Nongmen Jinfeng: Cold-noodled husband and little daughter-in-law

Chapter 104

And after coming for a long time, you are still standing in the dilapidated shop. What does this mean?Everyone stood far away, could not hear clearly, guessed in their hearts, and some people gathered together to discuss.

This is also the reason why Fang Ziyuan persuaded the old man to go to the backyard as soon as he arrived. If he continued to stand here, no matter what he said, others would misunderstand and talk about it.

Now that Fang Xiaofu reminded him again, the old man also realized the problem, glanced at the third child who was still struggling at the side, then passed him and walked back on his own.

When he walked to Fang Xu's side, the old man said: "Third daughter-in-law, bring the list, let's continue, don't waste time."

When Fang Xu saw that the old man insisted on what he said before, he was immediately moved.Regardless of whether the loss is fully compensated in the end, a little compensation is a little bit, and her family's loss is not small.

So he responded immediately, ignored Fang Zhiyi's stare, and went directly to the shopkeeper to get the list.Fang Ziyuan accompanied the old man to the backyard, and Fang Zizhan led Fang Xiaofu to follow.

"Hey, why are you all gone?" As soon as Fang Zhiyi came back to his senses, he was the only one left in the shop, and there was a shopkeeper and two waiters who were still sorting out whether there were any escaped goods.

Fang Zhiyi finally sighed and had to follow back to the backyard.

In the main hall of the backyard, Mrs. Fang Xu asked the old man to take a seat, and called the maidservant to serve tea.Fang Ziyuan asked someone to bring cakes to Fang Xiaofu and invited her to eat.

But she didn't like the fragrant sweet-scented osmanthus cake very much, so she stopped after eating a small piece.Fang Ziyuan sat on the chair next to her and asked how she was doing.

Fang Xiaofu saw that he only talked to himself and ignored the third brother, and he was puzzled while dealing with it carefully.

Not long after, the checklist was delivered. Fang Zizhan took it and flipped through it, then handed it to Fang Xiaofu, pressing his slender fingers on the last total amount: "That's a lot."

Five thousand 830 sixty-two five dollars.

"Third brother, take a look again. Does this figure include the loss of the storefront? Or is it just the goods?" Fang Xiaofu looked at the densely packed black paper and threw it to Fang Zizhan if he thought it was troublesome.

Fang Zizhan took it and was about to look at it again, when Fang Xu smiled wryly: "This loss does not include the pavement."

"Fortunately, the whole shop didn't burn down. Otherwise, it would be even worse. It costs about 500 taels to renovate a shop. Qian Sanlang doesn't care about it. Auntie still has 800 taels to use."

"This 800 taels is Third Aunt's own money, right?" Fang Xiaofu asked suddenly.Could it be that the third uncle just bought all the money on hand, right? More than 5000 taels of goods, a lot, more than she expected.

It's just that this doubt can't be said.

Fang Xu took a look at Fang Xiaofu, knowing that the old Fang's family intended to bear the loss, and naturally had the right to know the truth, so she explained the details of the loss of money and the shop.

The 800 taels were naturally her own money, otherwise they wouldn't have been kept in her house, and Fang Yingchun had stolen it.

The accounts and money in the shop are all in the hands of the shopkeeper. Whoever wants to pay in their family will go to the shop to get it. The shopkeeper is also the manager and accountant, and Fang Zhiyi manages it himself on weekdays.

But Fang Zhiyi couldn't run outside with a lot of money every day, so the shopkeeper took care of him a lot.The shopkeeper is an old slave of the Xu family. He is loyal and honest, and he is a trustworthy person.

Fang Yingchun took advantage of the absence of her third uncle's family that day, thinking about being a housewife, and went to the shop to show off her might. Naturally, no one gave her this chance.

Holding a grudge in her heart, she wanted to take revenge on the ignorant shopkeeper, so she went to the kitchen and lit two torches and rushed into the shop.Throwing one to the side of the container immediately caused the two shopkeepers to fight the fire in a panic, and one rushed to the counter.

The day before, I just bought more than 3000 taels of silver. Most of them were valuable dry goods, so there was a lot of silver.Fang Zhiyi went to Xu's house as a guest, and the old shopkeeper was busy settling accounts alone.

Therefore, no one was wary of Fang Yingchun's sudden appearance.At that time, the old shopkeeper was almost hit by a torch, and fell under the cabinet in fright.

When he got up, the counter was already on fire, and the paper in the ledger burned quickly. He didn't care about anything else, and hurried to grab the bank notes in the small drawer.But in this short time, Fang Yingchun was already lighting the shop randomly with a torch.

When she was restrained by Xiao Er, the shop was already on fire, and the old shopkeeper shouted "put out the fire!" Another Xiao Er went to the backyard to fetch water, calling for the boys and maidservants in the backyard to come and help.

Fang Yingchun broke away from the other mistress, and took advantage of the chaos to go back to the backyard.

Naturally, no one noticed how she was doing, and only wanted to put out the fire.The old shopkeeper ran to the street and yelled to put out the fire, and the neighbor shop responded in time, so that the street would not be burned down.

But the shop was burnt to black and ugly.Their family was originally in the grocery business, and there were many kinds of items, ranging from a few hundred taels to a few pennies.

With this burning, the cost of more than 5000 taels was gone.As for the rebuilding of the shop, it was originally Fang Xu's dowry, so according to her wishes, she would naturally repair it.

Fortunately, the shop was not burned down, if they reunited from the ground up, there would be a lot of trouble.I have to go to the Yamen again to apply for the lease of the shop.

Fortunately, this shop and the land in the back yard were given to her as a dowry by Xu's family, so the procedures for building a house would be easier to handle, otherwise, the whole family would really go bankrupt and be homeless.

But the more than 5000 taels were burned, and his family really had no money left.The old shopkeeper took the risk to snatch it out, but it was only more than 1000 taels.

There are more than a hundred taels of loose silver that are not damaged.

After listening to Fang Xu's careful explanation, Fang Xiaofu knew it in his mind.Looking at the old man again, he was already trembling with anger at Fang Yingchun's bad behavior, and Fang Zizhan's face was sinking like water, he sat stiffly for a long time, unable to move.

Although I already knew Fang Yingchun's behavior at home, but hearing it again now, it still makes people angry.

Fang Ziyuan was also very quiet at the moment, sitting with his eyes downcast, his thin lips tightly pursed, like a delicate white jade statue, exuding elegance and nobility.

Fang Xiaofu remembered that this beautiful boy was born on the first day of the Lunar New Year, hence the name Ziyuan.One year and four months older than the third brother.

At the beginning, Fang Zhiyi took his wife after his second brother, but he had a son first, who was the old Fang's Erlang.

Fang Liu entered the door two years earlier, but Fang Zizhan was born two years later, and she was still behind the third bedroom. Regarding this, she actually didn't like the third wife.

Fortunately, Sanfang has always lived in the town, so it's not common, and there are fewer conflicts.

After Fang Xiaofu learned the details, he took out a small pouch from the pouch, took out a stack of large and small banknotes, counted them again in front of Fang Xu, and handed them to Fang Zizhan.

Fang Zizhan took it and walked in front of Fang Xu, and said sincerely: "Third Aunt, Third Uncle's reluctance is on Third Uncle's mind, but there must be justice in this matter. Please accept the thousand and five hundred taels first."

"Sanlang, take the money slowly, don't affect your brothers' studies..." Although Fang Xu knew this was the case, and she had seen it with her own eyes, but now that she really got the money, she was a little worried.
