Traveling through the Republic of China, I married a dead person

It really was a farce.

The second young lady was not at home, so the second wife cast the bean on her behalf. Although the fourth concubine was still reluctant, it made sense for the daughter to stand on her mother's side. Under the second wife's insistence, everyone agreed.

"The second and third young masters cannot vote. I don't need to tell you the reason, right?" The second wife was ready to break up with them. If the third and fourth wives insisted that their sons had a bean, she would expose their secrets in public.

Seeing that no one objected, the second wife suggested that the third and fourth daughters were still young and could not vote.

As a result, the Fourth Concubine was not happy about this, but the Second Concubine refused to give in. She would do whatever she wanted and take over the Kong Mansion by force. After all, the Kong Mansion was given to her by Su Bai, so she was right.

"I am not afraid if someone wants the Third Master to come back to support me. I will expose the Third Master's affairs and let the people in the three counties know about it. I will also go to the provincial government and let the people in the provincial government know about it too!"

Su Bai understood that the reason why the Second Wife gave in and agreed to everyone throwing beans was not only because she thought that she and her daughter had two beans and the Third Wife would not dare not throw one for her, but also because she was prepared to completely turn against everyone.

Perhaps she knew that if Kong Li became notorious because of the fight for the headship of the Kong family, he would be angry with the fourth concubine and even punish her.

She bet that the Fourth Concubine would not dare to compete with her with Kong Li's reputation.

In this case, she, the second young lady, the third concubine, and the eldest young lady would have four beans in total.

The four, five, six and three ladies only have three in their hands, so she will definitely win.

In this way, no one would dare to say anything when she takes over the Confucius Mansion, and they would have to accept it even if they were not convinced in their hearts.

And the Fourth Concubine agreed to throw the bean, perhaps because Kong Li secretly sent her a message, and she knew that it would be difficult for Kong Li to interfere in the affairs of the Kong Mansion?

The fourth concubine was also very confident. She believed that all the concubines were hers.

After reaching an agreement, they called Kong Dai and Guo Deyi to testify.

Kong Dai had a gloomy face, but Guo Deyi was full of joy. He brought two bowls and a small bowl of fried soybeans: "Ladies, these soybeans are what Madam Six wanted to eat yesterday, and they were just fried today.

Guo Deyi walked up to the ladies and asked each of them to take a soybean. He then placed two bowls on the eight-immortals table. The bowl on the left was for the second wife, and the bowl on the right was for the fourth wife.

"Where's my sister-in-law's bowl?" Kong Man said, "I'll only give this bean to my sister-in-law!"

Su Bai looked at her gratefully. He didn't expect that Kong Man, who had been deliberately avoiding and being cold to him these days, would support him at the critical moment.

"Thanks to Manman, sister-in-law. I really can't manage the Kong family anymore," Su Bai said, patting her belly, "I have to take care of him wholeheartedly."

Unexpectedly, Kong Man glared at Su Bai fiercely and uttered a "humph" through his nose.

Su Bai is confused again, is he crazy?

Do you support me or hate me?

When Kong Man threw the beans in his hand back into Guo Deyi's small bowl, Su Bai saw that the second wife's face changed.

Su Bai felt that the Second Wife had miscalculated and was going to lose.

"Let's start. Second sister, you are the oldest, so you go first!" A smile appeared on the fourth concubine's face.

The second wife hesitantly put two beans into the bowl on the left. Having lost the vote of the eldest lady, it was obvious that her confidence was immediately lost by half.

The third concubine became the deciding factor. The second and fourth wives each thought that the third concubine was their own because they both had something on her.

Su Bai also wanted to know which bowl the Third Aunt would throw her heart into, to see who she would choose and who she was going to offend.

The third concubine seemed to have thought of it beforehand. She came to the table with beans in her hand and said to the second concubine, "Second sister, I don't want to offend you, but if I throw the beans to you, can I still live?" Then she threw the beans into the fourth concubine's bowl.

"Can you survive if you offend me?" The second wife was angry.

The fourth concubine laughed out loud: "I said that if the third sister can live, she can live well. Second sister, how much blood you have sucked from me and the third sister over the years, don't you know?"

After the fourth concubine finished throwing the beans, the fifth concubine didn't stop for a moment and threw the beans into the fourth concubine's bowl.

There were two in the second concubine's bowl, and three in the fourth concubine's bowl.

The only one missing is the Sixth Concubine.

The Sixth Concubine came to the table, twisting her body and holding up the beans in her hand. "If I give up like the eldest daughter, no one will be offended, and the Fourth Sister will win. Anyway, the Fourth Sister will win, so I..."

