Chapter 493: Chapter 496: Wild Ideas_1
Little Wang Clan said in a delicate voice, "Fourth Boss, you once told mother that you would leave this house for them to spend their old age, but now you’re planning to sell it. Are you planning to take father and mother to live in your house?"
She wasn’t interested in the dilapidated cottage; she just wanted to send the two old things away.
The two of them only ate without working and were constantly pointing fingers and making unwarranted criticisms.
Every time she saw them, her anger would flare up uncontrollably.
"When the property was divided, father and mother said they would live with the second branch, and they even wrote a Relationship Termination Letter. Are you still trying to push father and mother onto me?"
Tan Zhenghong asked in a stern voice.
He had long acted as if he had no parents, and now they wanted him to care for them until the end of their days? He could only say that he couldn’t do it!
Tan Yuancheng cleverly suggested, "Little Brother Tie, my mind was clouded by lard when we divided the property. Now, I want to divide it again. All the assets will be split into four, and my wife and I will take turns living with our four sons. What do you think about that?"
He had always schemed behind Wang Clan’s back, but this time he couldn’t stay put.
First of all, living with the second son would mean a miserable twilight, and secondly, he dreamed of moving into the house at The Fourth Boss’s House.
Qiao Duo’er was so angry she laughed, "Ah Hong and I have never said the severance book was invalid."
Tan Yuancheng glared at Qiao Duo’er, then turned to Tan Zhenghong, "Fourth, forgive me for that one time. I was clouded by lard, but father and son, no matter how big the grudge, are still father and son, right? Let’s just settle it like this, starting from the first day of the next month."
The mistreatment of Tan Zhenghong had always been orchestrated by Wang Clan, so he probably didn’t hate him; perhaps he would be receptive to his words.
If Fourth agreed, the rest would be easy.
When it was Fourth’s turn, they could stay a few extra days, and Tan Zhenghong would surely be too embarrassed to kick them out.
"My wife and I are the only ones who are family."
Tan Zhenghong was adamant in his stance. Did they think they could slap him and then offer a sweet date?
Sorry, but he wasn’t accepting.
If the honest and loyal Tan Zhenghong wouldn’t agree, then the others were even less likely to.
Tan Zhengyuan said with a smile, "Father, don’t think that we don’t know you’ve given all the good stuff to the second son. How much of the family wealth do you have now? Is it enough to last you until you die?"
"When you say fair and square, do you mean you will first take back everything you’ve given to the second son?"
Tan Zhongzhong also shouted, his knowledge of the second son’s thoughts clear as day.
He reaped the benefits and then kicked the two old ones out, seeming to take all the good fortune for himself.
But where in the world could you find such a cheap deal? 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
Little Wang Clan let out a light sneer, "What benefits have we taken? We catered to them, eating and drinking for free for so long, even helping the eldest with our belongings. The eldest has hands and feet, how can he be comfortable accepting this?"
"How dare you say you haven’t taken any benefits? When the property was split, your house took the majority!"
"That was for Xiao Fu, given by the old couple. Didn’t you also get twenty taels when you had a son? Look at my poor memory. They also have six acres of good farmland; take it if you want."
Little Wang Clan spoke indifferently, but the land left for Xiao Fu was off-limits to everyone.
Wang Clan, pointing at Little Wang Clan, could barely keep her hand from trembling, "Give me back the land and the silver!"
Little Wang Clan told her brother, now a scholar, that registering the land in his name could exempt it from taxes.
She thought the taxes were a major expense each year, and without them, life would be easier at home, so she agreed.
Later, she was told that there was a deposit required to change the name, and she agreed to that as well.
But as it turned out, she heard from others that scholars could only be exempted from conscription, not from taxes.
