Seeing Xia Zhengshen's expression, Xia Zhenghao's heart suddenly cooled in half.

He also thought that his sister-in-law had done it without telling his eldest brother. But I don't want to see it like this, but the eldest brother actually knows. Now that I know, needless to say, this matter must have been instructed by the eldest brother. Otherwise, according to the eldest brother's money-loving temperament, he still hasn't made a big deal with his sister-in-law, and everyone knows it?

The husband and wife were in charge of the house, but they kept their private property outside......

Thinking about it, Xia Zhenghao couldn't help but feel chills in his heart.

Xia Zhenghao still wanted to ask again in private, don't let the third brother see the joke, but the second wife didn't do it. Her face had been cut by the eldest lady with her long nails, and she was still oozing blood. I don't know if it will break the phase and leave a scar.

She hated in her heart, and shouted in her mouth regardless of it: "Big brother, don't talk nonsense anymore." Who doesn't know about you and your sister-in-law buying private property outside? The name of your brother-in-law was written on the surface of the field, but he gave you an IOU and asked Master Li from the front street to be a middleman. Everyone spread the word, and we were still fools as a couple, and you kept it in the dark. ”

She knelt down in front of the old lady and said with a crying voice: "Mother, you want to be our master!" The property in this house is public. Now the eldest brother is secretly transferring out and buying private property outside, this is to encroach on all the family property! Mother, you are still alive, big brother is like this; If one day you are gone, he will not have to kick our family out and starve to death on the streets! Mother, Zhenghao is your own son, do you just watch your son and grandson starve to death? You have to call the shots for us! ”

said. She crawled on the ground and cried.

"You...... You ......" The old lady pointed at Xia Zhengshen and then at the second wife, and was so angry that she couldn't speak for a while.

The eldest son is selfish and greedy for money. The second son chose to be at this time, and it was also very angry to expose the ugliness of his family in front of Xia Zhengqian. All of them are unfilial sons.

The eldest lady couldn't hide it, and even the Chinese who testified knew about it, so she simply tore her face and made a big fuss.

She folded her sleeves and crossed her waist, and said confidently: "Mother, don't blame us for buying private property, you think about the second brother over the years." How much money did it cost the family? Not to mention the maids in his house to be concubines, it doesn't cost much. But what about the outside? The year before last, he took the daughter of the Zhang family on Front Street as a concubine. The dowry alone went to fifty taels of silver; Last year, the little daughter of Wang Laosan's family privately repaid Wang Laosan's gambling debts of 80 taels.

That's not all. They have the largest population in the second room, and each aunt has to spend more than a dozen taels of silver every month. Do you have to make jewelry and cut new clothes for your aunts every year? That's it, and I keep carrying new people to my family. We are not a family fortune, and the second brother is not engaged in production, where can we afford to spend money like flowing water?

In addition to these, what month does the second brother not go out to participate in the poetry party? This time it is a dozen or twenty taels of silver. Where did the money come from? Isn't it true that he worked hard in the hospital every day to earn a penny and earn it back? Zhengshen was busy in the hospital, and I was working hard at home to take care of the housework, racking my brains to calculate how to break the penny in half and spend it. But what about them? Sit back and enjoy it!

How many times have we told you about this, second brother? But you want to protect it, and when he begs, you agree to anything. We don't want to buy some private property. The money in this family is about to be lost by the second brother.

We have worked hard all our lives, but in the end we end up destitute, can we be reconciled? Now it's just a matter of buying a few acres of land, and some people are staring at it, making a lot of noise and shouting about injustice. That's when we think it's unfair. I can't live this day. Otherwise, send the second brother's concubines out of the house, and don't spend money indiscriminately in the future; Or we'll split up! ”

The big lady's voice was loud. Especially the two words "separation" at the end, which are even more round and jade, and they are extremely clear.

"Divide the family, split the family!" Xia Zhenghao was furious, "Embezzling family property, but also vibrating words, stirring up nonsense, and pulling around, it's unreasonable." What's wrong with my concubine? Do you understand talented and beautiful women? Reader, which one is not a beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes, suave and suave? Why is it so cheesy in your mouth? Even if there are some expenses, it is allowed by my father and mother, and it is not to spend your money, why are you in a hurry? ”

"Besides......" he gasped and continued, "I spent this money not in vain. If it weren't for the fact that I had traveled extensively and met many nobles, how could I have paid so much in taxes and miscellaneous taxes? How can you avoid the Xia family when you come to find trouble and knock on the bamboo? Do you calculate how much money you can save in a year?

But you, one outside, the other inside, I don't know how much silver you have pulled into your pockets, and the private property you have put outside is only a small part of what you have embezzled, right? Don't think I'm stupid to read, I don't know what you do. ”

Speaking of this, his face was full of impatience, and he waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't talk nonsense, let's split up!" It's good to divide early, so as not to be emptied by you, and in the end there is only an empty shell! ”

With a "clang", a teacup fell to the ground with a crisp sound. Only then did the red-faced and thick-necked people turn their heads and look at the old lady.

