Chapter 371: Guo Family's Style
The old man and the old lady stared at him with wide eyes, their eyes were full of shock, the old man's face was pale, his fingers were trembling and he pointed at him, and his lips were trembling and he couldn't speak.
Wen Han was still kneeling and smiled mockingly, "Grandfather don't be surprised, when you treated me badly after my father's death, you should have killed me together, so that when I grow up, I should know that I will take revenge." The second brother is clothed and fed, and I only have single clothes for the winter, the second brother shows off my father's literary play, and I can only cry and swallow, and the second sister-in-law takes my mother's dowry to give gifts everywhere, but I can't say a word, and I have to pretend not to see it. Grandfather, how innocent am I? What am I doing wrong, are you going to do this to me?
Either let the second uncle's family go to hell to kowtow to my parents and admit their mistakes, or return my parents' property, and if you can't get back what you spent, you can make up for me with your own things of the same value, and you can't lose a single point, otherwise, the second uncle and the second brother will have no future, I am alone, I don't care if I die, do I still care about reputation? ”
The old man took a deep breath, and it was easy to calm down, "You have endured until today, how can you be sure that you will be named on the gold list, and even if you are nominated, how can you be sure that you will be able to be an official in the court?" ”
"Because I married the daughter of the Shangguan family, my future father-in-law is still good to me, as long as I don't make mistakes, the support is certain, Shangguan Mingzhu dotes on her sisters very much, and she took her sisters to see the Queen Mother several times, haven't you inquired about these things? If I'm in a good mood, maybe I won't worry about my second brother, otherwise the new and old accounts will be counted together. Wen Han smiled at the corners of his mouth.
"You beast!" The old lady screamed sadly, almost fainting with anger, and her head was dizzy.
"Aren't you all better than me? My grandmother is grateful for her teachings over the years, and without your meanness, how could I be where I am today? "Wen Han is a literati, how can the old lady compare with this mouthful of kung fu.
The old man sank down and took it, looking seriously and carefully at this grandson who was not pinned on hope or even given up and treated harshly, and now that he had taken off, he couldn't stop feeling remorse, but he was also a little proud.
The future of the Guo family is promising, but whether it is the one that he cultivates wholeheartedly is really a trick!
"Yes, I will order someone to arrange your parents' property, Cuiliu, go and bring my box." The old man's heart was much clearer and he had a decision.
The maid held a blind man above her head, and did not dare to say a word.
The old man opened the box, took out two sheets, and threw them to him, "This is your parents' original dowry list and your father's financial list, and the things on it are indeed almost spent, but I haven't touched some large items and antiques, they are all in the warehouse, you can compare them when you go back." This deed is also for you, it is a four-entry house, and the yard needs to be renovated.
You go and settle down by yourself, it can be regarded as compensation for you, the wedding is held in the old house, this is face, no matter how much you hate it in your heart, the face of the Guo family still has to be scrupulous. Back then, your father was my heart and my pride, but he left early, I had to make another plan, I will still do it again, as for the bad treatment of you, it should be my fault, if you want to hold a grudge, remember it on my old man's body, you need to know that desire is difficult to fill, and people's hearts are changeable! ”
Wen Han picked up the list and silently guarded it in his arms, kowtowed a few times, turned around and left, "According to what you mean, I don't plan to treat the second uncle's family like this, the second uncle doesn't treat me so badly, I know, but the second aunt is too greedy, sooner or later there will be trouble, the second brother needs to be honed, his talent is really good, but he is too pampered, if he doesn't sharpen it, he won't be able to pass the exam next year." ”
Hate? It's hateful, but it's also his home! It is precisely because he gave birth to him and raised his family that there will be hatred and heartache, because there are too many things in his heart that he can't let go of, and he can't be indifferent.
"I know, don't worry, there won't be any problems with your wedding, I can guarantee that your aunt will help you supervise it." The old man can only be glad that he left a way and did not force the child into a corner, and his daughter's pity and maintenance have played a role in the end.
Wen Han left, and the old lady woke up and howled, "This one who kills a thousand knives!" Woooooo ”
"Shut up!" The old man roared angrily, his eyes were round, and he was menacing.
"Sir, you ......." The old lady was startled by the scolding.
"Wen Han is also surnamed Guo, and he is the eldest grandson of my Guo family, from now on, the resources of the Guo family will be given priority to Wen Han, you go and give me things to get back, especially the second daughter-in-law, she is too greedy, let her spit it out for me, otherwise I will wait for the letter of resignation." Come! The old man made a series of decisions in an instant at this moment.
Wen Han's resentment made him wake up, and he couldn't get by, and he was confused.
"Master, do you have something to order?"
"Go and let people pack up their things, take five hundred taels of silver tickets and broken silver, pack a few pieces of fine and soft, don't be too good, go to the academy to pick up Wenqing, go directly out of the city to go on a study tour, tell him that his eldest brother can already determine the title of the gold list, if you don't believe it, wait for the good news." If he doesn't get a place, he won't have any support from me from now on. The old man finally made up his mind.
"Yes, do you want to send a martial arts guy?" The housekeeper is very sober and has already begun to choose the candidate in his mind.
"Bring one." The old man sighed deeply.
"Then ...... the eldest young master?"
"Go and let people take back all his parents' things, especially the second child, just say that it is my order, no one can stop it, and if you don't get it, you will make up for it with the second daughter-in-law's dowry, and if you don't take it, let her pack her things and go back to her parents' house, you wait for me." The old man thought about it and asked people to prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
Writing in one go, a letter of resignation was written, and it was handed to the housekeeper, "Take this and spit out a lot of the finances to me." It's important to get it right. The old man was simply decisive, showing the resolute style of the head of the family.
"Yes!" The housekeeper knew at a glance that the old man was really coming, so without saying a word, he took the letter of resignation, took the mother-in-law and the little maid, and went straight to the second room to search.
Soon there were voices of harmony and crying and scolding in the second room, and the second room was in a mess in an instant, and the maid and the little maid were blocked on the second door to play the board, and wanted to go out to report to the second son, the old man had already sent someone to branch the second son, and there must be a black and white right or wrong before dark today!
The old man is quite decisive, he has not been so vigorous and resolute for many years, and it can also be seen that the old man's demeanor back then was no less than the current Wen Han, that is, now the Guo family has lost to a second-rate family because there is no rising star who can afford it, but still no one dares to bully the Guo family, the second child of the Guo family is still like a fish in water in the officialdom, and he still has a share in the promotion, these are not the shadows left by the old man and the dead boss.
Wen Han stood in his courtyard and looked at the sky outside the courtyard, his straight back was so lonely and sad, and he muttered to himself, "Dad, you're right, you have to fight for what you want, Dad, you wait for your son's gold list title and then kowtow to you!" Son lives up to your expectations! I will lead my daughter-in-law to meet your second elder, you also give me long eyes, I think your daughter-in-law is still a smart and beautiful girl, we should be able to live well, even if she is not good, I will treat her well, I owe the favor of the Shangguan family, we have to have a conscience, don't we?
