Chapter 1292 Inheritance
After Xia Zihan found out, he thought that Xia Shiming's family needed a house to live in, so he spent the money to buy it, which would save Xia Shiming the trouble of moving.
Although Xia Shiming's name was written on the property deed when the property was transferred, the upright Xia Shiming always remembered that the house actually belonged to Xia Zihan, not him.
In the future, when his two younger sons grow up and get married, he will return this house to his daughter.
But he never expected that his unpromising eldest son would actually be concerned about the inheritance of this house.
Xia Shiming was so angry.
He pointed at Xia Zijiang and cursed, "You worthless thing, your mother bought a house for you, you are still too young, but our big family is just renting to live in your eldest sister's house, what do you have to dislike? If you are too young, then get out of here and make money on your own to buy a house. If you have the ability, don’t rely on your parents and start from scratch.”
Xia Zijiang touched his shoulder that was sore from being hit by the broom, and he was furious. He retorted, "Who doesn't know that the eldest sister has already given this house to us? If the eldest sister is so rich, how can she care about such a small amount of money? Dad, you Do you also want to leave this house to Brother Ye?”
"You three brothers, I won't give it to anyone. This house belongs to your eldest sister. From now on, I will leave it to your niece as a dowry." Xia Shiming said seriously.
As he said that, he looked at Xia Ziye and Xia Zihai who had come after hearing the news, and declared sternly, "It just so happens that you two brothers are here. Remember this. You must study hard and serve as officials in the court. , as for this house … Your eldest sister bought this with your money, and you have to pay it back to your eldest sister in the future. We, the Xia family, have the integrity to not greedy for things that don’t belong to us, even if it belongs to your eldest sister.”
"But don't worry, this time your brother-in-law gave me the New Year's money, and dad still has some left in his hand. Tomorrow, I will ask someone to find a house for each of you, and for my three sons, I will No one is biased. I will give you the same amount of property you buy in the future.”
Xia Shiming thought that he still had a lot of money left in his hand, which would be enough to buy two more houses for the second servant and a few small villages.
The rest is reserved for the two sons to get wives and the house purchase expenses for them when the family is divided.
When Mrs. Xia Er heard that Xia Shiming was going to leave this house to Xia Zihan's daughter as a dowry, she was stunned for a moment, and an uncomfortable feeling arose in her heart, but soon she figured it out again.
Back then, if Xia Zihan hadn't provided money to buy this house for them to live in, how could they have lived in peace and quiet for so many years.
Moreover, the Xia family's life is so smooth, isn't it all because of Xia Zihan's financial and physical help.
If it weren't for Xia Zihan's frequent payments of money, the Xia family's life would have been in trouble. Especially this time, the prince gave him 30,000 taels of silver at once, even though he kept saying it was New Year's money. , but only Xia Shiming, Yumugada, would believe it.
Anyone with a little bit of brains knows that this hand is just an excuse for the prince.
Xia Shiming wanted to buy a hilltop as an ancestral cemetery, but he didn't have much money. The prince wanted to help, but if he gave it directly, Xia Shiming would definitely refuse, so the prince used an excuse to make Xia Shiming refuse to accept it.
Xia Shiming didn't see this. Mrs. Xia Er guessed it on the first day she received the gift list. However, she didn't wake up Xia Shiming because the Xia family was indeed short of money, and Chu Jingqi's excuse was just right. .
Xia Zihan had been married to the Chu family for six years, and it was true that she had never given her father-in-law Xia Shiming a penny.
It was just and reasonable for Chu Jingqi to make up for the gift. Mrs. Xia Er felt comfortable again when she thought about it.
With such a considerate and considerate daughter and son-in-law, what else could she ask for?
People should know how to be satisfied, otherwise, one day they will be killed by the greed in their hearts
Xia Zijiang felt better when he saw that his father had spoken. From now on, his two younger brothers would be treated similarly to him.
Then I thought again, I have to split it up and live alone. I have a shop and money in my hand, and no one is looking after me. Wouldn't it be more free?
From now on, you can do whatever you want and buy whatever you want. No one will ever punish you to kneel down after buying a fighting cock. How great is this?
When he thought of his free days in the future, the last bit of haze in Xia Zijiang's heart disappeared.
He was also thick-skinned. He shamelessly apologized to Mrs. Xia Er and confessed to Xia Shiming without Xia Shiming's instructions.
Xia Shiming was relieved to see that he was no longer making trouble.
After everyone had dispersed, Xia Shiming went to the front yard, and sure enough, he called a steward and asked him to help buy two houses nearby for the second-in-command.
"It's best if the two buildings are next to each other." Xia Shiming added, thinking that his two younger sons had a good relationship and got along well with each other.
The steward agreed and left.
After a while, Mrs. Xia Er walked in personally carrying a bowl of pork ribs and lotus seed soup.
After seeing Xia Shiming drink, Mrs. Xia Er sat down and left without clearing the bowl. Instead, she asked, "I want to sell two houses. Do you have enough money? Not enough. I still have some here."
"That's enough."
He still has more than 20,000 taels of silver in his hand.
The 30,000 taels of silver given by the son-in-law, plus the thousands of taels of silver he had saved before, only cost 12,000 taels of silver to buy Shantou, leaving more than 20,000 taels of silver, enough to buy some properties for his sons. .
Xia Shiming decided to buy two small houses first. After buying the houses, he would look at the remaining money to buy other properties for his sons.
He still had to leave four thousand taels of silver. Each of his three sons had one thousand taels of silver to pay for their home. He also had to keep one thousand taels of silver in his own hand as a spare. He couldn't use all the money and let his daughter give it to him. .
The Xia family always needs its three sons to support themselves, so they can't let their daughter support them for the rest of their lives.
Mrs. Xia Er cautiously suggested, "Master, if we want to buy property, we might as well ask the princess to help. There are people under the princess, and the houses and shops they buy are cheaper. It's more cost-effective than buying it ourselves." ”
Xia Shiming subconsciously wanted to shake his head, not wanting to trouble his daughter, but... then he thought about it, if his daughter found out about the family's property purchase in the future and didn't tell her, would she feel that his father didn't trust her?
"Master, the princess said that if you have something to do at home, you should go to her for help. I heard that the princess has a Zhuangtou who travels around and knows many people. He knows where there is a Zhuangzi shop to sell. Compared to us, Buy it yourself and get twice the result with half the effort.”
