Wang Dafu smiled stiffly and said, "We are all in the same family, and we all recognize Dad's handwriting. Besides, even if there is no letter, we still believe what the little sister said."
The patriarch nodded and asked Wang to take out the letter.
Everyone compares it together, and it is naturally identified as true.
"That room should belong to Bao Yun or Bao Yun. Although your family has been separated for many years, you can still get one room, right?"
The Zhao family and the Zou family pretended to be poor before. They were bullying the Wang family for not returning home for many years and not knowing what was going on inside, but several of the uncles were getting old, so they were not so easy to fool. Don't dare to lie again.
"Naturally, it is given." Wang Dafu said with a smile, "However, but you also know that the two rooms in the family are now very populated, and we didn't know in advance that the house was left to the younger sister by the parents, and it was distributed to the daughter-in-law earlier. Live in. If my little sister wants to live in, she has to clean up for some days."
The patriarch was invited by the Wang family, and before he came, he felt that the Wang family was making a big fuss—it was just a room, and the Wang family brothers were so rich, how could they want something like this from her
But the Wang family was the most beloved child of the second elder of the Wang family when they were alive, and the patriarch still ran away with the old love in mind.
I didn't expect these two brothers to actually dare to do this in front of their uncles? !
It is conceivable what kind of face they have towards the Wang family in private!
Wang Shi was not very surprised, because a few hours ago, Gu Yin said to Wang Shi: "Although it is two aunts who are in trouble today, they are not young anymore. Naturally, it means uncle. Although my mother has written letters from my grandfather, there is no guarantee that they will make some excuses to delay, or that the family can't vacate the house, or that the house is old and needs time to repair. It was mother who invited uncles to be the masters. As long as they keep dragging them, the uncles are all old. Can they manage for a while, but for a lifetime? Why don’t they just convert it into cash, and the money and goods will end up. We will buy our own money when we get the money. Their small courtyard, far away from them, is clean."
It was also Gu Yin's idea to invite the elders of the clan to come forward, and after saying so much, Wang saw that she was becoming more organized in what she was doing and speaking. Thanks to her thoroughness before, she followed her advice.
Unexpectedly, I really let my daughter-in-law calculate it.
So Wang Shi was not surprised, only said: "Big brother is right, so I didn't even think about living in. Why don't you fold that house into silver and give it to me."
The patriarch's expression darkened, he nodded and said, "Yes, since the house can't be vacated, it's the same to pay it to Baoyun. It also saves the juniors in your house from moving around."
Sister-in-law Zhao couldn't help muttering: "How old is the house, how can an old house be converted into silver?"
"The man is serious, but he didn't ask you, what did you say?" The patriarch looked at Zhao Shi unhappily, and shrank her neck at her, and even Zou Shi, who wanted to help, chose to keep his mouth shut.
Wang Shi also looked at the two sisters-in-law and sneered, "I don't dare to ask for more, just convert it to me at our market price. But let's talk about the ugly, the house that my parents left for me back then was new. Now it's ruined, even if it's been a long time, but more must be man-made. This man-made depreciation fee can't be counted on my head. "
Finally, the patriarch came forward and said a compromise price - twenty taels of silver.
Ten taels of silver are enough for ordinary people to chew for a year. Twenty taels are not a small sum.
But the whole old house of the Wang family is worth hundreds of taels. The big house on the north side has two hoods and a small patio. If a small kitchen room is built in the yard, it will be separated into a small yard with all the internal organs. In this prosperous area, It is very common to sell dozens of taels.
Of course, this is an ideal state. The reality is that the two elders of the Wang family only mentioned the house in their letters, not the land. The ownership of the well is still under discussion, and the brothers of the Wang family will not let her separate the wall, and the Wang family has no money to go to the wall. Build a stove. So the patriarch said the number twenty-two.
Naturally, the two members of the Wang family were reluctant, but the patriarch said something, and the price was really fair, so they could only smile with a bitter face and hand over the money.
The patriarch was also a fair man, and he wrote a contract at the back for Wang to press his fingerprints, indicating that the house had been sold to two brothers.
After finishing this business, the faces of the couples in the two rooms of the Wang family were eccentric, but with their uncles, it was not easy for them to have an attack. Wang Dafu had to accompany a smile and invite all the uncles to stay for dinner.
At the back of the table, the patriarch must have cared a few words about Wang, and asked her about her situation over the years, and how she was lucky enough to survive the flood unscathed.
The previous question was easy to answer, and the Wang family directly told the uncles about the suffering of these years.
The following question was also asked by Mr. Zou, and Mrs. Wang made a coincidence at that time.
