Chapter 39

In fact, You Ran can fully understand the idea of ​​the big family and the three families being rich and poor. Human nature is like this. I only think about why the three brothers born to one mother have such different circumstances, but I don’t want to think about other people’s wealth. There is no such thing as a free lunch.It is no surprise that this idea of ​​equalizing the rich and the poor when you see others living better than yourself has been passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years and still exists until the 21st century, and even has a tendency to flourish.The modern social insurance system and taxation system all have elements of robbing the rich and giving to the poor. The society needs justice, and more importantly, security. The large gap between the rich and the poor is a very large factor of social instability. The rich want to have strong rights to life and property. protection, it is necessary to bear more tax obligations.

The society is stable and prosperous, and those who benefit the most are the rich and property owners. They should pay more taxes for this; His official reputation is very important, whether his family is harmonious or not has a great influence on him. If he pays a little price to maintain a good image, it is actually worth it, and the eldest and third families are also sure of this.

The idea of ​​the big house and the third house is understandable leisurely, but the practice of the big house and the third house is very contemptuous.Leaving aside the fact that the three brothers had already separated, the separation sheet clearly stated that "after the separation, no matter who is good or bad, or who makes a lot of money, no competition is allowed." Let's just talk about where the wealth of the second wife of the Meng family came from.If the wealth of the second room is entirely or mainly based on Meng Lai, then the big family and the third room are all rich and poor, which is a bit of a reason, but most of the wealth of the second room is the dowry brought by the Zhong family. The principle of calculating the daughter-in-law's dowry, the ten miles of red makeup that the Marquis of Ji'an married to the Zhong family was for his daughter and grandson!Therefore, the practice of the big house and the three houses is completely unreasonable.

Especially when the second wife has been solely responsible for supporting the elderly wife and supporting the third wife for so many years, the actions of the eldest and third bedroom are even more shameless, and it is not too much to describe it as despicable and nasty.

It's just that those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes. The first and third families are in poor conditions, so they are not afraid of being bad-faith and ugly, but the second family can't afford to gamble or lose.

"It seems that, as they wish, the rich and the poor will be equalized." Meng Zhengxuan said sadly.

With a leisurely and sarcastic smile, isn't the 5000-year history of China a history full of compromise and tolerance?The gap between the rich and the poor in the Meng family is too large, which has become a powerful destabilizing factor. Dafang and Sanfang lack people's hearts. In order to stabilize people's hearts and maintain family harmony, it is necessary to equalize the rich and the poor. Law.

Meng Zhengxian raised his eyebrows to object, and said flatly, "Uneven! Why do you spoil them so much?" After all, he was young and energetic.

Yue Ran said softly, "Father values ​​love and loyalty the most, and I'm afraid he won't let the first wife and third wife suffer."

This is a patriarchal society, the family and the country are of the same structure, and the family has a great influence on the individual. Meng Yun and Meng Lai are brothers. Yu Shui, how can he ignore it?
It's just that the big and third houses can ask for a lot of money, and the second house can also pay back the money on the spot.There are many ways to equalize the rich and the poor, and even setting up a porridge shed to give out porridge can be regarded as one of the ways to equalize the rich and the poor.

"The eldest aunt is always gentle and obedient to the eldest uncle, but her eyes are very firm. It is obvious that she is a woman who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and she will never obey her husband and son-in-law. I guess, the eldest house is actually the head of the family. The one who decides is the eldest aunt." Lei Ran slowly said her guess, the more she said, the more she felt that her guess was very accurate, and the other three people thought it made sense, "Third aunt is just making a small fuss to take advantage of it. , the eldest aunt was born in the Le'an Gu family, a daughter of a wealthy family, her vision is high, three walnuts and two dates, she doesn't pay much attention to it, it will take some thinking."

First of all, lower her expectations, sighed leisurely and helplessly.

To say that the Gu family is also a sad woman. The Gu family of Le'an is a big family in Shandong. There is a big feature: very serious patriarchy, the family only focuses on cultivating boys, girls are just ordinary education, grow up in a regular manner, the dowry will not be rich when they leave the cabinet, and the family will not cultivate sons-in-law after leaving the cabinet.Gu's family background is not much worse than Zhong's, but she got nothing from her natal family, neither the dowry of ten miles of red makeup, nor the support of her natal family for her husband and son-in-law. Unfortunately, she married an honest but useless man , so, life goes from bad to worse.

