Chapter 33: Dowry
"Dad, don't be sad, you always complain about your son's maintenance of the play, don't hide it from you, the bitter meat plan is this, and your son has seen too much. The actors in the theater are so much better than you."
Shi Boyuan had no intention of wiping away his tears, letting the tears flow down, he couldn't bear to blame the children for being a loser, but the children laughed at themselves for making a show for them. God, it's just a reversal of ethics and impermanence, how did you fall into this position? With a desperate hatred for his son, the old man said with tears: "Beast, you are really a living beast. ”
The second young master next to him saw the eldest brother and was so disrespectful to his father, he grabbed the eldest young master's collar, the eldest young master pushed it backhanded, and hit the second young master in the face, the second young master took a mouth, and continued to twist the eldest brother. The two young masters hugged each other and punched and kicked, so anxious that Mrs. Shi left Wanting and hurried over to persuade her.
Finally pulled the two brothers apart, Shi Boyuan sat on the chair in a daze with a look of dead tears, only to watch the two sons tearing and beating on the ground. Wanting was so frightened that she cried on the side. Mrs. Shi also kept crying secretly, shouting for several younger brothers to come and persuade her. A few people couldn't help but pull the two apart.
The eldest young master wiped the blood bruises from the corners of his mouth and said fiercely: "Okay, your family, bully me, a motherless child." ”
"Shut up." Shi Boyuan said weakly.
"Shut up? Wowhaha...... Daddy, are you afraid of being embarrassed? ”
"Lao Tzu told you to shut up for me."
"Lao Tzu? What do you look like a daddy? I lost my mother when I was five years old, and you immediately straightened her up. As the saying goes, 'If there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather', which is really true. I am the eldest son of a long house, but I am not as expensive as an aunt and grandmother. Who knows the hatred in my heart......"
"No one has treated you badly in the past few years, it's because you don't grow up and practice yourself." The second young master said while holding his chest.
"You look for death, see if I don't kill you." The eldest young master rushed towards the second young master in a rage, and stretched out his hand to punch the second young master in the face. Turning his head to his father, he roared, "No one owes me all these years? Do you dare to say this to my dead mother? Daddy, do you dare? ”
The younger brothers hurriedly grabbed the eldest brother and did not dare to say a word. The second young master was not afraid, grabbed the collar of the eldest young master, and stretched out his hand to punch it. Helplessly, the eldest young master was tied in the crook of his arm by the second young master's younger brother, struggling and unable to fight back.
"You are dead, mother, no one owes you. Why do you think that everyone owes you, you have been letting you up and down for the past few years, even my mother has complimented you, for fear that you will be wronged, is this how you repay her? ”
"Your mother? She deserves it too? She turned out to be an aunt's wife, not even half a master, why should I repay her? ”
Shi Boyuan's eyes were glazed, he only looked at this spoiled eldest son, and complained to himself over and over again, if he hadn't spoiled this child back then, he wouldn't have made him such a disloyal, unfilial, unprofessional, and unmotivated scourge today. It's just because he feels sorry that he has no mother, so he blocks all the wind and rain for him. I didn't expect to hurt not only him, but also myself, and blamed myself. Thinking of this, the corners of his dry eyes were filled with tears falling down one after another. The eldest son was also a decent child when he was young, and he was reluctant to beat and scold and discipline him when he made small mistakes, but now he has a family, and now he wants to discipline, but he has no strength. When I was a child, I was reluctant to beat him, but now I want to fight but I can't do it, even if I can beat him, I can't beat him.
"Don't be rude to your wife." Shi Boyuan's heart tossed and turned thousands of times, and he was ruthless ten thousand times, and finally persuaded this uncompetitive son.
The eldest young master did not feel a trace of guilt for Shi Boyuan's tears. He felt in his heart that his father owed him something that could not be made up for in this life, if his father was widowed for a lifetime, maybe he could still be a son of a loving father and a filial son, but as soon as his mother died, his father straightened out his second aunt, looking at their family's affection, love and beauty, he had already become a devil.
"Madam, she will be a filler until she dies, and my mother is the lady in the lord's mansion."
Mrs. Shi Boyuan hugged Wanting and sobbed lowly. This is a child she raised single-handedly, and saying such words hurts more than cutting meat.
"Shao Nan, it's not that Daddy has to beat you up with Wanting, our house has now reduced its use." At this point, Shi Boyuan still didn't want to complain about his uncompetitive son, especially when he mentioned his deceased wife, thinking of his wife's painstaking instructions before she died, he refused to close his eyes for a long time. Put away the anger just now, let go of the anger, and said to Yan.
"What about you, don't pretend to be poor with me, let alone act with me, I know that my expenses are a little bigger on weekdays, but my mother is a young lady in the Guogong Mansion, and she also brought a dowry to our family back then. I eat all my mother's. So today's bitter trick is useless to me, and I don't eat it. ”
"You, how can you say such a thing?" Shi Boyuan leaned on the side of the table, almost fainting.
"Big brother, since you said so, my brother will settle an account with you today, and look at our Hou Ye Mansion, how many years can it last according to your flower method?"
"Second brother, if you don't come with me like this, I don't believe a word of what you say, if I take one less, you will have more. Do you think I'm stupid? My uncle and mother told me that my mother's dowry was at least a million. You are poor, that's your business, I just want my mother's dowry. I only eat my mother's. ”
Shi Boyuan has always thought that his son has been against himself in recent years, spending money lavishly, and his son has grown up rebellious, but he didn't expect such a big heart to be knotted in his son's heart, wiped a handful of tears and said: "Shao Nan, Daddy knows that you are depressed, Daddy has been negligent all these years, I don't know where you are depressed?" If you want to know this, Daddy will simply explain it to you. ”
The second young master saw that Shi Boyuan was already weak, so he hurriedly stepped forward to support Shi Boyuan, poured tea again, and brought it to Shi Boyuan and said, "Daddy, you take a sip of tea, and go well." ”
Shi Shao Nan saw that the second brother was really attentive, rolled his eyes, and waited for his father to explain the whereabouts of his mother's dowry.
"Shao Nan, Daddy can't say that your mother's dowry is not a million."
When Shi Shaonan heard this, there was a light in his eyes, and he turned his body to Shi Boyuan, no longer turning his back on his father.
"The gift list is still in the treasury at home, if you don't believe what Daddy said today, this is the key to the warehouse, you can check it yourself." Shi Boyuan said, took out a bunch of silver keys from his waist, held them and handed them to Shi Shao Nan.
Shi Shao Nan took the key four, and his two eyes couldn't believe that all this in front of him was true. My father, who has been extremely stingy with himself in the past few years, actually gave himself the key to the treasury!
"In your grandfather's house, the dowry was roughly head jewelry, clothes for the four seasons, antique objects, precious medicinal materials, and thousands of acres of fertile land in the suburbs of Beijing and Henan and Hebei. At that time, it was worth about a million dollars of silver. ”
Shi Boyuan said this with a faint breath, Mrs. Shi didn't say a word, and stood silently aside with her arms around Wanting, and the second young master also used his hand to gently straighten out his father's breath behind Shi Boyuan.
