The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 2216

[Chapter 2216 Tie Kui Fanwai (140)]

A few years ago, Mr. Meng San returned to Beijing with Mr. Zhou. The two came back from their hometown only after receiving a letter from the old man. As for Meng Guangpeng’s generation, he did not call back.

After not seeing him for three years, Ruhui felt that the Zhou family had changed a lot. The most obvious manifestation is that the clothes are also changed to bright colors such as bright red, unlike the dark colors like crow blue and red sandalwood before.

Seeing her like this, Ruhui thought that she still needed to change the environment. No, Zhou shi came out of the shadows of the past.

Because Meng Shangshu retired, there were fewer posts in the house, and the entertainment naturally decreased. Also, this part of the expenses will be saved. When the Lantern Festival came out, there were still more than 2,000 taels of silver on the account.

After the Lantern Festival, Mrs. Meng called Mr. Meng, Meng Ranxi and other heads of the rooms to the upper court.

The three siblings, Shi Yin, fell asleep before Meng Ranxi came back. Looks, some are not good-looking.

Ruhui asked, “What? But what’s wrong?” This time the old man asked them to come over, and he should just talk about the separation of the family. The specific estimate is not so fast. In theory, there should be no disputes.

“No, it went smoothly. The uncle and the third uncle both agreed to split up. It’s just that I was in a panic.” I was always looking forward to splitting up, but at this stage, my heart was extremely heavy.

Ruhui said a few words of relief and then asked, “Did the old man say anything about the separation after the family?” The old lady liked the fun so much, I was afraid that she would not be willing to let them all move out.

With a sigh of relief, Meng Ranxi said, “The old man’s meaning is to split up the family first, and then we will move out after the two old immortals pass away. But after the family split, each room will be in charge of its own.” The old lady likes to be lively. I’m afraid I can’t take it anymore.

“The old man is most afraid of parting. It’s not bad to divide the production without dividing the family.” She wanted to move out, but Meng Ranxi definitely didn’t want to. After all, he was raised by Mr. Meng’s husband and wife, and he has deep feelings for the two old people.

Seeing that Ruhui didn’t say she would move out, Meng Ranxi breathed a sigh of relief. He knew very well that Ruhui didn’t like the big house and always wanted to move out.

It’s good to live in a single family outside, but he can’t bear the old man and the old lady.

When the first month came out, the Meng family called everyone over. Ruhui also followed.

Meng Shangshu asked the big housekeeper to read all the properties in the mansion, and said, “This house and Jitian are both ancestral properties, and there is no distinction. The other property leaders get 70%, and the remaining second and third rooms are divided equally.”

The old man treated his three sons equally, and did not favor anyone. This industry is also divided fairly. However, the Meng family is not a wealthy family with limited assets. In addition to being allocated a house, a shop and 500 acres of fertile land, the second and third rooms also have 6,000 taels of silver.

It looks like a lot, but there are a lot of heirs in the second and third houses. Evenly divided on everyone’s head, very few. And this is also the reason why Ruhui is reluctant to fight. Instead of trying to figure out the family’s property, it’s better to spend your mind on the business, which will make more money.

Master Meng San and Meng Ranxi had no opinion on this, so the family separation was considered smooth.

However, Meng Ranxi did not go to the house with the house deed and land deed, but went to Meng Shangshu and said that he wanted to divide the second house.

There are no elders in the second room, only three brothers. But because of what happened back then, Meng Ranxi never gave Aunt Gui and brothers Meng Guangshu a good look. Even now, he has not changed his attitude. So the Meng family split up, and he couldn’t wait to get rid of the Meng Guangshu family.

Meng Shangshu has always disliked the Meng Guangshu brothers. Now that there are no elders in the second room, there is nothing wrong with Meng Ranxi’s family separation. Meng Shangshu nodded and said, “You can divide it up if you want!” Meng Ranxi had already experienced and practiced it, and he knew how to do many things without saying much.

With Meng Shangshu’s approval, Meng Ranxi called the Meng Guangshu brothers and told them about the separation of the family.

Meng Ranxi said: “Today, the family is divided, and you know what property the second room will be divided into. Now, let’s divide these things!”

Meng Guangshu said, “Third brother, can we not separate?” After the family is separated, everything is up to you.

The family has not devoted any resources to the two brothers, so Meng Guangshu is only a scholar till now. And his younger brother Meng Guanghong is still in white.

After Meng Guangshu failed again at the age of 18, he felt that there would be no result if he continued the test, so he went to beg the old lady.

The old lady was the most soft-hearted, and for the sake of her second son who died young, she told Meng Shangshu about this. Not long after, Meng Guangshu was working as a clerk copying documents in the yamen of Yingtianfu. Over the years, I have also been promoted.

The more I stayed in the yamen, the more I knew how deep the water was. If you don’t have a background, it is said that you can get along in the yamen, and it is difficult to keep the errands at hand.

Meng Ranxi glanced at him and said, “Without my parents, there are only the three of us left. Now we are all married, and living together will cause trouble.” He could not possibly be willing to support the Meng Guangshu brothers.

Meng Guanghong said strangely: “Brother, why are you begging him? He wanted us to get out of here for a long time. Now that we have the opportunity, why would we miss it.”

