Chapter 111: Second Brother Pick First

The New Year's Day should be the most time for family reunion and family fun.

But the Shen family chose to part ways at this time.

The old lady had a stern demeanor, and there was a thick stack of account books beside her. These account books look quite new, and I think they were only recently sorted out by the rich housekeeper.

Up and down the Shen family, except for the third young master who was sick in bed, and the second lady who had married in the big house did not appear. The rest, at this time, all looked stern and stood up according to their seniority.

In the second room, there are two old men and two ladies standing in the front. Both of them had red eyes and held each other tightly. It seems that they still can't accept the fact of separation.

Shen Chuxuan is not the fourth son of the Shen family now, he has become the eldest son of the second room of the Shen family. As the eldest son of the second room, Shen Chuxuan stood behind the second master. Xu didn't have any concept of this kind of change - Shen Chuxuan didn't notice his parents' sadness at all, and just stood routinely.

Behind Shen Chuxuan, are the two sisters Shen Youlan and Shen Youfu.

Shen Youlan frowned, the changes in her family and the sadness of her parents worried her, but she couldn't help now, and she couldn't even say a word of comfort.

Shen Youfu has nothing to persuade, it is a great joy to be able to split the family, otherwise the second master will die at the hands of his brother sooner or later.

However, Shen Youfu felt that there was a gaze behind her, which made her very uncomfortable.

…… Shen Lian.

Behind Shen Youfu is Aunt Rong with a resentful face, Aunt Rong is holding the tenth young master of the concubine in her hand, and then she is Shen Lian.

This is also the first time that Shen Youfu has seen Shen Lian since she came back from the Xu family.

Winter clothes are thick. I can't see how she can clear it, but her walking and standing posture are very twisted, and it must be that the whiplash on her shoulder and back has not yet healed.

Shen Lian gave people a very different feeling than before.

In the past, Shen Lian, who was a mouthful of seven sisters, was so affectionate. Now I see her without saying a word, like a passerby. However, even if she didn't speak, Shen Youfu could still feel the resentment emanating from her body. This hatred is directed at her.

She didn't understand Shen Lian, a person with a good face and an evil heart. Since they know that they are disguised as "good", it means that they know that "goodness" is correct. So why not just be a "good" person. It's good to be rewarded.

Does she have to trample everyone else under her feet to be happy?

Shen Youfu didn't even look back, and the concubine was different-when the family was separated this time, it was time to remind the second master to make rules. Otherwise this is the second room. It's going to get worse and worse.

Shen Youfu is already planning for the future. And the old lady also slowly opened her mouth.

The old lady's voice was the same as ever. But Shen Youfu heard a sense of sadness: "If our Shen family wants to divide the family, we must sort out the family wealth and divide it into three." Your father left early, so I'll settle the account...... You guys. No comment. ”

After the old lady finished speaking, she looked at her three sons.

…… I don't need to ask, of course I don't have an opinion.

The old lady nodded and continued: "The Shen family's mansion is not small, but it is not enough to divide it into three parts. Either split it in two and convert it into two courtyards, or keep it as it is now. ”

It is divided into two, which means that there are still two houses left to live next to each other, and the other house is moved out. And if it is still like this, only one room will remain, and the other two rooms will be moved out.

Shen Youfu glanced at the eldest master, according to common sense, since the eldest lord wants to support the old lady, it must be him who stays......

As soon as Shen Youfu thought of this, she heard the eldest man say in a muffled voice: "My son is willing to move out to live, and the rest is arranged by my younger brothers." ”

After listening to the old man's words, the old lady's expression stiffened for a moment - at such a young age, she was going to move out of the mansion where she had lived all her life with her eldest son! It's not just troublesome and uncomfortable...... This is also a kind of wolf bèi......

Shen Youfu suddenly became angry! Although it is not the time to be soft when the family is separated, the eldest master is not wrong in doing this from the perspective of interests, but he is also too ruthless!

It's a shame that the old lady broke up to protect him!

――Speaking of which, the Shen family is not allowed to live next to each other, so it is impossible to live next to each other! The only option is to leave one room and occupy the Shen family's mansion exclusively, while the other two rooms go out to find a place to live.

This will lead to a result - the house that is left behind, because it occupies the largest property, is bound to divide the shop and cash less!

Everyone will calculate this account, the population of the Shen family's three rooms is not large, who uses such a large yard? Unless you are a fool, you are willing to stay--Shen Youfu felt an ominous premonition rise in her heart......

Sure enough, the second master spoke: "Mother, the child doesn't leave, the child wants to stay!" ”

…… Alas! She knew it.

The second old man cried, which made the old lady also red, and Shen Youfu could obviously feel that the fifth sister's body trembled slightly, and she should have cried.

The old lady nodded to the second master, eased her feelings again, and then instructed the rich housekeeper to bring up three trays.

