Chapter 43: Replacement
The restaurant is not sealed, but it has been closed for a few days.
The drunkards in the county have a place to go, but it doesn't really matter. The wine in the restaurant is all good wine, and you may not be able to drink it once a month, and most of the drunkards are nostalgic for the small taverns on the street.
The restaurant owner's business has become a drink material for drunkards when they drink.
Actually, it has been for a long time.
The shopkeeper Hu went from a poor boy to owning a restaurant, buying many properties, and marrying a beautiful girl, which is an inspirational story.
Mei Jiao Niang was blushing, she had a difficult birth when she gave birth to a child, and she raised her child alone and never married, which is a tear-jerking story.
Hu Xiaowen grew up fifteen years old in good health, but suddenly fell ill, her temperament changed greatly, and it is said that she killed a maid...... How can there be such a disease, people say that the shopkeeper killed a weasel back then, and Wong Tai Sin attached Hu Xiaowen to take revenge. This is a strange story.
Finally, I deceived a countryman into becoming a son-in-law. Finally, someone gave Hu Shopkeeper's pension to the end, and someone took care of Hu Xiaowen for the second half of her life. Unexpectedly, the person was killed by Hu Xiaowen. Someone depicted the appearance of the dead man, pitiful, the blood had been sucked dry, and only the dry skin and bones remained. It's a horror story.
The matter has come to this point, and it is not easy for the shopkeeper to open the door to do business.
He thought about whether to find someone to confess the crime, or simply push it out, saying that Zhu Yaozu's enemy had come to the door.
That's right, it's Zhu Yaozu's enemy who has come to the door!
It doesn't matter if it's credible or not, as long as someone has a reason. The shopkeeper Hu has some friendship with the master, and he will not open his mouth widely, and the loss of a little wealth is definitely inevitable.
Xiaowen's blood-sucking mother-in-law is also going to be served. Thinking about it, the shopkeeper Hu felt a sense of depression in his heart, but he made the shrew who was messing around with him cheap.
It's just a pity Xiaowen, after this incident, I'm afraid I won't be able to find a good family.
No matter what, no matter what, I will try to live a few more years and save some family property, so that Xiaowen can live better in the second half of her life.
What enemies did Zhu Yaozu have?
The shopkeeper invited someone to inquire.
Zhu Yaozu was originally a hooligan. has harmed many girls from good families, and other people have no courage, they don't steal or rob, and they even often invite the gangster leaders in the county to drink wine and eat meat.
was ruined and innocent, and killed people with a grudge, and said the past.
Chen Erni of Chenjiagou, well, got married, and the babies have given birth to four or five, and they will not wait until now to take revenge.
Liu Sanhua from Dashan Village, eh, fell ill and died the year before last, so he can't return his soul to kill someone.
Ma Daniu from Qinghe Village, hey, escaped into the empty door to become a nun.
………………
There are really few people who have this motive.
Zhu Yaozu, this kid is also a slippery head, and he is either debauched and frivolous, or he has a soft temperament and lets others learn from him.
Huh? But there was a girl.
Not yet married, fierce, and short-tempered.
A poor man, too.
However, I have to wronged this girl. The shopkeeper wanted to write this charge off others, but he wouldn't confirm it. Over time, it became an unsolved case.
Chunhua was honored to be chosen by the shopkeeper Hu.
To say that this spring flower has never even met Zhu Yaozu, but because of the fact that the Zhu family was withdrawn from courting, he was tied up by outsiders.
Although it was Chunhua who rejected the Zhu family, in some people's words, it was Ge Chunhua who took the score, and was ready to refuse once, and then agreed for the second time. This is not a matter of nothing, some girls boast that they will be like this when they get married, and when they get to their in-laws' house, their status will be high
You don't have to be a cow or a horse.
Which Cheng thought, Zhu Yaozu, this kid, married someone else in a blink of an eye, and Ge Chunhua naturally wanted to hate. How old is she, and she is about to become an old girl.
Well, with the prisoner, you have to make up a whole story.
Tsk, it's all about blood. bought poison, bought the servants, and gave Zhu Yaozu arsenic, as for Zhu Chengzu, he was completely implicated.
"Mother-in-law, the cook has made a good meal today, you see that you have worked hard these days, eat more." The shopkeeper's face was full of smiles.
The mother-in-law of the Zhu family hadn't eaten well for several days, but it wasn't that she was saddened by the death of her two sons, but that the shopkeeper wanted to rub her anger and didn't give her a good meal.
The mother-in-law of the Zhu family originally wanted to harden her backbone, but she failed to succeed in the face of the table full of delicacies.
"Hmph." The mother-in-law of the Zhu family snorted coldly and was about to eat.
The shopkeeper of the Hu family coughed, and the maid stopped the mother-in-law of the Ge family.
"Mother-in-law, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Yaozu is dead, Xiaowen is very sad......"
"Cat crying mouse! The people she killed, what was she sad about? The mother-in-law of the Zhu family shouted.
"It wasn't Xiaowen who killed it!" The shopkeeper said, "Although we are in-laws, if you bite indiscriminately, I can sue you!" The group of people in the county government won't listen to you, they only listen to money! ”
The mother-in-law of the Zhu family went to the prison cell, and she also knew what the situation was in the county office.
"Well, as long as you don't speak, don't say anything now. I'll give you some pension money for my dead son-in-law. I will also give your eldest grandson an extra storefront, so that he can have a livelihood. The shopkeeper of the Hu family said.
"If you make a fuss, I will accompany you to the end. Zuo just a few more boards, I have money to make, what about you, how many boards can you make? ”
This sentence frightened the mother-in-law of the Zhu family. The taste of being half paralyzed, the mother-in-law of the Zhu family didn't want to suffer it a second time.
"One...... No, three hundred taels! The mother-in-law of the Zhu family stretched out three fingers, "My pension money!" ”
"Mother-in-law, you are a lion with a big mouth." Shopkeeper Hu's face was not good, but he was snickering in his heart.
Zhu Yaozu knew his mother's virtues, and at that time he only said that the Hu family was rich, but he did not say that he was so rich that even Hu Xiaowen could take out a hundred taels casually.
In the eyes of the mother-in-law of the Zhu family, one hundred taels was already the limit of her imagination, and she shouted three hundred taels in a trembling voice.
Shopkeeper Hu glanced at her a few times, weighed it for a long time and nodded: "That's okay." But, mother-in-law, you have to listen to me. If someone asks you about Yaozu, you cry, and say that Yaozu died unjustly, and poor Xiaowen is going to be widowed. Nothing else, don't say much. ”
The mother-in-law of the Zhu family was overwhelmed by the three hundred taels, and nodded: "Okay." ”
Three hundred taels, plus a small shop, a total of three hundred and thirty taels.
That's a small amount of money.
Another five hundred taels were stuffed into the yamen.
The Hu family is not a rich and noble family. Three hundred taels is already a broken nerve.
The Hu family has a lot of industries. Forty acres of land, a fruit forest on the hillside, five shops and one restaurant in the county.
Restaurants cannot be sold, which is the foundation of the Hu family's life.
Twenty acres of land were sold, a cloth village, and a cloth dyeing workshop were sold, and five hundred taels were made.
In recent years, the fabric business has been booming, and the shopkeeper also wants a piece of the pie. It's a pity that this cloth village has just opened, and only a dozen looms have to be sold, and the dyeing workshop is affiliated with the cloth village, so it will be sold together.
After this incident, the shopkeeper Hu has no energy to do new business, so it is best to buy the cloth village.
