Chapter 914 Separation
When Xia Shiming saw that Mrs. Xia was making trouble all day long and often targeting him, even a nerd like him could see that this family could not tolerate him.
Xia Shiming decided to return to the capital. After some persuasion, Mr. Xia told him, "My father is gone. My mother has been in a bad mood recently and has a bad temper. As a son, you should be more considerate and understanding of her. If you want to go back to Beijing, you have to report it to your mother. No matter what, she is our mother.”
When Mrs. Xia learned that Xia Shiming's family was going back to the capital, she stared at him with a sneer and said, "If you want to go back to the capital, I won't stop you. However, your father has gone, and you and the boss have always been in the capital for three years." It's rare to come back. I'm getting older and I won't live for a few more years. It's not the same thing to stay in front of the third child all day. I don't have only one son, I have three sons. I don't have the old man. From now on, Just you three sons will support me.”
She looked at Xia Shiming and snorted coldly, "I really don't like your daughter-in-law, and she doesn't have the dignity to serve me. I think so, before you return to Beijing, you three brothers will take care of your family." If the division is divided, I will live with the boss, and all the family’s sacrificial fields and ancestral property must be given to the boss.”
When Mrs. Xia opened her mouth, both Xia Shiming and Mr. Xia were shocked.
Mr. Xia said, "Mother, how can this be done? My parents are here and we will not separate the family. This..."
"As long as I say yes." Old Mrs. Xia scolded, "Why, your father is gone and I am old. If you say a word, you don't have to listen and you can disobey me?"
"No, I don't dare." Mr. Xia quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake, but he was not happy in his heart.
In recent years, Mrs. Xia's temper has become worse and worse. She always curses people when she opens her mouth, no matter how unpleasant the curse is. She is even scarier than a shrew in the market.
If his mother lives with him from now on, will the family still be peaceful?
However, he is the eldest son of the family, and the family separated when his parents were still alive. He should be the one to support his parents, let alone push his mother to be taken care of by his two younger brothers. He just can't even think about it.
Mrs. Xia ordered her maid to call Mr. Xia San. She didn't call anyone else in, and she didn't let anyone in. The mother and son divided the house among themselves in the side hall.
Xia Shiming walked out of the side hall with a pale face. Mr. Xia came out later. He looked at Xia Shiming's sad back and hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.
When Mr. Xia San came out, he called out to Xia Shiming and said, "Second brother, why don't you continue to live in that house? Just give me the money you used to buy the house. You also know that I am in Jiangning City." I’m used to it, but I can’t live in the capital. The house I was assigned to is empty, so I might as well sell it to my second brother to live in, so that he can save on moving.”
The three brothers separated their families, and the sacrificial fields and ancestral property were divided among the eldest brother, who took care of his mother.
Mrs. Xia said that the properties that the family later purchased were all due to Mr. Xia San’s good work in housekeeping and hard-earned money. It's all Mr. Xia San who earns money to support him.
Now that the family is going to be separated, we can't go to Master Xia San and give all the properties that the Xia family later purchased to Master Xia San, which can be regarded as compensation for his hard work for the family over the years.
Besides, without Mr. Xia San's hard-earned money, those properties would not exist. It is only natural that the family should be divided up and given to him now.
And this property purchased later included the house purchased in the capital.
As for Xia Shiming, apart from the sacrificial fields and ancestral property, the Xia family only has some properties that Mr. Xia San later purchased. Since these properties have been allocated to Mr. Xia San, there are no other properties that can be allocated to Xia Shiming.
This is equivalent to letting Xia Shiming cleanse himself and leave the house. Xia Shiming was very disappointed, but he couldn't say a word to refute.
Since ancient times, when large families have divided their families, the sacrificial fields and ancestral property have always been distributed to the eldest son, and they have never been split apart, because the eldest son not only shoulders the responsibility of supporting his parents, but also shoulders the responsibility of passing this lineage down from generation to generation. .
Also, the most important thing is that when a large family is divided, the family's ancestral property and sacrificial fields cannot be separated. If they are separated, this rich industry will be gradually weakened after several generations. Similarly, the Xia family Their financial power will gradually become weaker, and they will slowly be squeezed out and replaced by others.
In order to keep the family prosperous from generation to generation, when a large family divides their families, the ancestral sacrificial fields and ancestral property are inherited by the eldest son.
As for other properties, logically speaking, they should be divided equally among the remaining sons, but Mrs. Xia said that in the nearly twenty years since he took office, Mr. , even his wife and son are raised by his family for him.
Not only did he not reduce the burden on the family, he also increased the burden on the family. Mrs. Xia told Xia Shiming that she was so angry that she couldn't even lift her head, and her face was full of embarrassment.
Mrs. Xia said that the rest of the Xia family's properties were purchased by Mr. Xia San later. These properties should all be distributed to Mr. Xia San.
Xia Shiming didn't refute a word and nodded repeatedly.
When he nodded, Mrs. Xia asked him to give up the Xia family's house in the capital after he returned to Beijing. After the separation, the house became Mr. Xia San's.
Only then did Xia Shiming's head buzz, and his mind went blank.
It was only then that he realized belatedly that the person in his second room had been purged out of the house by Mrs. Xia.
He walked out of the side hall with a pale face.
When Mr. Xia San stopped him and said he wanted to sell the house to him, he could only smile bitterly.
With a salary of only 200 taels of silver a year, he still had to support his two sons in school, a wife and a concubine, and his eldest son (the son Xu gave birth to to him) did not miss a month of silver. He said that his salary for a year was not enough to support his second wife and his family, and Guo and Yuniang had to supplement it every month.
With such conditions, how can he afford such a big house? Even now, the money he has saved for his private house is only more than a thousand taels, and that was secretly given to him by his beautiful lady when he came to Jiangning City. .
"Second brother, what do you mean? Just tell me. If you don't want to buy it, then sell it for me and ask someone to bring the money back to me. This is when I need money for business. " Mr. Xia San added at the end.
Although Xia Shiming is a nerd, he is not stupid either. He also heard the extraneous words of Mr. Xia San.
Is it because you were afraid that he would default on his house payment, so you said that on purpose?
It really chilled him that his brother could do this.
