Mr. Yao may have caught a cold while keeping vigil, or maybe he was heartbroken from crying. After seeing off the guests, he fell down and couldn't get up.
Mrs. Yao quickly sent for a doctor, who checked her pulse and prescribed medicine.
Before the decoction could be taken down, Mrs. Yao’s lady friend came to invite Mr. Yao to the old house of the Yao family.
Mrs. Yao said angrily, pointed at Mrs. Hu next to her, and said: "If you go back to her, just say that our master is sick and can't go."
Mrs. Hu had just sent the people, but not even a quarter of an hour later, Mrs. Map left and returned again, saying that all the clan elders were here and they were waiting for Mr. Yao.
"Urgent, urged, anxious to wait for the student! Tell her..."
Mr. Yao, who was on the hospital bed, waved his hand to Mrs. Yao and said, "The clan elders are here. It would be disrespectful for us not to go. My head is very dizzy. You can take Yao'er to have a look."
"But..." Mrs. Yao hesitated to speak. She knew that Mrs. Yao meant to divide the family property, and her husband was her backbone, not to mention such a big matter, which made her feel uneasy.
On the one hand, Mr. Yao was ill, and on the other hand, he remembered Mr. Yao’s instructions before he died, asking him to honor his stepmother and love his brothers.
He went to the capital that year because he didn't want to embarrass his father, so he had no reason to fight for the property now. He knew what his wife could do, and it would be counted as much as the share was divided. If the share was less, he would suffer a little, and he must not let Quanxia
My father’s soul is restless.
"Father, why don't you let me go too?" Mengying said to Mr. Yao.
Mr. Yao nodded and agreed.
Mapozi brought Mrs. Yao, mother and son into the gate, and hurriedly went inside to report.
After a while, Mengying saw her second aunt, Mrs. Liu, and greeted her from inside. She warmly took Mrs. Yao's hand and walked towards the study room where Mrs. Yao lived.
As he walked, he said affectionately: "Sister-in-law is here. I have been busy with the funeral of the old man these days, and we two sisters have not had time to talk much. I heard that you have been feeling bad for the past two days. How are you feeling?"
"Okay, thank you for your concern, brothers and sisters." Mrs. Yao said perfunctorily.
"I haven't seen Miss Lan Xiu next to my sister-in-law."
"She..." Mrs. Yao hesitated.
"Sister Shi is staying with me now. Does Second Aunt have anything to do with her?" Mengying replied.
"It's nothing. Now the old lady is crying and has a headache again. I plan to give her a forehead wipe. I remember that Miss Lan Xiu is very good at embroidery stitches, and I want to ask her for advice."
Mengying sneered in her heart. Her second aunt's lies were full of loopholes. She also had an embroidery shop and a ready-made embroidery girl. Why did she need to ask a little girl about her stitching skills? In her previous life, why did she think she was so flawless?
?
"Look at what the second aunt said, although Sister Shi is not from the Yao family, her mother regards her as an adopted daughter, and she can also be regarded as your niece. If you don't want to ask for advice, I will ask her to come tomorrow. Even if she has to wait for aunt for a few days, it will be
It should be."
"That's impossible. If she wants to be free, just bother her for half a day."
While the second lady turned back to talk to Mengying, she felt her left eyelid twitching. Why did she feel that there was something in what this little girl said?
Entering the study, Mengying took a closer look, oh, the small study was actually packed with people.
The second old man and the sixth old man sat side by side on the main seat. The second old man Yao sat on the east side, and behind him stood the eldest son Yao Chengnian.
Mr. Yao San is sitting on the west side, Mrs. Yao San is sitting next to him, and behind him stands the third girl, Yao Mengqiu, who is still the timid little look she used to be, hiding behind the third lady, secretly looking at herself.
Mrs. Yao entered the study room and took her children with her to salute the elders one by one. Mengying paid special attention to the second master and the third master. She only bowed slightly but had no intention of giving up her seat.
Really, my father is not present, and no one respects my mother, a lady.
The boy added a chair at the end. Mrs. Yao turned sideways and wanted to sit down, but Mengying stopped her.
I saw Mengying facing everyone, fluttering a thousand blessings: "Please forgive me, grandfathers, uncles and aunts. Mengying dares to ask, why did you call us here? My father is sick in bed and can't wait at the bedside. He is very uneasy."<
/p>
The second old man coughed, cleared his throat, and said: "Qingshan is actually tired and sick, and his young and light body is not very strong.
I asked you to come here for no other reason. Your grandfather has passed away, but the trees are branching, and the National People’s Congress is dividing the families. It’s time to divide the houses.
