Seeing Han Zeyu pulling off the cloth and about to attack the main beam without giving up, Master Su finally couldn't sit still anymore and shouted at him to stop.
Master Su thought to himself, this man must be poisonous! Could this poisonous husband be the nemesis of his Su family? It really is a ghost.
First, she bewitched the eldest young master into becoming mentally retarded, and then she angered the mistress to the point of fainting. What is she going to do now? Is she going to tear down the Su Mansion?
"Don't bother. I'll give you 15% of the family property. I really can't give you more."
This old guy really won't turn back until he hits the wall. The 15% is what they deserve. I worked so hard for a long time, but he didn't even give me any labor fee. Is he treating beggars like this?
Han Zeyu opened his mouth loudly: "Twenty percent of the family property plus a farm and tenants."
Su Wangshi said sternly, "Don't go too far. I've never heard of any illegitimate son being able to share such property. Do you know how many acres of land a farm has and how much it can produce?"
Han Zeyu rolled his eyes. He didn't care about that. He was just an ignorant country bumpkin, and his character remained intact.
Seeing several servants gathering around him, Han Zeyu decisively abandoned the main beam, made a feint to the east and attacked in the west, and then went to hit the pillar again.
With a "crack", another one broke.
Master Su closed his eyes. He was a little depressed now and even wanted to agree to Han Zeyu's unreasonable request. It was better than testing his ability to bear it again and again.
Mrs. Su Wang was also a little scared and felt that what happened today was very strange. The beams and pillars in the main courtyard were all made of good wood and could easily last for a hundred or eighty years, but why did they become so fragile when Han Zeyu was trying to commit suicide?
Seeing that the master seemed to have given up struggling, Han Zeyu was eager to test the load-bearing capacity of the main beam.
Su Wangshi had no choice but to bite the bullet and bargain: "One and a half percent of the family property, plus a farm. The farm is very close to the provincial capital. Now you should be satisfied, right?"
Han Zeyu withdrew his gaze from the rental structure and agreed to Su Wangshi's distribution plan while he was ahead.
The deed of separation of property was made in triplicate, and the copy belonging to them was kept by Su Shien.
Han Zeyu simply collected the banknotes and land deeds, and then told Su Shien to leave quickly.
"What are you standing there for? Isn't it scary enough? I told you the Su Mansion isn't clean. Do you still remember that female ghost in green lying beside the bed? Maybe your mother is worried about you and came back to see you. Come on, I have to go to the temple to pay my respects."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Su and Wang families suddenly became very interesting. Why not ask a master to come and take a look?
The one who felt the most guilty was none other than Master Su. He couldn't show any anxiety, so he cleared his throat and pretended to be calm, saying, "Let's clean up the hall first, and we can talk about other things later."
One third of the four beams and eight pillars were broken, and now it is a dangerous building. The hall will be completely unusable in the next few days, and we need to find someone to repair it as soon as possible.
It was such a magical thing that Su Shien returned to the courtyard where he had lived for eighteen years without feeling the slightest bit of reluctance to leave.
Han Zeyu probed her husband: "I just mentioned your deceased mother. Do you mind?"
Su Shien was stunned for a moment, then curled up her fingers and scratched her husband's nose, saying with a smile: "Who do you think that green-clothed female ghost is? She secretly gave points to her elders, you are so bad!"
Seeing that her husband wasn't angry, Han Zeyu stuck out her tongue, playfully hugged his arm, and said coquettishly, "She doesn't love you anyway, so why would you want her? Being a shield for us is her last act of love for us."
Su Shien's eyes darkened, and he leaned against Yuger, enjoying his rare tenderness.
Su Shien has no memory of his mother, and the few fragments of memory he pieced together come entirely from his wet nurse's retelling.
She said that it was a pity that her aunt had entrusted her trust to the wrong person. Her grandfather had really misjudged the person, and she had also misjudged him.
She said that her aunt had particularly hoped to have a son before her death, hoping that this would ease the relationship between her and her husband.
She said that on the day she was born, her aunt regretfully said that he was late after all.
Although the wet nurse's words are not completely credible, judging from some of the concubine's belongings that my sister sorted out before she got married, and her evasive attitude when facing her own questions, perhaps what the wet nurse said is almost right.
Han Zeyu saw that her husband was in a bad mood, so she put her arm around his shoulders and said to him, "Don't worry, you still have me. I will treat you very well, just like you treat me."
Su Shien smiled and kissed Yuger's forehead. Han Zeyu happily floated out to find Tiezhu, asked him to go to the ferry, and asked Zeping and his cousin Zean to come over to help move things.
There are quite a lot of things in this yard. The books in Su Shien's study alone fill up an entire carriage.
The two of them swept through the yard like a swarm of locusts, leaving no chance for others to take advantage of the situation.
The housekeeper's nephew didn't have to worry about his future, so he didn't want to take advantage of anyone and was the most peaceful one.
Dingxiang's situation was similar to his, and she had no worries about her future, so she was doing her best to help the two of them pack their luggage.
Although the two maids had some complaints that they could not get any benefits, they could not suppress their excitement when they thought that they were about to leave this broken courtyard.
Tiezhu has made up his mind to follow his master and the young master. Now he is happily busying around, running more actively than anyone else. Leaving the Su Mansion means that he no longer has to live a life where he can't even get enough to eat leftovers.
The most confused people at this moment were the wet nurse and her granddaughter Yang Wan.
Ever since she knew that Su Shien passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, she has been trying to compete with Dingxiang. To put it bluntly, the wet nurse wanted to take back the management power of the courtyard.
Unexpectedly, Dingxiang let go very freely this time. Just give her that insignificant right if she likes it.
The wet nurse felt that the eldest young master had passed the imperial examination and was definitely a talented young man, and that Master Su would definitely be reluctant to separate the eldest young master.
She fantasized about how she would be so glorious after Su Shien became a juren, and that people who originally looked down on her would flock to her to curry favor with her. Her daughter Yang Wan would also be able to marry the young master, bear children for him, and then kick out that annoying country bumpkin.
Whenever she thought of this, the wet nurse would be so excited that she couldn't sleep at night. In just these ten days, she had earned a pair of big dark circles under her eyes.
Dingxiang thought this man was ridiculous. Given her master's style of doing things, how could she be expected to suffer any consequences if she fell into his hands?
You have finally made it to this age, why not take this opportunity to leave home and reunite with your family, save some money, and not worry about your sons and daughters-in-law being unfilial? Wouldn't it be nice to live a stable retirement?
She wanted to learn from this lesson...
