Chapter 34
Xiao Ruan poked at the dishes in the bowl, a little absent-minded.

What is the brother most concerned about it?Well, it should be me.For her brother in the previous life...

"Brother, have you visited the shop that mother left behind?"

"No." Xiao Zhongheng was surprised, not knowing why his sister mentioned this, "What's the matter, money is tight?"

All he could think of was that the little girl would grow up and spend money on clothes and jewelry.

After all, Xiao Zhongheng is the eldest grandson of the Xiao family, so Aunt Gu dared not treat him harshly.

So in Xiao Zhongheng's impression, Aunt Gu is a person who is quite liked by his father and who takes good care of his younger sister.In the past, his younger sister also liked to mention Aunt Gu in front of him, so he had some gratitude and respect for Aunt Gu.

At this time, when his sister mentioned the shop, he couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"No, I just feel that once the emperor and the courtiers, those old people in the shop might have already had selfish intentions."

"Huh?" Xiao Zhongheng gave Xiao Ruan a hand that picked up vegetables, "Why does Ruan Er think so?"

Xiao Ruan, who didn't pay attention to expressing his true thoughts, hurriedly stuffed a piece of chicken into his mouth, and said vaguely, "I don't think that you, brother, will be admitted to fame, and you will always have some expenses of your own. When the time comes, we will ask grandma to take care of your mother." How about your dowry?"

Xiao Zhongheng couldn't help laughing, "It seems that your money is really tight these days." Seeing his sister picking up food like a little hamster, her eyes widening, his heart seemed to soften.

"However, what my sister said is right, my sister is about to reach Ji, and I still need to practice these common affairs." Xiao Zhongheng patted Xiao Ruan's head, "However, there is no need to tell grandma, let your sister-in-law go to Aunt Gu tomorrow, Take two shops to practice your hands."

Xiao Ruan suddenly burst into laughter, "Thank you brother."

"Thank you, little girl? This is what a brother should do." Xiao Zhongheng also frowned.

I didn't look at it, but I didn't expect that my brother had already piled up food in the bowl. Xiao Ruan couldn't laugh or cry, she smiled slyly, and picked up the big chicken leg in the bowl, "Brother, eat this."

Xiao Zhongheng didn't seem to notice at all that she was happy to take it carefully.

"By the way, brother, I remember that the shops left by my mother had a lot of profits and were very objective. It must be much easier for me to practice from those shops." Xiao Ruan said calmly, "When the time comes, I will write Come down, help me to my sister-in-law."

Xiao Zhongheng nodded, "Okay, listen to you."

"Well, and, since mother left these to me and you, how about taking a few for sister-in-law to take care of? As the eldest daughter-in-law of our Xiao family, sister-in-law will always be the housekeeper in the future."

Xiao Zhongheng hesitated, "Your sister-in-law, she doesn't need it."

"How can I do that?" Xiao Ruan frowned, "My brother will be an official in the future, firstly, my sister-in-law wants to stand up, how can I have no money at hand; , you have to be more free.”

Xiao Zhongheng had nothing to do with the little girl, so he had to compromise, "It's all right, I'll listen to you, it's not a big deal."

Xiao Ruan sighed in her heart, brother, do you think this is really a trivial matter.

But she had a happy look on her face, and frown again in an instant, as if she was very sad.

Xiao Zhongheng couldn't see her like this the most, pinched her little nose, "What's the matter? Didn't everyone obey you, why aren't you happy?"

"Brother, tell me, will Aunt Gu not want to give us a shop?" Xiao Ruan pretended to be troubled.

"How could it be? Although the mother's dowry should have been waited until you reached Ji, but now it's not long before you reach Ji, it's just a matter of time."

My silly brother, Xiao Ruan turned his head to look at Xiao Zhongheng with very loving eyes, and when Xiao Zhongheng looked over, he lowered his head and guided, "But, if I bring all the profitable shops here, in the future the public will If there is less income, Aunt Gu will definitely not agree."

"What does this have to do with the public? Sooner or later it will be in your hands. What's the difference?"

Xiao Ruan immediately hated that iron cannot be made into steel, you want to touch something that others have long regarded as their own, how could others allow it.

However, she could only patiently say, "Brother, think about it, this shop has always been run by Aunt Gu, and [-]% of the profit is handed over to the public. If we suddenly pull out these shops, Aunt Gu will have to redistribute the plan. Sometimes it’s time to ask grandma’s consent.”

Xiao Zhongheng didn't expect it to be so troublesome, "Is it like this?"

"Yes, yes." Xiao Ruan nodded hurriedly, like a chicken pecking at rice.

Xiao Zhongheng was amused, although he didn't worry about these things, he wasn't stupid either.

After understanding Xiao Ruan's meaning, he thought more, his younger sister was about to reach Ji, Aunt Gu was just an aunt after all.The younger sister's marriage will eventually fall on the grandmother, no matter how bad it is, it will be Pei Yuemei.

Judging from this, his wife is indeed about to stand up.

In addition, the younger sister lost her mother since she was young, so if the younger sister's in-laws don't want to say anything, the dowry must be thicker.Although there is a dowry left by my mother, I can't really just sit and eat.

In this way, he has to pay more attention to this aspect.

Thinking of my sister worrying about these things at such a young age, Xiao Zhongheng was full of pity, "Don't worry, sister, brother will take care of these things, you just need to eat and sleep well every day, and be happy."

Xiao Ruan lingered for a moment under Xiao Zhongheng's somewhat solemn eyebrows, and then nodded with a smile.It's good to be able to pay attention to it, and I don't want my brother to be able to see through the twists and turns of the family immediately, but it takes a little bit of attention.

