Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 494

Cao Song stood there, looking at Zhao Jiashi with a blank expression.

The slaps of "slaps" fell on the ears of the other people who followed, but the tastes were different.

Except for the fourth sister and fifth son who are too young to stay up late and have been taken down by the police to resettle, the remaining sons and daughters-in-law of the second house are all in the house.

Seeing her mother-in-law making a move, Jing Hui had slap marks on her husband's face. She was worried and worried, and wanted to dissuade her, but she was worried, so she stopped in her tracks.

Ruhui was a little taken aback. Although she heard her mother talk about her aunt's bad temper in the early years, she had never seen it.

No matter before or after she got married, her aunt always treated her kindly.Even if she is more serious in front of Jinghui, Ruhui will only treat her as a mother-in-law and establish rules.

In her heart, she also wondered if her mother was angry with her aunt, held a grudge, and said these things behind her back casually.

During the few hours tonight, Ruhui has seen the "prestige" of her aunt like watching a big show.

It's just that she is a new daughter-in-law after all, and her mother-in-law beat her uncle in front of her, and this little aunt is not easy to notice.

Listening to the loud applause, she only felt her mouth go numb.She leaned her body hard behind her husband, looked at the door, and wondered if she should find a way to get out.

Under Zhao Jia's anger, he didn't care whether his daughter-in-law was with him or not.

Even after slapping the eldest son several times, she felt the pain in her palm, but it couldn't calm down the anger in her heart.

Seeing his brother in such embarrassment, Cao Shuo couldn't bear it, so he took two steps forward, stopped in front of his brother, and whispered, "Mother..."

Zhao Jia's last slap was on Cao Shuo's chin. She frowned, and was about to scold her second son when she saw the two daughter-in-laws with different expressions, and she realized that she had lost her composure.

She gasped for breath twice, sat on the edge of the kang, looked at her son and daughters-in-law, her heart was in a mess.

Cao Shuo turned his head, looked at Cao Song, worried: "Brother, you..."

Cao Song's face was red and swollen, he shook his head, smiled, and said: "It's okay, it's getting late, you go back and settle down first!"

He said the latter sentence to everyone.

Cao Xiang and Cao Fu both looked at Cao Shuo in unison.

Seeing that his mother was still angry, Cao Shuo was afraid that she would have another quarrel with his brother, so he hesitated, wondering whether he should go out or not.

Zhao Jia raised his head, gave Cao Song a hard look, and said to Cao Xiang and Cao Fu, "You two young ones, go back first!" Then he said to Cao Shuo, "You are already married, you are not too young, stay here Speak!"

Cao Shuo agreed, and Cao Xiang and Cao Fu looked at their brothers, and they also backed out with stern faces.

Green Chrysanthemum and Zi Lan watched their masters talk, and hurried down to serve tea.

Because Mrs. Zhao Jia didn't order, both Jinghui and Ruhui's sister-in-law also stood with their hands tied and did not leave.

Zhao Jia looked at the two daughter-in-laws, frowned, and said, "I made them noisy, and I didn't finish dinner. Go to the kitchen and see if there are any ready-made pastries, and heat up two plates."

Although it was an excuse to send them down, it was still a bit frustrating to have to eat in the middle of the night.

Cao Shuo stood beside his elder brother and looked at his wife, fearing that her face would make her mother angry.

Perhaps there were too many accidents that night, which made Ruhui quite sensible, so she followed her sister-in-law to the kitchen without a trace of displeasure on her face.

There were only Zhaojia's mother and son left in the room. Zhaojia pointed to Cao Yong with a cold face and said, "You idiot, tell me, who made you?" , Said: "Yes, it must be Cao Yong! You have listened to him since you were a child, and this time you made the appointment! This bastard is the most cunning, and he came out after beating him alone. Back then , Nonglin Xiazhai hid his mind, and now the property that the public can afford is all under his name."

Seeing that his mother was still chattering, Cao Song’s eyes were filled with pain, and he said, “Mother, don’t you know what’s in your mind? The eldest brother’s property was given by the Long Live Lord and the Sixteenth Lord. Sister-in-law For the dowry, how did they occupy the property of the father? On the contrary, the eldest brother sold the Zhuangzi left by the grandmother to buy the mountain land, and added two sacrificial fields and a Zhuangzi to the father. Doesn’t mother know about this?”

Zhao Jia was so choked that he couldn't say anything. Thinking of the past, he gritted his teeth and said, "Isn't this what it means to be cheap and good-looking? In the early years, the old lady only said that she was a small Zhuangzi, and it was nothing to leave it to the eldest grandson. Good guy, this is the time In Jingli, we know what a small village is. It is a big village with hundreds of hectares of land. Isn’t this partiality? You are also grandsons, and each of you only got a few thousand taels of marriage silver, but Cao Yong got it Tens of thousands of acres of fertile land. If he doesn’t buy a communist, how would he feel?”

