Chapter 156 Completely follow his instructions
Everyone in the Lu family looked at Lu Shao in disbelief.
At this moment, I can't help but wonder, how could Lao Wu be so rich?
Could it be that Goro made a mistake?
Lu Shao sighed again, "I also hope this is not true. This also means that my father did not hide it from the whole family and bought so many private properties."
"But after I found out, I asked someone to help check it out, and it was indeed true."
"But these shops and farms are not under his name."
"And it was placed in the names of several slaves he bought, and he held the indentures of those slaves in his hands."
"He and those people signed several contracts to prove that these properties belong to him. If he wants to take them back in the future, those people will transfer the ownership back to him."
"Not only did I see the contract with my own eyes, I also took a copy of it back with me."
He got this from one of his father's servants.
"You can take a look."
After he finished speaking, he opened a book he had brought with him during dinner, and took out the contract document that was inside.
He handed it to Boss Lu, "Uncle, take a look first."
Mrs. Lu and other female relatives are illiterate, but Mr. Lu and his brothers can read, although not very well, but they can still understand this contract.
Boss Lu took the paper and looked at it. There were a few words he didn't recognize, but he could understand the general meaning.
Especially the name signed at the end was that of his fifth brother.
After reading it, his expression changed, looking ugly and angry.
Then pass the paper to the other brothers.
After reading it, several people had the same expression.
Lu Lao Si's face turned pale, "Lao Wu is really great. He actually has so much private property, and he has let us eat coarse food and support his family for all these years."
Although Lu Laosan knew in advance that Lu Shao would tell him something important about Laowu.
But I really didn't expect it to be like this. "Old Five is really heartless. He can do such a thing."
Lu Lao Er frowned, "What does he mean by this? Is he on guard against us?"
"He has so much private property, but not only did he not tell us, he also asked us to continue to support him to study. What does he think of us?"
Qiao Ye interjected. "Of course I think you are the biggest enemy."
"If I tell you, not only will I be afraid that you will take advantage of me, but I will also cut off the supply to their five houses in the county."
"The most important thing is that I'm afraid you'll find it and ask him to take it out and use it together."
"After all, the family hasn't been divided yet, and he doesn't want to turn his private property into public property."
So the scumbag eunuch always pretended to be penniless and needed his brothers in the village to save money to support him.
Another point is that when you get used to other people’s efforts, you will take it for granted and become more reluctant to give back.
The scumbag father-in-law is originally a Phoenix man, with some distorted so-called self-esteem and face-saving.
Therefore, I would be very stingy towards my relatives and feel sorry for spending even a tael of silver.
He has become accustomed to the kindness and dedication of his family members because he feels that no matter what he does, he will be forgiven.
He is very generous and unconcerned with others, and all kinds of praise and flattery from others can greatly satisfy his vanity.
There are actually people like this in real life.
Not only is he stingy towards his family and relatives, he also likes to take advantage of them in everything.
But after going out, he is very generous and helpful to outsiders, and likes to be flattered and praised.
The scumbag eunuch is obviously this kind of person.
Qiao Ye's words completely shattered the last bit of filter that the Lu brothers had left for their younger brother.
Everyone's expression changed again, with anger mixed with betrayal, sadness and disappointment.
When Mrs. Lu saw that her sons all had the same reaction, it was obvious that what Wulang said was true.
She was so angry that she almost fainted, and cursed in a trembling voice: "Evil son, this evil son."
She knew that among her sons, the fifth was the smartest and had the most ideas.
But she never thought that the fifth brother would keep things so secret from her and his other brothers.
Even though he had so much private property, he was still so stingy with his family and continued to force his brothers to live frugally to support him.
This is exactly what Wulang's wife described before. The fifth brother is like a leech, staring at his brothers and sucking their blood.
Lu Shao struck while the iron was hot, "There's more."
Mrs. Lu asked, "Anything else?"
Lu Shao pursed his lips and said, "Ever since my stepmother married my father, she has started to support and subsidize her family."
"Not only do we have to send rice, flour, meat and vegetables every month, we also provide clothes for the Yu family all year round."
"Every season, from the old to the young, the Yu family has new clothes to wear, and they can even get an extra set during the Chinese New Year. They are all made of cloth bought by my stepmother."
"My brother-in-law and his cousin are studying, and the tuition is also paid by my stepmother."
"My stepmother would go to the pharmacy every two or three months to get tonic medicine for his parents to nourish their bodies."
"When anyone in the Yu family gets sick, they go to the county town for medical treatment, and my stepmother pays for it."
"In addition to these, my stepmother often gives money back to her parents' home."
"I have found over a hundred taels of silver here, and I don't know how many more there are that I haven't found."
"I didn't expect that. I wanted to continue my studies, but my father said he had no money and that he still needed support from people back home."
