Mrs. Zhong counted the money, and if it was really no more, no less, and then received the money in her sleeve, there was no excuse to stay, and she cut it short and politely talked to Zhou Guangzu, as if they were not two opposite sides, and politely walked out of the hall. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as she left, the dark clouds that felt oppressed in the entire hall dispersed.

Liu Shi spat in the direction where the person left: "What's the matter, it's not just trying to make money, she is poor and crazy." ”

Zhou Guangzu and the others were very disgusted by her villainous behavior of not daring to speak in front of her and hurting people behind her back, frowning, revealing a look of alienation.

Liu Shi turned around and saw it, and he couldn't get off the stage in his heart, so he scolded Zhou Qingyun angrily: "What kind of expression do you have? Do you look down on your mother now? Am I doing this all for you? Do you want to let the little lady marry into a good family?"

Of course, she didn't dare to scold others.

Zhou Qingyun was ashamed and aggrieved for her, and tilted his head to the side.

Zhou Guangzu was furious when he heard this: "What little lady raised, they are all children of my Zhou family, what is the matter with you?"

Liu got rid of Mrs. Zhong, so he was naturally not afraid of Zhou Guangzu, and said with his waist in: "Uncle doesn't have to stand and talk without backache, you don't have a little wife, what if you see your sister-in-law? Let me treat the child born by my little wife as my own? That's impossible, I see who can do it." ”

Zhou Qinghan's heart moved, the second aunt's words were true, if it weren't for the anger and jealousy, why should I be sad? But let me sell the children of the concubine, I can't do it.

Zhou Guangzu slapped the table: "What kind of nonsense are you talking about?"

Liu cried: "The little wife gave birth to the children of your Zhou family, everything belongs to your Zhou family, you are a family, I married into the family for these years, I have children, in the end I am an outsider, I still have to treat the little wife's children as my own, your Zhou family is still a princely family, there is no humanity at all, you have to force people to death." ”

The more she cried, the louder she became, and finally she sat on the ground and slapped the ground and howled, which was full of the image of a woman sprinkling.

Zhou Guangzu's fingers trembled and pointed at Liu: "Hurry up, there are still outsiders today." ”

The Zhou sisters only remembered at this time: "There are still outsiders." ”

Zhou Qingliang and Zhou Qingyun helped Liu up together.

Liu made a fuss for a while, and saw that Zhou Guangzu didn't talk about her anymore, sitting on the chair and silently wiping his tears.

It seems that the matter is about to end here, Mrs. Zhong sent it away, Liu vented together, and Zhou Guangzu had nothing to do with her. Next, when she finished crying, everyone should tidy up and go out.

After all, it was the old lady's birthday, and outsiders still had guests to receive, and it was very unpleasant for the family to sit in the hall and not go out.

But at this moment, Liu thought that she had escaped a catastrophe, so he listened to Lin Xiaojue, who had not spoken since Mrs. Zhong left: "Second aunt, have you made enough trouble? ”

Liu is only short-sighted, but not without a sense of crisis, she heard that this niece's words were not good, and then looked at her eyes, as if she was smiling and not smiling, she couldn't understand her joy and anger, and her expression was even more terrifying.

Liu said: "Today is the old lady's birthday, how can I go back to rest? ”

Lin Xiaojue stood up and stretched his waist, and said, "Okay, then our account will be calculated when the guests leave." ”

Liu's face was bloodless with fright, and he asked, "What account?"

Zhou Qingliang thought to herself, don't you know what the account is? Do you want your sister to pay back the 30,000 taels of silver for you? You don't say that you don't have any money, but she was afraid of her father's scolding, so she didn't say it directly.

Lin Xiaojue said with a smile: "Your concubine is expensive enough, Guizhou's annual tax is only 30,000 taels, and Ningxia is only more than 10,000, which is enough for the people of the two provinces to live for a year, what do you want to calculate yourself?"

Liu said: "You want to ask me for money?"

Lin Xiaojue walked over and patted her on the shoulder: "Let's count it after our guests leave, now you'd better raise the corners of your mouth and smile, otherwise I may have to pay interest." ”

Liu sighed for a while, and suddenly there was no movement.

Lin Xiaojue patted her on the shoulder again: "Let's not do this, otherwise I'll be really angry." After saying that, he looked at Zhou Qingliang all the time, and the person went out.

Zhou Guangzu and the others didn't care about her when they saw her, and they all stood up and came out.

Only Zhou Qingyun was reluctant to let his mother be sad, so he stayed after thinking about it.

She walked up to her mother: "Mother, let's go out too." ”

Liu Shi came back to her senses from a slight stunned, just now she wanted to sprinkle with Lin Xiaojue on the spot, but she clicked her ribs, and she couldn't speak in pain, and then she had to repeat the old tricks, everyone was gone, who else would make trouble when people left?

Liu had no place to spread his evil spirit, and pointed his finger at Zhou Qingyun's head: "I don't know what is the use of helping me speak, raising you wolf-hearted and dog-hearted things." ”

Zhou Qingyun, an honest man, finally couldn't stand his mother's unreasonable trouble, and said, "I want to help my mother, but you also have to make me straighten my back, think about these things you have done yourself, how can you do such a thing?"

"What's wrong with me?"

Zhou Qingyun said: "You don't know how to reflect, then wait for my sister to ask you for debts, I don't care." ”

Liu was just about to open his mouth to scold, but Zhou Qingyun had already covered his face and ran away and went out of the house.

The last straw in Liu's heart is gone, and the daughter who is married outside the family doesn't help her speak, and those who watch Lin Xiaojue's face and eat at home don't care about her.

Liu always remembered Lin Xiaojue's words before leaving, as soon as the guests left, let's settle the accounts, she was worried in her heart, and she didn't know how to calculate these accounts, but she was sure that it was inevitable to break the fortune.

But she has always been a keeper of money, and when she thinks that the money she has accumulated for so long will be handed over to others, her whole heart is cold.

I thought that it was all because of Zhou Qingyuan, and I scolded the little slut hundreds of times, and I was not angry.

She was so angry and frightened that she didn't go to the female guest again when she left the hall, and quietly went back to her room to rummage through the cabinets and find out all the money she had saved and settle it.

Some people just have this habit, when they are reluctant to spend a lot of money, they have to take out all the money and count it to see how much money they have, and how much they lose if they spend it.

It doesn't matter if Liu doesn't count, the money she saved is not considered real estate, and the silver ticket will be enough for 30,000 li, but this check found that there are 5,000 taels less, and there are 25,000 left.

For the first time, Liu Shi counted his heart and sighed, like a basin of ice water poured down his head, and suddenly sobered up.

How can there be five thousand less?

She counted it again with a fluke mentality, but it was still five thousand.

When I think about it, I may have made a mistake where I put it, and I rummaged through it, and it was inevitable that I would not gain anything.

Liu's head was sweating in a hurry, and after thinking about it carefully, she must not have spent five thousand taels missing, that is, it was stolen by someone, who is it?

She thought of the maid in the house. (To be continued.) )
