Eugenie with money [Grandet]

Hearing Grandet playing the family card, Eugenie responded softly with "Yes." Then she said nothing.

These days, she didn't take the initiative to approach Grandet and the notary, not only because she hadn't figured it out yet, but also because she knew that whoever acted first would take the initiative.

Now it was Grandet who could not hold his breath.

Grandet stepped forward to take her arm and took her up from the seat: "Well, there will always be a way to clear up the misunderstanding between us. The notary is here, and Te Bonfon will be here soon. No matter what your mother said in the will, I will obey her obediently, who told me to love you two. Now you won't be angry with me anymore. "

Eugenie allowed him to take her into the main room, and found that Te Pomphon was also sitting at the table.Seeing the rich only daughter coming downstairs, Te Pontfeng came to her and tried to give her a comforting hug, but Eugenie avoided her: "Thank you very much for coming." She bowed her knees and let her The movement of dodging by oneself is not so abrupt.

The notary signaled his nephew not to act too hastily with his eyes, and then took out a piece of paper with stamp duty: "Mr. Grandet, Miss Grandet, entrusted by Madame Grandet, I want to read her will."

This is the will that determines the fate of Grandet and Eugenie.

Grandet's body trembled, as if he couldn't bear to hear his wife who had just passed away. He moved the chair as close as possible to his daughter, trying to find spiritual support from her: "She has been thinking about us."

Eugenie glanced at the notary with watery eyes, as if asking, must I read it?

The notary had no choice but to shake his heart and shake the will to make it more flat, announcing to the father and daughter: Mrs. Grandet's last wish is that all the property under her name be owned by her only daughter, Eugenie Cole. Lang Tai inherits and does not accept doubts.

Even though she knew this was the result, Eugenie couldn't help but shed tears. That poor woman used her last strength to protect her daughter, but she was the one who benefited.For this heavy love, she will not allow herself to repeat the original owner's fate.

Grandet, on the other hand, seemed to have been drained of all his strength, and sat limply on the chair, without any expression on his face, only looking at the notary for a while, and Eugenie for a while.His eyes were so intense that he seemed to want Eugenie to say no.

Te Pontfeng said dryly to Eugenie: "Miss Eugenie, please don't be sad, what Mrs. Grandet has done for you is really..."

"Mr. Judge, can you please leave with the notary for a while, I have something to talk to my father." Eugenie came to her senses after being reminded by Te Pengfeng. She is not enjoying the victory yet. Sometimes, there are some things that need to be made clear to Grandet.

The notary and nephew looked at each other. At this time, no one was willing to go against the wishes of the only child. The two of them silently saluted Grandet and slowly exited the ancient mansion.

Grandet let the two of them come and go, staring blankly at the will on the table without moving.Eugenie didn't know what he was planning, and called out: "Father."

Seeing that Grandet's body trembled, he turned his head in a daze as if frightened, and finally focused his gaze on Eugenie's face, and quickly turned away to stare at the will again. Look at each other.

This set will work for the original owner, but Eugenie will not be moved at all. She quietly said to Grandet: "I said that day, Dad, there is a way to prevent those who are liquidated." People walked through the gates of Grandet's house."

"What are you talking about, you want to give up inheriting your mother's inheritance, right? You are really my good daughter, and you know what father cares about most." Grandet didn't dare to look directly into Eugenie's eyes just now, but now she doesn't blink He stared at her eagerly, trying to see the approval of himself in Eugenie's eyes.

It's a pity that Eugenie was shaking her head, and her words were not warm: "Dad, you misunderstood, this is the guarantee my mother gave me, and I will not give up my mother's heart."

"Then what else can we do?" Grandet's voice dropped suddenly: "The liquidators and tax collectors will come soon. They will count every grass and put all the money take away."

Speaking of this, Grandet looked at the newly replaced escalator in his home with reluctance, and also followed the escalator to see the vault that he could never see, and saw many strange faces coming in and out of his vault at will, with hands in his hands. What he took was the gold he had worked so hard to accumulate.

His body was trembling and shaking, and his tone was full of pleading: "You don't know how ruthless they are, they will create something out of nothing, they will..."

"There is a way to prevent them from coming." Eugenie didn't want to watch him act anymore, she didn't have a statuette to send to the old cooper: "I can ask you to take care of my property for me..."

