Mingmen Family

Chapter 99 The Song Family's Mother and Son's Plan

She didn't have the patience to teach people how to read. After all, she herself was slowly familiarizing herself with traditional Chinese characters by reading books during this time, and practiced calligraphy secretly in order to make her own characters closer to the original owner's.

The original owner's hairpin flower lowercase script is very well written.And her previous pen writing was flamboyant and flamboyant.

The personalities of the two are diametrically opposed.The same is true in the style of writing.Although she has the memory of the original owner and the mechanical memory of her body, the style of writing is still very different.

Bai Rui took the paper suspiciously, and looked down carefully.

After reading two lines, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Ye Yaming.

What was written on this paper was the gold, silver and jade jewelry that the original owner had given to Mrs. Yu over the years.

For the support of the Ye family, Yu always pretended to be poor. She wore some wooden jewelry on her head and hands, and when chatting with the original owner, she said that the wife next door saw that she had no jewelry. , looked down on her, and cried in front of the original owner.

It's not that the original owner couldn't see that Mrs. Yu was asking her for jewelry.But in order to please her future mother-in-law, and also for Song Yifeng, she had to give Yu's gold and jade jewelry.

But she doesn't have a lot of money, and there are a lot of jewelry for these girls at home, so she can't bald herself, which will damage Miss Ye's face.Moreover, she also knew that she couldn't satisfy Dayu's appetite, and it was impossible to give them all during the holidays.

So she faced Yu Shi's supercilious eyes, and only gave Yu Shi a piece of gold, silver and jade ornaments as a New Year's gift during the Chinese New Year.

If there is one, there are two, and after sending it once or twice, it becomes a practice.Every Chinese New Year, the original owner would give Yu Shi a piece of jewelry.

However, under Yu's pressure, the jewelry she gave was not cheap.Adding up all these years, those jewelry are worth 300 taels of silver.

Ye Yaming knew why Bai Rui was surprised.

She said lightly: "Since the Song family dislikes me, the jewelry I gave out before will naturally have to be returned, and they can't be cheap for nothing. You can see if there are any omissions, and make up for some. If there are no more, you can take them back Send this list to Meng Ji."

Hearing this, Bai Rui looked carefully at the name of the jewelry on it, thought about it, and asked Ye Yaming to add another one, then took it to the main courtyard,

……

Although Song Yifeng was admitted to Juren, he was still a young scholar with no connections and no money, and when he was angry, he never thought of going to the vicinity of Ye's mansion to inquire about the latest news of Ye's family.

So he didn't know that two carriages went to Ye's house today, and one of them was still used by Master Wu.

He returned home and told Mrs. Yu the conversation he had with Ye Chongming.Because Song Yifeng had vaccinated Mrs. Yu beforehand, Mrs. Yu's acceptance was quite good.

Because she knew that Ye Chongming was a businessman and had been in business all his life, so it was impossible for him to do business at a loss.Since the Song family wanted to retire, it would be fine if Ye Chongming didn't bite off a piece of their flesh, but only asked them to return the money the Ye family had paid for so many years.

Probably because she was afraid of her son's power, so she didn't dare to go too far.

She rolled her eyes and said, "Let's pay them back 500 taels of silver."

Song Yifeng opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but finally closed his mouth.

The Ye family has given them 200 taels a year since he was ten years old, and now there are 400 taels, not to mention every year he participates in poetry and literature meetings, takes the imperial examinations, and takes advantage of his and his mother's illness. The nominal money is at least 200 taels per year.

In seven or eight years, the Ye family gave them no less than 3000 taels of silver, which did not include Ye Yaming's monthly subsidy and the cost of buying the house.

After being silent for a long time, he said: "First you prepare 3000 taels of silver for me. If you pay back 500 taels, I am worried that the Ye family will not let you go, and it would be bad if you don't want to withdraw from the marriage using this as an excuse. Although there is a lot of money , but getting rid of this family relationship will benefit more, and we can't lose the big because of small things."

3000 taels of silver was roughly the amount the Ye family had given him over the years.If you count carefully, it can only be more.But he believed that the Ye family would not get into trouble with him because of the two or three hundred taels of silver, and that it would be enough to pay back 300 taels of silver.

As for the 1000 taels of silver spent by the Ye family when buying the house, he treated it as non-existent.

Although Mrs. Yu is in charge of the family's money, Song Yifeng still knows how much money the family has.If you sell the field, you can get 3000 taels of silver together; if you want to get 4000 taels of silver, you have to sell the house.

A house is a person's face.Selling the house and moving to a small courtyard with a poor environment and a small area, he will lose all face as a man, and it is impossible for any official lady to marry him and live in such a house.

As for waiting for the official lady to marry a dowry house and live in the dowry house in the future, Song Yifeng is unwilling and dare not think about such a good thing.No one would marry such a large sum of money as a dowry unless there was a great businessman who asked for him.

So this house is absolutely not for sale.

Yu Shi and Song Yifeng are biological mother and son, and the brain circuits of the mother and son are the same.

She never thought about selling the house to raise money.

She said: "I'd like to give it to you, but I have to have it at home. It's 500 taels, and I borrowed it from those small landlords today."

The reason why these small landlords want to put their fields under Song Yifeng's name is not only to exempt certain taxes, but also to attach themselves to Song Yifeng.

These days, they have money but no power or power, so they only have to deal with local hooligans, and they also have to deal with the exploits of the yamen servants and Li Zheng.Attached to Juren's name, the small landlord can live a peaceful life.After all, beating a dog depends on the owner.

Who dares to underestimate Juren's future?Not to mention that they may be admitted to Jinshi, even if they fail to pass the exam, those who are more promising will be like Mr. Wu, serving the officials, or going to county schools or government schools to take classes. , to be able to speak in front of officials or powerful people.

Yu Shi is a shrewd and calculating woman, otherwise she wouldn't have brought her son to Lin'an City, and the days would be better.Because in the past, if she was short of money, she could ask for it from Ye's family. She basically didn't keep any money in her hands. When she saved two or three hundred taels of silver, she used it to buy land.

This time, Ye Yaming didn't come to the Song family to be taken advantage of, and the Yu family spent a lot of expenses. Previously, there were only a few dozen taels of silver on hand.

As soon as Song Yifeng said that she wanted to withdraw from the marriage, she knew that she would have to pay back some money to Ye's family.She ran for a day today, and managed to borrow 600 taels.

Without the Ye family's income, she always had to keep 100 taels of silver for backup.I don't know how difficult the life of mother and son will be in the future. How can she spend more money?

"No, if you borrow some more, you need at least 500 taels." Song Yifeng said.
