Chapter 113: There are many hidden worries
Zhao Yongzhong finally settled down, but Zhao Yuanniang, who knew the inferior nature of the old Zhao family, was still worried.
Grateful for the kindness of Zhao Siniang's family to her, Zhao Yuanniang reminded her: "No matter how much money they have in your family before they come. Just now, when they opened their mouths to falsely ask for six hundred taels, you did not deny it at all, but gathered together to discuss, which was tantamount to telling them that you can get this money. It is said that 'wealth moves people's hearts', and the old Zhao family is the kind of insatiable nature, they will never let you go. Although they have been driven away today, they will surely come back to make waves in the future. ”
Zhao Sanniang said with a senseless face: "Come on, let's still be afraid that they won't succeed?" ”
Zhao Siniang said with a worried face: "What Sister Yuan Niang said is very reasonable. As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of thieves. Our shop has only been open for a month, and it has repeatedly attracted the covetousness of the old Zhao family. Alas, the first two times we were lucky enough to get out of the trap. In the future, if the old Zhao family comes to make a few more troubles, we may not be able to withstand it.
Zhao Sanniang was also anxious when she heard this, and hurriedly said, "Oh, what can I do about this?" Even if it's not for anything else, just to rescue the eldest sister as soon as possible, we can't let the old Zhao family calculate us anymore! ”
Zhao Yongzhong heard Zhao Sanniang mention Zhao Erniang, and hurriedly restrained his thoughts, and said with a straight face: "Siniang, do you have any good way?" If there is, just say it, and Dad will do it! ”
Zhao Siniang pondered for a long time, and finally said helplessly: "To be honest, I can't think of any good way." After all, there are only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no thousand days to prevent thieves. If the old Zhao family is bent on calculating us, no matter how much we take precautions, there will be times when we relax. In fact, if it was an outsider, it would be easy to do it, and he would directly clean it up ruthlessly, so that he completely broke off this idea. But the old Zhao family? As long as our grandma is in charge, even if we arrest them, I'm afraid we won't be able to help them! ”
"Siniang, have you forgotten? Don't say that we have already separated, didn't you let our master make a note that you must not interfere with our family yesterday? Based on that note alone, if the old Zhao family comes to blackmail money again, we can completely ignore it. Zhao Sanlang reminded.
Zhao Siniang shook her head and said with a wry smile: "I see that the old Zhao family is always making a fuss about family affairs, so I am afraid that they will also make a stumbling block for us in the future, just in case, let our master set up a note." The note...... Alas, in fact, it doesn't have much effect, whether it can be used to prevent the old Zhao family from taking care of our family affairs is a bit hanging, let alone others. After all, our grandparents are elders, even if they don't do it right, sometimes we have to obediently obey orders. Who makes 'filial piety come first'? The word 'filial piety' crushes people to death! ”
Even Zhao Siniang, who had the most ideas, couldn't deal with the old Zhao family who was eyeing him, and everyone felt discouraged, and the lobby was silent for a while.
Zhao Siniang, who pretended to be good, was seduced for a long time, but no confidant picked up her words. In desperation, she had no choice but to continue to fight, and then said: "For so many years, our three rooms have followed our grandmother's wishes everywhere, and even obeyed their orders to send the eldest sister to that unsightly place. We have already done this step, and our grandmother still scolds us for being unfilial. Since no matter what we do, we are unfilial descendants, so why don't we obey our own wishes and protect the people and things we want to protect? In my opinion, if the old Zhao family comes to provoke us again, we can clean up as we want, and we don't have to worry about those two so-called elders who are old and disrespectful! ”
"Siniang is right, what kind of elders are they? Why do we always respect it? Zhao Sanniang was the first to echo loudly.
Zhao Sanlang and others also agreed.
In fact, Zhao Siniang didn't care much about Zhao Sanlang's opinion, she was most concerned about Zhao Yongzhong's attitude. She was very worried that Zhao Yongzhong would still not be able to escape the confinement of "foolish filial piety", so she staged this play in a roundabout way and took the opportunity to beat him.
But fortunately, it seems that Zhao Yongzhong did not live up to Zhao Siniang's expectations of him, and only heard him say solemnly: "Dad can tell the difference, and he won't let your grandmother lead him by the nose anymore." ”
The words were very short, but they made Zhao Siniang, who had no bottom in her heart, feel at ease as if she had taken a reassuring pill.
Seeing that Zhao Siniang, who was the most sober in the third uncle's family, let go of her guard prematurely, Zhao Yuanniang was anxious, and couldn't help but remind again: "But with five dollars, the old Zhao family can let Siniang fend for herself." For only fifty taels of silver, they can bury Erniang's life. For a hundred taels of dowry, they will be able to put me and my mother to death. Now that they have found that your wealth is no less than six hundred taels, think about it, what else can they not do? ”
As soon as Zhao Yuanniang's words came out, all the people present were nervous.
