Chapter 115: Immortal Jump
Listened to Chunying's question. Sister-in-law Jia smiled a little unnaturally: "Sister Chun, what are these words?" The shopkeeper is naturally very good, no illness or pain. "Something happened to him at home!" Sister Li on the side quickly raised her head and interjected, but was inevitably glared at by her mother again.
Chunying was taken aback: "Something happened?" What's going on?! She stared at Sister-in-law Jia and asked, the latter wanted to speak and stopped, and only after a while did she come up with a sentence: "I can't say anything about other people's affairs, Sister Chun will know when she goes back and asks, you can persuade the shopkeeper a few more words, please take care of himself." ”
Chunying has lived in Funing Street for a few months, often running errands for the shopkeeper Shi, buying a tofu brain or sending some books, paper and ink to Brother Dong, etc., and the four of them also have some friendship, but this friendship is limited, Sister-in-law Jia is very upright, neither let people gossip about her, nor gossip about others, as soon as Chunying heard her say this, she knew that she couldn't ask more.
She was so frightened that she couldn't even take care of eating the tofu brain, and turned around to run, but was stopped by Sister Yun. dragged aside, and whispered, "Don't worry, nothing serious." After that, he secretly glanced at his mother, and then lowered his voice: "Everyone on the street has been spreading in the past few days, saying that Aunt Cheng and Uncle Cheng had a quarrel, and Uncle Cheng is going to divorce his wife. ”
Chunying's mouth opened wide, a little confused. Why did Aunt Cheng make trouble again? Didn't she tell her to endure it, and when Uncle Cheng saw through the liar, she would be honest? She grabbed Sister Yun and asked, "Why did Aunt Cheng make trouble?" Have you heard? ”
Sister Yun hesitated slightly: "I don't know what it is, I only vaguely heard her scold the concubine in the family for being a liar, and Uncle Cheng turned his face against her, and I don't know the rest." Sister-in-law Jia frowned and shouted to her daughter to go back to work, but Sister Yun had to turn around. Chunying paid silently, while eating tofu brain, she looked in the direction of the Cheng family's courtyard, and then turned her head to look at Yunxiang Pavilion, and suddenly felt that she had no appetite at all.
Coming to the door of Yunxiang Pavilion, the store was really deserted, two guys had nothing to do, one was lying on the counter in a daze bored, and the other was sitting in the corner and secretly napping, but there was no trace of the stone shopkeeper, and there was a faint smell of medicine in the air, could anyone be sick?
Chun Ying stepped into the store and was about to ask where the shopkeeper was. I saw the latter sitting cross-legged on the floor behind the counter, looking dejected.
Chunying greeted the guy, and then walked over cautiously and asked, "The shopkeeper's ...... You okay? ”
The stone shopkeeper raised his eyelids weakly and glanced at her: "It's Xiaochun?" Come and see us? Have a heart......" Chunying was embarrassed for a while, and didn't dare to say that she was here to buy the goods, so she asked in a low voice: "I just heard Sister Yun say it at Sister-in-law Jia's stall...... How did it get to this point? ”
"Sister-in-law Jia?" Shopkeeper Shi raised his head suddenly, with a sad expression, "Did she tell you?!" She's angry, isn't she? ”
Chunying was taken aback: "No...... She didn't say it, it was Sister Yun who told me, but it seems that the three of them are worried......"
The stone shopkeeper showed a hint of joy: "Really? Sister-in-law Jia is really a good person, my sister is so rude, she didn't take it to heart, and she was worried about our family's ......" He lowered his head and was embarrassed for a while, before he got up and pulled Chunying to the backyard: "Come on, come on, tell me, what did Sister-in-law Jia say?" ”
Chun Ying went with him in confusion, and caught a glimpse of the guy behind the counter watching them leave curiously, even the one who was napping in the corner raised one eyelid. She couldn't help muttering in her heart, is there any gossip in this matter?
