The daughter of the splendid good fortune is respected

Chapter 406
Xiao Maoheng snorted coldly, "Go to the Song family if you have the ability. The Song family is our in-laws. You ask the Song family to give us a bowl of food for the fourth bedroom. If you can do it, I will listen to you from now on." In the words It's all sarcasm.

Liao gritted her teeth, "Master, don't look down on my concubine's body, hmph, in the future, my master may have to rely on my concubine's dowry to support me."

"Shut up. You stupid woman, haven't you thought about it? 40 taels is indeed a lot, but what is it compared to the old man? As long as the old man has the sea god needle, our Xiao family will not be able to collapse. The few 10 taels given away will be earned back sooner or later."

Liao was not happy, "earn it back? You don't have any minerals, how can you earn money? Do you think the Xiao family without the mine is still the old Xiao family? Master, wake up. Even if the old man comes back, it will not help. Xiao No one can stop the decline of the family. Since this is the case, I think it is better to separate the family. Whether the future is good or bad, it is all your own business."

"Fart." Xiao Maoheng simply sat up, "The old man and the old lady are still there, if you dare to say something about separating the family, I will beat you up." Xiao Maoheng was upset, so he simply got up, dressed and went out.

Liao called from behind: "It's so late, where is the master going?"

"You don't have to worry about it, just take care of yourself."

Xiao Maoheng went upstairs, and the whole Xiao family was in darkness, except that the big room was still lit.Looking at the fifth room again, the fifth room has already gone to sleep.Xiao Maoheng guessed what Dafang was doing now.

Tan Shi, Xiao Mingzhen and Xiao Minghui are arguing.

Mrs. Tan said directly: "40 taels is naturally enough to sell the Xiao family's property. But in this way, the Xiao family will completely collapse. I am afraid that I will never see the Xiao family stand up again in this life." That day. I have lived most of my life, good and bad are the same. But you are different, you all have a bright future, and the decline of the Xiao family has a profound impact on your future. Especially you Minghui, in the future you How do you do business? How do you support the Xiao family? It’s where your father is an official in the capital. With that little salary, you’re afraid you’ll starve to death. Without the family’s subsidy, what will your father, an official, do.”

Xiao Mingzhen said firmly: "Mother, even if the family goes bankrupt, we have to rescue the old man. With the old man around, the Xiao family will not be broken up. Without the old man, the first, fourth, and fifth rooms will fall apart in a blink of an eye. This One point, I think the eldest brother is also clear."

Xiao Minghui nodded helplessly, "Mother, the third brother is right. For the sake of the Xiao family, we must rescue the old man. If we don't save the old man, our Xiao family will become unworthy descendants and everyone spurns us. Don't talk about continuing to do business, just It is a problem to gain a foothold in the territory of Zhongzhou."

Tan's face was gloomy, "You all think so? So what if the Xiao family falls apart, just treat it as a separation."

"Mother, this family can't be divided." Xiao Mingzhen said earnestly, "Mother, let's say our eldest son, father is an official in the capital, thanks to the care of the Han family. Otherwise, the father would have been punished. If the family was separated, the Han family would naturally I won't take care of my father anymore. The Han family only needs to take care of the Wufang family."

After a pause, Xiao Mingzhen continued: "Actually speaking, the division of the family has no effect on the fifth room. I remember that the fifth aunt holds a large amount of dowry in her hand. With this dowry in hand, the fifth room does not have to worry about spending money. Yes. As for the fourth house, Zhuangzi under the name of the fourth aunt opened a mine. With this mine in hand, the fourth house can live a good life. The rest is our eldest house. What? Nine out of ten minerals cannot be kept, and how much business can the remaining shops do. If they are run on by other aristocratic families, those shops will have to close down. Father will also have various problems in the capital , It is not impossible to be dismissed from office in the end. Mother, the separation of the family actually has the greatest impact on our eldest family."

Tan's expression changed, and she looked at Xiao Minghui, "Minghui, do you also feel that the separation of the family has the greatest impact on our eldest family?"

Xiao Minghui did not answer directly, but said: "Looking at the meaning of the Dongfu side, they are bound to win those small mines. Without these mines, the Xiao family's life will be difficult if they only rely on the business in the shop. It will only become more and more difficult. Mother, Ming Qi and Ming Ying haven't talked about their marriage yet. In the current situation, if you want to talk about a better marriage, dowry is indispensable. This is another big expense. And the third brother will become an official in the future, Money is also needed for management. In addition, the dowry for the third brother’s marriage also needs to be prepared. Dividing the family will dilute the Xiao family’s property. For our eldest family, there are disadvantages rather than benefits. No separation, everyone eats in the same rice cooker , with the old man here, he can always support the past. Father will continue to be taken care of by the Han family. And the son thought that after the old man came out, the old man would definitely ask the fifth aunt to communicate with the Han family in the capital. With the help of the Han family in the capital, Our Xiao family might be able to get up again."

Xiao Mingzhen was not so optimistic, "Whether the Han family will help, and how to help, it is too early to say. In short, we must not separate the three houses in the West Mansion. There are definitely disadvantages and no advantages if we divide the family. family, then the old man must be rescued. Although a large sum of money was spent, it can calm people's hearts and bring a good reputation to the Xiao family. Mother, there are still tens of thousands of taels of silver out there. Let's take it back as soon as possible. Come, there is no need to sell so many properties.”

Mrs. Tan frowned, "An accident happened to our Xiao family. Before the situation became clear, there were still people watching. Sun Cheng'an was happy to give the money. But today you didn't bring the old man back, and Sun Cheng'an's face has changed. The last 3 taels, This bastard drags left and right and refuses to give it." Tan gnashed her teeth, Sun Chengan, a bastard, dared to covet the money of Mo Xiao's family, he was really tired of working.

Xiao Mingzhen frowned.

Xiao Minghui said, "If it weren't for my son, I wouldn't believe it if I pulled a group of people from the mine tomorrow morning and smashed the Cheng'an gambling house. He would dare not give me the money then."

"This matter is not allowed." Xiao Mingzhen hurriedly dissuaded, "Now that the government is staring at our Xiao family, we must not make mistakes at this time and give the government an excuse. Let the government have an excuse to continue to seal up the remaining mines."

"Then what should we do? Are we just watching Sun Chengan greedy for our Xiao family's silver?" Xiao Minghui was furious, "That's 3 taels, not 3000 taels. Now one tael of silver can't wait to be spent as ten taels." Do you know how much we can do with that 3 taels of silver?"

Xiao Mingzhen said with a straight face, "Anyway, you can't bring people to the casino to make trouble."

"Then what do you think we should do?" Xiao Minghui roared angrily.

Xiao Mingzhen said extremely calmly: "It's inconvenient for our Xiao family to show up, but other families may not have to. 3 taels of silver, if you give 1 taels, there must be someone who is willing to go to Cheng'an Casino. Also, We can also rely on the power of the Wangfu. With the help of the Wangfu, we don't need to spend a penny, and we can get back the 3 taels."
