Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 1117: The court cannot be without people

I just counted the money handed in by each family outside, but I haven't summarized it yet. It's a mess outside now, and there's nothing interesting to see. It's better to count the money.

Holding the thick silver note in her hand, Mrs. Yu suddenly felt sour in her eyes. She thought she would never come back, but she didn't expect that not only would she come back, but she would also get double the amount.

Those people usually come here and order the best and most expensive ones, and they are extravagant and wasteful. After being given double the amount, Yu has 7000 taels in her hands. Yu's hands are shaking with excitement.

She knew in her heart that her third younger brother and sister had gotten these back for her, and she would probably have a hard time in court because of this, so she gave Jiang Jiuniang 7000 taels without saying a word.

"Third brother and sister, I know this incident has caused a lot of trouble for you and third brother. You must accept the money, otherwise I will feel uneasy!"

She said this sincerely, and her gesture of giving the money was not ambiguous at all.

But why is Jiang Jiuniang willing to ask for so much? She is here to help, not to share the money.

But Ms. Yu was right. She had contributed to this matter and had to endure the infamy. She couldn't really ask for nothing.

Firstly, it can benefit me a little, and secondly, it can also make Yu feel better.

So, she took 7000 taels and pushed back the remaining 1 taels.

"Sister-in-law, I only take what I should take, and you deserve the rest. After this incident, you should also be more careful. We are a family. Don't bear it on your own if you encounter such things in the future." Just come out and figure it out together at home."

Jiang Jiuniang patted her hand and spoke very earnestly.

If they had talked about the matter from the beginning, and she or Lu Baichuan had intervened in advance, the matter would not have become such a big deal.

But this time she deliberately made a big fuss, letting Yu know that she couldn't bear the responsibility, and at the same time, she could beat those in the court who had evil intentions.

Mrs. Yu had some shame on her face. At first, they both wanted to avoid causing any trouble to their third brother and sister. After all, they were at the border and fighting a war at that time. It was a life-or-death situation. Compared with what happened in the restaurant, It was nothing. At that time, she thought she would just tolerate it. Unexpectedly, those people became more and more outrageous, and the amount was too high, so she did not dare to say anything. She also told people in the restaurant not to say anything in front of her family. Even Lei Even my son didn't know it, but I didn't expect that the third younger brother and sister were so thoughtful that they still found out.

"I understand. If anything happens in the future, I will tell you as soon as possible. But I feel really sorry that you only took 7000 taels. How about you take 1 taels, okay?"

This kind of kindness cannot be repaid with money, but at least it can make her feel better.

Jiang Jiuniang saw her look of regret, so she agreed to take an extra 3000 taels.

"Third brother and sister, now that I have money, can I invest more in the ranch you mentioned?"

Before, I didn't invest much because I didn't have that much money on hand, but the business the three siblings are doing must be profitable. If you invest less, you will earn less. If you invest more, the dividends will be very high.

She also has her own selfish motives, who would mind having too much money?
Of course, if you invest more now, you will be more comfortable at the beginning of starting a business. You can do whatever you want to do, and this is all mutual.

"Of course, but we still need to inform everyone about this so that everyone can be aware of it."

If you let us know in advance, you won't have any trouble when waiting for dividends.

"Okay, I'll tell you this!"

Mrs. Yu smiled from ear to ear. The troubles she had been having for many days disappeared instantly, and her whole appearance became more than ten years younger.

"Leizi and Lianhua have been engaged for almost two years. We are going to prepare everything they need to get married, so they won't be too busy by then. Originally, we planned to help them get married by the end of this year, but the two One child refused, saying that he wanted to wait for Xiaoyang and the others to come back and choose a life together. They have grown up and have many ideas. As parents, we can't force them, so we can only follow their wishes." As he spoke, there was a faint smile on his face, obviously supporting his son's idea and not blaming him.

Jiang Jiuniang said: "Sister-in-law is right to think so. Anyway, they are still young, so it doesn't matter if they wait for another two years. Xiaoyang and them also have a long-term friendship, and Xiaoyang is older than Leizi, so it is better to wait. of."

"I understand, it's just that Xiaoyang and the others don't know when they will come back after they go out. Although we are not his parents, we are still uncles and aunts after all. His parents are gone, so we should take care of these things."

Mrs. Yu knew very well that Lu Xiaoyang's going out would bring huge benefits to the family, and it would help all of them suffer. With this feeling in mind, she would naturally not have any other ideas.

The two chatted for a while, and there were more customers in the restaurant. Yu put on her apron and went to work in the kitchen. Jiang Jiuniang told the shopkeeper how to deal with the follow-up matters and then went home.

Such a big thing suddenly happened in the court, and she didn't believe that Lu Baichuan was not involved.

She had to go back and ask clearly, so that the couple could discuss the news and not make any mistakes.

When she went back, Lu Baichuan had just returned and was eating.

She had already eaten at the restaurant and was still full now, so she had no intention of eating more. She just sat next to Lu Baichuan and asked, "You came back so late, and the emperor left you alone?"

"Well, let me continue to be responsible for the Cao family's affairs."

Jiang Jiuniang immediately laughed: "I knew you were the one who did what happened today. It really belongs to you."

"Since we have offended the Xue family, so that they don't cause trouble for the Lu family again, let's just deal with it all at once."

As Lu Baichuan spoke, he put a chopstick of meat into her mouth. She subconsciously opened her mouth and ate it in one bite, and then said angrily: "I won't eat, I'm so stuffed to death!"

Lu Baichuan was amused by her appearance, and then said: "Anyway, the Xue family has been restless for a long time. It's good to let them dance around for so long. After cleaning this wave, we can just promote some of our people, and they can be used by me in the future. .”

This is Lu Baichuan's plan.

He decided to resign, but the government cannot be without people.

Now that Mr. Kang is the only one who belongs to his group, secretly he should have made plans in advance.

Although he has no intention of treason, it does not mean that he will not do anything. He has a family to protect. Even if he leaves the court, the court must always have its own power and informants.

He didn't think so much before because he felt it was unnecessary. Now it seems that he is too naive, but it is not too late to start making arrangements now.

Jiang Jiuniang thought what he said made sense, and they both had the same idea.

They don't have to care about that position, but they can't be led by the people in that position.

"Okay, just follow the arrangements. I'm sleepy. I'm going to take a lunch break."

Jiang Jiuniang stood up and yawned, and raised her feet to leave, but was pulled into Lu Baichuan's arms.
