Mrs. Mei over there looked at the girl's belly and said, "Really? It's really my uncle's?"
The girl cried hard, "I used to follow my wife, and I only stayed with my uncle for two months. I didn't go anywhere except to accompany my uncle... Please make the decision for me, my wife."
The girl is also smart, and she can tell that Mrs. Mei attaches great importance to this child.
Mrs. Mei held her forehead and said, "Go back to the yard first."
Chu Yunli raised her eyebrows, "Mrs. Mei, for such a woman who is pregnant for no apparent reason, are you sure you want to stay in the Lu family?"
If it were the head of the Mei family, she would have no problem keeping ten, let alone one.
Only then did Mrs. Mei realize that Chu Yunli was still standing beside her, "As Mrs. Lu, can't I even keep a maid?"
In fact, Chu Yunli didn't care whether she kept him or not, but she just didn't want Mrs. Mei to go along with her wishes. She said, "Father is not here, and if you keep a pot-bellied girl, those who don't know may think she is a child of the Lu family. This way of ruining my father's reputation"
I won’t agree to it.”
Mei's face was cold and solemn, "You want to go against me?"
So what?
This cannot be said directly. Whether admitted or not, Mei is her and Lu Feng's elder.
Chu Yunli said calmly, "It's not that I don't allow it, but it's not the Lu family's child in her belly. After she stayed, the gossip from outsiders was unpleasant. You are Mrs. Lu, yes, then I am Mrs. Lu too. Now I am here."
Head, the reputation of the Lu family cannot be ruined by my hands."
After saying that, she looked directly at the concierge and said, "Throw her out!"
The concierge immediately stepped forward to pull the girl away. Mrs. Mei was so angry that her eyesight turned black, "Don't move! If anyone dares to touch her today, I will find Ya Po to sell her!"
The concierge immediately paused, Chu Yunli shook his head slightly, "I am now in charge, if you don't pull me in, I will sell you out now."
The people below looked at each other in confusion, and finally, facing Mei's blessed body, they said, "Madam, I'm sorry. When I left, I told you to listen to the eldest lady."
After saying that, Zhen dragged the girl out of the door.
The girl was also smart. She protected her belly tightly and didn't insist on staying. She just shouted, "Madam, my uncle owes twenty taels of silver and the daily interest is one tael. You'd better hurry up."
…”
Twenty taels?
Mei was stunned.
Chu Yunli was speechless, this Mei Liang... really didn't know what to say.
It was already getting late at this time, so Chu Yunli decided not to go at all.
In the evening, Mrs. Mei actually came to their yard. After entering the door, she asked Lu Feng a few questions and then said, "Can you lend me some money?"
Lu Feng refused, "We have no money."
Mrs. Mei wanted to get angry, but she asked for help and managed to hold back her anger. "You have been in charge of the family for three months. You can save two taels of money at home every month. This is six taels. Can you borrow it first?"
Give me some... I will find a way to pay them back later."
Mrs. Mei has never earned a penny in these years except for stealing money from the Lu family. How can such a person expect her to pay back the money?
Even if he could pay it back, he would still take it from Father Lu in the end. It would be better for Lu Feng to get it himself.
Chu Yunli shook his head, "No, we need to buy medicine, but we have already spent all the money."
There was no room for negotiation at all. Seeing the cold attitude between the two, Mei turned around with a sullen face.
I originally thought that the Mei family would have to think of ways to save money, but when I woke up the next morning, I heard that the Zhou family had opened the door of the Mei family.
After asking, I learned that feces was thrown at the door of Zhou's dim sum shop again. Mr. Zhou and his waiters went directly to Mei's house to ask for an explanation.
When Chu Yunli and Chu Yunli arrived, the door of the Mei family was open, and Mei Liang was sitting at the door with his legs crossed. Mr. Zhou was furious and was telling people about the grievances of the Zhou family, "We have no grievances with the Mei family. Last time I asked
He was the one who was looking for someone, thinking there was some misunderstanding, so he suffered a dumb loss. But when I woke up this morning, there was something at the door of my house... I am in the food business, and there was a stench at the door, who would come to the door? "
"Today, in front of everyone, I want to ask Mei Liang why he lost his conscience and threw excrement at the door of Zhou's house twice in a row?"
Mei Liang smiled half-heartedly, "If you don't do bad things during the day, how could a ghost come to you? You should know why I poured excrement on you."
Master Zhou was extremely angry, "I don't know!"
"On the day my nephew got married, I drank a little too much and was beaten up on the way back." Mei Liang looked at everyone, "Everyone knows about this, and you all secretly laughed at me. Later I had to
You know, the one who asked for someone to beat me is you, Zhou Nao!"
Zhou Ding snorted coldly, "That's the one you should hit!"
Mei Liang nodded, "So if I find someone to throw excrement at you, I should be rewarded."
Everyone was a little curious about why Zhou Yao said that Mei Liang deserved a beating. You know, he had to lie down for more than a month before going out.
"Why did you splash again this morning?" Zhou Dao said angrily, "If I can't explain clearly, I will ask the mayor to help me make the decision!"
Mei Liang sneered, "From the day before yesterday to yesterday, several of them came to my house to gamble. I was unlucky and lost twenty taels in a row. I originally admitted it and planned to raise the money to pay it back as soon as possible, but last night my brother told me,
They deliberately set up a trap to defraud me of my money, and the mastermind behind it is you!"
"I'll show mercy when I throw shit at you!"
