After hearing what Ding said, Su Hongmeng felt that it was reasonable. His already relaxed face tightened again, and he said coldly: "It's not easy to go back to my hometown!"

When he walked into the old house, Su Hongmeng found that the stone slabs in the yard seemed to have been recently re-paved. They were all small square stone slabs. There were also raised pebbles in the gaps between the stone slabs. It was not smooth and smooth to step on.

The colorful paper on the side reached to my feet, and I couldn't help shouting in a low voice: "We came to worship our ancestors a few years ago. Isn't the bluestone in the yard the best? Why did we replace it with this one?"

The steward apologized and said with a smile: "The eldest lady asked me to change her. She hasn't moved around for a long time. She spread the pebbles and walked up to relax the acupuncture points under her feet..."

When the second young master Su Jinguan heard this, he curled his lips and smiled at Su Guiyan: "Among the few of us, the eldest sister is rich. She holds the money of her late mother for you. She even turned over the tiles and stones of the old house without using it from the public house... Later, please advise the eldest sister. Part of the money and silver was also left to you by the aunt. She spent all of it. What kind of business is that?"

The "aunt" in his mouth was Hu, who died young. Hu was the eldest daughter of the Hu family, a spice merchant in Suzhou. The Hu family's spice business had been prosperous for a while, and they were not stingy with Hu's dowry.

It's just that there was a time when the Su family was in trouble, and half of the dowry brought by Mrs. Hu was put in.

Later, before Hu passed away, he gave all the remaining dowry to his young children. He also specially asked for official documents as evidence, and invited Su's elders and her mother's family to count the banknotes and fields. She bluntly said that after she left, only her young daughter and her infant son would be left. These dowries would be the basis for them to settle down in the Su family in the future. No one was allowed to move the money, and only his dowry mother Tian helped the children take care of it.

Those fertile fields are leased to tenant farmers who are familiar with them, and the harvest is guaranteed every year despite droughts and floods. Although the money is not rich, it is enough to meet daily needs.If something unexpected happened to her pair of children, then she would ask the elders of the two families to make the decision and donate all the money and property to the temple and nunnery as incense money. This could be regarded as accumulating virtue for her poor children in the next life.

At that time, these words made Su Hongmeng extremely embarrassed.Unknown to outsiders, he had already had a relationship with Mr. Ding at that time. It was this that made Mr. Hu heartbroken and sick, and suddenly died.

Mrs. Hu's words seemed to be asking for an orphan on her deathbed, but the words also revealed her distrust of the future wife of the Su family. She was afraid that she would harm her children by seeking money, so she said the ridiculous thing of donating everything.

Death is the most important thing. Uncle Su couldn't refute Hu's arrogance. Besides, the Su family had long since recovered and was very wealthy. How could he care about his wife's dowry?Therefore, Uncle Su all obeyed the Hu family and gave all the dowry of his deceased wife to her children.

It is not difficult for Su Luoyun to spend a small amount of money to renovate the courtyard floor.

However, after hearing what Lao San said, Su Hongmeng still frowned in disapproval.

Su Luoyun has been a maverick girl since she was a child. When she was twelve years old, she took Tian's mother to the farm and took back all the tenant account books left to her by the Hu family. She kept all the money in her hands.

At that time, he felt that it was not a good thing for the little girl to take over the money and property early, so he gave Luo Yun a serious lesson.

But the child took advantage of her late mother's last words, saying that this was what Hu had left for their siblings, and they could spend it on whatever they wanted without their father having to worry about it.

How could Su Hongmeng tolerate such an uneducated and naughty daughter?The elders of the Su family were called on the spot, and they bluntly said that although Hu's dowry did not need to be taken care of by him, if the education of girls here did not need to be taken care of by him, then by all means, let Su Luoyun lead her brother to live on his own, and there would be no need to bear the name of a descendant of the Su family in the future.
