"There is such a rule for marrying a girl in the capital. The heavier the dowry, the more respectable she will be. If the dowry is light, she will be looked down upon by others. But after the master was arrested, the family spent a lot of money on it, and there was also a small-scale dowry. The house was confiscated, so our house is actually just an empty space. I can only discuss with my son-in-law and daughter to show others how to fake it."
After saying this, Mrs. Zhou sighed to herself.
Others obviously still didn't believe the result.
After all, they had been planning for so long and had gone through so much trouble to come to the capital, not just to get rich.
But now that they came here, Zhou told them that the second brother's house, which they thought was rich, was actually empty now.
No one can accept this reality.
Zheng immediately stepped forward and said, "What you said is so pitiful. In fact, who knows whether what you said is true!"
Mrs. Zhou was obviously stimulated by Mrs. Zheng's words. When she heard this, she immediately stood up and said, "If you don't believe it, come with me to see it! You have seen all the property in the house with me." Shouldn’t you just believe me!”
The others did not say anything, but the eldest aunt of the Zhou family could not wait to say hello.
"Okay! Just let us go and have a look!"
Others thought that Ms. Zhou was just talking, but after Ms. Zhou ordered the people around her to seal the box and carry it away as usual, she then led the group of people directly towards the warehouse.
When they arrived outside the warehouse, Mrs. Zhou declared in advance, "All the property of our Zhou family is now in here! If you want to see it, go in and see it for yourself!"
After saying this, Mrs. Zhou only motioned to others to open the Zhou Mansion's warehouse.
Although Zijuan was reluctant, she did not dare to disobey the madam's order. At that moment, she reluctantly opened the door of the warehouse with the lock.
Others saw that the warehouse was opened, and although everyone wanted to go inside to take a closer look, at this moment, everyone just looked at each other, and no one wanted to go inside first. Take a look.
In the end, the eldest aunt of the Zhou family couldn't stand it, "This is the property of the second brother's family. We already have our share here. What are you doing pushing it around?"
After saying this, the eldest aunt of the Zhou family took the lead and walked into the warehouse.
When the others saw her entering openly, everyone naturally followed her immediately.
However, when they actually saw the scene inside the warehouse, they stopped talking. Although there were more than a dozen large boxes in it, every box here was empty.
Seeing this situation, everyone couldn't help but look at each other.
Mrs. Zhou saw that they had finished checking the boxes, and looking at the empty boxes that were opened, Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but said, "Everyone, you have seen what's going on here. Are you satisfied now? Are you relieved?"
What Zhou said was somewhat sarcastic and angry.
But Ms. Zheng was still making sarcastic remarks, "We have seen it, but who knows if you are deliberately pretending to be poor to show us that, in fact, you have already moved your real money elsewhere and hid it?"
Mrs. Zhou obviously laughed angrily at Mrs. Zheng's words. She said coldly, "Since you don't believe me so much, you can search my house. If you find even a cent of my property, all my property will be lost." It’s yours!”
After hearing this, the eldest aunt of the Zhou family immediately responded. She also didn't believe that the second eldest brother of the Zhou family had such a big business and had only such a little thing left.
However, the word "nice" about the eldest aunt of the Zhou family had just been spoken, and the eldest uncle of the Zhou family, who did not say anything after that, scolded the eldest aunt of the Zhou family, "Shut up!"
The eldest aunt of the Zhou family wanted to say something more, but the eldest uncle of the Zhou family glared at her, and then the eldest aunt of the Zhou family did not dare to say anything.
Although Mrs. Zheng didn't believe that the second child's family could have nothing left, she didn't believe that Mr. Zhou could let the family become so poor, but if the search continued, the reputation would definitely be bad.
Even if they made a big fuss about the wedding on the day their brother and daughter got married, now their brother's family
There was nothing left, and they were just adding insult to injury.
Zheng still wants to show off a little bit, and naturally others are even more so.
So at the moment, everyone was just like a firecracker, and no one was willing to speak anymore.
When Mrs. Zhou saw that everyone was silent, she spoke again, "You have seen the situation now. I only have this house left in my house. If you want to take away my house, then I have nothing to say." That’s right! It’s just that this capital is not that easy to establish a foothold in!”
At this moment, when everyone saw the situation in the Zhou family's home, they had no other ideas. If the second child of the Zhou family really only had one apartment left.
Then there is really no need for them to stay in the capital.
After all, the cost of living in the capital is huge. If the second family really only has this house, they will have to be responsible for their future expenses in the capital.
Moreover, there are two brothers, and the courtyard is not easy to separate. It is impossible for them to live together under one roof.
It's okay to live this kind of life once in a while, but it's not uncomfortable if you live it for a long time.
Therefore, the current situation is at least harmful to the boss of the Zhou family.