"I have to earn my own salary, but they not only support the entire Yu family, but also two scholars."
"By the way, I also found out that one of the shops my father bought is now used by the eldest branch of the Yu family for business."
"We don't charge a penny for rent, and I don't know if the shop will be transferred to the eldest wife of the Yu family in the future."
"The eldest branch of the Yu family runs a dry goods store, and the business is pretty good. I found out that it was my father who helped to contact the purchase of goods."
I have to say that the couple are two extremes.
A man who takes advantage of his mother and brothers in his hometown to support himself.
One is to find ways to subsidize your mother's family.
These words made the old lady and others so angry that they felt like vomiting blood.
It completely touched their sore spot.
The old lady couldn't help but picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it heavily on the ground.
"Asshole, beast, bastard, how could I give birth to such a heartless thing."
She was really pissed off.
The same goes for the Lu brothers. They were so good to their younger brother, but in the end they got this kind of reward.
"Lao Wu is such a heartless person. We have been saving money and eating coarse food to support him these years."
"But he supports the entire Yu family, and I don't know how much he has subsidized."
"The fifth wife is probably laughing at us for being stupid in her dreams."
"In their eyes, we are not brothers or relatives. We are just the enemies in the eyes of Wulang's wife."
They have loved this younger brother since he was a child and have taken care of him for many years.
But their younger brother treated them worse than outsiders, which really made them angry.
Mrs. Lu and her companions couldn't help but burst into cursing.
Some even started to cry while talking, "Our son and daughter have the same set of clothes, the oldest wears it and then the youngest, and we only make new clothes when they are torn."
"But the Yu family makes new clothes every season. Why?"
"Why is my life so miserable? I married into a family with such a cannibalistic brother-in-law and sister-in-law."
"Oh my god, how could there be such a heartless bitch."
The elders were cursing and the younger ones were also looking unhappy.
Although it was not appropriate to curse along with them, I couldn't help cursing in my heart.
After scolding her for a while, the old lady suddenly reacted, looked at Lu Shao and asked, "Where did your father get so much money?"
It is impossible for the fifth brother to have so much money to buy property.
The ex-daughter-in-law's family was not that wealthy, so it was impossible for her to leave behind so many assets.
Lu Shao said truthfully: "I found out that my mother left all the money and dowry in the family to my father."
"Before he passed away, he also gave the money and property that my great-uncle had asked me to keep to my father for safekeeping."
"But my father took it and used it for his own benefit."
He never thought of covering up such a shameless thing for his father.
"My uncle's family used to be a wealthy family in Jiangnan, but they moved here after their family fell into decline."
"Although we were defeated, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse, so we still left behind a lot of money and property."
"It is also because of this money that the five families in the county town live such a good life."
"Not only are my father and stepmother's food and clothing no worse than those of wealthy families, but Lu Zhoujin and his sister are also comparable to the young masters and young ladies of wealthy families."
"Even the men and women of the Yu family live a life similar to that of some families in the county town."
He knew how to poke the Lu family's sore spots.
If it was just his father who embezzled the money from his uncle's family, but only the fifth family in their county town used it secretly.
The Lu family will be disappointed and angry, but within a certain range.
After all, people are close or distant to each other. They have supported each other for so many years, so they will always find excuses for each other.
But if you knew that you were subsidizing the Yu family and spending so much on them.
This would completely cross the bottom line of everyone in the Lu family and touch their reverse scale.
In addition to disappointment and anger, there will also be extreme rage and a stinging pain of betrayal.
In this way, the next things to be proposed can be accomplished smoothly.
Qiao Ye glanced at her husband, whose expression and thoughts were unreadable, and found that this guy had also learned to pretend and was very good at laying the groundwork.
It gradually aroused the anger of the Lu family and directly hit the Lu family's most painful points and reverse scales.
Just followed his lead, it was great!
In fact, after she came to the Lu family, she was able to sow discord between the Lu family and the scumbag eunuch.
Apart from the initial involvement of interests and suppression by force, she was able to provide more benefits later on and made the Lu family truly and slowly rely on her.
It is also closely related to the fact that the scumbag father-in-law did a lot of things that hurt his mother and brothers.
But no matter what happened before, the old lady and the Lu brothers still had feelings for the scumbag father-in-law.
It’s like the old lady in the county town, when she goes out to chat with other old ladies, she only scolds her daughter-in-law, Yu Wanzhi.
The Lu brothers did not say anything bad about their younger brother in the village, they only said that their younger brother's wife was not decent.
But after this incident, she believed that no matter how stupid or foolish the Lu family was, they would not end well.
My feelings and tolerance for my scumbag father-in-law have almost been exhausted.
This is indeed the best time to propose adoption.
