When she got married, her dowry was only two hundred taels. Although she had made a lot of money over the years, most of it was spent on buying a shop. She didn't have much cash on hand. How could she have known that when she bought this cloth bag, she couldn't even tell what was inside?
s things.
This is the disadvantage of her not having done business.
Originally, she wanted to buy a bag, but the owner didn't even show his face, let alone sell it. Only then did she think of buying this cloth bag. In her eyes, the bag of materials is equal to the prescription!
It's a pity that the young steward was stubborn and loyal, so he relaxed after she increased the amount from ten taels of silver to one hundred taels. It was also because this cloth bag was rare, so she thought she would get the prescription by getting it.
Looking at the bland sauced meat, she had no appetite just looking at it. Of course Luo Qiaoqiao refused to admit that she was stupid, she gritted her teeth with hatred, "Anyone named Chen is not a good person!"
The steward's surname is Chen.
The maid waiting at the side asked tentatively, "Do you want me to go find him again?"
Luo Qiaoqiao said in a deep voice, "Of course. Is it so easy to make money as my money? If he doesn't come, I will find his master."
If it was true that the steward stole things from the shop to sell them, wouldn't he be so frightened that he lost his mind after hearing what she said?
But Manager Chen was different. He had the permission of his master to sell this thing. After hearing the maid's threat, he was not false at all. "The money and goods are both paid. Integrity is important in business. Miss Luo Wu said that she only needs the material package, and I have already given it."
, even if you take it to the Yamen, I will be justified."
He was so confident!
The maid was furious and went back to report to Luo Qiaoqiao, "Master, he must have broken the pot and took a large sum of money and no longer wants to work."
Yes, one hundred taels of silver can make a family's life very comfortable in the outer city.
Luo Qiaoqiao's face was as dark as water, "He is the one who buys everything in the shop, and only he can see the master behind him. I don't believe he won't get the material package. From today on, someone will keep an eye on him!"
The maid responded.
Luo Qiaoqiao thought of something and asked again, "That girl hasn't come out yet?" She was asking Fang Nianqiao.
"No." The mother-in-law came in and reported, "I have been watching her and didn't see her go out!"
Two months have passed since Luo Qiaoqiao asked her to take the medicine. At first, Fang Nianqiao said that the medicine he bought had been knocked over, and gradually she stopped coming out.
Luo Qiaoqiao wanted to break up, but she was also afraid that the Gao family would hate her. She had to endure it again and again, and was distracted by planning the recipe next door, and that's where today is.
She didn't get the prescription and couldn't help Gao Mingzhe. She was very upset at the moment: "Let the maid of the Gao family send her a message. If she doesn't come out tomorrow, don't blame me for exposing her!"
The next morning, as soon as Gao Mingzhe left, Fang Nianqiao sneakily opened the door and ran out, running all the way to the teahouse. After entering, he knelt down and said, "Master, I really can't help it. I didn't mean not to come to you.
I had prepared the medicine you gave me that day and was about to drink it, but the maid next to my second brother and sister smelled it and said it was an abortion medicine. This made my mother-in-law think that someone had done something to me, and she even inspected the house. If it hadn't been for me,
Be cautious and let her find out that I want to drink the medicine... This child is now seven months old. If she is forcibly aborted, I am afraid that one will die and two will die. Master, I don't want to die..."
Fang Nianqiao was lying on the ground with a big belly and kowtowing. She should have kowtowed awkwardly, but she kowtowed extremely quickly. Her forehead banged on the ground and became red and swollen after a few strokes.
Seeing how sincere she was, Luo Qiaoqiao's anger subsided a little and she sneered, "If I had known it would happen, why would you have deceived me in the first place? When I learned that I was pregnant, if I had taken some medicine, what would have happened today?"
Fang Nianqiao immediately admitted her mistake, "I know my mistake, please forgive me!"
"Are you aware of your mistake?" Luo Qiao chewed on these two words, her tone unclear, "You deceived me first, then refused to show up, postponed and procrastinated in various ways, and even the medicine I bought for you was overturned.
People realize something is wrong. Don’t you just want to keep this child? To tell you the truth, if you insist on giving birth to this child, you will definitely die before the child hits the ground. Either he will lose his life, or he will die twice.
, you choose one yourself!”
Fang Nianqiao was startled. He bit his lip and turned pale. He looked at the gate of Gao's house opposite and said, "I heard my mother-in-law say two days ago that Mingzhe should find another good match for him who can help him. If it weren't for me,
She is pregnant and has been kicked out of the house a long time ago. If you kill me, it will just satisfy my mother-in-law."
Luo Qiaoqiao frowned.
She was silent for a while, then waved her hand and said, "You go back first."
Fang Nianqiao felt relieved. In any case, this woman would not be so crazy that she would have another baby.
After she left, the mother-in-law Fu Shen stood beside her and said, "Master, she clearly intends to deceive you, are you going to let her go like this?"
Luo Qiaoqiao's lips curved into a sarcastic smile, "So what if it's full term, it counts only if you are born alive. Besides, even if you are born with sound limbs and no defects, it is still unknown whether you can grow up."
The voice was so permeable that the mother-in-law lowered her head and felt a chill on her back.
Neither of the two urgent matters could be solved. Luo Qiaoqiao was in a bad mood and frowned, "Have people follow the steward next door closely. Don't run away to see the master. You don't know yet."
The maid and mother-in-law quickly responded.
Luo Qiaoqiao ordered again, "By the way, ask about the Wen Pos around here."
The maid answered again, and after exiting, the two looked at each other. The maid was young and couldn't help but ask, "Auntie, will something happen?"
