Chapter 140

Aunt Xiao's words were too straightforward, and Xiao's face immediately collapsed.

What do you mean a gift from your brother-in-law?It was Mo Zhizhao who gave them a piece of land to live in because of his own sake!

But she didn't think about herself and was still sitting next to her, didn't think about her friendship, opened her mouth and shut up her brother-in-law, where did she leave her sister?What kind of heart and mind is it that he wants his husband to have something to do with her?

Standing behind Mrs. Xiao, Yushan was also trembling with anger. While rubbing Mrs. Xiao's shoulders, she taunted with a smile on her face: "Mrs. Shen is right, you don't pay for the yard you own, and you don't take the store mortgage to pay it back. What can you do? If the master gave you the house for no reason, and if it spreads, others will think about it, thinking that you have something to do with the master. You don't care about your reputation, but the master and his wife are all husband and wife, and you can't afford to lose it. face!"

Aunt Xiao was rendered speechless by her scolding, her hands shaking into balls in her sleeves.

She originally thought that the house was given by the Mu family, and it would be burnt down if it was burned. Bleeding everywhere!
Shen Jingyu's body was on the verge of falling, and she could hardly bear it.

From the moment she heard that Aunt Xiao had mortgaged the store to the pawnshop, she felt that her life was shrouded in darkness.Now that I heard that the house was bought with my own money, and the money was mortgaged by the rent of the shop, I feel like the sky is falling.

The shops are mortgaged to the pawnshop and can be redeemed, but the rent is mortgaged to the Yamen, and all the shops will only be settled with the Yamen within three years, which means that in these three years, the mother and daughter will have no income, and they will not be able to earn a single copper coin. , not to mention the huge gambling debt owed by Aunt Xiao!
How can you not be discouraged?
How can you not despair?
Grasping the last hope, she asked in a trembling voice, "You need to use the rent of the store as collateral to buy a house. Why don't uncle discuss it with my mother? At least we can raise some money. Cash is better than renting the store!"

Mu Yunge showed a bit of surprise, tilted his head and said doubtfully: "Everyone understands the principle of paying for goods. My aunt never mentions money, and she refuses to go to the yamen with Manager Xu to go through the formalities. She must not have enough money." I'm sorry to say so clearly. My aunt also said that my father is solely responsible for the procedures for buying the yard. Naturally, it is tacitly agreed that the store lease can be used as a mortgage. How can my cousin say that I haven't discussed it with my aunt? Besides, if my aunt has cash in hand, with With my aunt's character, how could I know not to give it?"

She cut off the conversation between Aunt Xiao and Shen Jingyu, and forced them to admit that they had no cash at the time, so they had to use this method.

After listening for a while, Xiao Shi also turned around, holding back his anger, and couldn't help it.

When Ganqing Aunt Xiao bought the yard, she deliberately asked the Mu family to give money, and even hid the money if she had money.Mu Zhizhao refused to be fooled, so she used the rent of the shop as a mortgage, and she came to ask for money for the operation of the shop. If it was successful, wouldn't it be that she got the house for nothing, and made a "profit" out of nothing from Mu's family?
What a sister, she has planned and plotted the Mu family so far!

What a wolf-hearted dog, even a dog with a head knows how to wag its tail at a kind person!
Thinking of this, Xiao became furious, put the teacup heavily on the table, stood up and said: "Although the Mu family is not the world's richest, they will definitely not cheat their relatives of their money. Now that this matter has been clarified, we will continue to talk about it later." Don't mention it too!"

She left in a flick of her sleeves, Aunt Xiao couldn't get off the stage, she smiled dully, and without saying a word, brought Shen Jingyu to reward Mei Ting.

"Miss is really good at predicting things!" Seeing Aunt Xiao's departure, Manager Xu's face burst into a smile, and he admired Mu Yunge more and more so that he threw himself into the ground.

Fortunately, after listening to the young lady, the Shen family used their own money to build the yard, and even signed a document, leaving Aunt Xiao with nothing to say and no way to make a profit.Just imagine that when the Mu family paid for the yard, Aunt Xiao would definitely not appreciate it, but now she wants to bite the Mu family back and force the wife and miss to settle the money for their shop!

The more Guanshi thought about it, the more afraid he became, and he became even more shameless towards Aunt Xiao's behavior, and his contempt was undisguised.

Mu Yunge sighed, the Mu family has such relatives, it is really a lifelong injustice.She looked at Plum Appreciation Court, and said softly: "She will definitely not let it go, you should keep an eye on Plum Appreciation Court."

"I heard that Mrs. Shen owed a huge sum of money." Manager Xu hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether Mu Yunge knew about it, and told her his conjecture: "She has no income now, and the creditor is not a good person. If you are in a hurry, Mrs. Shen will definitely go astray."

"You go to do something." Mu Yunge was reminded by him, and then he had an idea: "In the afternoon, you go to each room, take back all the ornaments and antiques into the warehouse, and make a catalog for me again. Which room has them? What, write the name and serial number. If it is particularly valuable, mark it in a secret place."

Manager Xu's eyes lit up, and he turned to deal with the matter.

Aunt Xiao and Shen Jingyu returned to the garden of appreciating plums. Shen Jingyu felt sad and lay down on the bed and cried loudly.

Aunt Xiao was upset by her crying, and she kept yelling: "Cry, cry, cry, cry all day long, and crying will solve the problem, and you will have money? Give me something to do!"

