The daughter of the splendid good fortune is respected

Chapter 370 The Shocking Inside Story (1)
"Old lady, calm down." Xiao Mingzhen stood up, "Old lady, you can't accuse my mother of a crime just because of Second Aunt's specious remarks."

After a pause, Xiao Mingzhen asked Mrs. Tan, "Mother, tell everyone how much cash you have at home. Where did the money go? It can't be used for loan sharks, right? They must be talking nonsense." Eight ways, right?"

Tan's face was pale, and his expression was like a mourning concubine, which made it hard to bear to look directly at.But Tan still didn't speak.Xiao Mingzhen was full of hope at first, but he saw from Tan's flustered eyes that things were not that simple.Could it be that what they said is true, Tan really put loan sharks outside.

Xiao Mingzhen took a deep breath, "Mother, tell me, no matter what happens, the son will stand by Mother's side. If there is a son, Mother need not be afraid."

Tan suddenly burst into tears.

Xiao Mingyu sighed, never thought that a simple matter of saving lives would involve so many things.Although Tan didn't say anything, there are nine out of ten things about usury being true.It is estimated that there are other unseen things.

Xiao Mingyu looked at Xiao Mingzhen worriedly, if this happened, could Xiao Mingzhen still manage things well?Xiao Mingyu frowned, wave after wave, the Xiao family couldn't stop.Look at how Sifang and his wife are gearing up, obviously wanting to bite off a piece of meat from Dafang's body.As for Mrs. Xie of the second room, her purpose is not pure, she just came to disrupt the situation.With Erfang's financial resources, he was only willing to pay a mere 2 taels of silver. Either he was sure, or he didn't care about Xiao Maotong's safety.Xiao Mingyu tended towards the former, obviously Xiao Maotong really just lived in the yamen for a few days.

The old lady Xiao was impatient, "Crying, you know how to cry. Crying for funerals? Why don't you hurry up and explain, where did you get all the money from our Xiao family? Did you take the family's money and go out to put loan sharks? If you don’t tell me, if you don’t tell me you’re old, let someone go directly to your big house to search.”

Xiao Maoheng looked excited, "Old lady, my son will take someone to the big house to search. Since the sister-in-law is depositing loan sharks outside, there must be all kinds of receipts. I don't believe it can't be found."

"Who told you to go." Mrs. Xiao scolded Xiao Maoheng.Then he said to Mrs. Tan: "Boss, daughter-in-law, do you want to explain it yourself, or let the old man do something to your eldest wife? You have to think about it clearly. The old man has limited patience. The old man is waiting for money to save his life. The old man has no time to share with you You consume."

Xiao Maoyang was more blunt, "What is the old lady talking about with her? I think you can report directly to the government and let someone come from the yamen. Hmph, it is unreasonable to dare to release usury outside and ruin the reputation of our Xiao family. Sister-in-law, you are too It's disappointing. A sister-in-law is like a mother, I have always respected you very much. But I didn't expect you to be such a person, it's really embarrassing."

"That's right, sister-in-law, you are really disgusting." Liao smiled sarcastically, "My sister-in-law used to say things with plausibility, but now she is dumb. Feel guilty, and if you are guilty, tell the truth quickly, or we won't let you go Yes. Sister-in-law, do you think you’ll be fine if you don’t open your mouth? Hmph, if such a big thing happened, why don’t you hurry up and save people with money? Are you trying to kill the old man? If the big brother in the capital knows what you did Everything, what do you think big brother will think? You will be light if you rest."

Mrs. Tan looked at Mrs. Liao indifferently, "Fourth siblings, at least you should have some morals."

"I want to be virtuous, but the premise is that sister-in-law should stand upright. My sister-in-law tells us the rules on weekdays, but I didn't expect that my sister-in-law's rules are like this. Oh, today is really an eye-opener." Liao laughed mockingly He said, "Sister-in-law, hurry up and explain. Didn't you see that the old lady is mad at you? If you don't explain, we will take people to search your big house."

Xiao Mingzhen frowned, "Mother, it doesn't matter. Saving people is the most important thing now, and other things can be discussed later. Mother, no matter how much cash you have at home, let's take it out first."

Gritting her teeth, Tan looked at Mrs. Xiao and gave it a go. "Old lady, my daughter-in-law is at fault."

The old lady Xiao sneered, "Boss daughter-in-law, you are finally willing to speak. It is really rare. Tell me, how much cash is there in the house?"

"Reporting to the old lady, the current silver in the mansion is less than 1 taels." Tan said boldly.

"You are simply presumptuous." Mrs. Xiao slapped the table on the spot.

Xiao Mingyu sighed secretly, no wonder Mrs. Tan dared not speak.The Xiao family, with a big family and a great business, has less than 1 taels of silver in the house. Is this the rhythm of prodigal families?You know, big families don't like to store their silver in the bank, because saving money in the bank needs to give the bank interest.Besides, the world is not stable, so it is convenient to keep money at home.The reason why the silver used by the Xiao family's business on a weekly basis is placed in the bank is for the convenience of doing business.Xiao Mingyu knew that every month, a sum of money would be sent to the Xiao family for deposit in the mine and outside business.Xiao Mingyu didn't know exactly how much this money was.It is estimated that no one knows the five-bedroom and four-bedroom.Those who really know the exact number are the steward of the cashier, Xiao Minghui, Mr. Xiao, and Mrs. Tan.As for whether Mrs. Xiao is clear, Xiao Mingyu dare not confirm.

Year after year, month after month, this sum of money has accumulated up to now, and the amount must be astonishing.Even if Mr. Xiao misappropriated it, Xiao Mingyu initially estimated that a dozen or 20 taels could be taken out.

Ten thousand versus 20, no wonder everyone couldn't believe it.At first, he thought he was a rich man, but in the end, Mrs. Tan shattered everyone's dream of being a rich man with one sentence.

Liao yelled first, "Less than 1 taels? Sister-in-law, have you emptied our Xiao family's property?"

Mrs. Xie said: "It's almost the same without evacuation. It is said that the interest on loan sharks is very high. Let alone the monthly interest is three to five percent. A few 10 taels of silver are used as the capital. After a few months, the interest alone is one It's a huge profit. Tsk tsk, money touches people's hearts, you are right. Sister-in-law, you can't be too greedy. You see that you have suffered a lot now."

Tan gritted his teeth and stared at Xie. Xie came here on purpose to add insult to injury.Mrs. Xie raised her eyebrows, and looked at Mrs. Tan with a half-smile. She was here to make trouble, so what could Mrs. Tan do with her.Tan's self-righteousness is not upright, so why not let others say it?

Mrs. Liao was shocked, "A few 10 taels of capital, wouldn't there be thousands of taels of interest in a month?"

"Who says no. Sister-in-law is a rich man. I don't think anyone in our Xiao family's east and west residences is richer than sister-in-law." Xie said with a smile.

Liao was dizzy, frightened, and even mad with jealousy.Exchanging eyes with Xiao Maoheng, no matter what means are used, they must take advantage of this opportunity to drive Da Fang down.Absolutely no longer allow Mrs. Tan to be in charge of the house.As for the fifth room, Liao took a look.Since Wufang was not active at the beginning, then this benefit will not come to Wufang.
