In order to figure out the debt, Zhou Jingrong stayed up all night to check the account book.

Only then did she realize that the so-called 180 dowries of the richest daughter of the richest man in Puhe County were all empty shells.

Let's just say that the thousand acres of fertile land, the title deeds are full of twenty lifts, but in fact, those land deeds add up to just a barren mountain full of sand and rocks. Even in modern times, it is difficult to cultivate, let alone in ancient times with low productivity?

Besides, those shops, the huge teahouse is placed in a corner of the alley, even if the wine is not afraid of the deep alley, but this alley is too deep, who can see it?

There is also a ready-to-wear workshop, the old style is priced high, and it is only impossible to enter and exit every day, and it is not far from going out of business. The jewelry shop is sandwiched between two century-old stores, isn't that a self-defeating way? There is no innovation in the spice shop, and there are only a few things that are sold back and forth, and they have long been eliminated by the market......

Zhou Jingrong couldn't figure it out, the Zhou family was the richest man in Puhe County, the original owner was the eldest daughter of the Zhou family, and she was also quite favored by Master Zhou in her memory, why did she get such a shabby dowry?

Early the next morning, Zhou Jingrong went to ask Mrs. Fu for peace, and happened to collide with Fu Yunshen, who also came to ask for peace.

The two looked at each other and hated each other, so they went their own ways and ignored each other.

Zhou Jingrong was surrounded at the door yesterday and asked for debts, and the Fu family already knew about it. As soon as she entered the door, she received a gloating gaze from Fu Jiao.

Zhou Jingrong didn't have time to pay attention to her, and after asking for peace, she begged Mrs. Fu: "Grandmother, granddaughter-in-law wants to go back to her parents' house." ”

Mrs. Fu was about to agree, but was preempted by Fu Jiao.

Fu Jiao squinted at Zhou Jingrong, as if smiling, and her tone was scathing: "Married to your husband, but you always want to go back to your parents' house, it's really not a woman's way." ”

The four words of not abiding by women's morals are too much, and Fu Yunshen's face is slightly gloomy.

Fu Jiao's daughter Lin Shutong saw his expression and hurriedly called out dissatisfiedly: "Mother." ”

Zhou Jingrong was not angry, only looked at Fu Jiao for a long time, her eyes calm.

Seeing Fu Jiao's whole body hairy, and was about to reprimand, Zhou Jingrong suddenly smiled gently, and responded lightly: "Oh." ”

Fu Jiao suddenly exploded, and was about to make a loud noise, when she suddenly thought that after her husband died, she didn't serve her in-laws, but took her daughter back to her parents' house, so what is she?

Fu Jiao didn't expect that she was hit by the stone she lifted, and she suddenly felt that everyone's eyes were looking at her with a hint of ridicule and shame.

Fu Yunshen looked at Zhou Jingrong, and a trace of surprise slipped through his eyes.

He thought that with her temperament, she would definitely make trouble if she was so humiliated, but he didn't expect her to be calm and able to fight back.

Mrs. Fu glanced at Fu Jiao dissatisfiedly, and really felt that this daughter was too stupid to be spoiled, but she couldn't reprimand her in front of everyone and make her shameless, so she could only ignore her and said to Zhou Jingrong kindly: "Good boy, go ahead, let Erlang send you back." ”

Fu Yunshen just took a sip of tea, and was suddenly named by his grandmother, and immediately choked, and hurriedly made an excuse: "Grandmother, grandson ...... today." Have an appointment with your classmates. ”

Zhou Jingrong also shook her head again and again and refused: "Don't bother Fu ...... Husband, Fu Mansion and Zhou Mansion are not far away. ”

Zhou Jingrong's voice made Fu Yun get goosebumps all over his body.

Old Mrs. Fu looked at Fu Yunshen disapprovingly, and her tone was slightly reproachful: "Is it more important to accompany the window to go out to have fun than to accompany your daughter-in-law back to her parents' house?" ”

Old Lady Fu spoke, Fu Yunshen and Zhou Jingrong didn't dare to disobey, so they could only leave the house together with a sullen expression.

Fu Yunshen prepared a carriage for Zhou Jingrong and rode by himself.

Zhou Jingrong breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, fortunately, she didn't have to be in a small carriage with Fu Yunshen's ice cube face who didn't need to look at people squarely, otherwise how sad it would be this way!

There was nothing to say all the way, and I went to Zhou's house.

