Minhou Mansion, Xiangcun Courtyard

"Alas, that guy from Qi Lian is living a comfortable life now, not only is he completely in charge, but he has also divided a large amount of money and assets, and now he can do whatever he wants, and he is no longer short of money!"

Ning Jinzhong sat on the edge of his daughter-in-law's bed, sighed, and said with envy, his brother is finally no longer subject to the monthly money, and he can go directly to the public treasury to withdraw as much as he wants, but now he is still succumbing to his parents, has no selfish property, and does not dare to buy his own property, even if he buys an industry, he has to put it in his daughter-in-law's dowry, and lives on monthly money every month, and his life is stumbling.

I don't dare to use it if I have money, let alone no money.

"If you want money, you just say it, you think you are saying it like this, I don't know that you are asking me for money, this month's money has already been spent, you are really embarrassed, see the moon with my dowry, my dowry will have to be lost to you sooner or later."

Say, how much? ”

Mao glanced at Ning Jinzhong, raised his hand and took the wooden box with silver on the side and asked.

According to her understanding of her husband, at the end of each month, when she talks about money, no matter what she said before, it will definitely end up detouring to borrow money from her.

It's all a habit.

Fortunately, she has a lot of dowry, and her monthly income is not bad, otherwise she really can't bear it.

"Oh, daughter-in-law, that's what you said.

Am I that kind of person?

I just want to say that the sixteen cousins of the Qi Lian family have been divided, and I heard that each of them has divided no less than 20,000 things, where do you say that their family got so much money, when Brother Qi Lian was with me in the past, he has always behaved quite poor, and sometimes I have to invite him as a guest.

He shouldn't have been pretending to be poor for so many years, right? ”

Ning Jinzhong's suspicion is reasonable, anyone who hears that his brother who has shared weal and butter with him is a big tyrant, will think so.

"Twenty thousand taels?

Where did you hear that? Their family has sixteen concubines, one of whom is 20,000 taels, and those sixteen add up to a full 320,000 taels, plus except for the eldest son of the lord, the rest of the sons can only divide into three percent of the family property, so doesn't it mean that their family treasury has more than one million family properties? ”

It is a well-known thing that the division of family property is only divided into the public treasury, and it is also a well-known fact that the money in the public treasury is often not as large as the private treasury of the housewife.

So, how could Mao not be surprised?

"I don't know about this, but their concubines each shared five thousand taels of silver, a set of two courtyards in the capital, a shop, twenty hectares of fields, plus a few jewelry and antiques, which should be no problem, this is what Qi Lian himself said, even if you don't add those jewelry and antiques, the value of other things adds up to more than 20,000 taels.

It's incredible!

When their family married a wife and daughter, they spent nearly 200,000 taels of silver, but they didn't expect that they would have such a thick family foundation for so many years.

You also know the situation of our family, I estimate that it is enough to take out 100,000 taels in our family's public treasury, all of them are the founding marquis mansions, how can the gap between them and Qilian and their family be so big? ”

Because the specific figure was revealed to him by Qi Lian when he was drunk, Ning Jinzhong was naturally convinced, and while talking, he also complained about his own family, complaining that he was not as rich as Qi Lian.

"Xianggong, you're wrong.

Our public treasury can not take out 100,000 taels, last year's disaster, our field is not harvested, and even in order to avoid the farmer starving to death, but also allocated 2,000 taels to buy grain, so last year is a net loss of more than 30,000 taels of silver, the loss in the field can not be traced in the second year, so this loss is a real loss, the kind that cannot be made up.

Now, it is estimated that even 10,000 taels of cash can not be taken out in the public treasury, some time ago I also heard that the second family went to the old lady to ask for something, so I sent the monthly money last month, the second family is really embarrassed, I am greedy for the public treasury I don't know how much, I am embarrassed to ask the old lady to fill the hole, you don't know, our family is also our master's monthly money can be issued on time, those who are maids, the monthly money has to be pushed back half a month, Guess what the second family did with those monthly money and silver for half a month? ”

When it came to the back, Mao was almost sneering sarcastically.

"Is the family so poor?

also pressed down on the next person's monthly money for half a month?

What does the second family want to do? ”

Ning Jinzhong was a little shocked at this time, he never knew that their family was already in dire straits.

Although he is the eldest son, his mother died in childbirth when he gave birth to him, and now the old lady in the house is his stepmother, so after his father's death, the housekeeping power that was originally held by his wife was deprived by his stepmother by trying to find a mistake and gave it to his second brother's daughter-in-law, that is, the daughter-in-law of his stepmother's son.

If it weren't for the fact that his son's identity was invited down before his father's death, and he had been conscientious and didn't dare to make any mistakes, it is estimated that his position as the marquis may not still be on him, but because of the pressure of filial piety, it is not easy for him to forcibly say that he will divide the family or something, so he can only let his stepmother and his stepbrother still occupy his marquis mansion with grievances, and he does not even have the power to be the master of the house and the money in charge of the family treasury.

So he really didn't know what was going on at home.

I don't know how many people were forced by her to sell their fields and houses, and even sell their children and daughters, and then she changed hands and bought those houses and fields at a low price, and even sold their children at a high price, just like this, she can earn thousands of taels a month.

Just listen to these words, I'm looking for evidence now, and when I find all the evidence, if I don't kill the second family, I won't have the surname Mao. How important this matter is, you should know it in your heart, and the second family uses usury to make usury your post, if I don't find all the evidence, once the news is accidentally leaked out, it will be us who will be unlucky at that time, so you don't go out to drink anymore during this time, stay at home honestly for me, and wait for me to find all the evidence. ”

Mao's eyebrows and eyes were slightly dark, but the corners of her mouth had already pulled out a trace of laughter and ruthlessness, over the years, because she was deprived of housekeeping rights, when her best friends invited her out as a guest in the past, she was embarrassed to go out to participate in those banquets, for fear of being ridiculed and ridiculed by others, and now she finally caught the fault of the second family, no matter how high the price, she must find a way to get the evidence.

If she doesn't fight for steamed buns, she doesn't bring down the second family and kill her, she really can't vent the resentment and anger that she has been pressed by their family for more than ten years, and she can't breathe and has no dignity.
