Winner in life

During the first trial at the Jie Xun Hall, the maidservant who was most loyal to Wu Rouwan couldn't stand it anymore and broke down to tell the truth.

Chen Yanfang had tolerated her for many years and even turned a blind eye to the grievances suffered by her biological daughter-in-law, fearing that she would be separated from her son. The fourth son is indeed much less capable than the other three sons, but he is filial and obedient. Although she hates him, she still loves him.

As a result, Wu Rouwan went too far and intervened to hinder the marriage. No, Wu did not have the courage. She was just short-sighted and used unscrupulous housekeeping methods at all times. Just for her own personal gain, she wanted to drive a wedge between the new wife and her former legitimate son. The relationship between them is to reap the benefits.

Chen Yanfang tolerated her before, but this time she couldn't bear it anymore.

When she got the news about her niece, Chen Yanfang was ecstatic at first, and then began to think more deeply while waiting for her niece to come over. She doesn't feel that she is shamelessly calculating. This is a win-win situation for both parties. In addition to her share of the Hushan Sect's inheritance, the Su family branch of the Jinyang Sect and Zhang Jinhe of Biyun Pavilion also have a share. If the niece appears, the two parties will definitely take advantage of the niece. Rather than letting her niece fall into the fight, it is better to get a home with her first. At least she is sincere towards her niece.

She has worked so hard to achieve this, and this marriage will never treat her niece badly.

Wu Rouwan is ignorant and wants to make things difficult for her niece. This is challenging her authority. Chen Yanfang can no longer tolerate her.

Regardless of her younger son's plea, Chen Yanfang sent Wu Rouwan to Zhuangzi and was not allowed to come back without her permission. She said to Su Yaoniang: "I also do it for the sake of Conner and the three children, otherwise I will beat her to death! But don't worry, she will not have an easy time in Zhuangzi. I have already given her instructions." , she was made to kneel and read the house rules for two hours every morning and evening. This is the punishment she deserves. "

Su Yaoniang had never met the concubine, but she could not forgive her for plotting against her and her son, causing her son to attack Lu Cong's son in order to protect her. That person deserved to be punished, but she felt a little uncomfortable listening to the tone of her aunt's words. It was obvious that her aunt's mind had not changed.

She looked at her aunt, whose eyes were full of concern, and couldn't help but feel sad.

Her son told her about the inheritance of Hushan Sect.

The night before, her aunt told her about rebuilding the Hushan Sect, and she was very moved. But at that time, my aunt said so much and made many sincere promises, but she didn't mention the Hushan Sect legacy at all.

Not to mention, my aunt has one third of it.

How touched she was at the time, and how sad Su Yaoniang was when she calmed down and realized the loopholes in her aunt's words.

"Aunt." Su Yaoniang said, "I have carefully considered what you said that day, but I still can't agree to this marriage. Whether you scold me or hit me, I will bear it all."

Of course Chen Yanfang, who has matured with age, would not scold her or hit her, but would just express her sadness.

In the next few days, Chen Yanfang did not see Su Yaoniang. Every time she asked her to greet her, the old maid would sigh: "Madam is in a bad mood. Cousin, please come back some other time." She also revealed that Chen Yanfang had not thought about tea or food these past few days, and had been thinking about food at night. Tossing and turning, I got up in the middle of the night yesterday and went to the small Buddhist hall to chant sutras.

Su Yaoniang was heartbroken and said to Ruihe, "I know I didn't do anything wrong, and your aunt also has her own thoughts, but I still feel extremely sad."

"Mom, how about we continue to open a sesame cake shop." After Ruihe comforted Su Yaoniang, he decided to find something meaningful for her to do. "In addition to the sesame cake shop, we can also open a tea shop and a rouge shop. I My aunt is almost bored to death!"

Also, it's not good to just sit back and have nothing. You have to do some work while you still have savings to make money. Su Yaoniang's focus of worries immediately shifted to raising her children. Xiaoyu was twelve years old and Xiaoniu was ten years old. Both children have embarked on the path of practicing martial arts. In the future, money will be needed to purchase better weapons. It also costs money to buy medicinal materials that nourish the body, strengthen muscles and build bones, and Su Yaoniang doesn't want to pay for these expenses from her aunt, otherwise her waist will be even more difficult to straighten.

You have to raise your own children.

In a few years, the two children will have to prepare to marry and have children, which is another expense that cannot be reduced. Thinking about it like this, how can Su Yaoniang still feel sad for Qiu?

He quickly consulted Zhuang Liu Niang. The two mothers were anxious together. After the discussion, they immediately made a plan to do business and make money. Forget about opening a shop. Renting a shop is too expensive, so it is better to set up a stall as before. The sesame cake stall can continue to be set up. Although the cart and the used cooking utensils have been sold, it is not difficult to buy a new one, Ruihe Take this heavy responsibility, adjust your martial arts training time, and take the calf to do the cart together. Xiao Niu was very happy to know that his family was going to open a new stall. His favorite thing since he started practicing martial arts was "patrolling the streets" and protecting his stall. Last year, the stall was harassed by rogues. The calf rushed over with a roar, and knocked people into the nearby stream like small cannonballs. It also used bamboo poles to poke the rogues in the water to prevent them from getting up. For Maverick, he was able to protect his mother and aunt, which was the happiest thing for him.

