Chapter 483 Gambling
When Fang Lan mentioned silver, Liu Sanle was so angry that he threw the towel he was using to wipe his head on the ground and said, "Mom, are you really obsessed with money? Why can't you talk about silver all the time?
Don’t you think about how long it has been since you and dad gave me money?
Every time, before I even ask for it, you say you’ll give it to me once I’ve made that big deal.
Don’t forget that your son, I, am still studying!
If you have the ability, earn money yourself.
You want to wait for me to pass the imperial examination so you can take advantage of me, but you don't want to take the money. How can you be such a parent? "
Fang Lan wanted to reason with Liu Sanle again, but she saw that he was really angry. Moreover, she felt really uncomfortable in her current state. She had to clean herself up quickly before thinking about the money.
While Fang Lan went to take a shower, Mengxiang was wiping Liu Sanle's head while the two of them were talking.
Liu Sanle was lying on the recliner, Mengxiang was sitting behind him, she wiped Liu Sanle's hair half dry, and then used what she had learned in her life to massage his scalp.
Liu Sanle enjoyed Mengxiang's massage and felt extremely comfortable all over.
Seeing that Liu Sanle was feeling sleepy, Mengxiang said tenderly, "Husband, thank you for your hard work."
Liu Sanle hummed a few times, reached out and touched Mengxiang's tender little hand, "My dear, you have worked hard too."
"Husband, Xiang'er has something to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not!"
"You're still being polite to me, just say whatever you want to say!"
Mengxiang glanced into the yard and saw that Fang Lan hadn't come out yet, so she quickly said, "I heard that my husband's eldest and second brothers have separated and are living separately.
Why don’t we?”
Liu Sanle opened his eyes and glanced at Mengxiang. Mengxiang was so frightened that she stopped and asked, "Husband, is there anything wrong?"
Liu Sanle gestured for Mengxiang to continue, "Do you want to split up?"
"Xiang'er wants her husband to be the real head of the family, so he doesn't have to ask his parents for money anymore. Then Xiang'er can also benefit from it.
I've inquired about it, and my husband's eldest and second brothers have both been allocated good farmland.
My husband, now that we have good farmland, take good care of it. You study and I will help you manage the household.
Then, we can start a small business and make a good living."
Liu Sanle was moved. "You are smart. I will tell my mother about it later."
Although Meng Xiang was happy in her heart, she still reminded Liu Sanle, "Husband, something has happened at home now. Isn't it inappropriate for us to bring up the matter of dividing the family at this critical moment?"
"What's wrong with that? I just want to get back what belongs to me, and I don't want my parents' share.
Let my mother figure out a way to deal with my father's problem."
The two of them discussed a plan, and Fang Lan also packed up and went into the house.
After Fang Lan entered the room, she ordered Meng Xiang to do this and that. Liu Sanle couldn't stand it anymore, "Mom, you've been making a fuss all day, aren't you tired? Can't you just calm down for a while?"
“What you said is true. I ordered her to work because I was tired.
As a daughter-in-law, it is her duty to serve me, her mother-in-law."
Meng Xiang looked at Liu Sanle pitifully, "Husband, my mother-in-law is right. As a daughter-in-law, it is indeed my duty to serve her.
It’s just that our kid seems to be tired.
He made trouble in my stomach several times just now, and now my waist is a little painful, I......"
Mengxiang held her waist and pretended to be weak. Liu Sanle quickly got up, supported her, and let her go into the house to rest.
Mengxiang entered the house and forced a few tears, "Husband, I'll leave our family affairs to you.
You have to get this done for me and the baby in my belly."
Liu Sanle said he understood.
Mengxiang originally wanted to lie on the bed and rest, but she was really worried, so she moved a chair and hid behind the door, eavesdropping on the conversation between Liu Sanle and Fang Lan.
When Fang Lan saw Liu Sanle coming out of the house, she curled her lips in disdain and said, "She really thinks she's a daughter from a wealthy family. It's just a pregnancy, look how delicate she is.
Back then, when I was pregnant with your elder brother, I embroidered until I gave birth."
Liu Sanle hated it most when Fang Lan talked about the past. He glanced at her and said, "If you don't have anything to do, go and have a rest!
Or back home to town."
Fang Lan stood up immediately and said, "I'm not going back. I haven't raised the money to save your father yet. I have to go borrow some money tomorrow!"
"Mom, could you please stop embarrassing yourself?
Our family is a wealthy family in Jinshui Town. I don't believe you can't come up with the money to save my father. "
"Your father has squandered almost all of our family's money in the past few years.
That Zhao guy in Qingling City is asking for a thousand taels of silver. Tell me, if I don't borrow it, where can I get so much money?
Liu Sanle's face turned pale with fear. "So many?"
“Well, what else can I do if your mother is so bold as to let it go?
Later, I will have to pawn the shop in town again. No matter how much it is, it’s money!
And if it really doesn’t work out, we’ll have to sell the house and the land.”
Fang Lan looked around and said, "Son, your house is big enough and worth some money. I think we should sell it.
Even though your father is a worthless person, he is still your father!
"No, if you sell this house, where will I live?"
"You should move back to the academy! You won't have the heart to study with that vixen here!"
If you ask me, just sell her off as well.
I think she's pretty, and if she's sold to a brothel, she might fetch a good price!"
"Mom, Mengxiang is pregnant with my child! How can you say that?"
"My silly son, considering her background, you really want to make her your wife!
If you don't make her your wife, the child you give birth to will be a bastard.
Son, don’t you think about what you will do if you pass the imperial examination one day?
I've inquired about this, and the daughters of officials in the capital are unwilling to marry a man with a bastard son."
After hearing what Fang Lan said, Liu Sanle kept his eyes on the yard outside, but his hands tapped the table unconsciously.
He was thinking about Fang Lan's words. If he really passed the imperial examination and went to Beijing to marry a young lady from an official family who could help him, that would be the best choice.
A woman with Mengxiang's background would only be a laughing stock.
The room was very quiet. Liu Sanle heard what Fang Lan said and she couldn't help but sit up straighter.
Mengxiang, who was hiding behind the door and eavesdropping, was pale at this time, and her clothes on the back were soaked. She used her hands weakly to tightly protect the baby in her belly.
She was betting whether the person outside the door was a ghost or a human.
After about an incense stick of time, Liu Sanle lowered his voice and pointed inside the house. He asked Fang Lan, "Is what you inquired true?"
"Bao Zhen, I'm your mother, how could I lie to you?
My son, for the sake of your own future, you have to be ruthless!"