In the past, the most common thing the two of them did was to spread news and help buy food and clothing. Now they are looking for Wen Po... Fang Nianqiao is the only one who is pregnant around her. With the master's attitude towards her, it is impossible for him to look for her because he is worried that she will not give birth safely.
Steady mother-in-law, right?
Now that we have found Po Wen, the next step should be to instruct Po Wen to take action when she is in labor... This is killing people's lives, not to mention what will happen to them if things are exposed, human life is at stake, and you can't live with it just in your own heart.
The mother-in-law waved her hand, "If we sell ourselves as maids, the master will be worse than dead just thinking about it. You should be honest."
honest?
If you are honest, you can only obey. The maid looks ugly.
Recently, Chu Yunli is teaching two children to calculate accounts. After becoming proficient in arithmetic and accounting, at least he will not be deceived by his subordinates. Even if he cannot do business, he can still work as an accountant.
After the Gao family moved out, it was too far away from the inner city. After the Gao brothers made two trips to ask to see each other but to no avail, they never came again. The Gao Youan brother and sister also gradually forgot about those relatives and became more and more harmonious with Chu.
Yunli is close.
Just as Manager Chen came again, Chu Yunli took the account book, ordered the maid to carry the prepared material package to the carriage, and sent him away.
Not long after, the steward of the teahouse came to report, "The fifth girl is here and wants to see you."
Chu Yunli looked at the two children and said, "Ask her to go next door!"
The person who had been following Manager Chen got the exact news that he would come to the master today to get the material package, so Luo Qiaoqiao followed him in person.
But she didn't expect that the master behind him turned out to be the owner of Si'an Tea House. She happened to know the identity of this owner, it was Luo Zhiniang!
She lives in an outer city now, and it's not easy to come back. She's come here, but she doesn't want to miss her.
When Chu Yunli entered the door, she saw Luo Qiaoqiao standing in front of the window. She was leaning against the window and looking at the scenery outside.
"What's up?"
Luo Qiaoqiao didn't look back, "This is the first time I've come back to this three-story house. Looking down from a high place, the view is unobstructed. It's really good."
Chu Yunli was a little surprised, "There are so many restaurants and teahouses in this city with three floors. It's not that difficult."
"Do you think I'm the same as you?" Luo Qiaoqiao turned around, "As a legitimate daughter, you received a dowry of eight hundred taels of silver. Your third uncle loved you and gave you a lot more. Gao Mingzhe knows how to do business and make money for you.
You paid so much money. Of course you want to go wherever you want. You have never been like me, entering a restaurant and calculating the price difference between the second floor and the third floor."
Chu Yunli was speechless.
After recalling it, he said, "I haven't been to the third floor a few times. Mrs. Gao doesn't like my squandering. In other words, she doesn't like it no matter what I do."
Luo Zhiniang lived wantonly because she didn't care what the Gao family thought of her. Anyway, she gave her lots of things and felt she had a clear conscience. Gao Mingzhe coaxed her, and the rest of the Gao family didn't dare to go too far.
In fact, it will not be too difficult for every Luo girl after she gets married.
Luo Qiaoqiao's voice was sharp, "But you are here on the third floor today?" This voice was too sharp and seemed a bit mean.
Chu Yunli looked confused, "This is the building I bought myself. I just sleep here, so what does it have to do with you? If you like it, why don't you just buy one yourself?"
Seeing Luo Qiaoqiao's eyes burning with anger, Chu Yunli asked again, "Are you okay? I'll leave if you're okay. I'm still busy over there."
Saying that, he turned around and left.
"Of course there is something." Luo Qiaoqiao saw her turning around and said with a malicious smile, "There is something I think I need to tell you. It's your sauce shop in the outer city, the one opposite Gao's house.
The steward took me a hundred taels of silver and promised to sell me the prescription. But after receiving the money, I didn't see the prescription. He is a liar. If you don't give me the prescription, I will go to the Yamen to sue you for cheating money."
"Sue me?" Chu Yunli said funny, "I knew you wanted the prescription when you came to him to ask about the master. I asked him to collect the money. Someone is willing to spend a hundred taels to buy a material bag.
Of course I want to sell it."
Luo Qiaoqiao gritted her teeth, "Why don't you go and grab it?"
Chu Yunli looked at her suspiciously and said suddenly, "So you thought that was the recipe? I thought you really wanted to buy the ingredient package. After all, some people like to eat sauced meat cooked by themselves."
Seeing her like this, Luo Qiaoqiao's heart moved, "No, I thought he only spent a hundred taels for me. I want to return it!"
Chu Yunli waved her hand, "The goods will not be returned or exchanged after they are shipped out."
Luo Qiaoqiao was angry, "Are you sure you don't want to retreat?"
"Don't retreat!" Chu Yunli looked her up and down suspiciously, "Fifth sister, why do you want all my things? Forget about being a man, after all, Gao Mingzhe is really good-looking with a human face and a dog-like appearance. But now you can't even give me my prescription."
They’ve all been targeted, and you’re still pissed off even if you live on the third floor. Do you want to follow my example even if I fart?”
This taunt was caught off guard, and Luo Qiaoqiao was furious, "You're talking nonsense!"
Chu Yunli said calmly, "This is a fact! Don't you like my man?"
She thought of something and suddenly said, "You were the first person to find him and help him save his life, right? Now that you have been replaced by someone else, do you feel aggrieved?"
Luo Qiaoqiao's chest heaved with anger. She was afraid that the Gao family would know about these things, so she didn't dare to speak for a while, for fear that if she said anything more, she would be wrong.
She didn't answer, so Chu Yunli asked and answered, "I remembered, you found that Fang Nianqiao yourself."
"I am convinced that I am causing trouble for myself!"
