Chapter 38: Leave No Stone Unturned
The ancestors of this generation are very rich, the old sect master married a total of one wife, three aunts, wives and concubines can give birth, a total of four sons-in-law, five concubines, a total of nine sons.
When the family is divided, the ancestral property of the clan house and the status of the suzerain are inherited by the eldest son, and the other properties will be inherited by the remaining eight sons.
There are many sons in the sect, and most of the real estate will be distributed to the son-in-law, and when it is the turn of the concubine, there is not much property to share.
And a sandalwood coffin costs thousands of taels of silver, and the sons of the old sect master were busy fighting for the family property after the old sect master became seriously ill, so how could they be willing to buy such an expensive coffin for their father.
In the end, he spent three hundred taels of silver to buy a Nanmu coffin for the old sect master to lie in.
The old sect master regretted this until he died.
In this life, because he knew about this in advance, and he also knew that the old sect master was thinking about this sandalwood coffin, so before coming to Desheng Lane, Xi Feng secretly sent vanilla to invite the old sect master over.
She deliberately mentioned the matter of the sandalwood tree in front of the old sect master.
Sure enough, the old sect master was angry.
Really...... Everything was going according to her plan.
Since the death of Ah Gong, Cheng has been relying on the old and selling the old as his mother-in-law, suppressing the second room.
Today, she uses her own way to govern others, and uses the old sect master to suppress the Cheng family.
The sect master is also the only person in the Xi family who can suppress the Cheng family.
After Xi Feng got into trouble with Dafang, she was looking for an opportunity to let Dafang and Zongfang get together, and sure enough, this scene appeared.
Xi Feng took the opportunity to ask Dafang to return the thousands of taels of silver from the sale of sandalwood trees to the second room, and promised that as long as the big house returned the silver, her grandfather promised the sandalwood coffin to the old sect master, and their second room would still do it.
It's just that there is no silver...... Naturally, there is no sandalwood coffin.
The old sect master thought that after a hundred years, the dream of being able to lie in the sandalwood coffin was shattered.
Can the old sect master give up?
Sure enough, the old sect master was angry, "It should be repaid, not a penny less." ”
The Dafang family was suddenly anxious.
Xi Tonglin howled, "Second uncle, ...... that silver?"
"What? Do you still want to pay it back? The old sect master's eyes widened, and there was a big chance that if he didn't pay back the money, he would be expelled from the family.
Xi Tonglin was suddenly frightened.
Xi Tonglin looked at Cheng, Cheng's tears were a handful of snot, "Hey, this is going to force people to death, what silver is there, that silver has already been taken away by Xi Tongfang." ”
"Auntie, why are you talking nonsense with your eyes open? I took the money, and I can ask you a second time? Xi Tongfang was also angry about Cheng's repeated accusations, and he didn't care about any filial piety, so he argued with Cheng.
"A-Niang, that silver, I heard that the eldest brother used it to buy land, just at the foot of Phoenix Mountain, five hundred acres of land, 10,000 taels of silver, now, but it is all in the name of the eldest brother, and the old sect master sent someone to check it, and it can be found out."
There is no need to investigate, Xi Tonglin bought a large piece of high-grade fertile land at the foot of Phoenix Mountain, and the sect had already heard about it, and at that time, all the people in the sect were jealous of him.
You must know that there are many heirs in the sect, and if you divide the family and property in the future, you may not be able to get 200 acres of fertile land, but Xi Tonglin bought 500 acres of fertile land in one go.
If it weren't for the fear that outsiders would say that the sect was bullying the side branches, they would have been eager to take the 500 acres of fertile land as their own.
Now, with this opportunity to ridicule Xi Tonglin, the people of the sect naturally spare no effort.
