Poor Family Laity

  Chapter 117, the first confrontation between the real and the fake sons

   On the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, the officials began to have a holiday, but the Bing Ma Si, who was in charge of public security in the capital, was the busiest at this time. Shi Zhengmao and the others all took a rest, and Shi Zhenghe was still patrolling the streets.

   As a newcomer to Bingmasi, Shi Zhenghe was assigned to be on duty during the Chinese New Year, and he would not be able to rest until the second day of the Chinese New Year.

   Regarding this, although Shi Zhenghe regretted not being able to accompany his family, he accepted it calmly, but the rest of the Shi family had a lot of opinions.

   "The job of the fourth brother is tiring and hard, and he is not high-ranking. He is still unwilling to let him quit. Now that the whole family is together, and he is not here, won't this make father and mother upset?"

   Mrs. Shi bowed her head to help Shi Zhengmao put on her clothes, but did not speak.

  Shi Zhengmao: "Forget it, leave him alone. During the Chinese New Year, Zhengkun's family will definitely come over for dinner. It's better to avoid it. If something unpleasant happens during the Chinese New Year, it will be bad."

   As he spoke, he glanced at the sky outside the window: "Zhengkun's family is coming soon, let's go to mother's side."

  After moving out of the Bo’s Mansion, Shi Zhengkun was busy with errands, and was also a little embarrassed to see Shi Zhenghe, so he didn’t have much time to come to the Bo’s Mansion.

   Now that it's the annual holiday, knowing that Shi Zhenghe is not at home, he brings his wife and children to the uncle's house for dinner every day.

As the saying goes, the fragrance is far away and the smell is close, Shi Zhengkun's family moved out of the uncle's house and they rarely meet each other. In addition, after Shi Zheng and his family came back, many things happened, which more or less affected the house, which made the rest of the Shi family He became closer to Shi Zhengkun's family than before.

  In Yixiang Hall, Shi Fuxin was sitting on the brocade next to Jin Yue'e, looking at the people in the room who were intimately mingled together, even though she didn't have any affection for Shi's family in her heart, she still felt tired and glaring.

   Who is it for? !

  Seeing the forced smile on her mother's face, Shi Fuxin tilted her head and fell directly into her arms: "Mother, I'm dizzy, please accompany me back home."

   This movement was not small, and it directly led to a brief silence in the room.

  Jin Yuee supported Shi Fuxin, who was 'weak and powerless', and looked at Mrs. Shi apologetically: "Mother, Miss Xin is feeling a little uncomfortable, I'll take her back to the room to rest first."

  Shi's old lady showed worry: "Do you want to invite the doctor to come and take a look?"

  Jin Yuee shook her head: "No need, just rest and rest."

  The old lady nodded her head: "Then take sister Xin to rest."

  With the consent of the old lady, Jin Yuee and Shi Fuyin helped Shi Fuxin to leave.

  Looking at the back of the mother and daughter leaving, Zeng Yuwei lowered her eyes to cover up the smile in her eyes.

  So what if they moved out of the uncle's house, as soon as they come back, that family will have to retreat.

  As soon as she got out of Yixiang Hall, Shi Fuxin came back to life: "The room is full of smog, it almost suffocated me just now."

  Jin Yue'e turned her head and glanced at the woman standing outside the gate of Yixiangtang, then gave Shi Fuxin a helpless look, and forced her to lean against her body: "You are dizzy right now."

  Shi Fuxin's mouth twitched, and she looked at Jin Yue'e anxiously: "Mom, I don't feel dizzy anymore."

  Jin Yue'e: "No, you're fainting, sister Yin, come over and help your sister, so that she doesn't fall down."

  Shi Fuyin secretly smiled, and with Jin Yuee on the left and right, forcibly supported Shi Fuxin back to Yiguiyuan.

  Shi Fuxin fainted until New Year's Eve.

  If Jin Yue'e hadn't forcibly dragged her out of the Yigui Courtyard, she would have been dizzy forever.

   "Your father is still working. When you go to pay New Year's greetings to the old man and the old lady later, you should kowtow for your father a few more times."

