Save the Husband Eighteen The last time the Zhu family held a wedding
The last time Zhu's family held a happy event was years ago. That time, Zhu's mother hired a daughter-in-law she didn't like, and left everything to the shopkeeper. Whether it was the banquet or the things used, everything was about right and there were no mistakes.
This time, Zhu’s mother really put her heart into it and didn’t want anyone or anything to ruin her hard work.
Several people who looked like gangsters wanted to come forward to talk to her, but Mother Zhu turned her face away and signaled with her eyes to the steward to get them away quickly.
After everyone left, she was still not happy, so she muttered to the person who was serving her closely: "Then the Zhou family has been severing ties with our Zhu family. I thought she had given up, but in the end she found so many people to make trouble. This is such a happy moment.
Today, if things really break out, the Zhu family will be embarrassed. I really saw her right, she is so vicious!"
The maid echoed in a low voice: "That's right. A person from a small household wouldn't have thought that we would find someone else for our happy occasion. If we don't have enough manpower today, it will be just as she wanted."
Zhu's mother received two more guests, hurried in and sat in the high hall, watching a pair of people on the wall saluting in front of her, she was so happy that she could not see her teeth.
After the table was placed and the guests were seated, Zhu Mu turned around again and finally could take a breath. She found a remote small room and asked the servants to bring her snacks and tea. She planned to go out to see off the guests after a few sips.
.
While eating, there was another noise next door. The voice sounded strange to Mother Zhu, and then she remembered the gangsters at the door. She was a little annoyed: "Didn't you send them food?"
To be honest, normally she would just have them beaten out, but today there were so many guests here that it would be a joke. Then she thought of setting up a table to gag them and wait for the guests to leave.
Let’s talk about it later.
The maid went out for a trip, and when she came back there were beads of sweat on her forehead: "They insisted on seeing you."
Mother Zhu frowned and strode over, her face clouded with clouds: "Don't toast and eat as a fine. If you make trouble again, I will send you all to the Yamen."
She thought these people were deliberately making trouble, and their faces turned bad when they showed up. The leader's face also darkened: "Madam, she reported to the officials indiscriminately, and the officials were afraid that they would be too busy. We are not here for this reason.
We are making trouble, but we need to settle the accounts!"
Mother Zhu looked surprised: "Where did the account come from?"
The accounts in Zhu's shop are clear. Even if there is money that is not paid to the merchants, it will be paid on time and at the right time. It will be delivered when the time comes, and no one will be owed money.
Business is based on integrity. Father Zhu was able to make his business so big because he never owed money to anyone for no reason.
The man took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it over with both hands: "This is the IOU written by Mr. Xu for us."
When Zhu's mother heard this, she thought it was ridiculous. Even if the two families were relatives, she could not ask for the debt owed by the Xu family.
She subconsciously thought it was the bad debts of the Xu family outside, such as defaulting on other people's payment for goods, etc. She waved her hand and said, "It's none of my business. Whoever owes you will go ask for it!"
"But the Xu family has not come out yet." The man said with a serious face: "If he still doesn't come out, we will put Mr. Xu in prison. If he owes 80,000 taels, he will be imprisoned for more than ten years."
Zhu's mother couldn't believe her ears. It was also because both father and son were busy, and she herself had never been idle. Before today, she had no idea that Mr. Xu had done such a ridiculous thing.
"All his wealth has been lost?"
She was so surprised that she yelled and her voice broke.
Seeing a few people nodding, Zhu's mother's mind went blank and she subconsciously asked: "If these debts are not repaid, will my son's father-in-law be a prisoner?"
Several people nodded again.
Mother Zhu felt her body go limp and almost fell to the ground. She held on to the table and sat down slowly: "What is this all about! The Xu family is not just rich, but they are also prestigious and have a profound background. How could this happen?
so?"
"Madam, will you give it?" Several people knew before they came that they would definitely receive money when they came to visit today. Although there were not many families in several cities who could come up with 80,000 taels of silver, the Zhu family was definitely one of them.
At this moment, Zhu's mother was finally sure that she was not dreaming, her lips were trembling with anger, and she said in a trembling voice: "I have to discuss such a big matter with my master. I can't afford such a large sum of money myself."
A few people understood this and nodded.
When Zhu's mother went out, she felt like she was stepping on cotton. She went to the front yard in a daze, found the gentleman who was chatting with someone, and told the story in a low voice.
"I think those people may be liars."
Mr. Zhu's face turned pale: "Eighty thousand?"
He knew that Mr. Xu owed a lot, but the Xu family's house and shop were worth a lot of money, so he should be able to repay most of it. When the time came, the difference would be seven or eight thousand taels, so he gritted his teeth and helped out, thinking it was just to buy the general's wife.
relative.
Mother Zhu muttered: "Just beat them out as liars. It will take us several years to earn back that much money."
Mr. Zhu went to see them.
Several people spoke more bluntly: "After the newlyweds went out, our people have found Mr. Xu. He should have left the city by now. If you don't give me money, if you want to find someone after five days, you will have to go to the prison."
Already."
While they were talking, someone else came over from outside, and the maid screamed: "Madam, your hijab hasn't been taken off yet, why are you here?"
There were many people blocking Xu Caidi's way here, but she pushed them away one by one. In addition, the people who blocked her didn't dare to use too much force, so it was quite smooth to get here.
"Father, save my dad!"
Before she arrived, she arrived first. After entering the door, she spotted Zhu's father's position and knelt down.
