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?"
Second Master Ning saw his brother-in-law and mother's expressions gloomy, looking at him with reproachful eyes, and asked aloud.
"What's wrong?"
Master 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?"
Ning Erye pushed his wife fiercely. They were the only ones who knew about this. If she hadn't said it, who else could it be?
"I didn't say that."
Mrs. Ning Er felt extremely wronged.
Ning Ruyu spoke up: "It's not what my second aunt said. I was going to go on an outing to the tea mountain today, but I found that the tea mountain had changed owners.
On the way home, I heard from the Miss Yu family that my second uncle had jointly bought jade with others half a year ago, and I realized that all our family’s money had been lost to you, my second uncle.”
Being said like this by a junior, Second Master Ning naturally felt very humiliated, and even more felt that this damn girl did not respect his second uncle.
He pointed at Ning Ruyu's nose and cursed: "You said who lost all the money at home. I lost money when I bought 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 of money?"
Mr. Ning said, "We know that business is difficult, but if you want to spend so much money 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 Master 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 family business.
Obviously, he didn't feel that he was wrong at all.
"Mother, listen, listen to what he said?"
Master Ning was furious.
Mrs. Ning closed her eyes and took a deep breath. After a moment, she opened her eyes and stared at her second son: "What?
You lost so much money, and the public only had more than two thousand taels of silver, so you didn't make any mistakes at all, right?"
"I didn't say that."
Second Master Ning muttered softly.
"Tell me, I only have two thousand taels of silver in the palace, 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 talk about dreams."
Master 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 used the money from selling tea mountains as my capital, and I have earned five yuan to earn money."
When he gets the money back, let's see if his brother still dares to look down on him.
