Chapter 239: Take Advantage

After all, now that they are all divided, the affairs of the house are much simpler, and they are tired of managing them for so many years, if the daughter-in-law is competent, the Zhai family is also happy and relaxed, if it weren't for Shiro's biological mother is Aunt Hui, it was actually nothing to let the Cao family preside over the middle feed back then, and she is not a person who grabs the authority and is unwilling to let go, but when she thinks of handing over the affairs of the house to the daughter-in-law of Aunt Hui's son, she feels that she has sent the entire second room to their mother and son, and she is unwilling.

"My daughter-in-law is here today to ask my mother to decide!" Cheng Yiyao helped Zhai sit down before saying.

Zhai said with a smile: "Since you have let you take care of the house, your mother believes in you, and you can decide what you want!" ”

"The daughter-in-law really can't make up her mind about this matter in real time, so she can only come to bother her mother!" Cheng Yiyao even said, "Is this year's Mid-Autumn Festival gift only given to the second room or to the house?" ”

As soon as Zhai heard it, he understood that he had been busy ignoring this matter for a while, and now that Cheng Yiyao remembered it, it was no wonder that she was not good at making decisions.

Although the old lady said that he had split up before he died, Mrs. Situ listened to the third master's pout, saying that the old lady had just left, and the family had to stay in the house to keep filial piety to the old lady, and let the "second room", the master of the house now, take care of everyone's food and clothing.

At that time, Situ Xuankang was far less powerful than he is now, and naturally Mrs. Situ was not very jealous of him, at first she just let the second room pay for food and clothing, and then began to say that the meals cooked in the big kitchen were not to their liking. The clothes prepared by Zhai's people did not fit, in short, for various reasons, and finally the old lady made a decision to report the amount by each room. Let the second room allocate the money to each room every month.

Originally, the Zhai family also wanted to save their worries, and they would allocate the silver, after all, at that time, Situ Xuankang had just missed this year's imperial examination due to the death of the old lady, and he had to wait until the expiration of the three-year filial piety period to participate again, and these years could not be wasted, so the Zhai family did not dare to bother her husband with these things, so she took all the pressure alone.

Since the third room is protected by the old lady, he did this. There is no reason for the other rooms to be cheap, everyone is a brother, and it is unreasonable to say that they are favored by one another, and the Zhai family does not want to let the three-room alone take advantage. Although they are not as excessive as the three rooms, they are also raised by the two rooms.

At first, it was good that each room came according to the rules, but some people couldn't feed anything, and they paid 100 taels of silver per room a month. To the back three rooms, there are nearly 1,000 taels of expenses a month. In the end, the money earned by the shop pΓΉ and Zhuangzi every month on the second room was simply beyond their means, and the Zhai family had to use his own dowry to make up for the vacancy.

During that time, in order to allow Situ Xuankang to prepare for the imperial examination with peace of mind, Zhai's daily suffering was swallowed in his heart alone, these people were completely reckless, if he really made trouble in front of Situ Xuankang every day, how could he study hard.

Old lady Situ just knew that they had this virtue so he divided the family before he died, but he didn't expect that some people were completely faceless and skinless.

Zhai's unrestrained posting of the dowry will always be finished, that is, at that time, the contradictions that have been backlogged for a long time finally broke out. That was the only time Zhai had quarreled so fiercely with the old lady so far, and it was also that time that he killed his son.

Zhai said that it was impossible not to regret it. Why did you endure it again and again, if you endured it, why didn't you endure it all the time, in the end they didn't lose anything, the only thing they hurt was their son, her son, this life was ruined like this!

At such a point, Situ Xuankang naturally knew, he not only felt sorry for his wife and son, but also hated iron and steel, knowing what kind of face those people were, and put up with them again and again, even if the Zhai family's dowry was emptied, he couldn't feed this group of greedy wolves.

Situ Xuankang began to check the expenses of each room, where did such a large expense come from for the third room, why there were so many of them, these silver were originally swallowed by the third master, where did the bill come from.

The third master directly played the scoundrel, saying that these were used in human relations, "Go out to rely on friends, my silver is naturally used in human relations, you think I don't know how to be a person, now that grandpa is gone, if the Situ family wants to gain a firm foothold in the capital, it is not necessary to rely on others to help them, I am for the good of the Situ family, and also for the good of the second brother, do you think that the ink in your stomach can really rely on your own ability to become a scholar, and it is not necessary to rely on relationships!" ”

At that time, the words of the third master almost made Situ Xuankang and Zhai angry to death, and the most unacceptable thing for them was that since the old lady Situ nodded frequently, she felt that what the third master said was very true.

Since these silver were used for gifts, Situ Xuankang asked the third master to list all the lists, and the third master saw that he could not really use it to confront the other party, so he wrote the third lady's maiden family, maternal grandfather's family, and the husband's family of several sisters who married the third lady together.

"Since you are taking these silver as gifts, or for the good of me as a second brother, then you don't have to do it yourself in the future, I will send someone to send it for the New Year's gift, and the food and clothing in the future will still be according to the previous rules, if you think the dishes in the big kitchen are not appetizing, then buy them with your own silver, if you don't like the clothes and jewelry, you add it yourself, I won't rush you if you want to live here, but you have to follow my rules!"

Situ You's virtue, Situ Xuankang naturally didn't have the heart to entangle with them anymore, this thing is like this, since then, the New Year's gifts in each room have been prepared by the second room, although it is also a large expense, but compared to the third room to go to nearly a thousand taels of silver every month, but the cost of the New Year and the festival has been much less, and the second room can also afford it.

After so many years, it has not been moved, but now that the family has been separated, this rule naturally has to be changed, Zhai nodded and said: "The maiden family of several ladies will be sent in the name of the house according to the previous rules, and the others will not need to be sent, you send people to each room to say that they will give them a little bit of the annual practice!" ”

Zhai sneered in her heart, the advantage of the past ten years is not so easy to take advantage of, don't think that she doesn't know that the third master boasted at the third lady's mother's house that he attaches great importance to their relatives over there, and he doesn't forget their share every year, saying that he doesn't care about so much silver, the most important thing is that everyone helps each other and keeps in touch.

She wanted to see if he could still say such a thing now that he had to spend the money himself! (To be continued......)
