When Mr. Ning saw that his brother, sister-in-law and mother were all there, he burped again, clasped his hands and saluted: "Mother, brother, sister-in-law."
Ning Ruyu did not stand up and salute her second uncle. Such a second uncle was not worthy of receiving her courtesy.
"What's wrong with you?" Mr. Ning asked aloud when he saw his brother-in-law and mother's expressions were gloomy and they looked at him with reproachful eyes.
"What's wrong?" Mr. Ning's eyes widened and he pointed at him and said, "You have the nerve to ask us what's wrong? Don't you know what you did?"
This was the first time that Mr. Ning was treated so harshly by his elder brother. He immediately woke up from the wine, and when he glanced at the pile of account books piled on the table, he understood everything.
It seems that the family members knew that it was his jade that had embezzled the public money.
"Did you say that?" Mr. Ning pushed his wife fiercely. Only the two of them knew about this. If she hadn't said it, who else could it be?
"I didn't say that." Mrs. Ning Er felt extremely aggrieved.
Ning Ruyu said loudly: "It's not what my second aunt said. I was going to go for an outing in the tea mountain today, but I found out that the tea mountain has changed owners. On the way home, I heard from Miss Yu that my second uncle co-purchased jade with others half a year ago.
Only then did I realize that all our family’s money was lost to you, my second uncle.”
Being said like this by a junior, Mr. Ning naturally felt very embarrassed and felt that this damn girl did not respect his second uncle. He pointed at Ning Ruyu's nose and cursed: "Who do you think has lost all the money in the family?
I lost money when I bought the jade, but I also did it to earn more money for my family."
"Do you know how difficult it is to do business now? Few of our shops are profitable, and other shops have to pay monthly."
"Is fifty thousand taels of silver a small amount?" Master Ning said, "We know that business is not easy to do, but if you want to use so much silver to buy jade, shouldn't you discuss it with us first?"
Mr. Ning was unconvinced and said: "You guys in the big house know how to enjoy themselves. When have you ever asked about business matters? You don't care, so why should I discuss it with you?"
He is in charge of everything in this business, so he can make the decision without having to discuss it with anyone.
Both Mr. Ning and Mrs. Ning rolled their eyes in anger. It was clear that he had lost all the money in the family, but they blamed their eldest brother for only enjoying themselves and not caring about the business at home. Obviously, he didn't feel that he had done anything at all.
wrong.
"Mother, listen, listen to what he said?" Mr. Ning was furious.
Mrs. Ning closed her eyes and took a deep breath. After a moment, she opened her eyes and glared at her second son and said, "What? You lost so much money that the father-in-law only had more than two thousand taels of silver. It's not even a mistake."
It’s gone, right?”
"I didn't say that." Mr. Ning muttered softly.
"Tell me, my father-in-law only has two thousand taels of silver. What can I do with these two thousand taels of silver? Next month, everyone in this house will not be able to pay their monthly salary." Mrs. Ning patted the handle of the chair and said.
.
Of course, this is not possible. Even if the father-in-law loses his money, Mrs. Ning and Mrs. Ning still have some money on their hands.
Ning Erye said: "Don't worry, mother, I will make back the lost money in a few days."
"Idiots are talking about dreams." Mr. Ning snorted coldly.
What business can earn fifty thousand taels of silver in just a few days?
"When I get the money home, my brother will know if I am just dreaming. By the way, I have already made money by selling money from tea mountains and earned five yuan to make money." When he got the money back,
Let’s see if his brother dares to look down on him.