On top of these three trays, there were three fluttering Bai Xuan—it seemed that all the things of the Shen family were just these three pieces of paper.

"Since there is no division between the mansions, then you can go up and pick one yourself."

I don't know if the old lady was reluctant, or because she had expected this result - on the list she had listed, the Shen family's mansion was not separated.

With the old lady's order, the third old man, who had not spoken, was the first to rush forward regardless of it.

He took all three pieces of paper in his hand at once and looked at them next to each other.

What he wants most is cash and a shop - as for the real estate, the third lady Jin Qianya's dowry has a similar set, just enough to give them three rooms to live in!

On the piece of paper where there is a mansion, everything else is really less! The third master put it down without hesitation.

On the other two, one is more shops, and the other is more cash. The third master remembered his wife's words - it is better to have cash than to have a shop!

The Shen family's shop, except for the "Shen Family Rice Shop", the rest are mediocre. And the "Shen Family Rice Shop" has now sold out of rice and has closed down - by the next year, the whole city of rice shops will learn that trick, and the business of the Shen Family Rice Shop will not be too good, so there is nothing to fight about.

But with more money in hand, you can buy more and better shops, and you can take care of it from scratch!

The third master chose the one with the most silver and put it in front of him, and then said with a smile: "I'll just take a look first, or the eldest brother and the second brother will pick it first." ”

As soon as the third master's voice fell, the eldest master gave him a blank look and stepped forward steadily.

Like the third master, the eldest master had already said that he didn't want a mansion, so he was the first to put down the one with a mansion.

He compared the remaining two, and chose the one with the most shops—the old man also wanted silver. However, as the eldest son, he has already given up the Shen family's mansion...... If he doesn't occupy the Shen family's old shop, if he says it, he won't be able to think that he was kicked out by the Shen family!

After reading it, the eldest master put the one he chose in front of him: "Second brother, let's pick it first!" ”

…… Shen Youfu was speechless.

The second master has been staring at the big mansion since just now, as if he was afraid of being robbed by others, and the eldest master and the third master may have seen it, and at this time they are good people.

Shen Youfu really wants to see, if the second master doesn't choose the mansion at this time, what will happen to their brothers?

It's a pity that the second master really doesn't have such a deep city, he didn't even push it, he directly stepped forward and picked up what no one wanted, and then carefully twisted it with his two hands, crying and saying: "Mother, the child is not leaving!" ”

…… What a dad is this! Shen Youfu wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve - what a stupid child who can make people cry.

In this way, the family property was divided exceptionally smoothly. However, this does not mean that the brothers are polite, it can only show that the old lady knows them well.

Shen Youfu took advantage of the second master's disobedience to take a look at the list, a big mansion, and these worthless things in the house. A "Shen family rice shop". A small amount of silver. There are also a lot of deeds of sale for subordinates......

Sure enough, the crying child has milk to drink, and the three rooms in the big room are full, only the second master is reluctant to drink the rice soup while holding it!

Shen Youfu rubbed her forehead and opened her mouth, she was a worried life!

"Grandmother, the fifth sister's marriage is scheduled ahead, and it is said that this dowry should also come from the public." Shen Youfu shook off Miss Five's hand to stop her, and continued: "The wedding date was originally set tightly, and if there is no cash to deal with at this time, the face of the second room will not look good. ”

As soon as they heard this, how could the eldest master and the third master still have a little bit of humility?

Both of them tightly clutched the list in their hands, staring at Shen Youfu like hungry wolves, for fear that Shen Youfu would snatch the meat from their mouths!

The old lady glanced at Shen Youfu fiercely - she finally got rid of the two difficult ones, and she came out to make trouble again.

The old lady didn't know that she owed the second room in this way, but she counted Shen Youfu as a family property - in a word, where there is Shen Youfu in the house, there will be no shortage of silver in the house.

But Shen Youfu's words are too reasonable! Shen Youlan's marriage was decided by her, and no matter how the dowry is calculated, half of it will be paid in the public middle school.

The old lady looked at the eldest master and the third old man who refused to give in, and finally had to compromise.

"What has been assigned, it will not be changed." The old lady was obviously relieved to see the eldest master and the third master, and she continued: "You two are uncles, each take out four hundred taels, and it should be a gift for your niece to add makeup!" ”

Four hundred taels is not a lot, but it is better than redistributing the property!

The two masters agreed without hesitation - if this is really a room with Shen Youfu, there will be no shortage of silver in which room, and they will snatch back eight hundred taels for the second room in one sentence!

――――

Anyway, after driving away these two wolves, Shen Youfu can finally sleep well - tomorrow is the first day of the new year, and she, as the owner, will also bring some colorful gifts to visit the farmers of Cuibei Mountain! Of course, she also prepared a small gift for her owner, Ye Gongzi.

I hope to get a thick ...... from Ye Gongzi (To be continued......)
