"...Whoever takes offense and wants to go it alone will have to pay a heavy price. Don't worry, I will guarantee her that my sister-in-law will not suffer any loss."
Cheng Xue was about to nod when she saw this, when something came from outside——
"Madam, Sister Yunyan who is beside the eldest lady is here."
"Let her in."
"Yes."
Soon, a woman in purple clothes came in with a box in her hand.
"Second madam, our madam asked her slave to deliver this. Madam said that you can tell us when you are ready to clean up the shop here, and make room at any time over there. Our madam also said that she does not have the energy to worry about the shop, so you can keep the accounts here.
It’s clear, just divide the money according to the day.”
"I know, you go down."
"Slave, please retire."
After the door was closed, Lian opened the lid. Inside the box was a stack of fifty-tael banknotes, a total of three thousand taels.
The shop adds money to show Bai's sincerity.
"Sister-in-law, are you still worried now?"
Looking at her smiling eyes, Cheng Xue slowly shook her head.
"Don't worry when the time comes, but you have to wait until you can cook the skewers, so come to the skewers."
"That's no problem. I'll inform my sister-in-law."
Lian's illness was completely cured within just two hours of Cheng Xue's arrival. She had already thought about it. Even if her husband failed the imperial examination, he would still be a candidate. In addition, she had stayed in the village.
If you know how to live a frugal life, you don’t have to worry about not having enough money after separation.
After breakfast the next day, she came to Li's house. She donated all the money to the two shops and personally took Cheng Xue to the shop to have a look. As she said, the area was not big, especially the shop in the north of the city, which was about the size of a shop.
Eighty square meters. But with a total of three floors and reasonable planning, it is enough.
Cheng Xue was thinking about how to renovate the house, while Lian went to the tenants to talk about their demolition of the house.
In a whole day, the two of them ran through all the two shops, and found all the workers who had decorated the east side of the city last time, and decided to start the work in two days. The tenant's business was not good, and now Lian asked them to start the work in two days.
Evacuating a house without having to pay back the rent will naturally run faster than a rabbit.
When she got home that day, Cheng Xue was too tired to talk. After getting off the car, she wanted to go back to the house to rest. She was startled when she saw the person who came to pick her up, and then cheered up.
"Are we here? It's pretty fast!"
Li Zhong lifted his robe and knelt down. When he was about to kowtow, he was stopped by Cheng Xue——
"Get up quickly. I'm exhausted from all the hard work. Let's wait for the master to come back and salute together. How did you get here before?"
"Reply to Madam, half an hour ago."
After Li Zhong finished speaking, he insisted on saluting, then stood up and followed him into the hospital.
"Madam, I am very happy. Dongzicai has made a lot of money, which is enough for you to repay the money you owe to buy the house."
Today she took Bai Qian out and left Bai Shao at home. She knew everything about the situation at home, so naturally she told her father as soon as she saw him.
Cheng Xue breathed a sigh of relief and said happily:
"Okay, with you two helping me, I have no worries. How is everything at home? How is Yu Zhao's family? Are there any troublemakers in the village? It's cloudy and rainy. Does your wife's knee still hurt?" "Mrs. Lao is concerned that my daughter-in-law has used the recipe you left and her knee has completely healed. My uncle's family is very good. My uncle's wife has become pregnant and her family has purchased another twenty acres of land after the new year. My uncle is at the forest farm.
Being reused, he has become a second-in-command."
The two of them walked and talked, and when they came to the outside of the main house, Bai Shao had already prepared dinner.
Cheng Xue sat down to have dinner, and Li Zhong continued to report on the situation in the village.
"As usual, the village is busy with spring plowing at this time. The Dong family, the Guo family, and the Li Zheng family all went to the town to buy farm tools for our family. Although they are expensive, they can save trouble when farming, and the money is enough.
It's worth the money. Mrs. Geng disciplines Di Geer every day, and that boy looks sensible..."
There were only three of them in the house, and none of the Li Yue siblings came over. The children were sensible and knew that people were coming from their hometown. The adults had many questions to ask, so they didn't come over to cause trouble. Li Zhong knew what she cared about, so those few
I have a good relationship with each other, and everything that happened in the family after the New Year was told in detail.
"... I told them in advance that I was going to Beijing. Dong Cheng's wife and the others have brought a lot of things to you and even written you a letter."
"Madam, everything is in the kitchen, and the letter and banknotes are on your desk."
"I got it." Cheng Xue put down the bowl and chopsticks, "Let Bai Zhi clean up here later. You go and call Gastrodia and Baizhi, and have a good chat with your father. We don't need you three to be on duty tonight. Tiandong goes with the master.
We are at the patrol camp, and I will probably be able to come back the day after tomorrow, but you will only meet for a short time, and he has to accompany the master to the palace to participate in the imperial examination."
Li Zhong cupped his fists and raised his hands, and said with some excitement:
"It is a blessing for the child to win the favor of the wife. If the wife is not tired, I would like to explain the accounts to you today."
"Don't worry, you're not leaving tomorrow. It's not too late to talk about tomorrow. Go and rest. I'll see for myself first."
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Li Zhong no longer insisted, and left with his daughter after bowing.
After a while, Bai Zian entered the room, put away the bowls and chopsticks on the table, curtsied and saluted——
"Ma'am, do you want to take a shower now?"
"Don't worry, I'll wait for you later."
"Yes."
The door closed again, Cheng Xue stood up and came to the desk. The letter and the box were placed side by side on the table.
She read the letter first, but she didn't expect it to be from the Dong Xu family. When she looked at the order below, she immediately understood that Bai Shao had done it deliberately. She put the sisters-in-law she cared about in the front, and in the middle were Jiang Jianye, Li Qingchun and others.
The last letter is from Yu Zhao.
This is family, she has to look at it slowly and carefully.
Dong Cheng's daughter can hold things and walk, but Shuanzi has no interest in studying, but is particularly enthusiastic about martial arts. Every day, she pesters the martial arts master in the school to help him start a small stove. Xu wrote a letter asking Li Heng to help persuade him.
Don't let him join the army. When Cheng Xue saw this, she couldn't help shaking her head and asked Li Heng to persuade him? It would be fine if he didn't join the army, so how could he help persuade him?
Mrs. Guo Yang's letter was as usual. She first thanked the couple for their help, then expressed her loyalty and would take care of the workshop, etc., and finally talked about her children. Li Zhong mentioned Nianzi just now. That boy is smart and knows how to get into trouble.
Now he is responsible for all communication between the town and the county.
Mian Ni and Yun Ni are very sensible and help her clean the house every day, sew and mend, wash and cook. The two of them still have some accounts, but according to the original plan, it has shrunk a lot. I want to come here
For a period of time, the Guo family has been working together to save money in order to pay off the debt.
After reading the hearts of Jiang Jianye, Geng and others, it was finally Yu Zhao's turn.
The beginning of the letter focused on Yujiatun. Yu Chang has completed the construction of the mountain this year and is preparing to transplant fruit trees for canning. The Yu Huai couple are in good health. There has been no letter from Yu Xuan. The couple bought two more plants this year.
