from widow to dame

Chapter 117

The Marquis of Yongping couldn't get any money, so Su Huiniang had to pay it back.

This is something that can’t be helped. In the eyes of outsiders, Yan Hongzhen is now the most promising member of the Yan family. If the old lady’s funeral is shabby, everyone will laugh at Yan Hongzhen. The so-called family ugliness should not be publicized. The reason is that no matter how bad the inside is, the outside must be kind, dear and loving.

So under Yan Hongzhen's black face, Su Huiniang took out 2000 taels of silver from her own family to make up for the shortfall.With the money, all the subsequent processes will be natural. Su Huiniang strategized and commanded calmly, which really calmed down many people. Even the wives who came to pay their respects praised it.It is said that Mrs. Wu Jinbo was born in a small family in the countryside, but she did not expect to be so capable. After handling things in such an orderly manner, people can't find a little bit of etiquette, which is really amazing.

So, after the seven-seven-forty-nine-day waterway dojo was over, Su Huiniang called Zhu Shi and Wen Shi to match the accounts, saying: I have completed the task.Mrs. Zhu took Su Huiniang's hand on the spot and kept thanking her, her eyes were almost red. On the contrary, it was Mrs. Wen who seemed to be inquiring about her family's income while talking. For a while, the second brother was now in a high position. There must be a lot of money on hand, and after a while, I will look at this white jade bracelet on my sister-in-law's wrist, it must be worth a lot of money!Su Huiniang was annoyed by her questions, and said on the spot that it was time for her to leave.

However, at this moment, Mother Xing suddenly walked in, expressing that Mrs. Qi had an invitation.Su Huiniang raised her eyebrows, and went to Qi's courtyard together with Zhu Shi and Wen Shi who were also puzzled. This place was obviously much dilapidated than when Su Huiniang first came to the Hou Mansion as a guest, and there was a bleak atmosphere everywhere. As soon as the three of them entered the main hall, they saw that all members of the Yan family were present. Su Huiniang first greeted the elders, then walked slowly to Yan Hongzhen and sat down beside him.

The husband and wife looked at each other. Obviously, some of them didn't understand what kind of medicine was going to be sold in Qi's gourd.

"I don't know what's the reason why mother asked us all to come here?" Yan Hongbo, the current Marquis of Yongping, asked "doubtfully".

I saw Mrs. Qi taking a sip of the warm tea in the cup, neither salty nor weak, but what she said afterwards was like a thunderbolt in everyone's ears: "Today, I would like to invite elder brother, second elder brother, and you The junior came here for the purpose of separating the family."

"Separation???" The old man stood upright, his eyes wide open, and he yelled, "Separation, separation, whoever allows you to separate, I don't agree!"

Qi glanced at him coldly, her eyes were full of sarcasm, her husband's elder brother was the most idiot rascal, when he was in his hometown, he was just a gangster, he didn't do childbirth on weekdays, but was like It was a blood-sucking leech that kept sucking his relatives dry, and he felt that it was only right and shameless, so Qi had long since hated him to death.

"Oh? Big brother disagrees." Qi said that she changed her face when she said that she changed her face. She was as cold as ice just now, but at this moment she was crying like rain, so pitiful: "Brother, pat your conscience and think about it. Why did my mother suddenly Passed away. We originally had a lot of family background in our house, not to mention those left by Haoran are the Yan family itself, which is also a rich family, but now, we can't even afford the money for my mother's funeral, not only that , those creditors of yours will make a fuss at the gate of the mansion..." Qi's accusation was like a sharp dagger, scraping off the fig leaf covering Uncle Yan's body, and immediately wiped all The embarrassment is all on the table.

At this time, everyone's expressions changed accordingly. In all fairness, Su Huiniang agreed with the separation of the family.First of all, the old lady has passed away, so it is common sense for the family to be separated, and outsiders will not say anything when it is rumored.Secondly, after the family split, Su Huiniang and the others had less scruples about the Yongping Hou Mansion. Anyway, they also lived alone outside now, and the separation can be regarded as gaining a reputation.

But it is obvious that not everyone thinks this way, not to mention the Eldest Master, but the second bedroom. From the face of Zhu Shi, it is obvious that she is not willing. Although she usually treats Qi Shi, Yu Shi, etc. People complained quite a bit, but as the saying goes, it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and their family finally has enough food and clothing in the Hou's mansion. If they were separated and moved outside, what would they do for a living?
"As soon as the old lady leaves, you want to drive us out?" Mrs. Yu of the big house suddenly jumped up, her old face flushed, and she pointed at Mrs. Qi's nose and scolded: "Dream your spring and autumn dream, grandma told me You, no one can drive us away from the Hou Mansion."

