Chapter 42: Weeping bitterly
Jiang Tong got up early this morning in a happy mood to dress up, and the Li Mansion also started to get busy early, all preparing for the second young lady that the Li Mansion was about to have, Li Tong.
But in Master Li's study, there was a person who was crying bitterly.
Master Li looked at Jiang Wu Yongzhen, who was snot with tears in his eyes, and he didn't know how to comfort him, because he was crying so sadly.
"Woo woo woo, brother-in-law, tell me, I worked so hard to be a father and a mother to raise her, but look at her, she has only been living with you for so long before so many things happen, and she said that she will be your daughter, and she will have your surname in the future."
Master Li stretched out his two hands, wanting to go to Fujiang Wu Yong stopped again after seeing the mucus on his face, so he raised his hands so awkwardly.
"Pity me for being old and helpless, the Jiang family is actually the end of my placeβahhhh
"That, brother-in-law, although Tong'er has changed her surname, she still has the blood of the Jiang family in her body after all."
Master Li also blamed himself in his heart, after all, this Jiang Tong was indeed like Jiang Wuyong said that these things happened here after he came, and now his only daughter has to change her surname, he can't imagine how sad he will be if Han'er will do this.
"But I originally planned to find a good family to marry her when she can get married, and don't marry too far, at least I, a bad old man, can rely on her and my son-in-law in the future."
Jiang Wuyong raised his sleeves and wiped them on his face as he spoke, and Master Li couldn't help but tremble as he watched his movements.
"But now that she has come to the Li family, she and her husband will be filial to your father in the future, oops, how can I go to see her mother in the future, how can I tell her that I lost her daughter well."
When Master Li heard that this was indeed miserable, and was still thinking about whether to cancel this succession ceremony, Mother Lan next to him seemed to hear some clues, she pulled Master Li aside and said:
"Master, I think my aunt and grandfather mean it, it seems that he is afraid that he will have nothing to rely on in the future."
Jiang Wuyong stopped crying and stretched his ears to listen when he saw that Master Li was pulled over, although Lan's mother's voice was small, but the room was very quiet, and Jiang Wuyong listened to it in his ears.
After listening to Mama Lan's words, Jiang Wuyong couldn't wait to say that Mama Lan was completely on point, and when he saw the two of them looking over again, he was busy crying again.
The two whispered a few more words, and Master Li walked over a little hesitantly and said: "That, brother-in-law, if you are afraid that you will be old and have no support, then this is easy to solve, I will let Tong'er and his wife visit you often after they get married, and then give you a thousand taels of silver to go back to support the elderly, what do you think ......?" β
When Jiang Wuyong heard that there were only 1,000 taels of silver, he didn't say anything and cried even louder.
Master Li doesn't know why, isn't what Mama Lan said wrong? If Lan's mother is right, then 1,000 taels of silver is already a lot for an ordinary person, and besides, this Jiang Wuyong is now in his forties, and it is no problem to earn food by himself, and how many people have worked hard all their lives to earn 1,000 taels of silver.
Lan's mother rolled her eyes and said loudly: "Master, ah, I'm afraid that my aunt and grandfather think that five hundred taels is not enough, or give one thousand five hundred taels." β
When Jiang Wuyong heard this, his crying was half as small, Master Li was also a smart person, and he immediately understood the mystery when he heard this cry.
Otherwise, his business would not have been so successful, and the reason why he didn't think of giving money at the beginning was because he didn't expect Jiang Wuyong to do such a thing as selling women.
"Then make up a whole number, give two thousand taels, if you have more......"
"Enough, enough, enough," Jiang Wuyong was already hesitating when he heard Master Li's words, and hurriedly stopped crying and said repeatedly.
"Huh-" Master Li breathed a sigh of relief, and finally got this abrasive brother-in-law.
"Brother-in-law, since there is nothing else to do, then you should hurry back and change your clothes and prepare to visit Tong'er's succession ceremony."
Master Li took two silver tickets of one thousand taels from Lan's mother and handed them to Jiang Wuyong, sighed and said to him at the same time.
But at this time, his attitude towards Jiang Wuyong was obviously not as good as before, but there was a trace of impatience in his cordiality, and the cordiality was only based on the attitude of relatives.
"Okay, okay, I'll go."
Jiang Wuyong took the silver ticket, went to the bright place and looked at it again before he folded it carefully with confidence, and then gently put it in his arms and put it close to his body, and then replied repeatedly.
Mother Lan on the side was so disgusted that she almost rolled her eyes to the sky.
When Jiang Wuyong said goodbye from Master Li's study, Zeng Guihua greeted him at the door, and as soon as he walked to him, he went over and whispered, "How is it?" Promised? β
"I promised to promise, but I cried so hard for a long time and then I promised to give two hundred taels of silver."
Jiang Wuyong replied with a bitter face, and the smile after winning the silver ticket just now had long gone: "I haven't given these two hundred taels yet, saying that I can't give it until Tong'er gets married and we leave." β
"What?" Zeng Guihua unconsciously became louder when she heard the voice, and Jiang Wuyong hurriedly covered her mouth: "You be quiet." β
Zeng Guihua nodded hurriedly, and waited for Jiang Wuyong to let go of his hand before lowering his voice and saying, "Didn't you say that your brother-in-law is a rich man?" I think their family is also very rich, how can they give such a little? β
"Well, what's the use of having money? Haven't you heard of it? The richer the person, the more stingy he is. β
"Do you want to cry a little longer? Just tell your brother-in-law plainly that this little money is not enough at all. β
"Well, it's just been given now, let's talk about it next time I have a chance......
The two of them walked away with their heads next to each other and whispering calculations.
Jiang Tong's succession ceremony was done very seriously, but Master Li responded to Jiang Tong and Li Han's opinions, and the subordinates in the house and several masters watched the ceremony, so it was not lively.
But Jiang Tong, who should be called Li Tong now, looked proudly at the clothes and jewelry he was wearing that were similar to Li Han's, and he was also very satisfied.
After the ceremony, Master Li lectured to the subordinates who watched the ceremony, which was also what Jiang Tong secretly begged him to say, anyway, there was no harm, so he responded:
"From now on, Tong'er will officially change her name to Li Tong, and she will be the second lady of our Li Mansion in the future, you should treat her as if she were me and the eldest young master, and you must not slack off, you know?"
"Yes, sir."
Although the subordinates deserved to be submissive in their mouths, they naturally remembered the private meeting between the second lady and the foreign man, so they couldn't help but lower their heads and secretly rolled their eyes.
