Chapter 855 The real prodigal

When Yang Meng handed over the last private money-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Men can't have private money!"

"That's right! If you have it, you will be in a mess!"

"Now, do you still dare to waste it?"

Yang Meng looked dark: "Why did I waste extravagance over the years? What money did I spend? I spent this time and you confiscated my private money?"

"What private money do you want? You don't have to spend money, you don't need to eat or wear. What do you want to do?" Zet said.

Long Xixiang added fuel to the side and said, "That's right, Zet has been managing the house these years, what have you cared about?"

Miu Nakamura nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Sister Zete has worked hard all these years!"

Ona also said: "Yes, it's easy for such a big family to live by Sister Zete's careful calculations?"

Zet sighed and said, "Yes, we are just blind, how can we look down on this lazy guy?"

Yang Meng was speechless: "I said Longxixiang confiscated my private money. [Yanyu Hongchen Novels] After all, women in Han Dynasty have this habit. What are you joining in the fun?"

"Go to the countryside and follow the customs." Ona said naturally.

Yang Meng said angrily: "Also, what nonsense did you just say? You are still calculating and living a life carefully? When should our family live a life carefully?"

Zet said with a grievance: "In the three years when someone and someone disappeared, there was no investment at home. In order to maintain the quality of life at home, you have to be careful in your budget!"

Yang Meng completely surrendered: "You are right, what you said makes sense! You give the bank card with both hands, do you spare me ok?"

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Dandan jumped and ran in: "Dad, let's go, didn't you agree to go to the simulation cabin together?!"

After hearing this, Yang Meng was so angry that he came, but before he could speak, Long Xixiang became anxious: "You are so embarrassed to mention it? Your father spent so much money to buy you a toy, and he really dared to buy it!"

Dandan's face changed after hearing this, and she turned around and was about to leave. As a result, Long Xixiang grabbed his ears: "You kid still want to run away? Come on, you guys sit down! I will give you an education class, which is in four words: thrifty and thrifty!"

Dandan tilted her head and looked at Yang Meng: "Dad, I heard it right? Mom taught us how to be thrifty? She is the one who can spend the most at home? She spends the most on all of us, right?"

Yang Meng winked at Dandan: "Shh, stop talking nonsense. Your mother compares us with Sheng Laosi and Peng Laoqi."

Dandan asked in confusion after hearing this, “Who are they all?”

Miyu Nakamura and others also looked at Yang Meng with confusion.

"You say!" Long Xixiang said to Yang Meng.

Yang Meng sighed and said, "Well, this is just a few prodigal sons. For example, Sheng Laosi, whose real name is Sheng Enyi, and his father is Sheng Xuanhuai. Sheng Xuanhuai was a key figure in the Westernization faction in the late Qing Dynasty. He founded large state-owned enterprises in that era. He took this opportunity to fill his personal pockets. When he died, he left Sheng Enyi with more than 13 million taels of silver. What real estate, real estate, stocks, jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings... Anyway, it is absolutely right to describe him as "rich can rival a country". The first Mercedes-Benz sedan in the Magic City was his."

"One Thousand Three Million Taxis of Silver?" Dandan widened her eyes: "This Sheng Enyi threw a box on the street in one day until she died, right?"

Yang Meng shook her head: "You underestimate Sheng Enyi's ability to spendthrift. Don't talk about how many concubines he has. Anyway, every concubine is a servant in a garden villa, a foreign car. Moreover, this person is very toxic and gambling, so he won't mention anything about smoking cigarettes. For his value, it's all small money, but gambling is terrible: Once he gambled with the son of warlord Lu Lu Yongxiang, and lost more than 100 houses in one night. Such a gambling method is not enough for him to lose. So during the War of Resistance Against Japan, this guy basically lost a penny. Later, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he still had a lot of real estate under his name, but he had to pay land price tax. He couldn't afford it to cause the property to be confiscated, and only the few houses in the Sheng Family Ancestral Hall were left to him, and he eventually died in the ancestral hall."

"What about Peng Laoqi?" asked Miu Nakamura.

Yang Meng said: "He is Zhou Fujiu's grandson!"

Hearing the name "Zhou Fujiu", Dandan raised her hand and said, "I know Zhou Fujiu! It's that old stingy, right?"

"Oh, old stingy?" Ona was confused.

Dandan said, "Well, he was a big salt merchant in that era. He was also a poor man. He was a teenager in the store. Later, he started his business by building the salt industry and then bought land and stir-frying gold. He was also a wealthy person who was as rich as a country. But although this person was rich, he was stingy. He fried broad beans with rice every day. His children couldn't stand it anymore and asked the servants to buy snacks from outside. As a result, Zhou Fujiu was so angry when he found out that, he shouted: Since you are all so poor, I can't do it either! I'll eat a few more broad beans today!"

