Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 312 Plan ahead
Wan Zhigao's words reminded the Jiang family that Wan Chengyao has been an official outside these years, and she really doesn't know how much money he has in his hands. She just knows that Wan Chengyao has not handed over money to his family these years, because Wan Baocai knows His salary is not high, so let him keep this little money for the management of favors and gifts.

Thinking of this, Jiang said: "Your father probably doesn't have much money in his hands. Most of the money is still in the hands of your grandfather and grandmother. You still have to make them happy. Don't let your aunt take advantage of it. By the way, these I followed your grandfather to learn how to do business every day, have you figured out what kind of business your grandfather has in his hands?"

"I've seen Wanjia's business. Clothing, pawnshops and tea, the annual income is less than 2 taels of silver. My grandfather said that I will take care of the three shops in the countryside first."

Jiang shi heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. It seems that the old man still trusts the eldest grandson, and even showed him the account book.

While Jiang's mother and son were busy calculating the Wan family's property, Wan Chengmin was also torturing the old lady in the room, asking if the old man had really divided up the Wan family's property.

As for Mai Xiang and Huaici, they are busy preparing a statement. The content of the statement is that Wan Huaici, the detective of Jinke, decided to open a charity private school of Sanwei Bookstore in the name of his beloved wife on the first anniversary of their marriage, and take them in for free. Some poor children who want to study but can't afford to study pray for their beloved wives, and recruit several husbands at the same time, and the treatment is favorable.

This is the idea that Mai Xiang came up with. The place is ready-made. When I bought the publishing house, a large piece of land was still vacant. It happened to build a few houses for private schools. After these children come out, they can still work in the publishing house. It's a good thing.Because in this way, it is tantamount to indirectly telling others that Huai Ci is not a broken sleeve, and he is already married.

Early the next morning, Huaici and Wan Baocai went to the government office to transfer the ownership. After the transfer, they went to the publishing house to explain to the general manager what he was going to do, and left Bai Yang to be responsible for the academy, because Bai Yang had been in charge of the academy for many years. Beside Mai Xiang and Huai Ci, I also learned a lot about checking and collecting accounts.

After Huaici left, Mai Xiang started to clean up the furniture in the warehouse, the small things were almost moved, and only these bulky furniture decorations remained.Mai Xiang recruited all the servants and servants from Xisi Hutong, and they moved out in the same way.

"Sister and sister, are you here? I was just about to talk to you." Kang Yi came with her big belly.

"Sister-in-law, get out quickly, it won't be good if there are too many people here." Mai Xiang hurriedly pushed her out.

Seeing that she seemed to have something to say, Mai Xiang had no choice but to lead her back to her small courtyard.

"Siblings, me, you, between us, you won't blame me for the separation between us yesterday, right?" Kang Yi looked at Mai Xiang, and it was difficult to say what she wanted to say.

"Sister-in-law, I can't blame you for this. We, the younger generation, just listen to what the elders mean."

After hearing this, Kang Yi stretched out her hand to hold Mai Xiang's hand, and said, "That's good, that's good. Mai Xiang, don't blame the elders. To tell you the truth, it's not bad for a brother-in-law. Okay, some people’s sons and daughters are slightly stronger than the servants, and some are not as good as the servants.”

Seeing that Mai Xiang didn't like to hear this, Kang Yi changed the subject and said, "I know my wife and my husband have treated my uncle badly before, so I will apologize to my uncle for them. Don't worry, I will persuade my husband to get closer to my uncle in the future. close."

"Sister-in-law, I have always respected you, but this is a grievance between them, so we don't want to get involved." Mai Xiang interrupted Kang Yi's words. She didn't like to hear these words, and it was too late to hide. What are you getting close to?
"This? Alright. But Mai Xiang, I have something to ask you, I hope you can tell me the truth?"

"What's the matter?" Mai Xiang was a little impatient.

"You guys got my husband back, right? Where did you get him back then?"

Mai Xiang was taken aback when she heard this, and looked at Kang Yi, everyone in the family seemed to believe that Wan Zhigao came back by herself, how could she ask such a question?
"Why do you ask that?" Mai Xiang asked, she was indeed a little surprised.

Kang Yi smiled wryly.

"I saw the injuries on his body, and since he came back, he hasn't been to any woman's room. He sleeps alone at night. I went to see him, and in my dream he shouted 'don't come here, let it go' I've wanted to ask you for a long time, but you are always busy these days, and my brother-in-law happened again. I guess you are not in a good mood. I know you are going to move out today. I'm going to have a baby soon, and I don't know when we will meet again, so I have to disturb you."

"Sister-in-law, my husband-in-law promised my elder brother not to tell, so I can't tell you. It won't do you any good to know. You should care about him more in the future."

As soon as Kang Yi heard this, she understood that Wan Zhigao was indeed rescued by Mai Xiang and Huai Ci. As for how she was rescued, she didn't ask again, because she knew that she would not tell her if she asked Mai Xiang. What is certain is that what Wan Zhigao experienced must not be a glorious thing.

