Chapter 100: The sheep are cruel and the wolf is greedy (3)
After hearing what the patriarch's eldest son said, Xu said with a little sadness: "Minniang and her second wife are not easy to mention except for the engagement. Mr. Sun had no need to hide the love between her and her husband during her lifetime. She was stronger, back then.
I am afraid that I have resentment, so I have avoided the second wife for many years. I am a venerable person, and I am a wife who is not very good at commenting on the matter back then... It's just for this matter that I never forgive my husband until his death.
Aunt, I said sorry to my grandmother until I died. Xian Gu didn’t regret it, otherwise she wouldn’t have died of depression after leaving for a few months.”
When Sun's marriage was done, the clan leader was the first to be entrusted by the third prince of the second house in the capital, so he knew the reason.
Speaking of which, it is hard to worry about right or wrong, so I can only say that Sun and the second wife have no chance.
Sun Min is a tycoon from southern Zhejiang, Sun Mengsheng was born in his old age and his only daughter. When Sun Min was in his teens, Sun Mengsheng was over 60 years old and his wife was already dead, so he wanted to entrust his daughter to his old friend, the third grandfather. One reason is that
He has a deep friendship with the third master and is willing to give all his wealth to the dowry instead of giving others a favor. Second, the Sun family has no successor and is afraid that his daughter will suffer losses after marrying her daughter outside.
The third grandfather and Mr. Sun have a deep relationship and have always regarded him as his elder brother. He is willing to be in-laws, so the two made a marriage contract.
Because the Sun family was a businessman and there were no female elders in the hall, Sun Min was sent to the capital and was taken to the second house by the third grandfather.
Because of his old age, Mr. Sun gradually ended his business in the south and started to buy property in Zhili, waiting for Sun and his daughter to marry.
The third old ladies were a family of officials and scholars, and looked down on Sun Min, who was born in a merchant family. She was very dissatisfied with her husband's private engagement for her second son. Even if Sun Min was taken to the second house, she did not get the third old ladies.
Liked.
The third grandfather took Sun to his house, in order to let the third old lady teach Sun Min personally, but the third old lady ignored him and pushed all the affairs to the eldest daughter-in-law who had already entered the door. So Sun Min was led by Xu.
.
By the time Sun Min and the second master were 16 years old, he had already passed the imperial examination and was even better than the eldest master in terms of talent in studying.
The third old lady was tempted by the second son and did not want him to lose his wife's help in the future, so she privately exchanged Geng letters with the Imperial College Priest and hired her niece for the second master.
When the third master knew about it, he was furious and naturally wanted to leave the family's marriage.
For the sake of the future of the second son, the third old lady forced each other to die, but refused to leave the marriage, which made the third grandfather write a divorce letter, and the couple was about to break up.
Although the second master also felt that the third old lady did not admit the engagement between Shen and Sun's family and made a marriage for him, she was her biological mother and a sincere love for her son. She could not look at her parents and so she went to Sun's family to take the blame.
.
Master Sun learned about this and went to the second room and persuaded the third master to take a break. Then the two families canceled their marriages, and Sun Min was also picked up.
The third old lady wanted to recognize Sun Min as her daughter, add some dowry, and talk to her about another marriage, but was scolded by the third grandfather, but the matter was left unresolved.
After the third master inquired about the children of the Songjiang clan, he personally wrote a letter to Songjiang, asking the clan leader to be a matchmaker, and told the Sun family to the fourth wife Shen Yuan.
When Sun Min got married, although the third grandfather did not accompany Mr. Sun in person and his eldest son was not allowed to leave easily, he sent his eldest daughter-in-law to take care of Sun Min's marriage. Most of Sun Min's dowry was handled by Xu.
.
Mr. Sun had already decided to retire in Beijing, but because he was nearly 70 years old, he had already chosen all the blessed lands, so he was adjacent to the third master's blessed land. In the past few years, he had also been in the same family as the second wife. After this incident, he did not go to the third brother.
