Chapter 17 Alarmism

If you have to endure it, you will be about to be unable to live your life in this second house.

Thinking of his three children, Ruan cried with pain.

A Feng said, "Dad, our second wife is already separated from the big wife. If the big wife goes to the shop to buy things, he has to give money. If he doesn't give money, he is robbed. What's the difference between it and robbers? If this matter is made up, we will take the blame. Even if the grandmother comes forward, the big wife will not take the blame. Dad, why are you hesitating?"

Xi Yun looked at her father, then at her mother who was crying silently, and then at her sister with a cold face. He jumped off the chair, ran to Xi Tongfang, hugged his legs, and said, "Dad, A Yun needs a lot of money to study, Dad, do you want A Yun to study without money, or do you want A Yun to study without money, or do you want our family to be sick without money to watch our family go down? Let my brother and I become little beggars on the street?"

Xi Ming, the eldest brother of the Xi family, is a premature baby. Since birth, his health has been bad. If it is cold and hot, he will get sick. Therefore, Xi Ming has been recuperating in the house and rarely goes out.

A small part of the reason why the second wife lived so hard was that Xi Ming spent a lot of money on medical expenses in a year.

Hangzhou City is a town of fish and rice. The 100 acres of paddy fields in the Xi family are all high-quality paddy fields, fertile land, and fertile soil. The rice harvested a lot in a year is nearly 300 taels of silver. A small family has a lot of money, and it is really a lot of money. Not only can you live a well-off life, but you can also save some and keep it for later use.

But these money are very small for the second wife.

Three hundred taels of silver will be enough to add one hundred taels to two shops a year. Xi Ming will also have one hundred taels to treat a doctor. Only one hundred taels of silver will be enough for the family to eat and communicate with people.

The reason why Xi Feng proposed to close the two shops was to save the 100 taels of silver and could also collect dozens of taels of silver. With this amount of silver in the second house, life would not be so difficult.

But the coffin shop and incense shop were assigned to the second bedroom by the grandfather of the Xi family. Xi Tongfang couldn't bear to close it, but he didn't. He had to pay more than 100 taels of silver in every year...

"Dad, my daughter knows that the two shops were built by the grandfather's bus. You can't bear to keep them closed. Since you can't bear to leave, then Dad should not let the shop make ends meet again. My daughter heard that before last year, the incense and candles taken from the shop by the big house had more than 100 taels of silver, and more than half of them were used as favors, and two aunts took them away... Dad, if this continues, our whole family will be buried with the two shops."

It’s not Xi Feng’s alarmist words, but the truth.

In my previous life, the second wife lost more than a dozen lives just for the family's industries?

In the past life, Xi Feng had resentment against the people of the big house and was not convinced, but she did not dare to disobey Xi Tongfang. But in this life, she would rather be a disobedient daughter or an unfilial granddaughter, and she would never let the big house take a little advantage of the second house again.

She would rather close those two shops than take advantage of the big house.

Xi Tongfang hesitated for a long time and said, "The shop cannot be closed, but I will instruct Manager Sun in the future to stop letting the big house take things and not pay money."

Is it possible?

Xi Feng was very suspicious.