However, the eldest son of the Zhou family was obviously still unwilling to accept this, so he took the initiative to ask, "Didn't the second brother buy some land before?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhou only whispered, "I bought it, why didn't I buy it?"
After hearing Zhou's words, everyone was immediately overjoyed.
However, Zhou's next words only brought everyone back to their original state.
"But what's the use of buying it? Most of the land was confiscated during the house raids. The remaining acre of thin farmland is not enough for our family to eat and drink."
After saying this, Ms. Zhou only turned to look at the eldest uncle of the Zhou family and said, "We are all borrowing money to live. Brother, we have nothing now. Brother, little brother, you are living a very good life in your hometown." Well, since you have such brotherly love, why don't you help our family."
However, for the eldest son of the Zhou family, their home is easy to get in and out, and besides, they also paid a sum of money when Zhou married his daughter. At this moment, it would be difficult for Zhou to get him to pay.
When the eldest uncle of the Zhou family heard this, he immediately said, "Brother and sister, it's not that we don't want to help you, it's actually that our life is not easy."
It can be said that Mrs. Zhou was not surprised at all when she heard what the eldest uncle of the Zhou family said.
However, in order to disgust them, Zhou just continued, "Brother, since you said so, there is nothing I can do."
After her words fell, Mrs. Zhou only looked at the third eldest brother of the Zhou family and said, "Third brother, what about you? Don't tell me that your family has nothing. As far as I know, your family's business is very prosperous, and the former A while ago, your son was negotiating a few big deals in the capital!"
Hearing what Zhou said, the third son of the Zhou family did not deny it.
Just as he was about to nod, Mrs. Zheng beside her became anxious. She immediately said, "Our family doesn't have any money either."
Zhou smiled and said nothing, "Zheng, what you said is a bit false. If your family has no money, then my eldest brother's family and mine will starve to death."
"Your family is so rich, so it shouldn't be too much to support our family and my eldest brother's family a little, right?"
She didn't know that it was Zheng who was behind all this.
So even if it was just to disgust Zheng, she couldn't help but take the initiative to say this.
Doesn't she like to form cliques? Doesn't she like to rake things down?
So today she will treat others in their own way.
She wanted to see if Zheng could still accept it calmly when faced with this.
When Mrs. Zheng heard this, she naturally wanted to defend herself, "Our family really doesn't have one."
However, this defense is too weak and pale.
Mrs. Zhou immediately said, "Didn't your son just negotiate a few big orders? Moreover, I saw the gift list. My eldest brother's family also received a gift of one hundred taels. Your family is so rich, but you still only go with the gift." It’s fifty taels, this is your niece’s wedding, it’s too stingy of you to do this.”
Hearing Zhou's words, Zheng's face was obviously panicked, and the eldest aunt of the Zhou family immediately looked at Zheng angrily.
It’s not that she thought Zheng didn’t pay too much, she was angry because last night they had discussed how much everyone would pay as gifts. Zheng said it grandly at the time. She said at the time that she couldn’t get away with a hundred taels. After all, this But their only niece.
Although the eldest aunt of the Zhou family was reluctant to part with it, she later thought that her family would get the property of the Zhou family anyway, so she was generous. She only discussed that she and the Zheng family would both pay a hundred taels and go and hand it over today. During the ceremony, because she was busy, she did not pay the money with Zheng, let alone find out how much Zheng paid. But it turned out that what she said at that time was so high-sounding, and now she turned away and gave half as much as she did.
The eldest aunt of the Zhou family doesn't want a reputation. Zheng made her get half of the gift money in vain, which is like asking her for half of her life.
Now that the Zhou family has no money, their plans are in vain, and the eldest aunt of the Zhou family only feels that she has lost both her wife and the army.
At this moment, the eldest aunt of the Zhou family was showing great restraint if she could not fall out with her.
How could he stand on her side again?
So the eldest aunt of the Zhou family couldn't help but take the initiative and said, "Ms. Zheng, you are not being kind. How can your family not have it? You have made a lot of money in your hometown. Didn't you show off to me a while ago that your son negotiated for you?" We have made several big deals, can we earn half a house in the capital? Your family is so rich, why can’t you even give a small amount of gift money!”
Hearing what the eldest aunt of the Zhou family said, Mrs. Zheng looked very embarrassed.
However, the eldest aunt of the Zhou family was too lazy to care about her ugly face.
Originally, they only came together temporarily because of their common interests, but now their interests are gone.
In addition, the eldest aunt of the Zhou family actually hates the Zheng family even more. After all, the Zheng family has cheated their family a lot.
However, the Zhou family is not as good-looking as the Zheng family, so the eldest aunt of the Zhou family is actually more dissatisfied with the Zheng family.