Seeing Zhaojia's plausible words, Cao Song felt tired, looked at her and said: "Mother, no matter whether grandma is partial or not, there is no doubt that Zhuangzi is private property left to elder brother. When we were in the south, even if it was to pay off the deficit, I sold my property in the public house, but my life is still easy. There are nearly 80 people in the family, do they live on the salary of [-] taels from their father? Isn’t it the money earned by the elder brother? It’s the same in Beijing. Where is the mistreatment? I was afraid that my mother would be short of money, so I set up Zhuangzi for expenses. What exactly does elder brother owe us? What is mother making such troubles for?" At the end, there was already a little sadness in his tone.

Mrs. Zhao Jia was stunned by a series of "what" questions, came to her senses, frowned and said: "What kind of nonsense are you talking about? Since there is no family separation, what are the public expenses? Your uncle is not good at managing the family. , Lost the ancestor's property, I haven't complained yet, is it true that Dafang wants to be wronged? Cao Yong is the eldest son and grandson, the pillar of the family, shouldn't it be appropriate to borrow his strength?"

Cao Song listened to his mother's unreasonable reasoning, and thought of his brother's suffering in the capital these years, he was really speechless.

He stood up and said, "Mother, the bead farm is a property that my uncle bought back then. Even if the public money was used, it should be distributed to us. If we have the previous Zhuangzi, we should support it, right? If not, son This guard is short, so my elder brother sent 6000 taels of silver to the adults at the guard office. Also, this month, the marriage between my son and the third child cost a few thousand taels of silver from the public account. If it is not enough, Mother just thinks about the third sister, who is the father's daughter, but the dowry bought by uncle, aunt, and elder brother, shouldn't these be made up for?"

Zhao Jia's eyes were wide open, he raised his neck, and said, "Where did you settle accounts like this? You fool, you are really stupid outside, not inside, and you have no income. You and your brothers will chew on it in the future." What, do you drink northwest wind?"

"Did mother drink the northwest wind?" Cao Song turned his head sideways and looked at his mother, with a pleading face on his face: "There are three villages in the family, and the income is thousands of taels a year. Why is it not enough? Mother, are you right?" Do you want to continue the quarrel? You can't save some face for your sons, how can you let us face uncle and them?"

"Ah... I'm mad at you, you unfilial son, you want to make me mad at you..." Zhao Jia was left speechless by Cao Song's words, and after a while, he stroked his chest and cried out loudly.

Hearing the sharp cry, Cao Song felt a splitting headache, frowning and strode out.

Cao Shuo looked at his brother's back, hesitated for a moment, and bowed his head out.

The room was empty, only Zhao Jia was left alone.

Zhao Jia felt his chest tightened and he couldn't breathe. He clutched his front, his face showing pain.

After a long while, she leaned her neck back, closed her eyes, and cried out loudly, patted the kang while crying, and said, "Cao Quan, you damn ghost, why did you leave so early, and stay here alone?" I am alone in this world, and my son is trying to embarrass me when he grows up. Why didn't I die sooner, and I got their wish... Woooo... Cao Quan, you bloody ghost, Let your good brother and nephew bully me..."

The more she talked, the more sad she became. She cried heart-rendingly, as long as she cried out all the hardships of the past few years when her husband passed away.

Cao Song and Cao Shuo stood in the yard, listening to their mother's heart-piercing cries, the two brothers' faces were tight and they didn't say a word...

Xifu, Lanyuan.

Cao Yin and Li Shi sat on the kang, Cao Yong and Chu Yu sat on the chairs on the ground.

The atmosphere in the room was a little dull. Mrs. Li looked at her husband, then at her son and daughter-in-law, sighed, and said, "Since the master doesn't speak, I'll start nagging you. Money is just something external to you, even if you want to divide the family , After all, you are your dearest relatives, so don't hurt your peace."

Seeing Li's worry, Cao Yong comforted him: "Mother don't worry, even if you don't worry about your son, you should also know that father will not treat your nephews badly."

Mrs. Li hesitated for a moment, with a complicated look on her face, and said to Cao Yong: "You guys are juniors, what's wrong with the elders, don't hold grudges too much. The second wife just doesn't listen well, and sometimes she has a bad temper, but it's not bad intentions. man of."

Cao Yong nodded, feeling very helpless.

When getting along with each other on weekdays, Mrs. Li also blamed Mrs. Zhao Jia, but she just thought of her well and tolerated it every time.

If it weren't for this, Zhao Jia wouldn't have been so domineering if he had picked up the elder sister-in-law's spectrum earlier.

These are all things to say later, and it is useless to mention them, so let’s not talk about them.

Cao Yin pondered for a while, then Fang raised his head and said to Cao Yong: "Speaking of which, there is really nothing in the property of Gongzhong, except for the antique calligraphy and paintings left by the ancestors, which are the Zhuchang in the south and the few sacrificial fields you added in Beijing. The place is too ostentatious and easy to attract attention. According to my idea, if you convert the capital over there and add two Zhuangzi to Erfang, do you think it is appropriate?" Having said that, he looked at Chuyu again, and said: " Daughter-in-law, you are also a member of the family, you and Yong'er add up, would you like to divide like this?"

Cao Yong is not a calculating person, and Chu Yu has never been stingy about money.

Now that Cao Yin said so, the young couple naturally nodded in agreement and said nothing else.

Dividing the family is nothing but peace of mind...
