The Good Wife of Transmigration

Chapter 167 Refugees
Grandma had no choice but to respond reluctantly: "Yes."

The uncle sighed: "Okay, that's it. You can bring the bank notes tomorrow, and I can negotiate with others when the money is raised."

After everyone dispersed, Grandma slowly returned to her Ruilan Courtyard.However, when she arrived at Ruilan Courtyard, she suddenly thought of something, with a sneer on her face, she took the girls and ran to the West Wing.Soon, there were crying sounds from the west wing room.

Cao Yuke tightly guarded her jewelry box, crying, "Grandma, grandma, you can't do this, how much money can I have as a concubine, you can't let me have no way out!"

The eldest grandma sneered: "I am so worried about my uncle's affairs. I have spent all the dowry money at the bottom of the box, and now I have to sell a few of the shops in the public. You little bitch, usually Uncle treats you so well, but now you are reluctant to give up such a little money, and you still say that you love him wholeheartedly? I think, when the uncle comes out, I have to talk to him. Seeing that the uncle listened to me, he still Do you want to be a heartless and ungrateful little hoof!"

Cao Yuke was frightened by the prospect described by the grandma, and the girl next to the grandma snatched away the jewelry box without keeping any of them.Grandma took the jewelry box and pulled it open, only looking at the bottom layer.Usually that layer is where the bank notes are placed.Sure enough, she saw what she wanted.She took out a stack of silver bills from the bottom, handed them to Li Xia beside her, and said, "Oh, you are really rich, such a thick stack of silver bills, Li Xia, count and see how much silver you have. When the time comes, the uncle will be back." , so that I can show her merits in front of the uncle."

Li Xia clattered and counted the bank notes, and replied after a while: "Grandma, there are a total of 850 taels of bank notes here."

The eldest grandma sneered: "Not bad, it seems that this concubine's life is much more comfortable than my eldest grandma."

Cao Yuke knew that the situation was over, so she fell on the chair and cried, "Grandma, that's all my savings. I brought it from my mother's house. You have to save some for me!"

The grandma snorted coldly, took the stack of banknotes from Li Xia's hand, took out one and threw it on Cao Yuke's face: "Okay, don't cry for the funeral. I'll give you the 50 taels. When the uncle comes back, you can cry as you please. I love to cry for as long as I want. Don’t you love to see your pear blossoms with rain, you should wait for the uncle to take pity on you! If the uncle doesn’t come back, I don’t think you have a place to cry!”

Cao Yuke was also ruthless, so she took out her handkerchief and wiped away her tears immediately, and stood up to apologize to Grandma: "Grandma is right. To save Grandpa, I shouldn't care about such a small amount of money. Grandma, take it, I will The whole person belongs to the uncle, and of course the money belongs to the uncle."

The grandma patted the banknote on Cao Yuke's face and said, "By the way, that's true. Just wait in the room!"

Cao Yuke bowed slowly: "Grandma, go slowly."

Grandma took Shi Shiran away with the girls.

Behind her, the last ray of the setting sun fell on Cao Yuke's face, it didn't bring any warmth, but it seemed to cast a layer of severe frost on her.

Grandma sold three smaller shops and finally collected 8000 taels of silver.There is no way, the wars are frequent during this period, the business is not easy to do, and the uncle's house is eager to ask for money, so it can't be sold at a good price.

At the end of the first lunar month, the uncle took the 5 taels of silver he had collected together with several rare antiques, and finally fished the uncle out of the prison in Dali Temple.

The uncle personally took the housekeeper to pick up the people.After the uncle got off the carriage, he first stepped over the brazier at the gate of the uncle's mansion.After stepping over the brazier, the uncle personally took a branch and dipped it in grapefruit water to remove the bad luck for him.The butler led his servants to set off a long string of firecrackers, and shouted: "No, it's good luck, good luck."

When the uncle entered the mansion, the wife went up to greet him first, and shouted while wiping away tears: "My son, you have lost so much weight. Are you in good health now? Did they beat you?"

Jiwei saw that the uncle had changed into new clothes and his hair was neatly combed, but his face was pale and haggard.He leaned wearily on the boy's body and said, "Mrs. Lao is bothering you. I'm tired and want to go to rest early."

The wife hurriedly directed the servant to help the uncle onto the sedan chair, and said, "My son, you are suffering, so let's take a rest! Old man, why are you still standing there, help your man quickly!"

