the Marquis of Chu asked people to gradually hand over the money and property in the Hou Mansion to Chen Afu.
