Eugenie with money [Grandet]

"Who isn't!" Grandet's voice suddenly broke in, obviously he was the one who eavesdropped.The anger just now has passed, and after weighing the pros and cons, this person who is only focused on money plans to win over his daughter from now on:

"I'm the same as your mother. We worry about you more than anything else. Otherwise, how could I let Nanon come in and out of the warehouse at will, and let her bring all the delicacies in the world to you."

The notary was stunned by such shameless words, and heard the only child say to her father: "Delicacy in the world, but sometimes delicious food can't heal a wounded heart." Then Grandet turned and walked towards the house with big strides. Don't wait for them.

"Mademoiselle Eugenie," cried the notary in disapproval, "your father..."

"Mr. Notary, are you trying to say that I shouldn't speak to my father like this?" Eugenie raised her gray eyes, and there was something shining in them: "Mother is so ill, I always have to think about myself--Papa His body is still fine."

The notary paused, and looked at the girl he had known for more than 20 years in disbelief: "What do you mean?"

"You are the clearest, Mr. Notary." Eugenie's low voice contained an indescribable bewitching meaning: "If my mother hadn't given up the right to manage the three estates, she would have been different in these years life."

The notary finally stopped: "Miss, you heard it just now." He said to Eugenie firmly.

Eugenie shook her head: "No, I didn't hear anything, I just think that I should have a different life from my mother. And this needs your help. You will help me, Mr. Notary? "

Notary Crochet fixedly looked into those gray eyes, and found that they were full of firmness. For the first time, he wondered if his nephew married such an heiress, would he be able to guarantee that Grandet's wealth would be incorporated into the Crochet family? ?

"Hey, are you guys skipping dinner?" Grandet, who had gone back and forth, yelled at the two people who were looking at each other at the top of the steps: "Could it be that I was wrong before and wanted to pursue my daughter? ..."

"Sir, it's better for the lady to deliver food to the wife. Only when she sees the lady can the wife eat." Nanon was not afraid of death to intercept the old cooper's words, determined to take back his temper towards the master as he got older. The softer concept.

Eugenie no longer paid any attention to the notary's reaction. What happened today was enough to make the notary think about it for a few days, and she could use this time to persuade Madame Grandet.

Mrs. Grandet had never disobeyed her husband's opinion in her life, and she was terrified when she heard that Eugenie wanted her to make a will in advance: "Your father will prepare enough money for you." She thought that Eugenie would make a will in advance. Yeni was only worried about her dowry: "Besides, your father won't let you get married in the past few years." When you get married, you need to prepare a dowry, and Mrs. Grandet felt that her husband would not be so anxious to divide the property.

Even though Grandet had released the supervision over the warehouse, Nanon, who had been under his influence for decades, still only lit two candles in the room. These were not white candles. Deeugenie's eyes were always watery, and she looked as if she was about to shed tears at any moment.

Persuading Madame Grandet to make a will, Eugenie was also very upset-it seemed that Madame Grandet would never get better.But Mrs. Grandet did not make a will, and Grandet would coax herself to give up the inheritance as in the original book. Even if Eugenie would not be persuaded like the original owner, she was unwilling to face Grandet's chatter.

Mrs. Grandet made a will, so she can have the confidence to deal with Grandet.Eugenie presented the facts to Mrs. Grandet: "Mom, you know that Papa always wants to take everything into his own hands. If you don't make a will in advance, I might be forced to marry a..."

Madame Grandet's eyes flashed unwillingness: "No, he can't treat you like this."

"Mom, think about what Dad did. If someone tempted him with gold, he would do anything."

"If you have money in your hand, he won't dare." Mrs. Grandet finally understood the joints, and firmly held Eugenie's hand: "You will have money, a lot of money. Tomorrow To-morrow, the notary and M. Treponfon will be called, and I will have them as witnesses."

"Oh, mother, thank you for everything you have done for me." Eugenie kissed Mrs. Grandet's skin-like cheek: "Believe me, this is just a guarantee for me, as long as my father doesn't force me Doing something against your will has no effect on anything.”

There is no other sentence that can reassure Mrs. Grandet as much as this sentence. Even if she hopes that her daughter will live better, she is unwilling to see the father and daughter really turn against each other.Hearing that making a will has no effect on everything, she fell asleep peacefully again.