"This place is under the rule of the Zhenyang Sect. It must be in good order. You don't have to worry about ruffians." Ruihe said with a smile, "Then hand me the board marked with eleven -"

Mavericks was a little disappointed, and asked Ruihe: "Brother, when are we going to enter the world? I think the young heroes in the story books will go down the mountain to experience when they are teenagers, punish rapes and eradicate evil, and draw swords to help when there is injustice, especially Chivalrous! I heard from Xiao Peng that his eldest brother went out for training at the age of twelve and rescued a beautiful man who was almost stolen by a flower picker! "

"You also want to save the handsome man?"

"I want to save the beautiful woman." Maverick looked yearning.

Ruihe knocked him: "You should practice martial arts well first, otherwise, you will not be the hero saving the beauty, but you will be saved by the beauty in turn."

In addition to continuing to run the sesame cake stall, Ruihe gave Su Yaoniang a sum of money and asked Su Yaoniang to buy a shop.

"Where do you have so much money?" She looked at the two thousand taels of silver notes in her hand and was dumbfounded.

"When I was drunk and dreaming, I did business with the sisters in the flower house. This is the reward I saved. I was afraid that you would disagree, so I didn't tell you. Mother, are you angry?"

Su Yaoniang is not angry. She has also met the girls in the flower house. Some girls like the sesame cakes made by her and Liu Niang, saying they have the taste of hometown, and they often ask the little maid to buy them. Some girls can't help themselves, but in fact they are all good girls. She didn't think it was scandalous or bad for her son to do business with them. She was just worried that her son was only twelve years old. What kind of business could he do with them?

"I helped them buy rouge and gouache, and sometimes I even took orders from betrayers. I earned a small amount of money and saved twenty taels. Later, the night before we left the dreamland with Uncle Thirteen, I took the last order. Yesterday Just completed, the reward for that order is two thousand taels."

"What order?" It's so much money!

"Kill a person." Rui He said softly, "That person defrauded the Hualou girl of her money and used the money to make a fortune. Now he is a well-known businessman in Tancheng, selling spices from outside the customs, and is very wealthy. That person The girl sold herself to a wealthy businessman who loved to abuse women and became the concubine of the eighteenth house. After being abandoned by the wealthy businessman again, she returned to the flower house. She said that she was about to die and her only wish was to see that man die in front of her. Earlier, I collected two thousand taels of silver from her, chopped off the businessman's head yesterday, wrapped it in lime, put it in a box, and sent it back to Zuimengland through the escort agency."

Su Yaoniang's hand holding the bank note was shaking, and finally she just asked in a low voice: "You didn't leave any traces, did you?"

"Don't worry, Mom, I know how to protect myself."

"Don't tell the third person about this, okay? You have always had your own ideas, and I don't dare to restrict you too much. Mom only has one request for you, and that is that no matter what you do, protecting yourself is the first priority. , understand?”

Su Yaoniang helped Rui He put away the banknote and said she would take it out when he needed the money later.

"Mom, let's buy a shop first. I heard from others that a shop is like an egg that makes money. It's an excellent way to make money. Even if we don't open our own business, it's great to rent it to others and collect rent. Mom, let's buy it. A shop with a yard can do business in the front and people can live in the back. From now on, we will have our own place to stay. "

Hearing what her son said, Su Yaoniang felt that it made sense. Because of this baby relationship, she already felt extremely uncomfortable living in Zhenyang Sect. If she could have a house of her own, she would have a reason to move out.

Living under someone else's roof, you are weak and timid after all.

Su Yaoniang left the matter of buying a shop to Liu Niang. She also had her own thoughts and didn't want her aunt to know. Zhuang Liuniang and Xiao Niu were very inconspicuous in the Zhenyang sect. Chen Yanfang was only polite to her niece's adopted sister. Zhuang Liuniang wanted to go out, but she did not follow them. Zhuangliu's mother-in-law's family used to run a shop selling sesame seed cakes. She has been helping to clean tables on tiptoes since she was three years old. She has some experience in shopping for shops and knows which location to choose.

After choosing three, Zhuang Liu Niang told Su Yao Niang and Rui He to let them choose.

It cost 1,640 taels of silver to buy the shop. The shop is very close to the Zhenyang sect's chief rudder. In the words of modern society, it is located in the city center. The price is very reasonable. The shop was just as Rui He imagined, with a shop in front and a house in the back. The courtyard had six rooms, three of which could be used as bedrooms, and there was an edible well in the yard. Everything suited Su Yaoniang's wishes.

Chen Yanfang didn't know about it until the shop was purchased and the transfer procedures were completed.

"Pingzheng has such a stubborn temper. My sister and brother-in-law are both gentle. How could I give birth to such a daughter?" Chen Yanfang said to her husband who had just returned from a long trip, feeling very troubled in her words.

"What are you worried about?" Mr. Lu/Fourth smiled and said, "I received news on the way back that the head of the Jinyang Sect has arrived. Zhang Jinhe has been busy fighting within the Biyun Pavilion recently. He is probably smoking. I won’t come in person if I don’t have time, but I guess his cronies must be on the way. When you see those two groups, your niece will know that we are the only ones who are best to her.”
