The husband's coffin was placed in Yizhuang, and his own cage was moved to the small courtyard of Yangliu Lane, so simply settled in Nanyi County, and the old house did not dare to entangle for the time being-

It stands to reason that the Liu family should be very satisfied, Cheng Qing has settled the family with such a quick cut, and she doesn't know where to start.

But Liu still has many doubts.

Cheng Qing's sisters were also puzzled, and the eldest lady couldn't help but ask her:

"Xiaolang, why did you accept the two hundred taels of silver from the third uncle? The people in the old house bullied us like that, and we don't have to be pitiful in the old house! ”

Mrs. Cheng is not born to the Liu family, but from Cheng Zhiyuan's original match Qi.

Cheng Zhiyuan fell out with his stepmother that year, and the family was separated from the clan, leaving Nanyi with his new wife Qi, Qi's dystocia, and he died after giving birth to the eldest lady. The eldest lady is a little older, Cheng Zhiyuan married the Liu family as a continuation, and the Liu family took care of the eldest lady until she was more than a year old before she became pregnant, and gave birth to Erniang and Sanniang at one time.

Cheng Qing is Cheng Zhiyuan's fourth daughter, and was raised as a son since she was a child.

Cheng Qing was taken care of by the Liu family when she was a child, and the secret that she was a girl was only known to the Liu family and Cheng Zhiyuan.

As soon as Cheng Zhiyuan died, Liu was the only person who knew about it.

This secret, the Liu family maintained very well, even if Cheng Zhiyuan died, she never thought of telling Cheng Qing's true gender to her three daughters. Women, follow their fathers at home, marry their husbands, and follow their sons when they die, even if Cheng Qing is a fake son, it is also the support of the Liu family and the three sisters!

The eldest lady practiced this very well, she didn't want Cheng Qing to accept Cheng Zhi's money, but she would not question Cheng Qing's decision in public, and endured it until she only said it to her own family.

Cheng Qing didn't perfunctory the eldest lady, but she thought that she could correct the big sister's view of money.

Girls, don't think that silver is copper and vulgar, and you won't know until you are beaten by society that your lover's mouth is a deceitful ghost, and the silver of white flowers will never betray you.

"Eldest sister, why can't I ask for the third uncle's silver?"

Mrs. Cheng was anxious, "My father didn't interact with the old mansion before his death, Xiaolang, if you do this, won't you let the old mansion look down on us!" ”

Cheng Qing smiled, turned his head and asked Liu: "Mother, if you don't count the four hundred taels of silver that fell from the sky, how much silver is left in the family?" ”

Liu Shi was silent for a moment, and then took out the silver box:

"Your father went suddenly, there were more than 800 taels of silver at home, buy a coffin for him, send a sum of money to dismiss his subordinates, and find a doctor for Xiaolang, and there is a dart master escort on the road in March...... Up to now, there are only sixty-three taels of silver and the usual copper coins in this box. ”

Copper coins have always been equal to one tael of silver, and all the belongings of the Cheng family are only 64 taels of silver.

Cheng Zhiyuan has been a person who has been in the public for more than ten years, as the saying goes, "three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver", Cheng Zhiyuan did not become a prefect but also did three years of prefect, all his belongings were only more than 800 taels of silver, and he has been living in the official office with his family, and he has not bought a house or field...... This is also the source of Cheng Qing's confidence that he can overturn the case for Cheng Zhiyuan.

If Cheng Zhiyuan was involved in the disaster relief silver embezzlement case and committed suicide, what about the money he was greedy for?

Qin Cha rummaged through the county office, but he didn't find the account book or a large amount of money, Cheng Zhiyuan is a poor county!

The Liu family told the family's financial situation, and Mrs. Cheng was stunned.

As for the few houses they live in now, they also need fifteen taels of silver a year for rent, and there are 64 taels of silver left in the house, which really can't last long.

Mrs. Cheng then gritted her teeth, "Mother, Xiaolang, now that our family is in the middle of the road, there is no need to talk about the pomp and circumstance of the family members of Zhixian County, I still have a head and clothes, and it is worth four or five hundred taels to send it to the pawnshop——"

It is better to hold up with the silver that has been used as clothes and jewelry than to bow to the old house.

Mrs. Cheng's temper is really exactly the same as Cheng Zhiyuan.

Her decision also affected Erniang and Sanniang, these two sisters also made a fuss about sending things to the pawnshop, they are not as rich as the eldest lady, and most of the eldest lady's clothes and jewelry are subsidized by the Qi family, but Erniang and Sanniang's ring hairpin clothes and ornaments can also add up to three or four hundred taels.

The three sisters were so united that the Liu family was moved, looking at Cheng Qing with their eyes blank, and they also wanted to send their things to the pawnshop.

What can Cheng Qing say?

Moved is moved, but it also hurts in the brain.

She held her forehead and smiled bitterly:

"Eldest sister, I just don't have any interest, and I won't see that you have no hairpins to wear and no clothes to wear, other daughters have them, and I will earn more for you sooner or later! I asked my mother to tell you the surplus money at home, because I wanted to remind you that silver is a good thing, and we can get along with the old house, but don't get along with the money in the old house. ”

Mrs. Cheng wanted to refute, but Cheng Qing didn't give her a chance:

"When the family was separated, my father didn't take a penny, and left all the family property in the second room to my step-grandmother Zhu, will people be grateful to my father? No, they will only laugh at their father behind his back. Eldest sister, look at what the third uncle is wearing today, a mutton fat jade pendant hanging on his waist is worth at least one hundred and eighty taels of silver, and a jade pendant with the corner of the robe is more than all the cash in our family...... That's the family property that my father gave up back then! ”

Cheng Qing stunned the Liu family and the three sisters.

They didn't think about it from this point of view, as long as they follow Cheng Zhiyuan's will, but the people in the old house eat and drink spicy food and have endless money, and they are also the grandchildren of the second house, but they are so depressed that they need to pawn to live, and the comparison between the two sides is really sad.

Mrs. Cheng stumbled, "Xiaolang, do you want to fight for the family property with the old mansion again?" ”

Although it was unfair, it was my father who gave up back then, and now I want to fight back, Mrs. Cheng feels that the odds are not great.

Besides, what do they do to compete with the old mansion for family property, his father Cheng Zhiyuan was only a seven-pin Zhixian in front of him, and his step-grandmother's own son Cheng Zhixu was an official outside, and he had done it from the five-pin Zhizhou, and he stretched out his hand to kill their family.

Cheng Qing shook his head:

"There's no need to fight for family property, that's death. I just want to say that the silver of the old mansion is a great deal of peace of mind, which was not brought by our step-grandmother Zhu from her mother's family, but by the hard work of the ancestors of the second room! ”

If you don't spend it in vain, you don't spend it, what is two hundred taels of silver, Cheng Qing doesn't really care.

But whether it is relying on the help of the patriarch, or sending some silver to the old mansion for the sake of good face, or letting the Liu family and the three sisters pawn clothes and jewelry, these methods will not work, Cheng Qing has other plans for his future.

Liu was worried, "After receiving the money from the old mansion, there will be a reason to grind us over there." ”

Cheng Qing's face sank like water.

"Mother, you are wrong, you can't take the money, the old mansion will be looking for trouble, we can only fight, we can't be a shrinking turtle!"

- What's more, these two hundred taels of silver may be of other use.
