Chapter 645 The Hou Family's Burden Was Thrown Out
Upon hearing this, Shu Feng raised his head and glanced at the Second Master. That Hou Shi was the Second Master's concubine.
The second master understood and immediately got up and went out.
The other young masters immediately followed, and the group headed straight for the right wing.
The room door was locked. The second master turned to his son and said, "Shu Quan, find a rock and smash this lock."
"Yes." Shu Quan thought of his mother and sister suffering, while his concubine, Hou Yiniang, and his sixth sister, a concubine's daughter, were living in the same room, eating and sleeping well. Naturally, he was unhappy. He quickly moved a stone and, without the Second Master having to lift a finger, knocked on it a few times, and the lock opened.
Second Master pushed the door open and entered; they had actually already walked around once.
They didn't go in because the room was locked. However, they checked the left wing and another small room; they found them somewhat messy, with an unpleasant odor, and the clothes and bedding were tattered.
Now, upon entering the right wing, wow, it was not only spotless, but the bedding on the bed was also very thick.
The dormitory-style bed was empty and very clean because only Hou Shi and the Sixth Miss slept there.
Second Master frowned, got up, lifted the bedding, and opened the cabinet and chest.
Then, he took out a cloth bag, which indeed contained a lot of dried sweet potatoes and bran.
"There are also eggs and dried meat here."
"And oil, salt, and rice."
"It's much more lavish than the left wing."
Shu Feng looked at Second Uncle, "Second Uncle, Aunt Hou and Sixth Sister are really outrageous."
The Second Master's face was grim. He threw the clothes and bundles of Concubine Hou and her daughter onto the ground and said coldly, "It's truly outrageous. The Shu family is currently facing a great calamity, and they should be supporting and helping each other. She's just a concubine, yet she dares to climb over the mistress and bully others like this. When she returns, I will definitely teach her a lesson."
Shu Feng nodded, "Before, there was no man in the house, so things were a mess. Now that we're here, it's time to get things sorted out. First, this room..."
Second Master said, “There aren’t many rooms in the house, and there are about ten of us, so we naturally need to allocate them properly. How about this, for now, the men will have one room and the women will have one room. We’ll stay in this right wing room for now, and when things get a little easier, we’ll figure out how to get a couple more rooms.”
"This is the only way for now. What about Madam Hou and Sixth Sister?"
"Let them stay in the woodshed for now, and they can move back when they realize their mistake."
Aunt Xue had already reached the main room. Upon hearing this, her eyes lit up, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon enough, a cloth bag appeared in front of them. Shu Quan said to her without any politeness, "We're all tired. Take this food to the kitchen and cook something for us."
Aunt Xue's expression froze. "But my hand is broken."
"Isn't there one more? Hurry up and go."
He gave the things to Aunt Xue, and then threw out the bundles of Madam Hou and the Sixth Miss. Immediately afterwards, the door of the right wing slammed shut, and the men of the Shu family took out the already cooked sweet potato chips and dried meat and began to wolf them down.
The little food that Madam Hou had painstakingly saved up was completely consumed without her even noticing.
At this moment, she was unaware of the mess she would face upon returning home. She was still in the wasteland, thinking about what Shu Yu had told her.
