Yu Tongxi slapped a piece of paper over angrily, "You will know what kind of situation you have forced me into."
Chu Yunli picked it up and said, "I can't read. I can't understand it even if I read it!" Chen Chunhua couldn't read, so she probably knew a few of them.
Yu Tongxi: "..." He was confused.
"This is an IOU. I borrowed the money with interest."
Hearing this, Chu Yunli slapped the paper back, "It's none of my business. I didn't force you to buy this house. You have to understand that I'm selling it to you out of love, but it's not that I can't sell it.
When I went to inquire about the price a few days ago, we had already agreed on the selling price. As long as you say no, I can get the money right away!"
Yu Tongxi: "..." He just knew that, so he went to borrow money.
The houses and shops on this street are all very expensive. After Yap took it over, he was able to make a fortune by reselling them. I wish someone would sell them.
Chu Yunli took the box, looked at the money carefully, and said, "Which one of you will come with me to change the house deed?"
"So anxious?" Yu Tongxi's tone was sarcastic. This woman seemed to be eager to separate from him immediately. She looked so impatient that she was heartbroken.
Chu Yunli snorted coldly, "I'm so happy! Isn't it troublesome to grind?"
Yu Tongxi couldn't get out of bed, so Yiniang finally went with her.
Along the way, Chu Yunli walked quickly and was no longer interested in chatting with Yiniang.
Because the deed was only changed two days ago, it will cost some money to change it again.
Although Chu Yunli didn't lack that, she didn't want to give it. When Yi Niang saw this, she was afraid of long nights and dreams, so she directly paid the money, and by the way, it was matched with the room in the shop in front. Except for the fresh handwriting, it was exactly the same as the original one.
Looking at the land deed, Yi Niang suddenly said, "Are you causing this just to get money?"
"Of course!" Chu Yunli took out the silver from the box, put the money away, threw the box away, and said calmly, "I have worked hard for more than twenty years, and just want to send me away with just a little bit of silver. He is afraid of Tongxi.
It’s faster to dream!”
Yi Niang was speechless.
She suddenly felt that she was able to break into the house because this woman did not want Yu Tongxi anymore. If she was willing to fight, what else would she have to do with herself?
The two of them parted ways outside the Yamen. Chu Yunli went directly to Ya Po and asked her to pay attention to the surrounding yards. "It's best if there is a shop in front with people living behind it. It's on these streets, so don't be too far away."
The priorities must be clearly distinguished. Chen Chunhua wants to protect her nephew, but this will not last for a day or two. If he is far away, he may be powerless.
Chu Yunli gave her a tael of silver as deposit, and Yapo accepted it with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye out for you if I find something good. If you can't find it, I'll pay you back the money!"
When he returned to Chen's house, it was getting late and there were not many people on the street. Chen Jiqing was sitting in the shop doing nothing. When he saw her coming back, he got up hurriedly and said, "Aunt, is everything going well?"
Chu Yunli took out the few ingots of silver and said, "It went well. It is said that he borrowed the money with interest. Who cares about him, I have asked Ya Po to keep an eye on the house. There should be news in the next few days." After a pause, she continued.
He said, "With the Pan family, if you are interested, you can go and talk."
Chen Jiqing waved his hand, his mood waning, "She has already started seeing each other today."
At first he was a little reluctant to let go, but after hearing the news, his reluctance disappeared.
Chu Yunli was speechless, and Chen Chunhua probably didn't expect that she would have an impact on her nephew's marriage after she was released from prison. She originally liked Pan Yu, "The Pan family is too anxious."
Chen Jiqing sat down again, "Maybe he's afraid that I'll regret it and ask for the betrothal gift back."
The two of them were in love, and the Chen family's betrothal gift was carefully prepared by Chen Jiqing himself, which was worth several taels of silver. He said he didn't want it after the marriage was over, so didn't the Pan family just want to end the relationship quickly?
Chu Yunli collected the money, sat next to him, and said comfortingly, "Marriage is a matter of a lifetime, so don't worry."
She picked up the cloth on the side, thought about it, took a sewing basket from the side, rolled the pink satin into a flower, sewed it with a needle, and tied it with a ribbon. It was a very delicate silk flower.
