Chapter 173: Is there any need to tell who Old Lady Liu favors?

Xiao Lin, the daughter-in-law of the eldest wife, Da Lin, knelt on the ground and cried: "Grandfather, you are going to cut off the life of our family. My father-in-law, mother-in-law and my husband have all been arrested and imprisoned, and we still have to collect the 180 taels of silver as redemption money. How can we pay the shop fee for Fourth Uncle? ... Xia'er is still so young, you should leave her a dowry or something..."

Old Mrs. Liu now hates anything related to the Lin family.

He felt that his eldest son was fine. If it weren't for the Dalin family causing trouble, being corrupt and lending money at high interest rates, how could such a good family have come to this point?

It’s all the Lin family’s fault!

Old Lady Liu glanced at Little Lin and angrily scolded, "You bastard, shut up! I'm annoyed when I see you Lins! Big Lin has been in charge of the family finances for decades, is it for nothing?! Look at what you wear on your head, more expensive than what your grandmother wore!... No money? I'll ask Old Ji to search your main house! If that doesn't work, I'll go to your run-down Lin family and search there, maybe we can find a lot of things from our Liu family!"

After scolding, Old Lady Liu was still not satisfied, so she took a teacup and smashed it directly in front of Xiao Lin, breaking it into pieces.

Xiao Lin's face turned pale and red, and she dared not say another word.

She knew in her heart that what Old Lady Liu said was true.

At this moment she had lost all her dignity and was kneeling there in embarrassment.

Wei Sanniang's eyes turned red when she heard this.

It’s not like Kobayashi was the only one who dressed better than her today. How could the man who had been pretending not to see it for so many years suddenly see it?

It was because of the trouble caused by Dalin that he hated her.

Old Mrs. Liu took a few quick breaths.

He knew very well that although there was no money in the public account, there would definitely be money in the eldest wife's private treasury!

Xiao Lin didn't dare to cry anymore. After catching her breath, Old Lady Liu asked again, "Big Wife, do you have anything else to say?"

No one from the first wife dared to say a word.

Old Lady Liu snorted coldly: "Since you have nothing to say, then it's settled."

After the most important money, the house and the shop, were divided up, the rest were miscellaneous items.

But there was one thing - he had not yet divided up Old Lady Liu's private property.

It is obvious that this is reserved for the children that Old Lady Liu favors.

——As for who Old Lady Liu favors, is there any need to say it?

The eldest wife's face finally showed a somewhat relaxed look.

After Wei Sanniang and Liu Yuanfeng graded the shop, she remained silent.

The mother and daughter have been suppressed by the eldest wife for so many years, and what they have now is already far beyond their expectations.

As for other things, the mother and daughter knew they had no share and never thought about it.

After the property was divided, Old Lady Liu looked like she was about to die.

The long-time attendant, Lao Ji, followed Old Lady Liu's instructions and drove the people out.

Only Wei Sanniang and Liu Yuanfeng were left.

"Sanniang, do you blame me?" Old Lady Liu suddenly asked Wei Sanniang.

Wei Sanniang looked at the extremely old old lady Liu in front of her, and her nose suddenly felt sore when she heard his question.

She had been a concubine of Old Lady Liu since she was in her teens. At that time, Old Lady Liu was still a tall and handsome businessman, not the old, hunchbacked, and dying woman in front of her.

At that time, the two of them had been in love.

But Wei Sanniang didn't understand why he pushed her to the position of principal wife and suddenly began to be wary of her and cautious of her?

But that doesn't matter anymore.

Wei Sanniang smiled bitterly: "Master, I say I don't blame you, do you believe me?... In these years, I have been humble and stayed in my own yard honestly, just because I was afraid of offending others. But even so, they didn't let me go... Master, I'm tired, I just want to live a good life with Yuanfeng."

Old Mrs. Liu was speechless.

Wei Sanniang knelt down to greet Old Lady Liu and walked out.

Before leaving, Liu Yuanfeng suddenly said quickly, "Dad, take good care of yourself. You will have to drink the daughter-in-law tea offered by my wife in a few days."

Old Mrs. Liu was startled, and her expression softened a little.

He said nothing, just waved.

Wei Sanniang sat in the yard and rested for a long time before she came to her senses.

This is the separation...

Slowly, subtle joy crept into my heart.

Wei Sanniang suddenly stood up again: "No, I have to find someone to go to the Jiang family and tell them! Forget it, it would be better for me to go and explain it myself..."

Over the years, she has also saved some money of her own.

Add to that the twenty taels of silver that had been withdrawn from the public account for repairing the house, the twenty taels of silver that had been divided up, the one hundred taels of silver from the eldest son, and the writing shop on the Huai River Road...even if it was in cash, there would be almost two hundred taels of silver at this point.

Two hundred taels of silver were enough to marry the girl from the Jiang family in a decent manner, and the couple could live a good life together.

Wei Sanniang became happier the more she thought about it. She changed her clothes and was ready to go to Jiang's house.

As a result, before he could take a step forward, he saw his long-time attendant, Old Ji, coming over with a box in his hands.

Wei Sanniang was a little surprised, and her long-time attendant said, "This is some of the old master's private savings. The family is in a mess right now, and I'm afraid that the fourth master's marriage will be affected to some extent. These are the compensation given by the old master from his own private storehouse."

Wei Sanniang paused, then took it without saying anything polite.

These are what a father should give.

Should she be grateful to her old man for finally fulfilling his fatherly duties?

It's a bit absurd.

After the long-time attendant Lao Ji left, Wei Sanniang opened the brocade box and took a look.

Inside was a fifty-liang silver note and two jade pendants of excellent water content.

Wei Sanniang nodded and said, "Not bad."

By then we can renovate the house in the suburbs to be better.

Wei Sanniang first went to the inn and found Mrs. Wei. She told her about the division of the family. Mrs. Wei's brows relaxed and she said with a smile: "Your old man has finally come to a point where he is not confused for once."

This first wife is a spendthrift. Instead of investing all the money in her, it would be better to give some to the fourth wife to retain her vitality.

If the eldest wife can learn from this setback and rely on the profitable shop at hand, she may be able to make a comeback.

Wei Sanniang had no interest in what Old Lady Liu thought, but she was concerned about it now.

Will it have any impact on the marriage with the Jiang family?

However, facts have proved that the Jiang family is indeed of good character.

Although they were a little worried, they were relieved when they heard that the Liu family had split up and Liu Yuanfeng had been given a writing shop. They smiled and said, "Since we have already exchanged the engagement letter, it means we have already made a marriage alliance. There is no reason to change our mind overnight."

Wei Sanniang finally put her worries at ease.

Seeing that Wei Sanniang's matter had come to an end, Mrs. Wei was ready to return to Nantuo Village.

Before returning to the village, I heard that the eldest wife of the Liu family still used money to redeem the person from the cell.

As for the one thousand taels of money they had lent at loan sharking, it was all confiscated by the government.

Adding the 100 taels of silver given to Liu Yuanfeng, the Liu family's eldest branch suffered heavy losses.

Of course, who can be blamed?

It's all their own fault!

Mrs. Wei was in a very good mood. She took her son, daughter-in-law, grandchildren, humming a little tune, and went to Nantuo Village in a horse-drawn carriage.