She placed her hand over the Fourth Wife's bowl and paused for a moment. Suddenly, she quickly transferred the beans to the Second Wife's bowl and clapped her hands: "Okay, it's a draw!"

"What's wrong with you, you slut?" If the Third Madam hadn't stopped her, the Fourth Madam would have pounced on her.

The second wife didn't expect this to be the end, she just sat there stupidly without moving.

Even though it ended in a draw, she still didn't get the result she wanted, so her mood must have been very complicated.

"Am I crazy or are you crazy?" The Sixth Auntie put her hands on her hips and pointed at the Second Mistress first, then the Fourth Mistress: "This family originally belonged to the eldest young mistress. It's okay for her to have children and not take care of things. You are not qualified to manage this family for her!"

"Are you qualified?" asked Mrs. Five.

The Sixth Concubine turned around and pointed at Kong Man: "Only the eldest daughter is qualified to take charge of the Kong family on behalf of the eldest young lady!"

Kong Dai immediately said that what the Sixth Madam said was very reasonable.

Su Bai also felt that the Sixth Concubine's idea did make some sense. The eldest daughter and the eldest son had the same father and mother, so she was more suitable to be the housekeeper than the other concubines.

The fourth concubine had nothing to say and could only vent her anger on Kong Dai, scolding him for not interrupting as a servant.

After a few minutes of silence, the Second Wife slammed the table and stood up: "Stop making a fuss, this house belongs to the eldest young mistress, no one has the right to manage the household for her!"

She suggested that Su Bai continue to be in charge and that no one else should think about it.

As a result, everyone stopped making a fuss.

The Fourth Madam has Kong Li as a strong backup, so she is not in a hurry to make trouble.

The third, fifth and sixth concubines naturally supported Su Bai to continue to be the head of the family because Su Bai had promised to share half of the dividends starting from this month.

Only Su Bai knew what the Second Wife was thinking. Even though Su Bai was the housekeeper, she could still manipulate things behind the scenes.

Su Bai did not expect this result. After the commotion, the power of being the head of the Kong Mansion returned to his hands.

She expected that the Second Wife would come to see her again soon, so she took the initiative to go to her East Backyard. Since the Second Wife came back, the eldest daughter Kong Man moved back to her original residence and lived in the West Second Courtyard with the Sixth Concubine.

Su Bai asked the second wife to continue to go to the accounting office to check the accounts in the future, and it could be done once every few days. After Su Bai took away 2000 yuan, there were more than 800 yuan left in the account. Su Bai paid another 500 yuan to the second wife, and the remaining more than yuan was left for daily expenses of the Kong family.

Su Bai couldn't explain why he had to spend 500 yuan on the Second Wife. Perhaps he felt sorry for the Second Wife because she had gone to so much trouble to set up such a scam but didn't get much money. Or perhaps it was because of the Second Miss. If the Fourth Wife really took charge of the family one day, the lives of them mother and daughter would be better.

A habitual liar, this is how Su Bai describes himself.

She told the second wife that even though she failed to be the head of the household, she didn't want to be in charge of the household anymore.

Su Bai was only exercising the housekeeper's power on the surface. From now on, the second wife would be informed of every expenditure of the Kong Mansion, and all the monthly surplus would belong to her.

He still left the Confucius Mansion after half a year as agreed with the second wife.

The second wife didn't agree: "We'll talk about it when the time comes!"

It’s not that the Second Wife was reluctant to let Su Bai go, but given the current situation of the Kong Mansion, she was not sure she could take control of the Kong Mansion within half a year.

In fact, when the second wife designed this scam, her dream was to seize all the property of the Kong family. Now, she has to aim to get as much income as possible from the Kong family's business and real estate.

What she didn't expect was that the 500 yuan that Su Bai asked her to take away was her last large sum of income from the Kong Mansion.

On the third day after the ladies' farce in the lobby, the Sanlong Office was officially established in Linhua County, and the Temporary Seventh Division was officially renamed the Sanlong Regional Security Division.

As it concerns the interests of everyone in the Confucius Mansion, the concubines in each room paid close attention to this news and repeatedly studied the relevant content regarding the separation of military and political affairs.

On December 12, the second wife came to Su Bai with a newspaper and told him the results of her research: "See, Kong Li will no longer be able to control the affairs of our mansion this time!"

Su Bai smiled and said, "What does this have to do with me? I will leave sooner or later anyway."

"Tomorrow, call those bitches to the front yard lobby and give me the power of the house!"

"This matter... okay." Su Bai wanted to tell her that it was not that simple. Seeing how excited she was, if he spoiled her fun, he might get scolded by her.

Okay, let’s wait and see.