It's done.
Nowadays, whether girls or women, most people wear wooden hairpins or silver hairpins on their heads, or they wrap their hair with handkerchiefs. No one has thought of using silk flowers.
Chen Jiqing was a little depressed at first, but when he saw this, he became interested and reached out to take it, "It looks very good, I will definitely sell it!"
Chu Yunli: "..." He is indeed a businessman.
"There's nothing coincidental about this. It would look better if I added a little yarn."
Chen Jiqing played with it for a while and said, "Aunt, let's make more and then sell them."
There was no one outside, so the two simply closed the shop and took all the brightly colored cloths to the backyard. The next day, Chen Jiqing went to a famous cloth store in the city and bought back many cloths made of expensive materials.
Chu Yunli worked in the backyard for half a month and made several large baskets.
Because of this, the two of them have been extremely busy for half a month.
After all the fabrics were finished, the two took the silk flowers to the front shop. The cheapest ones were five to ten cents, and the ones with yarn cost more than ten cents. The expensive ones cost more than twenty cents.
As soon as the silk flowers came out, the business of Chenjia Cloth Shop was better than in the previous ten years, and many people gathered around it from morning to night.
Chu Yunli also bought five flowers and bought the cheapest one, so people who came bought five flowers at once, and some people bought five flowers together, feeling like they were losing money if they didn't get the free one.
Although they are all copper plates, they add up to a lot of money.
Chu Yunli greeted everyone with a smile, and sometimes she would nervously tell the buyer not to let Chen Jiqing know. In this way, the people who bought the things became happier and felt that they had taken advantage of them.
.
While the excitement was going on, an aunt pulled her aside and whispered, "The girl from the Pan family behind me, a matchmaker came to the door yesterday and we arranged a marriage."
Chu Yunli was surprised, "So fast?"
The aunt shook her head and said, "You are short-sighted. You have such skills. If you live with them, it's not certain who will take advantage."
Chen Chunhua's wish is to help her nephew, so Chu Yunli does these things, but she will not help her all the time. If she does it too much, Chen Jiqing will become accustomed to it, which is not good. She has no intention of abandoning Chen Jiqing and raising him after this time.
, she will still move away.
I have been busy during this time, and Yapo has already found several yards, just waiting for her to go and take a look when she has time.
Even if Chu Yunli has heard what the aunt said, this silk flower is nothing unusual. Once other cloth shops appear in two days, Chen Family Cloth Shop will have no advantage, so it is wise to sell it quickly.
In just two days, all the silk flowers were sold out, and the remaining ones with bad colors could be sold at a cheaper price.
In the evening, Chen Jiqing squatted on the ground and counted the copper coins and said with emotion, "There are times when people rush to buy them. These women are so crazy."
Chu Yunli laughed when he heard this and reminded, "Yesterday someone told me that Pan Yu got engaged the day before yesterday."
Chen Jiqing made a move and said, "It's good. She is a good girl and has a clear mind. She can live a good life no matter who she goes to."
"We haven't gotten married yet. If you want, you still have a chance." Chu Yunli reminded.
Chen Jiqing shook his head, "If I really wanted to, I wouldn't let her propose a marriage."
The two were chatting at home, and many people in the back streets were talking about Chu Yunli, "Her hands are so skillful, she can make a flower out of a roll of good fabric. Looking at the Chen family's business in the past two days, I'm jealous...
ah……"
"When she returns to the Chen family, she won't dislike her just because of her skills."
"Dislike it? Some people may regret it to death, thinking it is a burden. Who knows how skilled people are." His tone was gloating.
This is referring to the Pan family.
At this time, the Pan family was silent. Pan Yu sat in front of the window, tears falling continuously.
The old lady of the Pan family sighed, "I watched her grow up, who knew she would have such skillful hands. If I had known this, we would have..."
Pan's father squatted under the eaves, "We are already engaged, what are we talking about? No matter how much the Chen family makes, it has nothing to do with us. Don't worry about it. Looking back now, the Pan family can't afford to lose that person!"
"Unless the Chen family comes to ask for help!"
