Queen of Nongmen: Hexagrams determine the universe

Chapter 283 Mrs. Ye Came to Ask for Money

Among the bandits captured by Commander Xu, some volunteered to lead the way up the mountain in order to escape death.

With them leading the way, going up the mountain became an easy task.

The bandits who led the way had knives around their necks, which made them dare not cheat, so they took them up the mountain obediently.

At this time, the village on the top of the mountain was empty, even the old and weak women and children of the Thieves Gang ran away.

It's just because the high-level figures in the gang of thieves have absconded through secret passages, and no one was caught. Therefore, the property found in the gang of thieves is also very limited. Commander Xu led people to search the mountain all afternoon. No one found out where the 10 taels of silver were hidden.

In desperation, he had no choice but to make an example of others.

It's just that people didn't kill less.

Where the money went is still unknown.

This time, Commander Xu panicked.

If the silver is not found for a day, it will be used by someone with a heart, saying that he found the charity money but refused to hand it over to the Yamen, and took it all into his own pocket.

By that time, the black gauze hat on his head might be lost.

Ye Qiongdan and Xu Mingzhu didn't expect things to turn out like this. For a while, Ye Qiongdan felt a little regretful.

I regretted that I acted too hastily, but now, I put the people around me in a dilemma.

However, Commander Xu understood that she could not be blamed for this matter, so he could only order the people under him to continue looking for Yinzi!
Qinghe County, Ye House.

After a long absence, You Yue'e made a dinner by herself, and was sitting anxiously at the table, waiting for Ye Qiongdan to come back for dinner.

At this time, there was a knock on the door in the distance.

She stood up quickly and ran to open the door.

The neighbor Mrs. Zhou stood outside the door. When Mrs. Zhou saw You Yue'e, she smiled and said, "Ye Youshi, your eldest niece is fine! I will follow you to see Peacock Mountain this afternoon..."

Mrs. Zhou told the ins and outs of the matter, which made You Yue'e break out in a cold sweat. She patted her chest: "That's really good!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a carriage parked on the main road.

The coachman lifted the curtain and helped an old lady down.

As soon as You Yue'e saw Mrs. Ye, her face immediately changed, and said to Mrs. Zhou in a hurry: "I still have something to do, let's talk another day, I'll go in first."

Saying that, You Yue'e couldn't wait to close the door.

Unexpectedly, the old lady saw her with sharp eyes.

"You Yue'e, you bastard! Seeing your mother-in-law coming, how dare you close the door?" Mrs. Ye yelled while leaning on her crutches, "It's really getting more and more out of the way, and I don't understand the rules of the village. Do you want me to teach you with a rattan cane? You lose money if you can’t kill him! You can’t give birth to a son, and you don’t know how to find a rope to hang yourself, and you dare to close the door in front of me, it’s against you!"

Seeing that Mrs. Ye spoke so harshly and looked like a rural shrew, Mrs. Zhou immediately frowned in disgust and planned to step aside.

However, before she could stand up, she heard Mrs. Ye say again: "Give me 200 taels of silver!"

"Mom, what do you mean?" You Yue'e became angry from the heart, "I just brought you the money this morning, why did you start asking me for money again? It's not like a strong wind blows our family's money Yes, and there is no silver mine at home, you might as well go to the warehouse of the Yamen to grab the silver, it will come faster!"

"Little aunt, you live near here, then I have to tell you, let's talk about my eldest granddaughter..." Mrs. Ye yelled maliciously.

Her voice was so loud that not only Mrs. Zhou could hear it, but even the servants of almost everyone who lived nearby poked their heads out and looked over curiously.

"Mom!" You Yue'e was furious, and dragged Mrs. Ye into the yard, "Let's go in and talk slowly! We can discuss things!"

"Then call her in and let's listen to it together! It's not something shameful, second daughter-in-law, don't you think so?" Mrs. Ye said proudly while supporting her aching waist.

"Mom! I'll give you money, I'll give you money right now!" You Yue'e said through gritted teeth, and closed the door of the house.

Mrs. Ye nodded and sat under the big tree in the yard.

When You Yue'e went to get the money, she smelled the smell of food in the kitchen, so she couldn't wait to get into the kitchen with a cane, and started to eat secretly.

After You Yue'e took the silver, she said angrily when she came in: "Mother, look at how you turned the dishes? How can others eat this?"

"Bah! Give it to someone else? There's a pile of chicken, duck and fish on the table, shouldn't I eat all of it?" Mrs. Ye asked displeasedly.

"Elder people should eat less greasy food, it's not good for the stomach." You Yue'e said lukewarmly.

"Then I'll take it back and eat slowly!" Mrs. Ye snorted coldly.

How could You Yue'e let her get what she wished, and immediately came over to serve the plate, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Ye was even worse than her, she just opened her mouth and spit into the plate.

Now, these dishes can't be eaten.