Your sixth grandfather and I were entrusted by your two uncles to help you bear witness to the separation of your families. Even though we are not in the same house from now on, we will still be a family."
The sixth old man took over what the second old man said and said: "Daughter-in-law Qingshan, even if Qingshan is not there, it will be the same if you are here. I vaguely remember that the fourth brother said when he was alive that in the future the property will be passed on to the eldest grandson, so this winery and the ancestral property will be passed on to the eldest grandson.
Should it be attributed to Chengnian?
There are still some land and shops left under your father-in-law's name, and you three brothers can share a share."
"What?" Mrs. Yao took two steps forward and said angrily through gritted teeth, almost yelling at the two uncles.
"Mom, calm down." Mengying pulled her mother back.
Just listen to Mengying Yun calmly say: "Since there is nothing to divide, then you can just watch and divide. To be honest, we had a narrow escape from death along the way, and we were almost killed by Butler Song.
Then Song Decheng also admitted that he was coerced by others to do such a betrayal. I have already asked someone to write a petition, and I will go to the county government office tomorrow to drum up my grievances, so I won’t leave any more." After saying this, he took Mrs. Yao.
Go outside.
As soon as she finished speaking, the second lady's tea bowl dropped and there was a crisp sound, and everyone looked at her.
Mengying glanced at the second lady provocatively, and the second lady suddenly felt like a light was on her back.
"Tea... the tea is too hot." After the second lady finished speaking, her face turned pale with fright, and she looked at the second master in despair.
The second master, who had been silent all this time, left his seat and stopped Mengying and the others who were about to leave.
"I didn't expect my sister-in-law's journey to be so tortuous. Why don't you sit down and tell everyone what happened? We brothers can get together and help come up with ideas."
"Huh, we've all divided the houses. Let's each go after our own thing. I can't bear the good 'means' of the second master." Mrs. Yao emphasized the word "means" very hard.
"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? We are sisters-in-law."
The second wife, Mrs. Liu, who was still in shock, hurriedly pulled Mrs. Yao to where the second master was sitting just now, pressed her down on the seat, and signaled to the second master with her eyes.
The second master asked Mrs. Yao to salute: "Sister-in-law, please don't blame me. These are the wishes of the old master during his lifetime. It's not that I am greedy for money. If my sister-in-law is unhappy, we brothers will speak out."
"The second uncle was joking. No one has said this to us since we entered this house. Now that the second uncle has spoken, my niece will argue that the eldest son precedes the eldest grandson, right or wrong?"
Mr. Yao Er nodded.
"Then there is no saying that it will be passed down from son to grandson. But this was said by my niece, because my father has no intention of fighting for the property.
Now that we have all the witnesses and physical evidence, we just want to bring the person who harmed us to justice, so that his reputation will be ruined, and the spines of future generations will be stabbed."
When Mengying said this, she deliberately made the ending sound very long and glanced at the second lady next to her.
The second lady staggered and almost fell.
"Sister-in-law, what do you mean?" The second master glanced at Mrs. Yao.
Mrs. Yao understood and said firmly: "Meng Ying is right, there is no reason to pass the inheritance from son to grandson. Our lawsuit can be fought or not, it depends on which one is lighter and which one is more serious."
"If this is not the case, the wine shop will be divided into two parts, the eldest brother will have one share, and the third brother and I will share the remaining half. What do you think, sister-in-law?"
"Of course..." Mrs. Yao was about to say, of course not.
Mrs. Yao, who had not shown her face until now, was helped out from behind the screen.
As he walked, he said: "I didn't expect that the road to Qingshan would be so tortuous. Please take good care of the eldest brother. We have no brother-in-law feud in the Yao family. When the eldest brother recovers, we will separate the family and we will close the door in the future.
Come, let’s discuss it again before it’s too late.”
Mengying looked at the kind-hearted step-grandmother in front of her. This was the most sanctimonious person she had ever seen in her two lifetimes. She spoke the words of the Bodhisattva and did the most filthy things.
First she took away her grandmother’s dowry, and now she wants to take away the family property. It’s not an exaggeration to say that she is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
"What the old lady said is that we need to discuss it carefully."
Mengying deliberately said something profound, and met Mrs. Yao's searching gaze with sharp eyes.
The second old man and the sixth old man had their beards bristling angrily, and they were taken for granted by these villains. In the blink of an eye, the mother and the virtuous brother were polite.
They all say that they are not close to each other, but they were used as knives. They really took a breath of anger and walked away without waiting for the servants to see them off.
