Chapter 142: If you say too much, you will lose
"A-Niang has been busy at home a lot recently, and she doesn't often come to the medicinal restaurant to help." Su Jiudong has recently focused on discussing the future business plan of the medicinal food restaurant with Shopkeeper Liu, and has not paid much attention to Liu Yunniang's movements.
Liu Yunniang is busy at home with nothing more than grocery shopping, three meals a day, picking up and dropping off two children to and from school, and finally tidying up housework, a typical middle-aged grandmother with children.
"Good. Nothing happening is the best news. Wen Yiheng has nothing to worry about at the moment, and after dealing with the official excerpts sent to him, he continued to lie back on the bed comfortably to recuperate, hoping that Su Jiudong, who had gone to boil medicine again, would come to see him sooner.
Wen Yiheng and Su Jiudong live a sweet and greasy "two-person world" in Lin'an Mansion, and Liu Yunniang, Su Ting'an, and Ah Rong's two children in Qishan County are also busy and fulfilling.
This morning, Liu Yunniang sent Su Tingan and Ah Rong to school in the county school, and walked around the market street with a vegetable basket to see if there were any melons, fruits, vegetables and meat to buy, and bought them back to replenish the body of the two children, and grow up quickly.
Ah Rong is a girl, and she is faster than Su Ting'an. Ah Rong, who is only one year older than Su Ting'an, is now up to Liu Yunniang's chest, and Su Ting'an is still a sturdy and chubby little doll, which is just as big as Liu Yunniang's waist.
Su Jiudong has a song to run at home, and Wen Yiheng is an invincible treasury, so there is no shortage of silver at all, Su Tingan and Ah Rong can eat meat every day, so they look cute and white, and they look better than the children of those dignitaries.
Liu Yunniang was picking out pieces of meat for dinner in the pork shop, when a voice of greeting came from behind; "Yo, second sister-in-law, you also buy meat~ What a coincidence~"
Liu Yunniang turned her head to see that it was Wang Baihe, and she didn't want to have too much contact with the Su family, but because she had the happy event of coming to Beijing after the New Year, Liu Yunniang was willing to talk to Wang Baihe for a few words.
"Isn't it, the Double Ninth Festival is coming, buy more meat and go back to pay tribute to the ancestors, and by the way, give the children food to grow their bodies." After Liu Yunniang finished speaking, she didn't look at Wang Lily anymore, and continued to concentrate on selecting pork.
Wang Baihe secretly glared at Liu Yunniang, and continued to say polite words: "I see that the second sister-in-law, you come to the market street every day to buy meat, and the cost is huge. Now that you are living a good life in the second room, there is Jiu Dong'er's medicinal restaurant open, and it is very prosperous in our Qishan County~"
Liu Yunniang focused on picking vegetables, and said casually: "It's just a medicinal restaurant in a small county, where can it be regarded as prosperous, and it is far worse than the one in the city." ”
"Second sister-in-law, you are humble. I see that the dishes in the Jiudong'er Medicinal Diet Pavilion are not much worse than those in the city. Wang Baihe secretly complained in her heart, especially the price, which is about to catch up with the price of the dishes in the city.
"No, no, when I go to the capital to open a store in the future, I still have to learn the dishes and tastes that those dignitaries and nobles love to eat......" Liu Yunniang was too lazy to chat with Wang Baihe, she just wanted to pick out the meat and vegetables quickly, and there was still a bunch of housework waiting for her to do at home.
"To the capital? Open a store? Wang Baihe's ears were sharp, and she immediately caught the key words in Liu Yunniang's casual answer, and tentatively verified: "Second sister-in-law, how big is the medicinal restaurant you want to open in the capital?" ”
"How old? Jiu Dong'er didn't tell me how big the shop she wanted to open, and I don't know. Or wait until the end of the year to go to the capital to know where to open. Liu Yunniang replied honestly, and sure enough, she fell for Wang Baihe's trick.
"To open a medicinal restaurant in the capital, you have to find a place to live, and you can't live in a medicinal restaurant with four members of your family, right?" Wang Baihe continued to set Liu Yunniang, if Liu Yunniang really answered later, it means that the second room really wants to move the family into Beijing.
Liu Yunniang was slightly impatient by Wang Baihe's question, but still replied: "This is easy to solve." Ah Heng said that he has a lot of houses in the capital, and when the time comes, he will find a big house close to it for us to live in, so that we can save time and find it again. ”
Wang Baihe's face suddenly turned ugly, stopped picking pork, and said with a smile: "Haha... Your second aunt is so caring, even the big mansion is ready for you. ”
“…… I'm done buying, and there's still work to be done at home, so I'll go back first. ”
The more Liu Yunniang said more information, and after buying pork and Wang Baihe, she rushed home, completely ignoring Wang Baihe's envious, jealous and hateful eyes behind her.
Suddenly, she learned that the second room was going to move her family into the capital, and she was going to open a medicinal restaurant in the capital, Wang Baihe's jealousy of the second room instantly intensified, and she was so jealous that she didn't have the heart to continue to pick vegetables, so she only bought a few random things and hurried home.