And the old lady was sitting there at this time, panting heavily. Seeing that everyone was coming, she beat her chest and shouted: "Don't divide it, I'm not dead yet, old lady." Don't divide it, don't hear it, don't divide it......"

"Mother!" Xia Zhengshen and Xia Zhenghao spoke at the same time.

Hearing each other's call, they both glanced at each other, and then turned away at the same time in hatred. Xia Zhenghao snorted lightly in his nose.

Xia Zhengshen spoke first: "Mother, if you don't split up, you really can't live this life." I go out early and return late every day, working hard to earn money to support my family, but my second brother spends all day drinking and spending money constantly. I didn't make enough money for him to spend. He went to the provincial capital once last month, and this month he participated in two poetry meetings in the city, and spent more than 30 taels of silver in 30 or 40 days. And that's not even counting the cost of his house in the house. Over the course of a year, how much do you calculate how much he has to spend?

Since the third brother left, the business has not been as good as before, and after removing the monthly money for Lang Zhong and the guys, he only earned twenty-seven taels last month. If we continue like this, we will see that our family is about to end. Anyway, I don't want to live like this anymore. Separated, out of sight and out of mind, he spent all the family's money overnight, and that's none of my business. ”

Before Xia Zhengshen finished speaking, Xia Zhenghao said angrily: "There will be a lot of poems in spring, so the cost is bigger." Even if it costs more than thirty taels, what? Last month, my sister-in-law gave her more than 30 taels of silver jewelry, not to mention the gold hairpin she wore on her head, which weighed three or four taels. So how do you calculate the money? ”

“……”

Two brothers, you settle an account for me, and I will calculate an account for you, just back and forth, arguing a lot.

Xia Zhengqian was stunned when he heard it next to him.

In the past, Xia Zhengshen always said that the house was poor and the cost was large, so in addition to the fixed monthly silver, Shu's went back to his parents' house to buy two boxes of snacks, and he had to pay for it himself, not to mention the cost of clothing all year round.

Xia Zhengqian himself has no free days throughout the year, and he is busy treating people outside all day long; And Shu's only wants a stable life, as long as the old lady doesn't look for her stubble in three days, she is willing to eat bran vegetables. So the couple didn't care about the expenses of the house at all, as long as they didn't go hungry. Sometimes I think about it in my mind occasionally, and I think that Xia Zheng is cautious and careful in his calculations, and he just buys property for his family, and he doesn't think much about it.

But I don't want these two brothers, one spends money like running water, and a month's expenses are worth the cost of three rooms for a year; The other, like a mouse, kept pulling money into his pocket.

"Don't argue, stop arguing, shut up." The old lady shouted, "If you don't want to see me die, don't talk about the separation." ”

didn't want Xia Zhengshen and Xia Zhenghao to have a deep grudge, and they were deeply dissatisfied with each other. And the eldest wife and the second wife have not looked at each other well since the day they entered the door. If the two of them don't talk to each other, it won't be over. Since this contradiction has been opened, it is impossible to stop it at all. Xia Zhengshen and Xia Zhenghao brothers were arguing over there, and the eldest wife and the second wife were arguing here, until the sky was dark, and the sound was so loud that they were about to lift the roof.

"Let's go." Seeing this, Xia Zhengqian really didn't want to stay here, and whispered to Xia Qi.

"Don't." Xia Qi grabbed his father, "If the eldest uncle and the second uncle are really separated, we must be present." They divided the property, and it made no sense that we didn't have a penny, and we still owed three hundred taels of silver. It's okay to owe three hundred taels of silver, maybe the money to support the old wife will be called out in the future, and all the responsibilities will be pushed to us, we can't suffer this dumb loss. ”

Xia Zhengqian didn't care about the three hundred taels of silver, but Xia Qi's later words made him feel a pang in his heart. He endured the old lady's rubbing, and earned a lot of property for the Xia family, but he didn't get a penny of the Xia family's property, but asked him to take the old lady home to support him!

The life of an old lady is hell on earth.

He had to be patient and wait for the two couples to finish arguing.

"Ouch, ouch......" The old lady suddenly held her heart, frowned and called, and gave her mother-in-law a look while shouting.

The mother-in-law has been with the old lady all the year round, and she understands the old lady's mind best. Immediately pounced on the old lady and screamed: "Old lady, old lady, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you? ”

This voice was extremely penetrating, and instantly covered the quarrel of the four people. It's only bitter for the old lady, and there is nothing uncomfortable in the body, but at this time, the magic sound pierces the ears, which is called an uncomfortable.

Xia Zhengshen and Xia Zhenghao turned their heads to see the old lady frowning and puffing their hearts, looking uncomfortable, and hurriedly gathered around her: "Mother, mother, are you okay?" ”

"Ouch, my heart hurts." The old lady was very proud of this trick, and she was very proud in her heart, holding Xia Zhengshen and Xia Zhenghao's hands with her dying, and struggled, "You are brothers, you should support each other, why bother to break up the family for a little money......"

Xia Zhengshen and Xia Zhenghao glanced at each other at the same time, and said in unison: "We must separate!" (To be continued)
