Aunt Chen came here just to criticize the account book. Firstly, she wanted Qi Xiaomei to recognize the fact that she couldn't manage the house and quit. Secondly, she also wanted Mrs. Zhou to see clearly what she was capable of and take over the backyard.
Zhang is from a wealthy family and will not be suspended. This grounding will definitely last for several years.
During the days when she was locked up, Mrs. Zhou had to take care of such a huge mansion, so she would definitely not keep meddling in her son's backyard. She would definitely have to choose someone to take care of it... Aunt Chen looked around and felt that she was the most suitable candidate.
.
What does it mean to steal the ledger back?
If Mrs. Zhou really found out, it would definitely be her fault again.
"I'll help you quietly. As long as you don't tell anyone, no one will know."
"I dare not trouble you." Chu Yunli waved his hand: "There are many capable people in this world, and those two women are very good. How can I let you do the work of a servant? I have always recognized it.
You should be aware of your duty. Although I now have the son of a young master, you entered the palace before me, so I have to respect you..."
Aunt Chen: "..." So angry!
For a moment, she couldn't figure out whether the Aunt Qi in front of her was really stupid or pretending to be stupid. Let's say she was fake. This sentence could choke people to death. It didn't look like she was really stupid.
Finally, she walked away.
Chu Yunli snorted coldly.
Whether she was really Qi Xiaomei or not, she just looked at the account books of Zhou Yilin's courtyard, and she didn't bother at all.
For the next few days, there was no traffic in the yard, and people often came to visit. Fortunately, they were not looking for trouble. Most of them just wanted to get acquainted with Chu Yunli.
It is worth mentioning that Zhou Yilin seemed to be completely annoyed by Aunt Yao and moved her out.
Chu Yunli slept a lot during the day because she had to be busy at night. In the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed. Qi Xiaotao's symptoms improved, and her skin became much rosier. She probably also realized that her condition was not as good as
It was serious before, but with the possibility of recovery, both of her faces were glowing, and they were no longer lifeless like before.
However, the two sisters never met each other, and Qi Xiaotao was a little worried about her sister.
Fortunately, her sister is not an unknown person in the house now. Qi Xiaotao can get the news about her by just asking.
Hearing that her sister was in charge of the eldest son's backyard and that everyone from top to bottom was fawning over her, Qi Xiaotao was in a daze for a moment. Is this really her timid and well-behaved sister?
Qi Xiaotao sometimes gets confused by the small talk of a few maids in the courtyard. There are too many twists and turns. One sentence can have several meanings if you think about it carefully.
She wanted to meet her sister, but she never had the chance. She didn't dare to let her maid deliver the message for fear of causing trouble to others.
A few days later, Qi Xiaotao's symptoms completely improved and her body became much lighter than before.
Zhou Yilin had previously promised that as long as the two sisters did not meet, he would find a specialized doctor to treat her.
Qi Xiaotao did not take the doctor's medicine, but her pulse was checked every day.
The doctor thought it was a dream that she could get better so quickly. He really didn't think his prescription was very clever. He had treated others in this way before, but it could only alleviate the condition but not cure it... After thinking about it,
, in the end it can only be attributed to Qi Xiaotao's body being different from ordinary people.
It was a great thing that such a serious disease was cured. The doctor couldn't wait to tell Zhou Yilin about it.
Zhou Yilin was also surprised: "Didn't you say that the disease can't be cured?"
The doctor was very happy. Even if it was a coincidence, he was the one who cured it. This cured one person, and the second person should not be far away. He said happily: "Maybe there is something different about Miss Xiao Tao's body, and she herself is still
Self-discipline, abstain from talking and sex..."
At this point, the doctor felt a little embarrassed and coughed lightly: "I'll take the medicine for a few more days to consolidate it, and I'll be able to stop taking it later."
Zhou Yilin still attached great importance to the only woman who successfully gave birth to his son. When he learned that Qi Xiaotao's condition had improved, he was surprised and felt that this should make Aunt Qi happy. He arrived at Chu Yunli's yard that day.
Chu Yunli was actually the first to know that the person had recovered, but she still pretended to be a little surprised: "Thank you, sir."
Zhou Yilin waved his hand: "You're welcome. If you are really grateful, please help me take good care of Brother Hua. By the way, your sister was sick earlier and you were worried, so I took her back. Now that she has
She has recovered and it is not suitable to stay in the house. You two sisters will meet her later and then I will send her away."
After he said the words, he felt that he was too cold, and emphasized: "There are rules in our house. Madam's serious mother-in-law can stay here. You..."
The words were not finished, but the meaning was already clear.
"I understand. I am already very grateful that the master can bring my sister in and ask a doctor to treat her illness. I dare not ask for anything else." Chu Yunli said very politely: "I will go to see my sister later, and then follow
She made it clear that she will be moved out within two days."
Zhou Yilin thought she was going to mess around, but he agreed as soon as he saw her, and was very satisfied with her knowledge: "I'll stay for dinner later."
He no longer stays overnight. If he doesn't come over often, everyone will think that she has fallen out of favor, and he will not be good to her or the children.
