Chapter 523: Xi Tonglin Released from Prison 3
When Xi Tongfang cried poorly, his eyes were moist, and he choked up, "It's not easy to know A-Niang, I also want to help you, but my son is weak, and the family has no money left." ”
To put it simply, it means not borrowing a penny.
Cheng scolded angrily, "I raised a white-eyed wolf, don't think I don't know, the incense candle shop will earn hundreds of taels of silver a month, how can there be no silver for me......"
He said angrily, "Since the coffin shop is not profitable, what are you doing with it, sell it, and pay off the debt to me with the silver." ”
"Auntie, the coffin shop can't be sold, it's Daddy who passed it to me, if I sell it, Daddy will jump out of the grave angrily to settle accounts with me, an unfilial son, besides, if it weren't for the big brother who cut down all the good wood in my family's forest village, would my coffin shop be bleak?"
Speaking of which, it's not to blame Xi Tonglin.
In fact, after his careful management for a while, the coffin shop has already changed from a loss to a profit, although he does not make much money, only ten taels of silver a month, but it adds up to a lot, and there are more than 100 taels a year, which is enough for him to buy snacks and spare money for a few children.
Cheng was angry, his mouth was crooked, "Didn't the money that sold the timber be returned to you a long time ago, what are you still mentioning it, your eldest brother is still in prison now, and you are still thinking about the little he did?" Are you still his own brother? ”
"Your conscience has been eaten by dogs?"
"Your eldest brother is in prison, something happened at home, as his father and younger brother, why don't you solve it for him, you are still Ah Lan Ayan's own uncle, you should be a pain in the pain of a few nephews and nieces, and you can't stand by like this."
Cheng's words were fierce and tearfully accused, and Xi Tongfang said that he was cold-blooded and ruthless, and the six relatives did not recognize it.
Xi Tongfang lowered his head and lowered his eyes, no matter how Cheng scolded, he refused to agree.
"A-Niang, it's not that I don't help you, I said, I have a weak heart, and there is a big family behind me to eat, if I go bankrupt to help you, then I will drink the northwest wind with a big family?"
"When the family was divided, how much silver I divided, and my mother was also clear, those silvers, over the years, bit by bit, had already been subsidized to my brother and a few sisters, and now I have no surplus silver in my hands, and I still owe debts that have not been repaid."
Xi Tongfang didn't nod and continued to cry poorly.
Cheng pointed at him angrily and scolded, "Unfilial son, I don't even care if my mother lives or dies, I want to go to the yamen to sue you, I want to see if you are not filial, how will Cheng Yuankai judge you." ”
"A-Niang, how can I be unfilial? Don't you want to slander me, every year's festival, I am less filial to you? Or are you wearing less? The dress on your body was made by the child's mother, and the hairpin on your head, didn't I buy it for you? ”
"If you want to sue me for not being filial, then you have to show real evidence."
"Just because I don't pay off the debt to the big house, you will sue me for not being filial, hehe, my eldest brother and I have already split up, how can I pay off the debt he owes? In this matter, it makes no sense for you to go to the capital to sue the emperor. ”
"What's more, the big house is not so poor that the mountains and rivers are exhausted, but there is no silver to repay the debt, but the family property is still worth more than 100,000 taels of silver, there is no reason for me to let a family property is less than the big house and share the single concubine to help pay off the debt, this matter spreads, outsiders will only say that my mother uses her generation to bully me as a poor concubine."