Zhou Jingrong went straight to Master Zhou's study when he entered the door, and shouted loudly from afar: "Dad! ”

When Master Zhou heard Zhou Jingrong's voice, a bad premonition suddenly surged in his heart, and he reprimanded him without asking: "Why are you back?" Is it another trouble? Or did the Fu family divorce you? You unconscious, my old face has been lost by you! ”

was scolded as soon as he entered the door, and Zhou Jingrong was very embarrassed.

But what was more embarrassing than her was Fu Yunshen, he had already raised one foot and was about to cross the threshold, but he heard Master Zhou training his daughter, neither advancing nor retreating.

Aunt Xue, Master Zhou's concubine, was also there, and hurriedly reminded: "Master, my aunt is also here." ”

Master Zhou raised his eyes and saw Fu Yunshen, his face immediately turned cloudy and sunny, revealing a smile like a delicate sun, and his tone immediately lowered: "Virtuous son-in-law, you are here too, hurry up, come in and sit." ”

Then, he instructed Aunt Xue: "Go and make a good pot of tea for the virtuous son-in-law!" ”

Aunt Xue answered, turned around and walked out.

Zhou Jingrong glanced at Fu Yunshen and motioned for him not to disturb their father and daughter's conversation.

Fu Yunshen was very disgusted with Zhou Jingrong's expression of frowning, but he still cooperated and said to Master Zhou: "Father-in-law, my son-in-law came to visit and brought some gifts, please allow my son-in-law to check the gift list." ”

Master Zhou said again and again, "Come on, what kind of gifts do you bring", while showing a satisfied smile.

When Fu Yunshen left, he immediately sank his face again, and said sharply: "Say, what's the matter?" ”

One word after another, the helplessness and bitterness of being a father are exhausted.

Zhou Jingrong was anxious to find Master Zhou to solve the problem of the shop's foreign debts, so she was not polite to him, and went straight to the topic: "Dad, why did you give me those shops that lost money?" Yesterday, those people blocked the door of the Fu Mansion and asked me for a debt! I don't want this dowry, so I'll give it back to you. ”

Zhou Jingrong is telling the truth, she would rather not want those shops than become an old man!

Master Zhou had never heard of someone returning the dowry, so he was so angry that he slapped the table and said angrily: "What nonsense! The shop has been in your name, and you have to bear whether it is good or bad. If you don't even have this ability, how can I rest assured that the Zhou family's family business will be handed over to you? ”

Even if there is the temptation of huge wealth, Zhou Jingrong can't be willing to take over these shops that will burden him with huge debts.

She refused: "I don't want the Zhou family's property." ”

These words happened to be heard by Aunt Xue, who walked in with tea, her eyes flashed slightly, and then she made a worried look and persuaded bitterly: "Rong Niang, the master is all for your good, don't be willful." ”

Zhou Jingrong didn't say anything, and responded with silence.

In Zhou Jingrong's memory, Aunt Xue was very good to the original owner on the surface, but in fact she didn't care about it, and blindly obeyed and doted, which developed the character of no one in the eyes of the original owner, arrogant and domineering. The original owner's troubles at her husband's house on the day of marriage also originated from Aunt Xue's reminder that "you must establish your authority in your husband's family, otherwise you will be bullied".

Guarding such a golden mountain of the Zhou family, what is in Aunt Xue's heart, it is not difficult for Zhou Jingrong to guess. It's just that the original owner is in it, and he doesn't know it.

Zhou Jingrong's mother died early, Master Zhou did not renew the strings, and now there is only one concubine in the house, Aunt Xue, who is in charge of the size of the back house, and Zhou Jingrong's dowry is also taken care of by her, so the matter of the shop must be related to her.

Zhou Jingrong guessed correctly, the dowry was indeed Aunt Xue blowing the pillow wind to Master Zhou.

Aunt Xue said that Master Zhou has no children under his knees, and the family property should be inherited by the eldest daughter of the main house. But Zhou Jingrong has been pampered and stubborn since she was a child, and she can't become a big deal, so she can take this opportunity to give her a few small shops with bad business, so that she can exercise her ability and sharpen her mind.

Master Zhou felt that this statement was reasonable, so he agreed. But in fact, Aunt Xue had other thoughts in her heart, but Master Zhou didn't know.

Master Zhou said angrily: "You can solve the matter of the shop yourself, I won't care!" ”

Zhou Jingrong can understand that Master Zhou's decision at this time is to force her to grow up, but she really has no business mind, and she doesn't want to owe money to others!

Hey, the weight of life is really unbearable.
