Everyone's eyes were focused on Mr. Hou. Mr. Hou was in a difficult position. He wanted the family to break up more than anyone else. But looking at Chunfeng's firm gaze and Liuli's pleading eyes, Mr. Hou said with a cold face: "Chun Feng." Feng, come back whenever you want, dad will take care of everything."
If Liuli can calm down after moving out, and there is still hope for the relationship between the two, then it is still worthwhile to separate the family. However, if Liuli still doesn't know what is good, he doesn't want Chunfeng to be angry outside. There was no reason for the princess to be divorced. Even if he risked his life, he would help Chunfeng escape from the sea of misery.
Youshi said sadly and angrily: "Master Hou, how can you agree?"
I expected the Marquis to use his majesty as the head of the family to persuade Chunfeng to give up this idea, but unexpectedly the Marquis actually agreed.
The Marquis helplessly looked at the grieving lady and said helplessly: "You sort out the property and give everything to Chunfeng."
"Dad, the family is going to be separated, what about us?" Chunli sneaked in at some point. When he heard about the family separation, he was very excited. Great, I don’t have to look at Youshi’s face when asking for money in the future.
The old Marquis had nowhere to vent his evil anger. When he heard such a question and saw the bashful look in his eyes, he immediately turned on him.
"What? Do you really want to separate the family?"
No matter how dull Chunli was, he could see that dark clouds were forming on his father's face, and he said tremblingly, "How can it be possible? I just came here and didn't listen to everything. It scared me. I definitely don't want to separate the family."
How could the old Marquis not see the duplicity in his words? He said angrily: "If you want to get out, just get out."
Chunli trembled and did not dare to speak anymore. But in his heart, he was complaining: Since the third brother has been divided, he can simply divide it. The third brother is lucky!
Youshi was so heartbroken that she didn't care about the family property, so she threw up her sleeves and left.
The Marquis called Chunfeng to the study. Chunli wanted to stay and see how to divide the money and how much he would give to his third brother. Seeing that everyone had left, Chunli walked away awkwardly.
Ye Jiayao and Liuli were the only ones left in the hall.
Liuli regarded Ye Jiayao as nothing but air and walked past her without looking away.
Ye Jiayao was unhappy and said, "Zhao Liuli, you don't love Chunfeng at all."
Liuli paused and said coldly: "You don't need to teach me, you are not qualified yet."
Ye Jiayao sneered: "The only one you love is yourself."
Liuli retorted: "Don't talk as if you are great. I admit that I can't beat you. You are the pearl in everyone's hands. I am the bug in the gutter that everyone despises. You can show off as much as you want, but I , I still won’t take you seriously.”
"What does it matter whether you see me or not? Do you think I will care?" Ye Jiayao sneered.
Liuli said expressionlessly: "I care, if it weren't for your presence, Chunfeng and I wouldn't be where we are today."
"Is it because of me that we are here today? Zhao Liuli, if you still can't figure out what the problem is, there will never be a chance for you and Chunfeng to get back together." Ye Jiayao turned around and stared at her.
"You have a thousand ways to recover, but you have to choose the worst way. Have you ever thought about Chunfeng's inner feelings? Are you not willing to bear even this grievance for him? And these grievances are caused by others. Was it forced on you? You asked for it."
Liuli sneered and smiled: "I'm not as mean as you, nor as cunning as you. From now on, we will each live our own lives and we will have nothing to do with each other."
After saying that, Liuli turned her head and Shi Shiran left.
For the first time, Ye Jiayao had such a profound experience of what it means to be a mortal enemy, one who hates him to the core and will not stop until death.
Okay, then she will keep her eyes open and wait to see if you, Zhao Liuli, can still turn the tide.
Xia Chunyu heard about this big event when he came back from the next shift, but he did not express any objection. He just told Ye Jiayao that his mother would divide the property and let Chunfeng get more. He could not help with other things, so he could still have more money. Did it.
Even if he didn't say this, Ye Jiayao was still prepared to do this. They were short of money now, but Tianshangju was a source of living water, with income coming in every day. At the end of the year, there would be dividends from the second aunt. She didn't like the Hou Mansion at all. How can you care about your property
After Youshi calmed down, she called Chunli and Chunyu. She felt sorry for Chunfeng and wanted to make up for the property, but she was afraid that the other two daughters-in-law would be unhappy, so she decided to divide it equally.
"These are the property of the family. There are two hundred acres of fertile land. You three brothers have fifty hectares each. There are sixteen shops in the city and you have four each. There is also the income from the farm, which is about fifty or sixty thousand a year. This cannot be divided. From now on, I will give one-third of the actual annual income to Chunfeng. As for the silk shop in the city and the business in Hangzhou, I don't plan to divide it. Those are my private properties..." Youshi said the same thing.
"Do you have any opinions on this decision?" Finally, You asked his two sons for their opinions.
Chunli said first: "Mother, you divided the farmland and shops according to four shares. How come the farm's income is divided into three shares? Is it true that my second brother and I also share one-third of the rest? ?”
Youshi was displeased. You were born and raised by a concubine, so it's very interesting to get so much. If it were someone else, he would have been enjoying it secretly, but he was not satisfied yet.