Chu Yunli asked people to prepare food. While eating, she tentatively mentioned: "My sister is not a kind person. To put it harshly, she was sold by my father and brother for money. Her husband's family
If she can't go back, she will probably have to live in this city for a long time... She is a woman, and I don't worry about going out to work. I just want to buy her a house and find a shop for her to do business... Just support herself.
, I also want to find something for her to do. When this person has a career, she has the desire to live. After all, the things she encountered, I am afraid that no one would want to live. I have this sister.
, I hope the young master can fulfill his wish."
Zhou Yilin thought thoughtfully: "You want to ask me for money?"
"No need." Chu Yunli said immediately: "I still keep the rewards you gave me earlier."
When she was pregnant, Zhou Yilin gave her fifty taels so that she could have money on hand so that she could take good care of herself. But Chu Yunli had no requirements for food and clothing, so the money was never spent. During the pregnancy, Zhou Yilin
She often sent things here, and later she gave birth to the child successfully. Zhou Yilin was happy and gave another reward. Later, Xi San and Man Yue also gave it. A few days ago, Aunt Yu's child was gone, and he and Chu Yunli had a bad time.
But I still got another ten taels of silver handed over. Mrs. Zhou gave about the same amount.
Added up before and after, there are more than one hundred and sixty taels...
This much money was enough to choose a house and shop in a better place in the outer city. Chu Yunli settled people outside the Yamen at that time, which was just a temporary measure.
Zhou Yilin looked at her deeply: "Since it is your own money, there is no need to mention it to me."
Chu Yunli helped him fill a bowl of soup: "Concubine cannot have private property in her name..." Otherwise, she would have bought it long ago.
"That's for your sister!" After Zhou Yilin finished drinking the soup, he felt that the two sisters were really suffering, and said: "I will help you pay attention to the house and shop, so you don't have to worry too much."
This was an unexpected surprise.
No matter how capable Chu Yunli is, he has to admit that today's Qi Xiaomei's status is indeed not high. It is easy to be deceived when she goes out, and it is not that easy to find the right one. It is different when Zhou Yilin comes forward. With one word from him, there are many
It’s people who are willing to take the trouble.
Sure enough, the next morning, Zhou Yilin's entourage delivered two land deeds.
The house is close to the street in the inner city, and the shop is in the bustling area of the outer city. These two places are very safe and usually nothing happens. It coincides with Chu Yunli's previous plan.
Or Qi Xiaomei was unwilling to be a concubine at first, but later she felt that she had met her lover. If Zhou Yilin really wants to please someone, he can really warm people's hearts.
Chu Yunli took the two land deeds and went to Qi Xiaotao.
Qi Xiaotao had been eating and sleeping in the house these days, feeling like a pig. When she saw her sister coming, she realized she had found something to do, and hurriedly got up and came forward.
"Why are you here again?"
Even though they were in the same house, Qi Xiaotao was still cautious, fearing that her sister would be scolded if she came over frequently.
"You keep this thing."
Qi Xiaotao is illiterate, but she has seen land deeds in the town for several years. She was surprised: "Where does this come from? Whose family does it belong to?"
Chu Yunli pointed to the name of the owner of the land deed: "This is yours."
Qi Xiaotao was stunned. When she realized what she was doing, her face was full of panic: "Where did you come from?"
Chu Yunli put the land deed in her hand: "I bought it and it was written in your name. This will be your home from now on. That shop is the capital for you to live and settle down. If you don't want to do business, you can rent it out. Every day
Living on rent every month is enough as long as you don't squander it."
None of this matters, what matters is that this thing is hot!
Qi Xiaotao was a little afraid to take it, and her hands began to tremble: "You...how can you save so much money as a concubine?"
In such a good location, the money may not be enough. But since Zhou Yilin gave it to her, he probably wouldn't ask her for money.
Chu Yunli emphasized: "Just keep it and don't worry about anything else."
How dare Qi Xiaotao accept it?
Chu Yunli pressed the land deed into her palm and said: "Concubines cannot have private property in their name. No matter how much money I have in my hands, if I am kicked out, there will still be nothing left. The second wife kicked out one in three months."
I have heard everything about the concubine. Although the second master did not search her body, the people below were ruthless and even pulled off her jewelry."
Qi Xiaotao was stunned: "Is it so evil?"
This is a fact. That woman was so pitiful that she was rejected only because she was sick. Chu Yunli couldn't stand it, and quietly asked Dong Yu to give her some money so that she wouldn't end up living on the street.
"I'll help you keep it." Qi Xiaotao kept the land deed and felt a little uneasy: "Sister, don't worry too much about money. It would be bad if you are rejected by the young master. You have to think about your children."
"I know, these are rewards for giving birth to children." Chu Yunli came closer and whispered: "The children I gave birth to are very healthy and will not die easily. Young Master is happy. I have never asked for these."
thing."
Qi Xiaotao finally felt relieved.
"Then...then I'll go over and take a look now, see how it is inside, and clean it up again."
Chu Yunli nodded: "The old woman has passed away, let her take care of you from now on."
Qi Xiaotao hesitated to speak: "You really don't need it. Sister, you've been so good to me, what can I do in the future to repay you?"