At dawn the next day, Grandet wanted to inspect his wealth kingdom, but Eugenie stopped him: "Father, mother wants to see Mr. Notary and Mr. President of the Judge today, why don't you wait at home? "

Grandet was a little puzzled: "Is her illness cured? The doctor said she can see people. Why does she want to see the notary?"

Eugenie shook her head: "Mother told me this before going to bed yesterday, I think you'd better meet with me."

Relying on his intuition about money, Grandet gave up his inspection plan and went to invite the notary and Treponfon in person.Along the way, he tried to get words out of the notary's mouth, wondering if his wife's sudden desire to see the notary had something to do with his conversation with Eugenie yesterday.

The notary kept his mouth shut, saying that he also knew nothing about Mrs. Grandet's sudden request for a meeting: "Sir, we have to meet the unreasonable demands of the patients, even if this delays some serious business, don't you think so?"

Grandet felt that there was something in the notary's words, but he didn't know what was behind them, so he had to take him to his sick wife's bedside.The doctor gave Madame Grandet a potion in the morning, and now she seemed to be in good spirits.

"Girl, are you much better than what I saw, so you want to make the notary and Pengfeng happy together?" Grandet asked his wife rudely, wanting to see from her face that she treats him Surrender.

Mrs. Grandet greeted the notary and Treponfon weakly, and then said to Grandet: "My friend, you know that I am not well."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Did Eugenie not take good care of you?" Grandet remembered what the notary reminded himself yesterday, and realized that his wife was more beneficial to him than dead, so he finally slowed down his tone: "Let's not say spoiling things Well, you'll be all right, you're a Labetrier after all."

Mrs. Grandet did not refute her husband, but turned to the notary: "Notary Crochet, as a person who has received three inheritances and shared property with her husband, can I make a will according to my own wishes?"

She is serious.The first thought occurred to the notary that she was not a woman lying in bed waiting to die, but Eugenie.She did it.The notary looked anxiously at Grandet, for fear that he would blame himself for the crime, since he had only spoken to Eugenie alone yesterday.

Mrs. Grandet invited herself here today, and the Crochet family will be hated by Grandet.

Grandet looked at his wife viciously, and refused to believe that she could say such an orderly thing.Then he turned his cold eyes to the notary, and asked viciously, "Did I put the rats in the rice jar myself, Mr. notary?"

Te Pengfeng coughed lightly, which made the notary, who was a bit unsteady, stabilize his body.What's the matter with making a will? If the only child heiress has disposable property in her hands, and this property is won for her by herself, then she will be grateful to herself, and the nephew's chances of winning will be even greater.

As for how the only daughter thought of asking her mother to make a will, and how she persuaded her, in the face of huge interests, the notary thought she did a good job.Even in the face of Grandet's cannibalistic eyes, he still assured Mrs. Grandet in his usual gentle voice: "Of course you can make a will according to your own wishes."

"Yes," Teppongfeng, unwilling to be lonely, echoed his uncle's words: "The law stipulates that everyone has the right to dispose of their own property, as long as she is conscious."

"No, she has a fever." Grandet seized this sentence, and said loudly to the notary and the president: "She needs to recover from her illness, and she needs to rest. So, gentlemen, let's go downstairs. Leave the poor woman alone."

"The doctor did a test on mom just now, which can prove that she is absolutely conscious." Eugenie walked in while holding the hot milk prepared for Mrs. Grandet.

Grandet wanted to make a hole in Eugenie's face: "Miss, this is all your fault, isn't it? You are going to put your hands in my wallet and empty it out."

"Grandet," the poor woman cried feebly, "Eugénie doesn't know what you are talking about, she just does what I tell you."

What the poor woman said could not dispel Grandet's anger in the slightest. He shouted to Eugenie: "Do you think I can't do anything about you? I will deprive you of your inheritance."

"You can't." Madame Grandet heard the old cooper's ruthless words, her voice was full of urgency, she felt that Eugenie's worry last night was justified, and she shouted to Grandet with all her strength: "At least my share, you can't."

After finishing speaking, she ignored Grandet's cannibalistic eyes and asked the notary feebly: "Mr. Notary, Mr. Grandet has no right to interfere with my share, right?"

After receiving the affirmative reply from the notary, Mrs. Grandet, fearing that she would lose her courage, asked the notary and Mr. President to perform their duties now.Both Grandet and Eugenie were invited out of the room, and they looked at each other at the door.
