Father Wen just wanted to avoid the villagers, so he came back in the evening. He happily told the steward, "I was lucky today. I caught a lot of fish. Let's eat them together."
After he finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong in the atmosphere in the room.
Father Wen was confused, "What's going on?"
Chu Yunli pointed to the box in the middle of the table, "Dad, I don't want to look at this warehouse. You can find someone to take stock of it, and you can take it back after reconciliation."
"Isn't it a good thing?" Father Wen frowned, "You have been watching it for so many years. There is no need to change it. I believe you."
Chu Yunli smiled and said, "You believe me, but some people don't."
These words alluded to Mother Wen. Regardless of Mother Wen's ugly face, she continued, "I'm already over 20 years old, so I'm considered an old girl. I'm going to be a filial piety next month, so I should be planning to get married by then. I probably don't have time to take care of the warehouse."
.”
When she talked about planning to get married, she was not shy at all.
On the other hand, the Wen couple were a little uncomfortable. After all, she would become an old girl because of Wen Ruxi.
She looked at Li Yuancha and said, "Today my sister and I brought someone in to borrow food, but I didn't agree. It's not because I'm heartless, but because the food in this warehouse doesn't belong to me. I'm just keeping an eye on it for the Wen family, in case we can't match it."
, where can I find food to pay for it?" It was an explanation.
Li Yuancha snorted softly and looked away. It was obvious that he didn't believe it.
Chu Yunli put down her teacup and said seriously, "Brother and sister, what's your attitude? You are arrogant towards your eldest sister. Is this the way the daughter of the Li family is raised?"
After hearing this, Li Yuancha suddenly stood up and asked, "What attitude do you want? I am the daughter-in-law of the Wen family. I promised to lend food to others, but you are unwilling to give it. You still ask me, and I still want to ask."
What do you mean?"
Chu Yunli raised her eyebrows, "Are you deaf? Can't you hear what I just said? I'm just looking at the manager of the warehouse. Do you think the cowherd boy dares to sell the cow?"
Li Yuancha looked unbelieving, "It's because you didn't give it to me. The people here today are all from the Wen family. Do you think your parents won't lend it to you?"
Chu Yunli said nothing, picked up the tea cup and drank tea, which was regarded as acquiescence.
Seeing this, Li Yuancha was a little surprised. He glanced around the room and asked in disbelief, "Dad, don't you plan to help my family and relatives?"
Father Wen didn't look very well.
Chu Yunli had lost her patience. Every morning, the restaurant would go to the warehouse to get rice and oil. She didn't want to wait until dawn, so she got up and said, "Dad, there will be a while longer to cook fish in the kitchen. Let's go first."
Go to the warehouse to take inventory, and then eat when you come back."
After Wen's father moved to the town to do business, he became the richest family in the village. Normally, people in the village would come to borrow money, and Wen's father would always help if he could. But this year was different. It was a drought, and so many people were having a hard time. He
If the grain is lent out, whether it can be recovered depends entirely on God's will. You can't just have to collect debts when people are starving to death, right?
Father Wen didn't move. "No, you still have to look after this warehouse. I believe you."
His business is getting bigger and bigger, and people in the village are looking after him. He is also generous, and it is difficult for him to refuse when someone asks to borrow something from him. But the key is different in Wen Zhi's hand. Others borrow it.
If you want money and food, just push it towards her.
"What if someone asks me to borrow it again?" Chu Yunli glanced at Li Yuancha, "My brother and sister brought someone to me again. It would be stingy not to borrow it. What should I do?"
In front of his daughter-in-law, Wen's father couldn't say that he would not borrow it, so he just said, "It's up to you."
Chu Yunli nodded and looked at Li Yuancha, "Brothers and sisters, you can bring them here tomorrow. Just keep some accounts and move the food."
Father Wen: "..." That's not the way to do it!
His face turned dark and he said solemnly, "No!"
Chu Yunli pushed the box and said, "My brothers and sisters will be angry if I don't lend it, and you won't agree if I borrow it. I can't see this warehouse, dad can do it himself."
Father Wen was also angry. He just felt that his daughter had grown up and was not considerate. He took the box angrily. He thought of something and said meaningfully, "Don't regret it in the future."
What do you regret?
Isn't it just that Wen Zhi holds the key to the warehouse, so both the servants of the Wen family and other shopkeepers will be more polite to her.
So what if you're not welcome?
Not to mention her, just Wen Zhi himself. It would be easy for him to support himself without leaving the Wen family.
Chu Yunli shook his head, "Dad, I don't regret it. Let's go take stock now."
Wen Zhi's accounts were clear and nothing was inconsistent. Half an hour later, he had checked them from beginning to end and found that everything in the warehouse was indeed correct. In this way, Chu Yunli handed over the warehouse.
During dinner, the table was very silent, and Li Yuancha quietly looked towards her several times.
Chu Yunli pretended not to know and ignored her.
It's normal for her to be angry when things happen like this today.
On the way back, Li Yuancha chased after him, "Sister, I don't mean to ask you to hand over the warehouse, I just want to help them..."