After thinking for a while, Kang Yi stood up, bowed solemnly to Mai Xiang, and said, "I don't want to thank you for your kindness. My sister-in-law understands that my siblings and uncle are good people. My sister-in-law will not disturb my siblings. No matter what happens in the future , and ask younger siblings to be more tolerant of sister-in-law's thin noodles."

Kang Yi wisely did not mention Wan's family's face, because she could see that Mai Xiang was still somewhat grateful to her. At this time, Kang Yi was also extremely grateful for the kindness she had shown to Mai Xiang at the Temple of the Reclining Buddha.

Mai Xiang naturally understood what the other party meant, she really had no prejudice against Kang Yi, on the contrary, she had some sympathy for Kang Yi, and found Wan Zhigao, an irresponsible and caring man.

But sympathy is sympathy, Mai Xiang is still a little wary of Kang Yi, this kind of official girl is not too simple-minded, she doesn't want to be sold and still counting money, after all, the interests represented by the two are now Opposite.

Unexpectedly, not long after Kang Yi left, she specially sent a maid to bring a small blue plate, saying it was a housewarming gift for Mai Xiang, and told it to be Ru Kiln, so that Mai Xiang could keep it carefully.

Mai Xiang didn't expect that Kang Yi would give her such an expensive gift, because Mai Xiang and Huai Ci went to the streets to shop for several times, and Ru Kiln's things were really hard to find, and the price was naturally not cheap.

In fact, Kangyi likes this small pan very much, and this is the only piece of Ru kiln in her hand. This is the most valuable dowry she brought from her natal family, but there is no way, she knows that Mai Xiang likes antiques, In order to repay Mai Xiang for this kindness, and in order for Mai Xiang to take care of her more in the future, she had no choice but to part with her.Because she knew that Mai Xiang and Jiang's grievances would definitely not end just like this, so she was planning ahead, hoping that she and Wan Zhigao would not be affected.

When Mai Xiang was researching this small plate, the old lady came to the door suddenly.

"Old lady, it's such a hot day, if you have something to say, just send the maids to ask us to go." Mai Xiang said.

"It's okay, it's not far away, just take a walk in my own home." The old lady said while looking at Mai Xiang's room, all the calligraphy and paintings were put away, and several big boxes were gone, thinking that the house would be destroyed in a few days It was almost empty, the old lady's eyes were red.

"The house was just built in the spring, and I pointed out that you can stay for a few more days. I never thought that you would move out." The old lady took out her veil and wiped her tears.

Seeing the old lady weeping, Mai Xiang felt a little uncomfortable. She thought of her mother Liu Shi, sometimes life and death are too impermanent.

"Grandmother, when the weather is not hot, go out and walk around, don't always be bored at home alone, when you are free, let these sisters accompany you to play dominoes, and let your grandfather accompany you to visit temples and climb mountains Not bad."

Mai Xiang can't say she hates Old Madam Wan, because Madam Wan's doting on Wan Zhigao has become a habit or has been deeply rooted in her bones. During this period of time, it is not bad that she can treat Huai Ci and Mai Xiang like this up.

"Son, Mammy knows that you and Zhiyuan are good children. Mammy is sorry for you. Actually, according to my opinion, I don't want to separate the family, and I don't want you to move out. It's just that I know that you live here. It's also not pleasant, Zhigao's mother treats Zhiyuan like this, no one will forgive her, instead of watching you meet, pointing at Sanghuai, quarreling or sternly confronting each other, it's better to let you out, and you can live a few years at ease Days. Son, don't blame Mammy, Mammy can't do anything about it, old people can't stand it."

"I understand, I don't blame it, thank you Mammy for making it happen." Mai Xiang also told the truth.

Since Jiang's family can't be dealt with for the time being, why live together and look at each other and hate each other?
"Okay, it's good that you don't blame. You have suffered a bit from the separation of the family for the time being. I still have some banknotes in my hand. Take it as compensation from the mother. Son, take it and buy some property." After finishing speaking, the old lady untied the purse from her waist and handed it to Mai Xiang.

"This?" Mai Xiang didn't expect that there was another person secretly giving him a bank note.

"Take it and buy some things you like. Also, my little grandson has suffered a lot. Please take care of him. I know he only has you in his heart. You two must take care of each other when you are outside. Support, if you go out, you must send a letter to your family, the nanny will miss you, such a good child, but you just met such an aunt, hey, poor child..." The old lady said Sob on.

No matter how much she dissatisfied with Jiang Shi, she could not move Jiang Shi because of Wan Zhigao's scruples, not to mention, there were two granddaughter marriages waiting, so she had no choice but to abandon Huai Ci and Mai Xiang.

"Second Master, you're back." Cui Bi was guarding outside, when she saw Huai Ci enter the door, she called out.

The old lady hurriedly wiped away her tears. When she saw Huaici, she was a little embarrassed. To be honest, talking to this grandson would be better than talking to Mai Xiang. A cold face is still a cold face.
