Chapter 82: Losing money
Not long after the marriage between Du Yuanniang and Song Erlang was decided, Uncle Du and Uncle Du's mother came to Kyoto, and they also took Du Yu, who was kicked out of the Yan family.
As soon as they saw Mrs. Yan, the Du family asked Du Yu to kowtow to her to admit her mistakes, and begged Mrs. Yan to let Du Yu stay in Kyoto in front of her relatives.
Du Yu was personally ordered by Yan Li to drive him away, and Mrs. Yan would not go against her son, but in order to take care of her younger brother's face, she still persuaded them to take Du Yu back and teach her well.
Aunt Du saw that Mrs. Yan didn't eat oil and salt, and said angrily: "Sister is really so ruthless, Brother Yu is your own nephew, is it for the sake of a few provocative words from outsiders, you have to cut off the love between our two families?" ”
Although these words were said to Mrs. Yan, everyone understood that they pointed to Qi Tanying from the beginning.
Mrs. Yan's heart was clear, she glanced at Du Yu who was kneeling on the ground, and she didn't have to guess what this nephew said to his parents when he went home. Three points of truth was also added by him to ten points.
The son is right, the dignified man doesn't want to be enterprising, and he specializes in the long-tongued woman in the market, which is really useless.
Not to mention that he also coveted the Yan family's wealth and cursed his son.
What do such people do at home?
Thinking of this, there was a hint of annoyance on her face, "If my brother and sister want to blame, blame my Yanjiadi hut for being narrow, and I can't afford your big Buddha." ”
Aunt Du didn't give up when she heard this, "Sister, you can't say that." My brother Yu just used a few more pots of ice, why is it so serious, besides, his ice was given by his sister, Yuan Niang didn't say anything, why did Sister have to hold on to it? ”
Old Mrs. Yan didn't argue with her, just looked at Du Yu and asked, "Your parents are here today, let me ask you, have you ever had ill intentions towards my Yan family?" ”
Du Yu's heart tightened when he heard this, what did his aunt mean by this, why did she suddenly ask about this?
Did someone say something to her?
was full of suspicions in his heart, but he denied it again and again: "Auntie, my nephew is really wronged." Since coming to Kyoto, my nephew has always regarded my aunt and cousin as dependent, and it is too late to respect and maintain them, so how can I have other thoughts. ”
As he spoke, he began to swear and swear, and said that someone must have sowed discord. Although Qi Tanying's name was not mentioned, the words were pointing to her.
Mrs. Yan was so angry that she had a headache, this mother and son are really mothers and sons, and they have to bite others no matter what they do.
"Today, I want to make it clear to you that it was Du Yu who was kicked out of the Yan family because he was not right, and he has nothing to do with others." Seeing that Aunt Du was going to argue with herself again, she told all the things Du Yulai had done after coming to the Yan family, one by one.
At the beginning, Du Yu and Yan Wei stayed in the Yan family together, and Mrs. Yan did not treat the two of them badly in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, not only assigned them maids, but also arranged errands for them according to their strengths.
Yan Wei has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he is a generous person, Yan Li found a way to stuff him into the Tiger Guard Camp. Du Yu couldn't study, and he had never learned martial arts, but he had some business acumen, so he gave him a few shops for him to take care of.
Shinong industry and commerce, although the merchants are rich, but the status is the lowest. Du Yu saw that Yan Wei, who was not as good as himself, could enter the Huwei camp, but he had to do lowly business, so he was naturally dissatisfied.
cursed his cousin, coveted the Yan family's wealth, molested his cousin's sister-in-law to marry the maidservant, forced him to sleep with the Yan family's maid, seized his sister's ice basin, and greedy for ink shop.
One by one, there is evidence.
How did Uncle Du and Uncle Du know that their son had done so many bastard things, especially after hearing that he had drunk and cursed Yan Li, the couple were stunned.
Uncle Du kicked his son fiercely, and hurriedly explained to Mrs. Yan, "Sister, this evil obstacle has always liked to talk nonsense when he drinks alcohol, and his words can't be taken seriously, not seriously." ”
Aunt Du was also busy saying: "Yes, sister, don't take it to heart." Brother Yu, this kid is kind-hearted, and he must have been bewitched by the people around him. ”
Old Lady Yan looked at them expressionlessly to make up for Du Yu.
After the two of them stopped, they said, "No matter what, the Yan family will not keep him." Take him back to your hometown immediately, and when you go back, you must restrain him well, and don't let him make an irreparable mistake. ”
Her words made Uncle Du and Aunt Du's eyes widen.
Aunt Du gave her husband a look, and Uncle Du immediately put on a crying face after receiving it, "Sister, we can't go back." ”
Old Lady Yan chuckled in her heart when she heard this, "What's the matter?" ”
Uncle Du suddenly knelt down, buried his head and said, "I sold all the fields and houses in my family. ”
Hearing this, Old Lady Yan's brows furrowed, and her face was dark and uncertain.
Uncle Du didn't dare to hide it from her, so he had to tell the truth.
It turned out that on the way back to their hometown after attending Yan Li's wedding, Uncle Du and Aunt Du met a merchant from the Western Regions, bought a batch of goods from the merchant of the Western Regions, and made a lot of money after transporting them back to Anhui and Suzhou.
Uncle Du's mind became active, and he wrote a letter to invite the merchants of the Western Regions to Anhui and Suzhou, and then cooperated with them to set up a caravan specializing in selling goods in the Western Regions.
At the beginning, Uncle Du was still cautious, and only invested half of his net worth in the caravan. Three months later, the caravan brought back a sizable shipment of goods from the Western Regions. After selling all those goods, Uncle Du made a lot of money.
Seeing that the return from selling goods from the Western Regions was so high, Uncle Du thought about doing a big job, not only investing all his family wealth, but also pulling a few merchants into shares.
Just as he was dreaming about the return of the caravan in Wansu, the caravan suddenly lost news. Uncle Du was anxious, and sent someone to inquire only to find out that the caravan had encountered bandits after leaving Yumen Pass, not only were the people and money gone, but even the horses and camels were robbed by the bandits.
In other words, this time when he went to the Western Regions, Uncle Du not only lost all his money, but also had to compensate the merchants for their losses and compensate the families of the caravan members.
Uncle Du had no choice but to sell the family's land and house, and even took out the dowry of Uncle Du's mother to offset the losses of the merchants, and the pensions of the caravan members were borrowed from Uncle Du's mother's family.
Of course, in order to borrow money, he also gave the Du family's ancestral house to others.
All the foundations of the couple in Anhui and Suzhou were gone, so they had to go to Beijing to seek refuge with Mrs. Yan, but they didn't expect to meet Du Yu who was sent back to his hometown halfway.
That's why the three of them returned to Kyoto together.
Hearing this, Mrs. Yan, who had seen strong winds and waves, was also so angry that she couldn't speak.
Idiot! If you don't even know the roots, you will hand over all your net worth to others, and besides, there is a risk in doing business, and those merchants who have invested in the shares will not know? He's good, if someone asks him to pay, he really loses, how can there be such a stupid person in the world?
If it weren't for the fact that her legs were not good at walking, Mrs. Yan would have gotten up and beaten people a long time ago.