   "Also, don't worry about the attitudes of other people in the mansion, let's just take care of ourselves."

  Jin Yuee kept instructing the four Shi Fuxin brothers and sisters all the way.

   Soon, Yixiangtang arrived.

  According to the rules of the Bo Mansion, ancestor worship will be held on New Year’s Eve. When the five mothers and children arrive, other people in the Bo Mansion, including Shi Zhengkun’s family, will arrive.

   "Let's go, everyone is here."

  Led by Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Shi, the family went to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors.

  After the ancestor worship was over, they returned to Yixiang Hall, and everyone began to kowtow to Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Shi to pay New Year's greetings.

  The two old people smiled and handed out the New Year's money they had prepared to everyone.

  During the period, Jin Yuee saw that her and Shi Zhenghe's red envelopes were larger and thicker than others', and looked at Mrs. Shi in surprise.

  The old lady smiled and said: "Your elder brother and they all have them, and this one is for you and Zhenghe."

  Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look over.

   Shi Zhengmao and Shi Zhengye looked at the red envelope and guessed that it might be a farm and a shop, but their expressions didn't change much.

  Shi Zhengde and his wife glanced at their lips slightly.

  When the son of the Shi family gets married, he will be allocated some property, part of which is from his business, and part of it is added by Mrs. Shi with a dowry.

  Of course, the old lady’s dowry is reserved for her own son. As for the concubine, it’s enough to add two decent things to keep people from talking about it.

  When Shi Zhengde got married, he only got a few decorations.

  Shi Fuxin was a little curious, and when she returned to Yigui Courtyard, she urged Jin Yuee to open it.

  Inside the red envelope are the land deeds of two farms and the deeds of six shops.

   "This shot is too generous."

  Two farms, one with 500 mu and the other with 200 mu, set up a bamboo mountain and a peach mountain, located in the suburbs of Beijing; all six shops are in the inner city.

   Shi Fuxin had inquired specifically about the prices in the capital city. A store of 100 square meters in the inner city would cost at least several thousand taels of silver.

  Six shops, that is two to thirty thousand taels of silver, and there is no market for the price.

  As for the farm, it is not easy for them to buy some contiguous fields in Rongcheng, let alone in the capital.

  Jin Yuee was a little tongue-tied, feeling that the land deeds and house deeds in her hands were a bit hot: "This is too much."

  Shi Fuxin said: "Since grandma gave it to everyone in front of everyone, I think these uncles, fourth uncles, and seventh uncles all have them, mother, you can just keep them at ease."

   As he spoke, he paused for a moment, and called Zhang's mother in.

   "Mother Zhang, when Uncle and the others got married, did the mansion give them property?"

  Mother Zhang nodded with a smile: "According to the rules of the uncle's house, after the male heirs get married, they will be allocated a farm and two shops."

  Hearing this, Jin Yuee was stunned: "Why do we have so many more?"

  Shi Fuxin thought for a while and said, "Didn't grandma tell you that there is still your mother in here. When the uncle and the others got married, they must have given the bride price to the uncle and the others."

  Jin Yue'e: "... I don't need so much dowry."

  Shi Fuxin disapproved: "Mother, you are the best. It was my father who cultivated the blessings of several lifetimes before marrying home. What is this dowry gift?"

  Jin Yue'e was told to smile, and glanced at her little daughter.

  Shi Fuxin continued: "It is estimated that there is also compensation for father. Whether it is the uncle, the seventh uncle, or that one, their current errands are all facilitated by the uncle's relationship."

   "It is the fifth uncle who also takes care of the general affairs of the uncle's mansion."

   "Only our father, who didn't enjoy anything."

  Listening to these words, the thought of being ashamed in Jin Yue'e's heart suddenly disappeared.

   These are what the husband deserves.

   After a moment of silence, Jin Yuee looked at the four children: "The mansion gave us these properties, which shows that we still value your father. In the future, we should get along well with other people in the mansion."

   This time, Shi Fuxin didn't say anything to refute.

