I messed up the Siheyuan

When talking about his father, who is already in his seventies, choked up with sadness.

After a long while, he stopped talking and continued.

"After my father passed away, I felt depressed for a long time."

"But when I cheered myself up again, I found out..."

"Those dog slaves in the house no longer have the reverence they once had."

"Oh my god!..."

"The antiques, calligraphy and paintings, furniture, even grain, mules and horses in my house, no matter what they are, as long as they are out of my sight, they dare to steal them out."

"I called the police to arrest them, but instead of doing anything, the gang of black dogs blackmailed me for two thousand dollars."

“I saw that this couldn’t go on like this.”

"If we delay any longer, these bastards will steal all the good things in my house."

"I was so anxious that I had someone build a small courtyard like this and moved all the valuables in the mansion here."

As he spoke, a hint of complacency appeared on his face.

“This little yard is great!”

"As long as you close the door... hehe... no one can steal anything from here!"

"After that!... I put all the big things in the house, such as the red sandalwood screen, mahogany tables and chairs, rockery, longevity stones, etc., into a pile and sold them all to it."

"Haha... I had to tear down and sell off such a huge prince's mansion, leaving only a bare house!"

"I wonder what else they can steal?"

"Those dogs saw that I didn't pay them and there was nothing to steal in the mansion, so within a month, they left with nothing."

"I put all the money from the sale and my family's money in a foreign bank and exchanged it for a deposit certificate of 100,000 oceans!"

“I thought it was a good idea!”

"This amount of money is enough for my wife and I to live comfortably for the rest of our lives."

"Who knows! ... If we spend frugally, we can leave some for my future son."

"Who knows? ... No matter how careful you are, you can never prevent a thief from roaming your own home!"

"My wife, seeing that my family was in decline, started to have other ideas."

"She stole my deposit slip and eloped to Shanxi with one of her male classmates."

"hehe..."

"Fortunately, she didn't know that I secretly transported all the good things in the mansion to this small courtyard."

"It's a good thing I didn't convert those properties into money!"

"Otherwise...she will definitely give me a roll-up party."

"I would have died of poverty and starvation decades ago!"

As he spoke, he sighed heavily, and emotions of sadness, regret, and anger appeared on his face alternately.

"My wife! She was originally a poor scholar's daughter."

"That poor scholar, although poor, has some knowledge."

"Give it to this girl, who has been attending a church-run Western school since she was little."

"So, my wife... in the old words, is a progressive young person with advanced ideas..."

"People like her would have looked down on an old man like me."

"But who would have known...his poor scholar father suddenly fell ill, and his family had no money to treat him."

"I don't know how my father got to know about this."

"What happened next was just some old routine."

"My father paid a large sum of money to treat the old scholar."

"As a result, the old scholar was not cured."

"They don't have money to pay the debt, so they use this girl to pay it back."

"At first, my father just wanted her to come into the mansion and be a maid."

"Later, I found that she was not only good at writing and calculating, but also spoke and acted in a graceful manner, with a scholarly temperament."

"My father thought that making her a maid was too much of a humiliation for her, so he made her my concubine."

At this point, he saw Wang Ping's confused face, so he smiled and explained, "Since the establishment of the Republic of China, there has been no such thing as a 'concubine'.

However, during the Republic of China, wealthy men and big businessmen would usually marry some young and beautiful girls as concubines after they married their first wife.

This "concubine" is between the first wife and the second wife. "

Wang Ping nodded, and then asked curiously, "After your concubine ran away, did you never marry again?"

The second one shook his head and said helplessly: "For someone like me, it is impossible for a lady from a good family to marry me, and I look down on girls from ordinary families.

Besides, I am also afraid that the wife I find will run away with my money.

At that time, I was counting on buying some ancestral inheritance to make a living.

If it happens again, I will really starve to death.”

At this point, he hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Actually... my concubine later asked someone to send me a message, asking me to go to Shanxi to save her?"

"Save her?" Wang Ping looked at the two men in confusion.

"Yes!" Na Er nodded, "The reason why her classmate eloped with her was actually because he had a crush on the deposit certificate of 100,000 yuan in her hand.

After the two of them arrived in Shanxi, her classmate used the money to get an official position in Shanxi."

Having said that, he sneered, with a hint of mockery on his face.

"These two people did such a wicked thing, maybe even God couldn't stand it!"

"Within a year, a war broke out in Shanxi!"

"It is said that her male classmate was...shot dead by soldiers in the government office."

"She herself was sold to a brothel by human traffickers."

"Later, she asked someone to send me a message!"

"Ah!... This..." Wang Ping looked at the second one and asked curiously, "So where did you go?"

"Yes!" There nodded.

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed ahead, “Not only this alley, it used to belong to our family.

At least half of the alley in front belongs to us.

I sold the house that was half the size of an alley, raised enough money for the trip and her redemption, and went to Shanxi.

But when I got there... hehe... she was already dead."

"Dead?" Wang Ping was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion: "How could he be dead?"

The second one smiled bitterly and said with some sadness: "My wife is not only good-looking, but also has the elegant temperament of a scholar because she has studied abroad.

A woman like her, if she falls into a brothel, would be like a sheep falling into a tiger's mouth.

She...she didn't wait until I got there!"

As he spoke, his eyes started to turn red.

Wang Ping looked at him strangely.

As a man...

Your wife took your money and ran off with someone else.

Even though you hate her, when she is in trouble, you go to save her without hesitation.

Those two are possessed by a dog!

In other words, although the old man doesn't say it, in his heart, he actually loves his wife very much.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have remained single for his entire life.

As for his wife...if she were in modern society, she would definitely be a sea king!
