The second wife burst into tears and laughed: "I knew that you wouldn't ignore me, master, so what about yourself?" The business is all divided among the children, and you have nothing? Master Qian nodded and said: "It's good that you understand, I deliberately didn't share it for myself, if my guess is right, someone will come to me every day to trouble me in the future, after all, I have done so many things before, and now my family is divided, there is no money and no power, and those people have not been wronged and revenged."

The second wife asked worriedly, "Master, what will we do in the future?" Master Qian sighed and said, "What can I do, the soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth." In the future, we will almost break off relations with the children, I am afraid that they will be affected, and it is better not to find more books for them if you are usually fine. The second lady nodded with tears in her eyes. Qian Duoshu took Baolan to buy a small house not far from the store, although the place is very small, but it is enough for two people to live, the brother and sister happily clean the house, Tianhui and Zhang's sister-in-law also came to help, Baolan is in a good mood, she feels that she has been reborn, there are no longer so many constraints, Baolan said to Tianhui: "Second sister-in-law, you move in with us, I don't worry about you living alone in the shop, can you come and sleep in a room with me?" Tianhui smiled and shook her head.

Sister-in-law Zhang on the side smiled and said, "My silly young lady, if the second young grandmother and the third young master live together, they will be gossiped." This is Tianhui and Duoshu's eye contact, I don't know what's going on, both of them have a feeling of heartbeat. Tianhui immediately looked at Baolan and comforted Baolan and said: "Good sister, don't worry, the second sister-in-law is fine, I'm not alone, I still have Sister-in-law Zhang and me as a companion, you will also come to the clothing store to help in the future, we can meet every day like we are together." ”

Baolan said excitedly: "Second sister-in-law, can I really go?" In the past, I was not allowed to go to the Qian family's father and mother, and I stayed at home all day, so it was better to separate the family, and I didn't have to see those annoying people, and I could be with my second sister-in-law and third brother. Duoshu said with a smile: "Since leaving the Qian family Baolan, it is like a different person, and there are more talks, and the whole person has become cheerful." Everyone was very happy to talk about each other, and Sister-in-law Zhang smiled and said, "Are you all hungry?" I'm going to cook. "Baolan said happily: I want to go too, I want to learn to cook with Sister-in-law Zhang, and make it for my brother to eat in the future." After speaking, he and Sister-in-law Zhang went to the kitchen.

Only Tianhui and Duoshu were left in the room, and an inexplicable embarrassment arose when the two of them stood there, Duoshu smiled awkwardly and asked, "How is it?" Are you still used to moving over there? Tianhui also smiled lightly and nodded and said, "Well, I'm quite used to it, I haven't slept so well for a long time, and I slept until dawn, how are you?" Are so many stores really returned to the eldest brother? Duoshu nodded and said: "Well, since my father is so divided, let's do it, it was not my intention to come back to help my father do business, and now the shop is doing well, and it lives up to my father's expectations of me. ”

Tianhui said: "If you read more books and you say more, people should be content, and now that you have two shops and Baolan's life, you should be worry-free." Duoshu said: "Actually, I have some things to discuss with you, I plan to sell all the two cloth houses that my father gave me, and then invest money in your clothing store to do it with you, we can open two more stores, what do you think?" Tianhui was stunned for a moment, she didn't know why Duoshu believed in herself so much, she pursed her mouth and said to Duoshu: "You invested all your money in me, aren't you afraid of losing money?" Duoshu smiled and said: "I believe in my own vision, and I also know that our clothing store will definitely be able to do it, as long as you agree with me to join." Tianhui nodded, and both of them laughed.

Master Qian really has people making trouble every day, either scolding at the door, or someone throwing feces on the gate, the gate of the courtyard is closed tightly day and night, even if the maid goes out to buy vegetables, he climbs the ladder and quietly climbs over the wall to buy, the second wife really can't stand it, she said to Master Qian: "Master, if you and Duojin talk to let us both move back to Qian Mansion first and then make plans, we are worse than going to prison now, you know." I don't even dare to go out of the yard now, those people outside often throw stones into it, I'm afraid that I will be smashed and my head will bleed if I am not careful, master, do you really offend so many people. Master Qian sighed and said: "Let them go, they will leave if they are angry, there are not only one or two people who have offended so much, I am now a rat crossing the street and everyone shouts and beats, I don't want to burden them with a lot of money, you just bear with it!" ”