In the first confrontation, if you can lower her expectations, it will be considered as achieving your goal. If you can test her bottom line, it will be even better. You Ran thought so, and asked Meng Zhengxuan and the other three generously, "I'll go find out the details first."

Meng Zhengxuan's face was serious, "Of course it's the eldest brother." Leisurely reminded him, "Big brother, it's more convenient for girls to talk to the eldest aunt. It's not convenient for the elder sister who is about to leave the cabinet to show up, so I'm the only one left. "

Yue Ran pursed her lips and smiled, "Let Fifth Younger Sister go, she's a clever little kid, she might be better than me to go." Meng Zhengxuan wanted to say something more, Yue Ran pointed to the table Zhang Zhi smiled and said, "Look, brother, how clear the analysis is, she must know it in her heart, don't worry, brother."

Meng Zhengxuan looked at Youran apologetically, "Theoretically, I should be the elder brother who protects younger siblings." Youran smiled and said, "Elder brother usually loves younger siblings the most, how could I not know? I should be let. Anyway, I'm young, so even if I say something wrong, it's okay. My aunt can't argue with my children. If I fail, I'll ask my brothers and sisters to help. Fortunately, the old lady was just scared, so she can stop for a few days , let's not rush, take your time." But don't be too slow, you have to make things right before Yueran leaves the court, otherwise I'm really afraid that Yueran will have a demon girl before her wedding.Yueran is a good girl, let her get married smoothly.

After the four of them agreed to leave, they returned to Hanfangxuan leisurely, startled, Huang Xin's crying eyes were like peaches, and asked sobbingly, "Good boy, your daddy, what's the matter with him?" In the past, she hugged Huang Xin to comfort her, and she swore that "Father is fine", and coaxed Huang Xin for a long time.

After coaxing Huang Xin to sleep, she looked up to the sky and sighed leisurely: Sure enough, there are too many wives, okay? Look at Zhong Shi and Huang Xin, both of them are worried about Meng Lai?It's not fair, a man can love more than one woman at the same time, but a woman can only love one man.

In the morning of the next day, she was too lazy to sleep, and ran to the study to see Meng Lai early in the morning. Meng Zhengxuan, Meng Zhengxian, and Yue Ran also arrived early. Seeing that her children were clearly worried about her, Meng Lai was moved and said with a smile, "Father is fine." , do what you should do."

Seeing that Meng Lai looked good, the four of them felt relieved. They first sent Meng Lai to the Yamen, and when they came back, they smiled and said with a leisurely smile, "Brother next spring is important, go to the Imperial College to study; the eldest sister is getting married; the second brother is going to Xishan Let's train in the camp, I will train at home."

Yue Ran took her hand and sighed leisurely, "It turned out that I was still a child, and I would only follow behind my sister, and I would do whatever my sister told me to do. Now it's better, I can stand alone."

Meng Zhengxuan said sternly, "Fifth sister has worked hard." She stuck out her tongue leisurely, "It's not hard, I really like doing this." Her mischievous look made the three of them laugh, although they were not at ease, they had to go separately.

Gu Shi is a middle-aged woman with a solid appearance, she looks very trustworthy and amiable, she sits next to Meng Yun, she looks respectful to Meng Yun, but very kind to Youran, Youran's stomach is funny, her face He went up but didn't show it, he greeted the couple naively and reported Meng Lai's situation, "Father went to the Yamen early in the morning, and it seems that nothing has happened. Doctor Tang said that he should not be angry in the future, and he must take good care of him." A gratified smile floated on Meng Yun's honest face, "It's fine, it's fine."

Gu smiled and said, "I just said that the second master will be fine, but the uncle has a deep brotherhood and is very worried."

"Uncle" and "Second Master", these titles, You Ran really wanted to roll her eyes at Mrs. Gu.

Meng Yun knew that Youran, like Meng Zhengyu, was learning to write contemporary prose, and it was difficult for him to take the test at the moment, "My son said to Yan Yuan, "You can do it if you use it, and you can hide it if you discard it. But you and I have a husband. How can we solve the problem?"

"It is advisable for a sage to practice and hide, and he will show it to those who are capable." After a little thought, he has blurted out.
