Mrs. Zhang heard the report from the concierge, saying that her eldest sister-in-law came to the door. Mrs. Zhang had been very anxious these past two days. She didn't want to see anyone now, so she asked the concierge to send them away, saying that she was not feeling well. .

The Zhang family was in a state of panic now. Mrs. Zhang didn't care whether Mrs. Zhang was comfortable or not. The concierge stopped her from entering and just barged in.

The concierge stopped them symbolically, but if they couldn't be stopped, they simply let Mrs. Zhang go. This was the wife's eldest sister-in-law. If they were accused of something in front of the wife, they would lose their jobs.

If the concierge is interested, Mrs. Zhang is a womanly person, and even if she wants to break into the inner courtyard of the Yu Mansion, she won't be able to break in.

Mrs. Zhang started crying as soon as she arrived at the door of Zhang's yard. Her voice was so loud that even Mrs. Zhang who was concentrating in the room with her eyes closed heard her.

"Didn't I tell the concierge to send the person away because I wasn't feeling well? Why did I let the person in?"

"Old slave, let's go out and take a look."

As soon as Grandma Chen came out of the house, she saw Mrs. Zhang crying and wiping her tears.

"What's going on, Madam? But what happened at home?"

"There's something big happening at home. If the second sister doesn't take care of it, our whole family will have to sleep on the street."

Mrs. Zhang walked into the house as she spoke. Aunt Chen knew she couldn't stop her, so she simply helped Mrs. Zhang into the house.

However, the sound was a bit louder than usual, enough for Zhang in the room to hear.

When Mrs. Zhang entered the door, she saw Mr. Zhang lying on the beauty's couch with one hand rubbing her forehead. Seeing this, Mrs. Zhang cried even louder. "

"Second sister, you must help your elder brother this time. If you don't help, your elder brother may not even be alive!"

Mrs. Zhang didn't know that something was going on at home before, but now she was frightened when Mrs. Zhang said this. How could she be so scared that she would die.

"Sister-in-law, please sit down and tell me what's going on. I've been feeling really uncomfortable for the past two days. I wanted to wait until I got better and then go back to see my sister-in-law. I didn't expect that such a big thing happened at home. thing."

Mrs. Zhang was explaining that she had asked the concierge to keep her out just now, but Mrs. Zhang couldn't care so much at this moment.

"Second sister, you don't know that your eldest brother was deceived by those damned people! They first let your eldest brother win money in a gambling house, and then seduced your eldest brother to continue gambling, and then lent it to him after he lost. usury.

Your eldest brother is also stupid. He didn't see the ambition of those people. Now that the profits are compounded, your eldest brother already owes the gambling house one million taels of silver. What should we do? "

Zhang really didn't expect that her good eldest brother, who had not improved in skills over the years, but had improved his abilities, would dare to borrow loan sharks from people in gambling houses. Is that possible?

Even she, a woman, knew that loan sharking was out of the question, and anyone who touched it would die. In the past few years, many families in Kyoto City had been ruined and died due to loan sharking. But she never expected that one day it would be her natal family's turn. .

"Second sister, how much money do you have on hand now? If you have it, take it first and lend it to your elder brother for turnover. When your elder brother has the money in the future, he will return it to you. We really can't delay this matter any longer. Today is still a day. One million taels, according to the loan shark, tomorrow it will be one million and twenty thousand taels."

Mrs. Zhang still has a rough idea of ​​how much money her parents' family can afford. She has hundreds of thousands of taels of cash at home. Plus those farm shops, it's not impossible to get a million taels from selling them. , why should she take out the money?

Her sister-in-law is now asking her to borrow money nicely, but who doesn't know that once the money is lent out, it will be gone like a meat bun beating a dog, so she is not that stupid.

Zhang immediately showed a wry smile.

"Sister-in-law, it's been really inconvenient for me these past two days. Things have happened one after another in the shop. I've already spent more than 300,000 taels to fill the gap. I really don't have much on hand. If sister-in-law doesn't mind, I'll still be here. There are 50,000 taels, you can just take it, this money will be treated as my giving to your eldest brother, and you don’t have to pay it back."

Mrs. Zhang was immediately unhappy when she heard that Mrs. Zhang only offered 50,000 taels. Mrs. Zhang was a man of means. She had been in charge of the Yu Mansion for these years, so she didn't believe that she only had this little money.

"Second sister, that's your eldest brother. If he doesn't get well, how can you still stand firm in Yufu without your mother's family to rely on? Helping your eldest brother means helping yourself."

"Sister-in-law, how could I not know what you said, but I really can't get any extra money."

As the two of them were talking, the concierge outside came to report that another shopkeeper came to the door.

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she didn't know whether to mention it or let it go. She just looked at Mrs. Zhang with a wry smile.

"Sister-in-law, I think our family has offended someone without knowing it. Look, someone set up such a trap for my eldest brother. One million taels, that's the total of our family's wealth. And the people on my side are not going to let it go, this is already the third wave of shopkeepers who have come to visit today."

Mrs. Zhang was not afraid of letting her eldest sister-in-law see the joke, so she directly asked the shopkeeper to come in and explain the problem. Even Mrs. Zhang's heart trembled.

"What did you say?"

When the shopkeeper heard what Zhang said, he had to repeat what he just said.

The warehouse where the goods were stored in the shop was actually stolen overnight!

If the shopkeeper hadn't gone to the warehouse at noon, he wouldn't have discovered it.

Zhang opened a silver shop, and the clerks and shopkeepers there were all trustworthy, so now that the goods in the warehouse were missing, Zhang did not doubt them, but was thinking about how capable that person was, and he actually managed to steal a whole All the goods in the warehouse were stolen.

You must know that all the silver jewelry inside is made of silver, and there are hundreds of thousands of taels of it, but now they are all gone.

Although the silver house business is not very easy to do in Kyoto City, and it targets ordinary people in Kyoto City, it can still make one or two thousand taels a month.

"Hurry up and complain to the Yamen now. Those who stole jewelry cannot take their things out of the city at once. I think those things are still in Kyoto."

"Madam, don't worry. When I came here just now, I asked the clerk to go to the Kyoto government office to report the case. I just wanted to say something and go back now. Otherwise, when the people from the government office come to the door, there won't even be a person in charge in the shop." nothing."

What happened has happened, and even if Mrs. Zhang felt sorry for those pieces of money, she would have no choice but to wave the shopkeeper back.

After everyone left, Mrs. Zhang looked at Mrs. Zhang.

"Sister-in-law, you have seen my situation here. I really can't afford much money."

But who is Madam Zhang? She finally gave up after she took 150,000 taels of silver from Zhang.
