Rebirth of the poor elder sister-in-law

Chapter 175 Inquiry (Part [-])

After Wu Guanshi heard Liu Man'er's words, he showed a look that was as expected, but when Liu Man'er looked at him, wanting to know the answer, he groaned again and stopped talking.

"Brother Ang?" Liu Man'er reminded him again.

Manager Wu then turned his head, glanced at Liu Man'er, and said, "Actually, there is nothing to say about this. After all, we are small people. What's the use of talking about it? If people hear it, it will cause trouble instead."

But seeing Liu Man'er still looking curious, Guanshi Wu sighed and said, "The main reason why the Yan family was robbed this time was because they lost power in the court, and the political opponents found a reason to take over the old nest." .”

Liu Man'er sighed after hearing this, but asked again: "Then Brother Wu, do you know? Young Master Yan's family, how are you doing now?"

"They are all well-established wealthy families. Even if their hometown is confiscated, it is just a warning from the other party. How can it hurt the foundation of the Yan family? So shopkeeper Ye should stop worrying about us, and worry about us. yourself."

Steward Wu smiled wryly and shook his head, and said: "This time, the government just confiscated all the shops, real estate, etc. of the Yan family. The young master Yan's family is fine, but before they left, they dismissed most of the servants, leaving only The next most important thing is to accompany them to migrate, unfortunately, this old man is one of the servants who were dismissed by them."

"How can you know that it is not a blessing? Brother Ang, you used to be the steward of the Yan family. Although you looked majestic, you were doing things for others. To put it bluntly, you are just a servant. But now, Brother Ang, you have regained your freedom." Why don’t you open a shop and start a business by yourself? I believe that you, Brother Ang, have accumulated some family business over the years, right?”

Liu Man'er looked at Guanshi Wu with a half-smile. This Guanshi Wu is an old fritter. In the past, in the Yan family, he had to get kickbacks and make money. up.

"My sister's words really opened my eyes!" Wu Guanshi's expression was not good when he heard Liu Man'er's truth at the beginning, but after hearing it, he suddenly realized, and even said bluntly:
"To be honest, I have been working as a servant for a big family since I was a child, and then I have been working in Yan's family until I got into the position of steward. I never thought about opening a shop by myself. When I am young, I can work for others for another two years, and when I am old, I will go back to the countryside and buy dozens of acres of land for my whole life.”

"Now my sister's words make me no longer anxious. I mean, why didn't I think of this." Guanshi Wu said with some doubts. , he has already accumulated enough money, he can do some small business by himself.

But at this time, Sister-in-law Wu poured cold water on the sidelines, saying: "It's not that you didn't expect it, but that you don't have the talent for doing business at all. Do you think I have done business with you before? In the end, I did a business and lost a business." .”

"Uh..." Sister-in-law Wu's words hit Guanshi Wu's head like a slap in the face. Indeed, it's not that Guanshi Wu didn't think about going into business and opening a shop over the years. He also invested in it, but Without exception, it did not end in failure.

"You want to do it because you watch others do it, but you don't have the ability." Sister-in-law Wu sarcastically said.

This made Guanshi Wu feel a little unhappy, and said: "What are you talking about? I don't have this ability, but shopkeeper Ye has it? Can't I just partner with Shopkeeper Ye?"

Although these words were addressed to Sister-in-law Wu, Manager Wu looked at Liu Man'er.

Seeing that Liu Man'er didn't interrupt, shopkeeper Wu said again: "Sister, do you think so? Could it be that if you do it with you, you will make Brother Wu suffer?"

"Of course not." Liu Man'er shook her head, but said, "It's just that we lack a backer now, and it's very difficult to do business."

"Oh, that's a problem." Hearing what Liu Man'er said, Manager Wu also sighed, this time he was really thrown a bucket of cold water.

While he was sighing, he heard Liu Man'er say again: "But it's hard to do. I was thinking about reopening our restaurant at that time. If Manager Wu is willing to let me do it together, that would be great." But that's all."

"No, no, it's because I didn't think well." After hearing Liu Man'er's words, Manager Wu waved his hands and said, "Sister, you probably don't know that the county magistrate has changed, and the new county magistrate is facing The Yan family is a political enemy, our restaurant is a copy of the former Yan family, even if the county magistrate doesn't pursue it, how many people want to curry favor with the county magistrate?"

"What? The county magistrate has changed in our Liyang County?" Liu Man'er didn't know about this matter. The former county magistrate had a good relationship with her, but the new county magistrate is different.

What's more, Liu Man'er suddenly remembered her identity, although she still lived in the countryside and not many people knew about it, but these gentry and landowners all knew that she was Ye Yuan's wife, she could be regarded as the general's wife.

