In the first period of time after the separation, Xu was not stupid enough to squander all the money, although she didn't know how to live, but she was not an idiot, she understood the truth of sitting and eating empty, so after moving her own things and cleaning up her new home, she really invested in a small business and hired someone to clean up the fields.

However, she carried the name of "woman" on her back, and despised the vulgarity of firewood, rice, oil and salt, so she opened a stationery store in the town that sold the four treasures of the study, and also sold books. What's worse is that all her goods are of the highest quality, so although the rented store is small and the goods are not much, she still uses up more than half of the thirty taels of silver.

She had good intentions, but she didn't relate to the actual situation. Luqiao Town is a small town, except for the Qi family, the most learned people are the Bai family's father and daughter, and the others are ordinary rich families or ordinary people. Although there are big families like the Yang family and the Jiang family in several nearby towns, they are not the kind of scholarly 'door' brothers. In the feudal era, it was already a good treatment for the children of ordinary families to have a book, who could afford such an expensive pen, ink, paper and inkstone? Who would play with the mood every day. As a result, the stationery store and bookstore business was bleak.

At the beginning, Xu also encouraged herself to say that business was slowly getting better, but she neither advertised nor promoted, and put on an elegant shelf of talented 'women' all day long, as if whoever bought her things would be nobler, not only did the business not improve, but became more and more bleak, and in the end, there may not be a customer coming to the door for several days.

A few months later, the stationery store closed and she owed a month's rent. Just because the Qi family has a good reputation in the town, the owner of the house thinks he is unlucky and does not pursue it.

These situations have been secretly watched by people at the beginning, and then they reacted truthfully and quickly. As soon as Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Qi heard that they had lost so much silver, they were so distressed that they couldn't even eat.

As early as the beginning of the persuasion, "I am reluctant that the child can't trap the wolf, and I can't bear the daughter-in-law and the 'wife' can't catch the hooligan." Although it is a pity to lose this money, as long as you can educate the Xu family and let Jimei live happily in the second half of her life, it is not more important than anything? Money is a foreign thing, and our pastry shop and needlework workshop have been making money recently, and the profit is very high, not to mention thirty taels, even if she loses three hundred taels at once, our Qi family can afford it. ”

When the two old men heard this, they gritted their teeth and pretended not to know, and they didn't know how many words of Amitabha Buddha they recited every day to atone for the money that had been trampled on.

In fact, this incident was also a heavy blow to the Xu family, but she didn't blame herself for not understanding the market and investing at will, but blamed the people in Luqiao Town for being vulgar and unrecognizable and unrecognizable to the real elegance, and said to Jimei: "It's not a failure, but it's just a loss of a few renting shops and small wages." These things don't rot, they don't break, they don't buy them, and we use them ourselves. ”

Jimei got the same instructions as before, and did not stop Xu's behavior, but at this time she still couldn't help but sarcastically say, "Okay, my good lady, you just take turns to use the dozen or so famous inkstones." By the way, every day, our daily 'flowers', firewood, rice, oil and salt, are all dipped in tribute ink with a good pen, and written on the paper with the fragrance of the gold silk hook 'flower'. ”

Xu snorted unconvinced, "You don't use this to squeeze me, it's the first time I've picked a family to live, and it's the first time I've done business, what's wrong with some mistakes?" I'll have to earn it back in the future. Don't you always think that sister-in-law is how to be good? She is just a businessman's 'daughter', how much can she do? It's no better than that I'm literate and hyphenation, and I've really read the articles of the sages. Look, I'm going to be better off with you than they are. ”

Jimei turned around, hiding the distrust on her face and said, "Don't talk about it later, what can I do now?" There is only a little money left, and you still refuse to save some food and clothing, do you really want to reach out to your mother's house or my 'milk' and 'milk'? ”

Xu stiffened his neck and said, "Don't worry, we can't let others laugh at us." Terrific...... I quit the newly hired maid at home, and Meng'er and I also did this bit of housework. Hum. ”

After they separated, they hired a mother-in-law to clean, cook and laundry or something, Xu's is used to being lavish, and he doesn't know the employment market, and he doesn't know how to find people, so the salary is very high, and the people he is looking for don't know the details. Therefore, although she is picky and difficult to 'serve', the mother-in-law is still patient and stammering day by day, and her daily life is also arranged 'finely', and Xu doesn't pay attention to anything else.

But she didn't know that this woman was unclean with her hands and feet, and she hadn't noticed that she had secretly hidden a lot of things these days. Now she said that she was going to dismiss people, and she was embarrassed to make up a tael of silver. Where did the woman see such a stupid thing, and she left happily, and as soon as she left, there was no trace, and she didn't know where she had gone. When Meng'er found out that Xu had lost a lot of soft jewelry, and even had two famous papers and two famous inkstones, it was too late for Xu to regret it.

When I first heard this situation, I was a little soft-hearted, so I found an opportunity to go to the 'door' and wanted to help Xu. She thought that this ignorant 'woman' had learned a lesson, her attitude would be better, and she would understand something, but she didn't expect to hit a soft nail.

Xu thought that Ruchu was here to demonstrate, and said with a tough attitude, "Thank you sister-in-law for your concern, although it is not going well on my side, I have fallen into the hands of some villains, but I don't want to rely on others and be favored." Although Jimei and I are young, we can solve these things by ourselves, so we don't have to worry about my sister-in-law. Otherwise, wouldn't it make people see jokes in vain? ”

She choked Yae with her words, and as soon as she walked out of the 'door', she shouted, "Miss, you are so kind. She was so ignorant of what to do, she deserved to starve to death. Let's help her, she also pointed out that Sang scolded Huai and said let's see jokes, this is too villainous! What do you say you can solve these things, and the thirty taels of silver when the family is separated is still from the young lady. Take other people's money to 'spend' and play, and in the end you don't need others, how can there be such a reason in the world? ”

Ruchu was also a little angry, but she could think about it, so she comforted Yae Dao, "It's too much of a hurry." She had to fall a little bigger to know how the word 'embarrassed' was written. I just feel sorry for Jimei, so I can't hold my breath. You're right, we won't take the initiative in the future, I have to wait for her to come to the 'door' to beg me before I make a move, and I have to beg three times and four times, otherwise it will seem that I am cheap, and she doesn't know what it means to have a difficult life! ”

made up his mind, went home to appease the two old men, and settled down as early as he was at the beginning, and ran his business well. She doesn't seek to soar, as long as the family is prosperous and prosperous, and no longer worries about money, so she does not continue to expand her business territory, she is completely able to do it, that is, she is not too tired, and her business is still very prosperous. On the other hand, she ostensibly ignored Jimei's side, but the people she sent kept passing on the news of Jimei's two children.