Naturally, Chen Jiqing would not come to ask for it. The silk flowers were sold out, which cost eleven taels of silver. The raw materials were all cloth, and the cost was only twenty taels of silver. In half a month, he made more than eighty taels.
Carrying several strings of copper plates, Chen Jiqing happily counted them again and again. Finally, he divided four strings and placed them in front of Chu Yunli, "Aunt, these are yours."
Chu Yunli smiled and rubbed the copper plate, "That day I was lying in the prison to see Ah Fu away. The ground was cold, but my heart was even colder. I thought that everyone who cared about me wanted me dead, so I might as well just plead guilty.
.”
"Later...you came and gave me medicine. I felt warm all over in an instant. In fact, I always wanted to thank you for coming."
This is what Chen Chunhua wanted to say. In her previous life, she was poisoned and had no chance, but now Chu Yunli said it on her behalf.
She pushed the copper plate back and said, "Keep it. Just think of it as the money you pay for the doctor's medicine."
During the days when she was recuperating from her injuries, Chen Jiqing paid the doctor for medicine, and he never asked her for it from the beginning to the end. He really treated her as an elder and respected her.
Chen Jiqing refused to take it, "Aunt, it's my duty to take care of you. This copper plate is a good thing. You are alone, and this thing can make you feel at ease."
Chu Yunli smiled immediately, "I feel quite relieved."
No matter what she said, she refused to take it. Chen Jiqing had no choice but to say, "Then I will keep it for you. I will give it to you when you want it."
The next day, Chu Yunli went to Yapo's place to look at the yard. There was a house over there with Yu's house. It was just a small shop without a yard. Chu Yunli didn't want it. In the end, he chose a house with a yard diagonally across from Chen's house, because
The place is big and it cost one hundred and twenty taels.
After getting the house deed, Chu Yunli started moving.
When people in the back streets learned about it, they were very surprised. They didn't expect that Chen Chunhua and Li Guijia would bring so much money. Seeing as she bought the yard without even scratching her head, she should still have some money left.
Originally, when people live in this world, a house is important, but it is impossible to spend all their savings to buy a house. Once a person has a place to live, he still has to take care of his mouth. If he is hungry, he can't eat the house, right?
As Chu Yunli moved, people who originally thought that the Chen family could not get married began to make plans again.
Chen Chunhua has a bad reputation, but living together and not living together are completely different.
Besides, she is so skillful with her hands that she has no problem supporting herself, not to mention the rent of the shop. She should be able to save a lot. The child she gave birth to was sentenced to be executed in autumn. From now on, her house and the money she saved will be
The money must all belong to nephew Chen Jiqing.
After this calculation, she is not only a burden, but should be well supported. After all, that is more than one hundred taels of silver. What is the difference between this and a windfall?
Who dares to say that this aunt is not good?
Others want to ask for it but they still can’t get it!
For a time, many people envied Chen Jiqing, and some secretly praised him for his intelligence. He would rather not get married than support his aunt. In the future, wouldn't Chen Chunhua take care of him as her own son?
What outsiders think has never affected Chu Yunli. After she moved, she planned to warm up her house after seeing a better life. After that, she would open a business in that shop, and the money she earned could help others.
After warming up the house in a lively manner, Chu Yunli began to clean up, clearing out the shop first and repairing it before opening it.
While she was cleaning, a woman suddenly came to the door.
She looks like she is in her twenties, but she is dressed like a girl. She has a pink handkerchief in her hand, and when she gets close, the scent of the wind blows out.
Seeing her staring at him, Chu Yunli looked confused, because after looking carefully, she was very sure that neither Chen Chunhua nor herself had seen this woman. Seeing that she would not leave, she couldn't help but ask, "Who are you? Looking for me?"
Is there something wrong with me?"
The woman smiled sweetly, "You don't know me, but I know you!" She walked in slowly and wandered around the shop by herself, "I know you are not listening to the rumors outside, but because you are my good sister.
Mother-in-law!"
"How about it? Do you enjoy spending the money you picked up?"
Chu Yunli raised her eyebrows and smiled, "I don't understand what you are talking about!"