At this time, Mrs. Yu also realized that Yan Hongbo is indeed the Marquis of Yongping now, but he was adopted under the name of Sanfang, and he recognized Yan Haoran as his father and Qi as his mother, so he is not considered a big family at all. people.If the family is separated now, it will definitely not be the Qi family who are separated, but they who are the biological parents.

Mrs. Yu had dreamed of Mrs. Hou's dream for half her life, and it was about to come true. How could she tolerate the situation where she was kicked out, so she immediately yelled at him regardless. Seeing Uncle Yan next to him, he could be regarded as finding a teammate. Now, the husband and wife went to battle together, spraying obscenities at Qi.

Qi's was quite patient, and she was so indifferent that she had suffered. After a while, when they were all tired, she turned her head to Yan Hongbo, who was always indifferent, and asked Yan Hongzhen, "What do you two mean?"

Yan Hongzhen raised the corners of his mouth with a half-smile on the spot, looked thoughtfully at Yan Hongbo across the way, and said in a very unserious manner: "Whatever."

But Yan Hongbo's words were somewhat beyond everyone's expectations: "What mother said is very true!" He bowed slightly and said in a respectful tone: "The child is all according to mother's orders."

"Hongbo, what are you talking about!" Yu Shi stared in disbelief, pointed at Qi Shi and shouted: "Your parents are about to be kicked out by this woman, do you know why are you still here?" Saying this, are you my son?"

Yan Hongbo looked at Yu Shi who was flaring his teeth and claws, his eyes flashed with disgust, he was cold and selfish by nature, in his heart all the properties of the Hou Mansion belonged to him, but now they were all defeated by the Elder Lord, this defeat It's all his money.Can Yan Hongbo not be angry?He remembered what Qi had said to him: "You yourself know best the temperament of your biological parents, that is a bottomless pit with endless failures, is it possible that you have to wait until even this house is pawned before you can wake up? "Separation, must be separation, only separation, he can justifiably get rid of these two big burdens.Yan Hongbo clenched his fist firmly.Su Huiniang also gradually noticed something from the side, she can't blame the Qi family for being so confident today, Ganqing has already colluded with others!

"What's the big aunt talking about? We're separated, and you can come back often in the future. A family is always a family. Could it be that we're separated?" Yan Hongbo said coolly.Her son calls his mortal enemy mother, but he calls himself auntie. Yu's heart can no longer be described as angry. She is sad, desperate, unbelievable. Son, suddenly rolled his eyes and passed out.There is no need to mention the series of farces that followed. All in all, no matter how much Uncle Yan makes noise and scolds, it will not change the fact that the family is separated.The Qi family thought it was well prepared, even the account books and land deeds in the mansion were ready.

"The production of Zhuangzi has not been reported this year, so the remaining money on the account is only 820 taels of silver." Qi said indifferently, pointing to the account book in his hand one by one: "According to the rules, the 730 mu of money given by the emperor The field cannot be moved, the ancestral land of the Yan family has a total of [-] mu, the third house occupies five floors, the remaining big house and second house each have two shares, and Hongzhen has one share..."

Su Huiniang sat down and listened carefully. In fact, all the Yan family can offer now is these lands.She quickly calculated, if all goes well, then their family can also get about [-] mu of land, a dignified Marquis's mansion, but they can only get these things when the family is separated, which is really depressing .

Qi had been talking for more than two quarters of an hour before he stopped talking: "If there is no doubt, how about acting like this?"

Yan Hongbo nodded immediately, as the saying goes, long pain is worse than short pain!

Seeing that there was nothing to be done, Uncle Yan over there also became more honest, but he still said: "Wait a minute, there is another problem."

Everyone looked over.

Uncle Yan's face was a little embarrassed, he gritted his teeth, and showed a rascal face: "It's okay to separate the family, but we have to pay off the family's foreign debts."

"What, you want us to help you pay back the money?" The first one to jump up was none other than Zhu Shi, and she was about to "get out of touch with them forever." She was as cowardly as ever, stretched Neck shouted: "That's a debt you owed outside, you pay it yourself, don't even think about taking another coin from us."

In front of me, the second sister-in-law, who is usually submissive, dares to yell at me like this, the elder's face is even darker, and he spits out the bottom of the pot. He raised his hand and was about to slap Zhu's mouth, but he was cut off halfway. It is true that he is born dumb and can't speak, but at this moment, those red eyes are revealing his anger.
