Chapter 1478 A family is selfish
It had been gloomy all day and became darker in the evening.
The Wu brothers were worried about the construction site for a while, and then went to a restaurant in the city for a drink. They discussed and discussed, but they still couldn't do anything. It was dark, so they had to go back to their old house dejectedly.
When he arrived at the door, Wu Yuanshuang looked up at the large door and sighed, feeling too late to regret it.
Wu Yuanqing asked curiously: "Looking at the front door of my house and sighing, why is this?"
Wu Yuanshuang rolled his eyes at this elder brother angrily, and sighed: "What do you mean by the gate of your own house? It is almost no longer our home..."
After saying this, Wu Yuanqing remembered that the old house left by his father had been mortgaged and borrowed by the two of them from the Prince of Hejian...
When he thought of this, Wu Yuanqing felt a throbbing pain in his heart.
Three hundred thousand dollars!
Why don't you feel anything? It's all spent?
Now that the money has been spent, the project has collapsed, and the family is about to be taken away...
The two brothers walked into the door in a daze, and when they arrived at the atrium, they met Wu Weiliang, who had something to do and had not been to the construction site today.
"My younger brother was about to go find his two elder brothers. I heard from my family that something went wrong on the construction site. I wonder what the situation is?"
Wu Yuanshuang walked into the main hall without saying a word.
Wu Yuanqing looked dejected, sighed, patted Wu Weiliang's shoulder, shook his head, and entered the main hall.
Wu Weiliang looked confused... What's wrong?
……
In the main hall, Wu Yuanshuang weakly said to Wu Weiliang, who was following closely: "Something big happened at home, endangering life and death. Go quickly and call all the young and old at home. Let's brainstorm together and discuss it together."
Wu Weiliang didn't know what was going on at the construction site, and was baffled. He hurried out to gather his family...
Not long after, the men, women, and children of the Wu family gathered together.
Wu Hua, the father of the warrior Xun, had four sons. The eldest son, the warrior Leng, was also related to the great ancestor Li Yuan. When the great ancestor raised the army, he followed him and became the official of Sinong Shaoqing. The third son, Samurai Yi, once served as the Hucao of the Prince of Qi in the early years of Wude. He was quite insightful and had military exploits in the battle to annihilate Liu Wuzhou. Emperor Gaozu was very pleased with him and he became the governor of Shaozhou. He died in office in the early years of Zhenguan.
Both of them had high official positions, and they had already established separate houses and lived separately.
The only remaining family members living in the old house are the son of Wu Hua, Samurai Rang, and the youngest son, Samurai Yu. All the glory and wealth of the Wu family came from Samurai Yu, so the two sons of Samurai Yu are the only ones left in the family. For the sake of respect, I dare not offend...
Seeing the family gathered together, Wu Yuanqing became increasingly depressed and depressed, and said nothing with a grimace.
Wu Yuanshuang had no choice but to briefly explain the matter...
"What? Three hundred thousand guan?"
A woman in her thirties exclaimed.
This woman was wearing a splendid colorful dress, and her appearance was quite iconic, but her cheekbones were slightly high and her lips were thin, making her look like a mean person.
She exclaimed in surprise at first, and then stood up with her eyebrows akimbo, and shouted angrily: "Okay, you two brothers are really capable! Three hundred thousand yuan, just to lose it? Are you lying!"< br>
Well, this person is not worried about the serious consequences of violating the law by cutting corners and shoddy goods, but is looking at the money of 300,000 yuan...
Wu Yuanshuang was irritated and said angrily: "This is a matter for men, why do you, a woman, need to talk so much?"
This woman was Shanshi, the wife of Wu Huailiang, the eldest son of the samurai. She had become a widow when Wu Huailiang was young, but she had a shrewd, mean and sinister personality. Although she was hated by people and ghosts in the house, no one wanted to mess with her.
When Shanshi heard Wu Yuanshuang's words, he immediately exploded!
His voice became more and more shrill: "You men are capable, so why do you come home to show off your authority? Now that the disaster is coming, I am afraid that I will go home and discuss it with everyone, and if the court investigates it, let the whole family bear the crime together." Right? This home is For all of us, as long as the family is not divided, everyone will have a share. You two brothers secretly mortgaged the old house. Who did you ask? Now that the house is in danger, you don’t even let me say anything. Are you still reasonable?”
Her family members, who had previously been confused about the situation, became nervous due to her acting out.
Wu Weiliang was most worried and asked: "Brother, will this...the court really pursue this? What did His Highness King Wu say?"
