Chapter 108
After the matter of Zhang's family splitting up, Mu Yun heard Wen Tingzhou mention it, and the process in this was not as calm as he heard on the surface.
Although Mrs. Zhang was not willing to let a concubine's wedding defeat the legitimate son, the old man could only abide by the old man's words. The trouble was that the second wife, who had two concubines, was extremely reluctant. She was afraid that Zhang Fang would take away the property that belonged to her son, but she could not resist the old man's determination.
The family division originally agreed that each concubine had a four-entry house with a house of two thousand acres, and 50,000 taels of silver and the things in his yard were sent.
Of course, the second and fourth wife are not good at slapping the old man's family conditions. They were extremely dissatisfied with the old man's separation. The second wife even cried to Zhang Shangshu: "Master, you see, the old man is cruel to drive our son out of the Zhang Mansion. He gave me such a little thing. My son and his brother are used to being rich and well-fed. Now the two brothers have not married and have children. In addition, the official position is only a small official of the seventh rank, and the monthly salary is only a little money. What is enough? The old man is too partial. It would be fine if the Zhang family inheritance rights are all on the legitimate son. The things in this mansion should be divided equally by the brothers!"
Mr. Zhang closed his eyes and said nothing. Zhang stood beside him and refused to answer the situation. However, the fourth wife thought for a moment and smiled and said, "Sister is wrong. Our Dayuan Dynasty has always been the most important difference between legitimate and illegitimate. According to the rules, the illegitimate son has no right to inherit. Now the old man cares about his flesh and blood and is willing to give the illegitimate sons so many things. After all, he has land and houses, and he can't spend too much money to live."
The second wife sneered and glanced back and forth between the fourth wife and Zhang Fang: "The fourth sister is now climbing to a high school. I just don't know if the fourth sister is dedicated to others like this. I don't know if I can get a good job in the future? I have two sons to rely on, and you don't know what your not-grown son can do?"
This made the fourth wife's face turn pale, but Zhang Fang snorted coldly: "Mrs. Second wife is too worried. Fourth wife and you are my father's concubines at least. Is the second wife a little over the fourth wife saying this? Do you care too much about my mother?!"
The second lady wanted to say something again. The old man waved his hand, but he was really unhappy to listen to their nonsense: "Okay, don't say anything more. If I don't say something, it doesn't mean I don't know how many tricks you have in your room over the years. Could it be that you insist that I take out the annual account book of the mansion to reconcile with you?"
The old man's words made the second wife feel nervous. When the old lady died, she installed her own people and reached into the yard of the purchasing purchase. Over the years, the eldest lady always wanted to get rid of her people, but unfortunately she was stopped by Shangshu. The second wife's people have been in the comprador in the mansion for more than ten years, and she has made at least tens of thousands of taels of silver. With the fact that the mansion has issued over the years, she has always had nearly two hundred thousand in her hands. Thinking of this, she had to pretend to compromise and sigh and said, "Since that's the case, let's share it."
She thought well and planned to cry in front of Zhang Shangshu later, so she would not have to be divided. After all, she didn't have to spend money to eat and drink at home, and she had to spend her own money everywhere she could. Just thinking about the second wife felt so painful.
Just as Zhang Fang was thinking of saying a few words, the old man spoke again: "I have prepared a new house for a long time. There are no shortage of applications. Next month's fifth day will be a good day for moving, and it will take a few days. That day." As soon as this was said, it showed that the old man had prepared the matter of separation. The second wife was not able to show anything at this moment, so she had to lower her head to respond.
So, everything was settled.
Because it was the old man who personally led the division, even Zhang Shangshu felt a little dissatisfied and helpless.
However, Zhang Fang did not expect that his grandfather would be so straightforward this time, so Zhang Fang secretly accepted the things from the family. As for the house he could not live in in the future, he would not know.
