my grandmother

Chapter 165 Alertness
Li Xiaonan sat in the gate of Yueyang cloth shop, looking at Yu's cloth shop across the street with her chin in her hand.

In the Yu family's cloth village, Yin's sister-in-law clapped her hands from time to time, talking and laughing at the Yu family's grandma.

The eldest grandma of the Yu family had a reserved look on her face, she smiled and remained silent most of the time.

Sister-in-law Yin was talking, turned around, and waved at Yueyang Cloth Village. Li Xiaonan looked at Sister-in-law Yin who was beckoning in puzzlement. Talking and laughing, the Yu family's grandma glanced sideways at Li Xiaonan, Yin's sister-in-law turned around again, waved again, and turned around again, Yu's grandma's complexion was not very good.

Li Xiaonan held her chin and watched with a smile.Sister Yin's gesture was not sincere at all, and she didn't know what it meant.

Sister-in-law Yin said a few more words, and then she left Yujiabuzhuang and came back.

"Are you waving like that to call someone over?" Li Xiaonan asked with a smile.

Sister-in-law Yin picked up Li Xiaonan, dragged her into the shop, leaned against the corner of the counter, and said with a smile: "Who else can I tell you to come over.

"On the day she got married, didn't we leave as soon as we settled down? I told that sister, it's not that I want to leave, it's you who insist."

Li Xiaonan raised her eyebrows.

That day, it was obviously Sister-in-law Yin who was tired of seeing the family pretending to be a fake, and said that she couldn't stand it any longer, and dragged her away.

"I told her that our family originally planned not to go alone. It was me who said something, so your elder sister reluctantly nodded and asked you to go and deal with it. Because of this, you still quarreled with your elder sister. Temper." Sister Yin smiled.

"Are you trying to say that our family looks down on their Wu family?" Li Xiaonan answered.

"Smart girl!" Sister-in-law Yin nodded Li Xiaonan's forehead and leaned over her ear, "I told her: It's not that your sisters look down on their Wu family. No, I thought the matchmakers were really bad.

"You guys just moved here and thought that Wu's family and Matchmaker Miao belonged to the same family. I can't blame your family for this. The neighbors said that their Wu family and Matchmaker Miao must be sisters or cousins. In short, they are very close. .

"She said that your elder sister was very polite to her mother, so I laughed and said that I would call her fourth sister and see if she would come over."

Sister Yin laughed as she spoke.

"Ah!" Li Xiaonan raised a finger, "First, gossip can only be listened to as gossip, and second, people with good character can also talk nonsense that turns black and white."

Sister-in-law Yin glanced sideways at Li Xiaonan, and after a moment, she laughed, "Smart girl! My sister-in-law told you that you can't believe everything anyone says, not even your own parents! You have to know how to listen and think."

On the opposite side of the Yu Family Cloth Village, Yu Dalang saw Sister-in-law Yin gone, came out from inside, looked at Sister-in-law Yin's back and asked, "Why is she here?"

"It is said that their Yueyang cloth village is the general affairs of the scholarly family, and our Yu family cloth village is the main business of the merchants." Grandma Yu's voice was sweet and soft.

"It's all a cloth shop, it's all a business!" Yu Dalang snorted with a grim expression on his face.

The dislike of the Li family has always been a thorn in his heart, and it makes him uncomfortable to think about it.

"That's what I said. Well, it's okay to talk about it, and I'm still not stubborn. Who said that there are no scholars in our Yu family." Grandma Yu looked across.

"Let our son study hard in the future." Yu Dalang answered, "You watch in the shop, and I'll go for a walk."

He wants to earn money well, and hire the best husband for his son in the future. His son will definitely be able to pass the examination as a scholar in his teens, and the days to come will be long!

Linhai Town, Silk Headquarters.

President Zhu drooped his eye bags, and listened to Guanshi Han's report, his face became more gloomy the more he listened.

"...The Jiangbei Han gang is getting more and more rampant, and more and more of our silk is being unloaded by them. If this continues... Oh, President, you have to think of a way." Han Guanshi frowned.

Master Zou of the Chengzi Gang is dead, and the Second Master Wei is still in custody in the hands of the eldest son. The Chengzi Gang from the third master to the seventh master has become a mess in order to become the boss.

"Did the Chengzi gang win or lose?" Chairman Zhu asked with a frown.

"Not yet, Mr. Zou has a lot of heart and soul, and he wants his son to take over with all his heart. The people who use him are either heartless, unconvincing, or neither." Han Guanshi smiled wryly.

Zou Dangjia's eldest son was only nine years old this year, Zou Dangjia died too early and too suddenly.