Sure enough, when she told her experience at the Jia family's snack stall in detail, Shopkeeper Shi said happily and ashamedly: "What a good person Sister-in-law Jia is!" My sister was in a bad mood and was angry with her. said a lot of ugly things, and she was pointed at by others, but it was Uncle Zhiliang who said a fair word to relieve her. I thought that she would be annoyed with me from then on, and she would ignore me anymore, and even Brother Dong would not come to our door again! I didn't expect her to care about me so much......" His face flushed slightly.
Seeing such a "blessed" uncle with a twisted expression in front of her, Chunying only felt extremely frightened, in order to save her young heart, she hurriedly opened the topic: "Why is my aunt in a bad mood?" When I came last time, didn't you say that you wouldn't tell me that the partner was a liar? Why is the aunt making trouble again? ”
The shopkeeper restrained his shyness and sighed: "I don't blame my sister for this, it's all the fault of that twilight girl!" She didn't know what kind of soup she poured into her brother-in-law, but her brother-in-law actually fainted and beat Su Yi half to death, Su Luo cried in the middle of the night and ran for help, so we brought the two children back. I asked Su Luo, only to find out that Su Yi overheard me talking to my sister and knew that the twilight girl was a liar, so I went to look through her things, only to be discovered by her. ”
Chun Ying hurriedly asked, "Is Su Yi okay?" Is it badly hurt? ”
"It's just a skin injury, I've seen a doctor, I've used medicine, and it's much better."
Chunying breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, "Did you tell Uncle Cheng about the liar?" He didn't believe it? ”
"Of course he didn't, he thought we were trying to stop him from getting rich." Shopkeeper Shi pouted, "The merchant he said he was going to partner with had staked the deed of the new house he had purchased in the capital, and it was worth at least two thousand silver, even if the deposit for the shop was paid by him first. He didn't feel like he was at a loss. When I saw him outside in the morning, he also said that he had invited a few silk merchants who had done a lot of business to eat and drink yesterday, and his face was proud...... As if he had never seen the world, I introduced those masters to him! After a pause, he approached Chunying and said, "I heard you and Brother Hu say that the merchant was a liar that day, and I was still skeptical, but now that I think about it, it's really weird!" The man kept saying that he was rich, but in addition to the whole body of their family, they invited another meal, and they didn't pay any more money, and even the house was suddenly there, and I didn't hear who hired a guarantor. You must know that they are outsiders, how can it be so easy to buy property in the capital? I didn't even say a word to my brother-in-law! My brother-in-law said that he was going to make a lot of money all day long, but in fact, he spent his own money, and he had been wandering in the north and south for twenty or thirty years, and he didn't even see this little trick! ”
Chun Ying asked in surprise: "Isn't he alert?" You told him, but he still wouldn't believe him? She felt a little unimaginable, Uncle Cheng was not a rookie!
The stone shopkeeper snorted coldly: "We have all become his enemies!" Deliberately preventing him from getting rich! also said that my sister committed the two crimes of good jealousy and evil words, and she wanted to divorce her sister back to her parents' house! The sister pulled him to cry for his son, and he ignored it with a loving face, saying that his son was disciplined by Duanniang. I don't need my sister, I want my sister to return all his family wealth. What did he say?! I can't take it anymore! ”
Chun Ying was annoyed when she heard this: "What do you care about him like this scum?!" Let him be deceived! ”
The shopkeeper even claimed that it was, but in the end, he still sighed: "He is still my brother-in-law after all, watching him being deceived but unable to help, I feel really uncomfortable." He glanced upstairs: "My sister has been scolding people all day since that day, and it has only been quiet in the past two days, only in a daze in the room, and Su Luosuyi laughs with her." She didn't smile either. Poor two children, still so young, what should I do in the future? ”
Chunying was in a heavy mood when she heard this, and she planned to go upstairs to comfort Aunt Cheng for a few words, but she knocked on the door for a long time, and no one came out to open it, so she had to turn back to the store. The shopkeeper seemed to be a little energetic, and he greeted the rare customers quite warmly, and after sending them away, he turned back and smiled at Chunying: "I almost forgot, you came to get the materials, right?" Recently, the weather has become colder, and there are a lot of thin leno materials left, if you like it, you can take it all, and I will give you a 7% discount. ”
Chunying calculated carefully in her heart, and felt that it was better to be conservative, she and Hu Fei were not selling cloth after all, if the things were suppressed, even if they were not afraid of being bad, it would be difficult for the funds to turnover, so they went around the warehouse with the stone shopkeeper, and only picked four kinds of yarn that could be made into Supa, which were plain white, rain-skimmed azure, light crimson and green onion, and bought half a big red soft satin, together with some fragmentary materials, and hugged it.
