The daughter of the splendid good fortune is respected

Chapter 567 Official Separation (2)
Xiao Maolin snorted coldly, "It seems that you are very clear about these things, so it will be easy to handle. It is impossible to pay more silver taels for the four and five houses, so I will put the words here first, and you can start from Take 1 taels from the cashier. If it is not enough, you can use your own private money to make up for it. If there is any excess, I will give it to you. In short, you will take care of this matter for me."

Mrs. Tan frowned, "What does the master mean by this? Do you suspect that I am greedy for money?"

Picking up the teacup, Xiao Maolin said indifferently, "You have a criminal record for this kind of thing. If you want me to trust you, you have to do a good job. How can I trust you even if you don't want to do it to save face?" You are innocent."

Tan shivered with anger, and wanted to roar at Xiao Maolin.At a critical moment, Xiao Mingzhen walked in, "Father, the housekeeper has encountered some difficulties, and I don't dare to be self-reliant, so I invite my father to come over and give me an idea."

Xiao Maolin put down his teacup, "Since there is something going on outside, I'll leave first. I hope you can come up with a charter when you reconcile the accounts tomorrow morning."

Tan Shi was so angry, Xiao Mingzhen and Tan Shi winked, telling Tan Shi to bear it, and must not be impulsive.

After Xiao Maolin left, Mrs. Tan patted the table and roared, "Mingzhen, what are you doing to stop me? You heard what your father said. He even suspected that I was greedy for money and said that I had a criminal record. It is really unreasonable. "

"Mother, calm down, father is not thinking clearly now, and he needs to be patient in everything." Xiao Mingzhen persuaded him softly.

Tan's heart was filled with anger, "It's unreasonable, it's really unreasonable. I have only been in charge of the house for a few days, and before I can change the personnel, something happened to the old man. Most of the people who bought goods were arranged by those women in the backyard. Speaking of Tanmo, it is also those girls who are Tanmo. Your father knew the truth, but still planted the matter on my head, it is really deceiving people too much."

"Mother, this is not the time to worry about this matter. Listening to what my father said, my father clearly still remembers the past. This is taking advantage of the opportunity to make trouble for my mother. If my mother is furious, argue with my father. If you don't, then you will fall into a trap and make others happy. Therefore, during this time, mother, no matter how much grievance you have, you will bear it first. Those who buy, your son will also be watched. Wouldn't it be nice for Mother to catch them all in one go."

What Xiao Mingzhen said was justified and well-founded, even though Mrs. Tan was full of resentment, she had to endure it. "You're right. If you can't bear it, you can make big plans. Fortunately, the old man is a sensible person. Before he died, he beat your father so that your father didn't dare to mess around. But this time I suffered such a big loss, then These women are afraid that they are complacent. You have to avenge this revenge. Mingzhen, you have to think of an idea for your mother, otherwise how will your mother gain a foothold in the mansion. "

"Mother, don't worry, the son is always on the mother's side. It is not appropriate to cause troubles about the old man's affairs, so as not to spread bad gossip. After a while, the mansion will settle down. At that time, the mother will take care of the servants, and the son will help the mother." Do it."

Xiao Mingzhen kindly tried to persuade her, and then Tan shi held back her anger.

These things, four and five rooms are naturally not clear.In the early morning of the second day, the fourth room and the fifth room came to the meeting hall to discuss the account book with the eldest room.

Xiao Maolin didn't want to tear up with the Liao family, it was too embarrassing and didn't fit his status.So Xiao Maolin is very straightforward, no matter how much the overspending is, it will be borne by Dafang.Except for the 5000 taels for the four-bedroom and five-bedroom, there is no need to pay for anything else.Now everyone is keeping their filial piety, fighting and snatching for a little money, it is really ugly, it is rumored that the only remaining face of the Xiao family is gone.

Now that Xiao Maolin has already stated his position, Mrs. Han naturally has no objection, and Mrs. Liao of the fourth room is not easy to pursue.

Next, Xiao Maolin asked the accountant to send 1 taels to Tan Shi, so that Tan Shi could balance the account.If the accounts are not clear, the responsibility for this matter lies with Tan.Tan was so angry that she really wanted to rush to the backyard with a knife and kill those women.But with Xiao Mingzhen's orders and Xiao Mingqi by his side, Tan could only bear with it, and took 2000 taels of private money to settle the accounts.

It's really annoying to think about it, other people's housekeepers are just making money.And only her housekeeper would pay money back.Those women in the backyard would probably die from laughing.Let's not talk about how Tan will deal with Xiao Maolin's concubines and aunts in the future. In short, because of this incident, Tan has always held grudges. When he can use means, none of those people will end well.

The accounts were cleaned up, and everyone closed their doors and kept their filial piety for Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao.Everyone stays out of their courtyards unless necessary.Even Dafang's side calmed down, knowing that the trouble at this time was that the old birthday star ate arsenic and hated his life.

In a blink of an eye, it entered midsummer, and in a blink of an eye, it was early autumn again.When the weather cooled down, the Xiao family also experienced the warm filial piety of Mr. Xiao.

On this day, everyone gathered in the meeting hall, and invited scribes from the Yamen to be middlemen.Housekeeper Xiao took out Mr. Xiao's signed last words for everyone to see.If there is no problem, start to deal with the separation of the family.

After careful inspection of the three houses, there is no difference from what Mr. Xiao said at the beginning.The scribe asked again as usual, and if no one objected, the family would be divided according to Mr. Xiao's last words.

No one objected, so the separation went much smoother.The clerk wrote the document and asked the three heads to sign it.It is divided into four parts, one for each of the three houses, and the remaining one is used for archiving.If the paperwork is done well, the money will be worth two cents.It's time to take care of everything, Han said directly, "Since everything is done, we will move out from the fifth room today."

Xiao Maolin wanted to persuade him to stay, "Why are the fifth siblings so anxious, why don't they stay for a few more days?"

Han's attitude was very firm, "No. The mansion is not spacious, and there are so many people living in it, it is really cramped. Besides, when the old man was still there, I told the old man that I wanted to move out. Now Now that the family has been separated, there is no reason for our fifth room to live in the mansion. Mingyu, let's go with your mother. We will move out today."

"My daughter listens to my mother."

Si Fang was a little embarrassed, but Liao was straightforward enough, "Uncle, our Si Fang has no business in hand now, and we haven't bought a house. I still have to disturb Uncle for the time being, please forgive me."

Xiao Maolin was very cheerful, "The fourth brother and sister are gone. At the beginning, the old man told us two brothers to watch over and help each other. Now that your fourth wife is in trouble, we naturally have to help as much as possible."

"Thank you uncle and sister-in-law." Liao simply thanked her.

Xiao Mingyu followed Mrs. Han back to the five-bedroom courtyard. The luggage had already been packed a long time ago, and now he just waited for the carriage to arrive before leaving the house.

Xiao Mingzhen chased after him, "Sister Mingyu, although we have separated, we are all surnamed Xiao, and we are still a family. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, just send someone to me, and I will definitely help."
