Nansha City, with its autumn leaves, is cool and lifeless. The era of gunpowder is carrying the train of change, as if the Li Mansion, which smelled the crisis, has extinguished the power of integrating into the strong voice of the times early. In the past six months, the Li Mansion has been shrouded in the precarious condition of the old lady and the eldest lady, and the business of the shipping company has become depressed at the same time. Even if Zhaohai tries to reorganize his family business, he is powerless and weak.

Yun Ting ran around in front of the bed of Mrs. Li and her mother-in-law all day long, and the whole person was so thin that she was thin, and Zhaohai, who was her husband, saw it in her eyes and felt pain in her heart. Mother's condition has been greatly improved under Yun Ting's careful conditioning and service, but the old lady's condition is unstable, sometimes good and sometimes bad. In addition to going to the boat shop every day to take care of the depressed business, he was forced to take care of everything at home, trying his best to reduce the burden on Yunting.

On this day, Zhaohai had just sent away Dr. Hu, who was treating the old lady, and saw the old housekeeper Qin Bo running back from a distance in a panic at the gate of the mansion, and a sense of foreboding hit Zhaohai's heart.

"Uncle Qin, where are you from, why are you in such a hurry?" Zhaohai held Qin Bo, and when he took a breath, Qin Bo said: "Big young master, something happened, the fourth master was detained by the officials and soldiers stationed in the south of the city, saying that he wanted to take 30,000 yuan to ransom!" ”

"Why? What did the fourth uncle do? Zhao Hai suddenly felt a thunderbolt explode in his ears.

"They said that the fourth master was smuggling, and the last time the eldest young master, your affairs were also done by the fourth master, and now the new and old hatreds will be settled for us, saying that the fourth master will be involved in military law if it is too late." Qin Bo said with a crying voice.

Zhao Hai only felt that the sky was spinning, he stumbled, and almost fell, but it was Qin Bo's sharp eyes that helped Zhao Hai.

Zhao Hai hugged Uncle Qin, covering his forehead with a splitting headache, and he had no idea in his heart.

After a while, Zhao Hai calmed down a little and arranged for Uncle Qin to quickly summon the third master and the fifth master to the conference hall to discuss. Do not leak the news to other people in the family, so as not to panic, especially the old lady can not leak the news when she is sick.

The third master came to the council hall in a hurry and saw Zhaohai sitting there with a heavy face.

Zhao Hai got up and asked, "Third Uncle, you're here." What about the fifth uncle? Zhao Hai looked behind him.

"Don't mention it, such a big thing happened in the family, and your fifth uncle still doesn't see anyone, alas, many men in the family have also discussed it, it's really urgent." The third master complained.

At this time, Qin Bo walked in quickly with the account book, Zhaohai opened the account book and found that the family's savings were not much gained, and the third master saw it and nagged and complained that Zhaohai was not in charge of the family, and said: "Now the Li family has really become a good-looking empty shell!" ”

"Third uncle, no, let's sell the land in Dongzhuang, how about some cash?" Zhaokaido.

"Alas, it's really a time when the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and you want to sell your ancestral property, and if the old lady knows about it, she will be angry to death. Alas, what a shame on the ancestors! ”

They didn't come up with a better way either, and they ended up breaking up.

When night fell, Zhao Hai walked into his room with tired steps. Yun Ting was sewing clothes under the lamp, and when he saw Zhaohai coming back, he hurriedly stepped forward.

"Yutong, bring a basin of hot water for the eldest young master to soak his feet." As he spoke, he poured a cup of tea for Zhaohai.

Zhao Hai sat in his seat in a daze, still thinking about raising money in his mind.

Yun Ting looked at him worriedly, seeing that he was so tired and couldn't bear to ask about anything again, Zhaohai took the teacup and took a sip of tea, feeling a little more comfortable.

As if he remembered something, he hurriedly took out a paper bag with a fragrant roasting smell from his briefcase, and said, "Yunting, passing by Yushengxuan just now, the freshly baked toast in the store, you hurry up and eat it while it's hot." ”

Yun Ting opened the paper packet, tore off half of the roasted golden and crispy skin, fed it to Zhaohai's mouth, and said happily: "You taste it first, let's eat it together." ”

No matter how many disputes and twists and turns are encountered outside, Zhaohai will feel extremely warm in this place where Yunting is present at home.

"What's going on, can you tell me about it? Let's figure it out together. Yun Ting leaned over and hugged Zhaohai from behind, and said extremely gently.

"It's fine."

"There must be something, you have been preoccupied these days, something big must have happened at home, we are husband and wife, we should support each other, okay? Zhaohai. ”

Zhao Hai held Yun Ting's hand and was silent for a while, and said, "Yun Ting, it is true that a great change has happened in my family, and it has been in my heart for a long time. ”

"Then tell me quickly, and let me, as a wife, share it with you."

Zhao Hai sighed and said, "Yunting, it's really hard for you, you haven't enjoyed any happiness since you married me, but you are always exhausted by this family, I feel uncomfortable!" Zhao Hai kissed the back of her hand, and a crystal teardrop fell on the back of Yun Ting's hand, Yun Ting was moved by the weight of this tear, and she also burst into tears.

Zhaohai decided to tell Yun Ting about the situation at home, so as not to worry her cranky and worried. Zhaohai bitterly spat out the truth: "The ship has been closed for three months...... Only once in the last month, there is no more business. Now rely on selling some accumulated goods to maintain, except for Ah Wei and Ah Sheng to stay to help the boat line, I will give them some money for the other workers, let them go back to do some odd jobs or something, so that they can earn some family, after all, they also have a large family to support. ”

Yun Ting nodded and said, "Zhaohai, you did the right thing, compare your heart to your heart, now we are also benevolent and righteous, and they have not worked hard for the boat in vain." ”

Zhaohai seemed to have something unspeakable, Yun Ting saw the clue, and still asked, "What else?" ”

"And ...... And also...... It's about the fourth uncle, who took a risk in order to make money and pay off his gambling debts...... Use our cargo ship to smuggle arms for foreigners! ”

"Ahh The fourth uncle is really confused! Yun Ting exclaimed.

"Now he has been arrested by the garrison of the Nansha Command, saying that he wants him to live and immediately take out 30,000 yuan, and as soon as the three-day period is over, he will be killed on the spot!"

Yun Ting squatted on the seat in a panic when she heard this, Zhaohai was worried that she was afraid, and hurriedly said, "I discussed with the third uncle to carry grandpa behind my back first, sell the land in Dongzhuang, and rescue the fourth uncle first." ”

Yun Ting nodded and said, "This is also a way to do it...... Then you have figured out how to explain to your grandfather in the future, his current body can't withstand such a blow. ”

Zhaohai nodded, his stomach began to cramp again, Yun Ting saw that his face turned pale, knowing that he had a stomach problem, he hurriedly rushed a cup of steaming stomach tea, and said with relief: "Now that the matter has been settled, let's come up with a way to make money, don't worry, don't tighten that string anymore, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, let's find a way together to get through the difficulties." ”

Zhao Hai hugged Yun Ting, and the two of them comforted each other with their cheeks together. The stomach-warming tea was ready to drink, and the moon hid in the clouds......
