The daughter of the splendid good fortune is respected

Chapter 418 Cutting Meat (3)
Xiao Bozong fell back angrily, "Okay, what a sharp mouth. Xiao Maotong, this is your daughter-in-law, that's how she talks to this old man."

Xiao Maotong jumped up, turned around and slapped Mrs. Xie, "Who dared to talk to Tong's father like that. Still don't apologize?"

Mrs. Xie felt ruthless in her heart, tightly clenched her fists, and said with a low eyebrow, "father-in-law, daughter-in-law made a mistake, please punish her father-in-law."

"I don't dare, the old man is not here to see you two, so that you don't get in the way of the old man's eyes. After leaving, the old man will go back to pack his luggage, and return to the Taoist temple today, so that he can live for a few more years." Xiao Bozong made up his mind this time When he had an idea, Ren Xiao Maotong said it wouldn't work if he broke his mouth.

Mr. Xiao asked someone to stop Xiao Maotong, "Nephew, where are you going? The affairs of our two families have not been settled yet, so you can leave soon after that."

Xiao Maotong was helpless, "I don't know what uncle is going to do, please tell me clearly."

Mr. Xiao sneered, "This time the Xiao family suffered a catastrophe, and everyone is working hard for the future of the Xiao family. As for the things your second wife did, I don't want to comment. My second son, tell me, what is your second wife thinking?" If what you say is reasonable, the old man will fulfill you."

Xiao Maotong and Xie Shi exchanged a look, Xie Shi nodded imperceptibly.Xiao Maotong looked upright, and then said: "Old man, we have no other requirements. It's just the rules left by the ancestors, that the division of the family without division of property is unworkable under the current situation. My nephew looks at the east mansion and the west mansion. It's better to separate completely. I don't know what the old man wants?"

Mr. Xiao nodded, "Okay, it happens that the old man also has this intention."

Xiao Maotong and Mrs. Xie were very surprised. They thought they were going to talk about it, but they didn't expect to agree so easily.However, if something goes wrong, there must be a demon, Mr. Xiao must still have a back trick.

Mr. Xiao also ignored what the two of them were thinking.He said directly: "Whether it's good to divide the family or divide the property, the old man has no objection. But how much money do you Dongfu plan to give out?"

Xiao Maotong was puzzled, "My nephew doesn't understand what the old man said."

Mr. Xiao sneered, "Don't you really understand? Something happened to the Xiao family, and your East Mansion took advantage of it. Now it's time for liquidation. This time, the Xiao family just donated over 50 taels of silver, plus the property they donated. , More than 20 taels. I don’t want too much, you give [-] taels to the West Mansion, and then our East and West Mansions will have nothing to do with each other in the future, and each will do its own thing. Everyone’s property is also clearly divided. "

Xiao Maotong's expression changed immediately, and he looked towards Mrs. Xie.Mrs. Xie frowned, stood up and said to Mr. Xiao: "The old man's calculation is not right. Three people, a total of 50 taels. On average, each person is less than 20. The old man is the head and patriarch of the Xiao family. To save the old man, it stands to reason that our Dongfu really wants to contribute. At first, our Dongfu gave 2 taels of silver. Later, the sister-in-law took back 10,000+ taels from the outside, but there were 7 taels from Dongfu .There is also the 10 taels stored in the bank, of which 8 to 20 taels belong to our Dongfu. There are also cash silver from those small mines, part of which is also from Dongfu. Calculated in this way, our Dongfu After that, we paid [-] to [-] taels of silver. The old man asked us to pay another [-] taels, what is the reason for that?"

Xiao Maotong nodded again and again, "That's not bad, old man, your accounts are not right."

Mr. Xiao said expressionlessly: "Really? The Xiao family lost nearly 50 taels directly, and millions of taels indirectly. Including those two big mines, we calculated in this way that our Xiao family lost 400 taels this time." There are three or four million taels of silver. And after this incident, our West Mansion has completely collapsed. Your East Mansion has saved yourself. Why, the old man lost several million taels of silver all at once, so why don’t you ask for 20 taels? Does it fit?"

"Master, that's not how the account is calculated." Mrs. Xie said forcefully.

Mr. Xiao sneered, "This is the old man's condition. If you want to share the property, you can give 20 taels. If you don't give it, then our two families will be wasted like this. Anyway, the old man doesn't care about this time. As for your Dongfu, you can see for yourself Let's do it." After a pause, Mr. Xiao said again: "If you dare to betray the ancestral teachings of the Xiao family and plot against our West Mansion, you must pay a small price. If you are not convinced, you can ask the Fan family to help you out. The old man wants to take a look. , Will the Fan family make such a move?"

Mr. Xiao was so powerful, but he shocked Xiao Maotong and Mrs. Xie.These two people originally wanted to get the property of Xifu, but they didn't get the property, and now they have to spend another 20 taels of silver.It's simply deceiving people too much.Xie's heart ached with anger, wishing to spit a mouthful of blood on Mr. Xiao's face.I have never seen such a shameless person, this is pure robbery.

Xiao Maotong wanted to argue, but Mrs. Xie held him back, "Master, let's go back first. We will discuss this matter after we go back."

Mr. Xiao nodded, "That's right, this matter really needs to be discussed carefully. If you spend 20 taels, it will be considered as a safe and smooth one. Otherwise, we will have no way to live in the West Mansion, and we can only rely on your East Mansion. At that time, Don't dislike our Xifu's appetite."

This is too shameless, Xie gritted her teeth, she really underestimated how shameless Mr. Xiao is.

Xiao Maotong left unwillingly, and planned to ask Xiao Bozong for help after returning.

Mr. Xiao watched the couple leave, and now he has the time to worry about his family affairs. "Boss daughter-in-law, don't you want to talk to me about the usury and Tongcheng'an gambling house?"

Tan's eyebrows were pleasing to the eye, and she didn't dare to speak loudly, "Master, my daughter-in-law made a mistake, please punish me."

"It seems that you can save yourself if you know your mistakes. Starting today, you hand over all the keys to the ledger, and you can ignore the affairs of the Xiao family in the future. After all these years, you have also gained a lot of benefits. The old man will not embarrass you. If you pay 5 taels, I won’t hold you accountable for this matter. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude to you.” Old Master Xiao said sharply.

Tan's face was full of pain, and his lips were trembling, "Master, 5 taels?"

"Why, don't you think it's too little? How about 10 taels?"

"No, no, my daughter-in-law doesn't mean that. It's just that 5 taels is too much, and my daughter-in-law doesn't have that much in total. And this time, in order to collect money, the interest was not confiscated, only the principal was collected." Tan shivered.

Mr. Xiao looked at the other party expressionlessly, "So what? Since you dare to do it, you must have the courage to bear the consequences. 5 taels, I will see the money in three days. If you dare to delay, the old man will Let me show you what the Xiao family's family rules are."

Tan thumped and knelt on the ground, almost speechless.

Mr. Xiao snorted coldly, and stopped looking at Mrs. Tan.Looking across the four rooms, Liao Shi, who was still thinking about the housekeeper, lowered his head in panic.The old man is too ruthless to provoke him.
