Happiness System
Chapter 789: Fake Gold 15Uncle Zhao looked at the regretful Sheng Baicheng and snorted, "Now that everything has been sorted out, we should do the last thing!"
Sheng Baicheng was stunned for a moment before he said unhappily: "Uncle, the subsequent division of property is our Sheng family's business, we just have to follow the clan rules, and besides, our Sheng family elders are watching!
My second brother has already obtained my mother's private property. Could it be that my uncle is still worried that my second brother will suffer a loss? "
Uncle Zhao sneered, "No wonder my sister specifically told us not to help your branch!"
Sheng Baicheng blushed, "When have I, Sheng Baicheng, ever taken advantage of your Zhao family!"
Bo Luo was full of youthful vigor and sneered when he heard this: "Cousin, are you trying to get away with it by talking so much? Before her death, my aunt clearly told you to divorce that vicious woman!"
Sheng Baicheng's eyes widened, he gasped and looked like he was about to hit someone. He clenched his fists and growled, "I've already removed Li and the children from their mother's tombstone. What else do you want?!"
The uncle of the Zhao family pointed at him with a trembling hand, "You are so stubborn and disregarded your mother's last wish. You are not worthy of being a son! With such low character, the Zhao family will no longer regard you as a relative!"
Sheng Baicheng disagreed, "Do you think my Sheng family cares about relatives like you!" You can't even get any help, so let's break off the relationship!
The Sheng family is in business, and the Zhao family is in literature. Over the years, Sheng Baicheng has approached his mother several times hoping that she could ask the Zhao family to introduce him to some connections. His mother repeatedly declined, and he then wrote to the Zhao family's uncles, but received no response.
Sheng Baicheng just thought that the Zhao family had fallen into poverty. The gifts he sent to the Zhao family became less and less over the years. Even though it only took half a day to go to the provincial capital, he had never gone there in person. Every year, either his younger brother went to send them off or he would arrange a small steward to go.
Sheng Yunyou curled the corner of his lip in mockery. People like Sheng Baicheng are simply hypocritical. He doesn't want to give anything but he also complains that others don't help enough!
Even she, an outsider, could see that the Sheng family had relied on the Zhao family for these years, but Sheng Baicheng thought that he was a business genius but just had bad luck...
It's ridiculous!
Seeing the uncles of the Zhao family leave, Bo Luojin also left with Bo Jingyao and Sheng Yunyou.
Mr. Sheng hurriedly told his wife a few words and chased after him.
Sheng Yunyou and the others have been living in the guest house these days. They had originally planned to leave the Sheng family today and had packed their things long ago.
They left the house directly, and the people around them would naturally go and get the luggage.
"Uncle, cousin, if you are not used to living in the mansion, why don't we stay in an inn first?" Master Sheng didn't dare to let the Zhao and Bo families leave just like that. He still wanted to continue to interact with these two relatives!
He himself had no talent for business and his academic aptitude was mediocre. At his age, he had only passed the imperial examination to become a scholar. He had taken the examination twice before and failed both times. He felt that he would probably stop there.
But his two sons were more talented than him, and he did not expect his sons to pass the imperial examination and become officials, but he also hoped to have a chance to get some guidance from his cousins from the Zhao family.
At least let his sons pass the imperial examination. Then they can become teachers in academies or donate some money to become clerks in the government. At least they can have a living, instead of being idle like him.
Presumably, Sheng Baicheng and the two uncles of the Zhao family still had a good impression of Sheng Boyong and did not blame him. In the past few days, they also saw that Sheng Boyong's wife Zhou was taking good care of Zhao. When Zhao was dying, she was willing to give part of her dowry to her daughter-in-law, which showed that Zhao was still a good person.
They had no intention of leaving Anping City today, so they let him follow them.
They originally wanted to stay in an inn, but Bo Jingyao took them directly to a small courtyard.
This yard was bought for Sheng Yunyou, and of course the money is also Sheng Yunyou's!
After the old lady passed away, Bo Jingyao learned that Sheng Yunyou was going to stay in Anping to observe mourning, so he asked Liu Binglun to buy a courtyard with two entrances, which was more than enough to accommodate them.
The courtyard was located in Lianhua Lane in the east of the city, two streets away from the Sheng family, not far away, so the group walked over.
Before she died, the old lady was already thinking about Sheng Boyong's resettlement. She knew the character of her eldest son and his wife, and knew that her kind-hearted son would not end up well, so she used her own money to buy a house for him. It happened to be in Zilianhua Lane, just two households away from Sheng Yunyou's house.
Sheng Boyong was surprised to see Bo Jingyao leading them into the alley of Lianhua Lane, and even had the illusion that everyone was staying at his house.
Sheng Yunyou's house was the third one on the left. When he saw Bo Jingyao stop knocking on the door, Sheng Boyong hurried forward and said to his uncles, "The house two doors ahead is the one our mother bought for us. It's a pity that the house is still under renovation, otherwise it would be more convenient for the uncles to live at my place."
"I'm determined!"
After all, Uncle Zhao is old, and he has been sad and tired these days. He is in poor health and has no patience to greet him.
Seeing that he was about to follow her into the house, she quickly stopped him and said, "You should go back first. Your child is still young, and we don't know what kind of trouble will happen at home. I'm afraid Zhou alone can't handle it."