Seeing that everyone was honest, the old man was generous and said to his grandchildren: "According to the rules, there is a regular order for the concubines in our mansion to get married. Now that you are separated from the family, the money will be allocated to you first. Even if you have your mother watching, you can't make any big trouble. Although Zhang Fang is not as good as your mother watching, you are steady and I believe you won't spend it randomly."
Seeing that Mrs. Zhang finally separated these illegitimate sons whom she disliked, she was rare to be generous: "Since I am sure that I am the legitimate mother, so I should not be stingy. I will take out another amount of money from my private room and give the three children a balance of 5,000 taels of silver to each of them. Just treat my legitimate mother's little intention."
The old man nodded, very satisfied with the eldest lady's understanding of the general situation, so he smiled and said, "You can do it. You have done well in the past two years, and you will have to do this in the future. Although our family is not extremely rich, we cannot treat our children unfairly."
The eldest lady nodded and replied: "The daughter-in-law is obeying her father's teachings."
Zhang Fang moved out of the Zhang Mansion on the fifth day of the lunar month. As for the second wife's two sons, he was reluctant to move out of the mansion. The second wife also cried in front of Zhang Shangshu all day long.
In the end, the two concubines did not move, and the old man was so angry that he left the capital, saying that he had gone to the south to visit an old friend. Even the eldest lady was so angry that she was sick and stayed in her yard and could not come out. Zhang Shangshu became a laughing stock in the capital overnight.
Men are all very proud of their faces, and in the end, Zhang Shangshu was cruel and moved the second wife and two concubines out of the mansion. This is all a story.
Now that Zhang Fang has divided the family, the inner courtyard will be decided by Miss Mo, who is about to marry. She has no mother-in-law to take charge, and there are no idle people like sister-in-law and brother-in-law below. The Empress and the Mo family are very satisfied with this.
On that day, Mu Yun went to a bookstore on Huayu Street to select a few ancient books and local chronicles. When he passed by Qingkong's house, he also went to Qingkong's house to sit.
Qingkong was also very happy to see her coming, and said with a smile: "You came here for a coincidence. I just sent some fresh wild vegetables and a few mandarin fish from my village. I originally thought that I could send some to you, but I didn't expect you to come. Since you are here, eat here."
After saying that, Qingkong quickly asked the kitchen to prepare lunch, and asked someone to prepare the mandarin fish and wild vegetables. He could take it back when Muyun left later.
Mu Yun's life is now smooth and satisfactory, and his face is more outstanding than before he left home. Qingkong quipped: "Now, I count your life and enjoy it."
Who knew Mu Yun sighed: "What are you happy about? Do you know that the one in my family is asking me when I will give the little monkey a younger brother or sister, please, the little monkey is less than one year old!"
Mu Yun did not deceive Qingkong by saying this. Wen Tingzhou did talk to her about the second child a few days ago, but Mu Yun didn't want to have children frequently and planned to wait until the little monkey was two or three years old before considering having a second child.
Qingkong was stunned: "I don't know much about this. My brother-in-law is so anxious. There are little monkeys. Don't rush to ask for it."
After hearing Qingkong's words, Mu Yun frowned and asked, "Did your brother-in-law say you? Or did your brother-in-law say you?"
"Your brother-in-law is not in a hurry. He also loves Sister Tian very much. It's her mother-in-law..." Qingkong said helplessly.
Mu Yun understood that Jiang Xu's mother just wanted Qingkong to pass on the family line quickly. So Mu Yun asked again: "Then has she arranged for others?"
Qingkong nodded, Mu Yun suddenly looked angry, Qingkong quickly said, "Your brother-in-law pushed him, and he had a little unhappy with his mother-in-law because of this."
After hearing this, Mu Yun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately he pushed it, otherwise there would be something good to him!"
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about these bad things. Let me tell you, is my house right? The newly moved home is Vice Commander Zhang's house. I only found out when I met Vice Commander Zhang on the street the day before yesterday."
"Ah, then when he gets married, you must have sex with his wife."
"That's right, I heard that his wife is the legitimate daughter of a prominent family in Jiangnan. Let's see if it's easy to get along with."