After Xiao Zhongheng left, he thought of Xiao Ruan's words repeatedly in his mind, he didn't notice it at first, but after thinking about it like this, he became aware of Xiao Ruan's guard against Aunt Gu.

Thinking that Xiao Ruan had said good things about Aunt Gu in front of him some time ago, but today he suddenly changed his attitude, he was tense, could it be that something happened at the spring banquet this time?
"Young master, do you want to go to the study to study for a while?" It was Yun Xia who spoke.

Yunxia just came some time ago, and the two who just arrived today are still with Pei Yuemei.However, Xiao Zhongheng didn't know about these, he didn't spend enough time on reading, so he didn't pay much attention to these.

Naturally, he didn't know that his wife had a fight with Xiao Ruan because of this matter.

"Go to Young Mistress's place." Xiao Zhongheng said absently.

Yunxia's face turned ugly for a moment, but she didn't say anything.

Pei Yuemei was naturally very pleasantly surprised to see her husband, and even more surprised when she heard her husband say that her sister-in-law let her take charge of the two shops together.

"Husband, this is what Ruan Er said."

"Of course, I think what Ruan'er said makes sense. After all, you are going to be the head of the house in the future, so it's good to practice your hands now. These are some of the better locations that Ruan'er wrote down. Go tell Aunt Gu tomorrow." Xiao Zhongheng handed Xiao Ruan a list of him to Pei Yuemei.

After finishing the words, he thought for a while and said, "If you encounter something, you can sum it up with Ruan Er. If it doesn't work, I'll settle it when I come back at night."

Pei Yuemei looked at the row of shops on the list and felt her heart beating faster.

He didn't understand the meaning of Xiao Zhongheng's last sentence at all, he just said in a big way, "Don't worry, my husband, I will definitely take care of this matter for my sister-in-law."

She also thought that since her sister-in-law was willing to take the initiative to make friends with her, she would also be willing to turn over the previous story.As long as this sister-in-law doesn't do anything disobedient in the future.

But Pei Yuemei didn't know that she went to find Aunt Gu excitedly the next day, but she didn't expect that Aunt Gu would beat her back.What else to say, she can't decide this matter, the old lady has to agree.

This is when she is ignorant, the dowry of the mistress of the house has long been said to be for her own children, and she is only using a small part of it for practice, so why must the old lady agree to give it.

Pei Yuemei was very angry with Aunt Gu, so she didn't notice that she and Xiao Ruan were still in a cold war, and went to Xiao Ruan's yard in a few steps.

With a "snap", Pei Yuemei lowered the teacup in her hand, "Tell me, what does she mean by this? Could it be that the butler has been in charge of it for a long time, so she thinks it's hers? But an aunt, she still plays tricks on me. "

Xiao Ruan has always known that Pei Yuemei is gentle on the outside, and she is used to pretending to be gentle, but in fact she speaks directly to people's hearts.

Usually, only she was pissed off by this sister-in-law, but now hearing her talking about Mrs. Gu, it was the first time that Xiao Ruan felt that Pei Yuemei's shabby settlement was attractive to others.

She tilted her head and glanced at Zhuyun, Zhuyun understood, leaned over and refilled Pei Yuemei's tea.

Xiao Ruan had many concerns at the previous spring banquet, so she didn't bring Zhuyun with her afterwards.

Now that she is grounded, she needs Lianqiao Linglong to help her with some things on her mobile phone, so she brings Zhuyun with her again.

At least Zhuyun is steady, sometimes she doesn't need to say anything to understand her meaning.

"Maybe she thinks that I don't need such a good shop to practice my hands."

Pei Yuemei is different from Xiao Zhongheng, Xiao Zhongheng is a gentleman, he won't be suspicious if he is trusted by others; although Pei Yuemei is confused about major issues, but in terms of his own interests, he does not allow others to touch him.

Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Ruan's words came out, Pei Yuemei's expression changed. She looked at the list in her hand thoughtfully, "Little sister, take a rest, sister-in-law has something to do." After saying that, she hurried away.

Xiao Ruan glanced at the tea that Pei Yuemei hadn't touched, "Clean it up."

She knew what Pei Yuemei was going to do, after all, what was written on her list were all the profitable shops that Aunt Gu had already taken as her own.

At this time, Aunt Gu has not yet started to handle the transfer work, that is, not long after Jiji, these shops will be resold to others due to poor management, and this other person is just Aunt Gu's means of going out with her left hand and entering with her right hand.

After Pei Yuemei knew how profitable these shops were, how could she let her things be guarded by others with her temperament.

As for whether Pei Yuemei will betray her and her brother, there is no need to worry about that.After all, Pei Yuemei didn't abandon her brother in the situation she was in in her previous life.

This is because although she is extremely dissatisfied with this sister-in-law, she has never thought about asking her brother to divorce his wife and remarry.

In her previous life, Xiao Ruan knew that Pei Yuemei was empty and had a gentle appearance, but inside she was an idiot who couldn't be put on the table.Even because the marriage was instigated by Gu Shi, Pei Yuemei became more affectionate to Gu Shi.

Especially when it comes to major issues, she is not clear about it, and gradually she is led by Gu Shi to have no idea, which makes the maids in the family jump up and down, making a mess of smoke.If it hadn't been for Gu's revealing his true colors later on, I don't know what kind of fool this idiot would be.

Fortunately, she has a contentious temperament, as long as she re-polishes Pei Yuemei's temperament, she may not be a helper.

Even if, even if it fails, it won't be more miserable by the previous life.

Let her see how capable Pei Yuemei is.
