There is a fairy wife at home [Red Mansion]

After dinner that day, all members of the Gu family gathered together again.

Gu Zhongcheng also came back, and after learning the whole story from Gu Qing, he was unambiguous immediately and beat Gu Kang with a stick first.Gu Kang cried for his father and mother in pain, but Bai's heartbroken cried and dared not stop him. Gu Kang could only run towards the old lady, and Gu Zhongcheng chased after her with a stick.

I met Gu Mengcheng and his wife on the way, but they didn't dissuade Gu Zhongcheng. They glanced coldly and went to see Mrs. Gu.

Gu Zhong deliberately made a sudden move, and hated his youngest son even more.

Gu Zhongcheng was never one to take care of his children, he just took the money and was free, this time he beat Gu Kang, one was really angry at Gu Kang for his debts, and the other was to show the big house.Gu Zhongcheng doesn't know how much he weighs?He doesn't want to separate.Just looking at Da Fang's attitude, it's really hard to fool me this time.

The main room was brightly lit, Mrs. Gu sat upright, glanced at the people present one by one, and sighed.Although it happened suddenly, Mrs. Gu is not a fool. She has experienced major events in her life, and she has thought about her family's affairs carefully.

"Boss, if you pay back the money immediately, how much will you have to pay?" Mrs. Gu has Gu Zhongcheng's old rules before her, and she is very clear about some things in the gambling house.

Gu Mengcheng said: "The rules of the gambling house are put there. Nine outs and thirteen returns. I borrowed 500 taels. If I pay it back now, it will be 650 taels. Although it is not full of one month, it is still at the end of the month. All interest will be counted.”

"Return!" Mrs. Gu said decisively, "Daughter-in-law, how much cash do you have at home?"

Mrs. Gao is the housekeeper, so she knows the amount in the public account, so she is not surprised to use the public money to pay off the debt, but this time she didn't hide her thoughts, her face was always cold, and she answered with lowered eyes: "There are 280 yuan in cash. Seven taels and 350 texts."

The old lady Gu looked at Gu Zhongcheng: "Your son doesn't know, you should know that our family has some wealth. Last time, you, an old man, got into trouble. Not only did you sell the land, but you even hid some money that you planned to pass on to your children and grandchildren. All the good things have been sold, and now your son has learned from you well, but there is nothing to pawn at home."

"Mother..." Gu Zhongcheng was a jerk elsewhere, and somehow he was a bit filial. When Mrs. Gu said it, he immediately knelt down, his face flushed.

Mrs. Gu stopped looking at him, and looked at her eldest son: "Selling land, now we can only sell land."

Gu Mengcheng's eyes were red: "Mother, the land can't be sold! After selling the land..."

Mrs. Gu sighed: "There is no other way. Before selling the land, I will be the master and divide the family first."

Everyone was surprised.

Even the Gao family who proposed the separation of the family first did not expect it to be so easy.

"The tree has big branches, and when I die, the family will also be divided, and now it will be a few years ago." Mrs. Gu seemed indifferent: "In the matter of dividing the family, I am impartial, and I will divide according to the rules. In terms of rules, the family property is divided equally, and I keep 180% for the elderly. Our family has a total of 54 mu of land, and I keep [-] mu. You have [-]% for each of the three bedrooms, each with [-] mu. As for the house, it is where we live. It will be distributed. You can open another door yourself, or it can still be like this. The summer grain at home will be harvested, and the money sold will be divided evenly after enough rations are left. The granary, kitchen and other trivial matters behind the house The sundries are divided evenly, you can see the division."

Taking a breath, Mrs. Gu said again: "There are more than 200 taels of silver in Gongzhong, let's give 200 taels to Erfang."

Bai couldn't help it: "Mother, what about the money owed to the gambling house?"

It seems that the big head of the public is given to me, but it is only 200 taels, and the debt is 650 taels. Does the second room have to pay the rest?Even though she has taken advantage of it, Bai still feels that she has suffered a great loss. In her opinion, the money should be paid out before the family is separated.

The old lady Gu ignored her and asked Gu Zhongcheng directly: "Second brother, what do you think?"

Although Gu Zhongcheng was heartbroken, he didn't dare to refute: "Mother's division is fair."

