After Shi Bufan left the Qin family's restaurant, he spent a night peacefully. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The next day, he continued to urge the people to build water conservancy projects, which was very important, so he didn't dare to take it lightly. At that time, after Bufan came back, he found that two people were waiting outside his house. These two people, that is, Qin Jiarui's stepmother, and Qin Jiarui's younger brother?

This made Shi Bufan frown even more, didn't Qin Jiarui break off the relationship with the Qin family? Why did he still have a conflict with this woman yesterday, but now he still dares to come to his place? Shi Bufan didn't retaliate against them, that's already good, so they still dare to come over? Are they really dying of their own accord?

"Shi County Male, Shi County Male, I didn't know your noble person yesterday, please don't mind. I'm here today to ask for something! The woman said hurriedly.

Shi Bufan said directly: "What is the relationship between me and you?" “

"Shi Xiannan, since my daughter is your wife, then I am also your mother-in-law, I ......"

Shi Bufan hurriedly explained, saying, "You tell me clearly, Miss Qin is not my wife, so you are also my mother-in-law." You mother-in-law, I can't afford it! “

The so-called mother-in-law is not just screaming. You must know that in ancient times, only the parents of the main wife were the father-in-law. As for the parents of those concubines, they must not casually say that they are fathers-in-law and mothers-in-law, which not only reduces the status of the main wife, but also has the suspicion of "taking the concubine as a wife". Therefore, in many Tang Dynasty novels, it is absolutely inappropriate to call the parents of concubines father-in-law and mother-in-law. In the final analysis, a concubine is just an "object", he is no different from the dining table and the bed he sleeps on, it is just a kind of "private property", where is there a "maker" of his own property, father-in-law and mother-in-law.

As for taking care of the concubine's family behind the back, it is human nature, but under the patriarchal system, it can't be messed up. Shi Bufan currently does not have the ability to challenge the patriarchal system of this era, let alone quickly disintegrate the patriarchal system. Even the people's minds think so, where does he dare to mess around. He understands the principle of survival of the fittest very well, since there is no way to change, then adapt first. When you adapt to the rules, you can use the rules, and finally you have enough strength to trample on the rules and then make a rule again. However, at present, Shi Bufan is still between the rules of adaptation and the rules of use, and he can't even perfect the rules of use, so he naturally doesn't dare to mess around.

"Could it be that Jia Rui has made your concubine?" This made the woman pale.

Shi Bufan hurriedly explained: "Miss Qin is not my concubine either, didn't you see me call her Miss Qin?" ”

"What the hell are you related to?" The woman asked.

Shi Bufan said casually: "Guess for yourself!" ”

Shi Bufan left immediately after speaking, in fact, he didn't know what the relationship between himself and Qin Jiarui was under the ancient system. To say that there was a term for "lover" in later generations, but there was no such term in ancient times, either a wife or a concubine. It is precisely because of the ancient monogamy and polygamy system that has stifled the existence of the identity of the lover, so Shi Bufan doesn't know how to explain it?

To say that it is passable. Rape, that's not right, because Qin Jiarui is not married. So this is a complete legal blank, and Shi Bufan doesn't bother to explain it.

"Shi Xiannan, you help me, if you don't help me, then our Qin family's property will also be swallowed!" The woman pleaded with you.

However, Shi Bufan didn't pay attention to it at all, and walked directly to put it inside. They wanted to follow, but they were blocked by the servants of the Shi family, and they wouldn't let her in at all.

"Jiarui, what's going on?" Shi Bufan asked.

