Chapter 136 Tang Mo Becomes a Rolling Knife
Tang Mo didn't understand anything. His father, who was not so great in his heart, had no prestige at this moment. He couldn't understand how his grandfather, who was so powerful, could have such a son. He also thought that the Tang family's ancestral tomb couldn't always emit smoke. His grandfather was able to become rich, but he didn't know how much effort the Tang family ancestors had put in underground. When it came to his father, all the efforts of the ancestors had been exhausted.
Not wanting to let his old father down, he showed surprise on his face, "Brother actually used my sister-in-law's dowry?"
"If this gets out, how will you live your life?"
"Brother, don't you still have her mother's dowry in your hands? Have you spent it all?"
Three questions in a row, each one pierced Tang Gang's heart. Before he could say anything, Tang Mo said, "Father should still remind my eldest brother. How can a prince of a marquisate use his wife's dowry? If it gets out, will the reputation of the marquisate be lost?"
"Besides, my sister-in-law has only been here for a short time. She is eating in such an ugly way."
The dirty water poured over Tang Rong from head to toe.
“Nonsense.”
How could Tang Gang allow his beloved son to be slandered, even if the one who slandered him was his other son? "That was given by your sister-in-law herself, just for your brother's career to be smooth, don't misinterpret the meaning of it."
Tang Mo was even more surprised, "Why would the good sister-in-law do this? What evidence does the big brother have?"
As soon as these words came out, Tang Gang looked at Tang Mo with a scrutinizing look, guessing that Wang had told Tang Mo about the Tao family. Then Tang Mo said, "Although I am not a woman, I also know the importance of a woman's dowry. How could I be so impatient to give it to my husband as soon as I get married?"
"The dowry is left to the children."
"Or did the elder sister-in-law do something to offend the elder brother and owe him something?"
"Or maybe it's because my sister-in-law looks down on our Marquisate and thinks that the Marquisate doesn't even have the capital to pave the way for my brother's career?"
It's all about throwing dirty water anyway, it doesn't matter who it's thrown on.
"Pah!"
Tang Gang slammed his palm on the desk, "You are talking nonsense, you are making up stories, can't you just hope that your elder brother will be well?"
"Father, what are you saying? I even gave him my bride. How can I still hope for him well?"
"you"
In Tang Gang's mind, he had already determined that the marriage exchange was deliberately done by Tang Rong, and it was a foregone conclusion. If the exchange went well, he would think that Tang Rong had a plan and would fight for it for him, but now it was a bad exchange, which was Tang Rong's shame, and he didn't want anyone to bring it up again.
"No matter what, it's your eldest brother and sister-in-law's business, so you better stop talking."
Tang Mo rolled his eyes. "Why would father tell me if I can't say anything? I can't learn this trick from my elder brother. If I were to try to take Xin An's dowry, she would probably break my spine and slap me twice on the spot, calling me a useless waste."
Tang Gang took a deep breath and wanted to scold Tang Mo for being useless. The Xin family was the money bag of the Tang family. Xin An's dowry was almost twice that of Tao Yiran, so much that she could not spend it all in her lifetime. If she didn't use it to benefit her husband's family, would she keep it for the benefit of outsiders?
Before he could catch his breath, he saw Tang Mo reaching out his hand to him, palm facing up, looking up in confusion, "What are you doing?"
"For money."
"You want money?"
Tang Gang thought he was hallucinating, "What money do you want?"
Tang Mo said, "Father has given big brother a lot of money all year round, but I haven't received a single penny. Money is tight recently, can father give me some?"
Tang Gang was in a panic, "Didn't your mother subsidize you privately?"
"How much money can mother have?"
Tang Mo said that he had something to say when it came to this issue. "Mother's dowry was not much to begin with, and she spent a lot on raising me. Father, think about it, how much money the mansion has spent on me since I was a child, and how much has my eldest brother spent? If you really count them, I have spent less than 20% of what my eldest brother has spent."
"And at least 10% of that 20% was supplemented from my mother's private savings."
"So your father didn't spend a dime to marry a woman and have children, so you want to get it for free?"
Tang Gang was furious at the moment. There were some things he could do but couldn't say. What did this bastard want to do by bringing these things up in front of him? "Is the mansion short of clothes or food for you? Didn't they let you study or ride a horse? You've spent less?"
How could he end the conversation so hastily? Tang Mo continued, "When my eldest brother got married, didn't my father ask my mother to use her dowry to supplement the betrothal gift? He said that my eldest brother was almost like her biological son, and that a stepmother was also a mother, so she should show some appreciation."
"I am my father's biological son, and I am also my eldest brother's mother's son. Logically, she should give me some things from her dowry, but my father didn't say anything before or after the marriage. Why is that?"
Tang Gang gritted his teeth, "Didn't I give you 30% in the end?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Tang Mo retorted, "Why did you give me 30%?"
Tang Gang was speechless, his head was buzzing, but before he could get angry, Tang Mo said again, "I didn't want the 30%, I gave it all back to my eldest brother, so that he wouldn't go out and say that I was thinking about his deceased mother's dowry."
The father and son looked at each other, the anger in one's eyes could no longer be suppressed, and the other was provocative. I thought Tang Mo would stop while he was ahead, but he continued to extend his hand, "I've gone off topic. I paid for Xin An to go shopping, and I can't spend a woman's money. I can't afford to embarrass that person."
"I have already spent all my monthly allowance. I have no choice but to ask my father for more."
Tang Gang wanted to slap him twice, but he finally held back his anger, mainly because he was worried that Tang Mo would spread his words to others, which would cause future troubles. "Didn't you just get more than 30,000 taels?"
Tang Mo looked at me with a look of "Are you getting old?" "I just said that I gave it to Xin An. If she encounters difficulties and asks for a few hundred or a thousand taels, it's okay. Am I going to ask her for two taels of silver for pocket money? She will look down on our Marquis' Mansion. How can I stand up straight in front of her in the future?"
Then she changed her expression to one of worry. "Father doesn't know. I didn't dare to tell her that there was not much left of mother's dowry. Last time she counted the dowry, she mentioned some husbands who missed their wives' dowry. She scolded them. If she knew that mother's dowry was either spent by me, taken by father, or given to eldest brother, I don't know how she would look down on me in her heart."
Tang Gang's face turned dark blue, he couldn't breathe, and his heart ached. At this moment, Tang Mo was like a tough guy, it was clear that he had to get the money today.
With a dark face, he pulled out a few banknotes from the drawer, then put two back and gave the rest to Tang Mo, "Take it."
"Only two hundred taels?"
"Is this also what father gave to my eldest brother?"
"I know I can't compare to my elder brother, but I should be at least half as good as him, right?"
Tang Mo's eyes were full of disdain. Tang Gang, who didn't want to see him at all, gave him a few more bills, adding up to five hundred taels, and said, "Go back."
Tang Mo counted the banknotes and said, "It turns out that my father gave my eldest brother one thousand taels. He is really partial."
After saying this, he bowed and said, "Son, I'm leaving."
