"This is a good idea." Everyone nodded and looked at the Spring Equinox.
Let Chu Run take a look at it first, which can also prevent them from taking too many wrong decisions.
Even though they were all servants, they were used to being pampered in the Chu family and traveling with carriages. They had to walk such a long distance in one go. If Shi Chunfen hadn't taken the lead and followed them, they would have scolded her in their hearts.
Seeing everyone's longing eyes, Shi Chunfen burst into laughter. In fact, it was quite painful for her to leave. It would be great if Chu Run was willing to do it for her.
"But won't this be too much trouble for the fourth master?" After all, he is still a young master, and he always feels guilty when he wakes up.
"No trouble." Chu Run smiled faintly. He was originally sent by the old lady to help. Moreover, now that Shichun broke up the business, he can get 10% of the profit, so he should contribute a little, "It's just this.
Come on, you'd better stay in the inn and stop running around while I'm away." Otherwise, if something happens, it will be quite troublesome for him to find them if they are unfamiliar with the place in Shuzhou.
Shi Chunfen quickly agreed, "Don't worry, our feet are covered with blisters now, and we don't have the strength to run around."
"That's good." Yu Atu laughed, "Then we can rest peacefully in the inn and leave everything to Arun."
She said it so naturally that Shi Chunquin couldn't help but look at her one more time.
Yu Atu felt so sorry for Chu Run on weekdays, fearing that he would suffer a little loss. Why did she offer him to do something this time, while they stayed at the inn to enjoy the benefits?
Emotionally she told her not to think too badly of Yu Atu's good intentions, but her rationality told her that Yu Atu didn't have that much good intentions, and even if she did... it must have been mixed with other purposes.
After a brief exchange of greetings, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. Shichun Equinox had just sat down and before she had time to wash up, there was a knock on the door outside the house. It turned out that Yu Atu had sent someone to bring her medicine to treat blisters.
If Yu Atu cared about her so much in the past, she would have been very touched.
But after experiencing so many things, facing Yu Atu's overtures, she just felt weird in her heart.
"Grandma, do you want me to help you apply medicine?"
Li Yan took the medicine powder sent by Yu Atu and took the initiative to ask Shi Chunquin.
Shi Chunfen glanced at the medicinal powder and quickly shook his head, "Forget it, put it away. You can heal yourself if the blisters pop."
These words made it clear that she didn't trust Yu Atu, so Li Yan raised her eyebrows lightly and quickly put the powder away without saying anything else.
Shi Chunquin watched her movements silently and couldn't help but said: "What do you think Usagi is planning?"
On a rare occasion, Spring Equinox took the initiative to ask her opinion. Li Yan turned around and said seriously: "I don't think she would murder grandma's life, but she might deliberately mess up grandma's business."
"Oh?" Shi Chunquin didn't expect this, "How do you say this?"
"Before grandma officially takes the position of head of the family, every young mistress of the Chu family may take on this important responsibility. If she also covets the position of head of the family, then everything will become reasonable and reasonable by destroying grandma's business and trying to gain performance for the fourth master.
." Li Yan analyzed.
"Head of the family?" Chun Equinox's expression became complicated.
Before she even thought about fighting for this position for herself, was Yu Atu already planning ahead?
In fact, if you think about it, after Yu Atu and Chu Run got married, the two sisters had no other conflicts. Apart from the conflict of interests of the Chu family, Yu Atu had no other reason to embarrass her. Li Yan's analysis was indeed very reasonable.
.
Seeing her silence, Li Yan took the initiative and said, "What do you think, grandma? Are you really not interested at all in being the head of the family?"
Shi Chunfen knew that she was here to inquire about his feelings on behalf of the old lady, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "It would be a lie to say that you are not moved. Who wouldn't want to be a woman like my grandmother?"
One person supports a family, and at this age he is still energetic and strategizing.
This is the person she dreams of becoming, but she doesn’t know if she has such ability...
Li Yan understood what she meant and said with a smile: "Since you want to give it a try, don't back down. Grandma is the legitimate eldest daughter-in-law. Her status alone already has an advantage over others. As long as you don't give in, everyone will take it."
Don’t take away what is rightfully yours.”
"Is that so?" Shi Chunfen looked confused.
She finds it difficult to even open an additional branch. Is she really capable of taking over the entire Chu family's business?
Seeing her lack of confidence, Li Yan quickly said: "Actually, even if grandma fails to become the head of the family, in terms of seniority, it is not the fourth young grandma's turn."
On the surface, this is a dispute between Shi Chunfen and Yu Atu. In fact, it is just a dispute between the first house and the second house. The second house is now so weak that it is extremely difficult to get the real power back from the old lady.
Shi Chunfen was stunned for a moment, then his mind quickly came to his senses, "So, if I can't do it, the position of head of the Chu family will most likely be passed on to Xiaoman?"
At this moment, the thought that Ji Xiaoman was indeed more suitable than her flashed through her mind.
Regardless of appearance, intelligence and virtue, she felt that Ji Xiaoman was above her. If she could leave it to Ji Xiaoman, it seemed to be a good choice.
Seeing how naive she was, Li Yan shook her head helplessly, "I'm afraid it may not be the Second Young Mistress, but like the eldest master... who handed over all the matters that should have been handled by the Huating County Master to Aunt Liu."
When these words came out, Shi Chunfen's brain suddenly exploded.
Yes, why did she forget that she would never be the only woman with an outstanding son like Chu Ling?
It seems fair to let other women do what she can't do...
But why...she felt uncomfortable all of a sudden?
Seeing that her face fell, Li Yan observed her for a while and then cautiously said, "Actually, grandma, you have made a lot of progress compared to before. As long as you can keep it up, I think you will be the master of the matter... just around the corner."
"Really?" Shi Chunquin tugged at his lips and smiled very reluctantly.
If Li Yan knew that she had secretly sent someone to rescue Hong Xing, I wonder if she would still think so.
She always dreamed of becoming someone like the old lady, but she would never be able to do it just because she was ruthless.
——
A sleepless night.
When Chu Run got up at the vernal equinox the next morning, Chu Run was preparing to set off to select a store. The two met in the lobby of the inn, while Yu Atu, Shi Cui and others were still sleeping with their heads covered and did not wake up.
As if he didn't expect her to wake up so early, Chu Run came up to him with a surprised look on his face, "Why don't you sleep a little longer, sister-in-law in the lobby?"
It was rare that he didn't have to go out, so he thought he would sleep until very late like everyone else.
