Chapter 330 Xu Wanli
"Wait, don't throw dirty water on my brother. I want to ask you, why don't you give your daughter a dowry? So much so that your son even pawned the family's belongings to give his sister a dowry."
Xu Wanli was very excited. "Why didn't I give her anything? I gave her two thousand taels of silver! Three meals a day, enough for a lifetime, I think I did her a good deed. Now Wenyuan has given all the ten thousand taels of silver to this money-loser. Ten thousand taels! It will take me a month to earn it back. This brat is too outrageous."
Su He rolled his eyes and was too lazy to talk.
"You earn 10,000 taels a month, but you only give your daughter a dowry of 2,000 taels. How can you be so embarrassed? If I were you, I would give her a dowry of 50,000 taels of silver."
Xu Wanli was so stunned that he almost forgot that he came here to question.
"You are so arrogant! Why should I give you so much? A daughter who is married off is like water spilled."
"Then why are you still thinking about the ten thousand taels? The money has been thrown away with my daughter. Just consider it lost. Anyway, you have earned it back this month."
"Then my work last month was in vain. Why?"
"Then just think of it as a year with only 11 months. It hailstorm last month, it's unlucky, forget it."
Xu Wanli opened his mouth and looked at Su He in disbelief.
"What are you talking about? You forgot? How could I forget? Are you crazy?"
"You're crazy, you fat bastard. I'm only talking to you for Xu Wenyuan's sake. If it were anyone else, I would have kicked him out long ago. Your carriage is worth more than two thousand taels of silver, yet you're so mean to your own daughter! Get out of here, Xiaobai!"
Su He stood up, put her hands on her hips and cursed, then told Xiao Bai to throw him out.
The 200-pound fat man was carried out of the house in an instant.
"If you dare to come again, I will beat you up every time I see you."
Xu Wanli was very angry when he saw the door slam shut.
But he didn't dare to force his way in. The man who had just lifted him up was very strong. He looked thin, but he could lift him up with one hand.
He and his two servants were no match for them.
Xu Wanli snorted coldly, got on the golden carriage and left.
Speaking of the carriage, he redeemed it.
The brat pawned the carriage for 2000 taels of silver. Fortunately, it was a live pawn, so he got it back after adding some handling fees.
Apart from these, he also pawned the valuable ornaments in his study and replaced them with fake ones.
Three days ago, he had just obtained a piece of mutton-fat white jade, so he invited a group of friends to admire it and show off his room full of treasures.
The result, of course, was that he was laughed at by his old friends because the room was full of fakes.
Whenever Xu Wanli thought of the scene at that time, he felt ashamed and angry.
When has Xu Wanli ever been so embarrassed? It's so infuriating.
He calculated that he had spent 40,000 taels of silver in the past few days running around to redeem his treasure, including the handling fees.
Forty thousand taels, all given there. Wait, didn’t this brat give ten thousand taels to the sixth brother? Where did the other twenty thousand taels go?
Thinking of this, Xu Wanli directly asked his servants to go to the academy to intercept his son. The 20,000 taels of silver must be taken back.
Half an hour later, Xu Wenyuan, who got the report card, was caught by his father as expected.
Before leaving, Xu Wanli spoke to Mu Tou and Qu Qing with a bad look on his face.
"Don't harass my son again."
"Dad, what nonsense are you talking about! This has nothing to do with Su Che and Qu Qing, I did it, so what!"
Xu Wenyuan was very righteous. He was not honest even when he was caught by his own father. His plump body struggled desperately, and Xu Wanli almost failed to hold him. It was only with the help of the coachman that the two fat men, one big and one small, successfully entered the carriage.
"Wenyuan, see you in the summer!"
Mu Tou made a trumpet shape with his hands and shouted at the carriage that was moving away.
Mu Tou originally thought that he would not get a response, but suddenly a head appeared in the carriage.
"okay!"
Both Mu Tou and Qu Qing laughed. Qu Qing saw his own carriage coming, so he said goodbye to Mu Tou.
"See you in September, Wood."
"See you in September."
Mu Tou smiled and said goodbye to his friends, then walked towards Liu Bai who was waiting on the side.
After Wang Bin and his two companions went on a business trip, Liu Bai was responsible for picking up and delivering the wood.
"Brother Xiaobai, I ranked fourth, Qu Qing ranked fifth, and Wen Yuan ranked twenty-first."
"The essay I wrote was so bad that I lost too many points. The teacher said that if we are willing, we can come to him after writing an essay during the summer vacation, and he will help guide us."
Liu Bai looked at Mu Tou with a very gentle gaze, "So do you want to write? If you do, your sister and I will support you."
Mu Tou nodded heavily, "Write. The teacher assigned four essays. I will take two days off and start writing the first one."
Liu Bai was of course encouraging. He was Hehua's younger brother. If Mu Tou had a promising future, Hehua would also live a good life in the future.
The three of them stayed in the city for the next half month. Only after Mu Tou went to the academy and revised the first article with his teacher did they return to the village to escape the summer heat.
In the glittering carriage
Xu Wanli was glaring at his son.
"You little brat, stay home and read books during the summer vacation."
"I won't! I've made an appointment with my sixth sister to go to her house to play. And as for my eldest sister, I've promised my two little nephews to take them to a restaurant for dinner. One should not break one's promise."
Xu Wanli was so angry that he laughed. This kid didn't feel that he was in trouble at all.
"You are so generous. Why don't you earn money yourself? Take out my money."
Xu Wenyuan stiffened his neck and refused to admit it. "Didn't you say that if I studied hard, I could spend whatever money I wanted? I've improved by five places this time. Why don't you keep your word?"
Xu Wanli choked and asked directly about the whereabouts of the 20,000 taels of silver.
"Where's the silver? I spent 40,000 taels to redeem the things. You gave Lao Liu 10,000 taels, so there are at least 25,000 taels left. Where did it go?"
Xu Wenyuan felt very proud when he saw that his father was unable to do anything to him.
"I don't understand what you are saying. You must have been cheated. I only sold it for 15,000 taels. Didn't you ask me to give 10,000 to Sixth Sister as a dowry? I gave the rest to Grandma. As for those broken antiques of yours, Dad, you must have been cheated by your friends. They are not worth that much silver at all."
"You, you, rebellious son, what nonsense are you talking about! I will beat you to death, you loser."
Xu Wanli rushed to the other side to hit his son, but unfortunately Xu Wenyuan who was prepared dodged it. The father and son chased each other in the carriage.
The servant driving the carriage had a bitter face and kept whipping the mule in an attempt to speed it up. If they didn't get home soon, the carriage would overturn.
Although Xu Wenyuan looks silly, he is actually quite smart. He was not even hit once by his father along the way.
But before getting off the bus, he was caught by his old father. His hair was messy, his clothes were torn, and his face was accidentally cut.
The servant driving the carriage saw his young master wailing and jumping off the carriage, running all the way into the old lady's yard. Not long after, his old master also ran off the carriage angrily. It seemed that he had not yet vented his anger.
