The old man didn't give him face, and it wasn't a secret. Anyone in the village knew it.
"Your second uncle bought a mountain, more than 20 acres of land, and a few residential plots." The mountain and land bought for Mancang were all registered in the name of the old man, and they will belong to the eldest brother in the future. The old man told Mancang that
Mantun himself had no objection. He borrowed the money from his elder brother to buy the land. Without his elder brother, he could only buy a dozen acres of land at most. He couldn't afford a mountain even if he wanted to.
The second son's wife didn't know about this. She thought the money in the family was borrowed from the younger and older sisters-in-law. She never dreamed that it was taken from the eldest son. Otherwise, she wouldn't dare to treat Xingguo with that attitude.
When Xingguo heard this, he panicked, "How much does it cost to buy so much land?"
The old man filled the pipe, and the old lady lit it, took a puff and said, "Ten thousand yuan, please!"
Actually, no, I haven't spent all the 5,000 yuan I borrowed. At this time, money is honest, and one dollar can buy a lot of things.
Xingguo's heart sank, his face stiffened. "Master, is my second uncle's family so rich?"
"Well, have you forgotten that your great grandfather and great grandfather were both bandits? When I fled here from famine, I brought a nugget of gold with me. I didn't dare to move because the situation was not good a few days ago. I just caught this opportunity and sold it to buy land!" The old man said nonsense seriously.
The old lady looked at the old man in admiration, "What a great story you told. When you escaped from the famine, you were almost naked. And you still want a nugget of gold? You don't even have a nugget!"
Xingguo was so angry that he almost vomited blood. What a bullshit bandit. He was treating him like a fool? He fled so far and still left behind a nugget of gold? He was a fool if he believed it.
"Master, I told you a few days ago that I was going abroad. What do you think?" Xingguo didn't want to listen to nonsense anymore.
"That's right! Come on, didn't you say you'd be a high-ranking official when you get here?" The old man nodded, agreeing very much.
Xingguo's spirits lifted a little, "Master, but I don't have enough money, you see..."
"Not enough money?" the old man asked.
Xingguo nodded quickly
"How much is the difference?" the old man asked with concern.
"Master, it's 10,000 short!" Xingguo felt that the opportunity had come and quickly said
"Ten thousand?" The old man puffed on his pipe, as if thinking about the ten thousand yuan.
Xingguo nodded hopefully and looked at the old man eagerly.
"Then you can just tell your father-in-law that your wife's monthly salary is 40-50 yuan, which is 5,000 yuan. You have been married for more than 20 years, and you should have given at least 10,000 yuan to her family. Isn't that enough for you to go abroad?" The old man said with a chuckle.
Xingguo...
"Master, I'm afraid the money for her family won't come. Besides, if we give it to them, they might spend it, so there won't be any left!"
"You asked?" The old man looked up at Xingguo.
Xingguo really didn't ask, because Wang Yue's family would never give up the money.
"I didn't ask, even if I did..."
Before he could finish, the old man interrupted him unhappily, "You didn't even ask, how do you know they don't have it? Maybe they want their daughter's money because they're afraid that you two will spend it recklessly, so they're saving it for the girl!"
The old lady cursed in her heart, who would dare to ask the girl for money after she got married?
The old man is doing something bad. If this fails, don't just blame your family. The culprit is his wife.
"Master, I know her family well. Her two younger brothers have spent a lot of money on building houses and getting married. They probably don't have much money left!" Xingguo explained dryly.
"So you're supporting your father-in-law's family? You have to pay for the wedding and the house?" The old man smiled wryly.
"Xingguo, you are wrong. We have no right to interfere with your support for your father-in-law and your family, but don't think about your hometown which you have only lived for eight hundred years when you need money!" The old lady rolled her eyelids and spoke in a sarcastic tone.
