"You bastard! Fine, let's break up!"
Wang Xifeng was overjoyed! "Mrs. Lin, did you hear that? The family has been divided!"
Everyone in the room was happy except for Grandmother Jia, who was very sad.
"I'm willing to split up, but I won't go with you. I'll go with this second wife. They're widows and orphans; they've had a hard life. Please be more accommodating to them!"
“Yuan Chun has it tough in the palace. There are so many places where she needs money. The women don’t have any way to earn money. In this family, you’re the boss and she’s the boss!”
"What?" Xing objected. Why should she? Her large family was full of people with many mouths to feed; didn't they need money?
No business to make a living? Does Your Highness have none?
Isn't there a living signboard?
"I don't like what the old lady is saying. The division of the family property should be done according to the rules. How can it be a matter of one person getting more or less than the other!"
Grandmother Jia glared at Xing Shi, that troublemaker!
Xing shrank back. It was her money; why couldn't she take it?
"Return the tens of thousands of taels you demanded from us a few days ago!"
Grandmother Jia was furious and scolded them for being stingy, saying, "Don't even think about that money, I've already spent it all!"
Holy crap, so that's where the trouble started!
Wang Xifeng: So... what do you think!
"That was all given to Her Majesty by everyone. No one should think too much about it. Even after the family division, you are still a family! If there are any benefits, you won't be treated unfairly!"
Jia She... he didn't believe that!
Seeing that everyone still wanted to say something, Wang Xifeng quickly said, "Then let's leave it at that. Consider it our way of showing our respect to Your Majesty and showing our sincerity. If Your Majesty has anything good to offer in the future, she will remember us. It will be worth spending those tens of thousands of taels!"
Grandmother Jia nodded, thinking that Sister Feng knew how to speak.
Only Shen Ajiao saw Wang Xifeng's pained expression and thought to herself, "Wang Xifeng is so clever. She won't let them leave without suffering a lot!"
And so, Shen Ajiao watched as Grandmother Jia forced herself to divide the family property, with the eldest son's family moving out to live elsewhere within ten days.
"Why is it the eldest son's family that moved out, while the second son's family is living comfortably?" Lin Daiyu, having heard about the Jia family's situation, also grabbed a handful of melon seeds.
"Of course, it was your kind maternal grandmother who said that they were an orphan and a widow, and that it wouldn't be appropriate for the empress to visit her family in the palace, so it was inappropriate to go anywhere else..."
"Pah! Only my dear grandmother would do something like that. She really went to great lengths for her precious Baoyu." Lin Daiyu felt that the melon seeds in her hand didn't taste good, so she put them down, clapped her hands, and said, "I'll get some preserved plums instead!"
"By the way, did my second aunt really lend money at exorbitant interest rates?"
Shen Ajiao looked at Lin Daiyu with a curious gaze and said, "Stop, I know what you're going to do."
"No need, let her reap what she sows!"
Besides, Jia She suffered such a huge loss, could he really do nothing? Impossible!
Lin Daiyu: Alright, she reluctantly agreed.
"What do you mean by reaping what you sow?"
Shen Ajiao turned around and saw Zhou Shun walking towards her with a group of people, each carrying something in their arms. "What did little Shun get this time!"
Zhou Shun didn't mind that Shen Ajiao didn't answer her question, and said with a smile, "Didn't someone steal your stone lions last time? I thought you must be unhappy, so I'm giving you some fun things."
Shen Ajiao covered her mouth with a laugh, "You came alone today?"
Zhou Shun felt embarrassed. He didn't want to be with Gu Yuzhi at all, because Gu Yuzhi always scolded him, saying, "He's at home doing his homework."
"Have you finished writing?"
Zhou Shun's face contorted in disbelief. It was too difficult! The homework was just too hard!
Seeing Zhou Shun's furrowed brow, Lin Daiyu knew she had made things difficult for him, and covered her mouth with a smile, "So you brought these things because you wanted to do your homework with us."
"Lin Daiyu is truly insightful!"
Shen Ajiao… [Offering unsolicited favors? Bah!]
Shen Ajiao put down the melon seeds in her hand, clapped her hands, and smiled brightly. She didn't need them; she had a cheat code!
Lin Ruhai might as well use it; it's very useful!
Zhou Shun explained his problems, and Lin Daiyu listened attentively. The two discussed it for a while.
Shen Ajiao then saw Gu Yuzhi and Huo Huaixi arriving together.
Rare guests, rare guests, what a surprise to see everyone here today.
"What if the stone lions at Sister Ajiao's door are missing?" Gu Yuzhi asked sincerely, causing Ajiao's face to twitch.
She came to ask about her stone lion again...
"If you can't find the person, you can hand them over to us!" Gu Yuzhi said, glancing at Zhou Shun and winking. Zhou Shun ignored him and turned his face away.
Children grow up and have their own secrets.
Gu Yuzhi was exasperated. Huo Huaixi was like a gourd with its mouth sawed off. He wanted to come to the Lin residence, but he didn't dare to come on his own. He finally did come, and that brat Zhou Shun was there too!
Didn't he tell Zhou Shun to avoid suspicion?
Zhou Shun: You guys came too!
Gu Yuzhi: We are different!
Zhou Shun: What's the difference? Bah!
[Not only has the child grown up, but they also have an eye condition. How terrible!]
Huo Huaixi...
"If Mrs. Lin needs anything, just let me know."
You guys need to be normal...
Huo Huaixi: When I didn't speak.
"Have you all finished your homework?"
"Have you thought about your thesis defense for tomorrow?"
...
"Shall we go together?" Gu Yuzhi suggested appropriately.
"I'll tutor you?"
Everyone turned around, and Lin Ruhai stood behind them, looking at them.
Shen Ajiao: "Okay!"
Zhou Shun nodded. As long as he made enough mistakes, he would definitely be able to stop making mistakes!
Gu Yuzhi, this is not impossible.
Huo Huaixi nodded with a cold expression.
Let's happily activate airplane mode!
Lin Ruhai: So, Madam called me here to teach these brats a lesson?
[It could also be hell mode!]
Lin Daiyu: Madam, that's enough. After all, you and Zhou Shun are at the bottom...
An hour later,
Lin Ruhai leisurely sipped his tea and ate some snacks, watching the people below scratching their heads in frustration.
No, it was his wife and Zhou Shun scratching their heads in frustration.
With a sigh, what a brilliant scheme, even outmaneuvering himself...
Shen Ajiao: Ugh, I didn't learn that from you! Every time you don't include yourself in the equation! Ugh!
Huo Huaixi was the first to hand in his paper, full of confidence. In Shen Ajiao's eyes, even her perpetually grumpy face was no longer sour, probably because she was very satisfied with her answer!
The second is Lin Daiyu, who is equally confident, but more reserved. She only hints to Chen Ajiao in her eyes, "Hurry up!"
Ahhhhhh...
She absolutely cannot walk behind Zhou Shun!
Zhou Shun looked at Shen Ajiao, who was writing furiously, scratched his head, and remained unhurried, continuing at his own pace, completely unaffected.
Thanks to Shen Ajiao's efforts, she finally handed in her pen before Zhou Shun put it down, and glanced triumphantly at Lin Ruhai.
Lin Ruhai smiled and poured a glass of water for Shen Ajiao, "Madam, please drink this."
I glanced at Zhou Shun; Zhou Shun had also handed in his paper, very good.
Looking at the handwriting again, it's not bad either; he's a promising talent.
As expected, Zhou Shun came in first place.
reciprocal.
Chen Ajiao is second.
reciprocal
...
Congratulations, little brother Shun!
"Sister Gillian, we're in the same boat."
