Chapter 215 - 108: Sang Pingliang Wants to Buy a Concubine (Part 2)
"Then what if you died?" Sang Pingliang retorted.
"You!" Mrs. Li was furious.
"What if both you and I died? To whom would our wealth, houses, and fields go?" Sang Pingliang spoke coldly: "We only have two daughters, no sons!"
Mrs. Li was stunned, and then her face changed, "Yes, yes, a hundred years from now—"
Without a son, after a hundred years, the estate naturally goes to the nephews. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be incidents like widows being kicked out and their family wealth being taken and divided by their husband’s brothers and clansmen. Sang Hong and Sang Pingliang are indeed our direct nephews; it would be completely justifiable for them to inherit.
Upon thinking of this, Mrs. Li suddenly became even more anxious than Sang Pingliang, "No, no, this won’t do! How can the family wealth we’ve worked so hard for simply benefit outsiders like this!"
To blame is her own belly, unable to bear a son, only a daughter. Mrs. Li felt a wave of sorrow and couldn’t help but silently shed tears.
"Master, I think we might as well let Yan’er stay at home and bring in a son-in-law," Mrs. Li’s mind worked quickly, and she clapped her hands in delight: "I think this is the best way to do it! The children will also carry the Sang surname, this way we’ll have heirs to carry on the family line!"
"Humph, wishful thinking!" Sang Pingliang scorned, "Bring in a son-in-law? Can we rely on that? When we are alive we may be able to control that lad from harboring other intentions, but can we still control him after kicking the bucket? With Yan’er’s temperament, is she someone who can hold someone down? In the end, people will just do as they wish; our family wealth will still belong to others, not to our Sang family!"