He was involved in the whole process, and most of the things that involved cutting corners and shoddy goods were passed through his hands. If the court seriously pursues the case, he will not be able to escape.
Wu Yuanshuang said angrily: "Don't listen to that woman's nonsense. Do you think our brother-in-law's face is just for show? Even if he didn't open his mouth to His Highness King Wu about this matter, it's impossible for His Highness King Wu to arrest our brothers." Go. Besides, everyone is paying for these projects in advance, and the court has not paid a penny for settlement. The worst thing is that they will be rebuilt, which will not violate the king's law."
After saying this, Wu Weiliang breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't arrest anyone.
He was relieved, but Shanshi was furious again...
"What? Tear them down and rebuild them? Didn't you say you have no money? How can you rebuild those houses if you don't have money? Wow, how could I think your brothers are so open-minded and would discuss countermeasures with their families when something goes wrong? It turns out that they are fighting Do you want us to use the money to rebuild the house? Haha, it’s really treacherous. As long as I don’t die, you can’t even think about it.”
Looking at Shanshi, who raised his chin with an expression that said, "I've seen through your trick, I won't succeed." Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang looked at each other, and they both looked at each other.
This woman is causing trouble all day long and refuses to stop even for a moment. She is really disgusting...
But after all, she was a widowed sister-in-law by title, and she was also a generous person. The two brothers were very afraid of her, so why did Mo Nai!
Wu Yuanshuang could only say: "What are you talking about, sister-in-law? My brothers went all over the place to ask for help and then got the Kunming Pool project. Is it just to make money for themselves? It's not for the sake of this family! The current situation of the family You also know that if there is no way to open up the source, everything will be in vain! Besides, this project is not just a construction site by the Kunming Pool, it is the Dongdong project. The construction of the two cities in the west is linked! As long as we obtain the construction qualifications in the two cities, sister-in-law, think about it, but this one item is enough to make our Wu family become the top family again! Your Highness has given us the opportunity, is it possible to just let all the money be lost on the construction site, and not even take the qualifications for construction in the east and west cities?”
Wu Weiliang said quickly: "That won't work. If that's the case, wouldn't you become a fool and suffer the ridicule of the entire Chang'an clan?"
Shanshi snorted coldly and said: "Don't even think of joining forces to deceive a woman like me. Anyway, it's just a sentence, do you want money?"
No one believes her words. If she can still believe others when they say they have no money, will Shanshi have no money?
This person has always been the most stingy. The maids and slaves in her room have not seen a reward for many years. Instead, they have used various excuses to deduct monthly money. If they were not all slaves, I am afraid that the maids and slaves in her room would have run away. Most of it...
But everyone knows that she is a tough guy, so how can they dare to pluck out a hair on her body?
Wu Yuanqing looked at Wu Weiliang and said: "Weiliang, you and I are brothers. Although we are not brothers and sisters, we are better than brothers... Now that the family is experiencing difficulties, can you express your attitude?"
Wu Weiliang was an honest man. After hearing the words, he hesitated for a long time, and he could only say reluctantly: "So-and-so is not married yet... Besides, so-and-so doesn't have much money, but since my brother has spoken, then so-and-so... just... Take out fifty coins.”
He is a little more honest, but he is not stupid. How many of the hundreds of thousands of dollars were spent carelessly by these two brothers? If we really invested everything in the construction site, why would we end up in the current situation by buying low-quality building materials at low prices?
He didn't want to spend money to drink wine with his two brothers.
"..."
Wu Yuanqing looked at Wu Weiliang expectantly, but he didn't expect that he had held it in for a long time and came out with fifty guan...
That's a business worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. What's enough for fifty dollars? !
This is great stuff!
You’ve learned how to hide your secrets...
Wu Yuanshuang was very frustrated when he saw that everyone in the family had their own plans. He simply smashed the jar, spread his hands and said, "It's up to you. Since you don't want to take out the money, then wait until the money arrives." If we don’t have the money yet, let someone take over the house. Then our whole family will go back to the village in the countryside, build a few adobe houses, grow vegetables and raise ducks in our free time, which will be elegant..."
Wu Yuanqing reminded: "Even those pieces of good land have been mortgaged... There are only a few acres of thin farmland left."
The family finally felt that the crisis was imminent and panicked.
Is the Wu family, which used to be the residence of the Duke of Guo, now reduced to the miserable situation of "no room, no land"?
Maybe, the whole family will have to sleep on the street...(End of Chapter)
