stern wife

Chapter 535 The Wicked Has a Good Wife
"Don't talk nonsense."

He looked out vigilantly. Fortunately, he is not a master who needs to be served all the time, and he never keeps watch at night, so the yard is quiet, and there is no outsider.

Pei Xiaoran was fearless, smiled slightly, and said:
"So, big brother, choose the person you want to your heart's content. If you miss it, it may become a lifetime of regret. Third brother and I will protect ourselves and mother. You don't have to worry about us at all."

Pei Runzhi still had concerns, subconsciously said:
"But……"

"Or, do you want Miss Ji to live in the sadness and pain that she couldn't ask for for the rest of her life?"

Even though Pei Runzhi is a blank slate emotionally, he can still tell that Miss Ji is very interesting to him.

When he thought that that person would be sad because he chose her, his heart twitched.

"I……"

Pei Xiaoran lightly jumped onto the round stool beside him, reached out and patted his elder brother's shoulder, tilted his head and said with a smile:
"Brother, don't wrong yourself for us, or we will be guilty for the rest of our lives. Only when Big Brother is happy, can we live happily!"

Seeing his younger sister's bright smile full of encouragement, Pei Runzhi pursed his thin lips slightly, and finally nodded vigorously after a while.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions. Since the birth of a grandson, Mrs. Wu even walked a bit more briskly, and her complexion, which was originally excellent after recovering from illness, looked three points brighter than that of a twenty-eighth girl.

The weather was fine today, so Mrs. Wu thought about going out to see if there were any new patterns of cloth, to buy a few bolts of new cloth with the most fashionable patterns and colors, and to make some new clothes for her daughter-in-law.

The quilts, clothes, toys, etc. needed by the grandson have all been bought. There is really nothing to buy, so Mrs. Wu turned her idea to her daughter-in-law.

As soon as the daughter-in-law is out of confinement, she can dress up beautifully and go out for a walk. Staying in bed for a month can't bore the daughter-in-law to death.

Walking briskly around one after another, I finally found a pattern that suits my heart in one of the largest cloth shops.

Mrs. Wu carefully selected a few pieces, and after carefully looking at them, she picked out some dissatisfied ones and exchanged them for another one. After tossing for a long time, she finally selected a few pieces of cloth with the most fashionable and beautiful patterns.

The boss jokingly said while thinking:
"Madam is really good at picking, she picks the best looking and best materials here."

Wu smiled and said modestly:
"Where."

Probably because she was distracted from talking with Wu Shi, after the boss reported the amount of money, Wu raised her eyebrows and said softly:
"Boss, your calculation seems to be wrong."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

The boss has been making calculations for many years, and he is confident that he will never make a mistake, so he can't help but feel a little unhappy when he hears this.

Wu did not argue with him, nor turned the abacus upside down, but stretched out one hand, and fiddled with the abacus with slender and white fingers skillfully, and showed the boss one by one.

The boss couldn't help but widen his eyes. He didn't expect this lady to not only know how to do abacus, but also be so skilled. Even if the abacus is upside down, it doesn't affect her performance at all!

"Here, the difference of five taels may be nothing to me, but to the boss, if he loses it, he will definitely feel distressed. It is not easy to do business, and I can't take advantage of you, boss."

Waving to ask the girl next to him to pay, Wu said with a smile.

The boss was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the other party was not here to take advantage of him, but was afraid that he would suffer, so his nose felt a little sour, and he quickly lowered his head to cover it up.

In this world, Taoist priests, farmers, businessmen, and merchants are always ranked last. People think that merchants' money is earned by opportunism, and they always say that they are "no profiteers, no merchants".

It is true that some businessmen are unkind in doing business, but just like there are good people there are bad people, you can't just treat them all as profiteers for the sake of those few profiteers, right?
Besides, people in the world only see that it is not easy to be an official, and farming is not easy, so why can't they see that it is not easy to be a businessman?

Every day, I get up early and stay late every day, sorting out and counting the goods from early to late, and there are all kinds of customers. I often encounter those who are difficult to deal with and play tricks.

When the business is good, it’s okay, but when the business is not good, several hairs of worry can turn gray overnight.

Customers don't like to come here because they are afraid that someone will snatch the business, and that their own things or prices are not as good as others'.

... all kinds of hardships, and so on.

Wu's family is a businessman, so he naturally understands that it is not easy to be a conscientious businessman.

The boss blinked vigorously, suppressed the moisture in his eyes, and when he raised his head again, he said with a bold face:

"Based on what Madam said, the five taels of silver are worthless. I am the boss and I have the final say. I will give Madam the five taels of silver!"

Wu Shi was startled, her words were spoken from the bottom of her heart, she didn't expect to hit the boss's heart.

Wu didn't refuse, just smiled and said:
"Then I'll help the boss bring in more hospitality to repay the boss' kindness."

The boss laughed heartily, packed the silk cloth for them with his own hands, and sent them out of the door. It was only when Wu Shi and the girl were far away that he returned to the shop with a sigh.

At this time, there were not many customers in the store, and several customers saw the scene just now. Among them, there was a man wearing a half silver mask.

The man didn't tease the boss like other guests, but turned his head to look in the direction of the door, with a bit of unconcealable surprise in his deep eyes——

Unexpectedly, the wife of that kind of person is actually such a character.

Don't they all say that people are divided into groups and likes flock together? What's the matter...

Thinking of the elegance and charm of the lady's words and demeanor just now, the corner of the man's thin lips could not help evoking a meaningful smile...

-

Not disappointing his sister's heartfelt encouragement, Pei Runzhi really quietly sent someone to Yang's house to politely reject the marriage and even gave him a generous compensation.

Then, following his own will, he bought some freshly fried dried fish, and asked Ji Xueying to meet him in the name of thanking the 'general'.

Seeing that the relationship between elder brother and sister-in-law was gradually warming up, Pei Xiaoran finally felt relieved, and was thinking about going to Prime Minister Zuo's mansion to visit his little nephew.

The little nephew has long since lost the wrinkled and red appearance when he first met him. His little face has become tender and white. She is alike.

He took a rattle and shook it in front of the little thing, and the little thing looked at it without blinking. When the rattle was turned to the left, he looked to the left, and when the rattle was turned to the right, he looked to the right. It was so cute.

I was having fun with my little nephew when I heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside.

A little girl who was in charge of delivering the order came in in a hurry. After entering the door, she didn't even have time to salute, so she said to Wu Shi who was sitting by the side:
"Madam, it's not good, something happened to the Wu family!"