Ona said: "It turns out to be the Han version of Grandet, Sherlock, Abagong, and Polyukhin!"

The four names he mentioned are the "Four Squiddy Guys" in European literature. Sherlock comes from Shakespeare's drama "The Merchant of Venice", while Abagon is the protagonist of Molière's comedy "The Squiddy Guy"; Grandet is a character in Balzac's novel "The Suffer of the Money", while Puruchkin is a character in Gogol's novel "The Dead Soul".

Dandan looked proud: "Dad, I'm right?"

Yang Meng nodded and continued, "This Peng Laoqi's real name is Peng Zhenming. He is Zhou Fujiu's grandson. Although he is a grandson, he is really not short of money. Later, he married Sheng Laosi's sister Sheng Fangyi and competed with his brother-in-law Sheng Laosi to make a fuss. As a result, the couple swallowed big cigarettes and hanged themselves directly."

"Li Guoyan is even more amazing. He is the son of Li Hongzhang's eldest son Li Jingfang. Oh, he is still a mixed-race child. Among the concubines in Li Jingfang's sixth house, Li Guoyan is a mixed-race child of the country. This guy also defeated all his family property by himself. Their family seems to have a tradition of prodigality, and he is also Zhang Ailing's cousin. After all, Zhang Ailing's father Zhang Zhiyi is the grandson of Li Hongzhang. Zhang Zhiyi is also a "imperial" prodigal son. At that time, when Zhang Zhiyi split the property, he was not counted as land, gold, silver, antique calligraphy and painting, and there were a lot of garden villas. As a result, when Zhang Ailing grew up and studied abroad, he couldn't even afford the tuition fee. Well, I have to thank his father for his family for being able to make a fortune, so there was an extra female writer Zhang Ailing in the Han Dynasty. She supported herself by royalties!"

"Dad, in my mother's eyes, we are like this?" Dandan complained.

Yang Meng asked back, "What do you think?"

Dandan looked sad: "Oh, I plan to learn to fly a plane and take my mother out for fun. I didn't expect that my mother didn't like it. Otherwise, dad, let's return the goods so that you can have some private money! I will never have any random thoughts in the future, so I just stay at home and be a good baby. I will do whatever my mother asks me to do in the future."

When Long Xixiang heard him say this, he became anxious: "Dandan, what are you talking about? Why don't I let you do what you like to do? We are dealing with your father! Just do what you want to do happily. You! Why don't you teach your son how to play with that expensive toy!"

The last sentence was said to Yang Meng.

Although this was so fierce, it came to Yang Meng's ears, which was like spring breeze: "Yes, yes! I'll go now!"

After saying that, he dragged it out and walked out-----If there was a next life in his life, he would definitely choose one person to live to the end of his life. There would be so much woman that would be deadly!

As soon as he slipped into the yard, Dandan looked at Yang Meng with a smirk: "Dad, why do you thank me? I just rescued you!"

"Ah! You're so embarrassed to say that for your sake, your mother and others have confiscated my private money!" Yang Meng widened her eyes: "I wouldn't have bought you that thing if I had known!"

"Did you buy it for me? Dad, I am your son. I don't know you anymore? You want to play with me, okay?" Dandan said disdainfully.

Yang Meng blinked, what this kid said really makes sense.

He coughed twice: "Anyway, it's useless to say anything. Don't ask me for pocket money in the future. Go and find your mother. You have seen it too. I have confiscated all my private money!"

Dandan blinked: "Don't let it go, Dad, you don't know how difficult it is to ask for pocket money from your mother! She spent money on her own, but it's so moji to ask her for some money! Dad, I've thought about it. If I marry my wife in the future, I will never marry such a strong woman. This is too terrible!"

Yang Meng coughed twice: "Son, you're thinking too much now. Who in the family makes more money than me? But is my words effective? Isn't this useful?"

The father and son sighed together.

"Dad, you really don't have private money?" Dandan said frowningly: "My hard days will come in the future!"

Yang Meng looked around and said in a low voice after confirming that there was no one, "He has Zhang Liang's plan. I have a bridge ladder. Have you heard of it? Don't worry, we can't starve to death!"

After hearing this, Dandan smiled and stretched out her thumb and said, "Dad is amazing!"

"That's a must! Or am I your father?" Yang Meng said in a low voice: "When you have a holiday this year, I will take you to play with Aunt Imai!"

"Go to Tu'ao? OK!" Dandan said hurriedly after hearing this.

Monro Imai is already married, married to Tuo O, and married a man over 10 years older than her. The couple runs an ice sports goods store and teaches people to ski at the same time. Life is very good.

"Dad, but I still don't understand why Aunt Imai married that old man!" Dandan said, "He is not worthy of Aunt Imai. He is old and divorced! What did Aunt Imai think?"
