Mrs. Rong's mother and son returned home.

If it weren't for Mrs. Rong's pressure behind the scenes, I don't know what Rong Jinhao would have become.

Of course, Mrs. Rong is not thinking about her appearance, or she is reluctant to her or anything, the reason why she tried her best to suppress Rong Jinhao's anger is nothing more than that she still has two hopes for Rong Yan here - if Rong Yan really follows Shen Boyu in the future, even if it is a concubine, it will be their battle for peace and happiness in the Hou Mansion! Based on this psychology, coupled with the fact that it is the end of the year, there are a lot of things in the Hou Mansion, and the trouble to find Rong Yan has been left behind by her.

Twenty-sixth of the lunar month.

Hu Shi looked at the few shopkeepers standing in front of him, and he didn't have a good face, "So, we didn't make a few silver last year?" She has been so busy for a year, and in the end, these shopkeepers told her that they didn't make a lot of silver? Hu Shi sneered while holding the teacup, "I said a few of you, won't you swallow the silver for me privately?"

"Second wife, you really wronged us when you said this, we are very loyal to you. ”

"Yes, second wife, this account book is here, can you not believe us. ”

Several shopkeepers all had bitter faces and complained bitterly to the Hu family.

Hu Shisheng, who listened to the chaotic words, was annoyed, his eyebrows were unconsciously raised, and he shouted angrily, "It's done, shut up for me." She looked at the faces of several people with extremely ugly faces, with a faint impatience, "I wish you could be greedy and make me more money, but unfortunately, you look at your virtue, and you are embarrassed to say that you are greedy?

"Useless things, why did I hand over all the shops to you in the first place?"

"Yes, yes, the second wife is right, it's useless for us. ”

A few people quietly glanced at each other, but behind their sneering expressions was their hidden disdain-

What the hell, this shop isn't yours!

Spray the blood of these people who scold them, even if she doesn't treat them as human beings.

The owner of this shop is still a big house!

However, these words are only slandered in their hearts, they are fools, and they will take the initiative to provoke Hu Shi when their brains are in water, therefore, several people are more and more respectful, and they are careful, and the anger in Hu's heart has disappeared a little unconsciously, plus the depression in her heart is vented, she didn't say anything ugly in the end, only stretched out two fingers and rubbed her swollen eyebrows, "In this way, you can only take out five hundred taels of silver at most?"

“…… Yes, Mrs. Two. ”

Hu Shi lifted his eyelids and looked at a few people with a smile, "Old lady, do you know what to say?"

"Don't worry, we know what to say. ”

Hu Shi smiled with satisfaction, took a sip of the tea in his hand, and opened his mouth calmly, "If the old lady doesn't ask, if she asks, you will say, this year's business is not good, other shops not only did not make money, but also lost a lot, and our family also made so much money one or two hundred, but it was also used in the turnover of the store." Have you written it down?"

"Write it down, write it down. ”

Several people nodded like chickens pecking rice, saluted very respectfully to Hu, and left.

Standing outside the door of the second courtyard, a few shopkeepers look at me, I look at you, look at each other for a while, and their eyes flashed and they each raised their feet and left the house.

Although they also secretly concealed some silver, they did not have the same appetite as the Hu family.

He even hid a few hundred taels of silver.

But it has nothing to do with them.

In the afternoon of the same day, Mrs. Rong, who was still looking forward to sending some silver taels to buy New Year's goods from a few shops, heard Hu's sad words, and she was a little stunned, and almost pulled off the sandalwood beads on her wrist that she had admired for many years, "What do you say, a few shops didn't send a penny? This, how is this possible?" Mrs. Rong didn't think that Hu Shi would make a move in the middle, she subconsciously doubted those shopkeepers, "Have you seen those shopkeepers?

Isn't the intention of opening the door to make a living?

It's good for their family, this shop has been open for a year, and in the end, they haven't made any money?!

It's funny!

"Mother, don't be angry, it's your daughter-in-law's sin to be angry. Hu didn't take the anger of the old lady Shangrong seriously at all, personally helped her refill a cup of tea, and sighed, "When my daughter-in-law heard a few of them say this, she was not as angry as you, and even suspected that a few of them were ghosts, and almost sent them to the government, but the result was ...... The daughter-in-law checked the account book again and again, and asked two other bookkeepers to reconcile the accounts, and the items in it were all clear, and there was no difference. ”

"So, those shops won't be able to come up with money this year?"

"Yes, the daughter-in-law is also worried, it is the New Year's Festival soon, there are still two or three days of effort, most of the things in our house have not been prepared, in addition to last year's annual flowers, to collect the accounts have come several times, daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law two days ago let people go to be a daughter-in-law of a face to offset our winter charcoal money, now this vegetable butcher shop, rice grain shop, and the clothing workshop, plus the New Year's goods, human relations...... The daughter-in-law is really incompetent, so please punish the old lady for your daughter-in-law. ”

Hu Shi lowered his head, with a sad face, blaming himself, and wiping his red eyes with a handkerchief from time to time.

Mrs. Rong wanted to lose her temper, but she remembered that her second son, who had not yet come out of the cell, was also nearly thirty years old, and seeing that the person who was going to be her grandfather in two years had actually suffered a prison sentence, her heart softened a little, she rubbed her somewhat swollen eyebrows, and sighed at Hu, "You can't be blamed for this, didn't those shopkeepers say that this year's business is not good, and there is no way to do it." After a pause, she looked at Hu, "How much silver are you missing?"

"Before my daughter-in-law came, I calculated that the money prepared for the New Year's goods plus the previous expenses of each family would cost three hundred hundred-"

"Is there so much missing?" Old Lady Rong listened to this number, it was really a little painful, and she wanted to let the Hu family delay it for two more days, but now she saw that it was twenty-seven years old, and if she delayed it, this year would not pass! ”

As soon as Hu Shi heard this, a bright light flashed in his slightly enclosed eyes.

This old thing, sure enough, is secretly hiding silver behind it.

Seeing that Mrs. Rong took the box with a distressed face, took two silver tickets and handed them over, Hu regretted it, knowing that she would talk to this old thing for five hundred taels!
