Chapter 245: A Familiar Stranger
Steward Mao felt that he was feeling uncomfortable, and he felt like he had a fire in his heart, but he didn't know who to attack.
It was only in the past two days that he learned that his wife not only handed over the rest of the family's money, but also handed over the private house she had saved with great difficulty to her sister, that is, Aunt Geng, to put the money in Yinzi.
Now that Aunt Geng was suddenly sent away, in a hurry, many things were not explained clearly.
What's worse is that Aunt Geng's maid was also sent away together, and now in the sixth room, there is not even a single person who knows.
The reason why Aunt Geng was able to attract some people was because she was next to the sixth master and took the road of putting printing money outside, so everyone begged her to use the spare money in her hand to generate a few interest.
Now that she's been sent away as dead, what will happen to this mess?
Fortunately, there are many people involved in the sixth room, and even two aunts have a part. Many people went to plead with the Sixth Lady for accommodation.
Later, the sixth lady also relented, saying that as long as she had the credentials in her hand, she would quickly hand it over, and then ask the sixth lady to negotiate with the people outside.
Since it was originally a line set up by the sixth master, he must be able to at least recover the capital.
As a result, everyone made another difficulty.
Especially like Mr. and Mrs. Mao.
Because the money that was taken out at the beginning was money that was not clear.
No one is a fool, they will settle accounts. Your husband and wife have a total of two taels of silver a month, and there are two small ones at the bottom, how did you save two hundred taels and put them in the seal money? Don't you eat or drink for ten years?
It's like some people who have been stolen by thieves and have to bite the bullet and say, 'There is nothing to lose', even if they chase the thief back, they still have to continue to bite the bullet and say, 'It's not our family', which is a truth.
Whether it is a housekeeper or an errand in the kitchen, there is oil and water, which everyone knows, but it is only limited to knowing it, and it cannot be brought to the surface.
It's obviously his own silver, and he can't get it back openly, and the heart of the Mao steward has dripped a lot of blood.
"You! Why are you so stupid! Don't know how many documents to write separately? Do you have to write one? "Steward Mao is so angry that he even forgot to be afraid of his wife, or in other words, now his wife has no foundation to be feared.
If you write a few sheets, you can get at least some of them back.
"What are you yelling at me!" If you talk about the lion's roaring kung fu, the Mao steward will be thrown off eight streets by his wife, "There is a debtor who is wronged." I asked you to burn down that rotten shop before, you were afraid of wolves and tigers in front of you, and you were afraid of spending money if you hired a few gangsters, what are you doing with me now! ”
Steward Mao was yelled at by his wife, but his head suddenly opened, and he said angrily: "You are shouting to burn Mu Zhaotang, which is a nice thing to say, and it will not be discovered, and it can relieve Mrs. Qi or something, in fact, it is to make your sister angry, right?" I...... I'm not going to do this wrong! ”
"Your sister has been sent away, and it is estimated that she will not be able to come back in this life, and she has also pit all the money of our family. I'm going to get out of my breath for her when I'm in the water in my head! I have to pay another five taels of silver! Don't do it! ”
The bear's true character of the Mao steward prevailed, and he was reluctant to speak at this time.
His daughter-in-law, Geng Niangzi, came over and slashed at his head: "Stupid you!" Is it necessary to fight such a big battle for my sister? Can you see that she's gone? I knew that you were a soft commodity that couldn't be hard, so I didn't tell you! ”
"As long as Mu Zhaotang burns to the ground, then what do you say after that, don't you just touch your two lips and say whatever you like?"
"Didn't Miss Yunjie give two silver tickets of one hundred taels before, saying that she asked you to watch them as a settling-in fee? If Gu Si or Old Man Gu were burned to death, you would say that the silver ticket had been given and it was burned. ”
Steward Mao's eyes widened, he never imagined that the white fat woman who slept next to him every day would be so vicious, completely ignoring the lives of Gu Lao's shopkeeper and Gu Si.
Before, I only talked about arson, but I didn't say hurt people.
But in the end, it was only a vague sentence: "If you give a silver ticket, there must always be a receipt." ”
"People are dead, you can't make a receipt, right?" Geng Niangzi said curiously: "You are really good!" Do you know or not, Huang Er, let alone make a receipt, maybe it's normal to make an account book. ”
"Alright, alright." Steward Mao was upset by Geng Niangzi's comparison, and what men hate the most is being said by women to be inferior to other men.
"If they weren't burned to death," Geng Niangzi had follow-up plans: "You just say, take the two hundred taels to my sister to put the money for the seal!" ”
"Huh?" Steward Mao was stunned for a long time, and always felt that something was wrong, "But the time is not right, giving your sister silver is a matter before and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and now the two hundred taels have only been in hand for a few days." ”
"You're really, stupid! Die! Finish! Geng Niangzi said angrily: "Ten basins and nine covers, you won't say that you embezzled money from other places before, and then used the money that passed through later, and then moved it to make up for it?" Isn't it just two hundred taels that you move around? ”
"Why do you want to burn down Muzhaotang, because without Muzhaotang, the lady and the girl will feel comfortable! You men don't understand. ”
It was originally his own thing, but it became a cornucopia in the hands of others, and the kind of aggrieved and hated to destroy that thing can only be understood but not spoken.
"Madame's heart is comfortable, even if you say it wrongly, it's nothing, not to mention that there is a reasonable reason."
Geng Niangzi gradually eased her tone and persuaded her husband: "Although the misappropriation is wrong, it is not a big mistake. Madame is happy, if you are willing to help talk to the sixth lady, won't we be able to get two hundred taels? ”
Steward Mao only felt that this wife didn't know him anymore, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
"Otherwise," Geng Niangzi suddenly lowered her eyes and became sad: "We have nothing, we finally saved some money, and it was all over at once." You didn't do your errand this time, and I'm afraid that you won't be able to do it, and when the time comes, you'll be thrown down to do some chores, what will happen to you. ”
"That......'s not right," Steward Mao felt that his head was about to stop, and said slowly: "When you first said that you were going to burn down Muzhaotang, my errand hadn't been done yet...... you actually want to avenge your sister, right......?"
"......" Geng Niangzi's eyes grew cold, and she sneered: "Our sisters' fathers and mothers went early, and they were sold in this mansion since they were children, if they hadn't taken care of each other, they would have been stepped on a long time ago." Finally, my sister followed the sixth master, and after so many years, didn't she take care of you? ”
"How did you come to be in this position of steward? Didn't she give the maid around her to the yellow account room in exchange? Now you're thinking about it? Am I not right? ”
"What you want to do is just give those gangsters a few taels of silver in the past, and you don't have to do it yourself, or even you need to be there to watch. You say, how can it be discovered?! ”
"Are you going ?!! or not?" (To be continued.) )
