Chapter 118: Tong's Shop
When punishing Bi Chun, Mei Yixuan deliberately let Mei Shengjie watch from beginning to end, so that he could fully understand the truth that the weak eat the strong and the strong survive. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In Mei Shengjie's eyes, Bichun is undoubtedly the most powerful, because she often **** behind her back, so that he dares to be angry and dare not speak, because even if she says it, no one will call the shots for him. But the powerful Bichun didn't take advantage of Mei Yixuan here, why? Because Mei Yixuan is stronger than her!
Some things don't need to be preached, you have to have an immersive experience to play a deafening role, this is also a tragic life experience lesson given by Mei Yixuan to Mei Shengjie, if you don't want to be bullied, you have to be strong, this is also Mei Yixuan's good intentions for her younger brother!
As Mei Shengjie grows up day by day, Mei Yixuan can't be by his side forever, didn't the eldest lady also propose to let him go back to his yard today? Even if he is still too young to protect himself, but from today on, he must have a clear understanding that only if he is strong will he not be bullied by anyone!
Mei Shengjie has witnessed the scene of his sister's punishment of Bichun, especially the picture of her sister herself being able to make Bichun honestly unable to move, her young heart has been strongly impacted!
He admitted that at that moment, there was a kind of joy in his heart that he could finally take revenge! A hearty joy that he could trample the enemy on the soles of his feet! A kind of worship for a powerful sister! An urgent impulse to be strong! This kind of complex emotions made him not have any fear, unbearability, or soft-heartedness when he saw Bi Chun's seven orifices bleeding, only the pleasure of being relieved deep in his heart stimulated his sensory nerves.
Mei Shengjie understands, the weaker you are, the more others bully you, my sister punished Huixiang and Bichun, isn't it okay? This is all because my sister is strong! Therefore, he secretly made up his mind that he must become a strong man, protect himself, and protect his sister!
The sister and brother were each muttering indoors, thinking about their thoughts, and Mama Ye poked her head outside and asked cautiously, "Miss, do you have any time now?" The slave wants to tell you something. ”
Now, the people in the courtyard have a consensus that as long as the sister and brother are in the house, they cannot enter the house without permission. Mama Ye hesitated outside for a long time before opening her mouth outside the door.
"Come in. Mei Yixuan guessed what Mama Ye wanted to say and said loudly.
Before Bi Chun died, Mei Yixuan didn't think it was something out of nothing, chasing after the wind. How I got through it, I still remember the events of that day. How could it be so coincidental, but Tong Basi was sick, and her stomach hurt so much that she had to go back.
She didn't believe that there were so many coincidences, if Mama Ye didn't leave, Mama Ye would eat the leftover meal from breakfast that day, and naturally she would be poisoned, just a sequence. Maybe Mei Yingxuan herself was afraid that the time would not be well controlled, so she transferred Mama Ye away. But it is also possible that Mama Ye had already taken refuge with the eldest lady and left on purpose.
Whether Mama Ye betrayed her or not, Mei Yixuan is really not sure, because since she came here, the only person who made her feel sincere was Mama Ye. Well, listen to what she has to say, maybe she has a hard time.
Mama Ye entered the room anxiously, knelt on the ground with a "poof", lowered her head and said ashamedly: "Miss, the old slave is guilty, the old slave went home yesterday and only found out about the old man, please punish the eldest lady!"
As he spoke, he held a heavy money bag in both hands, and handed it to Mei Yixuan in a few steps.
Mei Yixuan reached out and took it, and tossed it in his hand, there seemed to be a silver ticket in it?
"Tell me, what's going on?" Mei Yixuan put the silver bag aside and asked lightly.
Since Mama Ye saw Mei Yixuan's methods after she woke up, she was afraid of her from her heart, and she didn't dare to hide it, so she hurriedly told Mei Yixuan everything. Because according to Mei Yixuan's current ability, sooner or later he will find out, and it is better to explain it himself, maybe there is still a way to live.
Aunt Tong's dowry shop is a small grocery store, just in the Chunshu Hutong northwest of Meifu Four Streets, and the name of the shop is Tongjia Grocery Store.
The Tong's grocery store is two blue brick houses with a small courtyard at the back, and Mama Ye's family lives in the small courtyard at the back.
Yesterday, because Mei Yixuan was going to enter the palace, there was nothing to do in the courtyard, so Mama Ye took the time to go home. Actually, Mama Ye didn't go home often before, mainly because she didn't worry that Mei Yixuan was alone in Ziyue Garden, and she was afraid that Huixiang's cheap hooves would bully her.
When she returned home yesterday, she found that her family's situation had improved significantly. Not only the old man, son, and daughter's dress, but also the materials of the clothes are not what they used to be, and even the food and drink are quite particular, which makes her immediately suspicious.
She knows very well what the situation is at home, she and the old man's monthly case is two taels of silver, her son Tong Yong's monthly case is one tael of silver, and her daughter's monthly case is five hundred dollars. It stands to reason that for slaves and maids, the income is not small.
However, because as her son grew up, Mama Ye also asked for Aunt Tong's grace and promised her son to release his slavery when he became an adult. This is also the reason why Mama Ye is desperate for Mei Yixuan's mother and daughter. Therefore, the family discussed buying a house for their son on the outskirts of Kyoto, which could be used by his son in the future. For this reason, the family is frugal and never dares to spend wantonly.
Under Mama Ye's stern questioning, Tong Basi told his wife the truth, and he didn't want to hide it from his wife forever.
It turned out that the income of the Tong family's grocery store was given to Aunt Tong at the beginning, and later Aunt Tong said that this shop belonged to the Tong family, and that she should not receive this money as a married woman, and that the money came to her own hands, and that she was sick and crooked.
Because there were not many silver taels at the beginning, Tong Basi did this all the time. But as the grocery store business got better and better, and the income increased, Tong Basi's heart became more and more unbalanced. His family worked hard to run this shop, but all the money went into other people's pockets, although this other person was his master, but it still made him indignant.
In fact, the main reason is that the Tong family moved away and is no longer in the capital, and Aunt Tong is not favored, and she is not as good as a slave in Meifu. In other words, he thinks that he is better than her, so why should he earn the silver and deposit it for her. So, in all kinds of grievances, dissatisfaction, and resentment, he began to secretly deduct part of the profits, anyway, Aunt Tong would not check the accounts, let alone doubt herself.
