When Aunt Yuan saw Aunt Zhong come back, she was very surprised, but she didn't show it on her face. She knew that there must be a secret between Aunt Zhong and the Huo family, but they kept it from her.

However, she knew that Aunt Zhong was here to ask for money.

So, taking this opportunity, she mentioned selling the shop.

Huo was moved when she heard this, but she still hesitated.

"Madam, this old slave doesn't know how to run a business. However, another one has opened across from our tea shop. The business was okay at first, but now? Putting aside the labor and costs, how much more can we make?" said Aunt Yuan. He secretly looked at Huo's face and said, "When I went to get some silver a few days ago, I heard from the shopkeeper that there was a wealthy businessman from the south who was interested in our shop. He asked someone to ask, and he was willing to pay 1000 taels for the shop. It’s been collected.”

"Ten taels?"

"That's what the shopkeeper said. He said he was interested in the foundation. Of course, it's been several days. I don't know if they have bought something more suitable or if they still want ours." Aunt Yuan Grandma sighed.

"let me see."

Aunt Yuan respectfully withdrew.

Huo wanted to discuss it with her husband, but Jiang Changgong didn't want to take care of anything now. He couldn't go to the battlefield anyway, so now he just wanted to live a few more days.

As for the situation in the house, just let Huo make the decision, as long as he doesn't short-change his food and clothing expenses.

"General, the government is already stretched thin." Huo took a deep breath, "If there is no new income, the monthly salary you get as a general will not be enough."

"If it's not enough, just go earn it." Jiang Changgong was annoyed, "You've been in charge of this family for decades, and now you can't do it? If you can't, then find someone who can."

"But……"

"Okay, don't bother me." Jiang Changgong waved his hand impatiently, "The boss's wife has money, hasn't she been paying for it before? Why don't you just let her be the head of the house? You must keep it tight."

"I……"

"I want to rest." Jiang Changgong turned around and entered the inner room.

Huo was so angry that she wanted to scream, but the general's wife's airs had held her back all her life, and her self-proclaimed qualities prevented her from acting like a shrew. In the end, she could only hold her chest and leave Songzhuyuan.

"Madam, just now Aunt Zhong came over again to ask when she can leave the capital." Aunt Yuan spoke in a low voice.

Huo didn't say anything, feeling extremely uncomfortable, but she didn't think it was their incompetence. Instead, she blamed Ning Ruyan in her heart. You said you paid before, wouldn't it be bad to continue to pay now?

Aunt Yuan glanced at Huo's face and knew that it was not easy to talk too much at this time.

"Go to Wutong Courtyard." After taking a few steps, Huo suddenly changed direction.

Aunt Yuan could only support the person and walk towards the direction of Wutong Courtyard.

"Mom." At this moment, a group of people walked over, led by Jiang Mingzhu, "Are you going to see the Ning family?"

"That's your sister-in-law."

"Okay." Jiang Mingzhu waved her hand, "Why are you looking for her?"

"Why are you here?" Huo frowned, "You're already healthy, so don't run around."

"Don't worry, I'm not very old now, so it's good to move around." Jiang Mingzhu didn't care.

"When will the son-in-law come over?" "He...will only be here for a few days." A flash of discomfort flashed in Jiang Mingzhu's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

Huo, who was thinking about other things, didn't notice anything. Instead, she nodded: "You have been married for two years and finally got pregnant, but you need to take good care of the pregnancy. If this baby is a son, you The position will be stable."

"I know." Jiang Mingzhu nodded slightly impatiently.

"Go back quickly. When your son-in-law comes, you also have to pay homage to your eldest brother." Huo was about to leave after saying that.

"Mom, are you looking for her? I'll go with you."

"what are you going to do?"

"My sister-in-law has been back for two days, and she hasn't said anything?" Jiang Mingzhu curled her lips, "Didn't she belong to the richest family in Jiangnan? Even if the Ning family is not the richest now, they must still be rich. I and I You go and see."

Huo was in a bad mood originally, but now it was even worse because of her daughter's angry words. She stood there and closed her eyes for a moment before she recovered: "What are you talking about? What? Are you tired of the Yang family's shortcomings?" Then should I ask your in-laws..."

"Mom, what are you talking about?" Jiang Mingzhu hurriedly interrupted Huo's words, "I just said casually, OK, I won't go if I don't go. I'm tired, I'm going back." Then she turned around and walked away. .

Huo frowned as she looked at her nimble daughter, and glanced at Aunt Yuan, but in the end she swallowed what she was about to say and headed straight towards Wutong Courtyard.

Wutong Courtyard was busy at this time. After Zisu came back, Ning Ruyan pulled her to be their instructor.

Zisu originally thought that everyone was just fooling around, but after hearing that the eldest lady almost had an accident, she stopped playing around and really started to seriously teach the people in Wutong Courtyard, not only Pinellia Angelicae Xiaoshan Xiaohua, Even the janitor's mother-in-law has to follow suit.

Although everyone felt that it was a bit of a fuss, they knew it was for the best of the eldest lady, so no one complained.

The martial arts training venue is in the backyard, and there is no one in front, so it is closed.

When Mrs. Huo arrived at the entrance of Wutong Courtyard, she saw the closed door and couldn't help but frown: "What's going on inside? Why is the door closed at this time?"

Aunt Yuan shook her head and motioned to a little girl who was following her to come forward and knock on the door.

But after knocking for a long time, no one responded.

"Where are the people?" Mrs. Huo was a little annoyed, "If you can't open it again, let someone come and tear down the door."

Wutong Courtyard is a courtyard with three entrances. The backyard is a certain distance from the front yard, and the people in the backyard are busy, so it is normal not to hear the knocking on the front door.

After knocking for a long time but no one came to open the door, Mrs. Huo got really angry and called the housekeeper directly: "Tear down this door."

The housekeeper Jiang Cheng was a little confused: "Madam, is this... demolished?"

"Tear it down." Huo waved his hand.

So, the housekeeper hurriedly summoned a group of servants to come and break down the door.

The noise of the door being opened was louder than the knocking, but it was Zisu who heard it first. She was the first to run over and take a look. She was also confused when she saw it: "Old lady, what are you doing?"

Ning Ruyan also got the news and rushed over. Looking at the door that had been dismantled, her face was a little ugly: "Mother, what does this mean?"

At this moment, Huo felt that what she did was a bit impulsive, but she had already done it, and she would not admit her mistake. Then her face darkened: "Ning, what do you have the nerve to tell me? I've been knocking on the door here for a quarter of an hour. No one came to open the door. I thought something happened inside. Are all your servants dead?" (End of Chapter)
