She was stunned for a while before she realized what the other party said: "You, you want to move your entire family back to the Imperial City?"
"Exactly." Mrs. Xu clapped her hands, and then said, "I had no choice but to leave back then. Now that I am safe, it's time to return to my hometown. It can be regarded as a fallen leaf returning to its roots."
The smile on Mrs. Xie's face was almost unbearable. A matron like Mrs. Xie usually did everything just right, so she rarely showed such an expression.
If it had been anyone else, I would have been embarrassed on the spot.
The Xie family here is still relatively stable. Even if there are one or two people in the branch who want to cause trouble, they are suppressed. In this way, the Xie family can still live peacefully with dignity and wealth.
But if so many people suddenly come here, including men, women, old and young, at least 200 people, how will they live? Where will they live? Can everyone stay safe and avoid causing trouble?
They have worked so hard to get where they are today, and they see that the future will get better and better. Why do these people come back? Could it be that they come back to pick peaches? They didn't come back when they were miserable in the past, but now that they are better, they come back to enjoy the blessing of the Xie family.
Already?
Forget about this blessing, I'm afraid Chengri will cause trouble and implicate them.
Xie Zhu almost stood up and cursed, but luckily Xie Yixiao reached out to hold her back.
Mrs. Xie calmed down, and then asked Mrs. Xu: "Come back? Where will you live when you come back? How will you make a living? Sister-in-law, I also know that your family is rich, but after all, this is an imperial city. If you don't have some livelihood, I'm afraid it will be difficult to live.
.”
"It is good to return to your hometown after falling leaves return to their roots, but you have to live this life."
Mrs. Xu said: "Back then, our two families were separated for some unavoidable reason. Now that the disaster has passed, we have become one family. Don't you think so, brothers and sisters?"
"As for this accommodation, my siblings will just follow the previous rules and make arrangements."
The Xu family's implication is that they want the two families to become one family. Now the Xie family's wealth and glory must be shared with their family, and the direct descendants also want the treatment of the direct descendants, living in the Xie family's mansion?
What kind of dream is this?
It's broad daylight and I don't want to dream.
Mrs. Xie was really angry and laughed: "Sister-in-law, I call you sister-in-law because after all, your family and I are from the same family. In the past, we have branched off and divided the family business. Now of course, we are no longer one family.
reason."
"Just like brothers who have separated their families, there is no reason to reunite as one family. Even if this matter is said in front of the ancestor's memorial tablet, it makes no sense."
"When the families were divided, they were clearly divided. My sister-in-law's branch and the other seven branches were leaving and took away a lot of money and treasures that could be taken away from the Xie family. If our branch stayed, we would get this
The main house and the nearby houses and some family properties.”
"To put it bluntly, the Xie family's mansion now belongs to our branch. My sister-in-law's branch and the other seven branches have no share."
There was a moment of embarrassment on Xu's face, and then she said: "Brothers and sisters, what happened back then was all out of necessity. You and I are from the same bloodline and have the same ancestor. Now that we can be reunited, why bother anymore?"
These?"
"Besides, this family is harmonious and our ancestors have spirits in heaven, so they can rest in peace."
Are you using your ancestors to oppress others?
"Don't just talk about your ancestors. You just want to see us and come to take advantage." Xie Zhu couldn't help but said, "Now the Xie family is the great-grandfather, grandfather, uncle, and
What uncle and my father worked hard for, what does it have to do with you?"
Before Mrs. Xu could speak, someone next to her accused Xie Zhu:
"How do you, a girl, talk to elders?"
"How dare you interrupt what the adults are talking about?"
"You are so disrespectful to your ancestors, are you still a descendant of the Xie family?"
"I don't think it's you who respect our ancestors." Xie Yi smiled and saw that Xie Zhu was about to jump with anger.
The girl is ignorant, is it possible that you are also ignorant?"
"Even if she is ignorant, she still has the guidance of us elders, so why are you pointing fingers? Pointing at her nose and scolding her?"
"Who do you guys think you are?"
When several people were about to say something, Xie Yixiao said again: "Why, I, the aunt, say something to you, do you still want to scold me too?"
"Although I am young, I am also your elder. If you don't respect your elders, even if you go before your ancestors, you still need to kneel down and reflect."
At this moment, Xie Yixiao finally felt that it was good to be a senior person. With these four words of "disrespecting elders" suppressed, who would dare to say no?
Several women shrank their necks, and indeed they did not dare to speak any more.
Xie Zhu also said: "That's right, if there is something wrong with me, my eldest aunt and little aunt will teach me. Wherever I need your advice, you should give it to your own people."
Mrs. Xie smiled: "I have made it clear to you that it is absolutely impossible for us to become a family. No matter what the reason is, we will break up. There is no reason to become a family again."
If the two families have developed at about the same level, and the children in the family are also similar, it would not be a big deal if they became one family. But now the Xie family in the Imperial City is developing well.
After more than 30 years of development, the Xie family has regained a substantial amount of money that was originally dissipated, and it will be better and better in the future. At this time, another family came to join them, and they helped with the resettlement. Perhaps out of the same clan,
Still willing.
But saying they want to become one family is really funny.
Why do you want to get a share of what we have worked so hard for? And you still want to be treated the same as us? Become a distinguished direct descendant of the Xie family? Do you really think we are stupid?
The smile on Mrs. Xu's face disappeared, and she was just thinking about what to say when she heard Mrs. Xie say again: "This time, our lunch box is for my sister-in-law. This family is here to worship their ancestors. As for the residence, there happens to be an inn at home."
, there are a lot of people living there recently, so I feel sorry for my sisters-in-law to live there."
Mrs. Xie had previously thought that there were still a few empty courtyards on the side branch, so she would have them cleaned and arranged for these people to stay first, but now, it is better to stay in an inn.
Mrs. Xu added: "Isn't it inappropriate for my brothers and sisters to do things like this? And you won't discuss it with your husband and the old lady?"
Mrs. Xie said: "If there is anything to discuss, their men will be responsible for working hard outside. Now I am not taking care of anything in the family. If I say I don't agree, I don't agree. They will personally do it."
Speaking of which, I also disagree."
"Sister-in-law, don't treat others as fools." Mrs. Xie glanced at Mr. Xu with a cold look, "If you really want to get together, that's fine. I'll give you a chance."
"The family property of your branch needs to be equal to that of ours. I agree. When the families were divided, they were equally divided. Since we want to become one family, it is natural that they should be equal. That is fair."
