Chapter 1157 Persuasion
Within three days, Chu Lin got the job done.
I bought a small village of 120 acres in Qing'an Town. Because it was in the town, the price was not expensive. One acre of land cost only six taels of silver, and the total was only 720 taels of silver.
When this small village was transferred, it was directly recorded in Xia Zijiang's name.
The small house was set up in Beicheng, far away from the Xia family but close to the Lu family. Chu Lin specially found a house close to the Lu family. In this way, Xia Zijiang will be separated from the future, and Miss Lu will be close to her natal family. If anything happens, her natal family will also Can take care of her.
What's more, houses in Beicheng are cheap. The house that the second son entered cost only two thousand taels of silver. It was cheap and the house was not big. It was enough to accommodate Xia Zijiang, his wife and a few servants, and even a few more children.
When the house was bought, it was directly recorded in Xia Zijiang's name.
Xia Zihan took the house deed and took a look at it, then put it away and sent it to Xia's house along with the remaining banknotes.
Xia Zihan personally put the deed of the house in the hands of Mrs. Xia Er and said, "The land on the small village is rented to the nearby villagers. You only need to send someone to collect the rent after the autumn harvest every year. As for the house, it is still It’s empty. You can send someone to check out the areas that need to be repaired. Send someone to the Chu family. The Chu family has a few house repairers. Just let them go and get it done.”
Mrs. Xia Er opened the land deed and read it carefully. She was stunned for a moment when she saw that the address of the property deed was in Beicheng. Then she remembered that the Lu family was in Beicheng. Miss Lu had moved there, so she lived closer to the Lu family.
She smiled and said, "Mrs. Lu loves Miss Lu very much. She would be very happy to know that Miss Lu will live close to her after getting married."
"Well, this is the house Chu Lin specially found near the Lu family." It is convenient for the Lu family to support Miss Lu in the future.
Of course, Xia Zihan did not say this last sentence. Mrs. Xia Er only thought that Xia Zihan was worried that Miss Lu would miss her mother's family after she got married, so she deliberately found a house close to Lu's family.
As a married girl, who doesn’t want to live closer to her parents’ home?
Mrs. Xia Er collected the land deed and said to Xia Zihan, "Princess, thank you very much for this matter. Without you, I would not have been able to find such a suitable village and house with the few people around me." .”
After finishing this matter, half of the stone in her heart fell away. The remaining half was that she had not yet confessed to Xia Shiming about the three shops and eight thousand taels of silver.
The reason why Xia Zihan came to the door in person today was also for this matter, "Mom, is dad at home?"
Mrs. Xia Er's heart skipped a beat, "Yes, in the study."
"Then I'll go find dad. Don't worry, mom, dad won't blame you. I'll take care of everything." Xia Zihan said.
Last time, when Mrs. Xia Er was hesitant about how to confess this matter to Xia Shiming, Xia Zihan said to let her speak for herself.
She gave back several shops so that her parents' family would not be in poverty, but not to drive a wedge between her father and Mrs. Xia Er.
If Mrs. Xia Er mentioned this matter, Xia Shiming would definitely blame her and shouldn't take over those three shops. After all, there is no reason to take back the dowry given to his daughter.
But if she mentioned it, Xia Shiming would not blame Mrs. Xia Er, nor would he blame her.
Xia Shiming loved her daughter and would not be willing to blame her.
Xia Zihan went directly to the study and mentioned the matter to Xia Shiming. Of course, she had her own explanation.
She understands Xia Shiming and knows what to say so that Xia Shiming won't be angry. "The daughter also wants to be filial and filial to her father. There are many Zhuangzi shops under her name, too many to count, but her father was kicked out of the Xia family by her grandmother and left penniless. My daughter feels sorry for her father and also feels sorry for her. I feel sorry for my mother, and I am also worried about my two younger brothers’ studies and cannot delay them.”
"My mother's dowry is not much, and she has almost used it in the past few years. If I, the daughter, don't help me, do I have to watch my mother's family drink from the northwest wind? In that case, how can I bear it, and how can I sleep at night? ”
"You are my biological father, Brother Ye and the others are my biological brothers. You are all my direct relatives. If I don't help you in your most difficult time, am I still worthy of being your daughter?"
< br>
"Dad, just let me fulfill my filial piety, even if I have to sleep well at night and take over these three shops."
Xia Shiming's upright head was originally thinking about how he could get back the dowry given to his daughter.
Isn't this a slap in the face?
However, after hearing Xia Zihan's words, Xia Shiming suddenly felt ashamed.
He only thought about his feelings as a father towards his daughter and his face as a father, but he ignored that his daughter would also miss him as a father and her mother's family.
Her mother's family was kicked out, penniless, and had no place to live. How could her daughter just ignore it?
If he really doesn't accept these three shops, how will Yu Niang behave when she goes outside?
People would only say that she was cold and heartless, not caring about the life or death of her family.
"Dad, actually, I don't do much to help you. The annual rent of three shops will be enough for two brothers to buy pens and ink for a year. The rest of the money to support the family has to be earned by yourself."
This is also the reason why Xia Zihan doesn't help her mother's family much.
No matter what, the backbone of a family must be a man. She couldn't provide for all the food, drinks and clothing for her parents' family. Instead, her father would end up with the reputation of being a spoiler of his daughter.
It was also later that she encouraged Xia Shiming to go out and find a job as a husband, so that he could earn money to support his family and maintain his self-esteem and status as the head of the family.
Any man with strong self-esteem will not let his married daughter help him support his family. His wife and his son should be his responsibility and should be raised by him. This is the responsibility of a man and also Self-esteem as a man.
Xia Zihan will not take this responsibility away from Xia Shiming, and she will also protect her father's self-esteem.
Xia Shiming sighed deeply and said with red eyes, "Yu Niang, it's dad who wants to help me. I understand what you mean. Don't worry, dad will accept it." His daughter is sensible. She has been sensible since she was a child. , with this daughter and two obedient sons, his life was not in vain.
"Yeah, Dad."
Xia Zihan smiled as brightly as a flower.
Xia Zihan took out five more banknotes worth one thousand taels, totaling five thousand taels, and handed them to Xia Shiming and said, "Dad, Brother Ye and the others are going to take the exam next year. You can buy some more good books for me." They see that this money is used by me, the eldest sister, to buy books for them. If you take it, when they become successful, I, the eldest sister, will also benefit from it.”
Xia Zihan was named a princess by the emperor, and her status was already distinguished. How much glory could she get even if her natal brother continued to prosper?
The reason why she said this was simply because she was worried that Xia Shiming's stubborn temper would break out and he would not want her money.