Mrs. Qian listened to people come back to talk about the recent situation of Mr. Qian at the Qian family, she was anxious, Mrs. Qian went to discuss with Wang Shanlian, and Duojin said angrily: "These hillbillies dare to bully my father, I will find someone to clean them up tomorrow, mother, you tell my father to let him move back to live, I will have money and gold." Before Qian Duojin finished speaking, Wang Shanlian coughed, and Mrs. Qian asked, "Shanlian, what is your opinion?" Would you like to take your dad back? Wang Shanlian said pretendedly: "Mother, it's not that I don't want to take my father back, but I don't want to live up to my father's good intentions, you also know that my father is afraid of affecting us, if we take him back at this time, isn't Dad's hard work in vain?" ”

Qian Duojin said angrily: "Shanlian, then you mean that we watched our father being bullied by those people? Wang Shanlian said, "What do you know? Dad used to do so many corrupt things, why hasn't the mayor put Dad in prison until now? It's not that I want to see him suffer like he is now, if I bring my father back, it is estimated that my father will have to go to prison in a few days, and we will be in trouble at that time. Mrs. Qian listened to Wang Shanlian's words and nodded: "It's still Shanlian who thinks clearly, I'm confused, Shanlian is right, I really can't take the master back at this time, the master is afraid that our Qian family will have losses, so we are so anxious to divide the family, and now we can only endure it."

Qian Duojin slammed his fist on the wall and said: "I really don't know where my father offended that Mayor Gao, and he is against my father everywhere, and now my father doesn't even dare to go out of the door, and hides in the courtyard every day, like a turtle with a shrunken head." Mrs. Qian hurriedly said: "Phew, it's not big or small." Wang Shanlian comforted Mrs. Qian and said, "Mother, I know you're worried about your father, don't worry!" When the gust of wind passed, Dorkin and I would pick up my father. Madame nodded with tears in her eyes. After Mrs. Qian left, Wang Shanlian said to Qian Duojin: "Is your brain made of tofu, take your father back, you have nothing wrong, now you are not in a hurry to hide from him, and take him back, now it is best to dissociate yourself from him and not be affected by him." Qian Duojin scratched his head and said, "Shanlian, you didn't seem to say that with my mother just now, didn't you say that you would bring your father and sister back for a while?" ”

Wang Shanlian glanced at him and said: "You are really a pig's brain, such a big person can't even tell the truth from falsehood, let me tell you, since the day your father moved out, he will never want to enter our house in the future." Qian Duojin said: "Shanlian, are we too unconscionable, when we split up, my father gave us most of it, and we treat him like this now." Wang Shanlian said angrily: "If he doesn't give it to us, who can he give it to?" I didn't know where I went, and there was not even a figure, so there was a widowed little daughter-in-law left. None of them are married, how can he divide them if he doesn't share them like this? Qian Duojin saw that Wang Shanlian was angry, so he didn't dare to say any more, and went out in a gloomy manner.

Master Qian had a hard time in the other courtyard, and people often scolded him at the door, he didn't know why Mayor Gao didn't arrest him and go to jail since he had so much evidence? He feels that his current life is not as good as going to prison, although the family's money is saved, but the whole Qian family is so scattered, he now lives in another courtyard and doesn't even dare to go out of the gate, he feels that he has become a street rat in the original town, remembering that when he was the mayor of the original town, there was no one who dared to speak loudly to himself, but now he has to suffer this humiliation every day.

Mr. Qian and the second wife said: "It's not a way for us to go on like this, why don't we take some money and escape to live somewhere else?" The second wife glanced at him and said, "If you want to go, you can go by yourself, do I still want to go out with you to escape at this age?" Although Duoshu and Baolan look down on me as a mother, they are my biological children after all, and I will not leave them. Master Qian said: "We are not going out for a lifetime, we will come back when the rumors pass." The second wife said a little unhappily: "Master, I have been with you for so many years, I think I have done my duty, no matter what you say this time, I will not leave, if you really want to go, go to the compound and take the eldest sister with you, I will stay here if I die." Master Qian said: "If you don't go and pull down, I know that husband and wife are birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster comes." If you don't want to go with me, I won't force you. ”

The second wife snorted and said: "Master, what kind of husband and wife are I with you, the good thing is that I am a second wife, and if I don't say it, I am a concubine of your master Qian, who has really respected me in the Qian family for so many years?" The eldest sister shows me every day, they don't even bother to call a second mother, even the subordinates in the family talk about me behind my back, and even the children born to me look down on me, what status do you say I have in the Qian family? Master Qian sighed and said, "Since you have so much dissatisfaction, why have you never told me?" I see you giggling every day, thinking that you are having a good time, but I am not good, I have not really cared about you, I am too negligent. ”

The second wife has rarely heard him say these soft words to the master for so many years, and now she suddenly feels very sad when she hears him say this, she looks at the old man Qian, he is really haggard a lot during this time, and his hair is gray, the old man was always high-spirited before, and now he has no spirit at all.
