Chapter 831
Mrs. Zou didn't ask anything, and the second lady complained to her that she didn't get angry, thinking that she believed her words: "That girl is dumb and stupid, and she can't speak clearly. !"
The second lady thought about the top-quality Tian Huangshi and the top-quality suet white jade inlaid gold lock with precious stones, she couldn't help biting her teeth and said, "I can't believe that Si Xing is also a scheming person, and he has hidden such a good thing. !"
Mrs. Zou was stunned for a moment, before she realized what the second lady meant.
"Mother-in-law is saying that the stone and the gold inlaid jade belong to the third brother?"
"Humph!" The second lady sneered, and said angrily, "Why don't you ask? Can that family from the countryside afford such expensive things? Didn't you hear Shenyi Xue and Madam Zhang say that? What a good thing! In my opinion, it must be Si Xing's trophy from the previous years. He secretly concealed it and handed it over to Lian Fangzhou after getting married. Lian Fangzhou just took it out to show face to her parents' brothers and sisters! This is it. , the wool comes from the sheep, and it is her own thing!"
Zou nodded again and again and said, "Mother-in-law is absolutely right! I think it must be like this! The third brother is so selfish, I didn't expect him to be such a person!"
"That's why it's said that you know the person, know the face, but don't know the heart!" The second lady said angrily.
As long as she thought that because of Li Fu's selfishness, she missed such a good thing, she was full of anger. I was thinking secretly in my heart how to think of a way to get these things over.
In addition to those two pieces, I'm afraid there are other more valuable good things!
As for whether these things should be hers, the second lady never thought about it.
However, today's Li Fu is no longer the Li Fu who never cared about everything in the past. In other words, he already has a wife who is in charge of affairs. Those two couples are both indestructible characters. How can they remember their uncles and aunts when they make a fortune? I'm afraid it's not easy to ask for something from them!
The second lady thought about it and thought about ten ways, but found that none of them worked!
However, she was not willing to let her give up.
The second lady was so suffocated by this matter that she couldn't help but complained to the second master, implying that the second master would help her think of a way.
Who knows, before she finished speaking, she was scolded by the second master, and then warned her not to kill herself!
Those couples are not good people to mess with.
The second lady was extremely depressed after being scolded, and said angrily: "I'm not doing it for the good of this family? Our family has a lot of expenses. You three don't talk about supporting the family. Hmph, with that little salary, you invite people to eat and drink outside. It's not enough! There are only two small villages in the suburbs, with a total of less than 500 acres of land, and they barely provide a bowl of rice all day long, enough to pay the next people's monthly money, and enough to buy oil, salt, sauce and vinegar! Those three silk and satin The location of the shop is not good, and the business is difficult. After a year, I only earn two or three thousand taels of silver. What can I do? How can this family do not need money for food, clothing, and personal exchanges? It’s enough to pay off the savings you’ve accumulated, but you have to make a long-term plan, right? After Si Xing moves out, his share of money will be cut off, so you can just sit back and beg for food one day!
As soon as he spoke, the second master was also upset, frowning tightly.
In fact, he and his two sons are not officials at all, but seeing Li Fu's father and son's face being able to enter the office one after another, how can it be so easy to want to go a step further?
If they are honest people and go back to the countryside to live in peace, they will definitely be able to live very well and comfortably, but they are blinded by the prosperity of the capital, how can they be willing to leave?
The second lady hummed again: "It's not a problem after that, but before Si Xing he clearly lived with us, his sister-in-law, nephew, and Qin Ya are all raised and taken care of by us, how could he hide it? Let's get rid of our property! Those things should be ours in the first place! If you have those rare and precious good things, let's not talk about selling them to survive, wouldn't it be rare for the three of you to give gifts? It's better to go further No? There is also a daughter's dowry, wouldn't it look better if you add a few more?"
The second master couldn't help but be moved, but when he thought of Lian Fangzhou's desolate description, he immediately poured a basin of cold water on his head, and said coldly with a sullen face: "Okay! Have you said enough? Stop me if you have said enough. You still dare to make up your mind? You don't even think about it, if Si Xing is serious about making an account with us, would you dare to settle it with him?"
The second lady's face turned pale, not to mention anything else, just talking about the court's reward after Li Fu's disappearance, that is--
"Si Xing, Si Xing won't! He's not that stingy!" The second lady said unwillingly.
The second master sneered and said, "He's not, where's his wife? Where's Lian Fangzhou? You have to suffer a few losses before you can learn a lesson!"
The second lady was stagnant and hated.
Lian Fangzhou is that Lian Fangzhou!
Damn it! A country woman, how could Si Xing be so fascinated by her!
The second lady was speechless and snorted coldly: "Since you have said that, what else can I say? But money is waiting everywhere, is it really possible to sit and eat? I don't care, you can think of a way. There must be more income in the family!"
The second master was speechless for a while.
He is the head of the family. For the sake of the second lady's words, if he doesn't say anything at all, the head of the family is too cowardly.
However, not everyone can do business.
The Tao of Confucius and Mencius is not much higher than the Tao of business management, nor is it a golden key to everything.
What's more, after living in the capital year after year for so many years, the second master has long held himself high, how can he condescend to go down and talk about business?
He pondered for a moment, and then said: "Look at how much money is left in your hand, and inquire about good fields to buy more! This is the foundational industry that will remain unchanged for thousands of years! Holding it in your hand, it will never break, and your heart will be at ease. some."
The second lady snorted and turned her head away.
In Li's house, when he went to bed at night, Lian Fangzhou took what Lian Fangqing told her and told Li Fu as a joke.
Li Fu hugged her and leaned against the head of the bed, his arms stiffened, and sighed, "They really—what does this have to do with them!"
Lian Fangzhou smiled slyly, tilted his head to look at him, and said with a smile, "Did you only think of this? Didn't you think of anything else?"
"Others?" Li Fu was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "You know that my mind is slow, tell me, is there something else out there?"
