Speaking of Zhu Guifang, the second uncle of Hongzhu, she doesn't remember much. At that time, she was recovering from a serious illness, and soon met her father Cheng Guitang in an accident, and the family was in chaos. Now that I think about it, I only remember that Zhu Guifang found ginseng from nowhere to treat her father's illness, but at that time, Cheng Guitang was seriously injured, and even the elixir just lost his breath and couldn't save his life, so he didn't leave anything to say, so he went.

Later, during the funeral, Hongzhu took care of her mother and younger brother, and the people around her went back and forth, and she didn't care much when she saw it. As soon as the funeral was over, Zhu Guifang said that he had found a way, and soon the family of four went to the south to do business.

It's been nearly three years since they were gone. During this period, people never came back, but from time to time there were letters sent, and during the New Year's Festival, they would also ask people to send some things to Zhu's house, not only to greet Mrs. Zhu, but also to talk about their lives.

In the past two years, Mrs. Zhu has not talked about this second son, and even if Mrs. Zhu does not want to mention it, there are few people in the Zhu family. Hongzhu was also puzzled once, and asked her mother why this was, and her mother Li hurriedly prevaricated without a few words.

Originally, Hongzhu just remembered to ask casually, but it can be seen that Li is like this, but Hongzhu is really worried about it in her heart. She was secretly funny at that time, could it be that Mrs. Zhu was a son who had no fate, her father was separated by her, and her second uncle was also kicked out of the house by her?

Li didn't say anything, and when he turned around, Hongzhu pretended to mention it inadvertently in front of Zhu Biyun and Zhu Zilan, leading them to speak. At the beginning, Zhu Biyun was still secretive, but Zhu Zilan was pouting on the side, and then she made it all clear.

It turned out that among Mrs. Zhu's three sons, Zhu Guifang was a lively person. Zhu Guida is the eldest son, but when he was young, he was closer to Mrs. Zhu, and his temperament is a little old, and he is really well-behaved. And the third Cheng Guitang needless to say, he has been studying for more than ten or twenty years, although he is not old, his temperament is almost the same as that of an old pedant. But Zhu Guifang is as articulate as Zhu Yanmei, and he is also very pleased with Mrs. Zhu.

Zhu Guifang was already alive, and he had many ideas since he was a child, so he stayed in the grocery store to help and added a lot of income to the Zhu family. In the first few years, it was not good, but when he married a wife and had children, as soon as he was encouraged by his wife, his mind rose.

It stands to reason that the Zhu family has lived here in Tong'an for several lifetimes, has land and land, and a grocery store to earn livelihood silver, Cheng Guitang has split the family, and the remaining Zhu Guida and Zhu Guifang have two separate family businesses, as long as they do not encounter natural disasters, the Zhu family will not be poor. There is only one thing, in the end, this grocery store has to be inherited by the eldest son Zhu Guida. The tree has a big branch, and when Mrs. Zhu is a hundred years old, the two brothers of the Zhu family will definitely have to separate, and Zhu Guifang will move out at that time. According to the rules, even if Mrs. Zhu felt sorry for him to leave him more private rooms and share more family wealth, the big head had no reason to deal with him.

Thinking about it again, Zhu Guifang worked hard in the grocery store and won many old customers to help him, but after all, the shop didn't give it to him, don't shout Boss Zhu, that is also his father and his eldest brother to respond. Therefore, Zhu Gui is convenient to think about doing some private work and making his own shop.

Mrs. Zhu was born in a businessman, and when she saw that her second son had ideas, she didn't think anything about it, so she was persuaded and coaxed by Zhu Guifang, and she believed him and took a private house to help him.

So Zhu Guifang began not to guard the shop, and went out every day to make friends and wander, and came back drunk from time to time. In this way for a year or two, a lot of wine and meat friends have been added, and he has also followed the small business of knocking and smashing, but most of them are the result of losing money. There were one or two things to make money, and when he went out with his friends, he immediately spent it again.

After such a period of time, Mrs. Zhu was really a little overwhelmed, and she couldn't persuade her, so she grabbed someone and scolded her a few times. If it was Zhu Guida, he wouldn't dare to have a hard time with his mother, his mother was really annoyed, and he would do whatever he wanted. But this Zhu Guifang is a tough man, he recognized that he would be promising, and let his mother beat and scold, but he just said a word back and forth, he went out to play with serious things, and it was not nonsense!

According to his words, he eats and drinks every day to find contacts and find a way, and he just tried to practice his hands when he lost money in the previous few businesses, and he didn't take it seriously, so that his mother was not in a hurry to stop him. He kept saying that if he really found the right way, it would definitely be a good book!

Mrs. Zhu has been doing real business all her life, and she has earned her family business by relying on such small things as inverted needles and threads, where would she believe Zhu Guifang's words! This put aside the blindness of being coaxed by her son's kind words before, and she only became more angry when she heard this. In the end, she felt sorry for her son, and she didn't want to toss him ruthlessly, so she turned around and called Zhu Guifang's wife Du Shi to scold. only said that she was vicious and had nothing to do, stirred up the man for no reason, and provoked him to fall out with the family......

