Chapter 523: A Sudden Change
This year's planting is much earlier than last year, and it is only about mid-February after the planting, in case the watermelon and corn seedlings will freeze to death, Hui Niang collected a lot of grass ash and chicken manure in the village, mixed together and covered it.
It is said that the mixed ash has a very heavy heat, and it will not let the seeds freeze to death, I don't know how it is, after the thing is finished, Hui Niang remembered what Pei Muqing asked her to think, took the time to go to the city, and told Pei Muqing her own thoughts.
At this time, it has been more than ten days since Pei Muqing last went to her house, and after Hui Niang finished speaking with great interest, she found that Pei Muqing was not happy at all, and there was still a sadness on her face, as if someone else owed him tens of thousands of taels of silver.
It's really strange, Hui Niang glanced at Pei Muqing several times, he was still the same as just now, half a reaction, Hui Niang sighed helplessly, scooped the teacup and shook it in front of him, and said, "Young Master Pei?" Are you alright? ”
Pei Muqing reacted, glanced at Hui Niang, shook her head and said, "I'm fine, where did Sister-in-law Fan just go, go on." ”
Hui Niang glanced at Pei Muqing suspiciously, and asked again, "Young Master Pei, are you sure you're okay?" ”
"It's fine." Pei Muqing replied in the affirmative.
Hui Niang smiled and said, "Young Master Pei, you just pretend, if it's really okay, why do you write on your face, you owe me 10,000 taels?" Also, I'm done with everything I'm going to say, didn't you hear it, Young Master Pei? ”
Pei Muqing knew that she couldn't hide it from Hui Niang, so she looked at Hui Niang and said, "Sister-in-law Fan, I have to tell you I'm sorry." ”
Seeing Pei Muqing's solemn face, Hui Niang's heart also rose, could it be that the question she was worried about had finally come true?
Hurriedly said: "What the hell is going on?" Young Master Pei, don't you talk and only talk halfway? "It's not a good thing to hang people's appetites.
Pei Muqing sighed, very embarrassed: "I'm afraid I won't be able to cooperate with Sister-in-law Fan in the future..."
"What?" Hui Niang stared at Pei Muqing in disbelief, lest he was joking.
"Sister-in-law Fan, I'm sorry..."Pei Muqing looked apologetic, and her father's words kept echoing in her mind, "It's all a little bit of a little west, what kind of money can you make?" If you still scoop up money to buy, our Pei family is not bad for money, but it is not a charity, and everything is collected with money. Mu Qing, you are not too young, don't be like a child, nothing goes through your brain. ”
Hui Niang restrained her emotions, looked directly at Pei Muqing and said, "Can I know why?" If you don't cooperate with me, then at least you have to give a reason, otherwise I won't give up. ”
"Sister-in-law Fan, there is no reason, as for the share of the hot pot restaurant this month, I have already scooped it up, this is the account book, and this is the contract, if you see that there is no problem, just sign it, sign it, your business with our Pei family ends here..."
Hui Niang glanced at the things on the table, didn't move for a long time, stared at Pei Muqing for a long time, and said, "Young Master Pei, I still say the same thing, if you don't give a reason, I'm afraid I won't just sign like this." ”
Although Hui Niang didn't know that Pei Muqing was going to do this, they have been working together for more than a year, and Pei Muqing is very kind, and she did not look down on the couple because they were countrymen, and she also helped them a lot, no matter what she sold to Pei Muqing, Pei Muqing has always given a very high price, of course, this is her own request.
If you want to say that there is no story behind this, Hui Niang must not believe it, Pei Muqing showed a very embarrassed look, and said to Hui Niang: "Sister-in-law Fan, don't worry about this, if you believe me, sign it, otherwise what will happen in the future, I can't expect it." ”
Who is Hui Niang, how could she not understand Pei Muqing's words?
"You mean if I don't sign it? Will there be a fear for your life? "Hui Niang is most worried about this problem.
"I can't say for sure, but the water in our Pei family is not as shallow as you think." Pei Muqing said truthfully, a thick guilt flashed in his eyes, but thinking of the news handed to him by the dark line, Pei Muqing's eyes crossed a trace of fierceness, some people want to get what he has built single-handedly, don't even think about it.
"Young Master Pei, can I trust you?"
Hui Niang stared at Pei Muqing motionlessly, and there was no hint of lying in his eyes, and after a long time, Hui Niang said: "Nacheng, I believe you, Young Master Pei, I believe that what you said is true, I hope your Pei family will not regret today's decision in the future." ”
Then Hui Niang read the contract for terminating the cooperation very happily, made sure that there was no problem, and signed it directly, and Hui Niang didn't look at the details of the account book, and saw how much money she could get, put the contract away, and pushed the account book and another contract back.
The moment Pei Muqing saw Hui Niang's signature, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and the smile was so fast that she didn't even notice Hui Niang.
After collecting the contract, Pei Muqing scooped out the silver that had been prepared a long time ago and gave it to Hui Niang, "Young Master Pei, it doesn't seem that my share is this number, right?" ”
Although the contract is terminated, Hui Niang is not an unprincipled person, she can scoop as much as she wants, because that is her reward, and she doesn't want any more.
