Chapter 43: Rumors
"Daddy! If you insist on not wanting to help your daughter, then your daughter will have to figure it out on her own! ”
White. After Meng Ting finished speaking, she didn't wait for Master Bai to speak, and left angrily.
Master Bai looked at her iron-hearted posture and sighed helplessly, but he felt that Bai Jiujiu's marriage to Xu Huaiqing had become a foregone conclusion, and it was impossible to change it. Meng Ting will know how to turn back if she hits the south wall, so she didn't say anything.
"I'm! How can Dad do this! ”
"Little ...... Miss, since the master has said so, don't think about the Xu family anymore. Winter Rain fell to his knees and shivered.
"Hmph, if Dad doesn't help me, I'll figure it out by myself, you come over."
White. Meng Ting beckoned to Dong Yu and motioned for her to come closer to her, and the two muttered for a while, and a trace of hesitation flashed on Dong Yu's face.
"Miss, this ......"
"What, now even you, I can't call it?!"
"Don't dare, miss, the slave will do it."
While the Bai family was brewing a conspiracy, Bai Jiujiu was also worried about his shop.
Since the last time Madame Bai came to make such a fuss, the neighbors were no longer willing to patronize, as if they were afraid of getting into trouble. Coupled with Mrs. Bai's malicious guidance, many people feel that Bai Jiujiu is not kind, and she doesn't care about her mother's life or death after she gets married.
Even with doubts about the quality of Bai Jiujiu's embroidery, the business of the Xu family's shop plummeted. The business is so bad that even the guys' monthly money is about to be paid, Bai Jiujiu's recent hair has lost a lot of money, and it looks like it's about to be the time to settle the salary at the end of the month, if you can't pay the guys, I'm afraid those guys will have to strike.
When Xu Huaiqing came back, what he saw was that there were only three or three customers in the shop, and the emptiness was not as lively as when the stall was set up before.
"What's wrong, what's wrong, I've only been out for a few days, why has our business become so bad?"
"Don't mention it, my mother-in-law smashed the shop with a group of people, and released the news that I was a white-eyed wolf, only caring about myself but forgetting my mother's house, no, the neighbors inevitably want to say, I think I am not kind, and the quality of the embroidery I do is not good, and the business of this store is naturally not good."
"Your mother-in-law? You mean Lady White? Xu Huaiqing frowned when he heard this.
"But no, my mother-in-law has looked at me unpleasantly since I was a child, and she doesn't spare any hands when she smears it."
Hearing that Bai Jiujiu still had the strength to laugh at himself, Xu Huaiqing chuckled and shook his head, but this matter still needs a solution after all, and it is not a matter to let it go like this.
After lowering his head and muttering for a long time, Xu Huaiqing said with a smile, "Actually, this matter is not difficult to solve." ”
"Do you have a way?"
"Customers are reluctant to come, just think that your embroidery may not be of good quality, then we will hold an event, anyone who can pick out problems in your embroidery, you can take away your embroidery for free, and we also provide each other with bonuses. As for those who are afraid that they will get into trouble when they come to our store, you can hire a few more thugs and let them stand at the door and watch the door. ”
"That's right! Why didn't I think of it! You're so smart! ”
After listening to Xu Huaiqing's words, Bai Jiujiu's eyes lit up, and he spared no effort to praise Xu Huaiqing.
Bai Jiujiu's words of praise made Xu Huaiqing very useful, and the corners of his mouth rose silently, "Actually, it's not difficult to think of it, it's just that you are a fan of the authorities." ”
With Xu Huaiqing's words, Bai Jiujiu adjusted the business situation of the store, and sure enough, as soon as this activity was promoted, the reputation of the Xu family's store was completely out, the business was getting better and better, and there were even more customers than when they were at their peak before.
Just when Bai Jiujiu was happy to solve a big problem, she found that there was another bad rumor among the neighbors.
On this day, Bai Jiujiu was choosing vegetables in the courtyard of the Xu family, and Wang entered the door angrily with a basket of vegetables.
"Mother, you're back."
"Hmm."
Wang replied without yin or yang, put down the basket and went straight to his room.
When Bai Jiujiu saw Wang's appearance, he guessed that the other party should have heard those rumors, and stared at Wang's closed door for a while before sighing helplessly.
The Bai family has always kept the matter of marrying a concubine from the Wang family, just for fear that the Wang family will think too much, after all, in her eyes, Xu Huaiqing is good at everything, how can she let the Bai family prevaricate with a concubine.
Xu Weishan had also spread similar rumors before, but they were all petty fights at the time, so they did not reach the ears of the Wang family. This time, it is obvious that someone is pushing behind it, as long as you go out, you can hear people talking about it, and Wang is naturally inevitable.
White. Meng Ting originally wanted to make a big deal about the rumors of a substitute marriage, and it was best to make it known to everyone, so that the people of the Xu family would dislike Bai Jiujiu, but it was a pity that although the Wang family was psychologically awkward, she felt that Bai Jiujiu's identity was not worthy of her son.
But people's hearts are flesh and blood, and what Bai Jiujiu did during this period in the Xu family, the Wang family also saw it, but he couldn't get over this hurdle in his heart.
In the evening, Wang also had an unusually straight face, and went back to the room after eating in a hurry, without even looking at Bai Jiujiu during the period.
Xu Huaiqing saw all this in his eyes, and after Wang returned to the room, he also followed.
"Mother, do you think Jiu Jiu is a concubine and dislike Jiu Jiu."
When Wang heard Xu Huaiqing's straightforward words, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then lowered his eyes, not daring to look at Xu Huaiqing.
As soon as Xu Huaiqing saw Wang's appearance, he knew what she was thinking in her heart, and couldn't help sighing.
"Mother, what kind of person is Jiujiu, after getting along for so long, I think you should also know that she is really for the good of our Xu family. Changing to the concubine of the Bai family, it is not certain whether she can do this. ”
Xu Huaiqing's words made Wang's body stiffen, thinking that Bai Jiujiu had been working hard for this family, but she gave her a cold face because of her status as a concubine, and she couldn't help but blush.
Xu Huaiqing saw that the Wang family had loosened, and even added a heavy hammer, "Mother, you and Jiujiu are the most important people in me, if you have been like this with Jiujiu, then ...... What can I do with my son? In the final analysis, the Bai family just asked Jiu Jiu to marry because I had a leg disease, and the son was too useless. ”
Hearing Xu Huaiqing blame himself, Wang raised his head in a hurry, "Huaiqing, these mothers know that Jiujiu is a good boy, and it is the mother who wants to go wrong." Mother promises, it will never be like this again in the future. ”
