Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 311

When the Jiang family estimated the old man's family fortune, Wan Chengmin was also settling accounts. She was specially invited by the Jiang family. Jiang knew that she would not return the 3 taels of silver, so he notified Wan Chengmin and wanted Wan Chengmin to come. Stirring and stirring, she would rather take advantage of Wan Chengmin than Mai Xiang and Huaici.

Naturally, Wan Chengmin would not let go of this opportunity.She originally wanted to borrow some light from Mai Xiang, but Huai Ci's fame is gone now, even if Mai Xiang is protected by Prince Li, she is still Bai Ding, and now that the family is separated, she will definitely not wait to see the Wan family people.Others don't know, but Wan Chengmin is very clear about Huaici's life these years.

Therefore, Wan Chengmin had no choice but to give up Mai Xiang and Huaici, and stood by Wan Zhigao's side. After all, she loved Wan Zhigao a lot when he was young, and the relationship between the two has always been good. Of course, there is the most important point, they They are all descendants, so the interests of descendants must be safeguarded.

"Father, mother, can I be fair?" Wan Chengmin asked.

"Tell me." The old lady said hastily.

"This Zhigao is the eldest grandson and the only direct grandson. He won't get as much as Huai Ci. In the future, he will have to take on the responsibility of supporting the four elders. This burden is not light. One thousand mu of land plus three pavements is only 2 taels The money is in the early days, and two more shops are only 3 taels of silver, but Huaici took 3 taels of silver bills and got two of the best shops. The dowry of the only legitimate daughter is not as good as these two concubines' nieces, if it gets out, I don't know where to put my face?"

"What do you think?" The old lady frowned.

The four shares were discussed by the old man with her. If Huai Ci was really treated too badly, she was worried that if Mai Xiang would quit, wouldn't it be troublesome to bring Prince Li out?

"What I mean is to add the 3 taels of silver bills to the public account and let everyone share it equally. This is only fair. After all, Zhigao is the only legitimate son and grandson. Most of the children born by concubines are sent away with some money. Now, where can I participate in the division of the family property? Zhihe and Zhilian's dowry is richer than mine, should my parents make up for it?" Wan Chengmin laughed.

Only then did Mai Xiang know that Wan Chengmin was here to rob her. She really opened her eyes. This Wan Chengmin's thinking is really like a modern person. A married girl can go back to her mother's house and beg for a drink when the family is separated. soup.

The problem is, if Wan Chengmin wanted something, why didn't he go to the old man and the old lady in private, but wanted it so blatantly, wouldn't this be creating hatred for himself?
How did Mai Xiang know that Wan Chengmin relied on the support of the old lady and didn't take others seriously at all. What she wanted was the effect of this madness, so that Jiang, Wan Zhigao, Huaici and others could recognize that she was in the Wan family. status.Another point is that there are a bunch of children from her family, and she doesn't intend to let them share the family property with her children, so the concubines must be treated differently.

"Father, mother, I think what my little sister said is also reasonable. The concubines have been different since ancient times. How about doting on concubines and destroying wives is also a crime? How are you, the concubine is not as good as the concubine?" Jiang Shi agreed.

"Really? Since the daughter-in-law said so, how about it? It's not easy to divide the five thousand acres of land into four parts. Why don't you allocate a thousand acres of land to Miner, which can be regarded as making up for Miner. Miner You should be content now, and don't make trouble anymore." The old lady said.

"Hey, thank you mother, mother still loves me." Wan Chengmin was very proud to see that he got a thousand acres of land as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Then, mother, what about the 3 taels of silver notes?" Seeing that the old lady was patronizing to distribute land to Wan Chengmin, but she never mentioned the bank notes, she suddenly felt a little cheated.

"What bank note? That is from the Pei family to Zhiyuan, not from the Wan family." The old lady gave Jiang a white look.

"By the way, mother, why did the Pei family give Zhiyuan so many banknotes? What is the reason?" Wan Chengmin wanted to ask a long time ago, but never got the chance.

"Okay, don't ask if you shouldn't ask, but I think there are good people somewhere, I will let you two nieces find out." Seeing that the old man looked bad, the old lady hurriedly patted her daughter's hand, and changed a topic.

"Understood, don't worry, I'll look for it when I get back." Wan Chengmin got a thousand acres of land in vain, and he was in an infinitely good mood.

"Mother, this?" Jiang was dumbfounded, and cooperating with her called Wan Chengmin here for nothing. Not only did he lose a penny, but he also took in 750 acres of land. Not counting how much money this land is worth, there is also a year's rent. There are hundreds of taels, which is a big loss.

"What, what, and you, the marriage of the two granddaughters has not been discussed until now, and I don't think you care about it at all." The old lady complained.

"Okay, that's it. Huaici, when will you move?" Wan Baocai asked. He had long thought of teaching Jiang a lesson, but the marriage of the two granddaughters has not yet been settled.

"Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

"Understood, I'll go to transfer ownership tomorrow morning and have a reunion dinner tonight. I'm tired too. You guys should all leave. I don't need to come to say hello today." Wan Baocai shrank back into the chair, closed his eyes and rested his mind.