Qin Jiarui replied: "Actually, it's very simple, what is happening in Chang'an is spreading the fastest, and the news is spreading the fastest." Since you fell out with the Qin family yesterday and the news has spread, many people who coveted the Qin family's industry in the past have also begun to be tempted. In just one day, the creditors of all kinds of loans in the Qin family's restaurants came to collect debts. Of course, I don't know if these debts are real or not, they claim to have borrowed them from my father when he was alive, but I think most of them are fake. ”

"Of course, if you hadn't fallen out with the Qin family at that time, they would naturally not dare to do it casually. But now they want to come and divide the Qin family's family business. Because they didn't dare to do anything to the Qin family's family business before, so they thought I was your woman, and they didn't know if you would take care of the Qin family's family business by the way when you loved the house and Wu. Now that you and the Qin family have fallen out, it is naturally impossible for them to come together, so that they have the idea of wanting to snatch the Qin family's family business. ”

Shi Bufan finally snorted coldly and said, "Your stepmother is really stupid, she doesn't even know why her family business can be maintained, so she wants to cross the river and tear down the bridge to unload the mill and kill the donkey?" At this time, it is far from the time to unload the mill and kill the donkey, and your stepmother will also look at the tea house and money house in your hand and want to take it over. doesn't look at his own ability, it is impossible to maintain this family business, and sooner or later it will be lost. ”

"At that time, I said that this family business does not have your share, and you don't need to make so many sacrifices for him. If your younger brother can't keep the family business, then don't blame the people. Don't think that power can guarantee permanence, what is really eternal is still good education and knowledge, not family business. As long as you have a good upbringing and knowledge, you can still get rich again one day. ”

"If you can't control your state of mind and intellectual ability, then in the end, no matter how big your family business is, it will be ruined. Don't think that power can be eternal, even a dynasty can't be eternal, how can power be eternal? Those who rely on power will inevitably die under power in the end. Those who know how to water die in water, and those who get power die in power. In the end, the real reliance is on oneself, what power and kinship, it is just a foreign thing. Proper use is possible, but it must not be relied upon. ”

It's a pity that too many people don't understand this truth, thinking that it is enough to have a relationship and an official as a backer. But he is pinning his fate on others, and the fate of his family on others, so he is just someone else's slave. That's why I said, I won't use power to help you too much, I can only make sure that others can't threaten you with power, and the rest is up to you. Commercial matters should be solved by commercial means as much as possible. ”

Qin Jiarui nodded, obviously understanding. Qin Jiarui remembered that in the years after his father's death, it was a lot of hard work. She is a woman who circles around those who want to swallow the Qin family's family business, on the one hand, to ensure the Qin family's family business, and on the other hand, to use various means to resist the other party's conspiracy.

It's not even that no one wants to force her to marry someone, so that she can also hollow out the Qin family's property by the way and seek to seize the Qin family's family business. However, at that time, she kept filial piety for her father, and she barely escaped this conspiracy to be forced to marry. Later, I met Shi Bufan, and I really escaped this persecution.

Of course, at that time, she was able to maintain the Qin family's family business, and she also had her own ability. If there were no means, it would have been swallowed up by those wolf-like peers, and there was even some bureaucracy.

She struggled to maintain the balance, and finally managed to extend the extension for two years without being annexed. Before, due to Shi Bufan and Dugu heavy snow, but this was reluctantly solved. But now that Shi Bufan and the Qin family have fallen out, those people think that Shi Bufan will not protect the Qin family, so they will naturally choose to come and annex it. All kinds of means were also used, and Qin Jiarui's younger brother and stepmother had no way to stop it.

This stepmother is just a vase, just a woman who survives on people. Once there is no Qin Jiarui and Shi Bufan's maintenance, in the face of those who are like wolves and tigers, she will be six gods and no masters.

Even he is inferior to Qin Jiarui, at that time, Qin Jiarui managed to maintain it for two years, and it was not annexed for two years, but this woman couldn't hold on even for a day, so it was really a straw bale.

This is also the difference in personal ability, Qin Jiarui can maintain it for two years, but this woman has nothing to do for a day, and the six gods have no master to intercede with Shi Bufan, so it is obviously a straw bag.

"Jiarui, what are you going to do in the future? What are you going to do with this Qin family? Shi Bufan asked.