The great master turned against him, and he was a little annoyed that the third old lady and the second old master were acting, so he returned to the south.
Until his death, Mr. Sun asked someone to send the coffin to the capital for burial. The property left by Zhili was not left to his daughter. Although it was not given directly to the third master, it was given to Xu as a name to reward her for her daughter.
Education and care.
Although this gift is generous, Xu refused to accept it. She has raised Sun for several years, but she was only ordered by the third master to act, and she did not think she should have received such a great gift. Besides, Mr. Sun has a daughter here, so these should be left to him.
Sun Family.
The third grandfather asked the eldest daughter-in-law to accept it, and mentioned that Mr. Sun had no heirs and that Sun married far away. In the future, he could not take care of the sacrifices, so he handed it over to the eldest son and daughter-in-law.
Is this gift of a wealth of thousands of dollars, and it will never be just for someone to visit the grave?
Xu guessed that Mr. Sun bought these industries in Beijing and planned to donate them to the Shen family in the name of dowry. Although the marriages of the two families changed, Mr. Sun still did not change his original intention, so he bought a marriage for Mr. Sun. Beijing and Zhong
The property is still entrusted to the third master to take care of. The reason why he named himself was that he was dissatisfied with the past of the old lady and the second master.
This gift was clearly for herself, but in fact it was for the Shen family. Xu wanted to join the public and was stopped by the third master, just asking her to take care of the sick third master in the future. For the second master, he mentioned that
No mention either.
Although the third master took back his divorce letter, his relationship with the third old lady ended up with the last couple; he was also disappointed with the second master.
The third old lady got engaged to her son for the second time, and the old couple also made a big fuss about this matter, but the second master's choice was not the same. He could kneel down and beg Master Sun, or he could kneel down and beg for his uncle and aunt.
Not to mention that there was a marriage contract that came first and then arrived, it was only said that the Sun family was an old father and a weak daughter, and the relatives had no help but entrusted their daughter to the Shen family. Sun lived in the Shen family for four or five years; and the lady of the restaurant and her father
Qinggui, the mother's family is reliable, and the two families have not spread the engagement. Even if they withdraw from this marriage, they can find other good families. The second master should have gone to the priest's house to apologize and retrieve the Geng Tie, instead of going to the Sun family.
.
If the second master was in a hurry, it would be not hateful for a moment. He was a little boy before he went to Master Sun's house, but he was blocked by Master Sun, but he still insisted on going to the Sun's house.
Whether the second master fell in love with his childhood sweetheart and his cousin, or like the third old lady, he felt that marrying Sun would lose his wife's help, or he felt that offending a year-old businessman without relatives would be less likely than offending a priest and a restaurant,
Choices are all lost in morality.
For this reason, as soon as the second master got married, the third master divided the family and separated the second master and his wife. The third old lady came forward to stop him, but she did not stop him.
The second and third brothers did not live together, and only the eldest and third masters lived together.
It was not until the third grandfather passed away and the eldest son had no children, and the third old lady asked the second grandfather to come back to fulfill his filial piety, and the third brother lived in another area.
Later, the third old lady passed away, but the third master was sick and weak. Even if he got married, he always relied on his elder brother. The eldest master was worried that his younger brother would live alone, so he did not mention separation. The three brothers lived like this, but they were divided and not separated.
Xu has always been thinking about Sun's family over the years, but Sun's family is unwilling to contact Beijing. What she can find in Beijing is news that she has lived a good life. It is not easy for the second wife to bother her too much, after all, she
It was not a secret that the second house was educated for several years in Beijing. If the two families had a marriage contract were leaked to Songjiang, the Sun would be the one who was in a dilemma.
Who would have thought that she had passed away when she got her exact message.
Thinking of this, Xu could only smile bitterly.
As Sun's suicide note was sent to Beijing, there were also 100,000 taels of silver banknotes. She entrusted her son to Xu and asked Xu to take care of Shen Rui in the future. After Shen Rui got married and started a business in the future, he would use these silver to help him.
