"Let's go, Auntie, it's been a long journey, so you have to let someone rest for a few days." Yuan Chun smiled at Aunt Xue, "Auntie, if you rest for a few more days, you won't get any younger. By the way, my wife is not good at managing the house and finances. If she If I ask you to borrow money, you must not borrow it. Her niece has just cleaned up her dowry, and now it is left as it is. Don’t worry! You too, you need to learn this from our wife. It’s better to have a biological child. Keep your personal wealth and your own money well. My dowry and Baoyu's betrothal gift were paid by the old lady privately. She has nothing to spend money on."
"You..." Mrs. Wang's face turned red with anger, and her hand holding the rosary trembled. Is her daughter blaming her? Do you blame her for not even giving her a dowry? This was originally from the father-in-law, so why should it be taken out of her dowry? The stewardship rights are gone, but now he is asking for his dowry. I have never seen such a stupid guy.
"Your account book is still in the back room of Jiangyunxuan. If aunt can understand it, take it out and have a look." Yuan Chun gave a fake smile, "How about you find Brother Feng's literacy book and you can study hard?"
Mrs. Wang was so angry that her whole body was shaking. She really couldn't stay any longer, so she turned around and left.
Yuan Chun nodded to Aunt Xue and went out by himself.
Aunt Xue and Baochai were stunned together. Are they their biological mother and daughter? Looking at each other, neither of them knew what to say.
"It's better to move away!" After a while, Baochai said calmly.
"Your uncle sent someone to clean it up. What do you think of the old lady?"
"I think what Auntie just said, is it true that the old lady asked her housekeeper to save a private house?" Aunt Xue asked hurriedly, she was almost moved to tears when she heard it.
"What do you think?" Baochai wanted to hear what her mother meant.
"It must be true that she is asked to take care of the house and build a private house. Over the years, we can also know from the letters that the old lady only eats, drinks and has fun, and does not care about anything. So think about it,
But it is unlikely that she lost the dowry. You don’t know your aunt. She has been so temperamental since she was a child. It’s really hard to explain. You see, she is wearing a half-worn robe, and she looks so kind and frugal. However, when there are new ones, you insist on putting them out and wearing them. What do you think is wrong? It is right to be frugal and cherish things, but is she frugal? There is no less to be done. "Aunt Xue really complained about her sister, but she spared no effort.
"Father also said that there is something wrong with your frugality." Baochai also smiled. Her mother did not have the problem of not wearing good clothes and wearing old clothes, but she was not like a daughter from the wealthy Wang family. She really cherished , if she sees the little girls not cherishing them, she will nag them. In the father's view, the mother is a good person, but she really doesn't know how to manage the house and educate her children. It's just that it's hard to say this.
"Well, your father often said at the beginning that the Wang family didn't know how to educate their daughters. He taught you all by himself. He said that his daughter should study and know many things. I just know what he said before about raising Brother Feng as a boy. It's just a joke. Look at the girls in the Jia family, look at the gates, look at the banquet at night, this is how everyone really looks." Aunt Xue looked at her daughter lovingly.
"So it's really inappropriate for my aunt to let us go to Beijing. With our filial piety so important, even if someone else has filial piety, it would be very unlucky." Thinking about it, Baochai would have to find a hole to bury her in embarrassment today. stand up. Think about the aunt's arrangement, and then look at the old lady's arrangement. The difference is obvious. She also began to feel a little ashamed of herself.
"Oh, so I should listen to Zhu'er and stay in Jinling." Aunt Xue sighed after thinking about it, then shook her head, "But, in Jinling, who can I find for you? Now that your uncle is here, he can at least take care of you. Come on. Now we only have land and real estate in our hands. If your brother wants to lose, it won't be easy. I won't want to find a good wife in the future."
"Auntie won't really borrow money from you, right?" Baochai just heard Mrs. Wang cry about her poverty for a long time, making it seem that the Jia family is relying on her dowry, and over the years, her dowry has been exhausted. . This made Baochai, who had previously helped her mother read the letter, feel psychedelic. They talked about the Jia family's wealth and splendor before, but now they say that the Jia family has failed and all her dowry is gone. What should they do? Baochai was anxious at that time and thought of numerous plans in his mind on how to interrupt the conversation between them. Thanks to Yuanchun's arrival, she maintained her demeanor.
"How can I have money? The living money I have is to buy dowries for you and Bao Qin!" Aunt Xue
Mom said hurriedly, but when she thought about it, Mrs. Wang was her biological sister, so she didn't want to mention it and hurriedly changed the topic, "By the way, old lady, what does that mean? Let me see, and if it doesn't work, back off. This is What's the meaning?"
"It means that the Xue family is different now. The Mei family was originally funded by our family, but now my father and second uncle are gone. You have forgotten that the Mei family did not send anyone during the ceremony. The Jia family at least let Mr. Lin Hurry to fight, otherwise, the clan will give us so much land and shops. Although it is a bit shameful, but now think about it, the old lady is really far-sighted. She said that the Mei family is unreliable, so in a few days, we will find opportunities to test it out, and we can’t replace it. It's business for my sister to call off the engagement." Baochai said hurriedly.