"Really, you are really a caring angel. Don't worry, I will give you a lot of money every month." Grandet praised his daughter without hesitation, as if she was shining with golden light.He made promises that he didn't even believe in, and the tone of his vows seemed to be fulfilled.

Eugenie went on as if she hadn't heard it: "But we have to ask Mr. Notary to draw up a document stating that I ask you to manage the property for me. As my property manager, you should pay me every year income. For example, one hundred thousand francs a year."

"Why don't you go grab it?" Grandet was furious and yelled at his only daughter: "I bother to manage your property for you, and I have to pay you a hundred thousand francs a year. Do you know how much your mother's damn property is, in total Not a hundred thousand francs!"

Such words of disrespect for the deceased, spoken from Grandet's mouth, did not surprise Eugenie at all, she looked at Grandet coldly, without even a slight ups and downs in her voice: "Is that true, mother's property is even more Not even a hundred thousand francs, which is really disappointing. Then we have to ask the liquidator to check."

After speaking, Eugenie made the same gesture as Grandet did just now, to see clearly the direction of his vault through the new escalator.

Grandet's trembling this time was not feigned, he knew that he was caught by someone's weakness, just like every time he grasped his opponent's weakness.The face in front of him is so familiar, but the words spoken are so strange.

This is not his daughter.He thought so, and called out like this.Eugenie looked at the old man with disdain: "If father suspects that I am not your daughter, please show me the evidence."

Grandet couldn't produce evidence, not only could he not produce evidence, he knew in his heart that Eugenie was his daughter, not only because her appearance had not changed, but also because of Eugenie's cold-bloodedness and obsession with money. Exactly the same as himself.

"But one hundred thousand francs a year, how do you spend it?" Grandet still wanted to struggle.

Eugenie didn't give him this chance: "This is my problem, Dad. Please prepare one hundred thousand francs for this year. By the way, I want to tell you that if you tell me how to spend my money, I will still ask the person who liquidates the property to come to the door."

Faced with her free switching between father and father, Grandet discovered the law: he listened to her, he was an affectionate father, and once he disagreed, he was just a cold father.

"I can't afford [-] francs." Grandet couldn't decide whether to be a father or a father, so he changed his trick again: "I really don't have cash now, you know your mother is sick, and the family has already spent too much money. "

"Papa," Eugenie called Papa again, making Grandet think that he had finally touched her, but the next words made him vomit blood: "We both know where the money for mother's illness came from. We If you think you really have no money, you can consider writing a letter to Mr. De Grassan and selling some public debts."

"What?" He didn't know what had stuck the old cooper's neck, and he didn't dare to ask any more, for fear that his only daughter would say something he didn't want to hear again.

Seeing that he had no objection, Eugenie sent Nanon to fetch the notary and the president again.She wanted to put everything down on paper while Grandet was restless, lest the old cooper come up with other tricks to repay his debt.

Whether it is the notary or the President de Pompon, they all felt dizzy when they heard that Grandet agreed to give the only child an income of [-] francs a year. The only daughter was welcomed at the door of the Crochet's house.

But then Eugenie asked a notary to be a witness, and gave Nanon an annuity of one thousand francs a year, so that the two Crochets finally calmed down: at this speed of spending money, one hundred thousand francs a year should be There is nothing left, right?

When Nanon heard that the lady gave her such a large annuity, she looked excitedly at Grandet from time to time. She decided that even if the husband jumped up and said that she would not accept it, she would not listen to him for the first time in her life.

But the husband was still looking at the terms on the notarial certificate seriously, without even giving Nanon a look, which made her feel even more uneasy: "Miss, actually I don't need..."

"No, Nanon, this is what you deserve. As long as you are still willing to stay with me, no matter how much money you have." Eugenie held Nanon's rough hand: "I can only trust you."

"Gentlemen, I hope you will keep it secret." Grandet finally signed, and added this sentence before handing the notarial certificate to Eugenie.The notary and Mr. President nodded unanimously, as if they had never had any disagreements with Grandet before.

The two uncles and nephews of the Cloxu family walked out of the old mansion, and they couldn't help but look back together. The thick oak door blocked the candlelight inside. Te. Pengfeng asked his uncle: "Next time we come again, there will be some Is it different?"

The notary was still thinking about the [-] francs a year, and only raised his head when he heard what his nephew said: "Grandet is not a person who is so easy to compromise."
