Shang Shigong went out, and when he left, he deliberately closed the door to isolate the ill-intentioned prying eyes from outside. Shang Jinxiu leaned on Li Shuhua's arms and watched Shang Shigong disappear before he raised his head and looked at Li Shuhua worriedly: "Mother, my father went to see my grandmother, are you afraid?" ”

Li Shuhua smiled and stretched out her hand to pinch her face, and touched her forehead again, feeling as if it was not hot, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, touched her face and said softly: "Silly Xiu'er, what is there to be afraid of?" ”

Shang Jinxiu frowned slightly, she looked at Li Shuhua's face, but she couldn't tell whether she was really not worried, or deliberately forced a smile in front of her, so she asked: "Dad seems to listen to grandmother very much, aren't you afraid that he will really divorce you?" ”

Li Shuhua pinched her face again, feeling that her skin was tender and her hand felt so good, and she said at the same time: "These are adult things, what do you care about as a child?" After speaking, Shang Jinxiu's brows were furrowed tightly, and his face was full of disapproval, before he said again, "Don't worry, your father is not that kind of person, he won't divorce his mother." ”

Shang Jinxiu felt that Shang Shigong was obviously stupid and filial, if Shang Sun really forced him, he might really do this kind of thing!

I think this way because she is new to the city, and she is not clear about many things, let alone the person who is a businessman. Even if the Shang Sun clan forced each other to die, Shang Shigong would rather kill himself than divorce Li Shuhua according to Shang Sun's wishes.

Li Shuhua looked at Shang Jinxiu's suspicious face, pinched her cheek a little harder, and feigned anger: "You kid, he is your father, don't think about it!" ”

Shang Jinxiu didn't know where Li Shuhua's confidence came from, and was worried that she would deceive herself, so she asked: "Mother, why are you sure that your father will not divorce you?" ”

Li Shuhua has always been angry in her heart after listening to Shang Sun's words, and when she heard Shang Jinxiu always say, 'Take a break', she felt even more uncomfortable. It's just that Shang Jinxiu is her daughter, and she is a child who doesn't understand anything, so she can't be angry with her daughter, so she said: "You are a girl, don't always put the word 'Hugh' on your lips, so that people can hear that you want to make jokes, do you hear?" ”

"Oh, I know." Shang Jinxiu nodded, and felt that it was really inappropriate to say the word 'Hugh' in front of Li Shuhua, if it was said that Shang Sun had stabbed Li Shuhua in the heart, then wouldn't she just say 'Hugh' sprinkle salt on her wound?

Shang Jinxiu glanced at Li Shuhua guiltily, but he was still not at ease with Shang Shigong, so he pestered Li Shuhua and asked, "Mother, just tell me, why do you believe in your father so much?" ”

Li Shuhua was so entangled by her that she couldn't help it, so she simply told her about the relationship between the Li family and the businessman, as well as her dedication to the businessman. Maybe she was worried that Shang Jinxiu would misunderstand Shang Shigong, she hadn't forgotten to praise Shang Shigong, and Shang Jinxiu sighed in her heart, her cheap mother seemed to have a heart on Shang Shigong and couldn't get it back.

To put it simply, Shang Shigong's father and Li Shuhua's father are from the same village, they grew up together since childhood, and they are brothers with a good relationship. Both families didn't have much money, and life was tight. Shang's father studied well, but unfortunately he had no way, and later he finally became a staff member, but he was ostracized because his temper was too upright. The merchant father was helpless and finally returned to his hometown.

Although Li's father studied ordinarily, he liked to do business very much, and his brain was also good, and he soon did well. When the merchant father went to work as a staff member, he still found someone to help him, and he also gave the merchant father a lot of silver turnover.

After returning to his hometown, Shang's father wanted to set up a private school as a master, but unfortunately he didn't have much money in his hands. After Li's father learned about it, he immediately took out the money to help him run a private school.

Father Shang is not a famous person, although he runs a private school, he doesn't earn much, so he can only barely make a living. Father Li couldn't bear to bear the hardships of his good brother, so he helped him a lot. Later, Shang's father died early, leaving Shang Sun and the brothers Shang Shigong and Shang Shixun. Father Li saw that their orphans and widows were pitiful, so he helped them all the time. Not only did he give silver, but he also helped buy a maid to serve, and occasionally got any rare things, as long as it was not too valuable, he would also give them a copy.

Li Shuhua and Shang Shigong are set baby relatives, they grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and their feelings are also deep. Shang Shigong has been smart since he was a child, he reads well, and Father Li likes it very much, even if Shang's father died, he did not ruin this marriage.

Later, when Li Shuhua and the businessman became married, Li's father specially prepared a rich dowry, first, he was afraid that his daughter would suffer hardships when she got married, and secondly, he wanted to help the businessman. Shang Shigong doesn't want to be a master, but wants to learn from the businessman to be a staff member for a big man, of course, it would be better if he could be appreciated by a big man.

Father Li asked someone to help him inquire, and it cost a lot of money to get out of the relationship alone. However, at this time, the imperial court promulgated the imperial examination system, which allowed Shang Shigong to see an opportunity.

Shang Shigong participated in the imperial examination and won the Jinshi, but his ranking was average. At first, he was just asked to wait at home, but there was no news. Or Li Shuhua had an extra heart, and took out the dowry silver to let him out of the relationship to support the relationship, so someone reminded him that if he wanted to get a half-official position, he had to spend money to make a relationship.

Shang Shigong had no way, but fortunately, Shang Sun once worked as a maid in a big family, begging for the door with a face with silver, and finally helped him get a seven-grade county order.

There are very few seven-rank officials, and Shang Shigong is a clean official, and the family's expenses depend on Li Shuhua. Fortunately, Li Shuhua's dowry has a grange and a shop, and she is good at management, otherwise the life of the merchant will only be more miserable.

Li Shuhua was afraid that Shang Jinxiu would think too much, so she said very reservedly and tactfully. Shang Jinxiu is not a child, and combined with Li Shuhua's words, he has guessed a lot.

However, what she didn't know at this time was that although Li Shuhua was good at management, there were so many granges and shops in her hands, and her income was limited. Shangsun loves face, looks down on Li Shuhua's identity as a merchant girl, always feels that she is not worthy of businessman's merit, and wants to divorce her. At the same time, Shang Sun's family was still picky about what he ate. She also paid attention to pomp and circumstance, and she didn't think there were many girls and mothers-in-law in the family, so she bought some more.

Those who served by the side of the Shang Sun clan were also better dressed than the other subordinates. Even so, Shang Sun still felt that Li Shuhua had embarrassed her.

There is also Shang Shixun, the younger brother of Shang Shigong, who has been pampered by the Shang Sun family since he was a child. He studied averagely, and he couldn't practice martial arts. Walking the streets all day long without learning and no skills, even if the child is older when he gets married, he doesn't have a proper errand, so naturally he has no income.

Shang Sun first mentioned to Shang Shigong and wanted him to enter the yamen as a master, but Shang Shigong refused. It was Shang Shixun himself who fell in love with the shop in Li Shuhua's hand, and mentioned it to Shang Sun several times, wanting to use it to operate.

Shang Sun concealed Shang Shigong from Li Shuhua and asked her if she wanted it, but Li Shuhua blocked her with words. After this incident, Shang Sun and Zhang Chunhua looked at Li Shuhua even more unpleasantly.

Li Shuhua has never mentioned these things to Shang Shigong, for fear that he will be difficult to do. Now, she regrets it.

Shang Jinxiu also fell into deep thought, she was curious, what would Shang Shigong do?
