Chapter 17 Separation?
After dinner, Song Heng returned to the house and pulled Pei Yu with a serious look on his face. Pei Yu thought something big was going on, so he suddenly became serious too.
"Madam, do you know how much money you have at home?" During this time, Song Heng was not only getting familiar with the Song family and his life, but also observing everyone in the Song family.
Now it seems that no one in the Song family suspects the two of them. The attitude of the Song family can be seen from Pei Yu's change in meals. Although the sons are worried, they do not suspect that there is anything wrong with the couple. They are just worried about their livelihood.
There is no problem with the daughter-in-law and the two younger children. They are simply afraid of their mother-in-law and their parents.
It goes without saying that one of the Song family couple is old-fashioned and the other is tough. It turns out that since Song Heng intended to be a strict father to control his son, he must have taught filial piety to the letter in his son's education.
And Pei Yu is a man who can crush the whole family with his force. None of the sons in the family has been beaten by his mother. What's more, every time Song Heng beats his son, it's because of his wife. This has caused all of them to have some childhood shadows, and they feel sorry for their mother.
They were all very afraid, and subconsciously they were even more afraid of making my mother angry.
After seeing through the true nature of the Song family, Song Heng planned to start making changes.
After all, they are completely different people from the original owner. It's okay to pretend for a short period of time, but something will go wrong if the time is too long. They have to subtly let the Song family get used to their new parents.
Pei Yu was stunned when she was asked this question. She really hadn't thought about this! Before, Mrs. Pei Liu took care of her at the Song family. She was always worried for fear of being suspected. Later, because of the food issue, she was full of thoughts.
I really didn’t expect this to improve the quality of life.
Seeing this, Song Heng knew that the other party had not thought of this at all. He had thought about it, but unfortunately the original owner was a rigid person. Song's father told Pei Yu to take care of all the housekeeping and money at home, so he always left it to his wife.
, I have never cared about it once, so he really doesn’t know the specific situation of the money.
However, the Song family apparently did not have much money. When Song Heng's grandfather came back, he renovated the ancestral house and bought a lot of fields. The money was spent a lot. Although the ancestors also had fields passed down, it could be passed down through several generations.
, it will inevitably be squandered.
It just so happened that the world was in bad shape, and many families in the village were killed by natural disasters. There were many people selling their land. Naturally, this land was cheaper than in peaceful years. Song Heng's grandfather bought a lot of it, mainly to keep cash in the troubled times.
Not safe.
I don't know how many eyes were on their family when they came back. It would be better to spend this money on something clean and safe.
When Pei Yujing mentioned this, he immediately started rummaging around in the house. He was afraid that the noise would be too loud and would be heard by others. Pei Yu searched carefully, and after a while he felt tired, so he began to instruct Song Heng to look for it.
After a while, Song Heng was sweating profusely. Song Heng's physique was not much better than that of Pei Yu. Pei Yu felt that this boss teammate also needed to replenish his body, as he was too weak.
There are many small cloth bags scattered on the kang, as well as a palm-sized wooden box. This is all the money hidden by the original owner. These small cloth bags are really skillful in hiding, under the corners of the kang, on the beams, in the corners of the walls, on the wooden
The back of the cabinet, let alone, is very well hidden. Even if a thief breaks in, he or she may not be able to find a few of them.
After drinking some water, Pei Yu began to unpack the cloth bag. In the wooden box were some broken silver, which was the family's money on the surface. In the cloth bag were the private property that the original owner had saved over the years and the money left by Song's father.
The money under the family had been hidden for a long time, and I really didn’t know how much money there was. Pei Yu suddenly felt excited about opening the blind box.
"Thank you, madam." Song Heng squeezed Pei Yu's arm. Now he was really not worried about money.
These days, because the original owner's body is not fully under control, Song Heng has not called her "Mrs." just once or twice. Pei Yu has really gotten used to it. Fortunately, Pei Yu has never subconsciously called her husband.
Pei Yu raised her hand: "It's okay. If you didn't remind me about this, I really wouldn't have thought of it."
As he spoke, Pei Yu had already opened a cloth bag. The cloth was wrapped tightly, layer by layer. After untying it, their eyes flashed, and they saw two gold ingots!
Pei Yu was shocked, and Song Heng was also surprised. The Song family didn't look like a wealthy family! One ingot of gold was worth ten taels of silver! What a sign!
With the gold ingot at the beginning, Pei Yu immediately became motivated and opened the cloth bag in one go. The gold ingot was gone, and all that was left was some silver. The broken silver in the wooden box was also poured together.
There were several pieces of yellowish paper pressed under the box. Pei Yu knew clearly that they were land deeds and house deeds, which were the family assets on the bright side.
Seeing only two gold ingots, Pei Yu was a little disappointed, but he was not disappointed. At least there were two gold ingots.
Song Heng counted: "These silver coins add up to a total of eighty-five taels." He turned his eyes and looked at the two gold ingots and said: "Add these two, the total is one hundred and five taels." As for the scattered ones piled there.
He didn't count the copper coins.
Pei Yu looked at him and blinked: "The money is all here. I'll take half of it, and you can keep the other half."
Pei Yu said that she divided the money. She felt that although the two wanted to live together, they were not really husband and wife after all. Brothers were still settling accounts. Naturally, money should be clearly distinguished. Uneven interests would inevitably affect unity.
Song Heng watched quietly as Pei Yu finished dividing the money. He confirmed that the girl was serious and not a test.
He reached out and put all the money into the wooden box, then looked at Pei Yu with a straight face: "Do you want to separate the family?"
"Separate the family? No." Pei Yu was stunned. What do you mean by dividing the family?
Song Heng looked at her with a very serious expression: "We are husband and wife. We have discussed this before. Our relationship cannot be changed. In this case, since you are my wife, you naturally have to take care of the public property. Now one share
What does it mean to be two?”
Song Heng really had no other thoughts at the beginning. Apart from maintaining the original Song Heng's character, his first thought was to live a bland and ordinary life and experience things he had never had in his previous life.
So he really doesn't care what Pei Yu thinks about him, as long as Pei Yu does a good job as the mistress of the Pei family, but now it is obvious that Pei Yu has not recognized her identity and has not placed herself before the Pei family at all.
, in his wife’s position, otherwise there would be no such thing as sharing the money.
She really doesn't regard him as her husband. She has no hesitation in sharing money with him. He is her legitimate husband after all, right? Doesn't she know what husband and wife mean?
During this period of time together, Pei Yu has been constantly attracting his attention. This attraction is unconscious. He has confirmed that the girl is just gradually becoming less guarded against him. She does not intend to attract his attention.
