Chapter 159

Third Young Master Shi recently lost another single order in the seafood business, and there are many people who do seafood business in Fucheng, and the third Young Master Shi has done it for the first time, and there is nothing new, so naturally he can't make much money. And when the third young master Shi was doing this business, he didn't find a few knowledgeable people, those seafood were not sold in time and were not handled properly, and in the end, most of them were ruined and they lost miserably.

Therefore, as soon as the third grandmother of the Shi family entered the door, she took Xu Yirou's hand and cried, crying sincerely.

"Seventh brother and sister, you can pity the third sister-in-law, the third sister-in-law can't help it, next month is Jiuniang's birthday, your third brother and third sister-in-law have no money to prepare gifts for Jiuniang."

Xu Yirou was extremely embarrassed: "They are all their own brothers and sisters, and Jiuniang is not a person who cares, as long as the third brother and third sister-in-law have their minds." ”

"It's easy to say, but Jiuniang has always been the most favored one of the brothers and sisters in the family, what good things haven't you seen? We can't afford to be polite anyway. Otherwise, even if Jiuniang doesn't mind, Daddy won't be happy. ”

Shi Jiuniang is not the only daughter of the Shi family, but she is the only daughter of Shi Sanye, so Shi Sanye is indeed very spoiled by Shi Jiuniang, and many things that Shi Jiuniang does not care about, Shi Sanye is more accountable. Therefore, every year when Shi Jiuniang celebrates her birthday, the brothers of the Shi family have hollowed out their hearts to please her, not seeking merit but seeking no fault, so as not to eat at Shi Sanye's place. Only Shi Tong didn't want to fight for the head of the family, and he was not afraid of eating and hanging, so the gifts given to Shi Jiuniang have never been expensive, but they are all in line with Shi Jiuniang's wishes. Therefore, Xu Yirou felt that it didn't matter if her third sister-in-law couldn't get a valuable gift, because Shi Tong told her that as long as her heart arrived, it would be fine.

However, the third young master and the third young grandmother of the Shi family don't think so, Shi Tong and Shi Jiuniang have been very close since they were young because they are similar in age, so Shi Tong naturally understands what kind of things are in line with Shi Jiuniang's mind, but where do they know it? Even if Shi Tong is stable, it is useless, it is not that the third young master Shi has not asked before, but there are some things that Shi Tong likes to send Shi Jiuniang, and if someone else sends them, Shi Jiuniang may not like it so much.

If Shi Jiuniang doesn't like it, and if the gift is not expensive, Shi Sanye will definitely have to settle accounts with them, so they would rather give them more expensive, even if Shi Jiuniang doesn't like it, Shi Sanye won't trouble them.

Xu Yirou didn't want to entangle with Grandma Shi in front of people, so she said: "Since the third sister-in-law doesn't have money, I still have three thousand taels of private room here, so the third sister-in-law will use it first." ”

Three thousand taels is just a small amount for the Shi family, but it is enough to just give Shi Jiuniang a gift. However, Xu Yirou knew in her heart that her third sister-in-law was afraid that she would not even have 3,000 taels left at the moment, and most of the money would not be able to be returned after it was lent out, so it would only be regarded as a ruin of wealth and disaster.

However, Grandma Shi San was not satisfied, if she wanted the three thousand taels of silver, who would she borrow it from? Why bother to run to the lady's building to give up face. What she really wants is Shi Tong's help. Although Shi Tong has withdrawn from the competition of the head of the Shi family, he has been thriving over the years, completely starting his own business, basically making whatever he does, and he is probably the richest among the young masters of the Shi family. Since he's so rich, what's the point of helping them? Everyone is a brother, so why be so stingy?

The young master of her family has no ability to make money at all, and the seventh child doesn't need to guard against him at all!

How did Grandma Shi know that Shi Tong thought his third brother was too stupid, so she took Xu Yirou to avoid their family from afar. Shi Tong is now doing business on his own, surrounded by his henchmen, and even his wife Xu Yirou is also from a businessman, and she is quite smart, so it is difficult for outsiders to interfere, even if he wants to deliberately destroy his business, it is basically a small fight. But if you want to take care of his third brother, wouldn't you expose a huge weakness to others? Besides, his father also thought his third brother was too stupid, and told their brothers to leave him alone, but his third brother had to struggle.

It doesn't matter if he flutters on his own, if he can really flutter, it's his ability, and everyone has to look up to him. But he became poorer and poorer the more he pounced, and he was counting on other brothers to pull him all day long, but which brother dared? When the eighth brother partnered with the third brother before, he lost all his money. It's just that the eighth child didn't have much capital, and he was not favored at home, and now he has no face to go home. With the old eight as a lesson from the past, who dares to help him?

Xu Yirou saw that Grandma Shi San was not satisfied, and said helplessly: "Sister-in-law also knows that I have never interfered in the business of Brother Seven, and our husband and wife have always done their own things, except for the three thousand taels of silver, I really can't help in other aspects." ”

Hearing this, Second Grandma Shi smiled and said, "What did the seventh brother and sister say?" Why is it related to the business of the seventh brother? The third uncle has long said that the seventh brother's business has nothing to do with the Shi family, and no one is allowed to interfere, we all understand. ”

Xu Yirou thought to herself, if they really understood, they wouldn't keep pestering her. All of them say good things on their lips, but they don't look very good on their faces.

