Mingmen Family

Chapter 87 Mother and Child Negotiation
When it was over, Song Yifeng refused again and again, with a very backbone.Finally, "the kindness is hard to turn down", so he accepted the money.

Now Mrs. Yu is planning to use this trick again.

Xiaoxiang looked down on her in her heart, but there was nothing she could do.Other than Nanny Xia, she didn't dare to tell anyone else what she was complaining about, for fear that Yu Shi and Song Yifeng would find out and sell her to Fireworks and Willow Lane.

Mrs. Yu drank a cup of tea and was going to the kitchen to see the cook prepare the dinner when she heard the door knock and Guizi's voice came from outside.She hurriedly asked Xiaoxiang to open the door.

After a while, Song Yifeng came in with Guizi.

"You all go out." Song Yifeng shouted to Xiaoxiang and Guizi.

Seeing that her son's expression was not right, Mrs. Yu hurriedly asked after the two servants left, "What's the matter? What happened?"

Song Yifeng walked to the door, glanced outside, and saw that Xiaoxiang was going to the kitchen, while Guizi went to the study with his book bag.

Only then did he whisper to Yu Shi: "Mother, on my way back, I met two people who looked like tea shoppers, saying that the Ye family was selling private tea."

Yu Shi was taken aback.

Although she doesn't do business and doesn't understand Jin law, but because the Ye family is in the tea business, she still knows that tea smuggling is a serious crime, which will affect even her son's future.

"How could it be? Didn't you say that Mrs. Ye has always been law-abiding, benevolent and generous? He is still the leader of the line, how can he sell private tea?" She asked nervously.

Song Yifeng shook his head: "We don't have anyone under our command, so we really can't verify it. But I heard those two people speak convincingly, saying that Master Ye Si bought private tea through Meng Chengwei. The name of this person is clear, I'm afraid it's not true?"

"Then what should we do?" Yu Shi panicked, "Why don't we go and annul the engagement. Anyway, this engagement will be annulled sooner or later, we can't delay any longer."

Song Yifeng didn't speak for a while.

Mrs. Yu knew that her son was also hesitating, so she persuaded him: "There was no excuse before, but now the Ye family has handed over the existing handle to us, if we don't take this opportunity to withdraw from the marriage, when will we wait?"

It's not that Song Yifeng is reluctant to withdraw his marriage, but is thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

Hearing his mother's persuasion, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll find a way to divorce the marriage tomorrow."

"But we'll have to live a hard life for a while after we divorced." Yu Shi sighed, "Fortunately, we have bought some land these years, and we have deed money, so we can live on even if money is tight. I'm afraid I'm afraid that the Ye family will be stubborn and want us to return the money they have given us for so many years."

Speaking of this, Song Yifeng is not afraid.

He had already thought about this question.

He snorted coldly and said: "The Ye family is no more than a merchant, do they dare to fight against me? Aren't they afraid that I will be admitted as a Jinshi to embarrass them? Even if I can't return to Lin'an to be an official, my colleagues in the same year, officials, and It is too easy for Master Wang and the others to embarrass the Ye family. The Ye family will not see this clearly and force us to refund the money."

Hearing this, Yu's slightly frowned brows did not loosen.

All these years relying on money from the Ye family, their mother and son lived comfortably.Not only do they eat poultry, duck and fish every day, they wear silk and satin, they serve servants as servants, and they live in big houses. They can also save a lot of money every year and buy ten or twenty mu of land.

Although the number of fields purchased every year is small, the accumulation of small amounts of land is worth more than [-] mu of land under their name.

Thinking about not having the money from the Ye family in the future, and only going in and out, Yu Shi felt uncomfortable.

When she brought her son to Anmou to live, the difficulty made her very afraid of the days when she had no money.With money, she has a sense of security.

Song Yifeng saw his mother's anxiety and comforted her: "Mother, don't worry, after I was admitted to Juren, wouldn't there be many people who want to put their land in my name for tax exemption? They will give us [-]% of the harvest every year. Deed money. The sum of these deed money is several hundred taels. In addition, I was admitted to Juren, and the price of the painting is higher than before."

"If Mr. Wang intends to recruit me as his son-in-law, I don't have to spend money to attend the poetry meeting, which can save a lot of money. I will too, and I can get engaged immediately after retiring. Whether it is marrying Mr. Wang Girls from the family, or the daughters of some big family, they always have a dowry. Anyway, the difficulties are only temporary, and they are for the future glory and wealth. Mother, please be patient."

These juren held poetry and literature meetings from time to time, with the intention of spreading the names of their poems and literature, so that the adults in Beijing and China would know and appreciate their poems and essays.They will also invite adults such as Wang Wenzhi to participate in poetry and literary associations to increase the quality of poetry and literary associations.

And these poetry and literature meetings all require money.Once or twice, it's okay to let those students from wealthy families go out.But the number of times is too much, at least once a month, it is not appropriate to let people out, so it is shared equally among the participants.

And to participate in poetry and literature meetings, you must wear some clothes that are no worse than others, and wear a jade pendant that is not bad.

That's a lot of expense.

And the money used to be paid by the Ye family.

Now that Song Yifeng said, she doesn't care what she thinks in her heart, anyway, on the surface she was comforted by her son.

She smiled and said: "Mother didn't say anything. No matter how difficult it is, Mother still supports you in retiring the Ye family's marriage. One must take a long-term view, and you can't look at the little profit in front of you."

Song Yifeng nodded in satisfaction: "Then I'll take advantage of this and withdraw the marriage."

Outside the rear window, a thin and idle man was quietly listening at the base of the wall.Seeing that the mother and son didn't speak any more in the room, Shi Yu left and went to the kitchen, Song Yifeng also went back to the study, and the idle man retreated secretly.

When buying this house, Mrs. Yu planned to buy this large two-entry courtyard under the guise of making it easier for Ye Yaming to accommodate the companion house she brought after she married, and pretended to borrow money everywhere.

She knew that the Ye family would not let them borrow money, but they just changed the way to make the Ye family pay the money.

Anyway, they also paid for this house. Although they paid a small part, the Ye family didn't want to put the name of the house on Ye Yaming as her dowry, but Song Yifeng's name.

I bought the house with the Ye family's money, and when Ye Yaming was disobedient, she told Ye Yaming to get out, and Ye Yaming had to get out. Isn't this better than living in the house where the daughter-in-law is dowry and can't afford the mother-in-law's airs? ?
Mrs. Yu made a good plan.

And things really developed according to Yu's expectation.Sure enough, the Ye family didn't ask them to borrow money, and sent someone to send money over.

Greedy bought this courtyard with two entrances, but the Song family only had two masters and three servants.Yu's wholeheartedly wanted to save money and buy more land, and he couldn't bear to buy more people to build a nursing home. Now it's convenient for Zhou Xiang to buy idlers and gangsters.