Qin Jiarui thought about it, and finally said: "Husband, as a woman, she should be based on her husband's family. But after all, my blood is thicker than water, and I can't watch the Qin family's family business being swallowed up like this. Although I don't want me to wait for my stepmother, she gave birth to a son for my father after all, and she can be regarded as the heir of the Qin family. Moreover, my brother is still young and ignorant, and it is my stepmother who wants to rob us of our inheritance, so it is not his own idea. I think I can still leave a way for my brother, not to mention making him rich, but at least he will have no worries about food and clothing! ”

"This Qin family's restaurant inn is an industry that my father has worked hard for half his life. Even in the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, he persevered, and I don't want him to lose his property in the peaceful years. Although it seems difficult now, this kind of food, clothing, shelter and transportation is impossible to lack. As long as you survive a few years, it is not impossible to recover. Especially after a few years, the people have some money to spare, so they can naturally come out to eat and stay. This is not impossible to recover. Those people want to seize this inn, in fact, they also hope to take advantage of this time, the lowest price, and there is enough future in the future, so that it is the most suitable. ”

"Therefore, although I dare not say that I am rich and rich, it is okay for this father's property to be left to my younger brother. At least he can have no worries about food and clothing in this life. ”

Qin Jiarui's statement is understandable. Because blood is thicker than water, it is normal for people to take care of their own family members is an idea that almost every loved one has. If Shi Bufan reluctantly asked Qin Jiarui to completely break up with his past family, then it would not be appropriate for Shi Bufan to do so. Although the ancient ethics and morality were that the water spilled by the married daughter was not taken back, theoretically the married daughter had nothing to do with her mother's family. However, in fact, this kind of ethics is ethics, but in fact it is only to maintain the so-called patriarchal inheritance, not to separate feelings.

Personal feelings can still be maintained, and even the daughter-in-law can go back to her parents' house for anything. You must know that even the concubine has the saying "provincial relatives", and this kind of relationship between blood and water can not be separated casually.

Therefore, Shi Bufan is not incomprehensible to Qin Jiarui for helping his past family, but is very understanding. If a person doesn't even recognize his relatives, then he is really a terrible cold-blooded person. A person who does not even recognize his own relatives will not be believed in his loyalty. Because your relatives are your closest relatives, you can casually deny them, which is even more terrifying, because those who are not relatives dare not have a relationship with you.

When Wu Qi killed his wife and begged for a general, in the end, not only was not trust, but greater suspicion. Because a person who even kills his wife when he says he will kill it, it makes people's teeth cold, so it is not necessarily a good thing to kill his relatives in righteousness, although maybe ordinary people will praise him, but if he doesn't make some efforts for his relatives, it will also make people's teeth cold.

"Let them in!" Shi Bufan said.

Soon, Qin Jiarui's stepmother and her younger brother also came in, and then looked at Shi Bufan and Qin Jiarui pitifully, obviously hoping that Shi Bufan would open his mouth to plead.

This woman knows that the man yesterday is not a "buddy", but a man from Wupin County in Datang, and he is also a county man in Wannian County, responsible for half of Chang'an City. This is kicked to the iron plate, no wonder the county lieutenant with a salary of 10,000 years will help Shi Bufan, it turns out to be a colleague relationship. But this woman also regrets a lot, why didn't she hold such a thick leg?

"Shi Xiannan, please help me! Those people came to force debts, and took the IOUs of the late husband to demand repayment, but we have no way to make the decision. I went to ask the county lieutenant of Longqing to call the shots, but the county lieutenant of Longqing refused to help. Now, I can only blame you for asking for your help. Please help me this time for my daughter's sake. As long as I can keep the Qin family's family business, then I can agree to everything. The woman said.

Shi Bufan's face was suddenly displeased, and this woman seemed to have a little "that" when she spoke, as if she was hinting at something. Shi Bufan is also a person who often mixes in the white-collar class in later generations, and knows very well that some male and female white-collar workers who do not know how to clean themselves up work under pressure during the day and go to consume at night. Even sometimes when you look at it, you will "hint" at it by the way, so Shi Bufan is a little sensitive. (To be continued.) )