  30,000 to 40,000 taels of silver fell down, and the weight is still very heavy.

   Soon, at night, Shi Zheng and Ye Xiaya came back, and had a reunion dinner with Shi's family.

Both Shi Fuxin and Shi Dinghao belong to the kind of people who can make others happy when they are happy. The family got a fortune, and both of them were very happy. When they were at the dinner table, the atmosphere was quickly enlivened by the two .

  Funny jokes and witty words kept coming out of the mouths of the two of them, even Shi Fulin, who was dissatisfied with Shi Fuxin, was amused to laugh out loud.

   In the dining room, the children's laughter sounded from time to time.

  My lord was also affected by this joyful atmosphere, and the embarrassment caused by Shi Zhenghe and Shi Zhengkun sitting at the same table was relieved a lot.

  If the atmosphere continues to be this happy, this year's New Year's Eve will be considered complete.

  However, accidents always come suddenly.

  After everyone had eaten, when they left the table and were about to go back to the hall, Shi Zhengkun, who hadn't said a word to Shi Zhenghe, walked up to Shi Zhenghe's side suddenly.

  Shi Zhenghe was a little surprised that Shi Zhengkun would take the initiative to talk to him, and he didn't want to make any trouble when it was Chinese New Year's Eve, but he responded in a neither far nor near, lukewarm.

   Seeing the two walking side by side, everyone was a little surprised, but Shi's family members hoped that the two could coexist peacefully. Seeing that Shi Zhengkun took the initiative to ease the relationship, they all looked relieved.

  After a few polite words, Shi Zhengkun suddenly asked the Li family: "When you were at the border before, was the Chinese New Year so lively?"

   Shi Zhenghe paused, looked at Shi Zhengkun indifferently: "What do you want to say?"

  Shi Zhengkun: "Don't get me wrong, I just want to know if they are doing well?"

  Shi Zhenghe looked at Shi Zhengkun coldly, walked away without saying a word.

   "Don't be angry, if you don't want to tell, I don't have to ask, everyone is watching us." Shi Zhengkun reached out and pulled Shi Zhenghe's arm.

  Shi Zhenghe didn't want to tug at him, raised his hand and flung it back slightly, trying to break free from Shi Zhengkun's hand.

   Who knows, with a flick of his arm, Shi Zhengkun slipped and fell to the ground.

   "Master!"

   "Fourth brother, what are you doing?"

  Shi Zhengkun's sudden fall to the ground surprised everyone.

   Zeng Yuwei and Shi Fuzhi ran towards Shi Zhengkun anxiously.

  Shi Zhengmao walked towards Shi Zhenghe with anger in his eyes: "Fourth brother, how can you do anything to Zheng Kun when you celebrate the New Year?"

  Shi Zhenghe didn't answer, just looked at Shi Zhengkun who was being helped up by Zeng Yuwei and others: "I didn't expect you to be so weak."

   Said, with a sarcastic smile.

   "She has taken great pains for you. With your body, if you become a military household, it is estimated that once you go to the battlefield, you will have to wait for death."

   After finishing speaking, he left without looking back.

  Seeing the contempt in Shi Zhenghe's eyes, Shi Zhengkun's hands hanging by his side suddenly clenched into fists.

  What right does he have to look down on himself!

  He is a dignified scholar of the Hanlin Academy, and he is just a low-level patrol officer!

  Being inferior to him in knowledge and status, what right does he have to look down on himself?

   Zeng Yuwei was also trembling with anger, and looked at Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Shi with red eyes: "Father, mother, look at him, it's Chinese New Year, and he still doesn't give up after losing his husband. He even cursed him to die."

   "Wouldn't it be nice to have An Sheng, why do you have to find it so hard!"

   Without waiting for Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Shi to say anything, Shi Fuxin walked up to Shi Zhengkun's family with a sneer, and her eyes fell on Shi Zhengkun.

   "It wasn't your fault for the wrong hug back then. Our two families can do well, but why do you insist on jumping out to find trouble?"

