Chapter 185: I Know Who It Is
When he arrived at the door of Feng's house, An Luo directly understood his intention and wanted to see Chen Meili.
Now there are only a few servants in the Feng family in Rongshui County, and she, the noble concubine, naturally followed.
The doorkeeper reported, and before the news came out inside, Feng Ruolian rushed out, "Tong Wu, what do you want to do?" You see my father is sick, come and stimulate him, what? You're well, come here to clean us up, I tell you, you're not that good yet. ”
Tong Wu didn't care about this girl, standing at the door, carrying a gift or nothing, just waiting for the reply inside.
After a while, the doorman reported and invited them in, and Tong Wu took An Luo into the courtyard.
Along the way, Tong Wu looked around, nothing abnormal, entered the main house, Lin Qinwen sat on the main seat in the inner courtyard, she was wearing a luxurious red dress, and saw a smile in her eyes:
"Listen to you come to visit Chen Meimei?"
She raised her head slowly, her eyes were a little more fierce than before, thinking that the previous virtuous and gentle were all pretended, and now she is the real her, right?
"Yes, Mrs. Lin, I am a fellow villager with her, and I want to ask her something."
"What's the matter?" Lin Qinwen looked at Tong Wu with a hint of precaution in her eyes, this woman can protect herself in the torrent of this Xijiang businessman's scam, and her business is getting bigger and bigger, which is really unbelievable.
Tong Wu laughed, it seems that the position of the head of the Feng family has changed.
Lin Qinwen sat on the main seat, his eyes staring at her, and the corners of his mouth carried a touch of understatement.
"I think you've heard about someone being poisoned in my family's Dongshan Courtyard, right? Recently, there is a clue that this matter has something to do with your concubine, when she was in the village, she had a little holiday with me, I always thought, no matter how vicious she is, it is impossible to do such a thing, right? After all, that's human life......"
Tong Wu's voice was very low and cold.
Lin Qinwen sneered, "Come on, call that cheap maid to me, you can ask in person." ”
At the end, she tugged at her sleeve and looked like she was watching the excitement.
Feng Ruolian hid outside the door and watched secretly, not even daring to enter the inner courtyard.
Sure enough, the Feng family has changed, after Feng Dafu fell ill, Lin Qinwen became the head of the family, looking at her appearance, she is also a vicious person, otherwise Feng Ruolian's sister would not dare to enter the inner court.
After a while, Chen Meili was pushed in, she was dressed in coarse linen clothes, with a cloth towel wrapped around her head, her face was sallow and dull, her hands were swollen, and there were cracks between her knuckles.
Her eyes were flustered, and she was surprised when she saw Tong Wu.
"If you have anything to say, just ask!" Lin Qinwen didn't think there was anything wrong with Chen Meili's appearance at all.
"Okay!" Tong Wu naturally doesn't care about other people's family affairs, but is this Chen Meili really the one who spent a lot of money to get people to return to their hometown to take revenge on themselves?
"A few days ago, two bandits set fire to the house of my Yuebaili cooperative, and the fire spread and burned the house next door, losing a total of more than 5,000 taels of silver inside and out, the bandits confessed, the mastermind behind the scenes is a person from Shanshui Village, Chen Meili, I want to ask you, but you?"
"Hahaha......" Chen Meili laughed when she heard this, she glanced at Lin Qinwen resentfully, and said:
"Tong Da shopkeeper, you really look up to me, take a good look, am I the mastermind behind the scenes now? I'm stuck in this place, doing laundry and cleaning, rough and dirty work, how can I have time to go out? If I could go back to Shanshui Village, would I choose to come back here again? What a joke......"
Tong Wu had already seen that this fire was indeed not set by her.
She stood up and hugged Lin Qinwen with a fist, "Madam, since I am not from your family, then I will leave and bother!" ”
"Shopkeeper Tong, don't be in a hurry, sit down slowly, come, sit!" Lin Qinwen left Tong Wu behind: "Your question is finished, let's ...... the rest"
"Others?" Tong Wu turned around and looked at the person on the main seat, she didn't mean to sit down, obviously, she was in a hurry to leave now.
"Shopkeeper Tong, your cooperative was burned, and I lost a lot of money, my father-in-law's newly opened cloth spinning, 800 spinning wheels, 200 looms, and a newly built factory building, covering an area of 15 acres, I don't know if Shopkeeper Tong is interested?"
Lin Qinwen looks at a person, there are always two kinds of interests: existing interests and future interests, no matter what his identity is, as long as it is beneficial to herself, she does not want to give up.
And she's in dire need of cash flow right now!
Tong Wu stopped and asked, "I don't know how much money Mrs. Lin wants?" ”
"Four thousand taels of silver, how about it? My father-in-law spent 6,000 taels of silver on this workshop, and if it weren't for the fact that my family owes my mother's family some money, I wouldn't have sold it. ”
Lin Qinwen calculated this account, they have no weaving method of new cloth, these cloth machines can only spin cotton cloth and coarse cloth, and now the market of coarse cloth and cotton cloth is messed up by merchants in Western Xinjiang, and the low price is not profitable at all.
And if the market wants to recover, I'm afraid it will take at least two or three years, so keeping this workshop only occupies funds, and has no value at all, so it is better to sell it than so.
It's a pity that no one in the county town wants to buy a workshop recently, but someone inquired before, but I didn't expect the bid to be too low, and even half of it hasn't been given, just like Tong Wu's price If you agree, you can lose less.
If not, let it go for another two years, and the workshop will be completely finished.
"I'm sorry, I don't plan to expand the cloth mill for the time being, after all, the market is sluggish now, although my cooperative has burned, but it has not burned the textile utensils, it is nothing more than some goods, so don't delay my production, your workshop or keep it yourself!"
finished, Tong Wu turned around and was about to leave.
"Slow down......" Lin Qinwen stood up and laughed coldly, "Since we can't do business, then Shopkeeper Tong might as well go to the backyard to see my father-in-law, he is not in good health now, he always has something to think about but can't speak, Shopkeeper Tong, you and him are also old acquaintances, you go to see him, maybe he thinks about it and comes out all of a sudden, although you used to be competitors, but he is like this now......"
"No, I'm not familiar with him!"
This Lin Qinwen is filial, but if you think about it carefully, she wants to borrow a knife to kill people, so that she can see Fengdafu? I'm afraid that as soon as she appears, Feng Dafu will smoke angrily and rise directly, at that time, Tong Wu at the scene may be unreasonable.
No matter what kind of person you are, you can't see it.
This time, Tong Wu didn't stay anymore, turned around and left, Chen Meili saw that she was about to leave, and secretly retreated, until the outer courtyard, she stepped forward to stop people.
Tong ...... Three sisters-in-law! ”
