Chapter 665: Sun Shan's plan to hook up with a rich woman fails
Sun Bomin saw that Yun Jie'er brought so many servants with her. Not to mention the gifts, they would have to eat a lot every day, which would cost a lot of money.
He said with a pained look: "Shanzi, how did you arrange for this servant's daughter-in-law? Has she always lived in our house? Or......"
Sun Shan thought for a moment and said, "Father, I don't quite understand this either. I need to discuss it with Sister Yun. But these servants are the He family's dowry and cannot be returned. They can only stay in our house."
Sun Shan could see that Sun Bomin wanted to send the servants back to the He family, as he felt that his own family was small and did not need so many people.
My family is not wealthy, so how can we afford to support one?
Isn't it often said in operas that servants not only need to be provided with food and lodging, but also need to be paid and arranged for marriage?
Anyway, everything is included, and retirement care is more necessary.
Although Sun Boming was called old man, it was just a name. His daily life was almost the same as that of the villagers, except that he ate better.
Suddenly there are so many servants, it makes me feel uncomfortable and it costs money to support them.
Sun Bomin was uncomfortable, and Huang was also uncomfortable.
There were so many more people in the family, and each of them did not look like a villager. They were much prettier than the villagers in their Sunjia Village - in terms of skin color, complexion, and clothing.
Villagers would come over from time to time to spy and gossip.
Huang didn't dare to say too much.
Huang said to Sun Shan, "Shanzi, it's not a big deal for these servants to live in your uncle's house forever, but our house is too small and we don't know where to put them."
Sun Shan had thought about this question a long time ago.
Leave a servant in the Sun family to manage their daily life.
They would follow the rest of Sister Yun wherever she went.
The Sun family’s old house is small and cannot accommodate too many people.
And the most important thing at the moment is to build a new house, a bigger one, so that all the servants can live in it.
Sun Shan told his plan: "Father, Gui Ge'er's house needs to be built, and our house should also be built. Our house is too small to accommodate it."
Sun Boming had thought about this question a long time ago and looked at the old Sun family house where he had lived since he was born.
He said reluctantly, "We really need to build a house. We will buy new land and build it. When I return after a hundred years, I will leave this old house to Ming Ge'er."
Su said somewhat unhappily, "Shanzi's father, do you really want to leave it to Mingge'er? Shanzi can't keep it?"
There are not many houses in the old Sun family mansion, but the land is large. When Doctor Sun built it, he made it so big on purpose to facilitate drying medicinal herbs.
This yard is comfortable to live in. Once the gate is closed, children can jump around freely and there is a wide range of living areas.
Su was extremely reluctant to leave such a nice house and such good land to Ming Ge'er.
Sun Bomin shook his head and said wistfully, "Ming Ge'er will inherit our father's lineage from now on. Who else should we give it to if not him? If we give it to Shanzi, it will be unjustifiable."
Of course, if Sun Shan didn't let go, Ming Ge'er wouldn't dare to fight. The village would definitely help Sun Shan.
With his status as a juren scholar clearly stated, who would dare to offend Sun Shan?
Great power is one thing, and great principles are another.
Being a human being requires being reasonable and more importantly, following the clan rules and regulations.
The Sun family old house was passed down from Doctor Sun to Sun Boming. Sun Boming could have passed it down to Sun Shan, but Sun Boming decided to end his family line for the sake of Sun Shan.
The descendants of Doctor Sun were inherited by Mingger from the second house, so the house built by Doctor Sun would naturally belong to Mingger.
Now that Sun Boming is still alive, it is natural for him to live in the old house. When Sun Boming passes away, Ming Ge'er will become the new owner of the old house.
Huang thought about this and could only sigh and say, "Shanzi, your father is right. This old house is to be given to Ming Ge'er. You should be more open-minded. This is the clan law and the rules."
Sun Shan missed the old Sun family house more. After all, he had always lived in the old house, and it was natural that he was reluctant to give it up suddenly.
It doesn't matter whether it's money or not.
The land in Sunjia Village is cheap, and building a house is not expensive either. Sun Shan will not steal this little money.
To comfort Huang, Sun Bomin, and Su, she said, "Grandma, Dad, Mom. The old house is indeed given to Brother Ming. That's the rule. I've always understood the reason, but I've lived there for so long that I have feelings for it. But it's still Brother Ming's, so whether it's early or late, it must be returned."
Sun Bomin thought for a while and said, "We must build a new house. I have to ask fortune teller Yang about this old house. This old house is a prosperous place, so we can't move it easily. Fortune teller Yang also said that there was an official hat on the roof of the old house. It's better to believe it than not. What if we move the bricks and Sun Shan's luck is gone? That's absolutely not acceptable."
Sun Boming had long known that his second uncle Sun was eager to move into the old house when he heard that he was going to build a big house.
It's just that I feel embarrassed to bring it up because Sun Boming didn't mention it.
It’s not that Uncle Sun is coveting the house and land of this old house, but he is coveting the good feng shui of this old house.
Douzai is studying in the provincial capital, and I heard he's doing well. If he works hard, maybe he can become the second Sunshan.
Uncle Sun, Aunt Sun and Brother Ming'er's eyes turned green when they heard this.
Douzai is good at studying. If their lineage officially moves into the old house, wouldn’t it be like a fish in water? Wouldn’t Douzai’s study luck be even better?
Don’t blame Uncle Sun, Aunt Sun, and Brother Ming for thinking this way.
Old houses and graves concern the fate of the entire family, so everyone is very cautious about them.
Since Sun Shan, a juren, was born in the Sun family's old house, Uncle Sun naturally wanted to move in, and there might be a second Sun Shan in their family.
Even if he left the sect like Sun Shan did, Uncle Sun and Brother Ming would probably be willing.
After Sun Boming said this, Su and Huang also became cautious.
Su quickly agreed: "Shanzi's father, we don't want to move, even if we build a new house. At most, we can return it when we are old."
Huang was also afraid that Sun Shan’s study would be interrupted after moving out of the Sun family’s old house, which was now the “official residence”.
He agreed and said, "Let's ask fortune teller Yang and see what he says. But even if he says we can move, we still shouldn't move, lest we mess up the mountain's luck."
Sun Shan stared blankly at Sun Boming, Su, and Huang.
We were clearly talking about building a house, how did it get to the point of being concerned with fortune?
But these things are between belief and disbelief.
Sun Shan, a native of Guangnan, chose faith.
After arranging for the servants to pay their respects to the master, Sun Shan counted Yun Jie'er's dowry.
Of course, Huang, Su, and Sun Boming did not participate in these, and they had no reason to participate.
Sun Shan looked at the long list of dowry, his mouth twitched and sweat broke out on his forehead.
The He family seems to be very low-key, who would have thought that the dowry given was so huge.
This is the case of small seclusion in the wild and great seclusion in the city.
It turns out the He family is so rich.
Compared with this, the several hundred taels of betrothal gift given by Sun Shan was nothing.
Sun Shan sighed and said, "Sister Yun, it turns out you are a rich woman. From now on, my husband will have to rely on you for support."
Yun Jie'er's face and ears were red. Facing such a straightforward husband, she said shyly: "Brother Shan, this dowry cannot be given to you. I want to leave it to our son and daughter. After you finish your studies, you have to make money to support the family. You can't rely on me to support you."
Sun Shan:............
Sun Shan's plan to marry a rich woman failed, and he still had to work like a slave for his children and wife.