Old Madam Gu burst into tears as she wiped her eyes and said, "You father and son are worthless, so I don't care about you, I still have to watch Qing'er and Jing'er, even if Xiang'er hasn't made a kiss yet, I still have to care. But I can't be too biased. From now on, I will live with your elder brother and sister-in-law, and let them pay your debts for you. How can I say it. Of the [-] acres of land on my side, I will keep [-] acres for food and sell [-] acres. I'll give it to you to pay off the debt. When Xiang'er gets married in the future, I'll pay the dowry!"

Gu Mengcheng wanted to say something, but Gao stopped him.

Seeing that Mrs. Gu was sad, Gu Ting immediately said, "Grandma, you live with me. The third room is just me and Jin Shu, so the burden is small."

"That won't work. I'm the eldest son, so I should take care of the elderly." Gu Mengcheng was unambiguous about this matter, and besides, he was not stupid. The old lady's way of dividing the family was obviously to take advantage of the second family, but the actual maintenance was for the big family. Three bedrooms.

After all, if the second wife is interfering with each other and refuses to separate, is it possible that they really don't care about Gu Kang?Casinos don't care about that much.

The old lady Gu patted Gu Ting's hand in comfort: "Sibao is filial, grandma knows. Grandma still follows your uncle. Your uncles and aunts are all filial, so I can't be blamed."

Old Madam Gu was worried about Gu Ting, but if she followed Gu Ting, Da Fang's reputation would be too bad.

Mrs. Gao may not have any objection to the separation of the family, but she thinks clearly that the current situation is better than using the company's money to pay off the debt without a separation.

The people in the second room were naturally not very satisfied, but when Gu Zhongcheng made his statement, Bai did not dare to refute it, and Gu Qing and the others were juniors, so it was not easy to open their mouths casually.

"Since there is no objection, then let the uncles in the other rooms be notified and come to be a witness tomorrow." Mrs. Gu waved her hand after finishing speaking.

At this time, Chen's mouth moved, and she whispered something into Gu Qing's ear: "The house in Fucheng hasn't been divided yet."

Gu Qing frowned and said: "At the beginning, the house in Fucheng and the 500 taels of silver were all paid by the Chen family for the medical treatment of the fourth brother."

Gu Qing's voice was neither high nor low, but it was enough for everyone to hear clearly.

Bai's eyes lit up, and he turned around immediately: "I almost forgot, mother, the house in Fucheng and the 500 taels of silver haven't been divided yet!"

Some people did forget it before, but some people didn't, it's just that their seniority is low, so it's hard to mention it.

Gu Mengcheng said: "It was originally used for the Four Treasures to cure diseases. Besides, it has already spent a lot of time to cure diseases, and it has not been cured yet."

"Then it won't cost 500 taels of silver, right? Even if the silver is gone, there is still a house!" Mrs. Bai stared at it.

Seeing that he was involved, Gu Ting expressed his opinion: "Although the medical expenses are paid by the Chen family, they are still considered public expenses, so naturally they should be shared."

Old lady Gu looked a little tired: "How much money is left?"

Gu Mengcheng thought for a while, and said: "Sibao's medicine is taken once every five days, which is relatively expensive. It costs five or six taels of silver at a time, and it is nearly 40 taels in a month. In addition, the old doctor who treated Sibao was a retired doctor from the palace. The imperial doctor under his command paid ten taels of silver for the first consultation, and then performed acupuncture every day, one tael a time, and 30 taels a month. Calculated in this way, it cost 100 taels for the thirty or forty days of treatment. There is also a man who lives in Fucheng, needs money for food, and buys all kinds of utensils, and spends 50 taels. Now there are 350 taels left."

"The doctor said how long it will take for Sibao's illness?"

"At least two or three months." In fact, the medicine has been changed now, and it is not as expensive as before, but Gu Mengcheng didn't mention it.He knew why Mrs. Gu asked, and he wanted to leave more money for the nephew's medicine in his heart.

Sure enough, the old lady Gu said: "If the treatment is sloppy, it will be counted as three months. I have been treated for one month, and there are two months left. One month is 100 taels, and I will leave 200 taels for Sibao to treat the disease. You don't have No complaints, this money was originally used for Sibao's medical treatment."

Bai Shi wanted to complain, but Gu Qing stopped her.

Mrs. Gu asked again: "What's the price of the house in Fucheng?"

Earlier, the Chen family said that the house was worth 500 taels, but Mrs. Gu didn't believe it. If it was so valuable, it would be equivalent to paying nearly a thousand silver in compensation. No matter how rich the Chen family was, they would not be so generous.