The uncle got into the sedan chair, and the wife ordered the boys who carried the sedan chair: "Be careful, don't bump the uncle."

It is very rude for the uncle to do this, but the wife is not surprised either.She watched the palanquin that saw the uncle go away, and then grabbed the uncle to ask the specific situation.The uncle said that the uncle fought in public, but he was sentenced to twenty boards.But the money is used, the beating is not heavy, and it will be enough to raise it for a few days.

The wife muttered: "Amitabha, God bless you, it's good to be back home at last."

The uncle sighed, and said to the people around him: "Now our uncle's house is in a storm, you must be careful when you do things outside, and you can't be as reckless as the boss, you know?"

Everyone answered in unison.

After Jiwei returned to Luoxia Courtyard, she began to write letters to her father.Jiwei knew that Master Su Er had been worried that Ji Wei would be implicated, and now seeing that the uncle had returned safely, Ji Wei wanted to write to Master Su Er to reassure him.

Something happened to Uncle Qin in the uncle's mansion, and Second Master Su knew about it the next day.As an in-law, Second Master Su visited Uncle a few days ago, thinking of making suggestions for him.

However, the second master Su can't help you with the matter of opening the joints for the uncle.As for the money issue, Uncle is of course embarrassed to speak to his in-laws.If a dignified head of the uncle's mansion goes to borrow money from his in-laws, doesn't that mean that the uncle's mansion is really bad?

After the uncle came back, apart from taking care of the uncle, the grandmother took Qin Feifei and Qin Ying to each room to thank him.Although the eldest grandma was stingy, she still did a good job of saving face. She brought seven or eight maids, fresh food and gifts in her hands, and went to thank her in a mighty way.

Brother Ying has grown up a lot after going through this incident.Wearing brocade clothes, he looked serious, bowed to Beibei in a dignified manner and thanked Beibei: "Father was able to get out of danger this time, thanks to my sister's help. Brother is here, thank you sister."

Beibei knew that she had made a great contribution this time, and she was very happy in her heart. She smiled back and said: "Brother, there is no need to be polite, this is what a younger sister should do."

Brother Ying said: "This time, thanks to my sister's friendship with Prince Rui's son, the danger was saved. I don't know when the son will come to the uncle's mansion again? Brother, I want to thank the son personally."

Beibei glanced at Jiwei, shook her head and said, "I don't know when the prince will come. He's been busy for a while."

Brother Ying was disappointed for a while: "Okay, then we can only talk about it when the prince comes next time."

As soon as they left, Beibei asked Jiwei: "Mother, why can't I invite elder brother Shizi to play now?"

Jiwei touched her head and sighed: "You are still young, and you don't understand some things. Your Shizi brother helped a lot this time, but he has a noble status and can talk in the palace, so many people will I have to curry favor with him. But once he has interests involved with our uncle's house, you may not be able to be friends with him in the future. If you involve adults, your friendship will become impure. Mother still hopes You guys should be happy and don't worry about adults' affairs. So, let's talk about it after a period of time has passed, or when your elder brother comes to you on his own initiative!"

Beibei nodded with half understanding: "Oh. I see."

At this moment, Ling Lan walked in, signaling that she had something to say.Jiwei hurriedly said to Beibei: "Beibei, you haven't practiced calligraphy today, have you? Go and write."

Beibei sticks out her tongue at Jiwei lovingly, and bounces away.

Ling Lan replied: "Grandma, there have been a lot of refugees in the capital recently. I went out just now, and I met a lot of ragged people along the way. Those people were all hungry and emaciated. They looked real. Miserable. I also saw a little doll, about four or five years old, walking around with the adults on the snow with bare feet! Grandma, I still have some old clothes that I can’t wear anymore. I want to give them away Those little kids, okay?"

After all, Mama Du was sophisticated, and when she heard this, she immediately tried to persuade her: "Hey, girl, please don't! If you really want to give things to people in such a careless manner, people will think you are a little girl when they see you. You are stupid and bold, maybe you will follow behind you, trying to get rich and kill yourself. You don’t know, people are so hungry that they can do anything.”

Ling Lan's face flushed, and she said awkwardly: "Mother Du, I'm not stupid, I also wandered with my younger brother before, I know how to be careful."

Mother Du shook her head: "Girl, your situation at that time was different from what it is now. As the saying goes, there are so many refugees, if they really go crazy, there are murderers and arsonists. I met them more than ten years ago. Once, those refugees took over Zhuangzi and burned down the shop, which is very cruel."
