Chapter 42: Sit Down and Settle the Score (2)
Qiu Shi waved his hand again and again, "Don't look at me, those things are not divided by the female dependents, they are all divided by the sons and grandchildren, that is, Qi Shan has divided some jewelry and clothing, she wants to replace you, every time I go to see the people of the Bai family, I always have to wear some on my body, other things, anyway, my daughter and I didn't hold it, my son divided it was all ornaments, and it was taken by your father when he turned his hand." ”
"You are the wife of the master, and the things you have not shared have fallen into your hands?"
Qiu's face changed.
"Not only is your position as the wife of the head of the family unstable, but in the husband's heart, your wife's status is not very good." Qi Ke stabbed Qiu in the heart sharply.
Qiu clenched his fists, secretly telling himself not to be provoked, but really...... It's so angry!
"Since everything has been divided into different rooms, I can't catch it back if I think about it, so let's also discount it." Qi Ke no longer paid attention to Qiu, turned his head and said to the account room.
The account room had a bitter face, "Miss, I'm afraid I don't have so much money in the account." ”
"No money? The family property that my mother earned before her death has been lost in the past few years? ”
"The four rooms are only in and out, the small one has read the account book, the former lady is still earning more, after her death, the income of various industries has been declining year by year, especially the harvest on the Zhuangzi due to natural disasters year by year, the business of the shop in the city has also been greatly affected, people like us with shallow roots should have shallow expenses to live thriftily, but there are so many masters in the family who do not want to reduce their share, but the expenses are getting bigger and bigger, and now it is already beyond their means."
"Oh, this house was bought by my mother's money, you all know, only the eldest master is studying in the four rooms of the entire Qi family, and the other three masters have their own names written in the wrong way, all of them are mud legs that are shaved in the ground, holding the thighs of the eldest brother This is the only time to go to the capital to be a city person, but in fact, they have no knowledge and skills to make a living in the city, and now the year is not good, and they can't go in and out to earn money for the family, and there is no need to support them in the long house. Butler, you gather people, while they are all in the courtyard now, all of them are under control and drive out directly, except for the things they already have, they are not allowed to pack up their luggage and take away a stitch from the house, and confiscate all the things in the three rooms into the public school. ”
"Huh?! This won't work! Driving away his own brother is an obstacle to the official reputation of the eldest master! The housekeeper and the bookkeeper were startled and waved their hands together.
"No! Your father is still an official, you can't drive them away so roughly! Qiu couldn't help but stand up, "Even if you want to do this, you have to go through the motions of splitting up, and you can't let your father leave a handle to be blamed." ”
"It's a nuisance." Qi Ke waved his hand lazily, "Then call someone to tie them up and gag them, you think about the reason for the separation, anyway, take back the property of the three rooms first, and you have children and daughters without earning a penny and raising them in the public, gnawing on the old and gnawing on this, don't be ashamed." ”
The housekeeper said yes again and again, and went out to command.
Immediately, the yard was filled with the sound of scolding and crying fathers and mothers, and the three pairs of uncles and aunts were first tied up with ropes by the subordinates, and the children they brought were also blocked in the yard to prevent them from escaping, and some people went to their houses to find smaller children, all of whom had to be controlled.
In the midst of screaming and scolding, a girl broke through the defense of the subordinates and rushed into the upper room, raising her hand and throwing stones at Qi Ke.
