Ever since it was known that the crisis at Li's rice shop was due to the threat the Li family had made to Lin Zhu, not only Li Dabai but also Dong Jisheng became very worried.
"Brother Dong Xian, I really can't bear to apologize to a cheap country girl. Do you think there is any better way?" Li Dabo sighed in Dong Jisheng's study.
"Is face more important or business?" Dong Jisheng saw that he was so arrogant and looked like he hated iron. Logically speaking, Dong Jisheng should call Li Dabo his brother-in-law, but the Liu family was promoted from concubine to equal wife, so Li Dabo
You can't afford to be his brother-in-law. "When your business recovers, your face will come back. Do I need to say this?"
"Oh, I don't know this truth. It's just that now that girl uses the excuse of being busy during the New Year to avoid seeing the people I sent there. She, she is too shameless." Li Dabai said bitterly.
Dong Jisheng rolled his eyes at him. What do you mean by being shameless? You offended everyone so much. First you looked down on them, and then you wanted to frame them after being dumped. No one else would pay attention to you. But of course you can't say anything.
Say this, "I think you should be more sincere and go there in person."
"She alone deserves me to visit her personally?" After all, Li Dabai still refused to admit his mistake and had no sincerity in apologizing to others. Of course, Lin Zhu would not give him a good face.
"Aren't you afraid that your business will never recover? Just keep closing down?" Dong Jisheng asked.
"Of course not." Li Dabai became anxious as soon as he heard this, thinking that business cannot fail. When he said this, he suddenly gave Dong Jisheng a flattering smile on his face and said, "This still needs your help, Brother Dong Xian."
"Me?" Dong Jisheng raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a somewhat unkind look, "Do you want this county magistrate to bow his head to a country girl?" Dong Jisheng said to himself, Li Dabai, Li Dabai, you are too courageous.
What a sin you have committed, you actually want this magistrate to wipe your ass. You must be the most shameless person.
"Of course not. Don't get me wrong." Li Dabai shook his head and waved his hands, fearing that Dong Jisheng would be unhappy and kick him out and stop helping him. "I mean, your eldest daughter is not friends with that country girl.
Well, let her talk and make peace, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"
Li Dabai's calculations were very precise, but the reality was very harsh. Ever since Dong Jisheng grounded Dong Yuzhen for no reason, he had never seen her again. Mrs. Lin was becoming more and more cold-hearted towards Dong Jisheng, and she knew the truth.
Dong Wenbo is also very disappointed with Dong Jisheng. Nowadays, husband and wife, father and son are like strangers when they meet. It is more difficult for Dong Jisheng to bow his head to beg his daughter than for Li Dabai to apologize to Lin Zhu.
Dong Jisheng looked troubled. He really couldn't talk to Dong Yuzhen about this.
"Brother Dong Xian, it's the end of the year and you have to move up again. But looking at my current situation, I may not be able to help you any more." Li Dabai saw Dong Jisheng's unwillingness and tried hard on his weakness.
.
Now the problem has turned to Dong Jisheng. Is face or future more important? There is no doubt about it. Of course it is future. But the relationship between Dong Jisheng and Mrs. Lin has dropped to a freezing point, but begging her is more uncomfortable than slapping him twice in public.
Having Dong Yuzhen as the intermediary to negotiate peace is indeed the best choice. Dong Jisheng can get a lot of benefits from Li Dabai, and he has expressed his attitude to Muyue Trading Company, and Lin Zhu will not be resentful towards him.
It's all done in one fell swoop. The only difficult thing is how to convince Mrs. Lin? Should I give her the power of housekeeping again?
But the Liu family is not easy to get along with. The back and forth of housekeeping power between the two ladies is a joke to the servants in the family. Moreover, Dong Jisheng also needs the help of the Liu family. Liu must not be offended at this time.
Shi was not happy.
After thinking about it, Dong Jisheng felt that it would be easier to persuade Dong Yuzhen. This eldest daughter always wanted to get his attention, so if he said a few nice words to her, he should be able to achieve his goal easily.
So for the sake of his future, Dong Jisheng had to go to Dong Yuzhen's yard.
Since Mrs. Lin learned about the accident at Li's rice shop, she understood that Lin Zhu had also taken action, so her daughter's unjust injustice should be compensated soon. But looking at her daughter's increasingly thin body, Mrs. Lin felt that
Dong Jisheng could be said to be gnashing his teeth in hatred.
She told Dong Yuzhen about Li Ji Mipu, "Zhen'er, I think it won't be long before they think that Mu Yue Merchant took action to teach them a lesson because he vented his anger on Miss Lin Zhu." Dong Yuzhen looked at Mrs. Lin, confused.
What she meant when she said this was for
She also had no favorable impressions of the Li family. The Li family and the Liu family were in the same boat. When Dong Yuyao and the girls from the Li family teased her for having acne on her face, she finally calmed down when she saw how unlucky the Li family was. "Mom,
What does this have to do with us?"
