"If you are sensible, then agree to the division; if you are not, then I will call the village chief and we will settle this account from beginning to end."
"Since Sister Xue married into your Jian Niu family, how much money has she spent from you, how much money has she earned, and who is doing the work for the Jian family? Tell me clearly about all of this."
"Even if you bully me, you shouldn't bully me like this. She has to do the work and support the family, and the money is spent on other people's houses. This is unacceptable no matter how you explain it!"
As soon as the words fell, there was a noise at the door.
Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw the Jian Fuyin brothers coming back.
Seeing this, Jian Xiu subconsciously pulled the corner of her lips.
This is an ironic smile.
"What's wrong with you guys?" Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Jian Fuyin was the first to ask.
Then he turned his gaze to Jian Xiu and asked again: "Jian Xiu, why are you here?"
"If I hadn't come, your wife would have been bullied to no end." Jian Xiu said unhappily.
To be honest, Jian Xiu hated Lao Li and Li Caixia, but she hated Jian Fuyin even more.
As Zhang Xuemei's husband, he didn't even know what happened to his wife.
What's the point of keeping him like this?
Just as he finished saying this, he saw Zhang Xuemei's hands shaking as she held the chopsticks next to him.
Jian Xiu: “…” She hasn’t done anything to Jian Fuyin yet? Are you so nervous?
In desperation, Jian Xiu had to slow down her tone and continue:
"I heard that Sister Xue has mentioned separation to you many times before, but nothing has come of it. Why is that?"
The tone was full of questioning.
At the same time, 껩놆 was telling Jian Fuyin that he was unqualified as a husband.
Sure enough, after hearing Jian Xiu's words, Jian Fuyin's body suddenly stiffened.
Having said that, there's no need to eat this meal.
Jian Xiu stood up directly, looked at this family and said:
"Now that everyone is here, let's make it clear. How much money has your family spent on the house over the years? You can calculate it. Of course, you can say you didn't spend any, but I can still calculate it."
"Sister Xue and Jian Fuyin work for my humble family. Together, their monthly wages are more than one tael of silver each month. Add in various bonuses and subsidies, and on average, they make more than two taels of silver each month."
"Then look at what they are wearing. Do they look like they are dressed like a couple of months old? They are patched and patched, and they are still skinny and pale."
Before anyone could speak, Jian Xiu pointed at Zhang Xuemei's son and daughter and continued:
"Look at these two children now. There is not a piece of extra meat on them. It is obvious that they do not eat well in this family. These two taels of silver are enough for them to eat meat every day."
"Then I want to ask, where does all this money go? How much money do their landlords pay to the public every month? The landlords pay so much, how much can the landlords pay?"
With every question asked by Jian Xiu, Jian Niu and Lao Li felt nervous.
This is not a matter of dividing the family, this is a matter of settling accounts.
But the two of them lacked confidence and were obviously guilty.
Seeing how Lao Li and Jian Niu were, Jian Xiu took a few steps forward and asked:
"Why don't you say anything? You were talking a lot just now, why are you suddenly silent?"
"Who... who still remembers this?" Old Li stuttered.
"Don't remember? Haha, that's great, let me calculate it for you!"
After saying this, Jian Xiu looked at Li Caixia again and said:
"Your son went to the academy, and earned a few taels of silver a year for his beam repair. Now your husband and wife have no work to do, and you are talking about these few taels of silver as money for your family."
"That's not all. I also work in the house to pay for your family's food, clothing and daily expenses. I guess you don't work on weekdays, do you? Now that it's like this, I come here occasionally, and you're eating melons in the yard."
"What about Sister Xue? She went to pick grapes on her rare day off. My dear sister, why do you think your family relies on their house to support everything?"
As Jian Xiu finished speaking, the whole room fell silent.
No one dared to breathe, including Jian Fuyin.
But he was very curious about what happened today and why Jian Xiu suddenly said such a thing.
Looking at his wife again, she obviously looked aggrieved.
"I'm putting this here today. You don't have to divide this family into two branches, but you must count the money that belongs to their family and take it out." Jian Xiu said coldly.
"Aren't we all one family? How can the calculation be so clear?" Old Li stammered.
"A family? In the early years, when they were making a lot of money, why didn't they take good care of Xuemei? Weren't they a family at that time?"
"You obviously didn't take her health seriously, but you have the nerve to blame her, saying that she's not pregnant. Isn't that just a waste of your time?"
"You don't have to disagree with what I say. Then we can go to the county magistrate and let him make the final decision to see if what I say makes sense."
As soon as these words came out, Lao Li and Jian Niu turned pale.
They are just ordinary people, how dare they go to the government to make trouble?
What's more, Jian Xiuke was personally conferred the title of Princess of Anning County and General Yongyi by the Emperor. Do they dare to go against her?
Not to mention them, in the entire Shun Dynasty, I'm afraid there are not many people who dare to mess with her!
"Since you don't say anything, do you agree to go to the government office? Very good, let's set off now."
After Jian Xiu finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards the door.
Seeing this, Jian Niu hurriedly stopped her and said, "No, no, no, Princess An Ning, please wait!"
Jian Xiu turned around and said, "Have you thought it through? Do you want to pay the money or divide the family?"
"This... this money has already been spent, how can we get it out?" Old Li said with a sad look on his face.
"So you mean to separate the family?"
Hearing this, Lao Li hesitated again.
She had a good brain and knew that this family must not be divided.
Now the entire Jian family relies on the first house. If the first house is divided up, where will they get the money?
Just as Jian Xiu said, the couple in the workshop alone earned more than 20 yuan a month.
Plus, the shop occasionally gives out gifts...
She could secretly hide all these and pass them off as her own.
At the same time, Zhang Xuemei is obedient and hardworking.