Those two years were a big fight.

The loss is that Zhu Yanmei was old at that time, because of the previous pickiness, the family affairs did not go well, and Mrs. Zhu's important business was such a precious daughter, and she couldn't free up her hands to drive people out with her third son Cheng Guitang at that time. At that time, Mrs. Zhu was angry, so she didn't want to talk about the private money, and she didn't even want to give them a good face.

Later, Zhu Yanmei got married, and Mrs. Zhu didn't get away with Zhu Guifang for a while, and she has always been lukewarm. Zhu Biyun was already old at that time, so he could hear a lot of disputes and quarrels at home, so he remembered the details clearly. At that time, Zhu Guifang did start to do business, and the business was indeed fast, but the reputation was not very good.

It turned out that Zhu Guifang knew a merchant who was doing rouge business in the south of the Yangtze River, and specially took some rare goods from the south from him, and then sold them at a high price. And if he wants to sell these goods at a high price, he will either find a shop to decorate and do the business of the girls' wives, or he will drill into those flower streets and willow alleys.

And Zhu Guifang chose the latter.

In such a small place in the south of the city, something happened to someone's family and spread it every two days. Zhu Guifang did not hide this business, and suddenly the neighbors knew about it. If there is that funny, it is said that Zhu Guifang has the heart and means, not only will he make a lot of money, but he will also be very rich. And there are many people who are not used to seeing it in their hearts, so they say that Zhu Guifang has a low character, and he camps under Sister Yao's skirt.

Mrs. Zhu lost all her old face in this life, and when she turned around, she naturally reprimanded Zhu Guifang. When there was a lot of trouble, Zhu Guifang also moved out by himself and rented a house elsewhere, which was both a place to live and a place to store goods.

Later, it was Cheng Guitang who had an accident. After that, Zhu Guifang's family moved to the south.

It's just that the business doesn't sound good. She doesn't have a second uncle's shop, but he does the work of a second dealer, and the goods in his hand are the rouge flower paste and honey that the girls and wives like.

It is said that the girl in the south is graceful and lovely, and there is a Qinhuai River in the previous dynasty, although it is not called such a name now, but it is still a collection of outstanding beauty. Zhu Guifang has found the land in the past. Naturally, there were difficult times at the beginning, but he somehow borrowed the capital and started his own grease with his old friend, and he really made a way out.

In less than two years, the life of Zhu Guifang's family has been better.

I heard that at that time, Zhu Guifang also sent back a box of the grease paste he made, and also asked the Zhu family's grocery store to sell some to increase the income. Mrs. Zhu was unhappy and didn't want to accept it, so she was taken to the Zhao family by Zhu Yanmei as soon as she turned her head. Later, Hongzhu heard Zhu Yanmei mention that the little maids and daughters-in-law in the Zhao family still liked the grease very much, and asked her to find it when some of them ran out.

As for whether Zhu Yanmei asked Zhu Guifang to do these favors, Hongzhu didn't know.

Because of Zhu Guifang's business, Mrs. Zhu was ashamed, she really didn't mention them much in the past two years, and she didn't say anything about letting them come back. At this time, they were all there, and Mrs. Zhu brought it up generously.

Hongzhu didn't know why, and there was only surprise in her heart. It was difficult to inquire in front of many people, and as soon as she turned around, Hongzhu entered Zhu Zilan's house. This excuse is also good, she hasn't seen Zhu Zilan for a few days, come over and ask, and since Zhao Xun is back, she also wants to ask how Zhu Biyun is.

As the old saying goes, it smells far away and smells close, Hongzhu has moved out now, Zhu Zilan and her mother have been awkward and haven't lived at home for a while, these two rarely see each other, and when they see each other, they don't seem to be as competitive as before. Although it is not affectionate, it can still say two peaceful words.

Hongzhu has always been that she doesn't come to provoke her, and she won't deliberately quarrel with her. Seeing Zhu Zilan so peaceful, she was surprised, and couldn't help but sigh again, don't guess the thoughts of this young girl, you can't say for a while.

Hongzhu asked her about her second uncle Zhu Guifang, and Zhu Zilan didn't hide it, and said neatly: "I don't know what's going on, as soon as I came back, I heard my grandmother say that I received a letter from my second uncle two days ago, saying that their family came back before the heat this year." Zhu Zilan pursed her lips and said, "The second uncle said in the letter that he missed his hometown, and after earning some family business in the south, he thought about coming back to take care of his mother...... When I saw my grandmother say this, my heart was happy. The letter also said that Zhu Yinyue was also older, and she didn't want her to marry in the south, so she still had to come back to find a family for her......" Speaking of this, Zhu Zilan snorted coldly, looked at Hongzhu and said, "Then Zhu Yinyue will come back without a good thing." If it weren't too late, I would have said that she had heard about my sister's family affairs, so she would have come back to take advantage!"

Hongzhu was stunned when she heard this, and finally understood that Zhu Zilan's attitude was inexplicably angry with her.