   "If you are so filial, go back to the northwest frontier. Once you go back, you will know how your biological parents are doing well? Why do you want to disgust my father?"

"My father was sent to the guard by the Li family when he was thirteen years old. He served your biological father for more than 20 years in military service. That's not counting. Your biological mother has been treating and oppressing my father all the time. How dare you run away?" Come and ask him, how are your real parents doing?"

   "Let me tell you, before my father knew his life experience, they lived very well, but their good life was bought with my father's blood and sweat."

   As he spoke, he sneered and looked at Shi Zhengkun's family.

   "Today is the first New Year's Eve when our family returns to the uncle's house. You pop out to ask about the Li family at this time. What are you worried about?"

   "My dad just waved his arms and you can't stand? You're really weak and can't take care of yourself!"

   "Pretending to be weak and pitiful is what women do. Men still need to have a backbone, or they will be looked down upon."

  Listening to these words, everyone in the Shi family had different expressions.

   And Shi Zhengkun turned pale with anger after being scolded so much in public.

  Of course Zeng Yuwei wouldn't do anything while watching her husband being insulted, just when she was about to reprimand Shi Fuxin, Shi Fuxin pointed the contradiction at Shi Zhengmao.

   "Uncle, my father respects you as an elder brother, and is courteous in everything, but you can't bully him, you can't just see who is weak and think that whoever is justified, and condemn my father indiscriminately as soon as you come up."

   "Which eye of yours saw him attack your dear brother? Didn't your dear brother take the initiative to join my father?"

   "Based on your ability to pull off the director, it's no wonder."

   "cough cough cough~"

   "cough cough cough~"

  Jin Yuee coughed violently, interrupting Shi Fuxin's words.

   "Sister Xin, mother is choking, come quickly and help mother back to rest with me." Shi Fuyin shouted anxiously to Shi Fuxin while supporting Jin Yuee.

  Shi Fuxin was a little speechless, brother and Jiulang were beside him, why didn't they ask them to help?

  But seeing her mother coughing so hard that her face turned red, Shi Fuxin glanced at her in a daze. Shi Zhengmao, who seemed to have not recovered, reluctantly went back to Jin Yuee's side.

  Jin Yuee continued to cough, and looked at Mrs. Shi apologetically.

  Shi the old lady hurriedly said: "Go back and rest."

  Jin Yuee hurriedly coughed and left while tightly grabbing Shi Fuxin's wrist.

  After the five mother and son left, Mrs. Shi looked at Shi Zhengkun: "Did you fall somewhere?"

  Shi Zhengkun quickly explained: "Mom, it was my fault just now. It was because I didn't stand firm and my feet slipped. It has nothing to do with Zhenghe."

  When the old lady nodded, she looked at Zeng Yuwei: "Zheng Kun probably fell hard, so I don't have to stay in the mansion to watch the New Year tonight, go back quickly, and give Zheng Kun some medicine."

  Hearing this, Shi Zhengkun's face was shocked.

  Mother thinks he fell on purpose just now? To make everyone unhappy on purpose?

   No, he just thought of his own parents at the border because he saw the happy scene of his father, mother and children and grandchildren, so he wanted to inquire about them.

  He really just wanted to know their situation, and he never expected that Shi Zhenghe's reaction would be so big!

  Even if the Li family didn't treat him very well, they were the ones who raised him. How could he be so indifferent?

   Without waiting for Shi Zhengkun to explain anything, Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Shi turned around and entered the room directly.

  Seeing this, it is hard for others to say much.

  When Shi Zhengkun's family left, Shi Zhengmao and others entered the hall to watch the new year.

  Compared to the joy and excitement at the dinner table before, the hall at this time was a bit too quiet.

   "Sister Xin, that girl. Mother, you have to teach her the rules, she even dares to criticize me." Shi Zhengmao was the first to break the silence.

   Until now, he still has not come to his senses, he is an uncle, and that little girl dared to scold him in public, she is too courageous.

  Shi the old lady glanced at the eldest son: "Did she say something wrong?"

  Shi Zhengmao: "."