Gu Mengcheng really understood it at the beginning, and replied: "The location of the house is not bad, and it's not too small. It can be worth about 200 taels."

Old lady Gu nodded: "Share! Divide evenly! 150 taels and a house in Fucheng, 50 taels for a family. As for the house, you can sell the cents or pay for it. The house will be counted as 200 taels!"

Bai was not happy: "When the Chen family gave it, they said that the house in Fucheng is worth 500 taels. How long has it been, and there are only 200 taels left?"

Gao snorted coldly: "How much is it worth? My siblings ask Qing's daughter-in-law. I also want to know whether the Chen family's words are true."

Chen's face flushed, she lowered her head and dared not speak at all.

At the time of the compensation, it wasn't that the Chen family lied deliberately, but it was an estimate. The price was false, but the house was real. Besides, the main thing to look at was the 500 taels in cash. Giving an extra house was to increase sincerity and take advantage of the trend Dumped the hot potato.However, Chen could not say these words.

"Okay! Let's get down to business!" Mrs. Gu stopped the two sides from arguing.

Gao was the first to speak: "We don't need the house in Fucheng."

"Mother, I'm studying in the county, and I don't need a house in Fucheng." Gu Qing opened his mouth first, even if Bai had something to say, he couldn't say it.Gu Qing looked at Gu Ting and said with a smile: "Didn't the fourth brother pay homage to the master in Fucheng? Since he wants to study with him, he naturally has to live in Fucheng, why not live in the current house."

The reason why Gu Qing didn't want the house in Fucheng was that he had thought about the weirdness of the house for a long time, and he really didn't need it.

Jiang Jinshu, who had been keeping silent all this time and just watched from the sidelines, said, "Fourth Master, let's take a house."

"Okay." Gu Ting naturally listened to her.

The old lady Gu said: "That's it, Sibao, you give 70 taels to your uncle and uncle, and the house in Fucheng will belong to you in the future."

The next day, Gu Mengcheng invited the two grandfathers of the Gu family and several uncles next door.

The others were very surprised at the sudden separation of the Gu family, and even persuaded them a few words, thinking that there was some conflict between the Gu family brothers.Mrs. Gu didn't hide anything, she told about Gu Kang.The elders of the Gu family thought of Gu Zhongcheng's past, and then looked at Gu Kang's habits. How could the other two be convinced if the family was not separated?Hard to get together is equal to no peace at home.

As a result, everyone stopped persuading him, but it was a pity for Gu Qing.

The family separation document was drawn up according to the old lady Gu's agreement the day before, and the elders witnessed that Gu Mengcheng, Gu Zhongcheng, and Gu Ting from the third room all signed and agreed, and the matter was settled.

Send away the elders who are witnesses, and go home in each room.

Gu Qing came to meet his parents in private: "What are the parents going to do about the third brother? Uncle said that he will go to Fucheng to pay back the money tomorrow."

Gu Zhongcheng calculated in his mind: 200 taels from the public house, 50 taels from the money given by the Chen family, and 70 taels from the house, a total of 320 taels.Mrs. Gu gave another ten mu of land. Although they have a lot of land, one mu is worth seven or eight taels, and ten mu is worth seven or eighty taels.Another 80 taels is enough!

Gu Zhongcheng said so, and then said: "After the separation, our second room has 54 acres of land. Kang'er has lost enough, and the rest has to take care of Qing'er. Qing'er is studying. How about it, Qinger's mother, I know you have a private house, didn't you take it to your natal uncle to do business with, don't need too much, just bring back 130 taels, and our family can sell another [-] mu of land, that's enough."

"Where do I have so much money, no!" Mrs. Bai spent twenty years of saving and saving, and finally saved some money, so she was willing to throw it all away at once.I can't breathe just thinking about it.

Seeing that Gu Zhongcheng had a charter, Gu Qing went back to the house, no matter how reluctant Bai was, he would eventually give in.

The family separation caught Gu Qing by surprise, and he had to face a difficult problem. What should Gu Kang do?

Gu Kang was incompetent and out of tune. He knew it earlier, but before there was a family watching, and when something happened, the family took care of it. Now that the houses are separated, if Gu Kang makes trouble again, Gu Qing will be the only one who suffers. .The family's savings were running out, and he was determined not to let Gu Kang suffer any further.
