Chapter 96 Taking advantage of the opportunity
After so many years of smooth sailing, he just felt that the past two years had been so bad that his family was restless!
After thinking wildly, Ma Rencai calmed down and discussed with Ma Xingteng: "Xingteng, dad knows that you and Yu Jie complained about me after your mother died, and dad also knows that I didn't do a good job! I'm not a good and competent father. What your stepmother did today is not only sorry for me and the Ma family, but also sorry for you, your sister, and your mother!
But as the saying goes, a family scandal should not be made public. It will not be good for you if this matter gets really big. If you have any conditions, Dad will comply with you, as long as you don't make the matter known to everyone. "
"Dad! What you are doing is so heartbreaking! Right is right and wrong is wrong! Everyone has to pay the price for what they have done! No one is an exception!" Ma Xingteng frowned, unwilling to give in at all.
Ma Rencai wiped away tears and choked up: "I remember that the Ma family had nothing back then. It was me who worked hard to save the family business bit by bit. I care about money and love money. Everyone said that I regard wealth as my life! Sang is like this You just don’t take the Ma family seriously! I hate you more than you do! But our Ma family is also a respectable family in Moshi Town, so we can’t let people make fun of us!”
Ma Xingteng lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Seeing this, Ma Yujie said calmly: "Dad said, no matter what we ask for, we can do it, right?"
"Yes! Yes, yes! As long as it doesn't make the matter a big deal, it's okay!" Ma Rencai looked eager.
Ma Yujie sneered and sat down, "Okay! Then give the housekeeping rights and the keys to the warehouse to my sister-in-law. From now on, all the housekeeping affairs of the Ma family will be subject to my sister-in-law. How about that?"
"No problem, no problem!" Ma Rencai nodded without thinking.
"Master!" Mrs. Sang panicked and was about to cry, so pitiful.
Ma Rencai didn't even look at her.
Ma Yuqing was indignant, "Dad! This is so unfair! The second brother hasn't gotten married yet, what if the sister-in-law misappropriates the money?"
Mrs. Bai smiled unhurriedly and said, "Sister-in-law, I was brought up by the Bai family after all. Our Bai family can't do anything to worry about the wealth of our daughter's husband's family. Besides, I still have a generous dowry, which is three melons and two dates." It can’t even catch my eye.”
After all, she was also a favored concubine of the Bai family in the county town. Ma Yuqing dared to compare her with a shallow-sighted person like Sang. Who was he insulting!
Bai's "There is a Needle in the Thread" mocked Sang and Ma Yujie to shame.
Ma Rencai frowned slightly, but soon felt relieved, "You are right, the rich heritage of the Bai Mansion is not comparable to that of people like us. I feel relieved to hand over the stewardship to her."
Bai stood up and gave Fu Li, "Don't worry, dad, my daughter-in-law will take good care of the house and report the details of the official expenses to you every month."
Ma Rencai nodded with satisfaction, "You are still considerate."
The matter of stewardship was thus settled.
Just as Ma Rencai was about to speak, Ma Yujie immediately interrupted, "Also! This one thousand five hundred taels cannot be forgotten easily. It must be remembered by the stepmother and younger brother. When the family is divided, my eldest brother will have to share one thousand five hundred taels." Liang, no, including the materials, supplements and ornaments, it’s more than 1,500 liang. Sister-in-law will check it carefully later. Those things that have gone missing must be traced one by one, and we can’t take advantage of others! "
The horse man Cai Qi smiled, took a deep breath, and said, "Okay! I agree."
"In addition, arrange a few more thugs for my eldest brother. Last time, my eldest brother was plotted by a traitor for no reason. This kind of thing must not happen again!" Ma Yujie climbed up the pole with peace of mind.
Ma Rencai had lost his temper because of her, and slumped on the chair, wilting, "Okay, okay! If you have any other requests, please ask." Ma Yujie took the opportunity to ask for some benefits for herself, and before leaving, she said: After giving Zhou and Ma Yuqing a severe warning, they withdrew in a rage.
Ma Xingteng knew that Ma Rencai had to deal with the Sang family next, so he took the Bai family and left first.
Back in the courtyard, Bai's personal maid Shiliu asked in confusion: "Madam, are you so relieved to leave? Why don't we stay and wait?"
Bai Shi smiled and said, "What are you doing here? Witnessing my father-in-law's misery? From now on, I will have to reconcile my accounts in front of my father-in-law every month, but I can't make him feel uncomfortable."
Don't worry! My father-in-law will definitely not spare my mother-in-law lightly. This time the Sang family will have to peel off their skin even if they don’t die! I originally thought that I would have to wait until my mother-in-law passed away or my father-in-law was gone before I could take charge of the family, but now it's really an unexpected surprise.
I remember that Su Yu, the eldest maid in my sister's courtyard, was nearby. Last year I heard that Su Chunsen and his son were celebrating the New Year and she made a special trip back. If they come again this year, I will write a letter and ask them to take it back. "
Shiliu nodded quickly, "Madam, do you want me to go and inquire now?"
Bai shook her head and said, "You can go guard the place where you enter the town later, or send someone to keep an eye on it and ask them to come and send a message. It's a troubled time at home, and I can't live without people around me."
Pomegranate responded obediently.
When Ma Yujie returned home, she found out that Shen Yi had brought Su Changfu over. She felt dizzy and held her forehead, "What did they say?"
The concierge Qiqi Ai Ai said, "Someone's eye was injured in Ximen Village. You must tell the Sang family. Madam, I think the matter will definitely not be suppressed. As long as the master is not implicated."
"Nonsense! I'm running around so anxiously just because of the master! What does the life and death of the Sang family have to do with me!" Ma Yujie couldn't help but vented before entering.
At this time, Shen Yi had already driven the donkey cart into the house.
Su Tai heard the commotion and came out to help, "Why have you been there for so long? Something will happen again!"
Shen Yi smiled bitterly, "My daughter-in-law is really awesome. You got her right, but it's not us, it's the other side of Ximen Village."
Then Shen Yi told all the immoral things that Sang Yong had done. Su Tai was so shocked that she covered her mouth with a look of joy on her face, "Fortunately, Su Yan didn't marry Sang Rong, otherwise she would have been dragged to death by the Sang family now."
Shen Yi nodded in agreement, "Uncle Su said the same thing. When I took him to town, he was worried and happy at the same time. His mood was very complicated."
Su Tai paused and said with a smile: "Anyway, it has nothing to do with us. As we celebrate the New Year, we don't want to worry about those bad things for the time being. I've boiled hot water. You can take a bath first and then rub it with soap to clean up this year's new year." Rub out all the bad luck."
Shen Yi immediately went back to the house to pick up the new clothes Su Tai had made for him, and went to the bathroom happily.
The bathroom has a newly built bathtub made of bricks and cement, with imitation marble tiles inside. The design below is similar to the kang in the north. If you burn the stove in the stove room, the water in the bathtub will also heat up, but it can only reach the fourth floor at most. Fifty degrees, no more is possible.
Fortunately, Su Tai can enter water space and time, and can take as much water as he wants. You can also buy a fully automatic large-capacity water heater from the medium tool vending machine, use the medium water pipe to inject water into the water heater, and wait for the water to boil before using the medium water pipe. It is transported to the bath to realize the free supply of hot water.
With this bathtub, you don’t have to worry about getting cold when taking a bath in winter, just like a hot spring.
