Chapter 877 Soft egg
Master Tan asked about Pei Yue and Tian Shao's marriage, and wanted to know when they would get married.
Tan Xingguo is also preparing to tell him about this: "The youngest is going to wait for Tian Shao to go back to his hometown to ask for a wedding date together after graduation. I have already agreed with him to let Churong go with him. This is also a respect for Tian Shao."
Old Master Tan nodded on the table, and said: "All the money in his hand has been used to buy a house, and Tian Shao's money cannot be used for marriage. I prepared this for him."
He paid for the marriage expenses of the eldest brother, the second child and the fourth child, and it is no exception for the third child. When the fifth child is also married, his responsibilities will be exhausted.
Tan Xingguo was silent for a while and said: "Dad, I mentioned this to the third child, but the third child said that he doesn't want your money. He also said that if you insist on giving it, he will donate it in the name of mother?"
Old Master Tan said with a straight face: "If you don't want my money, would it be an honor to use Tian Shao's money? You have to let outsiders know about it, and you can't call him a coward who eats his wife?"
Tan Xingguo didn't answer this question.
Old man Tan waved his hand and said, "Give him the money, saying that I gave a sum of money to the three of you when they got married. As for whether the money is used for your own marriage or donated, it's up to him, I don't care."
"I did the math, the third child is estimated to cost about 3,000 yuan to get married."
Master Tan hummed and said, "This is exactly three thousand."
After talking about this matter, Mr. Tan talked with him about work.
Tan Xingguo has long been a big boss, and he doesn't need to be taught about work. The old man mainly analyzes the current situation with him.
After talking for more than an hour, Tan Xingguo saw that his face was exhausted: "Dad, go and have a rest!"
Grandpa Tan said with emotion: "When a person is old, he is useless."
I think that when we fought in the war before, we were full of energy without sleep for three days and three nights. Unlike now, I feel tired when I talk about something. But he is not afraid of death, he can go to see his former comrades-in-arms after death.
Bai Churong was folding clothes in the room, saw him holding a file bag and asked with a smile: "What did Dad give you?"
"money."
Bai Churong was very surprised: "Dad gave you money?"
Since the two got married, the old man never gave them any money. But when they took the money back, the old man never took it, saying that he had no use for the money. This is true, the rice noodles and other things sent from below can't be eaten by two people, and the medical expenses are also fully reported, and all his allowances are used and saved.
Tan Xingguo knew she had misunderstood by looking at her, and explained: "It's not for me, it's for the third child's marriage. This file bag is quite thick to the touch, and it looks a lot."
Bai Churong poured out the money in the file bag and counted it, and found that it was three thousand yuan. Holding the money, she hesitated for a while before asking: "Xingguo, Dad was in good health ten years ago, how can Aunt Qu fool him? The more I think about it, the more I feel wrong."
Even if there are difficulties, the damage that has already been done cannot be repaired in just one or two sentences, or even in this lifetime. He also saw too clearly, so he didn't ask.
Bai Churong nodded and asked when to go to Yongning County.
Pei Yue and Tian Shao didn't set a time, and Tan Xingguo didn't even know: "The third child will let us know in advance if he wants to go back. I have made an appointment with the third child. The whole family will go to visit mom on Sunday, and you will prepare the things."
A few years ago, it was said that feudal superstition should be broken, and even incense could not be lit when going to the grave. However, in the past two years, this old custom has returned, and now people will bring paper money and joss sticks when they go to the grave to pay homage. Tan Xingguo is a very traditional person, and he thinks that worshiping ancestors should follow the custom.
Bai Churong understood, and nodded in agreement.
The next afternoon, Pei Yue went to Tian Shao and told her about his plan to change back to Tan's surname: "I asked someone about it yesterday, and the man's name was Mu Liang, who took his parents' surname. He married four My wife gave birth to twelve children in total, and eight of them survived. The oldest is a grandfather at the age of forty-three, and the youngest, Mu Kang, is sixteen years old. Mu Liang might think that I want to fight for property!"
Tian Shao is not superstitious, but when he heard about this man, he couldn't help saying: "Marrying four wives, is this a restrained wife?"
Pei Yue shook his head and said: "The first wife lost control of the carriage on the way back to her hometown; the second wife died of dystocia; the third wife died in a riot when she went out; the fourth wife was twenty-six younger than him He is now living with him. The second one died of dystocia and left no children, the original wife left a son and a daughter, and the third daughter-in-law left two sons and a daughter."
"Such a big family must be very lively."
Pei confirmed her guess, shaking his head and said: "I lived poorly a few years ago, so it was normal to have occasional noises. But when Mu Kang adopted two houses under his uncle's name, their family sang along every day during this time." It's like a big show."
Before Tan Xinghua mentioned two houses, he thought it was two larger houses like the family building. As a result, after inquiring, I found out that the two houses are actually two houses. Among them, the one with two entrances is larger than the one in Sanyanjing Hutong, and the other one is smaller, but it also has a small courtyard.
Tian Shao was not surprised, and said: "Money touches people's hearts. Now that everyone's housing is so tight, Mu Kang alone has two such big houses, and others will definitely not be reconciled."
Pei Yue hummed and said: "Mu Liang has decided to sell the big one, and distribute the money to the other seven small ones. The small one will be given to Mu Kang, and Mu Kang will also be allowed to retire in the future."
This seems to be fair, but it has hidden dangers, because the property belongs to Mu Kang, and Mu Liang is not qualified to distribute it like this. But this is the Mu family's business and has nothing to do with them.
Tian Shao heard that they were going to sell the house, and immediately said: "Where is the house, let's buy it!"
Pei Yue told Tian Shao that the house was at the Sanwen Temple, but he did not agree to buy this house. He was worried that after buying the house, he would let Mu Liang and the others know that if it became worth more in the future, he would come to him.
Tian Shao asked: "Do you think your grandfather will really donate all his property, leaving only two houses? If it were me, I would definitely leave a sum of money for my children and grandchildren, so that I can make a comeback in the future."
Pei Yue understood what she meant. He shook his head and said, "There is a custom in the Mu family that sons will be divided when they get married. Those two houses were bought by my grandfather for my second and third uncles, not old houses. Even if you want to hide treasures , and will only hide in the old house."
"What about the old house?"
Pei Yue shook his head and said: "The old house was donated by my mother after my uncle disappeared. The house has been demolished to pieces now. If there were real treasures, people would not have waited until now."
After a pause, he continued: "My grandfather passed away due to illness. If there was any treasure left behind, he would definitely tell my mother before he died. If he didn't say anything, it means that there is no treasure left behind."
Tian Shao just said it casually, and gave up after listening to his analysis.
