Seeing that the yard was cleaned up, Tao Ru's face softened a little. I haven't seen her for a few years, and many new faces have been added to the family, and Tao's mother hurriedly pulled her to know them one by one.

"This is your sister-in-law."

Tao Ru was pulled in front of a woman with a mean face, and the other party came forward to hold Tao Ru's hand warmly at first sight, and pretended to be close in his tone, "It's my sister who is back, and I didn't prepare any gifts for the first time as a sister-in-law, don't blame me."

Thinking that it was the first time for the two to meet, at that time, Taojiadi's business relied on Wu Heyi and had just improved, so Tao Bu married this woman named Zhou Nanlian back home.

When Tao Ru learned about this incident, he also sent someone to investigate Zhou Nanlian's life experience. Knowing that she was a widow with a bad reputation, she still wanted to oppose this family business, and she didn't want Tao Bu to take people back insistically, the Tao family had no choice but to accept it, but she really didn't give a good face for many years.

But Zhou Nanlian didn't care, and used means to get half of the Tao family's current power, and her vision naturally rose, and she looked down on Tao Ru, who was someone's concubine.

In order to let Tao's father and mother live better in the Tao family under Zhou Nanlian's face, even if Tao Ru was reluctant, he could only be polite to her.

"Sister-in-law is polite, what are you doing as a family? But I, the younger sister, didn't come back when you walked in the door. That's a little bit of my heart, and I hope to make up for it." After that, Tao Ru took off the two gold bracelets on his wrist and stuffed them into Zhou Nanlian's hands.

Zhou Nanlian's face was greedy and joyful that could not be concealed, and after taking the gold bracelet, she rubbed it in her hand like a baby.

Tao Bu next to him suddenly showed a dissatisfied look, pulled her sleeve and said, "You girl, it's not that the family can't afford it, what do you want your little sister's things for?" It's so useless, hurry up and return it to my little sister."

"Go to the side, you know what? This is given to me by my little sister, if I don't accept it, isn't it alienating my little sister? It's all a family, what's polite?" Zhou Nanlian pushed Tao Bu's hand away, looked at him twice with hatred, and then smiled at Tao Ru, revealing a childish spirit.

If you don't take the money, you are a fool. Zhou Nanlian thought to herself.

Tao Bu saw that he could not speak well, so he wanted to show the majesty of being a family member, Tao Ru, in order not to cause any trouble, hurriedly said, "Brother, how is the business in the shop recently? I've heard that it's done well, and it's really up to you and your sister-in-law."

"Of course, you don't know your brother's head? Isn't it just a shop? Business is ...... good."

Listening to the sound of praise in the back, Tao Bu suddenly smiled, and when he was about to brag to Tao Ru, Zhou Nanlian next to him put away the gold bracelet and interrupted Tao Bu's words complainingly: "What's good? No one is going to go, what kind of business is it called? If it weren't for my mother's help, I wouldn't have been able to live a long time ago! I don't have the ability to marry a man, I have to let a woman raise it, and I still spend all day drinking outside, where do I put my face when I spread it?"

As she spoke, she hid her face and wept softly.

The faces of the Tao family suddenly changed when they heard these words, especially the faces of Father Tao and Tao Bu turned blue and white for a while.

"What are you talking about in front of your little sister? Why don't you go back quickly, you're everywhere." Tao Bu saw that his words were exposed, and he felt that he couldn't hold his face, especially in front of this sister, so he pushed Zhou Nanlian angrily, wanting to hide something.

Father Tao also knocked on the crutches and echoed: "What do women do with these things? If you don't want to stay in Tao's house, get out! What qualifications does a widow have to come in with an oil bottle to dictate the Tao family's affairs! Abu, look at your good daughter-in-law."

Tao's mother also wanted to say something on the side, but she was suppressed by Tao's father on weekdays, so she didn't dare to say it, so she could only be silent on the sidelines.

But Tao Ru came back this time to investigate these things, so he couldn't let Tao Bu prevaricate, so he hurriedly stopped Tao Bu's movements, pretending to be concerned about Zhou Nanlian and said, "Brother, what are you doing here? It's okay to say that my sister-in-law has been wronged, how can you do it with a woman if you are a man?"

With Tao Ru's support, Zhou Nanlian looked like she was unforgiving, and grabbed Tao Ru like a life-saving straw and said, "Little sister, you don't know anything

, the business of this shop has long been much worse than before. But the expenses in this house are not reduced, I am the daughter-in-law of the Tao family, and I can't let my parents-in-law starve and freeze, so I can only be cheeky and beg my mother's family for help.

This sentence is not intended to point Tao Ru, I want her to think about the future life of the Tao family's parents, and she can't all pile them in their room, not to mention that she is still Wu Heyi's proud and favored concubine, how difficult is it to raise a pair of old people?

Tao Ru is not a fool, and she has been working in the courtyard of the deep house for many years, how can she not hear the meaning of Zhou Nanlian's words, but now it is difficult for her to even protect herself, so she can't easily give a promise, beware of affecting herself in the future.

So she just opened her mouth to comfort Zhou Nanlian and said, "Sister-in-law, I know that you have been wronged for so long. Don't hesitate to tell me what happened to the business in the shop, and I'll see if I can help you. Isn't it possible to have security in the future?"

