"What do you mean?" Zhao Dawen got furious. What did Lao Er mean? What was going on? Did he want to get rid of him? Hahaha... It just so happens that he also wants to get rid of them. Who cares if he gives them a few small gifts every time?
Even if he failed the imperial examination, the status of a scholar would be enough for him to live a prosperous life. He could be a teacher with a good salary, which would be more than enough to support his family.
Forget the imperial examination, he can just lie down now. Does Lao Er really think he is a big shot and he can't survive without him? It’s so funny!
"It's nothing, I just saw some people clearly and figured out some things. Dad, there is one more thing I don't know if you know, the house in the county town was bought by my eldest brother."
Old man Zhao widened his eyes in shock. Oh no, how did the second brother know this? Finished! You know your own child well. The second child is not an easy person to deal with.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Houses in the county town are so expensive. Your elder brother is just studying and doesn't have much money to make, how can he afford it?" I can't admit it, even if I die.
"Dad, it's absolutely true. If you don't believe it, you can go to the government office to check the records and see whose name the house is registered under. My eldest brother not only has a house in the county town, but also these houses. In addition to studying in the county town, he also teaches. Jiawen and the others all studied in the school where he taught. I heard that the teachers there received a monthly salary of one tael of silver."
Wang knelt on the ground, muttering to herself, "It's over, it's all over. I have kept so many secrets secret, and now they are all exposed."
Zhao Dawen looked at his second brother, his heart filled with shock beyond words. He thought that the third brother had found out everything about him, but it turned out that he was also naked in front of his second brother?
Damn it, when will these two check on him? How to check these things? Why didn't he get any wind of it?
Old Sun was hit by one piece of news after another that she didn't know. Her mind was blank and she stared blankly at her spoiled son...
The old man had long guessed that the boss had been hiding more than one thing from him, but he remained calm, and after being shocked, he quickly adjusted his mood and thought of ways to deal with it.
"Brother, you didn't take home a penny of these coins and silver, and there's also a house in the county town..."
Zhao Dawen jumped up from the ground, "Shut up, I worked hard to earn money, why should I take it home? I'm studying by myself, don't I have to pay for food and accommodation? Besides, the house in the county town is mine, it's mine, what does it have to do with you? I just bought it, so what?"
The old man closed his cloudy old eyes. The eldest brother was indeed useless. After being blasted by the second brother, all came out. How can I recognize it at this time? Even if he admitted it, he couldn't say such things. After all, they didn't split up. After all, the second son's family handed over all their assets to the public.
Wang was also stunned and frightened. How could the head of the household be so stupid? Is now the time to say this? In the eyes of outsiders, they, the brothers, helped him for more than ten years. If outsiders hear it, will he still have a reputation? Did he forget that they didn't split up? Until the family is divided, you can’t keep secrets!
As the head of the household, is the straw on your head? Even a pig's brain can't do this!
Wang was exhausted both physically and mentally, and had lost all hope. She sat on the ground and sank into pieces. She thought that since her father-in-law was carrying her, she should be fine. She couldn't make it up anyway. She had such a bad teammate and she was really helpless.
"It has nothing to do with me, hahahaha... Dad, do you think it has anything to do with me?"
Zhao Dawen's eyes were red and he was extremely angry. how? Does this dead peasant still want to covet his house? As poor as he is, he wants to live in the county town, and he is not afraid of eating too much and eating himself to death.
"It has nothing to do with you. I saved the money with my own hard work!"
"Boss, just shut the fuck up!" Old man Zhao really couldn't stand it anymore. Did he have to add fuel to the fire at this time? He has no idea what he has done, and instead of being a coward, he has lost his mind and keeps arguing with the second one.
For the first time, Zhao Dawen was scolded by his father. Wang thought the scolding was great and the old man was really good to him. If it were her son, she would have slapped him twice.
"Dad, you scolded me?" Zhao Dawen looked at the old man in disbelief. Since he was a child, he had always received praises from his father. Today was the first time he was scolded.
"father!"
The old man's eyes were spitting fire, staring at Boss Wen so hard that his body went cold, and he closed his mouth involuntarily.
"Second brother, your eldest brother was not thinking clearly just now and was talking nonsense. Don't worry about it."
Zhao Dayong smiled, his eyes full of coldness, "Dad, I don't care. We are brothers, so I won't take anything elder brother says to heart. I just want to ask, we haven't divided the family yet, elder brother makes money, so I should have a share of the house in the county, right? What do you think?"
The old man had a bitter mouth and didn't know how to answer. Zhao Dawen wanted to curse, but the old man glanced at him and shut up in dismay.
"Second brother!"
"Second brother, actually this house was bought with money from my mother's family. You know, my parents have always subsidized us for these houses."
Old man Zhao looked at his eldest daughter-in-law with appreciation. She was the one who was quick to react. Boss, have these kids become stupid because of studying too much?
"Your parents bought it. Your sister-in-law's parents are really nice to you, even better than the boys at home. Hehehe, they are really nice!"
Wang had a bad feeling in her heart. Would her second brother go to his mother's house and tell this? No way? Definitely not.
"The eldest sister-in-law of the mansion said that it was bought by her parents. Let's put it aside for now. My eldest brother was paid one tael of silver a month, twelve taels of silver a day. I have inquired about it, and he has worked for six days. These days, he is a salary, but he takes food from home. Am I right about this?"
So, brother, should you take out this silver and include it in the public treasury? I've calculated it for you, and it's 72 taels per acre. Brother, I have never been to school, am I right? ”
Zhao Dawen finally realized what the second brother was trying to do. He wanted to settle the score with his brother. Before the family is divided, all the money earned by everyone belongs to the family.
He was also stupid. How could he not have thought of such a simple thing? Things were going so smoothly for him these days. Everyone revolved around him and all the money earned was given to him. He had almost forgotten that this family belonged to him alone.
Zhao Dawen wanted to slap himself to death for what he had just done.
"Second brother, have you heard that I..."
"Dad, is that so?"
Old man Zhao was in a dilemma and could only nod and say, "Yes." He would first stabilize the second son, and when the family business was divided later, he would say that the money was all gone.
Old Mrs. Sun was a little confused. What were they talking about? Why couldn't she understand?