"That's okay. I'm afraid your second aunt is procrastinating. If she leaves, your sister will have to observe filial piety for a year. I'm afraid it will be even harder to choose someone." Aunt Xue sighed again and regretted it. , If I had known earlier, I would have kept mourning in Jinling. At least I could give the second wife a ride, and I could also keep my nephew and niece close to me.
"That's right, we can't go back now." Baochai also sighed. When he thought about it, he felt that it was abrupt for them to rush into Beijing. It's really a dilemma now.
Yuanchun sent his mother back to East Road. There was a car outside the Rongxi Hall. However, Yuanchun supported her mother and said, "Let's go for a walk with my wife. It's just a walk."
The people around him didn't need to say anything, and they automatically kept a distance from Mrs. Wang and Yuan Chun, knowing that mother and daughter had something to say.
"Say what you want to say quickly." Mrs. Wang and others stepped aside before speaking bitterly.
"I just want to say, madam, if you want your grandmother to be imprisoned in the Buddhist hall in front of your aunt, just make as much noise as possible!" Yuanchun let go of his mother's arm and said calmly.
"What am I making a fuss about?" Mrs. Wang was so angry that her face was completely humiliated.
"It doesn't matter. After a hundred days have passed since I got married, it doesn't matter whether you are here or not. Anyway, Baoyu and Tanchun are still young. Waiting for three years will not delay his marriage." Yuanchun said very calmly, but He smiled and said the cruelest words.
"You..." Mrs. Wang was about to vomit blood again, "You hate me so much, I am your mother."
"I also want to ask this. The old lady gave you more than ten years to accumulate wealth, but you said she was greedy for your dowry. Okay, I know what you mean. A biological child is not as good as a close wealth. We don't want your money. You keep it for yourself. However, don’t touch the Xue family, this uncle and grandmother will not forgive you."
"Am I so unbearable in your heart?" Mrs. Wang burst into tears, looking aggrieved.
"I already know about the things that happened between you and Mantou An before; you also used the money in the house to loan money to line your own pockets... Do you know that this is soliciting lawsuits and competing for benefits with the people? This is a violation of national law. ?" Yuanchun pursed his lips. She was really disappointed with her mother as she got to know her better.
"The money in the account is getting less and less..." Although Mrs. Wang also knew these things about herself, she would definitely not be able to hide them from her daughter who dealt with these confidants, but she still couldn't help but hope that her daughter didn't know. Now she can only give a dry explanation.
"Don't say that you are subsidizing the public school, the public school does not have the money. I also asked Wu Xindeng and his wife who are in charge of the bank, you know, I don't dare to sell these two people. I can only be like Zhou Rui's family. , pulled out his tongue and threw it into the farthest village." Yuanchun looked back at her mother, because of her, she felt that her hands were covered with blood. Thinking of what the old lady asked just now, what right did she have to dislike Xiong Xing? His hands were not stained with blood. Thinking this way, she became even more angry at her mother. .
She was surprised, what does this person want money for? The point is, if you can take advantage of public life and save private life, at least you have to save money. As a result, you broke all the laws you could, and as a result, your money was coaxed away by those servants. So you wholeheartedly contribute to the servants?
Mrs. Wang stomped her feet and walked towards the east road. She felt that if she continued talking, her own daughter would be angry to death.
Yuanchun followed silently, and she had nothing to say, because if she continued talking, she was afraid that she would vomit blood.
I silently escorted Mrs. Wang to the side yard next to the main house on East Road. She made a mistake before and the old lady locked her up for a while, so this time she reorganized the house and Mrs. Wang was placed in the large side yard closest to the main house on East Road. In the courtyard, it shows her status, but she is the only one here, and of course, there are her cages
.
She was about to go back, but Mrs. Wang turned around and said, "You are my biological child, and you and Baoyu are my life."
"I know, but I don't know what you think. I can't understand." Yuanchun has been brainwashed like this since he was a child.
"No matter who you marry, it will actually be painful and helpless. That's why I asked you to marry the tallest, at least you have dignity. So the old lady doesn't really love you at all, she just thinks the price you sold to the palace is not appropriate. "Mrs. Wang stared into her eyes, not aggressively, but looking calmer.
Yuanchun stood there and nodded for a while: "It's good. At least I told the truth. It's a tragedy to marry anyone anyway. It's better to get some benefits for the family. What about Baoyu? What can Baoyu get for you?"
"He has a background, he is destined..."
"So, you have to use all your resources to let him grow. Rongfu, me, everyone, have to sacrifice for him?" Yuanchun wanted to slap himself, but he shouldn't ask. These are the things she has heard since she was a child. of.
"When he becomes a talented person in the future, you will all have dignity." Mrs. Wang said confidently.
"Oh! I have to ask my uncle later. Is this how the Wang family teaches their daughters? So they don't teach anything and train their brains to be stupid and reckless. This just happens to screw up the whole husband's family and leave them with less opponents in the court?" Yuan Chunjie? He smiled and said, "The Jia family is the most unlucky. They have tricked two generations. We won't stop until we trick the Jia family to death, right?"
"You!" Mrs. Wang was angry, how dare Yuanchun say that about the Wang family.
"Come here, seal the door." Yuanchun didn't want to pay attention to him, walked out of the door, and shouted outside.
This time no one dared to object, Mrs. Wang's door was locked, and this time Yuanchun locked up his biological mother himself.