Mrs. Ye naturally didn't dislike her saliva. She opened the cupboard and found two food boxes for vegetables, and stuffed all the meat and vegetables on the table into the food boxes. I got a food box.

"Where's the money? Bring it here!" Mrs. Ye said arrogantly.

You Yue'e swallowed and took out the bank note she was holding tightly, and handed it to Mrs. Ye.

Mrs. Ye put a food box on the ground, reached out to take the bank note, looked at it, and then stuffed it into her arms.

"Hmph! You're smart, I'll come back to get the money in a few days!"

You Yuee was trembling with anger. Her second daughter worked hard every day to manage the wild bracken and pig offal in Yiling County. In the middle of the night.

The money they earned so hard went into this wicked woman's pocket for nothing, it's simply too deceitful!

Just when Mrs. Ye was about to leave with two food boxes, You Yue'e couldn't bear it and asked: "Mother, have you thought about it? Girl Xue and Girl Hai are both your granddaughters. You take them to blackmail their hard-earned money, is there any grandma like you?"

"It's just two losers! Don't talk about taking their money, I don't feel bad! Even if they kill them, I don't feel bad! Without me, can I have their father? Without their father, can I have them? They can be born, In the final analysis, it was all because I gave birth to her father! So what if I killed them? They owe me that too!" Mrs. Ye said indifferently with half-closed eyelids.

"Then what do you want?" You Yue'e shouted loudly, "How much do you want? Say the number, can you stop torturing us again and again? We follow here every day in fear, you say you will At such an old age, why can't you accumulate some evil virtues for yourself? Aren't you afraid that your next life will be a hundred times more miserable than this one?"

"I will come again another day." Mrs. Ye had a serious face, extremely cold-blooded.

Even Ye Fengxian, her most beloved eldest son, is so selfish that she is not allowed to exploit her two granddaughters?
How can there be such a reason in the world?
The old man is unreliable, he only knows how to ask his family members to make sacrifices in order to confess a juren.

If she wants to retire safely and comfortably, she still has to figure it out by herself.

This You Yue'e looks fine, but has a fatal weakness, blackmailing her could not be better.

Anyway, there are not many ways, as long as it works!
Her old lady has lived most of her life, and half of her body has been buried in the loess, so how can she care about anything?

The hard-earned money of the two granddaughters will be squeezed out. Anyway, she won't live for many years. When she enters the coffin, won't the two girls be relieved?
After Mrs. Ye went out, Ye Fengshun, who had been hiding in the room silently doing carpentry work, came out quietly, then knelt down for Mrs. Ye at the entrance of the alley, and cried for a long time.

But Mrs. Ye was hard-hearted and unmoved, she kicked Ye Fengshun away and went to the bank to deposit the bank notes.

After leaving the bank, Mrs. Ye was stopped by a man: "Old lady, hello, I am a clerk of Wanshi Commercial Bank, and the manager of Wanshi Commercial Bank in Qinghe County invites you to go to Quanfulou for dinner. You talk about something."

"Wan's Firm?" Mrs. Ye shuddered when she heard this, "But...I, I don't know any Wan's Firm."

Wan's firm is also a well-known big firm in the north, its strength is second only to Wu's chamber of commerce. In the eyes of ordinary people like Mrs. Ye, it is equivalent to a big man who can control their life and death.

"Old lady, it's a good thing!" The man took out ten taels of silver from his sleeve and handed it over.

Mrs. Ye's eyelids were shallow, and when she saw the ten taels of silver, she couldn't help but reached out and grabbed it, and then bit it with a few scattered teeth.

After verifying the authenticity, she nodded, her deflated mouth curled up.

"Then let's go?" the man asked inquiringly.

"Let's go!" Mrs. Ye said hastily.

The man clapped his hands, and immediately, a carriage slowly drove over.

The coachman helped the old lady into the car, and afterward, the man also got into the car.

Soon, the carriage arrived at Quanfulou.

After Mrs. Ye got out of the car, she said braggingly: "This Quanfulu building is magnificent, and even though I, an old lady, is dressed very plainly, I can barely be regarded as one of the Quanfulu buildings. Master! Do you know why? Because of my granddaughter Ye Qiongdan, she has [-]% of the shares in Quanfulou, and every month she can draw a percentage in Quanfulou, which has made a lot of money on this day! My granddaughter shares The restaurant, isn't that the restaurant where I have a shareholding?"

"The old lady is right." The man nodded and carefully helped her upstairs.

The old lady's thinking was a bit rigid, and she didn't want a man to help her up the stairs, after all, this was in public.

But her waist is so unbearable, it hurts badly when the long stairs are supported by everyone.

In desperation, she had no choice but to put on a straight face and let the man help her up.

The man brought her into a private room on the second floor. At this time, there was already a person sitting in the private room. This person was the general manager of Wanshi Commercial Bank in Qinghe County, and his surname was Zhou.
