Shen Ruyi first gave Chen Zhanbei a contemptuous look, "You experience it yourself, I believe you have the answer in your heart. If you don't believe it, why don't you find someone to check it out privately? It's not shameful to admit that your mother doesn't love you, and it's not a big deal. Anyway, you have grown up, and she can't control you.
The real pitiful one is Nan Ge'er, who is still young and has to make a living in front of a grandmother who doesn't like him. How hard and pitiful he must be. You see, his biological mother is gone, and his only biological father doesn't believe him. His biological father, who is supposed to be the closest to him in the world, trusts his mother more. How hard it is for this child to live."
Now Chen Zhanbei's face changed again and again and he stopped talking.
Shen Ru thought that the other party just didn't mention the dowry, and he didn't have the patience to beat around the bush with him, so he said directly: "By the way, when are you going to return the dowry that Nan's mother left to Nan? Or do you really plan to leave it to your next wife? Major General, you are such a mess. You always rely on the dowry of the first woman. How can you support the woman after you?
If you can't afford to support her, don't marry her. Why bring her home? You don't have the money to support her anyway. Or should I give the emperor some advice and ask the court to increase the salaries of you military officers. The current situation is not acceptable. You are a major general, but you can't even support a woman. If other countries know about this, they will laugh at you. This will damage the national prestige of our country.
This salary is too little. You, a major general, can't even afford to support a wife, and those ordinary soldiers can't afford to marry a wife or raise children. Then these soldiers will have no descendants. This is not acceptable. We can't let the soldiers shed blood in the war and then shed tears. We must suggest to the government to improve everyone's treatment.
The soldiers had a hard life, and you, too, had a hard life. I shouldn't have said that to you before, and I shouldn't have been angry with you. I misunderstood you, and your life wasn't easy either. You didn't mean to use Nan Ge's mother's dowry to spend on other women. I apologize, I sincerely apologize, I'm sorry, I was wrong, please forgive me."
Shen Ruyi just opened her mouth and said, she didn't believe that she couldn't force it out.
"No, I'm sorry about the dowry. I didn't expect it to be like that. She liked Brother Nan very much at the time and was very nice to him. I was away from home all year round, so she was in charge of the household affairs and I was in charge of the outside affairs, so I just gave it to her."
"Really? But isn't the dowry an external matter? The shopkeepers of Nan Ge's mother's shop and the farm are always there. Could it be that they all died with Nan Ge's mother's death? Otherwise, how could you give something that belonged to Nan Ge to someone else?
Tsk tsk, you are such a good father, I have to admit you are better than me. So now why don't you return it to Brother Nan and put it under his name, and plan to leave it to your next wife? Are you planning to spend the dowry three times?"
Chen Zhanbei got angry when he heard this, and he slammed the table and yelled at Shen Ruyi: "I've been patient with you for a while, but you can't speak human language, and you keep beating around the bush. Aren't you annoying?"
"You are all useless, why should I speak to you in a human way? Do you understand what I am saying? I don't want to beat around the bush, it's because you are so good at pretending to be stupid and dead. If you want to hear me speak directly, then okay, I will tell you now, please give Brother Nan the dowry that his mother left for him, without missing a cent. Otherwise, I will not be polite. Remember, you have to take into account the profits you should have made over the years. Do you understand now?"
Shen Ruyi had been thinking about getting Chen Nan to build a good relationship with their family, but now it seems useless. Not only is it useless, it is also particularly irritating. Why should she compromise for something that has no benefit at all? It would be better to take control of the property. As for Chen Nan's future path, we will talk about it later.
"How old is he? What does he know? If I give it to him, will he be able to manage it or run the business?"
Shen Ruyi directly sarcastically said: "Your little wife is indeed better at managing things than Brother Nan, but she puts all the things into her pocket. Not only does she manage the dowry left by your late wife, she also manages the child that your late wife gave birth to with great difficulty. Look, she sells the child so easily. Look, her acting is so touching. Look, she is so virtuous and loves you so much that she wants to kill your legitimate son.
Besides, how come Nan Ge can't take care of things? Do you know what he can do? Do you know what he studies every day? Do you know what he likes? Do you know what he is good at? How many days have you spent with him? How many times have you hugged him? Do you know why Nan Ge has become like this? You don't know, you know nothing, and you don't care.
It is said that even a tiger will not eat its own cubs. You, a father who knows nothing, only cares about giving birth to a child but not raising him. You don't want to know the truth, but just because of a few words from your mother, you have convicted your own son, thinking that this child is not good, that this child is difficult to raise, and that this child is troublesome. Brother Nan is extremely unlucky to have a father like you who can't tell right from wrong.
Back to the original topic, why can't Brother Nan take care of the things left by his mother? Can't he be assigned a few reliable managers to check the accounts together? He is now in charge of his daily finances and interpersonal relationships, so why can't he do it? You don't do any research and jump to a conclusion. This is a taboo. I doubt your ability to fight.
Let's take a step back and say that even if he squandered all these things, it's okay. They belong to him, and he has the right to control and make decisions. Don't say so much nonsense and excuses. In my opinion, you just want to use the dowry of Nan Ge's mother to please your next wife, or you want to embezzle these dowries together, but you can't do it yourself, so let these women stand in front of you to block them for you. If something goes wrong, there are still women in front to take the blame. "
"You're talking nonsense. If you weren't a child and my son's savior, I would have beaten you up."
"Why, I hit the core issue, I touched your sore spot, you feel guilty, you are angry? Look at you, tsk, so boring, as a man, I look down on you, I despise you. You even covet a woman's dowry, it's really embarrassing for us men, you live such a cowardly life."
"Wait, I'll send it to you tomorrow at the latest." Chen Zhanbei's face turned red due to the pressure. He could fight, but he couldn't win in a verbal fight.
Therefore, he has always particularly disliked those civil officials who are roundabout and do nothing but have great powers of talking and can turn black into white.
The man in front of him was really good at cursing people in a roundabout way. Even if he was slow-witted, he knew that the other party was deliberately trying to provoke him.