Sheng Boyong was no longer in a hurry since he already knew the addresses of his uncles. He bowed his head and said goodbye, "Then my nephew can bring the children here to apologize another day."
The elders of the Sheng family were already waiting at home, ready to preside over the division of the family property for them, so he really couldn't leave for too long!
In fact, he already knew how much he could get from this division of the family. It would definitely not be much for him, and he was worried that those people would shamelessly try to take his mother's dowry!
Zhou was also a fierce person, otherwise she would have been bullied badly by Li.
Even so, Sheng Boyong was away for only half an hour, and when he returned he saw Zhou and the children crying together.
Like his twin brother, Sheng Boyong was taken away to be raised by his grandmother at a young age under the pretext that his mother was in poor health, but he was naturally close to his mother and his temperament was like that of the Zhao family.
Seeing this, his blood boiled and he did not forget to ask about the situation first. Then the honest man got the angrier he had ever been in his life.
Upon learning that the Zhao and Bo families had not yet left Anping, and seeing that Sheng Boyong's disturbance was known to everyone, Sheng Baicheng and the elders of the Sheng family had no choice but to give up and no longer dared to think about Zhao's dowry.
The old man of the Sheng family tried his best to save his dignity. He divided the property among them quickly according to the rules with a dignified look, and left in a hurry without even eating the meal.
After all, they still have to save their face even if they are in the wrong. They are not as ignorant as Sheng Baicheng. Knowing that the Zhao family's uncles are still in Anping, they dare not act rashly.
Sheng Boyong didn't care how much family property his elder brother had concealed and embezzled, and he just took his share according to their calculation. He didn't dare to live in the Sheng Mansion anymore, and didn't care whether the new house was repaired or not, and he moved there immediately with his wife and daughter.
He knew from a young age that his mother hated concubines and those born out of wedlock. Because Sheng Baicheng and his wife interfered, although he did not dare to get too close to his mother, he silently obeyed his mother's wishes and did not take a concubine or even a maid.
Sheng Baicheng, like his father, married several concubines, but he only treated them as playthings and allowed Li to torture them to miscarriage again and again. In the end, he and Li had only four children, two sons, one daughter, and a lucky illegitimate daughter.
Sheng Boyong also has four children, two sons and two daughters, and each of them is his treasure. Since they were young, he did not dare to let his children get too close to the children of his first wife, for fear that they would learn such bad habits.
Now that the family has split up and moved out, he feels relieved.
In the Sheng Mansion, unlike Sheng Boyong, the illegitimate sons were in chaos.
The Third Master was only half a year younger than Sheng Baicheng. His grandfather passed away early. Although his stepmother did not care about things, according to the laws of the Tianchu Kingdom, she had the right to kill them. In addition, his eldest sister-in-law, Li, was fierce and overbearing, so they backed down.
But now, without their stepmother who could suppress them, and Li being locked up in the government office, this division of the family was their last chance to make a fair profit, so they naturally would not let it go.
These illegitimate sons are not easy to deal with. Almost every one of them has something on Sheng Baicheng or Li.
Without Li, Sheng Baicheng was forced to retreat step by step.
In the end, all the properties that were hidden away benefited these illegitimate sons. Of course, the properties that were openly divided this time were still divided according to what was previously presided over by the elders.
These days, Sheng Baicheng missed the days when Li fought in battles. With his children urging him, he was eager to bring Li back.
So the next morning he sent people to inquire about the residence of Uncle Zhao. As long as they issued a letter of understanding and did not pursue Li, Li would be released!
Uncle Zhao really planned to go back to the provincial capital this time. As a result, they have been staying in Anping for more than half a month. They all have families, jobs, and everyone’s time is precious.
Knowing that Sheng Baicheng wanted to see them, Uncle Zhao thought that he came to confess his crime and had complicated feelings. They disliked and even hated this nephew, but he was their sister's only blood relative after all!
"Something worse than a beast!"
Upon learning that Sheng Baicheng came to them to ask for a letter of apology, Uncle Zhao slapped him in the face and ordered someone to kick him out.
"Forget it, forget it. After all, he has no connection with my Zhao family. He has such a low character, so he should be left to fend for himself!"
Naturally, he would not write a letter of understanding. In order to avoid Sheng Baicheng's obsession, Uncle Zhao packed his luggage and planned to leave early.
Sheng Yunlan and Bo Jingyao went out to discuss some things with Liu Binglun in the morning. When they learned that Sheng Baicheng had come to the house and was about to leave because of the anger of Uncle Zhao, they immediately rushed back to stop him.
"If people knew that we let our uncle go away hungry, how would we live as human beings in the future?"
"No matter how urgent it is, we can still afford this little time. We have already booked a private room at Hongbin Building. Uncles, please give Jingyao a chance to entertain you."
Sheng Boyong heaved a sigh of relief when he saw them rushing back. "Uncles, my nephew will be ready soon. I'd like to invite you to come over to protect the house!"
The two uncles shook their heads and sighed as they told the story, "That beast will never give up while we're here."
Sheng Boyong felt ashamed to have such a brother. "Based on my understanding of him, he will definitely not come again today, but he may send someone to keep an eye on the uncles in the afternoon."
He sighed and continued, "It would be better for the uncles to leave for a few days, so as not to be polluted by his shamelessness."
