Tie Kui Extra Story (141)
Chen was very envious of the smooth separation of the second bedroom of the Meng family, and she hoped that the third bedroom would also be separated.
Ruhui smiled and said, "Don't think about it. We can separate because our parents-in-law are gone." There is no parents-in-law, and there is too much grievance between the husband and the two younger brothers. Therefore, it is good for everyone to divide the family earlier.
Mrs. Chen just thought about it: "I know. Aunt Hong is pregnant again. With my father-in-law's love for her, how could it be possible to separate the family now." To separate the family now, Meng Guangwu took the lead. And Aunt Hong's future children will not get a penny. With the love of the third master for Aunt Hong, as long as he is alive, the family will not be separated.
Ruhui smiled lightly: "So, the money you earn is the only one you can rely on."
All the property fell into the hands of Master Meng San, and she didn't have the ability to get it out. Therefore, Mrs. Chen didn't think too much: "I can only think this way. By the way, sister-in-law three, there are too many people who have been allocated three rooms to us in the public office. I am going to release a group of them." Well, she doesn't have that much money to support idlers.
"This matter, I have to discuss it with your third brother." She doesn't want any of the servants of the Meng Mansion except those who work in her yard. However, she can't decide this alone. After all, Meng Ranxi has lived in the Meng family for so many years, and she still has affection for some people.
Not long after the separation, Master Meng San took Mrs. Zhou back to his hometown. After being out for so long, he missed Aunt Hong and the child very much.
The old lady asked him to stay a little longer, but it's a pity that Master Meng San didn't listen. After he left, the old lady fell ill.
When Ruhui went to visit the old lady, she couldn't help but vomited when she smelled the choking smell of medicine. Please come to the doctor for a pulse, saying that it is likely to be a slippery pulse. But the days are still shallow, and it will take some time to be sure.
When the old lady heard this, she recovered from her illness, "Go back and rest quickly, I don't need you to take care of me here."
Ruhui has to suffer a crime every time she becomes pregnant, and this time is no exception.
When Huaiyuan was a child, she stopped vomiting because she ate pickled hot and sour radish and cucumber. But this time, eating this is useless.
He vomited up what he had eaten, and Ruhui was limp and without any strength at all.
Meng Ranxi shook her hand and said, "Hui'er, this baby doesn't matter whether it's male or female. We won't have another baby after this." Seeing Ru Hui suffer such a crime, he really felt distressed.
Ruhui nodded and said: "Well, after giving birth to this baby, there will be no more." Maybe it's because of her age, this pregnancy is obviously more tiring than the previous three.
When Mrs. Xiao came to visit her,
It hurts to see her like this: "I don't know who you look like? I'm pregnant with your sister, and it's not like this!"
Ruhui said with a smile, "Maybe she looks like the second aunt! I heard that when the second aunt was pregnant with the empress dowager, she would vomit as soon as she got up and vomit until she was four months old." The second aunt she was talking about was Yu Yu. Xi's mother.
This was the first time Xiao had heard of it.
After vomiting for more than two months, it finally stopped. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
By May, Ruhui's belly was already swollen.
Fourth Grandma Meng looked at her belly and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you have a sharp belly, so you must be a son." The old lady has been hoping that Ruhui will give her a great-grandson!
Gently touching her belly, Ruhui said with a smile: "Son and daughter are all good, I like your third brother." The husband and wife have already negotiated, and there will be no more after giving birth.
After chatting with Ruhui for a while, Fourth Grandma Meng took her daughter Xiaoya back.
Looking at Xiaoya's back, Ruhui shook her head and said, "I don't know what she thinks, my aunt doesn't let Xiaoya go to school to study, doesn't she know that she will send her?" Shi Yin and Yan'er arrived At the age of six, she went to a girls' school to study. Of the three people in the same age group, only Xiaoya didn't go to school.
Mrs. Meng thought that this girl would marry into someone else's family sooner or later and become a member of someone else's family, so there was no need to waste money on studying.
Maisui said: "Grandma, to go to school to study, the fee for one year's repair plus pen, ink, paper and inkstone is no less than one hundred taels. How can fourth grandma be willing to do it!"
Grandma Meng Si mainly felt that studying was useless. This girl's family is not scientific, and studying is a waste of money.
"I don't want to bear it now, but she will regret it in the future." Nowadays, when a wealthy family chooses a daughter-in-law, they first consider those who have studied. Xiaoya has never even entered the gate of the school, so she will definitely be disgusted in the future. I'm afraid it won't be easy to find a good family that suits you well.
Mai Sui laughed and said, "As long as my girl is fine." As for Meng Xiaoya, it has nothing to do with them.
After a few days, Maisui and Ruhui talked about a gossip. That is, Meng Guangwu sent his birth mother Geng back to Beijing.
Ruhui hurriedly asked: "What happened?" If it weren't for Meng Guangwu's filial piety, he would definitely not have sent him back to Beijing.
Mai Sui shook her head and said, "I also heard from people in the mansion, but I don't know the details."
If something happened to Meng Guangwu, Mrs. Chen and her four children would suffer accordingly. Ru Hui and Chen Shi got along like sisters, so they naturally cared.
Without even thinking about it, I immediately went to Sanfang.
