Chapter 72: The Old Lady of the Ruined Hou Mansion (6)

Minhou Prefecture, Xiangcun Courtyard

"Oh, that guy Qilian is living a comfortable life now. Not only is he completely in charge of his family, he also has a lot of money and assets. Now he does whatever he wants and is no longer short of money!"

Ning Jinzhong sat next to his wife's bed, sighed, and said with envy that his brother is now no longer subject to monthly money, and he just needs to use the amount of money to withdraw directly from the public treasury. However, he is still betrayed by his parents, and has no selfless property and dare not buy the property by himself. Even if he buys the property, he has to put it in his wife's dowry. He lives on monthly money every month and lives a stuttering life.

Even if you have money, you dare not use it, let alone if you don’t have money.

"If you want money, just say it. If you think you are talking like this, I don't know that you are asking me for money. The monthly money will be spent long ago. You are so embarrassed. If you use my dowry, I will lose all my dowry sooner or later.

Tell me, how much do you want?”&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Mao asked Ning Jinzhong with a blank look, raised his hand and took the wooden box with silver on the side and asked.

Based on her understanding of her husband, when she talks about money with her at the end of each month, no matter what she said before, she will eventually have to borrow money from her.

This has become a habit.

Fortunately, she has a lot of dowry and her monthly income is pretty good, otherwise she wouldn't be able to bear it.

"Oh, wife, what you said.

Am I that kind of person?

I just want to say that the sixteen brothers of the Qilian family have been divided, and I heard that each person has transferred no less than 20,000 yuan. How come their family gets so much money? When Brother Qilian was with me in the past, he always acted poorly, and sometimes I had to treat him to a guest.

He wouldn't have been pretending to be poor for so many years, right?"&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Ning Jinzhong’s suspicion makes sense. Anyone who hears that his brother who has shared the joys and sorrows with him is a great tycoon will think so.

"Twenty thousand taels?"

Where did you hear that? Their family has sixteen concubines, one of them has 20,000 taels, and the sixteen totals are 320,000 taels. In addition, except for the eldest son of Xijue, the rest of the sons can only divide the family property of 30,000 taels. Isn’t that saying that their family’s treasury has more than one million yuan in property?"

It is well known that the property is divided into only the public treasury, and it is well known that there are many private treasurys in the public treasury.

So, how could Mao not be surprised?

"I don't know this, but each of their concubines gave him five thousand taels of silver, two yards in the capital, a shop, twenty hectares of fields, and some jewelry and antiques. This should be fine. This is what Qilian said himself. Even if those jewelry and antiques are not added, the value of other things will be more than 20,000 taels.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

It's incredible!

When their family got married and had a daughter, they spent nearly 200,000 taels of cash. Unexpectedly, they still had such a strong family background for so many years.

You know the situation of our family. I guess it is difficult to get 100,000 taels in our treasury. They are all founded. How could the gap between them and Qilian's family be so big?"

Because the specific number was revealed to him by Qilian while drunk, Ning Jinzhong naturally believed it without doubt. While talking, he also complained that his family was not as rich as Qilian.

"My husband, you're wrong.

Our treasury cannot afford 100,000 taels. Last year, the disaster was a big disaster, and our land was not harvested. In order to avoid the hiring of farmers, we even allocated 2,000 taels to buy grains specifically. So last year, we lost more than 30,000 taels of silver. The losses in the fields cannot be compensated in the second year, so this loss is considered a real loss, the kind that cannot be compensated.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Now, I guess I can't even get 10,000 taels of cash in the public treasury. Some time ago, I heard that the second family went to the old lady to ask for something for her, so I gave the monthly money from last month. The second family was really embarrassed. I was greedy for the public treasury and didn't know how much money I was, but I was even embarrassed to ask the old lady for things to fill the loopholes. You don't know, our family can only put down the monthly money of our masters on time. Those maids have to push back half a month. What did the second family do by putting those monthly money in half a month?"

When it comes to the future, Mao was almost sneering.

"The family is so poor?

Is it even worth half a month?

What exactly does the second family want to do?”

Ning Jinzhong was a little shocked at this time. He never knew that their family was already in a state of embarrassment.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Although he was the eldest son, his mother died of dysfunction when she gave birth to him. Now the old lady in the mansion is his stepmother. So after his father passed away, the housekeeper power, which was originally under his wife, was deprived of by his stepmother in every way and gave it to his second brother's wife, the daughter-in-law of his stepmother and son.

If it weren't for the identity of his prince who had been invited by his father before his death, and he had been diligent and did not dare to make any mistakes, he probably might not have the position of marquis. However, because of the word "filial piety", he would not be able to force the division of the family. He could only let his stepmother and his stepbrother still occupy his marquis' mansion, and even had no power to be the master of the family and take over the public treasury.

So he really didn't know the situation at home.

"She is making profits, and the interest rate is very high, and she can double it in half a month. I don't know how many people are forced to sell land, houses, or even children. Then she switches her hands and buys those houses and fields at a low price, and sells them at a high price. Just like this, she can make several thousand taels a month.

You can just listen to these words. I am looking for evidence now. When I find all the evidence and don’t kill the second family, I will not be Mao. How important this matter is, you should know in your heart. Moreover, the second family uses usury loans. If I don’t find all the evidence, once the news is accidentally leaked, we will be unlucky at that time. So don’t go out to drink again in the near future. Stay at home honestly and wait for me to find all the evidence before I can talk about it.”

Mao's eyebrows were slightly dark, but there was a hint of smile and ruthlessness on the corner of her mouth. Over the years, because she was deprived of the housekeeper's right, and when her best friend invited her out to visit, she was embarrassed to go out to attend those banquets, for fear of being ridiculed and laughed at by others. Now she finally caught the mistake of the second family. No matter how high the price was, she must find ways to get the evidence.

If she doesn't fight for steamed buns, and doesn't get rid of her second family, she will be unable to extricate her family from being under her for more than ten years, and she will not be able to breathe or have no dignity and anger.
