Chapter 38 Little Mute’s Half of the Shares

Without the support of her brother-in-law, how can she gain a foothold in the Ma family?

She showed no filial piety towards her mother-in-law, she didn't observe any womanly behavior toward her husband, and she sneered and cursed a lot at her brother-in-law and sister-in-law.

Qin Liu has always adhered to the creed of "no pain, no gain". When she came to this ancient world, she went from being so hungry that she wanted to chew her fingers to now having a house, property, workers, family, and friends, all because of her hard work and hard work. It’s earned by being sincere to others.

Mrs. Qu had clung to her brother-in-law when she was young, offending her natal family and her sister, and was not allowed to live in the world.Seems extremely brainless.

Now that his backer fell, he immediately came to his senses and knew how to survive.

Qin Liu and Old Man Lou took breakfast to their main house together.The elder brother in the west room has already sat up and is dressing himself. From time to time, he will pull the quilt over the naughty Erlang who is kicking his legs, and complains: "My brother is not good, he should get cold!"

Qin Liu hurried over to put on Erlang's thin cotton-padded jacket, rubbed his little buttocks, and made Erlang giggle.

Dalang was very envious. When he saw Qin Liu looking at her with a smile, he rushed over and threw himself into Qin Liu's arms, holding her neck and acting coquettishly.

Qin Liu happily hugged the two children and kissed and rubbed them, showing a tender and affectionate scene.

Qin Liu sighed slightly: With the warmth at your fingertips, what kind of bicycle do you need?

After letting the children eat with Old Man Li and Old Man Lou, Qin Liu took two more steamed buns, a large bowl of porridge and a small plate of cold dishes, and brought them to the hut at the back on a tray.

The door of the hut was ajar. When Qin Liu entered, he saw the little mute turning his head away stubbornly and resentfully.

She placed the tray next to the little mute's pillow and wanted to lift the quilt off his body to see the injury, but the little mute refused.

She sat on the edge of the kang, her legs dangling in the air.

After hearing that there was no movement outside the house, she approached the little mute and said, "Without the Yanzi Tower, what are you afraid of? I have already bought the land across the street and will build an inn when spring comes. I will also give you shares then."

She thought for a moment, stretched out two fingers, and then another: "How about giving you [-]% of the shares?"

The little mute's expression softened a lot, but he still had a stern face: "No! Half the shares, not a penny less!"

Qin Liu looked at this down-and-out prairie prince in disbelief.You are a prince after all, but you are so covetous and willing to spend money on a shabby shop like mine.Is it necessary to be so stingy?
She thought of the little mute's injuries, fatigue, humiliation, and indifferent attitude towards money, and suddenly she understood a little bit more.

What he wants more is just the feeling of being in charge, recognized and respected, right?
She changed her mind and instead of readily agreeing, she frowned and complained: "As you know, building an inn requires a lot of investment, I have limited capital, and I have a large family to support..."

This was said with great insincerity. The three golden ingots from yesterday were still in her arms!
The little mute didn't say anything and threw two bags over with disdain.

Qin Liu knew at a glance that it was the money bag, or the one she had given to the little mute before.

She weighed it with her hands. The money was still the same as before, and the little mute had hardly moved.What a simple kid!

Qin Liu suppressed the rising corners of his lips and got off the kang to leave.

The little mute said: "Half the shares, not a penny less!"

"Okay! You eat first, and I'll get the bowl later."

When she returned to the main room, she didn't bother to eat. She went to the west room first to put down the gold and silver on her body.Carrying this gold and silver on me all morning is really a sweet burden.

After breakfast, Qin Liu rushed to the next door station without stopping.She wanted to meet Zhu Yue and find out what her relationship was with him, and what was his plan behind his hazy operations?
However, He Yicheng told him that Master Zhu and his party left for Xuan Mansion at dawn.

Qin Liu didn't believe it and insisted on going to the room where Zhu Yue stayed to have a look.

He Yicheng simply took her there.

Seeing that it was just an ordinary room with a simple decoration, Qin Liu was very surprised: "Master Zhu, you said he is the grandson of the number one noble, how come he lives in such a room?"

Qin Liu knew that the rooms in the post station can be roughly divided into the following categories from high to low: sky number, earth number, human number, general shop, woodshed and horse pen.

The Tianzihao room is the best and is reserved for the most distinguished guests. It is somewhat equivalent to a presidential room in modern society. The Dizihao room is second-class and is somewhat equivalent to a business suite in modern society. The Herringbone room is another first-class room. It is somewhat equivalent to a standard room in modern society.

Such a son of a noble family should not live in a high-end room, but a low-end room, right?

He Yicheng said helplessly: "Our post station was built only more than ten years ago. The environment is simple and there are only a limited number of officials staying here. Most of them stay in Jiming Post more than 40 miles away to the west.

This General Zhu was of noble birth, but his rank was only a fifth-rank military general. It was appropriate for him to live in this room according to his rank. "

Qin Liu raised her eyebrows. She knew that He Yicheng was a man who knew how to make trouble. He would definitely not ask Zhu Yue to live in such a room. Is it because Zhu Yue was very principled and asked to live here himself?

On the way back, Qin Liu's doubts gradually dissipated: This Zhu Yue is so principled, he probably wouldn't have an affair and let a young lady get pregnant before marriage, right?

Qin Liu thought about it again and again, but weighed 60 taels of silver and went to find Old Man Lou who was sitting in the hall of Yanzi Tower, enjoying a drink.

He had been drinking since early in the morning. Old man Lou wanted to let himself go!

Qin Liu respectfully handed the money to Old Man Lou in a generous and generous manner: "Uncle, you are responsible for the booming business of this shop. I think I should give you a share of the money earned by the shop. Please order. This What are your plans for the future?"

Old Man Lou drank a glass of wine on the ground, put the money in his arms, and said disapprovingly: "What else can I do? Of course I will guard this empty shop and be responsible for three meals a day for you!"

Qin Liu blushed: "Isn't this a bit overkill? I can do these things."

Old Man Lou sneered: "You can't do it. Can you subdue the dishonest little mute in the backyard? Can you get rid of the little thieves outside who always want to steal things?"

Qin Liu was speechless.

Emotionally, Old Man Lou has been working as a free bodyguard for himself.

Qin Liu still asked an unspeakable question: "Who is Erlang's biological father?"

Old Man Lou's face immediately became serious, and he said stiffly: "I don't know!"

"It can't be Lord Zhu Yuezhu, right?"

Old Man Lou put the wine glass heavily on the table, looked at Qin Liu coldly, and said without a trace of emotion in his voice: "If he dares to do something worse than a beast, don't talk about his grandfather or father, I will interrupt him. legs!"

"Has his leg been broken?"