Mai Xiang and Huai Ci returned to their small courtyard. Both of them were not very satisfied with today's division of the family, but felt that it would be impossible for Wan Baocai to divide the family property into two shares. After all, they had to maintain such a large family, and the expenses Not too small, and the two old men had to leave a way out for themselves.

"I just feel that the woman surnamed Jiang didn't get the punishment she deserved, and I'm not convinced." Mai Xiang said.

"It's coming soon. I guess she won't have many good days after her two younger sisters leave the cabinet. The old man's heart is like a mirror. If she wasn't behind the scenes, how could there be so many troubles? The Wan family It was so hard for me to be a Jinshi, and even the door plaque of the Jinshi and the degree was about to be removed, they are more narrow-minded than us!"

"That's true." Mai Xiang knows that people in this era generally regard the honor of the family more important than their own lives.

But Huai Ci can see the truth, Jiang must also understand, that's why she procrastinated not to introduce a partner to the two concubine daughters, and was anxious to send Wan Zhigao to do business, and eager to encourage a separation of the family. In this case, she would not be afraid The old man turned against her.

"By the way, after we finish moving, let's tell about Wan Zhigao and vomit her too."

"Don't worry, paper can't contain fire. Let's not talk about this kind of thing. Someone will talk about it. Let's just wait and see."

Mai Xiang rolled her eyes and thought of a good idea. Just when she was about to speak, Wan Chengyao came to the door suddenly.

Mai Xiang was very surprised, this was the first time Wan Chengyao entered their courtyard.

After serving tea, Mai Xiang guessed that Wan Chengyao had something to say to Huai Ci, so she led the maids down.

"Zhiyuan..."

"Just call me Huaici."

"Huaici, dad came here today to say sorry to you. Anyway, you are dad's good son, it's dad's fault, dad hasn't treated you well all these years."

"It's okay, I'm used to it, you'd better talk about business."

"Don't worry, I will definitely give you justice in the future. This is a little private house that Dad has saved over the years, and I will give it all to you. You can live well. No matter where you are, send a letter to Dad to report that you are safe." Wan Chengyao After speaking, he took out a purse from his sleeve pocket and put it on the Kang table.

"No need, I'm not short of money now." Huai Ci pushed the purse over.

"This is Dad's wish. Dad knows that you are not lacking, but Dad can only use this to express Dad's heart. Although it is a little late, but Dad really wants to give it to you. Go out for two years and go home early , and, you should also have a child."

When Wan Chengyao said this, Huai Ci couldn't push it back.It's not that he forgave Wan Chengyao, but that he remembered Mai Xiang's words, don't want it for nothing, it's for nothing to make Jiang Shi cheaper.

After Wan Chengyao left, Huaici stared at the purse on the kang table in a daze. This purse was very old, and Huaici recognized that it was embroidered by his biological mother, because Huaici also had the same one in his hand.

He didn't expect that Wan Chengyao actually kept his biological mother's purse in his hand, and used this purse to store private money. Does this mean that his father has not forgotten his biological mother, and Wan Chengyao's is What does "I will definitely give you justice" mean?
"What's the matter?" Mai Xiang came in from the outside, saw the purse on the kang table, and picked it up.

"Hehe, that's not a lot. There are twenty thousand taels of silver notes. It seems that your father really wants to make up for you, and took out all his belongings."

Mai Xiang didn't know, the Jiang family fought back and forth and couldn't forget the 3 taels of silver notes. If she knew that Wan Chengyao gave Huaici all the [-] taels of silver notes from his private house, what expression would she have?

"So much?" Huaici did not expect that, he knew that his father's salary was not high, the money might really be all his wealth accumulated over the years, it would be a lie to say that he was not touched at all.

Huaici was moved, but Jiang's had a hard time over there. She gritted her teeth and smashed a few teacups in the room, but Wan Zhigao heard the movement and stopped her.

"Mother, you keep asking for the 3 taels of silver, why did the silver get into the hands of the second brother?" Wan Zhigao was puzzled and kept asking this question, but unfortunately no one told him the truth.

"You child, didn't you tell you not to inquire? Why do you inquire about this again?" Jiang is unwilling to destroy her image of a loving mother in his son's mind.

"Mother, just tell me. I've been thinking about this these days, and I can't even read the book."

"You child, if you say you are not allowed to ask, then don't ask." Jiang Shi became impatient.

"Don't be angry, mother, we are not losing money. In the future, the property in the hands of my grandparents will be left to me, as well as the valuables at home and the private houses in the hands of you guys. If you add them up, it will be worth it." That's not too much, mother, don't get angry with the second brother."

"Hmph, the private house in our hands can be given to you, but it may not be in your grandmother's hands. Your aunt is an insatiable greedy person, and she never has enough."

"By the way, speaking of private houses, mother, how many private houses does father have?" Wan Zhigao asked.

Looking at Wan Chengyao's guilt towards Huai Ci today, Wan Zhigao is really not sure if this father will favor his second brother.
