Chapter 13: The Xi Family

Grandma Cheng is not Daddy's mother, Daddy is a concubine, born to Aunt Lu, Lu gave birth to Daddy five years later, and was pregnant with another child, but this fetus was not saved, Cheng's miscarriage was harmed, and the body was injured, and the body has not been able to recuperate, and he was sick, and he was dragged to the age of sixteen when Daddy was sixteen years old, and he died of illness.

As soon as the Lu family died, the grandfather who loved the Lu family deeply was also depressed, and within a few years, he also fell ill, and in the year of Xi Feng's little brother was born, the grandfather also died.

Ah Gong knew that the Cheng family treated the family of five in the second room, and before he died, he called the patriarch and the clan elders over, and divided the family in front of the clan elders and clan elders.

Before his death, Ah Gong divided the family, and he was also afraid that the Cheng family and the eldest son's family would bully the younger son after his death, and he was afraid that the Cheng family and the eldest son would monopolize the family property and the younger son's family would suffer.

The Xi family is in Hangzhou City, and it is also a big family, and there are many people in the clan, but Xi Feng's grandfather is just a side branch of the Xi family who is about to get out of the five suits, so there is not much property.

The 500 acres of fields are all high-quality paddy fields.

Three small villages: a tea house, an orchard, and a forest.

Six shops: two grain and oil shops, a tea shop, a grocery store, a coffin shop, and an incense and candle shop.

Then there is a large courtyard with three entrances where I live now, and the six thousand taels of silver that Ah Gong has earned back through his hard work over the years.

When the family was separated, Ah Gong said that the wood used to make the coffin in the coffin shop was cut from the forest Zhuangzi, and part of the spices in the incense and candle shop were made of sandalwood trees on the forest Zhuangzi, so the coffin shop and the forest Zhuangzi and the incense and candle shop should not be separated.

Tea houses and tea shops shall not be separated,

These industries, some of them were handed down from their ancestors, and some of them were purchased by Ah Gong later, Ah Gong said that Xi Tonglin was his son-in-law, and let him pick it first, Xi Tonglin unceremoniously picked the grain and oil store, grocery store, tea shop, orchard, and tea house that made money, and the rest of the coffin shop, incense and candle shop and Lin Muzhuang were given to Xi Tongfang.

The sister-in-law and the concubine are separated, and the sister-in-law Xi Tonglin is the eldest son, and he has to share more than half of the family property, 350 acres of paddy fields, an orchard Zhuangzi, a tea house, two grain and oil stores, a grocery store, and a tea shop.

Daddy Xi is a concubine on the same side, and he only gets a small village in the mountains and forests, a coffin shop, an incense and candle shop, and one hundred and fifty acres of paddy fields.

Three into the big yard, should be assigned to the sister-in-law to live, not to mention that the grandmother Cheng is not dead, the Cheng family also has to live, the second room has no house, the grandfather asked the clan elder to help, spent 1,600 taels of silver, not far from the Xi family to buy a small courtyard in the second room, for the second room family to live.

The remaining 4,400 taels of silver, 500 taels were left for Cheng's pension, 200 taels were given to Ah Gong's funeral, and the rest, 800 taels were divided into the second room, and 2,900 taels were allocated to the large house.

As for Cheng's grandmother's private house, which has been privately swallowed by the family over the years, Ah Gong knew it in his heart, but when he split the family, he didn't mention it.

Ah Gong knows Cheng's temperament very well, and he doesn't dare to give more property to the second room, if he is more, when he dies, Cheng will not let go of the second room, and give less to the second room, maybe Cheng's can also spare the people in the second room, so the property shared by the second room is only enough for the family in the second room to have food and clothing, so that they will not go hungry.

But Ah Gong would never have thought that the Cheng family and the people in Dafang would be even more shameless and vicious than he knew.
