Dressed as a mother-in-law, she leads the whole family to turn over.

Chapter 477 Divide the money

The puzzled villagers ran to Old Man Yang and Mrs. Li to inquire.

The old couple did have some guesses. They were happy in their hearts, but they didn't show it on their faces and just responded vaguely.

Everyone is working in the workshop.

There must be someone who went to Yang Lao Er to gossip, muttering, "Look, the first wife can live so prosperously with Jiang alone. Your son must have been promoted a lot working for the first wife! How much does he get in the city? We can earn nearly one or two taels of silver in the village if we work hard. Fugui should be able to earn at least two taels of silver! Yang Dou, how much money does Fugui give you a year?"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding villagers cast curious and gossipy looks at him.

Yang Lao Er was angry, but he couldn't get angry, so he just said calmly: "I haven't calculated it."

"Oh! It looks like there are quite a few! Yes, Fugui is such a filial child. Every year when he returns to the village, he brings home a lot of things. Tsk tsk tsk, if only I had such a filial son! Fugui is already an adult, Yang Dou, you should find a wife for him. Although the child is far away, you can't just leave him to his sister, right!"

The villagers' words left Yang Laoer unable to answer.

He wanted to intervene, but his son had already told him clearly during the Chinese New Year last year that his lifelong affairs would be arranged by his sister, and that his son would not accept the girl he chose nearby, nor would he come back to get married, nor would he give a betrothal gift. He did not have much money, which he had to save for his retirement in the future. Since his son was unwilling to take the money, he naturally could not find anyone to propose marriage.

Under the persuasion of the crowd, whether out of kindness or to take advantage of the situation, Yang Laoer's face became more and more gloomy. When he thought that Yang Fugui would not come back for the New Year this year, he became restless and stood up and walked to Old Man Yang and Li.

The old couple thought that Yang Laoer had guessed something and looked extremely panicked.

Yang Laoer was so focused on thinking about the "unfilial son" that he didn't notice any clues.

"Father, mother, did Fugui tell you that he will not be back for the New Year this year?"

Old Man Yang was stunned for a moment, exchanged glances with Li, nodded slightly, and said thoughtfully, "That's right. He is now working in the brick kiln factory in the east of the city. The city wall is almost completed. The prefect wants to speed up the work. He has to watch the people working under him. It takes several days to come back. It's a waste of time."

Yang Lao Er didn't know what the city wall was, so he just frowned and asked, "Did he say when he would be back?"

Mrs. Li questioned unhappily, "Why are you asking so many questions? Your child is still young and earns money to support you. He hasn't made you suffer or suffered. What else is there to be dissatisfied about? Before you think so much, take a look at our family's conditions and theirs! He doesn't expect you to help Fugui, so don't hold him back!
Second brother, I'm going to tell you in detail while I still have breath. Even if Qian did something wrong, she was still the mother of three children. In the end, she even lost her life for Daya. What she owed to the children has been settled by the three children. But it's different for you. The three children were originally filial to you, but you created Bai Yu Niang, who was the cause of all the trouble.

The three children might even blame you for Qian's death. As for Erya, it's okay, because she was adopted by the old family. They don't count on you, so don't even think about counting on her. From now on, you can only rely on Daya and Fugui.

You know the situation of the Fang family well. Things are different now. Daya and her husband are under great pressure. Apart from wealth, who else can you rely on in the future? You don't think more about the children and you keep trying to hinder them. You are so stupid! "

Li scolded without mercy, but her words were reasonable enough to make Yang Laoer unable to argue or think of anything else.

At this time, Yang Sizhuang and Yang Fugui had already set off for the capital with Yang Santie and others.

There are still goods in the caravan, and they have to trade along the way, so they will inevitably arrive in the capital later than normal. Fortunately, Yang Sizhuang and Yang Fugui are not in a hurry. One is full of confidence, and the other is mainly concerned about construction. It will be better for him to go out and gain more experience.

So when the group arrived in the capital, it was already the twelfth lunar month and it was snowing heavily.

Jiang Ning was very happy to see them, and immediately asked his servants to help them wash, bathe and change clothes.

When the whole family gathered around the dinner table, Jiang Ning just looked at them with satisfaction, and finally his eyes fell on Yang Sizhuang, "I have received your third brother's letter a long time ago. The Zhong family's marriage is very good, very good! I have already written to your second brother to arrange it. Wait until the two families are officially engaged, and then release this news."

Yang Datou, who was standing by, joked with Yang Sizhuang, "Fourth brother, the news that you won the first place in the Quzhou Prefecture has spread to the capital, and many people have asked my mother about your marriage. I'm confused. They haven't even seen you, and don't even know whether you are beautiful or ugly. Why are they so anxious?"

Liu Ye chuckled and teased, "Although they haven't seen Si Zhuang, they have seen you three brothers! And your sister-in-law, who had a fight with Meng Jinge at the flower viewing banquet and became famous in the capital. You brothers and sisters are all good-looking, how could Si Zhuang grow up crooked?"

"Hahaha" everyone laughed.

Yang Sizhuang's face turned red due to the teasing, but his eyes were particularly bright, "Thank you for the compliment, sister-in-law."

His reaction made everyone laugh again.

After dinner, everyone who was tired from the journey went back to rest, only Yang Santie went to Jiangning's study.

"Mother, this trip was a success. Ayana has been sent back to her biological mother, and even her lifelong affairs have been settled. To thank us, Prince Tiege of the Eagle Tribe specially gave me a lot of jade and gemstone seeds from the Western Regions. I kept some of the jade and gemstones, and sold the rest on the way for silver.

There are only those seeds. You know I am a layman and I really don't understand them, but I brought them back to you. Do you want to take a look?"

Jiang Ning's eyes lit up immediately, "Good fellow! You can even get seeds from the Western Regions! You are worthy of being my son!"

Yang Santie became even more proud after being praised like this, and said, "These are nothing. Aunt, guess how much I earned in total this time?"

"How much?" Jiang Ning lowered his voice, his face showing three parts of expectation, three parts of nervousness, and four parts of uneasiness.

Yang Santie came closer, stretched out two fingers, and said in a low voice: "More than two million taels!"

"Hiss!" Jiang Ning took a breath and his mind went blank in an instant, "How could it be."

Yang Santie immediately told Jiang Ning in detail what happened along the way, and finally said: "Princess Yongyang gave her 100,000 taels at the beginning, and I will give her 400,000 taels this time. Brother Xu can also get more than 30,000 taels. I will send it to them later. The rest belongs to our family. If we divide it, the least we can get is more than 100,000 taels."

Although the silver Xu Nuoshan gave was not much, he still had some books and calligraphy and paintings he had copied himself. Rich people outside the Great Wall who liked Qi culture would pay to buy them, and those things sold for a lot of silver.
