After the general's wife was reborn, everyone knelt down and begged her for mercy.

Chapter 29 Better to sell it
Ning Ruchen naturally did not ignore the complicated look in Huo's eyes, and her heart suddenly sank. She thought that the Jiang family treated her sister well before, but now it seems that her sister must have had a bad life in the past six months.

Now that Jiang Bonian has died in the battle, can my sister go home with Li?

"Mom, my daughter-in-law and my brother haven't seen each other for a long time, and we miss them very much, so I would like to invite my brother to sit in the Wutong Courtyard." Ning Ruyan bowed to the Huo family.

"It just so happens that my father also asked me to bring something to my sister." Ning Ruchen clasped his fists.

Huo was very depressed, but she couldn't help but agree. After all, they were brothers and sisters.

In Wutong Courtyard, after having refreshments, the girls retreated outside the door, leaving space for the brother and sister.

"Ayan, what happened?" Ning Ruchen looked at his sister seriously. After her wet nurse and her son sent a letter back to Gusu, he and his father felt that something must have happened to his sister, so , I took the opportunity to meet my sister while I came over to express my condolences.

Naturally, Ning Ruyan couldn't talk about her rebirth. She just talked about the Jiang family's greed. She wouldn't just say nothing and fight on her own. This is her family and she needs their support.

"Damn it." Ning Ruchen got angry when she heard this, "Is this still a human being? Sister, pack your things and let's go back to Gusu."

"Brother." Ning Ruyan held back the excited Ning Ruchen, "I will definitely leave with Li, but not now."

"Huh? You..."

"Brother, I'm not a child anymore. I know it." Ning Ruyan smiled and said, "There are some things that I have to settle personally." Her dead husband has not yet faked his body, how could she Walk?

"But..." Ning Ruchen hesitated for a moment, looked at her sister's firm gaze, and finally nodded, "Okay, but if you need help, you must tell your elder brother."

"Have you done what I said in the letter?"

"Of course, food and herbs have been stored, as well as charcoal. My father has opened a charcoal kiln himself and hired people to burn it. However, it will take time to relocate the two villages you mentioned, and the villagers have to be talked through. , those are tenant farmers, not slaves, they cannot be forcibly moved away, and now is the time for spring plowing, so no one is willing to leave."

"We can move after the harvest this year." Ning Ruyan breathed out. She was worried that her father and brother would think she was fooling around. Now it seems that she is overthinking. Both her father and brother support her.

The two villages she asked to relocate were both Ning's land. Because the terrain was too low, all the land was washed away by floods in the previous life. No villagers in the two villages survived.

In this life, she wanted to avoid such heavy casualties and minimize the losses.

Although there is still a year to go, she needs to prepare early.

The next day was the day when Jiang Bonian's tomb was buried. Early in the morning, the funeral procession set off from the General's Mansion and headed out of the city in a mighty manner.

The Jiang family's hometown is in Suixian County, a hundred miles away. When the eldest grandson passes away, he will be buried in the ancestral grave even if it is a grave.

However, it is not that easy to get there from the capital to Suixian County, which is a hundred miles away. What's more, as a second-grade military general, Jiang Changgong cannot leave the capital casually.

Huo's body couldn't bear her traveling long distances.

Although Ning Ruyan is married, she has no children and cannot go to her husband's ancestral grave to worship.

So, after a simple ceremony outside the city, Jiang Bowen led the team toward Sui County. He would come back after the burial of the tomb was completed.

"Ning." Huo called Ning Ruyan when she returned to the general's mansion. "Mother." Ning Ruyan stopped.

"My eldest sister has been married for two years, and now she is finally pregnant, so she couldn't come back in time. If A Nian knew about it, I'm afraid she would be very happy. As your sister-in-law and head of the family, remember to send someone to deliver gifts."

Ning Ruyan nodded: "Yes, but I don't know how much should be given. My daughter-in-law has never done this."

"Just...2000 taels."

"Yes." Ning Ruyan responded, but sneered in her heart, 2000 taels?I didn't know if Gongzhong still had 2000 taels, so I turned around and went to the accounting room, only to find that there were only 500 taels of silver that could be allocated in Gongzhong's account. Then I went to Shoukangyuan and brought all the account books over, "Mother, The public only has 500 taels left."

"Ok?"

"Didn't mother say that I would give my eldest sister a gift of two thousand? I don't have any money now."

"you……"

"Mother, it's hard for a clever woman to make a living without rice. She has no money, and her daughter-in-law can't prepare gifts."

Huo frowned and suddenly sighed: "Ning, now that you are in charge, you have to see this matter resolved." If you have money, just take it out, why should you come here to ask?
"But mother, my daughter-in-law can't solve the problem without money." Ning Ruyan just pretended to be stupid, "Don't say 2000 taels, even 500 taels can't be given. After that, our family will not be able to live. "

The corner of Huo's mouth twitched.

"I've seen it. Among the several shops in our house, only the ready-made clothing shop and the porcelain shop are profitable. The other shops not only don't make money, they even lose money every month. Such shops will last longer and longer. The longer you pay, the more you will lose.”

Huo was silent, that was indeed the case, but what could be done?Those shops were all staffed by trusted people, so there was no problem of harming the owner's family, but even if they were not profitable, there was nothing she could do.

"Mother, I have a suggestion."

"You said."

"It's better to sell the shop that is losing money."

"Sell it?" Huo's voice became louder.

"My daughter-in-law is just suggesting. After all, these shops have not made any money in the past six months, and they even have to rebate the workers' wages every month. Although it is not much, just dozens of taels per month, but it cannot last for a long time. Keep going. I’m afraid that all the money earned by those two shops will be lost.”

"This...I'll think about it."

"My wife, please retire." Ning Ruyan bowed her knees and left Shoukangyuan. In a deserted place, the corner of her mouth curled up. Without her in this life, she would take her dowry subsidy, and without her wholeheartedly reversing the losses in the business, General The government can only sell shops.

When the time comes, she can take over secretly.

Those shops are actually very good, but the reason why they don't make money is because Huo thinks that his confidants are just taking advantage of them. Unfortunately, the old lady calculated that she was a shrewd person, but she was really stupid outside.

Huo's mind was now full of selling the shop, but she couldn't make up her mind. She finally decided to discuss it with her husband, hoping that he would come up with an idea. As soon as she arrived at the door of Songzhuyuan, she heard Aunt Zhao's voice coming from inside. .
