Quick wear is not a cannon fodder

Now I heard Liu Dalang say that if I don't give him money, I won't be able to provide for him in the future. Mrs. Liu said, "Your father and I really don't have that much money. If we have any money, I will definitely give it to you."

It's a pity that Mrs. Liu's credit has gone bankrupt with Liu Dalang, so Liu Dalang would not believe it. He immediately said: "Anyway, you give me three thousand taels, otherwise I won't give up."

But Mrs. Liu didn't have it at all, so she couldn't take it out, so the mother and son froze there.

Liu Dalang said that he would not give up without giving him money, and then left.

Seeing Liu Dalang talking to Mrs. Liu about money, several concubines who did not dare to bring up the matter also came over after discussing with each other.

They were the worst off. Mrs. Liu cost them all 10,000 taels at the time. In fact, they didn’t have that much money at all. After all, they were born as concubines, and they themselves had no future. In this way, the wife’s background was naturally inferior. Naturally, the dowry was not that much for the first-in-law. In order to collect the ten thousand taels, they pawned almost all the jewelry, and then they collected the ten thousand taels that Mrs. Liu asked for.

Now tell them that Mrs. Liu only received 5,000 taels of silver from Liu Sanlang and his wife, and 8,000 taels of silver from Liu Dalang and his wife. This was too much for them. Naturally, after seeing Liu Dalang and his wife come to the door, they also came over.

——In fact, it was Mother Liu who correctly stated the amount of money that Madam Liu had received from Liu Dalang, and Liu Dalang believed that what Madam Liu said was true and did not believe Madam Liu's sophistry that Madam Liu was framing her.

In the past, the concubine and his wife would not dare to speak loudly to Mrs. Liu, for fear that the other party would label them as unfilial and affect their future prospects.

But now, their father has fallen and it seems impossible to recover. In this way, they don't have to worry about what impact Mrs. Liu will have on them by labeling them as unfilial.

Maybe it did have an impact, but compared to the few thousand taels of silver, they felt it had no impact.

Besides, if father knew that Mrs. Liu treated them differently, he would definitely reprimand her. Even if Mrs. Liu wanted to accuse them of being unfilial, she couldn't.

They found Mrs. Liu and told her the same story as Liu Dalang, asking Mrs. Liu to pay back the extra money they gave them. If she refused, they would ask their father to come over and make a judgment.

Master Liu would definitely be angry if he knew that his wife, who was always known as a virtuous man, treated his concubine like this. Then it would be Mrs. Liu who would be unlucky.

Hearing several concubines mention Mr. Liu, Mrs. Liu was a little worried at first, but she recovered instantly and said coldly: "You can sue if you want."

Anyway, the husband could no longer recover, and he had no money, so what if these people told Mr. Liu?

She was afraid of her husband because he was a high-ranking official and if she didn't do well, they could divorce her at any time. But now that her husband was white and had no money, what else was she afraid of?

It doesn't matter if she divorces her. She just doesn't have any money now. She has no idea how to support the big family. If her husband really divorces her, then she should let him worry about it.

Liu Erlang and several others couldn't help but look at each other in shock after hearing Mrs. Liu's unambiguous words.

They thought that Mrs. Liu would be afraid that they would complain to their father. After all, Mrs. Liu used to be a virtuous person and was always kind to concubines like them. Now that such a big thing has happened, she is not worried at all. They The father blames her? !

Liu Erlang and others didn't know that the Liu family had no money, so Mrs. Liu was not afraid of them complaining. She just thought that the other party was bluffing, so she turned around and said as if she was about to leave, "Then we are going to find father." !”

Mrs. Liu sneered: "Go."

She believed that her husband would not care about them, because she had told her husband before that if the family had no money, how would they live in the future.

There was no money left, and her husband divorced her, so what could she do?

She had to explain to Liu Dalang because Liu Dalang was her biological child, and she was afraid that if she didn't explain clearly, the other party would not support her in the future.

Even if these bastards were explained clearly, they would probably not support her in the future, so there was no need to waste time explaining.

Liu Erlang and the others saw that Mrs. Liu was not bluffing, and actually asked them to go find Mr. Liu. They couldn't help but look at each other, thinking, what's going on, is Mrs. Liu really not afraid that they will talk to their father about this matter, which will bring her trouble?

So then Mrs. Liu said: "Mom, then we really have to go find father..."

Mrs. Liu frowned and said, "Just go, what are you talking about?"

Seeing that Mrs. Liu was not afraid at all, everyone could only leave muttering to themselves.

They said they were going to Mr. Liu to report this issue, which was certainly true. Liu Erlang and the others immediately went to Mr. Liu to report this issue and asked him to give them justice.

Liu Erlang said: "My mother has a reputation as a virtuous person. It turns out that she is so virtuous. Father, please ask your mother to return to us the five thousand taels of silver that were deducted from us. We don't want the interest or anything like that. Even if you admit it, ”

As long as they have an extra five thousand taels of silver, their lives will be easier.

As a result, after listening to what Liu Erlang and others said, Mr. Liu frowned and scolded Mrs. Liu, but his reaction was not very violent. According to them, Mr. Liu should be like before, if his aunt made any mistakes, he would scold her. A scolding was all that was needed, so why did he just let it go so easily?

Little did they know that the Liu family had no money, so even if Mr. Liu heard about this, what would happen if he didn't let it go lightly? Do we really want to divorce Mrs. Liu? When the time comes, he will have no wife and no one to manage the backyard, which will be even more troublesome. After all, if nothing else, Mrs. Liu managing the backyard is better than those daughters-in-law managing the backyard. At least his wife manages the backyard, so he doesn't have to worry about his wife treating him badly. , but if he has to change several daughters-in-law to manage the backyard, God knows if they will treat him badly.

So after scolding him for a while, he said: "In this case, let the third child come out with some money, and this matter will be over."

Doesn’t it mean that the family has no money? The third child only received 5,000 taels that year, so he must still have a lot of money on hand. Can’t this matter be solved?

Master Liu asked the third child to take out the money. Liu Erlang and the others couldn't help but be startled. They wanted to get the money, not to let the third child take the money to the public house. In that case, they would still have no money. How could this be allowed? They just Want money.

So he continued to mention this matter immediately and said: "If the third child takes advantage, let's take it. As long as our aunt will provide us with our share."

When they thought that 5,000 taels of silver could buy almost 500 acres of land, and that the annual income in the future would be enough to cover their family's expenses, the concubines couldn't help but be excited. It was hard for them not to be excited about this huge sum of money.