Chu Yunli raised her hand to stop, "I know. But I can't agree, because I'm just looking at the warehouse. The things in it belong to the Wen family. I, an adopted daughter, can't just touch them. But now that my father is watching in person, if you want
If you want to help them, take them to ask dad."
Li Yuancha was speechless. Before she got married, she knew that this aunt was a child bride. Everyone in the town knew about it. She knew that she had a strong temper and no one could take advantage of her in the restaurant.
In her impression, this aunt could still make some decisions in the Wen family. However, she did not expect that she could not touch the warehouse at all.
After returning home, Chu Yunli took a nap. When she woke up the next day, it was already afternoon. After changing her clothes, she got up and walked around on the street.
It can be said that Wen Zhi has not been so leisurely since she was sensible. There are always things that hinder her in the restaurant every day. If anyone in the restaurant asks for leave, she will definitely take the blame.
In the Wen family restaurant, Wen Zhi has not been seen for a long time, but now the drought has affected many people in the town. The restaurant business has been average recently, so it doesn't matter whether she goes or not.
Chu Yunli bought breakfast and met several Wen family members who went to the Wen family's tofu shop together. When they saw her, they snorted coldly.
Or maybe Wen Zhi's identity is embarrassing. Even members of the Wen family feel that Wen Zhi was taken advantage of by being adopted by the Wen family. That's fine. For an adopted daughter to still keep things belonging to the Wen family, it's too much.
After the strange group of people passed by, Chu Yunli got up and went out. The town was quite big, but an hour later, she wandered around.
When I was approaching Wen's house, I saw a carriage at the intersection. The wheels of the carriage flew out, and the person inside jumped out. He was dressed in dark clothes, with sickly pale skin, a handsome face, and a thin figure. There was also a trace of blood on his lips.
, the attendant on the side looked frightened and wiped it with a handkerchief, "Master, how are you?"
The man took the handkerchief and wiped it casually. He was slightly startled when he saw Chu Yunli standing not far away.
But he was just startled and said, "If the carriage is broken, it's broken. It's not far from here. Just walk over."
Chu Yunli stepped forward with a smile, "Do you need help?"
Liu An was startled again. Are all the girls in this town so bold?
Looking at the person in front of him, he was not a patient person, but facing the girl in front of him who was smiling and talking sweetly, for some reason, he didn't want to speak harshly, and was even a little nervous, "No need."
He added, "Thank you very much, girl."
Seeing that he was so polite, Chu Yunli smiled, her marriage was settled, and she turned around and left happily.
The days are long.
Before arriving at the door of Wen's house, he saw a group of people gathered around the door trying to get in. The concierge looked embarrassed, but acted arrogantly and refused to let them in.
Seeing Chu Yunli approaching, everyone at the door looked unhappy. Someone among them called out, "Zhizhi, can you let us go in and wait for your father?"
Chu Yunli was already about to enter, but turned around and said with a smile, "These are all seniors of the Wen family, of course."
She spoke, and although the concierge was embarrassed, he let the person in.
Several members of the Wen family were able to enter, and they all looked better towards this cheap niece. One of them was even Wen's father's uncle and asked, "Where did Zhizhi come from?"
Chu Yunli smiled slightly and said, "I went for a walk on the street."
These words are surprising. In my memory, this girl has always been helping in the restaurant. I thought she came back from there, but I didn't expect that she was just hanging out.
Pretending not to notice the surprise on their faces, Chu Yunli said with a smile, "I am old now and have other things to do. It is inconvenient to go to the restaurant. I also leave the warehouse and account books to my father.
.”
Several people exchanged glances, all a little surprised, and then looked happy.
Two of them came here yesterday, and she pretended to have a headache to get rid of them. I originally had many opinions about her, but after listening to these words... I always felt that something was wrong.
Yesterday, my niece refused to borrow food, so the key to the warehouse was taken back today.
Does this prove that the Wen family originally wanted to borrow food, but Wen Zhi was unhappy and annoyed his parents, so the key was handed over?
But why didn't the concierge let them in?
Several people had already suppressed their joy, and even had worries on their brows. They didn't pay attention to their steps and followed Chu Yunli into the study room in the front yard.
When they entered the door and saw Wen's father sitting upright in the room, everyone was suddenly shocked to realize that the concierge had just refused to let them in because the master was not here.
Now...the master who was not here is sitting upright, and the niece who refused to borrow food yesterday has been given the key. What else do you not understand?
There is only one possibility, that is, the Wen family does not want to borrow it! It is deliberately avoiding them!
After thinking about this, several people looked ugly, but so what? Now they are begging the Wen family, asking for help from others, and it is not their turn to be angry.
Chu Yunli stepped forward and said with a smile, "Dad, I saw the third master and several uncles looking for you at the door, so I brought them in by the way."
Father Wen: "..." I thank you!
The expression on his face was a little distorted, and it took him a long time to recover. Chu Yunli had already asked someone to bring tea to everyone.
When Father Wen saw this, he didn't want to scold him. He smiled and asked everyone to sit down, "I just came back from the back door. During this period, many people's families are having a hard time. There are too many people borrowing food. Some people are too thick-skinned unconsciously.
Even if we don’t have a good relationship, it’s still embarrassing to speak up.”
People who are too thick-skinned: "..."
