Splendid Abandoned Wife

Chapter 224 Debt Collection

Before dinner, Uncle Qi came back and said with a look of disgust: "An unvirtuous wife brings trouble to three generations. Then Mrs. Lu is a family troublemaker. Changsheng is really unlucky to marry such a woman!"

It turned out that Lu's younger brother Lu Mancai also came.Lu Mancai was forced into desperation by his creditor and the Wu family, the fool's family he had betrothed to Mulan. He also guessed that Changsheng and the Lu family must have gone to the capital to join the Yin family, so he hurriedly chased them all the way, thinking that the Yin family was a wealthy family. If he values ​​face, he will definitely help his poor relative pay off his debts for the sake of his brother-in-law's sake. There is no way he can become prosperous relying on the Yin family.

What he didn't expect was that people from the Wu family would also follow him. The Wu family had spent so much money to finally find a wife for their stupid son who was only passed down for three generations. How could they let Lu Mancai and the Liu family go so easily?No, the Wu family asked for the secret kimchi recipe and the yard with a shop where the Liu family now lives as compensation, otherwise the Liu family would have to fulfill their engagement and let them take away Mulan.

Zhihui asked anxiously: "How much money does uncle owe the Wu family?" Although it was Lu Mancai's gambling debt, now that the Wu family has identified the Liu family, there must be some evidence, such as what kind of documents were signed, etc., Changsheng All I can do is take on debt.

Uncle Qi curled his lips and said: "I heard it was 300 taels, but the Wu family now wants triple compensation, and the round trip expenses for three of their family members to come to Luo City. The total cost is 300 taels. Later, he said that he could not wait until he returned to his hometown. The Liu family pooled their money and asked for the kimchi recipe to be paid directly to the store and house."

"Oh?" Zhiruo asked, "What does the Wu family do?"

"I am a carpenter who specializes in making furniture for people. I heard that it is a craft inherited from the family, so the Wu family is still a wealthy family with plenty of food and clothing," Qi Bo replied, "Does the eldest girl feel a little suspicious? Qiangzi and I I also feel that there must be some reason behind this, and now we can only wait for the results of Mo Wang’s investigation.”

It’s not surprising that the Wu family came here to ask for Mulan or silver, but why did they suddenly think of asking for the spicy cabbage recipe?If they are in the pickles or restaurant business, or have lived in Los Angeles for a long time and know that spicy cabbage is popular, it would be reasonable to want to start their own spicy cabbage business, but the problem is that neither of the above two assumptions is true.

Zhiruo nodded: "If the Wu family is not too keen on the market and business, it is very likely that someone is instigating someone else to want the spicy cabbage recipe, but they just don't want to come forward and go through the Wu family's hands. "As for what kind of person he is, how he hooked up with the Wu family, and what deal he reached, she can't guess.

Mingze frowned and said, "It's not the Qiu family again, is it?" The Qiu family was short of money. First they plotted against the eldest sister's dowry, then they focused on the recipe of some snacks, and finally they came up with something like the Seven Fragrances of the Butterflies. The big basket must be getting more and more difficult now and need money, so it's not surprising that he would think of spicy cabbage.

Zhiruo shook his head: "Probably not. The Qiu family claims to be a marquis family, so I'm afraid they won't look down on a small business like spicy cabbage, unless they have a series of pickled vegetables business of their own."

Pickle business?Something flashed through Zhiruo's mind so fast that he almost couldn't catch it.

Chuanzhou Hong family?A name she had only heard not long ago.The Hong Family's Jiangxinzhai has a branch in Luo City. It is common to search and purchase secret recipes for similar products from various places through the branches. Could it be the Hong Family?But the Hong family is considered to be a well-known family, so they won't resort to tricks without trying to make an honest acquisition, right?It's okay for a small family. People with a certain degree of popularity are very worried. "What now?" Zhiruo brought back the topic, "Uncle Qi, you didn't come back until now. Uncle Changsheng and the others should be fine for the time being, right? Also, Did the Liu family and the Wu family really have an engagement?" She was very confident in Qi Bo's ability, so this matter was not difficult for him.

Uncle Qi nodded: "I told the Wu family directly in the past that I don't care about other things, but the yard and shops belong to our Meizhuang, and the house deeds and shop deeds are all in the names of our second girl, and they have been registered with the government. The recipe for spicy cabbage is also from our Meizhuang, because the second girl's face allows Liu's snack restaurant to use it, but the base material used is still provided by Meizhuang. Changsheng and his son do not know the secret recipe of the base material, so they have no idea how to operate it. use.

Musheng was very smart and shouted on the spot that he had already told the Wu family that the secret recipe did not belong to their father and son. The Wu family did not believe it and said that if the Wu family handed over the engagement and broke it up, he would immediately give the Wu family the operating procedures verbatim.Haha, the Wu family was dumbfounded on the spot, as if they didn't know whether to accept it or not. "It was precisely because of this that he became more suspicious of someone behind the Wu family.

"As for the engagement," Uncle Qi curled his lips contemptuously again, "There really is no such thing as a marriage certificate. It's just that the Wu family has Mulan's birth certificate. It should have been given by the Lu family without telling Changsheng." It is impossible for the woman's birth certificate It can be given to outsiders at will, unless it is given to the husband's family during the engagement.

Zhiruo slightly raised the corners of his lips: "Uncle Qi, did you take advantage of this?"

Qi Bo laughed: "Haha, that's right. I suggest Changsheng go to the government to sue Lu Mancai for stealing the Geng Tie, and the Wu family using stolen goods to defraud marriage." According to Da Ying law, it is not enough to have a Geng Tie for an engagement, but also an engagement letter and As a token of engagement, the engagement letter contains the fingerprints of the family members of both parties (the order is father, mother, grandparents, and adult brother).After the wedding ceremony, both the man and the woman sign and print their thumbprints on the engagement letter, and the engagement letter officially becomes a legal and valid marriage document.

"Haha," Zhiruo couldn't help laughing, "Uncle Qi, your move is so cruel!" Jiang was still very old.At this point, if Changsheng still cares about Lu Mancai and can't bear to sue him, then there is no need for them to help Changsheng.It's up to him whether to marry his daughter, pay money, or actually hand over the spicy cabbage recipe, but from now on Meizhuang will no longer care about his affairs.

Zhihui didn't quite understand, but seeing the expressions on the elder sister's and Uncle Qi's faces, she unconsciously felt relieved.

Uncle Qi also laughed loudly: "It is said that pitiful people must be hateful. If Changsheng himself insists on being that pitiful person, no one can help him. Fortunately, Changsheng and his son, especially Mu Song, are still smart. Those who are sober may have been tolerant to Lu Mancai again and again because of the Lu family. After the death of Mrs. Liu, that little bit of affection has been worn away. Once Changsheng's attitude becomes hard, the people of the Wu family will become softer." Except for that. Who is willing to litigate and enter the government except those who have a tough background and go through the motions?

"However," Qi Bo continued, "I don't know if there is a behind-the-scenes story about this matter. I didn't get too involved. I just stopped there and left the rest to Changsheng himself. When I left, Mrs. Lu was crying. It’s making a scene.”

　Sorry, a few friends came to see me today and I only made the correct update. The supplementary update on the 24th will definitely be made up tomorrow.
