Chapter 3770 Undeserved injustice 35

Master Liu couldn't help but feel funny after hearing this. He thought that these little bastards had really good ideas. A family was given five thousand taels. If the family had so much money, would they still need to sell their servants? Didn’t they realize that the family had so little money that they had to sell people off?

No, they couldn't possibly not know, they were just trying to act stupid, they just wanted the money.

As for what Mrs. Liu could do if she couldn't get it, they didn't care. They only wanted five thousand taels of silver.

Mr. Liu has been an official for many years and is a good person. How could he not recognize the concubine and his wife? Xiao Jiujiu couldn't help but sneer slightly, thinking that these sons of his own have no ability to deal with others, but they are quite good at being a quarrel.

So he directly exposed their illusions and said: "The family has no money, so we can only ask the third child to take out the extra money, and the matter is over. You still pray that the third child is willing to take the five thousand taels Come out, otherwise, food will be a problem for our family."

After Mr. Liu said this, everyone looked at each other and had no choice. After all, if they really ran out of money, what else could they do? They would not be able to change it by stalking.

Although they also knew that the situation at home seemed not to be very good recently, they did not expect that it had reached this point. They originally thought that even if one family could not get five thousand taels, it would be better to receive one thousand taels per family.

Who knew they couldn't even get one thousand taels? How could they be satisfied?

But if the third child doesn't take out the money, they will definitely cause trouble. Anyway, it's like this now, and there's no fear of offending the legitimate son. Anyway, if they don't offend, they won't get anything.

After Mr. Liu made an agreement with Liu Erlang and others, he sent someone to find Liu Sanlang.

Mrs. Liu told him before that the family had no money, and he was indeed worried about his future livelihood. But since Mrs. Liu was biased and secretly left a lot of money with the third child, there was no need to worry about the family's livelihood.

So after hearing about Mrs. Liu's partiality, Mr. Liu not only was not angry, but was thankful for such a promising development. After all, if Mrs. Liu had not been partial and took away all the dowries from his daughter-in-law, then they would be in trouble now. It’s time to drink the northwest wind.

Now it's all right. If we can fish out the five thousand taels from the third child and the two thousand taels from the boss's place, there will be a total of seven thousand taels and put them into the public house for use. The public house can last for a long time.

As for what will happen after all the money is used up, he doesn't care. Anyway, he is so old. It is estimated that when the money is used up, he will be gone. By then, who will care about him after his death? The flood is raging, as long as you have money to spend during your lifetime.

In fact, Liu Sanlang and his wife had naturally heard about the rumors in the house. When they heard that their father was looking for them, they felt that something was wrong, but they still came honestly.

But before leaving, Liu Sanlang and his wife had already decided not to hand over the money.

No, when Liu Sanlang met Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu mentioned that Mrs. Liu was partial to him and asked him to hand over the extra five thousand taels, at least hand over the three thousand taels less than his elder brother. Liu Sanlang Immediately, he pretended to be stupid and said, "How can my father listen to people's nonsense? How can I have so much money?"

In fact, it really didn't happen, because Mrs. Liu wanted them to pay less than 5,000 taels, and his wife's dowry was quite large, so the life of the people in the house was stumbling, but the couple lived quite well. He came out and continued to live a good life almost as before in his own small courtyard.

Since they are still living the same good life as before, the few thousand taels of silver that Mrs. Liu left to them naturally cannot help but spend it, and it is almost spent.

The reason why they did not convert the money into fields and collect rent was because they were afraid that the behavior of collecting rent would be discovered by people in other houses, so they did not use the money to make money, but sat there and ate nothing every day.

They also know that it is not good to sit back and have nothing, but it is better than being discovered by others and then being asked to hand over the money, right?

When Mr. Liu heard Liu Sanlang's denial, his face darkened and he said: "It's useless for you to deny this matter. At least hand over three thousand taels, otherwise this matter will not be dealt with at home."

At this time Liu Sanlang no longer denied it, but said: "I don't have three thousand taels, it has been spent long ago."

After hearing this, Mr. Liu couldn't help but swayed and said: "What?!"

He originally thought that Liu Sanlang had money that could solve the family's current predicament, but it was all spent by their young couple? !

The family already provided food, clothing, housing and transportation, so how could they spend all their five thousand taels in just a few years? Isn't this a prodigal? It's all my fault that my doting wife is used to doing things like this.

And if he spends all the money, what will happen to his family's current predicament?

Liu Sanlang still didn't know the seriousness of the matter, so he said disapprovingly: "Didn't the elder brother also receive two thousand taels less? Let the elder brother give it."

Mr. Liu sneered and said: "You don't give it to anyone who is underpaid by five thousand taels. How is it possible for you to give it to your elder brother who is underpaid by two thousand taels?"

He originally wanted to ask Liu Sanlang to hand over three thousand taels first. When the time came, Liu Sanlang handed over three thousand taels, and Liu Dalang should be willing to do whatever he wanted.

Unexpectedly, Liu Sanlang was quite a bachelor and said that he had spent all his money, which immediately blocked Mr. Liu's next plan.

Liu Sanlang listened to Mr. Liu's words and said innocently: "What's the matter? My father said to the outside world that I took out the five thousand taels, and then asked the eldest brother to also take out the two thousand taels that were less."

Master Liu couldn't help but look livid after hearing this, thinking that the third child was a prodigal and had a bad heart. However, this was also thanks to his wife. After all, this was how his wife fooled others back then. Now the third child is like this. Follow my example and let yourself fool the boss like this.

But he definitely couldn't agree, because by then, outsiders would not know and thought he had 7,000 taels. This was a large amount of money for the Liu family at the moment, enough to make everyone live a good life. If he manages everyone's life very well, he will definitely be praised by his family, and then he will have trouble to complain about.

In the eyes of outsiders, Lao San is not bad. He really paid five thousand taels so that others would not say that Lao San is not good.

The reputation of being the third child is high, and the trouble falls on him. How is this possible? Can Mr. Liu take the blame?

Moreover, after what happened last time, I am afraid that the old university has become smarter and will definitely let him hand over five thousand taels to open his eyes. Otherwise, he will definitely not give two thousand taels. It is impossible for him to talk about the third child. Five thousand taels is enough.

Of course, this is not possible, because where can he find five thousand taels to show to the boss.

When the matter is exposed, won't he make his eldest son angry with him?

And he doesn't want to be like Mrs. Liu and break her promise to her sons and make them hate him. After all, he will have to rely on his sons to support him in the future. There is no benefit in offending his sons, so he will definitely not agree with Liu Sanlang's proposal.
