The eldest married as a merchant's wife

310 Chapter 2 Not Like the Old Face ([-])
Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Ye supported her mother-in-law to sit firmly on the Eight Immortals chair, and the porters filed in one after another, carrying the burden to the backyard to resettle.The old lady was smoking her pipe, looking at these black and yellow people, her rustling voice was hidden in the white mist:
"...That's how it happened. Ever since Xiaoting was imprisoned in Changping Prison because of private salt, there has been a series of waves after that. It was easy to spend tens of thousands of taels of silver to get him out. Embroidery Village Things happened there immediately, one ring after another. Later, those who withdrew their shares withdrew their stocks, and those who collected their debts went after their debts; I have no hope of saving my life. I have sent several letters to the old man and your father Jingzhai, but nothing has been heard. In the end, I was forced to have no choice but to mortgage the rest of the property. Now there is only such a useless Kuo Zhaizi, hey, what a crime."

As he spoke, tears came down, and he lamented that he would eat fast and chant Buddha all his life, how could he suffer such cruel persecution when he was old.

"The business at home is too busy, how can Second Uncle allow Ah Ting to sell illegal salt with his in-laws? Why didn't Grandmother stop him that day?" Mei Xiaoyi held the teacup in his hand and asked the key point of his words.

"Isn't that the mother's cover, hiding me from me, for fear that I will ruin her son's future. Xiaoting is also my grandson, can I still harm my own grandson? Look at the whole family being dragged down like this." The old lady glared sullenly. He glanced at Ye Shi.This woman has a sharp mouth, and usually blows pillow wind to Jinghai, Jinghai is also stupid, and listens to her mother-in-law in everything.Over the years, the family business has expanded so much that outsiders think they have earned a lot of money, but in fact it is nothing more than mediocre, all thanks to the subsidies picked up by the old man and Jing Zhai.

Seeing Mei Xiaoyi's upright sitting posture, Ye's eyes were sour, and he said with a guilty conscience: "Why are you blaming me again? He is so big, why can he tell me again and again? I only found out after something happened. I have been worrying about this family for 20 years in vain, but I can’t find a good place at the end. What am I planning?”

Wiping tears, looking around, wanting to be comforted.But no one responded to her—Ms. Zhou stroking the Buddha beads and closing her eyes, whispering, the young master curled the corners of her mouth indifferently—she couldn't sit still, turned around and remained silent.

The old lady didn't bother to care about Mrs. Ye, she took a look at Wanchun, and saw that this little moth was dressed up beautifully, either in gold or jade, and yawned constantly as soon as she got home, she couldn't help frowning and asked: "Why did you lose so much weight? Give you a full meal?"

What's the point of selling land and collecting debts? Wanchun has long been impatient to listen to it. Seeing the old lady asking, she straightened her waist and smiled cleverly: "Back to the old lady, I am not used to the soil and water, and I am often sick."...The end of the illness It was Han Sheng who gave her hibiscus ointment and became addicted to it, but Wanchun didn't dare to say it.

Mei Xiaoyi didn't want to hear Wan Chun's voice, so he interrupted the conversation coldly: "Grandmother has a very close relationship with the old concubine, and the old concubine is on good terms with the empress dowager. Trapped in Mei's house. This is mysterious, there should be rumors in advance, did Second Uncle send someone to inquire about it?"

"Of course I've inquired about it, and it's said that there's a lot behind it, and it's related to some great person in Beijing." The old lady looked at Wan Chun's unsettled appearance again, stopped talking with a pipe, and asked Zhou Shi gave a look.

Knowing that this is a broken mouth that can't hold back words, Zhou stopped reciting scriptures, opened his eyes and said: "If you are tired, go back and rest first, don't be an eyesore here."

She didn't like Wanchun either, but she was actually satisfied with Xiuhe.Usually he is humble and patient with everyone, but he is straightforward and rude to Wanchun.

Wanchun can't wait to drive her away?She doesn't listen too often.After saying a thousand blessings, he lazily walked away with his waist twisted.

Mei Xiaoyi greeted Han Sheng, and Han Sheng responded with "Hey" and walked away.