Jiang Xuehe saw that the atmosphere was a little tense, so she asked them to open a box for a few of them and let them go to the box to talk.

The young grandmothers of the Shi family were not happy, but when they saw Xu Yirou's face that had completely cooled down, they had to compromise temporarily.

In the end, several concubines of the Shi family naturally broke up unhappily, and Xu Yirou made a special trip to apologize to Jiang Xuehe.

Jiang Xuehe only smiled: "It's not what you want, I can now know why you panicked so much before you got married, and you really said it." ”

Xu Yirou pouted: "No, I didn't expect that they would be annoyed by the fact that they had already broken up." ”

Jiang Xuehe was helpless when she heard it, but she couldn't say anything, after all, it was the Shi family's family matter, and she was not easy to be an outsider. Xu Yirou naturally knew it, so she didn't say much, thinking that when she wasn't sure if she could be quiet in the future, she should not come to the Lady's Building, otherwise she would make trouble for Jiang Xuehe.

After that, Jiang Xuehe hadn't seen Xu Yirou much for a long time, and there was some turmoil in the business field of Fucheng, needless to say, he knew that this was the result of the struggle between several young masters of the Shi family. Even the two buildings opened by Jiang Xuehe received fluctuations, which made her a little annoyed, thinking that this was probably the so-called fairy fight imp suffered. It's just that she heard that the most important thing for the five heads of the Shi family is unity, otherwise they will not be able to lead the Shi family to a more brilliant situation together. Now that this generation is competing like this, can we really pick out five united?

With their current posture of dragging each other back, Jiang Xuehe felt very mysterious.

When Gu Siyan was resting, he found that Jiang Xuehe had been listless and sad recently, so he asked her why she was depressed. Jiang Xuehe didn't want to bother him with business matters, after all, the little fluctuation she was experiencing now did not have much impact on her business.

"You and I are husband and wife, what can't we say?" Gu Siyan asked.

Jiang Xuehe smiled: "It's not that I can't say it, it's just that this matter is not a big deal." Jiang Xuehe thought about it, and finally told Gu Siyan succinctly about the recent turmoil in the city.

After hearing this, Gu Siyan smiled and said: "I also found out about this turmoil in Fucheng, and I asked a few classmates who have people in the family doing business before, and they all said that because of the relationship between the Shi family, such turmoil will occur in Fucheng at every turn over the years, but there is no need to worry too much." ”

"Is this still a lot of swinging?" Jiang Xuehe said strangely.

"It started ten years ago, ten years ago, the youngest of the first five young masters of the Shi family was fourteen years old, and it is indeed possible to fight." Gu Siyan said with a smile, "Speaking of which, the previous generation of the Shi family is not so united, but it is just that they are consistent with the outside world." They must first ensure the interests of the entire family before they can guarantee their own interests. But there was a lot of fighting in the previous generation, so after this generation, it was naturally more chaotic. They have not officially entered the Shi family, the interests of the Shi family are very important to them, but they are not as important as their own interests, and the few who have offended them are the sons of different family heads. The five heads of the Shi family now have a view of the overall situation, but their wives may not have them, and under the guidance of their wives, these sons will not have them. ”

Jiang Xuehe said strangely: "I think that merchants often intermarry with each other, just like Mrs. Xu, the Xu family now has such a scale, and she also has half of the credit." People like the Shi family should be even more ......"

Gu Siyan said with a smile: "No, businesses can intermarry with each other or not. is like the Shi family, they are now the richest man, so for them, it is enough to marry a wife they like, and it doesn't matter if they make money. For example, although the biological mother of the third young master Shi is also the daughter of a merchant, she has been a piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since elementary school, and she knows nothing about business. And Shi Ba Young Master's biological mother was the daughter of a farmer, but because of her beauty, Shi Wuye took a fancy to her, so she married into the Shi family. She also didn't have the talent for this, so Eighth Young Master Shi was coaxed away by Third Young Master Shi. Although Shi Tong's biological mother is not a businessman, she has been literate since she was a child, and she is very intelligent. ”

Jiang Xuehe was curious: "What about Shi Jiuniang?" ”

"Shi Jiuniang's mother is Shi Sanye's main room, and I heard that she is the daughter of the Bai family in Jiangzhou Fucheng. Back then, the Shi family and the Bai family were actually comparable, but after the daughter of the Bai family got married, Shi Sanye's side was like a tiger with wings, and he gradually surpassed the Bai family. ”

"Doesn't the Bai family regret it?" Jiang Xuehe asked again.

Gu Siyan said with a smile: "It's really ruined, I heard that Shi Jiuniang's biological mother was not favored in the Bai family back then, and she belonged to the kind of stepmother who had a stepfather." was also forced by his stepmother to have no choice, so he left Jiangzhou alone and accidentally became a strong Shi Sanye. After she got married, the Bai family wanted to recognize this daughter again, but Mrs. Shi was not happy. ”

"No one is happy about this, as long as she lives well in the Shi family, who cares about the Bai family who didn't want her in the first place?"

Jiang Xuehe understands such things very well. Although there is such a thing as blood and kinship, this love cannot be one-sided.