Father Zhu: "..."
Zhu's mother felt particularly bad. In the past, she seemed to be a good girl everywhere, but now she just felt that everything was unpleasant.
"Did your father come here to marry our family because he owed money?" Mother Zhu knew in her heart that this was the truth. The key is that it was so annoying that when her son was seventeen years old, he had not yet married Zhou Anyu, so she helped
When the two sons met, they sent acquaintances to Xu's house to discuss the marriage. As a result, the news was like a stone's throw, and there was no reply from them.
Now that she was in a hurry, Mother Zhu thought her son was too good, but she didn't expect that he was eyeing the Zhu family's money.
In fact, the Xu family had seriously considered marrying the Zhu family years ago. However, their family had many choices at that time, and Xu's mother was reluctant to let go of her daughter, so she thought of keeping her daughter for two more years. However, they had already sent someone to inquire in private.
I was originally very satisfied with Zhu Kangyu's appearance, conduct, and behavior. Just when I was about to send someone to contact him, I heard that the Zhu family had already hired an unknown daughter of a small businessman... This was obviously not fate.
You can't force fate. After that, Xu's mother put the matter aside. But Xu Caidi knew about Zhu Kangyu and fell in love with him after meeting him by chance. So, in the following years, although she was with others
We looked at each other, but we didn't like anyone, so we delayed until today.
"No." Xu Caidi hurriedly denied it, then lowered her head and said shyly: "This marriage is mine..."
Zhu Mu: "..." Thank you for your consideration.
She only resented that Xu Caidi was not blind enough and took a fancy to someone who was not good enough, so she wanted to harm her family.
"You...you..." She was so angry that she was trembling all over. She really wanted to kick him out in anger, but there were all the guests outside, congratulating her son on his wedding. If she really broke off the engagement, she would not be able to lose it.
Pick up this person.
But if he doesn't retreat, his family will have an in-law who is in jail. He will also become a joke.
If you want to avoid being laughed at, you have to fish for Mr. Xu.
Eighty thousand taels!
Thinking of this, Mother Zhu felt like she had a heart attack, couldn't breathe, and almost fainted.
"I want to see someone else." Zhu's father was quite calm: "This is not a small amount of money. No matter how rich my family is, this money is not obtained for free. Send him to the house, and I will ask about it."
"Okay!" A few people responded simply and immediately divided half of their hands to pick up the person.
Father Zhu patted his wife: "Don't be stunned, hurry up and see off the guests."
Zhu's mother glared at Xu Caidi fiercely, almost crying with anger. But she couldn't lose her face, so she stood at the gate again. As happy as she was when she welcomed the guests in the morning, she felt so miserable now.
She was absentmindedly dealing with the leaving lady, wondering whether she would be able to get the money out of her own house, when she suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"Mrs. Zhu."
Mother Zhu had something on her mind, and she didn't know who it was for a moment. She followed the sound and saw Zhou Anyu's smiling face.
Chu Yunli tilted her head and looked at her: "Mrs. Zhu, you looked down on me at first, but now you have finally married the daughter-in-law you like, why are you still not happy? Your face doesn't look like there is a joy in the family, it looks like you are doing something about it.
It’s like a funeral.”
Another guest came over, and Zhu's mother swallowed back the curse words: "Why are you here?"
"Congratulations to Madam Zhu on your wonderful daughter-in-law!" Chu Yunli smiled and presented a set of soaps: "I made these specially."
With that said, he opened the box, and there were eight pieces of soap lined up inside. There was a word on each piece, and the combination was "A happy marriage will last a long time, and a child will be born soon"!
"Look at my face." Chu Yunli pointed to her face and said with a smile: "I'm very happy, I'm not forcing myself at all. I don't want others to say I'm an abandoned wife."
Several ladies came out and looked over in surprise when they heard this.
These people had all bought things from Chu Yunli's shop before, and some of them went there in person. Chu Yunli smiled and greeted them one by one, and then passed the box in his hand forward to confirm that everyone
They all could see it. When he saw some ladies showing affection, he said, "I'm here today. Firstly, I want to congratulate you. Secondly, I want my guests to know that it was me who didn't want Zhu Kangyu to leave on his own initiative, rather than being driven away by them."
All the ladies secretly took a peek at Mother Zhu's expression.
Zhu's mother had a particularly bad look on her face. Zhou Anyu was just a daughter of a small businessman at the beginning, and she was disgraced when she left. Those who knew the inside story were lucky, but if they didn't know the inside story, they thought the Zhu family disliked the Zhou family too much and could no longer tolerate this girl, so they kicked her out.
.
If Zhou Anyu came to make such a fuss today, wouldn't she tell everyone that she despises the Zhu family?
Under the different eyes of everyone, Chu Yunli asked with a smile: "Mrs. Zhu, don't you like my gift? Why don't you come to accept it?"
If there is a happy event in the family, if someone comes to congratulate you, and if the gift is not unusual, you must accept it, otherwise it will be unlucky.
This soap was custom-made, the kind that even money could not buy, and the words on it were also auspicious. Mother Zhu had no reason to refuse. She winked at the maid next to her.
The maid came forward and held it with both hands.
In such a short time, many ladies have arrived at the door. Chu Yunli was finally satisfied, and pointed at the box in the maid's hand to everyone: "That is a new product in my shop. You can take a look, whether it is the fragrance or color."
, or style, including the words above, can be specified at will."
