Chapter 49: Return the Waist Card
After listening to Mu Yunge's words, everyone's anger gradually subsided, and they stopped clamoring and shouting, and quietly waited for the liquidation.
Seeing this, Mu Yunge finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Lin Xuanqian stared at the bookkeeper on the side, and worked hard for a while before all the wages were cleared and distributed to the workers one by one.
The workers were all smiling when they received the money, and their attitudes towards Mu Yunge and Lin Xuanqing also changed greatly, not to mention thanks, even kneeling and kowtowing.
Mu Yunge hadn't seen such a scene for so long, he was slightly startled in his heart, and hurriedly leaned over to pick up the two people in front of him, and when he was about to get up, he smelled a strange aroma that seemed to be nothing.
However, this is the countryside, and there are many wild flowers and grasses, so she thought that she had accidentally touched it somewhere, so she didn't care much.
immediately chose a new shopkeeper, and instructed everyone to explain a few words, and only after it was proper did he take the carriage back to Mu Mansion with Lin Xuanqi.
Li Shi returned to the house, and no one was waiting to see him with a cold face, and even Mu Yunxue was scolded bitterly.
"No, I must not watch that girl take away the housekeeper's power, my mother, I sacrificed my happiness with my cousin, in this gloomy Mu family, I have been a widow here for most of my life, everything in this house should be mine!"
Li slammed his fist on the table, resentful in his heart, thought about it, and finally ordered the maid to make tea and go to the old lady's house.
"Mother and daughter-in-law have come to plead with you."
When he arrived at the door, Li stood respectfully, pretending to be a smile in his words, and said patiently at the closed room.
The old lady didn't want to see her, but when she heard that she brought tea and several maids, she didn't want everyone to think that she was too unkind, so she told her to bring people in.
"The mother and daughter-in-law know that they are wrong, it is the daughter-in-law's ghost that makes such a farce, and now I regret not doing it at the beginning, and I hope that my mother will forgive her daughter-in-law again a lot."
Li entered the house, with a smile on his face, pretending to be respectful, and handed over the tea.
The old lady just glanced at her coldly, and she was reluctant to raise her hand, and Li was a little embarrassed to stand there, but it was not easy to attack.
"There's no need to admit your mistakes, just send your brother to the yamen to confess his sins and subjugate the law."
The old lady counted the Buddhist beads, recited the Buddhist scriptures in her mouth, and only opened her eyes for a while before she said coldly to the Li family.
"Yes, yes, when Dazhu is in better health, his daughter-in-law will definitely send him to the yamen immediately, but he is now recovering from a serious illness, and his body is still weak, I hope his mother can give him two more days."
When Li heard that the old lady was still unwilling to let go of Li Dazhu, hatred suddenly surged into his heart again, but he didn't dare to expose half a point, so he could only pretend to be submissive and nodded vigorously in agreement.
The old lady saw that her attitude was quite sincere, so she didn't force it anymore, nodded and promised to give her a few more days......
"Grandmother's matter has been settled."
Li Shi stood respectfully, and was about to say a few more good words in front of the old lady, but he didn't think that before he could speak, he heard Mu Yunge's voice.
The old lady raised her head slightly when she heard this, and when she saw Mu Yunge, her face suddenly became much better than before.
She didn't expect Mu Yunge to be able to handle things so quickly, and she couldn't help but feel that she had the demeanor of her youth, and she appreciated her a little more in her heart.
"Speaking of which, it's really thrilling, I went to the manor with my husband to take a look, only to see those workers and slaves all scuffling together, beating their heads and bleeding, and after careful interrogation, I learned that it was the original shopkeeper who deducted wages, and the worker's home couldn't open the pot, so there was an uprising."
Mu Yunge hurried for a while, only to feel that his mouth was dry, grabbed the tea on the table, drank half a cup as soon as he looked up, and put down the cup before telling the old lady in detail.
"It's really hard for you this time, and I don't know what some people have been in charge of family affairs for so many years, and they can't even pick a person in charge, what is it for?"
The old lady first praised Mu Yunge for a while, then lowered her face and glanced at Li, her tone sounding a little yin and yang.
Li Shi stood on the side, and heard that the old lady was scolding herself insinuatingly, but he only felt that his face was hot, but he didn't dare to attack, so he could only hold his breath in his heart and secretly curse the old lady.
"Now that things have been arranged, it's not good for me to carry this waist card, so it's better to return it to my grandmother."
Mu Yunge pondered for a moment, got up and tore off the waist card on his waist, and respectfully handed it back to the old lady.
It turned out that there were only Li's mother and daughter and Lin Xuanyu in this mansion, and they were not used to seeing them as powerful and blessed, and they tried their best to embezzle the dowry left by the original owner's mother to their daughter, so they wanted to fight for the right to be the housekeeper.
But now that there is an old lady in charge, and in the final analysis, she is just an outsider like Lin Xuanqi, so she is too lazy to care about this idle matter.
"Where is the reason to take back what you have taken out? Since it was given to you, it is yours. ”
The old lady picked up the waist card and threw it back towards Mu Yunge, her face suddenly turned a little colder, and her tone was also a little cold, as if she was very unhappy.
"Grandmother, granddaughter came to greet you, I heard that you have a bad appetite these days, granddaughter made your favorite osmanthus cake on weekdays, and prepared a sleeping medicine pillow, and I hope you smile."
Mu Yunge had just picked up the waist card and put it away, when he heard a shrill female voice from behind, he couldn't help frowning, and when he looked up, he saw Mu Yunxue.
I saw that she was holding an embroidered pillow in her hand, embroidered with peony patterns, and the workmanship was fine, and the maid who followed behind looked at the low-eyed one, holding a plate of pastries in her hand, and it looked like it was not bad.
"It's really a shallow thing with no knowledge, and he shouted before he arrived, it seems that the etiquette of these days is really in vain."
Mu Yunge hooked the corners of his mouth, and secretly laughed at Mu Yunxue firmly.
"You've got a heart."
The old lady raised her eyes slightly, and saw that the things in front of her were quite passable, her face softened slightly, and she told her to accept the medicine pillow.
Mu Yunxue diligently handed the pastry to the old lady in person, and when the old lady saw it, she felt that she was so filial, so she twisted a piece and put it in her mouth and chewed it slowly.
Mu Yunge watched from the sidelines, and always felt that there seemed to be something wrong, the Li family's mother and daughter were used to being yang and yin, and they didn't have much respect for the old lady, but now they were suddenly so thoughtful, it was really awkward to look at.
"What are these two people planning, they must not have any good intentions."
Mu Yunge frowned slightly, thinking secretly in his heart, always feeling that the two of them had bad intentions.