Mrs. Chen was making clothes for her youngest son, when she saw Ruhui come over and put down her needlework, she smiled and called her third sister-in-law. The two often rushed to each other's doors, and Ruhui didn't think much about it when she came over.
After all the maids went out, Ruhui asked, "I heard that the fifth younger brother sent the Geng family back to Beijing, what happened?"
"Third sister-in-law, you also know?" Ruhui focused on raising the baby during this time, and didn't pay attention to the affairs of the house. Even she knew about it, so everyone in the Meng family knew about it.
If something happened to Meng Guangwu, all the children would be affected. Ruhui saw that Chen's expression was very calm, so it could be seen that Meng Guangwu was fine.
Mrs. Chen nodded and said: "A rich family wanted to send their only son to study in the county school, but they failed to pass the exam three times. They didn't know where to find out about that person, so they gave her a lot of money. You know, That person is the most greedy for money, how can he not accept the money delivered to the door! After receiving the money from others, she asked the fifth master to open a back door to let the children of this family go to the county school."
County schools generally require passing the exam to enter. Of course, there are no absolutes, and you can get in through relationships. But the key point is that this kid is a well-known dude in the county, he can't study well, but he is good at eating, drinking and having fun. If he were to be admitted to the county school and cause trouble, Meng Guangwu would never do well.
Ruhui asked: "For this reason, fifth brother sent Geng back?"
Mrs. Chen nodded and said: "It is estimated that what grandfather and third brother said to him made him feel scruples. The fifth master refunded the other party's money, and then sent the man back to Beijing." Chen is very satisfied.
Although the teaching official is not big, Meng Guangwu is less than thirty. As long as he doesn't make mistakes and does his job well, he will definitely be able to go further with his family relationship. Only when Meng Guangwu recovers will his four children recover. Not to mention anything else, it's easier to talk about kissing.
Ruhui said happily: "It seems that people are still being tempered outside! In just a few years, the fifth brother has been reborn." Filial piety is right, but you can't be filial. The previous Meng Guangwu was a bit foolish and filial. She thought that Meng Guangwu would be like this all his life, but she didn't expect that it would turn around and change.
There was also a relaxed smile on Chen's face: "I was also surprised to see his letter."
Hearing that Meng Guangwu also gave back one hundred taels of silver, Ruhui became more and more happy for Mrs. Chen. One hundred taels of silver is actually nothing, the key is the attitude. Meng Guangwu finally took on the responsibility of being a husband and father.
Ruhui said, "Then how did you settle her down?"
Chen said with a smile: "I settled her in Shuangshui Street, and bought him a rough envoy and a maid. My husband said, let me give her five taels of silver every month from now on."
Ruhui heard the words but said: "Sisters and sisters, when the third uncle left, each of the four families gave a thousand taels of silver. When the money was divided, everyone had a share. Now you have to support your mother, you can't just you two, you have to There are four brothers together. Moreover, in the future, the expenses of her illness and other expenses will have to be shared by the four of them.” The reason why the parents should be taken care of by the eldest son is because most of the property is acquired by the eldest son, so the parents should naturally take care of him. But the situation is different now. Firstly, Meng Guangwu has no family property, and secondly, the Gunn family has been divorced. Meng Guangwu took care of her because of the grace of her birth.
After hearing this, Mrs. Chen said annoyedly: "At first, I thought that as long as she didn't spoil Fifth Master's future, it would be fine to spend some money to support her. Now it seems that I was thinking about it. In two days, I will call Let Guangli and the others come and talk about it."
It's also because of the close relationship, otherwise Ruhui wouldn't meddle in her own business!
Two days later, Mrs. Chen and Meng Guangli and his wife talked about taking care of Mrs. Geng.
Meng Guangli and the others are also people who want face, and finally decided that each of the four brothers will give Geng a pension of two taels of silver per month. The medical expenses will be shared equally by each family.
Thinking of Geng's temperament, the pension money is sent at the beginning of every month. As for whether to send extra things, it depends on each person's wish.
Eight taels of silver a month, but Chen only gave two taels, Geng was very dissatisfied and went to Chen's shop to make trouble.
When Mrs. Chen heard the news, she directly said to the man who came to deliver the letter: "Report to the official." This kind of person will not shed tears when he sees the coffin. It's useless to scare a few words.
The shopkeeper in the shop got this and reported it to the official. When the people from the yamen came, they took Geng Shi away.
It was two days before Mrs. Chen told Meng Guangli about this: "You go to the Yamen to pick her up!" As long as someone guarantees her, she can be picked up.
Meng Guangli said angrily, "Fifth sister-in-law, how can you report to the government and let the government arrest your mother?" I have to say that the Geng family is not very good, but the sons are still filial.
Chen said with a sneer, "She is no longer Meng's wife, she is no longer my mother-in-law, why can't I report to the government?" If Geng is still her mother-in-law, it would be treason for her to do so. But Gunn has been divorced, legally speaking, they have nothing to do with each other.
Geng's caused her to lose a child, and she still remembers this hatred to this day. If it wasn't for Meng Guangwu and the four children, she would have wanted to kill Geng Shi.
Looking at the Chen family who had flashed hatred in his eyes, Meng Guangli couldn't help thinking about the past. As his sister-in-law, she started to be ruthless, but her relatives did not recognize her. Thinking of this, Meng Guangli didn't dare to blame her anymore.
