Chapter 390 No money and not short of money 10

Mrs. He Wu obviously didn't realize that less competition would lead to lower costs. She just looked at the stingy and poor appearance of everyone in this house and felt speechless. She said to her confidant, "No wonder the old lady wants to marry my youngest son to someone like me." She is the daughter of a merchant. Otherwise, everyone in the house, including the prince and his wife, has no money, and is very poor. Soon, the whole family will have to drink the northwest wind. It seems that having more children is not a good thing. .”

The confidant grandma agreed: "There are many children. If everyone can do something, that is a good thing. The family will become more and more prosperous. But if it is like the He family, one or two children have no future. They can only spend money, not make money." , it’s really not a good thing to have too many children.”

"The He family doesn't think so themselves. Look at the old lady. Seeing so many children and grandchildren, she still thinks that it is a good thing that her family is prosperous and luxuriant. People outside will not say anything bad about the He family in front of her. , they all praise the He family's Ding Xingwang and express their envy. She doesn't know the truth. Every time others praise her, she laughs from ear to ear, but she doesn't know that the people outside are laughing to death about the He family."

Yes, there aren't many people outside who really envy the He family. It's probably just a few members of the He family who are withering away. Seeing that there are so many children in the He family, most of them are envious because they see the He family's jokes. Some vicious ones even call the He family pigs. Otherwise, how could there be so many children?

After listening to Mrs. He Wu's words, the nanny looked around and found that the maids were all far away. Then she whispered to Mrs. He Wu and said: "Madam, let's talk about this in private, but don't let it happen." People know, so that the old lady won’t be unhappy.”

Mrs. He Wu said: "I know, do you still need to say this?"

The nanny added: "We must also be careful that the people in this house will kill you as a fat sheep, especially the old lady. The old slave is very worried that she will find various excuses to ask you for money if she knows that you are rich. If you don't give it then, you will have a reputation of being rebellious."

In fact, since entering the mansion, the old lady has asked Mrs. He Wu for a lot of money, both overtly and covertly. This is why her confidant, Grandma, is so worried at this time.

The He family is poor. Now that his wife has tens of thousands of taels of dowry in her hand, it would be strange not to be jealous and wish she could swallow it.

Mrs. He Wu smiled and said: "Don't worry, my mother told me about this before entering the house. I have already been mentally prepared and know how to deal with it. Since our family wants to improve its status, we still have to take this risk." Yes, but there is no need to worry too much. The old man and the old lady are very old. Unless they live a long life, otherwise I will only have to endure it for a few years. When the time comes, we will divide the family. Each family will take care of their own family. There is no need to worry about who will You stole my money."

The confidant nanny nodded and said: "That's true."

An Ran didn't know that others were saying that she was a coward, but even if she knew, she wouldn't mind. Anyway, it wouldn't hurt if she said a few words. On the contrary, if she was a coward, she would do what she did since she was a child. , the money will be lost, and it will be inconvenient to do anything without the money; in a big way, she will have to lose if she cannot complete her task, so what do others say about her?

An Ran doesn't mind, and her children don't mind even more. They had enough of the miserable life before, and now they can live a life of money and leisure.

If they have not experienced that kind of oppressive days, they will not feel this way. If they had a good life before, they may not be able to bear it now when they hear the harsh words against their mother, but they have experienced those kind of hard days before. , even if they heard about it, they wouldn’t care about it. Even when they heard about it, they didn’t tell An Ran. They were afraid that An Ran wouldn’t be able to bear it after hearing it, and would scatter the money again, and then they would live a miserable life again, so It is completely different from the humiliating reaction of a child from a family who has always lived a good life when hearing such embarrassing words. This can be regarded as an unexpected contribution of the original person. Otherwise, the children of the poor have already become the masters, because the children of the poor know Firewood and rice are expensive, so children from wealthy families will not start thinking about face issues as soon as they have food and drink.

Liu Lu also heard from people outside that the fifth wife laughed at the whole He family, saying that even her own wife, the eldest son, had no money and was so poor that she was so poor - even though her confidant Nanny told Mrs. He not to say such things outside. But sometimes Mrs. He Wu couldn't control it, and even if she didn't say it, she would reveal this meaning, so most people knew that Mrs. He Wu disliked the whole He family - they couldn't help but have mixed feelings.

Because no one outside except her knows that my wife has five or six thousand taels of silver on hand, and as she buys a field and makes a profit at the end of the year, this income will increase.

This income is naturally not much for those wealthy families, but among the poor masters of the He family, he is the second richest person except Mrs. He Wu, so it is not what Mrs. Wu ridiculed at all. Everyone in the family has no money, it's just that my wife knows how to hide the wealth, but others don't.

He clearly held a large amount of money in his hand, but others didn't know it, and he still laughed at the other person for having no money. This made Liu Lu couldn't help but have a funny feeling, and secretly thought to herself, is this called secretly having fun?

An Ran has more and more money, but the money distributed to everyone in Earl Zhongyong's mansion is getting less and less. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, not only did the girls have no jewelry, but even wives like An Ran didn't have any jewelry. I just made a set of clothes.

The reason is very simple. Since the new year, several houses in the house have added several new concubines, and the second, third and fourth houses have added a new child each. Mrs. He Wu is also pregnant with a child. It is expected that the He family There will be more children, so the government's expenses will naturally increase.

Expenses have increased, but the income is still the same, so the money distributed to everyone will naturally be less.

It is estimated that the money will be even less sufficient next year, because the number of people will continue to increase next year, and in addition, He Liuye will have to get married, which is another huge expense.

However, An Ran felt that no matter how poor the welfare of the middle school was, it would still be better than it would be if the family were separated - let alone the other houses. They were not engaged in production and were just looking for old people, so it would naturally be beneficial to separate the families, but it would be beneficial to the big family. As for the house, An Ran felt that it was beneficial. She didn't know about the other houses, but from the memory of the original person, it was better not to separate the house.

The reason is very simple. The original husband, Prince Zhongyong, was a big-hearted man, and he turned it into a big man. There was nothing bad about him as a person. It is estimated that many people would like to associate with such rough people when walking outside. , after all, who doesn’t like heartless people.

But it would be terrible for such a person to become the head of a family, because he would not live a calculated life and would often spend all his money in a few moments.
