Chapter 131: Rong Juren and deal with the aftermath
Tu Biao stood by the wall and listened to the Qi family.
Old Mrs. Rong tugged at his sleeves and frowned: "That bitch Xu Yuanniang went to the Fan family. Didn't you say that you were quiet? Could it be that they discovered her?"
Tu Biao said with an ugly face: "Auntie, I was very careful. You were also in the yard at that time. You didn't hear anything."
Mrs. Rong frowned. It was true that there wasn't much movement, but the Qi family had moved to the Fan family. Their plans would definitely not come true. She could only lower her voice and said, "Didn't you leave anything behind?"
Tu Biao quickly shook his head.
Mrs. Rong nodded and said: "Okay, then you can leave quickly while there is no one outside."
Tu Biao said unwillingly: "Aunt."
Rong's wife patted him on the shoulder and said, "What are you doing standing there? You don't know that the Qi family are gangsters. If it doesn't work this time, if they find out about our little tricks, the whole county will know about it."
"Isn't there a cousin?" Tu Biao muttered.
Mrs. Rong rolled her eyes at him and said, "Your cousin is not omnipotent."
Tu Biao could only go back.
Mrs. Rong closed the door and returned to the bed, lowering her voice and saying, "Mr., my cousin seems to have done something."
Rong Juren frowned and looked at Mrs. Rong.
Mrs. Rong said slowly: "I saw my cousin and mother-in-law standing in the corner looking at the Qi family and muttering something. My cousin left quietly just now, but his face was not very good."
She carefully looked at Rong Juren's expression and said, "I'm worried that your husband will be implicated."
Rong Juren frowned, and after a long while he sighed: "Why don't you go out and see if anything happens outside?"
Mrs. Rong nodded quickly. When she went out again,
Old Mrs. Rong was no longer in the courtyard. When she opened the courtyard door, she heard the lively voices from the Fan family, but there was no movement from the Qi family. She turned her eyes, thought about it and walked out to take a look. I found Xu Yuanniang and the others chopping vegetables at Fan's house.
After a moment's thought, she knew there was something wrong here, and she quickly went back to explain the matter.
Rong Juren closed his eyes slightly and said, "Go and call your mother."
Mrs. Rong was a little worried, but she didn't dare to go against her husband's words, so she obeyed and called for someone.
When Old Mrs. Rong saw Mrs. Rong, she was angry and scolded her several times.
"Grandma Qi." Yuan Anyu approached and called Xu Yuanniang.
Xu Yuanniang smiled and said, "What's wrong?"
Yuan Anyu leaned into her ear and whispered a few words.
Xu Yuanniang's expression remained unchanged, she turned to Mrs. Yang and Ming Zongniang and said, "I have something to do over there. I'll be back soon."
After saying that, she followed Yuan Anyu back to the courtyard. When she entered the courtyard, she saw Rong Juren sitting in the main room.
When Rong Juren saw Xu Yuanniang, he stood up slowly and saluted: "Auntie."
Seeing how polite he was, Xu Yuanniang didn't see any embarrassment on his face. She smiled lightly and said, "Rong Juren is trying to offend me. You are the Master of Juren. How can I bear your courtesy?"
The honorary candidate said slowly: "You can bear it. You are an elder and you deserve it."
Xu Yuanniang looked at Yuan Anyu, then looked at Rongju Ren again and said, "Rongju Ren, what do you want to do with my old lady?"
Rong Juren stared at Xu Yuanniang and said: "Aunt, what happened last night was because of my cousin's fault. Since the damage has not been done yet, I can show my aunt a noble hand. Don't worry, after this time, I will make an appointment."
Keep your family in check. "
The smile on Xu Yuanniang's face faded a little and she said: "Rong Juren, the old lady also knows that people don't tell secrets. I'm afraid you can't restrain your mother. After all, for those of you who are scholars, reputation is very important. Your mother is a shrew. She If a quarrel breaks out, you won’t be able to do anything to her then.”
Rong Juren was stunned. He didn't expect Xu Yuanniang to speak so directly, and she was not as angry as she imagined. She thought highly of Qi's family.
Rong Juren replied: "If she doesn't change, then our family will move."
Xu Yuanniang looked at Rong Juren suspiciously.
The Rongju candidate said helplessly: "My aunt also knows my situation. I'm afraid I won't be able to take the imperial examination in this life. If it weren't for the sake of the children, I would have gone back to my hometown. Don't worry, my mother knows the importance."
"Moreover, if you hold this handle, it will be a hundred benefits to you without any harm."
Xu Yuanniang thought for a while and then nodded.
The honorable candidate bowed again and left.
After the people left, Xu Yuanniang became a little annoyed and said: "Dalang, do you think I agreed too quickly? The Rong family seems to have suffered no loss at all. No matter what, we must let their family shed some blood."
Yuan Anyu smiled slightly and said: "Grandma Qi, the apology gift for the honorary candidate is placed on the table."
Sure enough, Xu Yuanniang saw a box on the table. When she opened the box, she found that there were 50 taels of silver in it.
"Hey, he is so rich." She took out the silver and took a bite. It was true.
Yuan Anyu also laughed when he saw this.
"But it would be better if the Tu family didn't compete with us for business." Xu Yuanniang muttered in a low voice.
But Yuan Anyu said slowly: "Grandma Qi, even if there is no Tu family, there are still
Others, let the Tu family compare with us, others are willing to buy our house, but if it were someone else, it would be troublesome. "
Xu Yuanniang rolled her eyes and felt that what Yuan Anyu said made sense. She looked at Yuan Anyu with satisfaction and said, "Dalang, you scholars are different. There are no female students here. Our family is also smart. If we go there again, If you study in the school for a while, you will be invincible when you come out."
Yuan Anyu smiled lightly and said: "Grandma Qi, there are no girls' schools here, but rich families can ask their masters to teach in the mansion."
When Xu Yuanniang heard this, her heart ached and she said, "It's just our family, let's see."
With this money, it is better to use it to buy fields, and then use it as a dowry for Lingling!
When Qi Lingling woke up, she heard her grandma talking. She widened her eyes and said, "Nai, I've been sleeping so long and I've missed so much."
Xu Yuanniang smiled and put the silver given by the Rong family on the bed and showed it to her: "Let's take a look at the silver. The color is really beautiful."
When you wake up, you can touch money. Qi Lingling smiled and said: "Mistress, how do you divide this money?"
Xu Yuanniang tapped her forehead lightly and said, "Don't touch this money, keep it to go home for the New Year."
Qi Lingling knitted her brows and said, "Mom, you can't make money by leaving money alone. I have some money left here, plus the money I make from business, how about we buy the house."
Xu Yuanniang was a little excited. After all, the monthly rent was more than one tael, and her body ached badly. If she bought this house, she could sell it if she couldn't live in it in the future. It was a good deal.
"For the house we live in, if it's two, three, or two hundred each, I'm afraid we won't be able to move in, right?" She still had a plan in mind.
Qi Lingling calculated the family property and found that there were indeed some shortcomings. Alas!
