Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity
Chapter 348 Sheng Xuan's Mood
"My grandfather has been delaying telling Brother Xiaoyuan that his wife is reluctant to part with the money she has?" Xiaowen said while drinking tea to help digestion, "Maybe they want to keep a few of them..."
"We have already taken care of everything for the old couple, why would they keep some money?" Sheng Xuan thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid they left it for the eldest brother..."
Xiaolan's family all knew that the old man was partial. In the old man's eyes, Shengnuo's current situation was very pitiful.
Sheng Xuan was silent for a while, then hesitantly said to Zhang, "Mother, you see Xiaoyuan said that his wife... our family... our family has lived a good life... can we, can we..."
"Do you mean to spend money to find a wife for Xiaoyuan?" Zhang asked.
Sheng Xuan looked at the child sitting next to him and said, "I... this is what I think... let's discuss this together..."
When Xiaolan and Xiaowen, brother and sister, heard Sheng Xuan say that Xiaoyuan needed money to find a wife, they looked at each other in surprise.
Sheng Xuan is kind-hearted and is good at remembering the good things about others and forgetting the bad things about them. Even though the old house treated their family so harshly, Sheng Xuan would still be concerned about any difficulties in the old house. Xiao Lan even felt that if she and Xiao Wen were not there to block him, Sheng Xuan would ask for whatever he wanted from the old house based on his personality.
However, Sheng Xuan is not such a saint. He is not without resentment towards the people in the old house. It's just that his resentment has never been towards the old man and the old lady, but Sheng Nuo and Sheng Kai. Although Sheng Xuan resents his two brothers, he will not ignore his nephew.
The reason why Sheng Xuan did not take the initiative to decide to pay for Sheng Yuan's marriage, but discussed it with his family, is that Sheng Xuan is not the only one who has the final say in the family now. Xiao Lan and even Xiao Wen are also capable of taking on half of the responsibility of being the head of the family.
Besides, the family had already set a rule long ago that if there was anything, everyone would discuss it together. He also knew that the old house treated Zhang and the children harshly, and he felt guilty in his heart. So if he wanted to give money and property to the old house, he had to discuss it with Zhang and the children.
"Dad, you've just thought about it. In fact, if we pool some money at the old house, we can also raise enough money for Brother Xiaoyuan to marry a wife," Xiao Lan advised.
"It's true that we can get enough together, but when the time comes to ask the old couple to take out the money to do the work...they are so old now, they can't be beaten or scolded...we can't just watch Xiaoyuan stay single like this..." Sheng Xuan said.
"Dad, our family has already separated and lived separately, and it was me who suggested that Xiaoyuan get married... If my grandfather changes his mind and just watches him remain single, can my second uncle's family just watch? To put it another way, since Xiaoyuan's biological parents and grandparents can watch him remain single, why can't we? Whatever, this matter is not our turn to intervene." Xiao Lan said.
"That's true, and it makes sense," Sheng Xuan said helplessly, "but our family is living a good life now. If our family was living an ordinary life, I wouldn't have mentioned it... Now that our family is living such a good life, if our family doesn't help with this matter, the people in the village will say something..."
"Dad, our family lives a good life, but it has nothing to do with their family. We live a good life only after we separated and left them." Xiaowen said.
Seeing that his daughter and son were strongly opposed, Sheng Xuan hung his head.
The children did not agree to spend money to find a wife for Xiaoyuan, and there were sufficient reasons for that. But emotionally, Sheng Xuan did not want to upset the children because of this matter, but he also did not want to watch Xiaoyuan not get a wife because of lack of money. He was tormented and did not know what to do...
"Dad, there is a saying that goes, 'help in times of emergency but not in poverty.'" Xiao Wen said, "Dad, the old house is not without money, and my grandfather has said that he wants to find a wife for Xiao Yuan, and he hasn't said that he is unwilling to spend the money..."
"Xiao Wen is right..." Xiao Lan continued, "Dad, my second uncle's family is lazy and we can't do anything about them, but Xiao Yuan can't learn from them. If Xiao Yuan follows their example, how will he support his wife and children in the future... Our family doesn't pay this money, which is actually a disguised way of telling the people in the old house to learn to be self-reliant, to be upright, and to learn how to be self-reliant."
"Besides, everyone in our village knows who is who. The money in their family is enough for Brother Xiaoyuan to marry a wife, but they originally wanted to find one for the eldest daughter-in-law first, and they have wasted so much on him. Now it's Brother Xiaoyuan's turn. If they are reluctant to take out the money, then even if the villagers are picky, they will still be picky about them!" Xiao Lan said again.
Sheng Xuan sighed, and then sighed again and again.
Xiao Lan actually understood his thoughts. Now their family had separated from the old house a long time ago, but for Sheng Xuan, he still couldn't let go of his feelings for his parents and nephews. He still regarded them as his own family from the bottom of his heart.
Zhang looked at Sheng Xuan's face, then at the two children, and tentatively said to Sheng Xuan, "Before Xiaoyuan went to Hejian County, he was a very good child, but since he came back from Hejian County, he has become a little arrogant..."
Xiaolan and Xiaowen both noticed that Shengxuan was unhappy. After the two children went to the side to discuss for a while, they said to Shengxuan, "Dad, if Xiaoyuan wants to marry and my grandfather really doesn't pay, our family can't just ignore this matter. Let's go over someday and make things clear. Let my grandfather take out the money and find a wife for Xiaoyuan first."
If, as Sheng Xuan thought, their family only knew how to spend money, how could it work? If their family really did this this time, wouldn't they be blamed for any problems in the old house in the future? So why not retreat this time and take control of the money of the old house in a more forceful way? Then in the future, their family would know all the income and expenses of the old house.
However, Xiao Lan also knew that the old house would definitely not be happy with their family's way of management, and some people would definitely be unhappy. However, because of Xiao Yuan's marriage this time, those people's unhappiness could only be hidden in their hearts. Xiao Lan laughed secretly a few times, thinking that if their family managed it like this a few times, the old house would probably not be so eager to come to them if they encountered any problems in the future.
