Chapter Ninety-Eight: Justification
Therefore, the reason why He Lao Er came back to participate in this family separation ceremony was only for this hundred taels of silver.
At the beginning, for the sake of two hundred taels, he could ruthlessly send Qibao into the palace as a little eunuch, let alone the one hundred taels he got for nothing.
He Laosan's hand hidden under his sleeve trembled slightly, and he looked at He Laosan with a white face, and then went to see Old Man He again.
Mrs. He had already rushed to say: "Third child, I don't want more from you, according to what your father said, the things in the house are divided into five, and your silver is also divided into five parts, take one share for yourself, and hand over the remaining four shares." ”
He Zao almost laughed angrily.
Four parts, that's a full eighty taels.
Mrs. He, she really dared to ask for it.
She looked at He Lao Er and Aunt He's expressions, they were all calm, obviously they had already discussed it in private, He Zao sneered, she can not care about anything else, the He family's guys, the He family's property, she really didn't look at it, but whoever wants to move this hundred taels of silver, she will fight with whom!
Fortunately, the old man He was not confused to the end, and looked at the second child of He coldly: "I just divided the family, I didn't mention the matter of dividing the silver, which naturally has the reason why the four treasures they earn silver, and also the third and third daughter-in-law are generous and honest, and did not mention this stubble, now since you have mentioned it, then, let's first put away the cages at home and in your town, and see how much silver it is, and then divide it according to five parts, and then talk about how many babies earn money after the division!" ”
The words were speechless.
He wiped the sweat on his forehead, and was about to refute, because he was too anxious, and the green tendons on his forehead were rising: "Dad, you can't say that, we are working hard in the town, and our mother is frugal to live, and the little money we saved is not enough......"
"Isn't that enough? You live frugally, you think that the money of the third family is blown by the wind, and it is also earned by the hard work of a few children! Old Man He's tone was flat, but the strength in it did not tolerate doubts: "If you want to divide the silver, you can divide it all together, or don't fight the idea of a few babies' pocket money!" ”
One hundred taels of silver pocket money, when did Lao He's family become so rich.
He Lao Er was quite dissatisfied.
He Laosan finally spoke slowly, his hands clenched into fists under him, as if to cheer himself up, opened his mouth, and said very nervously: "Second, second brother, that silver was originally promised by my father to be used for the four treasures and seven treasures to study, and no one can use it!" ”
He stumbled over it, and even his face turned red when he said the last few words.
But with such a temperament, being able to say this sentence is a rare progress.
He Laosan looked at him in surprise, as if he had never known him.
"Do you want to study for the Four Treasures and Seven Treasures when you start a family?" Lu Hongsheng suddenly asked with interest: "This is a good thing, brother, the third child of your family is ambitious." ”
Old Man He smiled, and looked at He Laosan's gaze as if he was also gratified: "Yes, the third is the most sincere." ”
"I think, the third child of your family will definitely be a good family, brother, you shouldn't worry about him anymore."
Lu Hongsheng laughed.
Old Man He also nodded.
"Then let's make a note." Lu Hongsheng said.
Old Man He immediately asked Dabao to prepare pen and ink, Dabao glanced at Aunt He, and then stood up and went slowly.
He Lao Er wanted to say something, but Liu ripped off the hem of his clothes and motioned to him the faces of those old men.
He Lao Er looked over one by one and found that they all seemed to be avoiding his gaze, gathering together and whispering.
He was shocked, and then he thought about what he had done today, and what he said seemed to be a little too impatient!
He is going to follow the path of the imperial examination, and his requirements for his own character are stricter, and he was originally very good at covering it up outside, but this time he was too impulsive to expose his stuffing.
The few people here are all highly respected people in the village, and any gossip is enough to knock him into the abyss!
A few drops of cold sweat broke out on He Laoer's forehead, he pursed his lips and didn't say anything more.
Without a leader, Aunt He and Ma did not speak again, and the matter was settled.
In duplicate, let Mr. He and Mr. He draw a pledge, and the notary will sign again, and it will be.
Mrs. He turned her head to look at He Lao Er, then at Aunt He, and finally at Chen, who was a transparent person, and her chest was so angry that her chest fluctuated, she was really unwilling to share the finances of the third room, but no one supported her, and Mrs. He was just a paper tiger.
After the deed of separation was written, He Lao Er gave Aunt He a look, and the latter frowned.
But she still spoke, her tone was slow and reasonable, and she listened very calmly and patiently: "The matter of the separation of the family has been said, so let's talk about Dabao now......"
Da Baoma answered: "Yes, let's go through the motions today, and I will be surnamed Cui in the future." ”
Both He Laosan and Chen looked up at him, their expressions of obvious disappointment.
Lu Hongsheng first twisted his brows: "This is the housework of the He family, don't talk too much when you get married." ”
In the past, he saw Aunt He as a good person, wholeheartedly helping his mother's family, and his reputation in her husband's family was also very good, but after hearing that Dabao was going to take the initiative to succeed her family, his opinion of Aunt He changed completely, and he always felt that her previous good was all pretended, in order to get close to Dabao and bewitch Dabao.
Thinking about the past few years, Dabao's attitude towards the He family has become more and more cold, and he is more sure of the role played by Aunt He!
The old man of the Lu family also sighed: "He Li'er, I watched you grow up, you have been smart and clever since you were a child, and you can surpass your fourth brother and brother, but this smart energy can't be used on your own family, your brother's boss, you can't bear to watch his father and son separate?" This person's heart is full of flesh, what you did today, it's not authentic, it's not authentic! ”
The other two looked at her with a hint of disapproval.
Aunt He was slightly surprised, and hurriedly defended: "No...... I...... I never thought of snatching the treasure...... The third child! She looked at He Laosan: "You have to believe me in this matter, if it weren't for Dabao's deep prejudice against you, if you really broke away from your house, and there was no place to go, I wouldn't have responded!" ”
As she spoke, she wiped away her tears and choked up: "Dabao has lived in my house since he was a child, and I treat him like my own son, but I never thought of succeeding him...... I'm really not angry, and I haven't given birth to a son for the old Cui family...... Third brother, your eldest brother-in-law doesn't look like anything on his face, but he must be annoyed by my ...... in his heart."
Her face is already old, and this cry is more like an old woman with a sad face, and she looks very pitiful.
"So, you just pinch Dabao......" He Laosan also asked in a dumb voice, his eyes red.
In his heart, he really annoyed Aunt He, but he was always honest and refused to say it.
When Aunt He saw his appearance, she was stunned, but she was stuck.