Facing the patriarch, it was not easy to get rid of it with just a single sentence, so the Wang clan cried both truthfully and falsely: "A month ago, I heard that the father of the child and the eldest son of my family were gone, and I had nightmares all night long. Really. One night, I dreamed of my son’s father, and he kept telling me to take the children away. When I woke up, I felt uneasy, so I left with the children, and then I avoided the catastrophe. ."
The dream of reporting relatives has existed since ancient times. Although this is a bit bizarre, the uncles did not become suspicious, and comforted her by saying: "Although you had a bad time in the past few years, but you escaped such a catastrophe, it can be seen that you are a Good luck."
As the patriarch spoke, he gave Wang Dafu and Wang Dagui a meaningful look. The meaning couldn’t be more obvious—your sisters all had such a miserable life, and finally saved a life. You brothers don’t talk about helping out, but you still want to leave the house your parents left to her, really. Really black heart!
In the end, Wang Dafu, the eldest brother, opened his mouth to smooth things out: "The little sister will definitely be able to be very peaceful in the future, I don't know what to do in the future?"
Twenty taels of silver had been given out, and Wang Dafu was afraid that he would not be able to get rid of the burden of the Wang family.
He clearly knew that the patriarch was fair, and although he was helping the Wang family to get ahead, the Wang family was an out-married woman.
However, Wang Shi didn't have any intention of taking advantage of them, so he said: "It's not a plan, thanks to a few uncles to call the shots, I can share the twenty taels of silver left by this father and mother. Rent a small yard to live in, Let Qingyi's daughter-in-law take good care of her body, and then I will do some cleaning and sewing to support the family. Brother, don't worry, even if I beg for food, I won't beg for your family. "
"What are you talking about, girl?" Wang Dafu laughed dryly.
After the matter was settled and the meal was used, when it was getting dark, the patriarch and a few uncles didn't stay much.
As soon as the uncles left, Mrs Wang stopped holding it, clutching the purse on his chest and ran to the inn.
In the inn, Gu Yinzheng brought Xiao Wuan to the evening meal. Since there was no money, of course the food was very ordinary, that is, dry biscuits mixed with hot water.
Looking up and seeing Wang Shi Dian'er entering the door, Gu Yin unconsciously brought a smile.
"Mother, is everything going well?"
Wang Shi sat down beside them, poured a large mouthful of hot water first, and then said, "It went very well! As you might expect, my two brothers are not good things, so dare to dare in front of the patriarch. Talking nonsense, dragged and didn't want to give me the house. Later, I said it according to your teaching, and the patriarch watched, they could only convert the house into silver money and give it to me. "
Speaking of this, Mrs Wang smiled so much that her eyes were bent, she got up and closed the windows and doors, took out two big silver ingots and placed them in front of Gu Yin as if offering treasures.
"Look, twenty taels of silver!"
Gu Yin also sees that her eyes are bright, and she has the capital to do business!
Wang Shi looked amused, and stretched out her hand to beat her head, "Look at you little money fan!"
Gu Yin touched her forehead and smiled, "Mother, I think we will have to spend money for food, clothing, housing and transportation in the town in the future, and it's definitely not enough for you to sew and wash. It's time to open up."
Wang Shi also stopped laughing when he heard the words, and became worried again, "Can I not know what you said? But how expensive is it to go to school, when Qingyi went to school, it cost five or six taels of silver a year to repair. . That's because the old show in Murakami saw that the two families had a little bit of friendship. They were not allowed to pay 12 taels in a year when they arrived here? Even if they took all the 22 taels, they were only enough for Wu'an. It’s only been two years of reading, what kind of fame can you read?”
"Yeah!" Gu Yin nodded in agreement, "That's why we use money to make money, and we can make money."
What did Wang say? You still bred these 22 taels of silver
"Can we do a little business!"
Wang Shi immediately shook his head, "How can business be so easy to do, our family doesn't have any skills, what kind of business can we do?"
"I think we can do something to eat and sell."
Hearing this, Mrs Wang shook her head even more like a rattle, "I'm a good cook, it's not a big deal for you to learn from me when you were a kid. When you were a teenager, you almost ordered the kitchen to cook. Can you sell the food you two make?"
Gu Yin had long expected her reaction. After all, the change in temperament was easy to explain, but the craftsmanship could not be conjured out of thin air. But fortunately, she had already prepared her speech.
"Actually, before coming to Hanshan Town, I had a dream one night."
Wang: …
This mother-in-law really deserves to be the daughter-in-law that she brought up, and she has a way of talking nonsense!
