Chapter 165: Bloodline
"Remember when I asked your father to go to the Lin family to seal your aunt's dowry?" Ou Mengmeng really doesn't have any feelings for Shi Xiangyun. But looking at Jia's mother's memory, she gently knocked on the table top of the kang table.
"Yes, it's just different. is still like that, even if people go to seal the private property of the eldest cousin and his wife as Xiangyun's dowry, then the second cousin is still the master of the house after all? They didn't abuse Xiangyun either, saying that the family was difficult, and it was also a woman's duty to let the girl learn some female work, and if it really broke out, what should the reputation of the Shi family do?"
Yuan Chun breathed a sigh of relief, and the old lady didn't want to take it, so it was easy to do. But immediately I felt that the old lady's idea was not working.
Ou Mengmeng means that Xiangyun is the daughter of the Hou Mansion, but because her parents died early, the Hou Mansion is in charge of the second room. This is allowed by the etiquette, and it is not considered a dove occupying the magpie's nest. But it is time to take out the original private property of the big house and seal it up as Xiangyun's dowry.
In fact, the dowry is small, the same as what the old lady did at the beginning, in fact, it is to let Daiyu know that your mother's ten miles of red makeup is enough to make you worthy of anyone, you are a girl with a dowry, you don't have to look at anyone's face. At this time, the old lady said this, also to let Xiangyun know that you are the concubine of the Hou Mansion, and your identity is more valuable than others. You didn't live at your aunt's house and ask her to take out the money from the eldest girl. Sometimes, there is nothing wrong with the fact that property is the foundation.
But now they want a big house and private property, which is no different from separating the family, what does this make Shi Nai and his wife think? spread out, that is, they abused Xiangyun, in fact, they tore their faces, which was not good for everyone, and the one who was hurt the most was actually Shi Xiangyun.
"Let your uncle go and invite Shi Ding." Ou Mengmeng thought for a while, shook her head gently, and said hurriedly.
"It's in the next room, can he take care of the affairs of his second cousin's family?" Shi Ding's father is the third brother of Jia's mother, and Shi Nai's father is the second brother of Jia's mother. The two are just cousins, so how did the matter of Shi Nai's inner house come to Shi Ding.
"Just call it." Ou Mengmeng patted Yuan Chun and leaned on himself.
Yuan Chun asked someone to invite, sat back next to the old lady, and hammered her legs, these days she often said that she went back again, so she hammered her legs when she was free to make her comfortable.
"Oh, Lai Shangrong has returned the corrupt family property. Uncle and Brother Zhen made a total amount of the annual income that should have been given to Mama Lai, Lai Da, and Lai Er, and Lai Da gave Lai Da and his wife, and Lai Er's to Lai Er's wife. Mama Lai betrayed the master, and her income was not in the house. The rest is the proceeds of corruption, and the two governments will divide it equally." Yuan Chun chatted casually.
"I don't care about this, these things, your uncle and Brother Zhen will do." Ou Mengmeng closed her eyes, she was only responsible for the layout, and for other things, she believed that Jia Yu and them could do better than her. After all, they are indigenous, and when they operate, they are better than themselves.
"So at that time, only Mama Lai was sent to the official, in fact, did you know that she would kill herself?" Yuan Chun remembered something and looked at Ou Mengmeng.
"Why do you think so?" Ou Mengmeng did not answer positively.
"I think you seem to have thought about it, at that time I thought you were wrong to send Mama Lai to the official, Mama Lai has been with you all your life, to say something unpleasant, even if she lies, people will think it is true, this kind of old slave, sending the official, is like sending a handle." Yuan Chun sighed lightly.
She has been a slave, and it is actually quite difficult to be a slave. If you don't be a henchman, you have no future, but if you are a henchman, you don't have freedom, and what you wait for is a dead end.
Like Mama Lai, she is a typical slave bully. If the old man is here, they don't dare. It's just that the Jia family was defeated, and even Yuan Chun didn't dare to do it. The loophole is too big, and the Jia family does not have greater resources to operate in the government.
"Then you won't stop me?" Ou Mengmeng smiled and asked rhetorically.
"I want to know what you think." Yuan Chun was a kind of blind trust at that time, although he was afraid, but he wanted to know what the old lady thought.
"You know that there is a rule in the tomb robbery business that is usually passed down from father to son, and the son is under the pit and the father is on the pit. Do you know why?"
"What?"
"When you go to rob the tomb, father and son go together, one of them should stay above and watch the wind and answer, and the other should take things under the pit. At this time, the rule is that the Father is outside and the Son is inside. Do you know why?" Ou Mengmeng explained again,
These aristocratic ladies probably haven't seen tomb robbing.
"Tiger poison doesn't eat children?" Yuan Chun just vaguely guessed.
"Think about it the other way, if there is danger, the father will not abandon the son, but the son is not. Therefore when the father is away, the father will pull the son out when something happens; But when the son is away and in danger, the son will leave the father behind." Ou Mengmeng pursed her lips and smiled.
Yuan Chun was stunned for a moment, and the more he pondered, the more interesting it became. Think about it, "So you sent Mama Lai to the government alone, but to lock Lai Da and Lai Er in the mansion is to let Mama Lai think clearly, her children and grandchildren are in our hands."
"When there was a fire, the couple was holding their young children, and only one person could walk through the survival passage at a time, guess what order?" Ou Mengmeng sighed and asked another question.
"Say it anyway!" Yuan Chun is a bit ruined.
"Mother, child, father. Because the mother will definitely catch the child, and let the father go first, he will catch the child at most. Most of them will run away on their own, not even their children."
"You just said that fathers wouldn't leave their children behind."
"I mean, they don't leave their adult children behind, but the children abandon their fathers when they are young. It's a matter of strength. When the child was young, the father was also young, and felt that the wife could remarry and the child could be reborn; But the son who can follow his father to rob the tomb is an adult, and he can help, and he has no strength to regenerate and teach, so he wants to save himself. But mothers, whether they are adults or children, are all flesh that falls from their own bodies, and when the child is in the womb, it is already connected to the mother's blood, and no matter how selfish the mother is, she will not watch her child die."
Yuan Chun nodded, Mama Lai has followed the old lady all her life, the old lady started from the great-granddaughter-in-law in the Jia family, to the current old Fengjun, she knows best what her temperament is. I'm not going to treat you like that, you and I are small and grow up together. But I don't have such scruples about your son or grandson. So in front of Mama Lai, there is actually no other way at all.
"It's good, it's good." Yuan Chun smiled, everyone didn't have dirty hands in this matter. Whoever comes, can't find fault with the Jia family.
"It's not bad, if you jump out and say I'm so vicious, I'm going to cry to death." Ou Mengmeng sighed lightly, "Actually, I left her a door, remember, I asked them to ask Lai Mama's birthday."
"A month, as long as she survives this month, she can get out of it with her whole body." Yuan Chun was stunned.
"No, if it's a month, her children and grandchildren are willing to save her, she can get away with it. One month is the deadline I give her, and I set them free, but by the rules. She didn't really pay attention to me. And her children and grandchildren are really a little unpresentable."
