Chapter 230, a piece of filial piety
Seeing that it was unprofitable, Youde's wife snorted and said that she had something to do, so she left first. There were a few other people with her. It was not all because of this, but they also had to work on their daily work and it was difficult to leave for too long.
When Tang Youde saw his wife like this, he was both angry and helpless, so he could only apologize to Tang Shu.
How could Tang Shu have been skeptical about them?
"This is how your destiny wife looks like, the princess should not care."
Tang Shu smiled and shook his head, "Fourth Uncle, we will stay in Changzhou for a few more days, and we will trouble you by these things."
"No trouble, no trouble." The fourth uncle said quickly. He hesitated for a moment, "Actually, it's enough to leave the Tang Mansion to us to clean up."
"Old man, my sister-in-law didn't say that you wouldn't let you clean up by yourself. If you leave the matter to you, you can find whoever you want, so that my sister-in-law won't care too much," said Huiling.
The fourth uncle and others looked at Tang Shu. Tang Shu clearly spoke beautifully and didn't want to be tired of them.
Seeing this, Tang Shu really found it a little funny.
"Uncle Youde, don't mind. I just saw my aunt as funny as she was. I've been teasing all the time."
"No, it's okay." Tang Youde shook his head quickly. He knew that his wife was too greedy and wanted to make money from Tang Shu.
The fourth uncle had already said that, but his wife broke up the fourth uncle's desk. Anyway, if it were him, he would feel uncomfortable.
"Although the Tang Mansion is large, it's fast to pack up more people. I will give you two taels of wages in three days. My fourth uncle will help supervise. If there are people who are cheating, I won't pay." Tang Shu said, "If there is a little more intelligent in the clan, I will ask them to help watch the Tang Mansion. If there is anything, don't rush to report to the official or go to Chuanzi Hotpot to tell the shopkeeper there. They will naturally pass the news to me."
"The wages of two taels of 3 days are too high," said the fourth uncle.
"Not high, I know that the fourth uncle is concerned about the people in the clan. This is just to add some benefits to the people in the clan." Tang Shu said as he stretched out his hand to Chu Xun. Chu Xun took out a few silver notes from his arms when he saw this. "When we came, we also passed the Tang family's ancestral temple. The ancestral temple looked a bit disrepaired. The fourth uncle took this thousand taels to repair the ancestral temple, and the rest should be used for daily maintenance."
Tang Shu pulled out one of the pieces of 1,000 taels and handed them to his fourth uncle.
When have the people present seen such a large denomination? His eyes were nailed to the bill and could not be moved away?
The fourth uncle also had his hands trembled throughout the Tang family. Tang Xizhao and his family were quite outstanding. Tang Xizhao's grandfather had been a very young official, but later retired and returned home. He used to live in a large mansion.
Later, the family was in decline, and it was Tang Xizhao's father who was capable and bought a three-entry yard. Although Tang Xizhao was not a child of the Tang family, Tang Xizhao's parents regarded him as their own. Tang Xizhao always regarded himself as a child of the Tang family and did a lot of things for the Tang family.
Originally, the relationship between the Tang clan was quite good. It changed since Tang Xizhao married his second wife. Not to mention the sharp deterioration of the relationship, after Tang Xizhao left, in addition to the Tang Chi family, he was also kind to them and would help him with anything. The old lady and Tang Sheng family were really not obscene, and she was arrogant as if she was an official.
In fact, a long time ago, when Tang Chi was still alive, he took some money to repair the ancestral hall, but the money was put into his pocket by the old lady.
It was not until Tang Chi and his wife died and Tang Sheng took the old lady and her family to the capital that they learned about this.
"Princess, there are too many."
"Not much," said Tang Shu, "I should have given this for my father. If my father is here, I must repair the ancestral hall."
The ancestral hall was really a bit dilapidated, and she was worried that one thousand taels would not be enough.
The fourth uncle's eyes were a little red, and the same was true for the other elderly people.
"You are a good kid, just like your father." said the big grandmother next to him, "Good kid, I know you may be unhappy to say this, but your father once thought about repairing the ancestral hall, but the money was taken away by your grandmother."
The fourth uncle and others lowered their heads and did not speak.
Tang Shu said he was surprised?
Huiling even felt that she had a new understanding of the three views of Tang Shu, grandmother.
"I'm not trying to destroy your relationship with your grandmother, but this repair of the ancestral hall is originally a filial piety of your father, but your grandmother..." You should know that Tang Xizhao's spiritual position is also on the ancestral hall.
"Grandma, I know what you mean." Tang Shu said comfortably, "That money is just for me to respect her. It's okay."
The big grandma opened her mouth and wanted to say something else, but in the end she just said good kids and stopped talking.
They didn't know that Tang Shu had already taken Tang Chi and his wife to separate from the Tang family, so it was normal for them to have some concerns.
Tang Shu said some more words of comfort before getting up and saying goodbye.
After returning to the inn, Huiling couldn't help but speak.
"Then Mrs. Tang is too weird, right? She has to lose all the money for repairing the ancestral hall."
"I didn't tell you before, they value money very much, and it's not surprising at all." Tang Shu said, "You have a good rest. Let's go out for a walk tomorrow, and I haven't visited Changzhou."
Huiling nodded, said, and then returned to his room to rest.
The next morning, the fourth uncle took his people to the Tang Mansion to start cleaning up. Youde's wife was naturally among them. How could she get two taels of silver in three days? In addition, Tang Youde also called her two sons, so that she could get eight taels of silver in three days.
While mocking Tang Shu for being stupid, she didn't know how to get her fourth uncle to come to visit the Tang Mansion.
Tang Shu is so rich, so there must be a lot of money to take care of the Tang Mansion.
Not only did De's wife have this idea, but everyone saw that Tang Shu was so generous and even took out a thousand taels to repair the ancestral hall. Then look at the work of the Tang Mansion, Tang Shu would definitely not be stingy with giving money.
If you don’t ask for a few dozen taels of taels of money, it’s not bad to get two taels of silver a month.
So the fourth uncle became lively here. The younger generation who usually rarely interacted with each other began to get close to each other and said good things, but the fourth uncle was too lazy to pay attention. Seeing that Youde's wife and several other wives came over again, he quickly scolded, "Hurry up and do your work, the princess said that if someone is not serious about working and is cheating, he will not get a penny at that time. What are you going to do? Why don't you pack up quickly?"