"What does it matter?" Mrs. Lin said with disdain, "Your father, who is most important to the future, might not come to beg you?" Mrs. Lin now has no good feelings towards Dong Jisheng, so she can keep her anger at bay.
Dong Yuzhen felt so embarrassed for such a father who had exposed his innocent daughter but did not feel guilty at all afterwards and never visited his daughter once.
"Begging me?" Dong Yuzhen thought for a while and understood, "Do they want me to go to Sister Xiaozhu to intercede?"
"How could that man Li Dabai bow down to Miss Lin Zhu so easily? They also know that you are on good terms with her, so it will be easier to find you." Mrs. Lin's tone was full of contempt.
"I won't go. The Li family treated Sister Xiaozhu too much and deserved to be punished. Whoever made them look down on others first and then sent people to cause trouble for the crops deserves to be so unlucky." Dong Yuzhen was very unhappy about the Li family's experience.
It's schadenfreude.
Dong Jisheng was in Mrs. Liu's room that day, sitting a little depressed.
"Sir, please have some tea." Ms. Liu walked up to Dong Jisheng's side and gently put down a cup of tea. "It's really hard, sir. You have worked so hard for our family."
"You are still the most considerate." Liu's comfort was a timely gift for Dong Jisheng, which temporarily relieved the depression in his heart.
"Let me tell you, this matter is actually quite simple." Ms. Liu stood behind Dong Jisheng and gently squeezed his shoulder.
"Tell me about a simple method." Dong Jisheng, who was worried about how to ask Dong Yuzhen for help, asked expectantly after hearing Liu's words.
"The eldest lady is the master's daughter. It is only natural that this daughter solves his father's problems. There is no need for the master to be so upset." Ms. Liu didn't care whether Dong Yuzhen had been wronged before. This was related to the wealth of her sister's family, so she asked Dong Yuzhen to ask Lin.
In her opinion, bamboo is exactly what it should be.
"You're right. What other reason would there be for a daughter to do things for her father?" Dong Jisheng suddenly felt that he was just asking for trouble. It was a simple matter. "What should I do without you?
"Dong Jisheng patted Mrs. Liu's hand on his shoulder and sighed.
"Of course, Master, if Yao'er can help you, I am also willing to let Yao'er come forward. I think my sister and I have the same idea." Mrs. Liu dragged Mrs. Lin into the water. Mrs. Lin was sure
Looking at their jokes, as long as it can cause trouble for Mr. Lin, Ms. Liu will definitely spare no effort to do it.
"Humph, if she was as considerate of me as you are, I wouldn't treat her like this." Thinking of Mrs. Lin's attitude towards him recently, Dong Jisheng was also very unhappy. "If she knew better, I would have to compensate them mother and daughter."
Some, if you don’t understand, hum.”
"Does the master want to give the housekeeper's rights to my sister again?" Ms. Liu clenched her fists, with infinite grievance in her voice. "If you do this, how can I hold my head high in this house?"
"Don't worry," Dong Jisheng comforted Mrs. Liu, "No one dares to look down on you, and you will always be in charge of the house. Master, who else can I trust to leave this backyard to you besides you?"
"Master!" Liu's sweet voice was next to his ear and passed into Dong Jisheng's ears, and a tingling feeling spread throughout his body. "I will definitely live up to the high expectations of the master."
Dong Jisheng, who had been teased by Liu's words and was a little restless, could no longer suppress his excitement when he heard her voice. He hugged her slender waist tightly and walked towards the inner room.
The next day, Dong Jisheng walked to Mrs. Lin's courtyard with great satisfaction. After a night of tenderness and soft-spoken comfort with Mrs. Liu, Dong Jisheng felt that it was an easy request to ask Dong Yuzhen to help him find Lin Zhu to make peace.
.
"Madam, the master is here." Mrs. Lin, who was having a meal, wrinkled her brows when she heard the servant's words. She naturally knew why Dong Jisheng came, but what she didn't expect was that he came over so easily.
.
"Master, please sit down in the flower hall first, and tell me I'll be there in a moment." Mrs. Lin waved her sleeves and sent the visitor down.
After that, she started eating slowly again. "Madam, aren't you going to see the master?" Zhao's mother asked softly beside her.
"Let him wait first." Mrs. Lin said without raising her head, "I know exactly why he came. I just don't know if he knows what to do."
Mother Zhao really didn't understand what Mrs. Lin was trying to do, but these were not things she, a servant, should ask about, so she had no choice but to accompany her.
Dong Jisheng, who was sitting in the flower hall waiting, was very leisurely at first, but time passed little by little, and Mrs. Lin didn't appear yet. He started to get a little annoyed, and secretly hated Mrs. Lin for taking Qiao for a while, but there was nothing he could do.
How about calling him the one who is wronged?
So he could only be patient and wait anxiously in the flower hall.
It was almost time to meet Mrs. Lin, and it was time to meet Dong Jisheng, so accompanied by Zhao’s mother, she got up and walked to the flower hall. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation.
