Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

Chapter 406: Dividing the Dowry

She tilted her head slightly and glanced at her daughter, and saw that her daughter was actually very interested. She was staring at Jia She and Jia Zheng below.

It seems that something rare has been discovered.

Xue Baochai did find it strange. Jia Zheng was her own uncle, and was also going to be her father-in-law. He was always very dignified, which made people feel uneasy.

I didn't expect there is this side.

It seems that no one is perfect, and the ancients were right!

……

The light coming in through the window lattice is slowly turning.

It moved almost to the box and stood still.

Jia She and Jia Zheng were also talking until their mouths were dry and they stopped talking.

"Where's the water?"

"Why is there only water for other people and no water for the master?"

Jia She only felt that his voice was a little hoarse.

I can't say any more.

How much love you lose is how much you lose!

I can't afford it anyway.

Don't bite if there are too many lice, and don't worry about more debts.

Once he ran away, the creditors would naturally come after Jia Zheng or Jia Mu...

At this time, his deep resentment towards Lady Jia had already come to the surface.

It's a bit hard to cover up.

This is good, I can walk without any worries.

No one will accuse me of being unfilial anymore.

"Where's the water?" He rolled his eyes around and saw that no maid had come to pour water.

And there was none in front of Jia Zheng.

He immediately understood that it was because his mother was so petty that she disliked us fighting and even refused to let us drink water.

Is there nothing I can do if you don't let me drink?

He walked up to Mrs. Xing, snatched her water, drank it down, and then wiped his mouth.

He returned to himself as if nothing had happened.

"You old fool!" Mrs. Xing threw the cup away angrily.

I really want to hit Jia She a few times in public and knock him out.

People like him shouldn't stand up.

It was all because of Jia Lian and others. How could he be allowed to stand up?

Thinking of this, she glared at Jia Lian.

Jia Lian's pupils couldn't help but shrink.

Mrs. Xing cursed her as an old fool, and Grandmother Jia's eyelids twitched a few times.

We can't keep either of these two.

……

After drinking the water, Jia She regained some of his energy.

He has to hurry up.

"Mom! Let's leave it at that regarding the account book! I am the eldest brother."

"Anyway, he's called me big brother for so many years, I won't argue with him, I'll just give him a hand again."

"I'll listen to you, mother. I'll divide it however you say. Evenly or give me more!"

"You have known me for so many years. I have always been a hard-mouthed person with a soft heart."

"Don't bother with me. It's not good to make you angry."

"You must live a long life."

After saying this, he saw that no one had expressed their opinions yet, and it was a bit awkward for him to be the only one to perform a solo.

There's no way I can risk it!

"Mom! How about giving me all these account books?"

"I admit it all!"

Grandmother Jia was so angry that she couldn't speak.

What the hell is this bastard talking about.

Grandmother Jia's cane poked the ground a few times, and it seemed to have poked her heart.

……

"This account book will be divided equally. What do you think?"

She turned her face to the relatives and didn't even ask her two sons and daughter-in-law.

Aunt Xue looked at Xue Baochai, then glanced at Mrs. Wang and saw that neither of them had any objection.

She nodded.

"Madam, you are wise."

Lin Daiyu also expressed her opinion, "Grandma, I have no objection."

The Xing family basically followed Mrs. Xing's opinion.

……

So, Jia's mother ordered someone to divide the account book into two parts.

One copy was given to Jia She.

One copy was given to Jia Zheng

……

Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing looked gloomy.

But no words were spoken.

Mrs. Xing had already made up her mind that she would go wherever Lady Jia went.

……

The sunlight was about to slant down along the box.

It was time to move on to the next target. Jia She immediately took the lead and spoke.

"Mom, let's divide the boxes!"

"Relatives are tired of sitting here all the time."

"The sooner the better, the sooner the better!"

As he said this, he smiled at his relatives.

Everyone immediately lowered their heads and kept silent, their eyes on their noses and their noses on their hearts.

……

At this time, Jia's mother smiled meaningfully.

He commanded,

"Open all the boxes and let everyone see."

Immediately, the old woman who was standing at the door came in and opened the boxes one by one with "click...click...click".

Everyone looked closely and was shocked.

Especially Jia She,

The cane knocked on the box with a clang clang clang sound.

"Where are the things? Where are the things? Why are there only empty boxes?"

The voice was exasperated.

Jia Zheng, Wang Fu-ren and others also turned pale.

I opened the boxes one by one until the last few boxes.

Only then did we get something.

They are some valuable jewellery.

How come only one out of ten survives? What is going on?

Jia She's questioning was fierce.

"Mom! Did you hide it?"

"Did you secretly give it to the second child?"

"Did someone steal from the company?"

"Is it you? Yuanyang."

"I was wondering why you didn't want to be my mistress back then. I wonder if you can get so much money."

"It's more profitable than being a master, are you willing to be his mistress?"

Now Jia She's anger does not distinguish between enemies and friends, men and women.

Burn whoever you see!

"You don't need to ask anyone else about this matter." The grandmother above answered for everyone.

"Your son is right there."

"He knows it all."

Grandmother Jia glared at Jia Lian angrily.

Jia She immediately turned to Jia Lian.

"It was you, kid, who hid it?"

Jia Lian's face was pale. He knelt straight on the ground and said nothing.

"Is it you? Tell me! Are you mute?" As he said this, Jia She's crutch waved past Jia Lian.

It is natural to beat your own son, and you should never show mercy.

Jia Lian just grinned and endured it without saying a word.

Seeing that he was about to be beaten, Lady Jia in the hall knocked on the ground with her cane a few times.

"Okay, stop it. Isn't it embarrassing enough with so many people watching?"

Hearing this, Jia She stopped, but his face was full of sadness.

"Mom! How can we stop? This kid is a loser. He won't become anything unless he is beaten!"

At this point, he still didn't give up, and turned to question Jia Lian, "Tell me, where are you hiding?"

Jia Lian just covered the painful area with his hand, clenched his teeth and said nothing.

In the hall, Jia's mother began to explain, which was also an explanation to everyone.

"Whenever the government has insufficient funds, they come to borrow money."

"He was sneaking around through the mandarin ducks, looking at me without my knowledge."

"Yuanyang told me everything, too."

"As long as it's a legitimate expense for the family and it's all for the children, I won't say anything."

“Don’t my things belong to my children in the end?”

"So, you mentioned the separation several times, but I didn't respond."

"Today, since everything has been laid out, you should also wake up."

"That's all."

"I can't give you all of them yet."

"I have to save some money for my brothers and sisters to get married."

"Yingchun two thousand, Tanchun two thousand, Baoyu two thousand, Huan'er two thousand,"

"And Cong brother two thousand."

"The total is 10,000 silver coins. You can divide the rest among yourself!"

After saying so many words in one breath, Lady Jia's body became weak and limp. She leaned back on the nanmu chair, not wanting to move at all.

"I disagree!"

"I disagree……"