Zhou Ming said in a deep voice, "Everything must be based on evidence. You said I asked someone to lie to you, where is the evidence? If you don't admit it when you lose, do you still want to say that because I asked someone to cheat you, you don't plan to pay back the money?
Already?"
"Hey! You're right." Mei Liang looked at the crowd, "I, Mei Liang, am indeed a loser. But if I lose, I will admit it. Even if I throw the pot away, I will find a way to pay it back. But you want to treat me as a fool.
There's no way to lie! I'll tell you straight today, I won't repay the debt I owed from the day before yesterday to yesterday!"
"That's not possible!" Two young men suddenly stood up from the crowd, with angry expressions on their faces, "We lent you the money only after you pledged it, and you won't pay it back if you don't?"
Mei Liang hummed softly, "You played a trick on me, not to mention the money you defrauded me of, and you also asked me to borrow twenty taels of interest. To put it bluntly, you were using your left hand and your right hand, and you made me bear the debt for nothing. I will pay it back."
Shit! I’ve stayed with you for three days and I haven’t settled the account yet?”
The two men rushed forward, but there were too many people at the moment, so they were quickly pulled away and could not start a fight. The two of them were still fighting, "You bastards! If you don't pay back the money you owe, the sky will strike like lightning."
Don't die well..."
"I won't repay you!" Mei Liang put his hands on his hips, "Forget about the interest, I won't repay the capital. It's because you don't follow the moral principles of the world and cheated you out of money. I don't think anyone will come after you in the future!"
The scoundrel appearance made the two people over there furious. Even Zhou Ding was very angry, "I'll ask the mayor to make the decision!"
There was such a big fuss here that the mayor got the news and rushed over. As soon as he arrived, he heard this sentence and immediately said, "It's time to go. If you have something to say to my house, what are you doing here?"
Then, a group of people were taken away. Mei wanted to go, but Chu Yunli refused to let them go, and moved a chair to sit at the door to guard it personally.
The mayor acted fairly. In the end, Mei Liang compensated the Zhou family for half a month's losses. There was no evidence whether the money he owed was for the game, but it was always his own loss. The mayor made the decision, and the money was not used.
But the principal still has to be repaid.
It was like a scene, and he still had a debt of more than twenty taels of silver.
When Mrs. Mei found out, she was so angry that she almost fainted. She held on to the table to steady herself, "What will happen if you don't return it?"
Lu Chen was a little worried, "Mom, are you okay?"
"The mayor said that if he doesn't pay back, he will transfer the matter to the county. At that time, if he still doesn't pay back, he may go to jail."
Mei's face was gloomy, "Twenty taels, even if you sell me, I won't have it."
Lu Chen was a little worried, "Mom, we can slowly figure out a solution for the money matter, don't be too anxious."
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious..." Mrs. Mei suddenly became furious and asked loudly, "You are forcing me one by one. You are twenty years old and you are still young and sensible. How can I not be anxious about such a big thing?
"
It might as well be that her anger was directed at him. Lu Chen was stunned for a moment. He originally gave the advice with good intentions, but now he was not happy, "But uncle, he can gamble and seduce women everywhere. Mom, he is just your brother.
Don't you think you spend more time on him than on my son? Even my marriage... He had a grudge against the Zhou family because he was too lazy to do things. He put ten taels of silver on the roadside and went to find the little boy.
I'm a widow...if I were like this, would you bother me so much?"
Mei has encountered a lot of troubles recently, especially Mei Xiang, her daughter-in-law. It's not that she dislikes her niece, it's just that she can't help her at all. Her son's marriage is simply a sore spot that she can't touch. Now it's being torn apart alive.
He collapsed immediately, "I don't want to bother. What can I do? Tell me, what should I do? He is the only male in the Mei family. Do I really watch him being beaten to death?"
Lu Chen felt uncomfortable when his mother was like this, so he thought for a while and said, "Two ways!"
Mrs. Mei cried for a while and looked at him suspiciously.
Lu Chen turned around and closed the door, walked back to Mrs. Mei and said in a low voice, "I don't care about uncle, anyway, the girl is pregnant, and the child she gives birth to will be from the Mei family."
Mrs. Mei frowned, and Chase Lu knew that she would not agree, and continued, "The second one is to get money from dad, but dad will definitely not agree to use so much money to pay off his uncle's debts, or gambling debts, so
Many people know that we are just cheating. Dad also found out when he inquired... The only way is for you to take charge of the business again, then save on food and clothing, and plug the holes as soon as possible. If you pay three taels a month, you can pay it back in more than half a year.
.However, my uncle really can’t let him gamble anymore..."
Mrs. Mei thought thoughtfully, "If the housekeeper's power is in that woman's hands, how can she be willing to give it back to me?"
So we have to find a way!
As soon as the mother and son's eyes met, they both started to care about each other.
The next morning, as soon as Chu Yunli and Chu Yunli got up, someone from Sanli Village came to tell her that Mrs. Zhang was ill and asked her to go back.
No matter how much Mrs. Zhang feels sorry for Cui Yuan'er, she is also a grandmother. Chu Yunli can draw a clear line between Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang, but she should still go back when Mrs. Zhang is ill.
So, the two of them took a carriage and headed to Sanli Village.
Mrs. Zhang was indeed ill. She was lying on the bed with a handkerchief on her head, looking weak and said, "Yuan'er, I thought you wouldn't come back."
Chu Yunli sat on the chair next to her and said sincerely, "You are my grandmother. She is really ill. I still have to come back to see you one last time."
Mrs. Zhang choked.