"I can't even live anymore, why don't you let me cry?" Shen Jingyu almost collapsed, accusing her hoarsely: "If you weren't so fond of gambling, why would we need to live like this?"

Her face was stained with tears, her eyes were red and swollen, and she looked not miserable.After all, it was the flesh that fell from her body. No matter how much she didn’t like it, Aunt Xiao felt compassionate when she saw her crying like this. She patted her on the back and sighed: “Jingyu, I’m sorry for you, mother. Don't worry, even if I die, I won't let you live on the street. I'll go out now and find some familiar friends to borrow some money!"

Shen Jingyu nodded, got up meekly to change her clothes, and sent her out eagerly.

Aunt Xiao left Mu's house and went straight to the house of Mrs. Yang, whom she knew well.Mrs. Yang's husband is also in business. Although his family is not as good as the Mu family, it should not be a problem to borrow a few thousand taels of silver for emergencies.

When they arrived at Yang's house, they saw that the gate of Yang's house was closed tightly, and there was not even a gatekeeper.

Aunt Xiao went forward and knocked the door, and it took a long time before an old steward came to open the door. When she heard her name, her face changed slightly, and she quickly shied away: "Madam came by accident, my master took his wife for a trip, I'm afraid It will take ten days and a half months to come back."

Without waiting for Aunt Xiao to ask more questions, he immediately closed the door.

Aunt Xiao stood at the door in a daze. Unexpectedly, the first house would be so unlucky. She took a few deep breaths, pulled herself together and went to other familiar houses.

But no matter which house she went to, she had something to do, whether she was traveling, or going to sea, or going to sea, or meeting friends, she didn't even go in.After such a few times, Aunt Xiao also became aware, knowing that they were avoiding her on purpose, depressed and resentful at the same time, ready to go back home full of worries.

Passing Zuixian Tower, I accidentally looked up, and saw Mrs. Yang, Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Wang and other six or seven friends gathered in the private room on the second floor. The windows were half open, and they were talking, laughing, eating, drinking and having fun.

Aunt Xiao couldn't bear it any longer, rushed out of the carriage, and went straight to the private room on the second floor regardless of the waiter's obstruction.

"Didn't you go on a trip? Didn't you go to the sea with your husband?" Aunt Xiao rushed into the private room, angrily pointing at them one by one: "Didn't you go to the capital to meet friends, and you won't be returning to Jinling for a while. Is it because I am dazzled, and all the people sitting here are lonely ghosts?"

"How are you talking!" Mrs. Yang frowned, and looked at the waiter in disgust: "What's the matter with you, you put all the cats and dogs here, and you still barge into our private room?"

The shop waiter was sweating profusely, and kept apologizing: "Ladies and gentlemen, she insists on coming in by herself, and I can't stop her!"

Aunt Xiao sneered when she heard the words: "A cat or a dog? When you told me to buy this and that in your store, didn't you always call me sister? And you," she pointed to another wife: "Your husband wants to come from My brother-in-law bought a piece of land in his hand, and you are not flattering me like a dog? Now that I am in trouble, you all come to humiliate me, right? Are you not afraid of your conscience? "

Several wives told her that her face turned green and then pale, and Madam Yang sneered first: "That's all in the past, now your Shen Jingyu has offended someone who shouldn't be offended, and you are in debt again, and you are still counting on us Offer you up?"

Another lady also said: "It's good if you see it, so that we don't have to hide. Today, while everyone is here, we will leave it here for you. Don't come to us to borrow money, don't talk about thousands of taels. I don’t even want to lend you a dime to a gambler like you!”

Aunt Xiao was so angry that she almost went crazy, no matter what happened, she was about to rush up and beat someone.

These wives are usually the distinguished guests of Zuixianlou, the waiter couldn't tolerate Aunt Xiao's presumptuousness, so he quickly grabbed her and dragged her out.

Aunt Xiao stood at the door, tears rolling down her cheeks, her resentment was unbearable, her teeth itched with hatred and she was helpless.

Turning back to Mu's house, they saw Wu Yunyi and Hua Yang standing under the shade of a tree looking around. As soon as they saw her carriage, they walked over and forced the carriage to stop.

Aunt Xiao saw Wu Yunyi, as if she had seen a savior, she grabbed his hand and cried, "Yunyi, woohoo, how could they treat me like this? Everyone used to be so friendly, but now seeing me as unlucky, everyone will fall into trouble, I wish more Step on me a few times, how can there be such a person in this world?"

Wu Yunyi pushed her hand away, and retreated behind Huayang, smiling and not speaking.

Aunt Xiao's remaining words were stuck in her throat. Seeing his actions, her heart sank, and she said in a trembling voice, "You... what do you mean?"

"Mrs. Shen, we came here today to ask you, when will you pay back the 3000 taels you owe us?" Hua Yang blocked her view, and asked with a sly smile, "As for you and Yun Yi, he is just accompaniment. Just play around, don't take it seriously, let alone expect me to forgive you this debt for his sake!"

Aunt Xiao was stunned: "Your?"

In a flash of thought, all the past came up, she seemed to see a clue, her eyes widened suddenly, and then she sneered: "Madam Shen? Now that I have the money, don't call me Qingru, but Madam Shen? Yours? I didn’t realize until today that you all conspired to defraud me of money!”