After paying the money and coming out, she caught a glimpse of someone on the stairs, and looked around, it turned out to be Su Luo, I haven't seen him for a few months, the little boy has grown a lot, but he has lost weight, he is already a little timid, not as lively as his younger brother, and now he looks even thinner, seeing Chunying greeting him, he barely curled the corners of his mouth. He bowed his head and went back to his room. Chunying couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
When he got home, Hu Fei had already returned, she told everything she had seen and heard today, and he frowned when he heard it: "This is not good, you have to find a way to expose that group of liars, otherwise Shopkeeper Shi and Aunt Cheng will be affected, and maybe they will owe heavy debts." ”
Chunying's eyes widened: "Can't it, right?" The money that Cheng Da earned before was in the hands of the eldest mother, as long as the eldest mother didn't hand it over, Cheng Da would have no money in the future, and they would still be able to live? ”
Hu Fei said with some shame: "I was negligent last time, but I remembered later that Uncle Cheng has been selling Songjiang cloth outside for many years, and the big silk merchants in the capital were naturally introduced to him by the shopkeeper Shi, that is to say, they all know that the shopkeeper Shi is related to Uncle Cheng." Since the liar has drawn such a big cake, and even the beauty trick has been used, he will not be satisfied with only defrauding the Cheng family of a few hundred silver, if he deceives those big silk merchants in his name, he takes the goods and sells them for silver, and leaves Uncle Cheng and runs away, Uncle Cheng will not only have to bear this debt, but he will not be able to gain a foothold in the business community in the capital in the future! Before he officially divorced his wife, Aunt Cheng and the shopkeeper Shi couldn't get out of it, even if he really divorced his wife, the two children of the Cheng family couldn't escape. ”
The more Chunying listened, the more frightened she became, and immediately jumped up: "Then I'll go back and tell them right away!" "Don't!" Hu Fei got up and pressed her down, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "It's getting late, let's go, you're waiting at home." I think they haven't succeeded yet, so it should be too late. ”
Hu Fei hurriedly cleaned up and went out, Chunying returned to the courtyard of the second uncle's house alone, cooking, eating, and washing dishes, but she was always a little uneasy in her heart, for fear that something would happen tonight, and worried that Hu Fei would not be able to convince Uncle Cheng. She was worried for most of the night before she fell asleep in a daze, opened her eyes as soon as it was dawn, hurriedly freshened up and ran to find Hu Fei, but unexpectedly heard Wei Gong say that Hu Fei did not come back all night.
Sure enough, something happened!
Chunying worriedly circled around Hu Fei's small courtyard, unable to calm down and do her work at all, after a while, she gritted her teeth, simply changed her clothes to go out, and went out with a change bag in the direction of Funing Street.
Before she arrived at her destination, she saw a lot of people gathered on the street from a distance, and a pile of them seemed to be talking about something, listen carefully, vaguely it was words like "fire hoarding" and "liar", she didn't understand it, but she also guessed that it must be the Cheng family who had an accident, and hurriedly ran to the courtyard of the Cheng family in the street house, and heard Uncle Cheng cursing from a distance: "You knew they were liars, why didn't you tell me?" Now that they have defrauded me of all my money, and I almost owe a huge debt, it is all your fault! ”
Chunying couldn't help but roll her eyes, but she also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Hu Fei finally stopped this fairy jump scam in time.