"How about that daughter-in-law of Zou's family?" After a moment of silence, President Zhu asked.

"There is no movement." Han Guanshi was stunned, and then said: "The nine concubines left by Mr. Zou's family, except for Qingjin who is in the hands of Mr. Huang, the others are said to have been sent out. One married I joined a bodyguard in the bodyguard company in the town, and gave quite a generous dowry."

"Go and inquire about how the others are handled. Also, inquire about whether she has had Qingjin seen." President Zhu was silent for a moment before ordering.

"What does the president mean?" Manager Han asked in surprise.

"Chengzi help quickly put it together, maybe she can do it." President Zhu said in a low voice.

"A woman from a Taoist family... Okay, I'll go and inquire now." Manager Han didn't finish his sentence, swallowed it quickly, stood up and walked out.

Chairman Zhu watched Guanshi Han go out, frowned for a while, and was about to stand up, when a middle-aged man hurried in from outside.

President Zhu stood up in a huff.

This long-term follower has only one errand recently: to find Lao Wan.

"Do you have a letter?" President Zhu asked without waiting for Chang Sui to stand firm.

The long follower nodded non-stop, "Yes, a floating corpse floated up from the old river mouth, it was rotten, and there was a black iron ring on his hand, it was the one of Wan Ye. .”

"That's all?" President Zhu's face was livid.

"The root of Zisun was cut off, and there was a short knife in his chest, it was the knife of Master Wan." Chang Sui lowered his head.

Going to Huajie every now and then is Wan Ye's only hobby.

"Bring people back." President Zhu paused, "It doesn't have to be Lao Wan. People should be careful when they get back."

"Yes." Chang Sui agreed with his hands down.

The long entourage retreated, and President Zhu sat blankly, only feeling a trace of coolness from his back.

Lao Wan only likes women in the flower street, he doesn't provoke women from good families, and he doesn't pick and choose women in the flower street, and he doesn't have to blame anyone. He gives enough money every time he goes to play. Make trouble.

If someone cut off the root of his son and then killed him, it must not be because of a woman or a quarrel.

This floating corpse is not necessarily Lao Wan, the corpses that float out after being too rotten are mostly to confuse the public.

But whether it is Lao Wan or not, it is an ominous omen.

"Mr. Ding, please come here." President Zhu stood at the door and raised his voice to order the servant.

Mr. Ding, the chief accountant of Silk Bank, came over quickly.

President Zhu asked Mr. Ding to sit down, lifted the pot and poured a cup of tea to Mr. Ding.

"Old Ding, have you heard about the recent incident?" President Zhu sat next to Mr. Ding.

"The thing about the husband? I heard, it's not a trivial matter." Mr. Ding lowered his voice.

"Old Wan took an errand and didn't come back." President Zhu said in a very low voice.

Mr. Ding was taken aback, "Old Wan is a cautious person! Has it fallen into someone else's hands? Which one? Who?"

"I don't know yet, maybe he's dead."

"It's okay to die." Mr. Ding said in a low voice, looking at President Zhu, "I'm afraid..."

"Well, we need to make some preparations." President Zhu leaned over to Mr. Ding, "The less people in the inner tent, the better. Pick a few to stay, and send the rest away. I will leave quickly in the next two days. Let them go to Nanyang separately, and go to check the accounts."

"Okay. There is one person. If he is asked to manage the internal accounts, he and I are enough." Mr. Ding and President Zhu were head to head.

"Who? Can you trust it?"

"He's a newcomer, and he's only been here for half a year. This person calls himself Qian Weixi, and his real name is Niucheqian. He's from Changxing County, Huzhou. He's a scholar. He was suspected of cheating when he failed the ranking ten years ago. Followed a group of people to riot in the Gongyuan, was arrested by the government, and fled overnight.

"Before coming to our place, I said that I had been working as a bookkeeper in several big gambling houses in Yangzhou. Later, I really missed my mother, wife and children, so I went back secretly and sent some money home. When I came back from Changxing, I dared not go back to Yangzhou. , to our Linhai Town.

"This person is extremely talented in arithmetic. No matter how many numbers he can count, he just opens his mouth. It's never good."

"What about your temper?" President Zhu asked in a low voice.

"Very timid, with a wimpy temper." Mr. Ding chuckled, "It's so convenient to deal with such an anonymous person when he doesn't need it."

"Well, I'll ask someone to go to Yangzhou and Changxing to inquire about it. After two days, you can transfer him there and say that he is leaving. I will pick two people to order him and keep him close. You will also Take a look." President Zhu said coldly.

When the matter is over, find him a good cemetery, and it will be considered worthy of him.