Since Tao Rudu said so, Zhou Nanlian couldn't get an inch, so she could only put away her pretentious posture and glance at Tao Bu to let him tell what happened.

But Tao Bu still has some concerns, after all, he doesn't want to admit in front of Tao Ru that he has no ability and is not doing well.

Seeing him so hesitant, Zhou Nanlian had no choice but to speak by herself: "If you don't say it, I will say it. Little sister, have you heard that there is a dessert shop in the town, and the shopkeeper's surname is Song, and he is a widow who drags down a half-grown child?"

Finally got to the point, Tao Ru raised his spirit, hurriedly nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, I know what you said, what did she do? Is it robbing your business?" If that was the case, she couldn't sit still.

Zhou Nanlian's face hesitated, and finally said the truth: "This is not what it is supposed to do. It's just that our two shops are close to each other, and they are both in the dim sum business. But this surnamed Song doesn't know where he got more and more strange craftsmanship, and he made a lot of tricks, so the guests all went to her to buy them, and our family's business was lonely."

It's really because of business things.

But Song Qian did not deliberately target the Tao family, he could only say that he had no intention.

"What is this? Go to her shop and warn her once as I say, and let her go as far as she wants, and see if she dares to oppose us." Taub sat on a chair and drank tea, and said indignantly after taking a sip.

Seeing that he was still as rude as before, Tao Ru, who had seen several big scenes, couldn't help but show a look of disgust, and opened his mouth to persuade: "Brother, you are still too impulsive. After all, people didn't blatantly do anything to us, if we can't hold back our hands, it will be us who ignore us at that time, and it will still be bad for the shop."

Zhou Nanlian glanced at Tao Bu, and also followed Tao Ru and said, "What my little sister said is, how did your brother do business with this brain? It's too impulsive, or do you have the ability to get to the good position you are in today, and you don't have to worry about the rest of your life. What do you think you should do, little girl?"

Before Tao Ru could make up his mind, Father Tao couldn't hold his breath and shouted, "What else can I do? I see that this widow surnamed Song has many ways to make money, and we are both in the dim sum business with her, who does this or not? I see, I will find a way to get her shop and the recipe, so that only our Tao family will be left in the whole street, and won't a lot of gold and silver flow in?"

It was really father and son, after hearing Tao's father's undisciplined idea, Tao Bu slapped the table and said, "Or is Dad right, what nonsense is talking to that girl?" Grab what she has in her hand, won't the money be ours?"

"But Song Niangzi has not offended us, if she does this, won't it attract criticism?"

Although Tao Ru felt that Song Qian and Fuhe were together, she did not hurt herself, she was innocent, if she really hurt her because of this, Tao Ru's only conscience would not go.

"Little sister, you should know better than us how profitable this shop should be, right? As long as we have the money, what can't we do in town? When the time comes, see who dares to bully you and bully our Tao family?"

This sentence can be regarded as speaking to Tao Ru's heart.

Although Wu Heyi dotes on her very much, she is just a concubine after all, and her identity is still not as good as Fuhe, who is marrying Ming Media, she feels

I was pressed by Fuhe everywhere, and over time I felt a little inferior. Because Fuhe's family has fallen, if her mother's family is harder again, let's see if her status in the Wu Mansion will be lower than Fuhe's in the future. Look at the book

Tao Ru was also a little shaken in this way, and Tao Bu took advantage of the victory and pursued, "Little sister, don't think about it anymore. Don't worry, you don't need to interfere in this matter, and if something happens at that time, you won't be blamed. When the time comes, you will still be able to be your aunt's wife in the Wu Mansion and live a good life."

Live a good life.

Tao Ru pinched the handkerchief in his hand, and finally compromised.

"This matter is not so simple, brother, you still have to think twice before you do anything, don't be caught, the gains outweigh the losses when the time comes. If there's anything, just write to me and tell me, and if I can do it, I'll do it."

Hearing this, the Tao family, who had a plan in their hearts, finally put down their hanging hearts and took a reassuring pill.

"Little sister stay for lunch and try my sister-in-law's handiwork." Zhou Nanlian seemed to have seen the good days in the future, and diverted the topic, as if they had never conspired against anything. Tao Ru nodded, and then was surrounded by everyone from the Tao family and went to the front hall.

At the same time, Song Qian didn't know that he was about to be calculated.

Because there are things that make her more sorrowful.

She originally thought that with the help of Fuhe, the prefect's wife, those people in the Jia family would no longer bother them, but not only did it have no effect, but Jia Cheng intensified it.

From time to time, he let his subordinates come to the store to make trouble, scaring away many customers, but because she didn't do anything, she couldn't drive people out, and after reporting to the official a few times, the official was also very bored, so he just perfunctory her in the end, and he didn't come if he shirked it.

Song Qian had no choice but to close the door first to avoid the limelight.

But it can't go on like this, after all, she still has to feed the ingots, and the family still has to live, but fortunately, Ji Changye gave the silver two on time, so she barely survived.

"Hey." Song Qian couldn't help but sigh.

Yuanbao, who was playing on the side, heard her sigh and hurriedly ran over and asked with concern, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" Did you encounter something that bothered you?" Yuan Bao also knew what had happened at home recently, and Song Qian must have had a headache because of money and these things.

"Mother, Yuan Bao doesn't want to go to the academy anymore."
