Chapter 756 Separation
Chapter 756 Separation
Tomorrow is Laba Festival.
After Laba Festival, it is the New Year. In Kyoto city, every household starts preparing New Year’s goods.
The Ji Mansion was no exception. Uncle Ming had already ordered all the managers in the mansion to start purchasing.
This year's shopping was much easier than in previous years. The old man was gone, and the second and third rooms were empty shells living in a huddled state, with no one around on weekdays. When there were fewer people in a courtyard, the corresponding items had to be reduced, so naturally there would be less stuff to use.
Jiang Hao is not a stingy person, but she is never generous to her enemies.
On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Uncle Ming was called to her study.
Generally speaking, unless there is something important, Jiang Hao would not call Uncle Ming to Ji Yan’s former study to discuss the matter.
Since he was called to Ji Yan's study to discuss something, it was most likely about the Ji family.
Uncle Ming guessed correctly.
What Jiang Hao told him was indeed about the Ji family.
"Separate?"
Uncle Ming was stunned when he heard this and blurted out.
The second branch was left with only orphans and a widow, and the third branch was even worse off than the second. The people in the two branches had to live in fear after experiencing such great changes. Why did the county lady suddenly bring up this now?
He thought Jiang Hao had forgotten about these people long ago.
"Break up."
Jiang Hao ignored the doubt in Uncle Ming's eyes and continued, "I am an orphan and a widow, and I will not do such evil things as forcing people to die. I called you here so that you can share according to the way other people divide the family according to the law of dividing the family according to the eldest and the young."
After a pause, she continued, "Of course, provided that there is still one in the Ji Mansion."
Everything is done according to the rules.
As for what he would get in the end or whether he would starve to death in the winter, Jiang Hao didn't care.
Each family received one thousand and two taels of silver from Ji Yan. During these days, everything they ate, used and wore was paid for by the public treasury. The silver was enough for them to live an ordinary life for many years.
If you don't save and can't survive, you deserve it!
Uncle Ming understood.
"Yes, I will do everything according to the county lady's wishes."
Jiang Hao immediately shook his head and corrected him: "Uncle Ming, we should follow the rules left by our ancestors."
Uncle Ming choked, replied "yes", and walked out.
If it were in the past, Ji Zixuan would definitely be too soft-hearted, especially for the third wife, who only had a ten-year-old child left. No matter what, he couldn't bear to let the child live alone in a separate house.
But now, after experiencing so many things and seeing so many people's hearts, he actually thinks Jiang Hao is too kind.
Given what the second and third rooms have done, they should have been kicked out long ago. How could they allow Uncle Ming to divide the family property and give them things?
"younger sister……"
"You always have to save face."
Jiang Hao reached out and patted his shoulder, looking at him with calm eyes: "People outside the Ji Mansion don't know what they did, but they will see what you did. Now that my grandfather is dead, and my father and his generation are gone, it is natural to split up the family. Therefore, the family division is a normal process, and no one can say anything."
"Well, I listen to my sister."
It’s not okay to always listen to me!
Young man, if you keep going like this, when will you grow up?
"I see that you have recovered well. After drinking Laba porridge, you can go to Uncle Ming and learn from him about the division of the family."
"What about you?"
"I have more important things to do."
Jiang Hao doesn't have the time to waste on such trivial matters.
She pushed the bowl of porridge to Ji Zixuan: "I made it myself and added some things..."
Ji Zixuan had already picked up the bowl and started drinking.
Outside the door, Yueying had already picked up the lunch box.
"Let's go to the Millennium Building."
