Chapter 036: Fanning the Flames
Even his brows were frowned heavily.
"Madam." Forsythia walked over quickly, "Doctor Ge has come back."
"You came back in time." Mrs. Li snorted coldly.
Come back when the matter has been resolved.
"Madam, if ordinary people are sick and don't get better after taking medicine, most of them will think that the prescription is wrong. Very few people would suspect that the medicinal materials are inappropriate, but this woman is like this..."
Forsythia paused, "Behind this, someone must have instigated that person. Madam should have stopped that woman and asked her carefully to find out who was behind it."
"Isn't it obvious who is behind the trouble? Why bother to find out?"
Ms. Li said in an angry tone, "That woman obviously loves her daughter and is eager to be used by others, and she also needs to clear up Zhou Ji's reputation. If I press the question urgently, I'm afraid it will be self-defeating."
"Besides, even if I ask, the second brother-in-law will refuse to admit it. Then he will say that I don't like the second brother-in-law. I will suppress them, cry in front of the old lady, and even bring out the elders of the clan to judge."
"Although the old lady is partial to our eldest brother, she is also a face-saving person. She doesn't want this kind of thing to become known to everyone and make other people laugh. Even if she reprimands the second eldest brother, she will only blame me for not being cautious enough."
"But... let's forget it like this?" Forsythia was really unwilling to do so.
"How could it be possible?" Ms. Li gritted her teeth, "Since the second wife has done such a thing and made it so obvious, don't blame me for being embarrassed."
"What the lady means is..."
"I remember that the second wife arranged for my nephew to work at Zhouji Herbal Medicine Store, and he was placed in the branch in Fengyang County." Li said, "I heard that the nephew is very ambitious and is eyeing the position of the big shopkeeper.
?”
"Yes, there is such a thing. The second wife's nephew is called Tong Mao. He is not practical and has many evil intentions. Being a clerk is not trustworthy, let alone such an important position as the shopkeeper?" Forsythia curled her lips.
, "My maid heard that the shopkeeper Qian of Fengyang branch is also very dissatisfied with Tong Mao's work. It's just because of the second lady's face that she shouldn't be too harsh."
"My maid will inform Shopkeeper Qian right now and ask Shopkeeper Qian to take good care of Tong Mao!"
The second lady always cared about her mother's family very much, and she took great care of her nephew, her only child. She wished she could find a good way out for him, so that Tong Mao was so aggrieved that the second lady's heart must have been stabbed with a knife.
To kill a snake, you need to hit seven inches!
"No, not to clean up, but to treat him kindly, and to spread the word to the outside world that Tong Mao is diligent and capable. Shopkeeper Qian intends to train him. He also wants to recommend Tong Mao to me as the boss," said Li.
"Doing this will make the second lady even more proud?" Forsythia was puzzled.
"Proud?" Mrs. Li sneered, "The second house is eyeing the house, and the third house is not a good one either. The two houses put together have more holes than all the lotus roots at the bottom of the West Lake. None of them are fuel-efficient lamps."
"On the surface, it seems that the second and third bedrooms want to join forces to deal with my orphan and widowed mother and divide the Zhou family's business and industry, but the two families are also very smart in their calculations. If I reuse the second bedroom's people, then the third bedroom will
Fang Bing must be jumping up and down, and even trying to deal with Third Fang."
"Just wait and see when this news gets out. The third room will definitely be busy. The old lady is probably going to be even more lively. Let's watch them cause trouble."
Dog bites dog, one mouthful of hair!
Forsythia thought for a while, feeling happy in her heart, and nodded repeatedly, "Madam is right, but in the backyard of the second room, Madam also needs to add some fire. It seems that it will be Aunt Qiao's birthday in the second master's room in a few days.
Do you want me to send you some congratulatory gifts?"
The second master is greedy and has many aunts in his family, especially Aunt Qiao. She was originally from an innocent family, and she was beautiful and intelligent. Now she is pregnant again. The doctor said that she is probably a boy, and the second master loves her.
He was so incomparable that he even quarreled with his second wife many times over it.
Rumors spread among the servants in the second room that the second master intended to divorce his wife and help Aunt Qiao to take the position, which made the second lady's teeth itchy with hatred.
Now that the first lady is going to make friends with Aunt Qiao, the second lady will definitely feel as if she has been slapped in the face, only looking for Aunt Qiao and the second master to cause trouble.
If there is a fire in the backyard, the second house will also be devastated.
These people are just too busy on weekdays, and they always have some thoughts that they shouldn't have. You have to find something to occupy them!
Seeing Forsythia smiling like a little fox, most of Li's original serious expression disappeared, "You have a lot of clever ideas."
"It's not a bad idea, it's just to punish those people." Forsythia pursed her lips and smiled, "It's just that Madam can't stand those people, so don't take it too seriously, lest you hurt yourself."
"I know." Ms. Li nodded.
She has lost her husband and has only one son, Zhou Ruoyi. Now Zhou Ruoyi is young and inexperienced in the world. She needs to take the lead and handle everything properly in order to preserve Dafang's property and ensure Zhou Ruoyi's future safety and success.
.
Even if it is not for herself, even if it is for her son, she must be strong.
"The things in the shop are almost settled. I'll stay here for a while. You go back and look for the set of silver nine needles that my father gave me and my great-grandfather left behind. Pack them up and go there tomorrow.
Give it to Miss Su as a thank you for Miss Su's help today."
Mrs. Li paused and said, "When you find it, go to Yunzhi Zhai and buy some bean paste rolls to eat."
"Yes." Seeing that Madam was interested in eating sweets, Forsythia immediately felt relieved and added, "In the past few days, my servant heard that Yunzhizhai has made some taro cakes with salted egg yolk fillings. Although they look a bit strange, the taste is amazing.
It's very good. I'll buy some together, my maid, and my lady will also have a taste."
"Look, if there are new ones that you haven't seen before, buy some of them each, but remember to mainly have sweet ones."
Life is hard these days, so it’s better to eat more sweet foods.
"Yes." Forsythia responded and got busy.
The next day, Su Yujin received the silver needle from Li.
As Li said, these silver needles have a full range of types, excellent texture and craftsmanship, and feel quite good when you use them.
It was so good that Su Yujin wanted to try it.
So after seeing off Mrs. Li and Forsythia, Su Yujin called Mother Mugwort and Mother Liu to come over.
"You have nothing to do while you are idle. Why don't you let me feel your pulse to see if you have any symptoms?" Su Yujin narrowed his eyes and smiled.
"Okay." Mother Liu agreed hastily.
After all, she was of a certain age. She had worked hard for many years and had some ailments that she had acquired when she was young. She often felt uncomfortable here and itchy there.
Now the girl is willing to take a look with her, which is what she wishes for. She quickly puts her wrist on the pulse pillow in front of Su Yujin.
