Chapter 810: The Boundary Between Understanding and Confusion
Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Ji waited but did not wait for Ji Shaoqing to come back, and only after the evening did the steward come up to report: "Shaoqing was ordered to accompany Mrs. to go back to visit her mother-in-law." Because the holiday is short, I am in a hurry.
Shaoqing said that the remaining things at home are at the will of the old lady. You love to spend it, or give it away, or you spoil it, it's up to you. When will your old man care about the Tong family, when will he come back with his wife.
"If you refuse to let go, then he will directly ask for another foreign appointment, and I will not see you again. This house is in good shape, it is worth a lot of money, it is all his savings, and now it is returned to the old lady, which can be regarded as your pension. ”
Mrs. Shi was so angry that her eyes were on fire, and she pounded the bed and scolded: "Unfilial son! Disobedience! Isn't he afraid that I will go to the yamen to sue him?! ”
The steward replied very calmly: "Shaoqing said that if the old lady dislikes him for not being filial, then go to find a filial pension." He would rather resign from his official position and wander the world with his wife and children, rather than have any contact with the eldest wife of the Tong family. ”
The three generations of the Ji family have produced such a career as Ji Jun. Just because this one son is in the capital, Mrs. Shi is not in front of her children in the old mansion, and she lives comfortably.
If Ji Jun really gives up the official and doesn't do it, then Mrs. Shi needs this son even more to support her
After all, the second daughter married the Tong family, and the two concubines were married to the common people by her early on. I don't know where I'm going to go for a long time.
She only had one son left......
Mrs. Shi stared at her eyes for a long time, and then she gasped for a breath, beat her chest and cried: "This evil obstacle! This is what wants my life! ”
"How can my little uncle be so ungrateful? If it weren't for my father's help, at his young age, he would have been able to keep the family business left by his grandfather? The Ji clan has already swallowed it! Now my grandmother just wants him to find a way to save my father and find a way out for me, how can he treat my grandmother like this and my mother like this! ”
Tong Jingshu fell into Mrs. Shi's arms, crying and making trouble.
The eldest wife of the Tong family even fell on the table, crying to death.
Who knew that Old Lady Shi immediately changed her face: "Sister Jing, what do you mean?" Could it be that my Ji family owes your father? Let's get it straight. ”
As he spoke, he pushed Tong Jingshu out of his arms: "When your mother married the Tong family, how could my Ji family's property exceed 10 million?" After entrusting your father to take care of it for less than ten years, there are less than a million left. Where did all the money go? Don't look at me as a fool!
"I usually think that he is my son-in-law, half a son, so I give him some of the family property, as long as he is filial to me, it is not impossible. But if you dare to say that your uncle is only where he is today because of your father, then your Tong family is too shameless! ”
looked at the eldest lady of the Tong family with a cold face, and shouted, "Second sister, don't cry." You stand up for me, make it clear! That's how you two teach your children?! ”
Tong Jingshu was so frightened by Mrs. Shi's appearance that she couldn't cry, and looked at the eldest lady of the Tong family in a daze: "Mother, mother......"
The eldest lady of the Tong family cried aggrievedly and stood up, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and bowed her head silently.
Could it be that my grandmother is telling the truth?! My father and mother really embezzled the property of my grandfather's family!?
Tong Jingshu almost fainted: "Impossible! Chase makes so much money! ”
Mrs. Shi glared at the eldest lady of the Tong family with a gloomy face: "Don't you dare to tell Sister Jing anything?" He sneered and said, "Datong originally belonged to the Meng family, but it was your grandfather who used the next means to wronged others and took it from others!" ”
Tong Jingshu's face turned pale.
Mrs. Tong was busy wiping away her tears, and said to Mrs. Shi carefully: "Mother! This was all decades ago, what are you doing with Sister Jing? ”
"The old aunt and wife of the Tong family are my good sisters, and I know exactly how the Tong family calculates the Meng family. Having said that, if it weren't for the Tong family getting Datong, with their family's ideas, no matter how capable Sister Jing and her father were, I wouldn't marry you to him!
"It's good now, a thief who steals things everywhere, teaches my granddaughter to be a nerd, and comes to me to ask for my strength? If I don't say it, will the descendants of my Ji family be angry with the Tong family? ”
Mrs. Shi pointed to the nose of the eldest lady of the Tong family, and spread her words to the point that she could no longer penetrate: "Uncle Jing'er grew up beside your eldest sister since she was three years old, and she learned every drink, food, book, and word. His bones are so hard! Now that he hates you like this, I'm afraid that he already knows that it was your idea to send your eldest sister into the palace back then! In your life, don't expect him to be good to you.
"As for Sister Jing, you listen to me. Now, if you want to have a good way out, you must rely on your uncle. You beg him, not him. If you can't even figure out this cause and effect in your heart, then don't marry in my grandson's mansion, and if you marry in, you will only end up dying violently.
"You two mothers, don't cry in front of me. It's useless to cry. ”
Tong Jingshu was choked so that her chest was stuffy for a while, and she fell straight down as soon as it was dark in front of her.
When he woke up again, he saw that his mother had wiped away her tears and listened to her grandmother's lecture quietly and softly: "If according to what you said, it is the imperial court that wants to rob Datong of business to do it by itself." It's unreasonable, but it can't be helped.
"What's more, the Tong family is not as good as the next generation, and they won't spend it if they have more money, and sooner or later there will be a big mess. Now it's just a business, and it's not fatal! Not bad......"
Tong Jingshu heard the sadness coming from it, and couldn't help crying again: "Grandmother, do we deserve it?!" ”
The eldest lady of the Tong family hurriedly stepped forward to help Tong Jingshu up, wiped her tears, and gently persuaded: "Sister Jing, you are still young, you don't care about the affairs of adults." Now we all listen to your grandmother. She loves you the most since she was a child, you have to believe in your grandmother. ”
Tong Jingshu opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but her mother pinched her back heavily, so she had to bite her lip and lower her head and apologize to Mrs. Shi: "My granddaughter is ignorant, I contradict my grandmother, and I beg my grandmother for forgiveness." ”
Mrs. Shi nodded with satisfaction: "That's right." ”
"What is Mother going to do for us?" The eldest wife of the Tong family is respectful.
Old Lady Shi pondered for a moment and said decisively: "At this time, Tong Da will definitely refuse to reconcile with you. But their house is a quagmire now, and you and Sister Jing can't be trapped in it anymore. I've only entered Beijing today, so I'll go out if it's not good. You're here with me. In two days, I will go to Tong's house. 2k reading network