One and Two. The eldest master of the second house has no son, and the third master has no son, but Sun never asked about his heirs. Obviously, he did not want to get the second house, which was too involved.
Although Xu did not know the inside story, Sun sold his dowry before he died and entrusted his son to others, not his husband or mother-in-law. It can be seen that the one who guarded him was not the back wife, but also his husband and mother-in-law. Shen Rui was the only legitimate son and grandson.
However, the family even mentioned that they had a separate family, and there were obviously other arrangements.
Xu discussed with her husband and wanted to pick Shen Rui up to Beijing. After all, a nine-year-old child was worried without his biological mother.
The master was thinking carefully. Shen Rui had his biological father and grandmother here, but there was no reason to raise him by others. The best way was to take him out of Songjiang in the name of adoption. The master's legitimate family branch here has Shen Luo.
This nephew is not convenient for adoption; it is just right to remember it in the name of the third master.
The property of the second real estate in Beijing was originally a gift from Mr. Sun. It is also a good idea to give back the income from that year to Mr. Sun’s grandson.
Both of these couples were kind-hearted people, so they made this plan and asked them to go south to worship.
After getting the news, the couple was indignant when they knew that Shen Rui had encountered him, but because Shen Li was taking care of him, they did not rush to mention adoption. As a son of man, Shen Rui was filial to his biological mother for three years, which was the son of man’s responsibility.
Xu also said hello to the third master and his wife, and only temporarily kept it from the second master and his wife.
The three brothers had already agreed that Shen Luo would be together in the future. Now Shen Rui has adopted the third family. I don’t know how the second master and his wife will react. Instead of making everyone unhappy for this matter, it would be better to "take action first and report"
Let’s talk about it later.
After all, the three brothers have already separated, and the industries of the eldest and third houses are all their own. Not to mention that the third master has adopted the heir, even the eldest master wants to adopt it, and the second master and his wife have no right to stop him.
Who would have thought that just as Shen Rui was about to give birth to filial piety, the master and his wife were planning to arrange for someone to go south to handle the adoption, and Shen Luo fell off a horse and died while traveling on the Double Ninth Festival.
The bloodline of the second room was cut off, and it was not just the second master and his wife who were sad.
The master personally educated his nephew over the years, treating him as a parent and child, and then fell seriously ill.
Xu was not feeling well. While he wanted to take care of her husband, he also went to his sister's house to comfort his niece. Although Shen Luo had not gotten married, he had already made a marriage, and the eldest daughter of Xu's young sister was appointed.
I didn't expect that the second wife was crazy and insisted that the young lady of the He family was desperate and defeated her husband. Even Xu complained. She even made trouble to the He family and forced the young lady of the He family to die. The young lady of the He family was silenced, if it weren't for her family
If you stop it, you will die long ago.
Xu was so angry that he knew that the second wife was sad and lost her mind, and it was useless to care about her.
However, in this situation of the second wife, it is difficult to adopt Shen Rui. Otherwise, according to her idea, if she knew that the eldest and third wife had already decided to adopt Shen Rui, she might blame Shen Luo's accident on him.
Whether Shen Rui was adopted by the third master or the eldest wife as he had planned to be adopted by the couple, the couple began to be a little confused. Even if they owe the Sun family favors, if Shen Rui was an unsuccessful person, they would He would not let Shen Rui go to the eldest house. Even the sons of the small clan need to support the door, which is not something that ordinary people can do.
The lesson of thin bloodline also reminds the master and his wife.
Chen Luo is already eighteen years old and has achieved fame and fortune. When he is about to marry a child, he will be gone. If he is alone, the second wife will still be at risk of blood being cut off at any time.
But if the younger brothers cannot work together, the second wife will inevitably lose. Should we adopt one heir or three, the couple will always hesitate.
But Shen Rui had already made a filial piety, and the matter of picking him up to Beijing could no longer be delayed, so the Xu family went south to "visit their relatives".
Today, Xu brought a few nephews to Songjiang. It was not an accidental encounter, but a special trip here...