The back of the account book is written one hundred and fifty taels of silver, and the pile of silver tickets handed over by Pei Muqing is far more than one hundred and fifty taels, and Hui Niang estimates that there should be about tens of thousands of taels.
Pei Muqing took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Sister-in-law Fan doesn't need to panic, two thousand taels of it is the loss I paid to you, because I didn't believe in my words, so this money should be compensated, as for the other fifty thousand taels... I want to ask Sister-in-law Fan to keep it for me. Pei Muqing's voice became quieter and quieter, if it weren't for the tip of Hui Niang's ears, I was afraid that I would have heard it wrong.
Tens of thousands of taels? How long does she have to earn? Hui Niang was startled, and shook her head again and again, "Young Master Pei, I can't keep this money from you..."
She liked money, and she liked to make it, because it was a pleasure for her, and it was too dangerous to keep the silver ticket from others.
"The contract has also been signed, and I won't hide it from you, sister-in-law Fan, the reason why I did this is also to prevent sister-in-law Fan from getting involved in the disputes of our Pei family, because the hot pot restaurant we cooperate with is too profitable, which has aroused the concern of many people in our family, and they regard the hot pot restaurant we opened together as a piece of fat, and everyone wants to take a bite.
After knowing that my partner is you, you have been fanning the flames and asking me to hand over the hot pot restaurant..."
"Okay, Young Master Pei, you don't have to say it, I'll keep this money for you." What Hui Niang was most annoying about was the matter of the big family, not to mention that she was not interested in the Pei family's family affairs, so she agreed.
Pei Muqing stood up and saluted: "Thank you Sister-in-law Fan, if I need money in the future, I will go to Sister-in-law Fan." ”
Hui Niang hurriedly dodged to the side, "Don't give me a salute, it's not etiquette." "If she, a country woman, is asked to receive a gift from a young master, how awkward it sounds.
Pei Muqing was amused by Hui Niang's appearance and said, "Okay then." ”
Hui Niang finally accepted Pei Muqing's two thousand taels of silver tickets, after all, Pei Muqing was not wrong, their Pei family lost, don't do it in vain, when she went out, Hui Niang heard Pei Muqing muttering: "Sister-in-law Fan, maybe in the near future, I will no longer be the eldest young master of the Pei family..."
Hui Niang walked out of the treasure building with a heavy heart, standing outside the treasure building, Hui Niang looked at the signboard of the treasure building, and said secretly: It seems that soon after, there will be an accident in the treasure building...
When Feng San saw Hui Niang coming out of the Treasure Building, he looked at the shop sign in a daze, and said, "Madam, do we want to go back first?" ”
"Return, let's go back when we buy something, Uncle Feng, let's go." For the sake of safety, it is better for them to come to the city less in the future, and it is always right to be careful.
On the carriage, Hui Niang sighed again and again, without Pei Muqing's big tree in the future, I am afraid that it will be difficult to do business in the future, and buyers will have to find it again, Hui Niang is very happy now, fortunately, her brain is not hot, and she refuses the two thousand taels.
But what Pei Muqing said will not be the eldest young master of the Pei family in the future, what is going on? Is he really unwilling to be the eldest young master of the Pei family? Where was the shopkeeper Zhou before, Hui Niang had heard a lot of things about the Pei family, and the head of the Pei family was Pei Muqing's father Pei Huaiyuan, yes, but Pei Huaiyuan had a lot of younger brothers and sisters under him, that is, there were many younger brothers and sisters.
Pei Muqing's second uncles and aunts and others are always worried about the property of the Pei family, and Pei Muqing also has younger brothers and sisters, making trouble every day, I heard that the brothers almost fought because of something last time, plus those aunts in Pei's house are also very rampant, and in front of Pei Huaiyuan, they often give Pei Muqing small shoes to wear.
And Pei Muqing's mother passed away early, if it weren't for Jiang Yu's father and mother's support, Pei Muqing, the eldest young master, would have been unable to do it a long time ago.
Rich people really love to toss, Hui Niang thought about it for a while, and then came up with this sentence, if they didn't love tossing, their own business would not be impossible.
Hui Niang scolded a few words in her heart, and then stopped talking, she couldn't blame them, or was she useless?
After buying some items needed at home in the city, Hui Niang and Feng San went home, and when they got home, Hui Niang hid the money Pei Muqing gave her, and also collected the two thousand taels, and her heart was finally at ease.
Pei Muqing's incident happened, and it was impossible for Hui Niang not to tell the people at home, after finishing speaking, everyone's good mood for eating was gone.
Aunt Liu said worriedly: "Madam, why doesn't Young Master Pei cooperate with us?" He was so ungrateful to do so. ”
Hui Niang took two mouthfuls of rice and sighed: "You can't blame him for this matter, although Young Master Pei is the eldest young master, but he still has his old son above him, and he is not a real sovereign, it's useless for us to blame him, let's eat, eat, let's think of other ways, we can't stop our things from being sold out, right?" ”