Meng Ranxi ignored Meng Guanghong at all, and said to Meng Guangshu, “I will get 70% of these properties and give you 30%. The house and shop have already been priced. What do you want?”

Meng Guangshu heard this and looked up at Meng Ranxi. In the Ming Dynasty, the descendants were more important than the concubines, so many families paid a settlement fee after the concubine got married. Like the Korean government, that’s what it does. Meng Ranxi would suffer a loss by dividing 30% of the property he gained to his brothers.

As a result, before he could speak, Meng Guanghong said, “If the third brother is really generous, we should divide these industries equally. Anyway, the third sister-in-law is rich, so it’s not bad. But our brothers will depend on these industries to live in the future.”

Meng Guang’s face turned black: “Shut up for me.”

Meng Ranxi didn’t give Meng Guanghong a single look, she just said to Meng Guangshu, “Go back and think about it, and then reply to me after you think about it.”

Meng Guangshu nodded and said, “Okay.” After speaking, he dragged Meng Guanghong out.

Ruhui was in the back room and heard the conversation of the three of them clearly. After the two brothers left, Ruhui came out and said, “Don’t be angry, Meng Guangshu can be considered a sensible person.” As for Meng Guanghong, she was not in her eyes at all. Until now, I still can’t recognize my status, and sooner or later without the protection of the Meng family, I will fall.

“I’m not angry.” It’s okay to be angry with them. If it wasn’t for his reputation, he would not want to give Meng Guanghong a penny.

Even if she wasn’t angry, Meng Ranxi would not be in a good mood. In order to make him happy, Ruhui said, “It’s been a long time since I went to the Fortune Restaurant for dinner. I’ll go out tomorrow for Babao Duck and Sauce Pig Trotter!”

Meng Ranxi shook her head and said, “It’s not suitable for you to just divide the family. If you want to eat, I’ll go buy two tomorrow and bring them back.”

Ruhui pursed his lips and smiled: “How can two be enough? Brother Tuan can eat one by himself.” Although the group brother is less than ten years old, his appetite is not small.

Talking about her children, Meng Ranxi’s mood instantly improved: “Then buy four.” The sauce pig’s trotters are really expensive, and if you have four, you’ll have to get rid of half a month’s salary. But now that the family is separated, he no longer has any scruples about buying anything.

Meng Ranxi said nothing, and the next day when he came back, he brought four trotters in sauce, and the group brother showed his white teeth with joy when he saw it.

At this time, the maid replied that the Meng Guangshu brothers had come.

Ruhui took several children into the back room.

Meng Ranxi was a little surprised when she saw that the two brothers had colors on their faces. Obviously, the two must have had a fight after going back yesterday.

“Decided what to do?”

Meng Guangshu said: “Third brother, I want a house, plus one hundred acres of fertile land. Third brother, I will make up the money for you.”

In order to avoid trouble, all the properties that Meng Shangshu is going to divide have been appraised. The property and silver allocated to the second room are almost 20,000 taels in total. In this way, the Meng Guangshu brothers can only get three thousand taels of silver each. And the three-entry house plus 100 mu of paddy fields, the total price is 4,700 taels.

The reason why Meng Guangshu wanted the house and the property was very simple. Once the house was settled, there would be a place to live. Moreover, the house is in a good location and large, and it will be possible to live in it with children and grandchildren in the future. And the land yield is guaranteed under drought and flood, and the paddy fields in the suburbs cannot be bought with money.

Meng Ranxi asked Meng Guanghong, “How about you?”

“I want a shop, plus 100 mu of paddy fields. I’ll supply you with the poor money.”

Meng Ranxi nodded and said, “Yes. You will give me the difference tomorrow morning, and I will go to the yamen with you to transfer the property.”

In fact, he suffered a big loss from this separation. It’s just that the most important thing for a person in officialdom is reputation. If he wants to go far in his career, he can’t bear a reputation for treating his younger brother harshly for 1,800 taels of silver.

Ruhui asked Meng Ranxi, “Can they really get such a large amount of money?”

Meng Ranxi said, “I don’t know. I should be able to, but if I can’t take it out, the house and the shop will naturally not be given to them.” Ruhui’s dowry included a five-storied mansion. Meng Ranxi liked it very much. In addition, the house is also close to the Yamen. So Meng Guangshu wanted a house, and he agreed without even thinking about it.

Early the next morning, the Meng Guangshu brothers held a box of gold ingots and gave them to Meng Ranxi.

After confirming that the gold was real and the quantity was correct, Meng Ranxi took them to the yamen to handle the transfer.

Looking at these gold ingots, Ru Huidu sighed with emotion: “Aunt Gui is really hidden!” You must know that Aunt Gui has been famous for being frugal in the mansion over the years, and the clothes she wears will turn white after washing. Reluctant to throw it away. But he didn’t expect to hold such a large sum of money in his hand.

Mai Sui said, “Yes! Over the years, she has even sold the embroidery she embroidered! I also thought that she was really struggling!”

Ruhui smiled and said, “If it weren’t for this, she wouldn’t be able to keep the gold.” Fortunately, Mr. Meng Er died early. If it wasn’t for Mr. Meng’s support, how could she be able to live in the Meng family with Concubine Gui’s ability. So comfortable.

ps: No one took the child in the afternoon, and he didn’t start writing until his father came back from get off work. Sorry to keep everyone waiting.