If she opened this restaurant, in the eyes of the new county magistrate, would she be on the side of the Yan family? Does that represent Ye Yuan's position?
Although she thought too much, she was unwilling to do anything that would be detrimental to Ye Yuan. She didn't want him to make enemies for him before he entered the officialdom.

The left and right Yan family has no major issues, but it's just a change of dojo. I'm a small family, so I'd better not get involved.

"Yes." Steward Wu nodded and said, "If we want to open a restaurant again, it's better to go to another place, why don't we go to the county town to develop?"

"I also have this intention." Although Liu Man'er agreed, but there was a sense of helplessness on her face, and said: "My mother-in-law is seriously ill now, and I have to take care of her at home. She is not well, and I don't have the heart to say goodbye things."

"Oh, that's right, all kindness and filial piety come first." Regarding Liu Man'er's words, Manager Wu expressed his understanding.

"En." Liu Man'er nodded, but said again: "If my mother-in-law's illness is cured, Brother Wu, if you are still willing to cooperate with me, I think I can wish for it."

"Okay, then it's settled." Steward Wu nodded. Although he failed to cooperate successfully with Liu Man'er today, after Liu Man'er's enlightenment, his mood finally improved a lot.

Leaving Guanshi Wu's house, Liu Man'er also sighed. After knowing that Young Master Yan's family was fine, she finally felt relieved. It's a pity that the change of county magistrate will affect her to some extent, but she is not afraid. Anyway, she is still the general's wife.

But on second thought, why does she, the general's wife, seem to have no power at all?It's not the same as before, it's just that the name is nicer, and many people don't know it, at least Guanshi Wu doesn't know it.

The people in the village were envious of their family at first, and they were a little in awe when they heard that Ye Yuan had become a general, but after this period of time, they gradually realized that everything in the Ye family was actually normal, so their attitudes became the same. It's the same as before.

There's nothing wrong with this, Liu Man'er doesn't like to talk about those vain etiquettes, and Fang doesn't say he's ignorant, and she doesn't know much about it. She thinks that her son is a general now, and he's promising, but she never thought about the general's mother How to live.

She feels that her life is very good now, and she still has maids to serve her. Of course, the advantage of Ye Yuan becoming a general is that these maids and servants in her family can finally be said to be her own maids and servants without fear of being criticized. up.

Speaking of which, Ye Yuan's fifth-rank general is several levels older than the seventh-rank county magistrate, but Ye Yuan is outside after all, he is a general, and the general is outside, so he can't control here; the county magistrate is the official who governs this area, and everything about the people Life is in their hands.What's more, the Ye family is not even considered a new rich man, and although the county magistrate's position is small, he doesn't know what kind of backing he has behind him.

It's better to give in, there is no need to misunderstand others because of a restaurant, anyway, she will be able to sell ice after a while, and by then she should be able to earn enough for Fang's medicine.

After thinking about it, he went to the shop, picked up his things, and drove back home, handed the donkey-hide gelatin to Aunt Han, and asked her to cook it for her, and put the bird's nest in the closet, and asked her to cook some bird's nest for Mrs. Fang every morning. drink.

In fact, bird's nest is a good thing for beautifying the skin, nourishing yin and tonifying the kidney, and she can drink it, but thinking about the money in her hands, it is better to let it go. Anyway, it is very good to drink goat's milk every morning.

After all, it is difficult to rely on the snack shop alone. She thought that when Fang's health improved, she would go to the county with Han Shixin to see if she could find any opportunity to reopen the restaurant. Anyway, she had experience. Opening a restaurant for the first time should be familiar with the road.

Tell Han Shixin about this matter, Han Shixin is also a little eager to try, although it is leisurely in this country, but it can be used as a long vacation. If you stay here for a long time, people will lose their fighting spirit.What's more, Liu Man'er gave him a lot of monthly silver, and seeing the current situation of the Ye family, he felt very sorry.

Liu Man'er felt that Han Shixin was indeed capable. She used to help her manage the restaurant very well, and she hardly had to worry about it. Although the restaurant is no longer there, it is always easy to rashly subtract his monthly silver. Somewhat inappropriate.

What's more, she is a woman, and many things are a bit inconvenient after all. If she really goes to the county, she will have to let Han Shixin run more errands.

The master's incompetence can't make the servants pay the bill. Although Liu Man'er bought them, she is still different from others. She still can't do some things that criticize the servants harshly, and she doesn't feel that she is superior to others. She just treats them as One's own employees are just a more reliable and loyal long-term employment relationship.
