Chapter 63: The Hu family is coming to an end
The sky was still lit up as usual, and at this time in Hu Mansion, Hu Xiaorou frowned and looked at a large box of jewelry, all of which were bought by her father and her mother before he was alive, many of them were almost pressed at the bottom of the box, and some were still in the corner after only wearing them once or twice.
Because they believe that their father will buy them the latest styles, the best jewelry, but it's a pity......
As if overnight, Hufu suffered a major crisis, and all kinds of economic and financial deficits turned into deficits, and after some suppliers left one after another, such news began to circulate among the people.
"Have you heard, Boss Li of Tongzhou, who supplied silk to our Hu Mansion, no longer cooperates with us, this was all a month ago, and the main family is now looking for a next home, but no one is willing to cooperate with us anymore."
"Well, I've also heard, that Boss Li has a ten-year cooperative relationship with us, when the master was alive, he often brought some local specialty gifts to visit the door, how to say that it will change."
"Hey, driven by interests, now the Hu family is a young lady and a female baby are in charge, and no one thinks it is reliable."
"Be quiet, don't be listened to by others, but without the raw silk, wouldn't our Hujia Cloth Village be closed, the business is not good these days, and most people recognize our fabric, what can I do?"
"No way, just go with the flow."
"Hey, tell you two something, don't talk nonsense, I heard that the Bai family collected all the grain in Qilizhuang at a high price not long ago, you know, we have been in a cooperative relationship with this Qilizhuang, and grain is the main wine-making raw material of the three restaurants, the next grain harvest, but it will be half a year later, and the restaurant is in danger!"
"Yes, yes, several cooks in the back kitchen have been fired today, and I heard that Lao Wang, who supplies food to the Hu family, also received the news, and the usual vegetables and meat are only half of the original."
"Hu family, this time it is really a matter of life and death, the masters are going to cut back on food and clothing, and our future meals must be the same, what should we do."
"Guess what I saw just now, I saw Miss and Cui'er go to the pawnshop with a lot of jewelry......"
"Okay, okay, Miss will come back and ask for wages quickly, and after waiting for some time, we won't even get the money back."
"Okay, I'll go too!"
"What are you all doing, look at the way you are now, how you are worthy of the care that the previous master family took care of you and me."
"You don't want it, don't want it, don't pretend to be a good person here, and don't look at the current situation!"
…………
"Miss, I still have some jewelry." Coming out of the pawn shop, Cui'er beside her looked at the three thousand taels of silver tickets that the young lady had just pawned, and pouted and said aggrievedly.
"Keep what is yours, I gave you everything before, and these will be dowries in the future." Hu Xiaorou smiled lightly, and then glanced at a few people who were following her on the street without a trace.
Cui'er cried as soon as she 'wow': "I don't want a dowry, I don't want to get married, I'll go wherever Miss goes, Miss, don't drive me away." ”
Looking at Cui'er who was crying, this younger sister who grew up with her, Hu Xiaorou's eyes were also red: "Don't cry, you won't go there, Miss, I will support you for a lifetime." ”
"Really?" Cui'er choked with tears in her eyes.
"Really!" Hu Xiaorou assured.
With the departure of Hu Xiaorou's master and servant, seven or eight waves of people entered the Yuan Ji pawnshop to inquire, and then quickly left from different directions......
"Miss, what happened, did those families do it again?" As soon as Hu Xiaorou got home, the shopkeeper Wang came in a hurry.
Hu Xiaorou looked at the shopkeeper Wang's dusty appearance, and knew that he really cared about him, but his cousin specially explained that in the past few days, even the closest people can't say that the shopkeeper Wang won't, but once he knows the truth, who will guarantee that there are no undercover agents sent by several other families around him.
Now all the account books in the core are only known to Hu Xiaorou, uncles and uncles, I'm sorry, when the Hu family has completely cleaned up these moths, my niece will apologize to you.
"Uncle Wang, don't worry about it, Xiaorou, Xiaorou won't give up." Hu Xiaorou sighed and left directly.
Wang Kaitai's body staggered, and a subordinate next to him hurriedly supported him: "Something big is going to happen, something must have happened that I don't know." ”
Wang Kaitai hurriedly staggered out, and he had to go to those old brothers immediately to ask, he couldn't let a weak girl like Xiaorou bear everything silently.
"Let's go, go find Shopkeeper Gu!" Wang Kaitai waved his sleeves and hurriedly walked out, and the subordinate who helped Wang Kaitai just now looked at Hu Xiaorou's unpretentious look just now, and his eyes lit up.
"Xiao Wei, why are you stunned, let's go!"
"Hey, shopkeeper, I'm here!"
As soon as Hu Xiaorou entered the house, she was surrounded by more than 50 maids and servants: "Miss, you are back, that, there is news from home, my father is seriously ill and urgently needs money for medical treatment, can I ...... my monthly money in advance?"
"Sister Hua'er, you fled from the famine that year, didn't you say that your whole family starved to death, how can you still have a father......"
"Cui'er!"
Cui'er angrily stepped forward directly to theorize, this is obviously a lie, seeing that the Hu family is not good, she fell into the well, right, but as soon as she said a few words, she was stopped by Hu Xiaorou.
"You guys, too, have something at home?" Hu Xiaorou's gaze calmly swept over the faces of familiar or unfamiliar people one by one, and the indescribable sadness in her heart.
Everyone also blushed, but what can it be, the Hu family, it's going to be over, in case the young lady sneaks away with the rest of the previous money one night, they don't even have a place to cry.
Seeing that everyone lowered their heads and didn't speak, Hu Xiaorou laughed miserably: "I understand, I understand everything, you come with me, and I will send you the monthly order, which is what the Hu family owed you before, but as soon as the silver is started, from now on, the two families!" After Hu Xiaorou finished speaking, she turned around and left directly.
Everyone watched the young lady leave, and they didn't know why, but suddenly felt that something was leaving them, and after looking at each other, they still followed in silence.
It's better to get the money first before you can be sure.
From the release of the news to the afternoon, Hu Xiaorou did not eat a bite of food, but quietly looked at the maids and servants who had left eighty percent of the house at once, and her heart changed from the previous sadness to the current calm.
She just didn't expect that the emotional bond between them for so many years would be so easy to break off, and she even guessed that it would be good to be able to go two times, after all, everyone was smiling when they usually met, greeted each other cordially, and even played a prank.
It's just that looking at the empty courtyard at the moment, Hu Xiaorou smiled.
"Actually, I should be happy." Raising her head to see the sunset begin to shift, Hu Xiaorou's eyes were full of tears......
PS: Thanks to the 100 reward from the boss of [Dish Name], "Ghost Difference" is about to usher in its first disciple, Xiaoyu is so happy.