Jiang, who had always been timid, turned pale, and asked with trembling lips, "Is it possible...... Could it be ...... Can they still take the lives of our whole family? ”
Zhao Siniang said coldly: "Mother, your forgetfulness is too great!" It was here yesterday, Zhao Chenglan not only wanted the life of our family, but also wanted to bring down his grandfather's family! It's only been a day, why did you forget? Hehe, not only forgot, but also completely forgotten. You don't remember what happened to her to get caught, and you just wanted to pay to get her out! ”
Jiang Shiden lowered his head in shame. In fact, it was not only her, but other people who had just been enthusiastic about raising money were also red-faced. And the old man Jiang was full of sadness, and he began to believe that the old Zhao family, who did everything he could, was very likely to disregard family affection and kill them.
Zhao Siniang saw her grandfather's worried look, a little unbearable, and hurriedly comforted: "That was in the past, but now we have Su Ji Commercial Bank as the backstage, and ordinary people will never dare to beat our idea." Even if the old Zhao family wants to rely on the old and sell the old, as long as we are no longer obedient to everything, they will not be able to make a wave no matter how powerless they are! ”
"Siniang, you're thinking too optimistic." For the sake of the third uncle's family, and for the safety of their mother and son, Zhao Yuanniang poured cold water mercilessly: "It is true that the old Zhao family in the past was powerless and powerless, but don't forget, now they have climbed to the Wen family in the county seat." Although the Wen family girl is just a low-ranking lover, and she is not ranked at all in the harem where the concubines are like clouds, but in Jinghai County, where the emperor is far away, this banner of 'imperial relatives and relatives' is still very good. If Zhao Chengqing provokes the Wen family to deal with us, we will not have the strength to resist at all. ”
After Zhao Yuanniang's reminder, everyone was originally just worried, but now they are even more afraid, and people in the lobby are panicked for a while.
Only Zhao Siniang was different from others, she did not show a look of fear on her face, but looked at Zhao Yuanniang thoughtfully.
After a long time, Zhao Siniang's eyes flashed slightly, with a slight indescribable meaning, and asked slowly: "Sister Yuan Niang, then what do you say?" ”
Among the crowd, Zhao Yuanniang is most concerned about Zhao Siniang, Zhao Siniang's thoughtful expression is not unaware of it, but for the safety of everyone, she must continue to speak, even if it will make Zhao Siniang doubt herself.
Zhao Yuanniang looked at Zhao Siniang squarely, and said with a frank face: "I don't know what to do." But I know that if the old Zhao family and the Wen family collude together, we will never end well...... I, always know. ”
A touch of deep thought flashed in Zhao Siniang's bright eyes, and she looked at Zhao Yuanniang like this.
Suddenly, Zhao Siniang smiled faintly and said, "I believe what Sister Yuan Niang said, if the ruthless old Zhao family climbs to the Wen family, we can only be slaughtered." Since this is the case, let's take advantage of the fact that Zhao Chengqing has not yet been carried into the Wen Mansion, let's take the lead and mess up this family business.
"As for what to do, I can't figure out for a while. This method is not something that can be thought up out of thin air, and I have to go to the town to help me inquire about the situation of the Wen family before I can find a proper countermeasure. ”
As soon as Zhao Siniang's words fell, everyone nodded yes, and the Yang family even told Zhao Yongzhong to hurry up and go to the town.
Zhao Yongzhong, who has always been obedient, did not respond immediately, and said: "Siniang, they all say, 'I'd rather demolish ten temples than break one family'......" Halfway through, Zhao Yongzhong paused, turned around and went to set up a car.
"The knives are all on the neck, and my father is still distressed about Zhao Chenglan's slut! Sooner or later, we will be miserable by his indiscriminate kindness! Zhao Sanniang pouted.
When Jiang and the others heard this, their brows furrowed even tighter on their faces full of sorrow.
Zhao Siniang hurriedly comforted: "Life always has to go on, we can't be afraid that the old Zhao family will come to make trouble, let's be terrified, what's the fun of living like that?" Actually, we don't have to worry so much, now that Zhao Chenglan has stabbed the big basket, the old Zhao family must be too busy to take care of themselves, how can they make bad water for a while? Let's put our hearts in our stomachs! ”
Old Man Jiang hurriedly said: "What Siniang said is yes, how to live this day!" Cheer up, don't be so sad! ”
Under the call of Old Man Jiang, the gloom on everyone's faces faded slightly, but the sorrow in their hearts was afraid that it could not be reduced by a few points.
Compared with the anxiety of her family, Zhao Siniang seemed very calm, and went through the urgent things in her heart.
This time she went to the town not only to inquire about the news, but also to carefully plan the shops in the town.
Among all things, inquiring about the Wen family is the most time-consuming. Although the Wen family was already one of the richest families in Jinghai County before sending his girl to the palace, it was not difficult to find out about his family in the town. However, most of those news are superficial, and at a deeper level, it is necessary to ask the son of the shopkeeper Wang, who opened a restaurant in the county, to inquire in many ways. As a result, it will take at least two days to get definite information.
So Zhao Siniang decided not to return to Jiangjiatan for the past day or two, so she stayed in the town.
Afraid that her absence would delay the construction process of the duck farm, Zhao Siniang discussed it with her family again, and after finalizing the various matters of the duck farm again, she got up and left. (To be continued.) )