Su Xingwang happily counted the small money he won in the gambling house last night in the main hall, and when he looked up, he saw Wang Baihe walking in with a face. Su Xingwang asked, "What's wrong with you?" Coming back from grocery shopping, who owes you money?! ”
"Who owes me money?" Wang Baihe threw the meat and vegetables on the table, and said angrily: "Su Jiudong owes me money!" I still owe money to our family! ”
"Jiu Dong'er asked you to borrow money?" must arrive at Su Jiudong, Su Xingwang suddenly came to his senses. If it is true that Su Jiudong owes money, he will go to her to collect debts and must add a lot of interest to earn it back, haha! Let's do it
"She didn't ask me to borrow money, but in my opinion, she Su Jiudong just owes us money!"
Wang Baihe began to talk about her crooked reasoning: "Su Jiudong is the Su family, she opened a medicinal restaurant and made so much silver, I have never seen her take the initiative to send silver over to give us a little bit of dividends, do you say she owes us money?" ”
Su Xingwang was puzzled: "How long ago did Jiu Dong'er open a medicinal restaurant?!" She didn't get dividends for the ancestral house earlier, so she definitely won't get it for our third room. You are not angry early or late, why are you suddenly angry today? ”
"I'm angry when I talk about this!" Wang Baihe pulled her sleeves into her hands and mentioned to Su Xingwang about meeting Liu Yunniang on the market street today.
"Jiu Dong'er, they are moving to the capital? How many of them have moved over in the second room? It would cost a lot of silver, wouldn't it?! Su Xingwang began to estimate in his heart how much silver it would cost to move his family to the capital, and his eyes began to shine.
"You said that Su Jiudong, a mud-legged person from the countryside, has the qualifications to go to the capital to open a medicinal restaurant? It's the same Su family, why didn't they tell us if they wanted to move to the capital? Didn't think about it?! ”
As a county seater, Wang Baihe has always looked down on the Su family who was born in the countryside. Even if she took a fancy to Su Xingwang's appearance and married her, she still thought that the people from the county town were one level higher than the rural people.
Originally, Su Jiudong opened a medicinal restaurant in Qishan County, and his business was booming and he made a lot of money, but Su Jiudong had already separated from the Su family, and the Su family couldn't get a piece of the money earned, and Wang Baihe hated it in her heart and was very unbalanced.
Now that she learned that Su Jiudong and Liu Yunniang, who were born in the countryside, were going to the city, and it was also the capital, Wang Baihe was even more indignant in her heart.
"Why can she Su Jiudong marry Wen Yiheng and go to the capital, and my Wang Lily's daughter is still in the boudoir, and no one comes to propose?!" The more Wang Baihe thought about it, the more angry she became, and she couldn't wait to drag Su Jiudong to her eyes and beat her to death!
"Mother-in-law, are you mistaken? I remember that a lot of people came to us to propose! ”
Su Xingwang retorted: "The second son of the pork Rong family, the Tang butcher who studied at the house next door, and the steel egg of the blacksmith shop in the west of the city...... Obviously, this bunch of people are very good, but you have rejected this and that. ”
Wang Baihe rolled her eyes at Su Xingwang and said disdainfully: "How can these people be worthy of my Wang Lily's daughter?" ”
"Our Xiaoshan has studied in the county school! The master and son all boast of the talented women they touch, and they must be worthy of the family background above the master, in order to be worthy of our daughter! ”
"It's best to be a person like the second aunt, with good looks and good appearance, money in the family, and power to be an official! That's the best son-in-law! After praising Wen Yiheng, Wang Baihe began to count Su Jiudong unbalanced in her heart again:
"Isn't she Su Jiudong just a little bit of medical skills and a few medicinal diets, look at what she can, no one in her eyes every day, and she walks with high spirits! When you see me on weekdays, you don't know how to take the initiative to say hello to me! ”
"Speaking of the second uncle, why don't we take the initiative to go to him and let him take our family to the capital together?" Su Xingwang thought that the gambling houses in the capital must be more varied and more fun than the gambling houses in Qishan County, and they must be much more enjoyable to play.
Moreover, the large and small gambling houses in the capital must be more than the number of gambling houses in Qishan County.
Wang Baihe shook her head disapprovingly: "Su Jiudong, they opened a medicinal restaurant, and they didn't even want to give our Su family a dividend, you went to them so clearly and said that they wanted to move to the capital together, just Su Jiudong's stinginess, they would definitely not agree." ”
"And what can you do to get them to agree?" Su Xingwang still agrees with some of Wang Baihe's cleverness.
"Go back to the village and tell the Su family in the ancestral house!" Wang Baihe showed a sense of contempt for Su Xingwang knowingly: "If Daddy and Aunt go out to make trouble with Su Jiudong, you won't believe that you can't make a name for yourself!" ”
"But I told them about the ancestral house, what if they also want to go to the capital together?" Su Xingwang did not agree with Wang Baihe's plan: "There are more than a dozen people in the Su family, and the second aunt may not agree to take us all with us." ”
Wang Baihe scolded Su Xingwang: "Or you will be called stupid!" You deserve to be trapped in this small county for the rest of your life! ”
"Even if the second room agrees to take us to the capital, when we leave, the ancestral house will know sooner or later! Let's take the initiative to tell the people in the ancestral house, sell the ancestral house to save face, maybe when my father and mother die, we can share a little family property. ”
"That's a good idea! I'll be back in the village right away! Su Xingwang slapped his palms approvingly, refused to even eat lunch, ran to the kitchen to get a few dry food to cushion his stomach, and went out to find a carriage to rush back to the ancestral house of the Su family in the village, and reported the news.