"You mean, your father and I can go drink the northwest wind?" Youshi said in a bad tone.
"Isn't that what my son means? Don't my father and mother still have a silk and satin shop? How can I drink from the northwest wind?" Chunli chuckled and said, "My son is afraid that his mother will make a mistake."
"That's right, I just want to give Chunfeng more. He never asks me for money, but you come to ask for it every now and then. How much money have you asked for from me over the years? When you want money, don't you? Too much, now you think it's too little?" Youshi was furious, if Chunli dared to chirp again, he wouldn't even be able to take away a single copper from her.
Chunli hesitated and thought to himself, even if you gave money to your third brother privately, you couldn't tell me. Don't pretend to be fair. Can the benefits he gets from being a concubine outweigh those from a direct descendant
Chunyu glared at his eldest brother, who was really embarrassed to speak, his greedy nature was fully exposed.
"Mom, I don't want my share of the farm's income. I'll give it all to my third brother. He has a new house to live in, and the expenses are huge. I don't need any shops, so I'll give them to my third brother," Chunyu said.
Youshi felt a little relieved. After all, they were brothers, and Chunyu knew that he felt sorry for Chunfeng.
Chunli was anxious. If you don't want it, you can't give it all to your third brother. Where is your eldest brother? You can't forget big brother!
"Second brother, your worries are unfounded. How can third brother be short of money? Don't forget that Liuli is a princess. How can the Queen Mother make Liuli suffer? She will definitely give you a lot of money." Chunli said.
Chunyu said calmly: "It is the Queen Mother's business to give it to you. Do you want people to say that the third brother is a freeloader? If the third brother wants to use silver, he has to reach out and ask Liuli for it?"
"Ask Liuli, what's going on? The male is outside and the girl is inside. Why don't I ask your sister-in-law for some money?" Chunli said plausibly.
Qiao pulled off his sleeve and wanted to tell him to stop talking, but was thrown away.
"No, if you want to give up your share, my third brother and I will split it equally." Chunli said.
Damn it, this is the true purpose of Chunli! When it comes to money, everything is exposed.
Ye Jiayao couldn't stand listening anymore and said slowly: "Did the eldest brother make a mistake? We didn't give up, but gave it to the third brother. The eldest brother kept silent and made a fortune, and we didn't come to care about you, right?"
Chunli said angrily: "What do you mean by giving away? We are all brothers. Why should I give it to my third brother? Am I not your eldest brother? What does it mean to be silent and make a fortune? Where did I get rich? You live in heaven. People who are making money every day, Chunfeng married a princess, and there is a large fiefdom waiting for him to inherit. You are all money masters, and I am the only one who gets some death salary. Is this called getting rich? Is it true that you are wearing silk clothes? Jealous beggar.”
Ye Jiayao wanted to say something else, but Chunyu stopped her and said, "Brother, don't hide it. Others don't know how much you earned from playing with strange stones, but I know it. Jinling City is only so big, how can you expect to be able to do so?" Can you keep it a secret?"
At this time, Mrs. Qiao was stunned and said to Chunli: "Okay, you made money but you hid it from me, you just cried out for poverty in my place, and you almost emptied my dowry, you... you... in the world Is there a husband like you?"
Chunli broke into a sweat. He had made a lot of money by reselling rare stones. How could his second brother know about it? He actually said it right now. Isn't this trying to undermine him
Faced with Mr. Qiao's accusation, Chunli had no choice but to pretend to be stupid: "It's just a few small coins. I'm investing in it again. You listen to my second brother's nonsense."
Youshi was disgusted with Chunli's expression and said impatiently: "How much you earn or how little you earn has nothing to do with your family. You and your wife have to settle the accounts when you go back. Now Chunyu wants to give his share to Chunfeng. This is Chunyu himself. I mean, it has nothing to do with you. This is how things are done. If you still have complaints, just go to other families and find out how they allocate it, and then you can settle it with me."
Really ignorant.
"Mother, let's leave it as it is, we have no objection." Ye Jiayao was the first to express her stance.
Seeing that her mother-in-law was unhappy, Ms. Qiao did not dare to make any more trouble, so she also expressed her position: "My wife has no objection. Today, I just drank a few cups of yellow soup as a courtesy. My mind is not clear. Mother, just ignore him."
Chunli gritted his teeth with hatred. This was a family separation. It was a once-in-a-lifetime thing. How could it be forgotten so easily? After passing this village, there would be no such store. This prodigal woman, she also said that women are like water, and water makes gold. Prodigal woman, go back and see how I deal with you.
Youshi was upset and handed all the property deeds to Ye Jiayao and asked Ye Jiayao to handle it. She waved her hand and told everyone to disperse.
Chunli started talking to Mr. Qiao as soon as he left the house: "I gave you a little bit of color and you just slapped your nose on your face, right? When was it your turn to talk at home?"
Not to be outdone, Mrs. Qiao sneered: "Are you anxious to settle accounts with me? Okay, I'm about to settle accounts with you too."
Ye Jiayao was afraid that if the two of them quarreled, Chunli would be violent to Ms. Qiao. After all, Ms. Qiao was still pregnant! She wanted to persuade her, but Chunyu pulled her away: "Leave them alone, brother, they have nothing to deal with."
