Chapter 136 Mao's Guess

"Hey, okay, why should I bring this up!" Mrs. Mao smiled regretfully, and asked, "You just came back from your father's study?"

"Yes," Yao Cunhui nodded.

Mao's complexion changed slightly, and he praised with a smile: "Hui'er is getting more and more capable, no wonder uncle values ​​you so much! I heard that you went to Jinling to buy land in the south this time?"

Yao Cunhui was stunned for a moment, and said with a vague smile: "Yes, our Yao family's rice shop doesn't have a lot of land, so Dad planned to buy some suitable ones over there, and it was all decided by the shopkeeper Lin who went together! How young am I? I understand, it’s just a matter of following around to make a fool of yourself!”

Mao's eyes flickered, he ignored the words behind him, he couldn't help walking forward, and only asked: "How much did you buy? How much money did you spend? Hehe, Xie's family is the richest family in Jinling, with their help , it must be much cheaper, right?"

Yao Cunhui was very speechless, and couldn't help frowning secretly, this is what Mao is concerned about!
"I didn't buy it in Jinling. The better land in Jinling costs [-] mu. Where can I afford it? I bought some in a small county below Jinling! The price is fair. I didn't ask Xie's family for help." After all, I just met a new relative, so I'm too embarrassed to bother him!" Yao Cunhui said with a deliberate smile.

"How much is it per mu?" Mao asked closely.

Mrs. Mao will care about this. It is likely that the second uncle went home and chatted with her. Yao Cunhui didn't know what her father and shopkeeper Lin told her second uncle. She didn't dare to tell the truth to Mrs. Mao. After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "I don't really remember, shopkeeper Lin knows about these things! Didn't shopkeeper Lin come back first? Second uncle should also know about it?"

Mao was taken aback, smiled sarcastically, and said, "That's true, your second uncle naturally knows, so I'll just ask casually!"

Yao Cunhui smiled and said nothing.

"Okay, you just came back, let's rest, I should go back and see our Yun'er!" Madam Ma said and got up.

"Then I won't stay with Second Aunt, and I will visit Second Aunt another day!" Yao Cunhui smiled and got up to see her off, and said with a smile: "Second Aunt, please wait, my sister asked me to bring some gifts back to the elders and sisters Brothers, since the second aunt is here, let's take it back by the way!"

After Yao Cunhui said that, he ordered Hongliu and others to bring out the presents.

Seeing that there were so many big and small bags, Mrs. Mao felt happy again, and said with a smile, "How funny is this, it seems like Second Aunt came here specially to get things from you!"

"Where is it! If the second aunt doesn't come, I have to send it to the second aunt! Second aunt loves me, so I don't have to go all the way!"

"You have a small mouth, but you are getting better and better at talking!" Mao felt relieved, ordered Alan and Axiang to take it, thanked him and left.

Back in his own room, Mao opened the presents one by one. There were autumn brocades for finely tailored clothes, cosmetics from well-known shops in the south of the Yangtze River, hairpin accessories for a couple of children, the four treasures of the study, folding fans, etc. It's joy, and the maids and women praised Yao Cunjia once.

But in the evening, when Yao Nianguang came back, the unhappiness in Mao's heart came back again. She suddenly remembered that she went to Yao Cunhui's place to find out, but in the end, she found nothing and hugged him happily. The gift given is back!

The more Mao thought about it, the more angry he became, and his face suddenly sank.

Finally endured it until after dinner, and sent her children to rest, Mao snorted, and said bitterly: "Yellow-haired girl, you are playing with me! She doesn't even look at who promoted her at the beginning, just like Ma , are all white-eyed wolves!"

Yao Nianguang is a real person. After being stunned for a while, he guessed who his wife was scolding. He couldn't help but frowned slightly: "You mean Huier? Why did she mess with you when she's so nice!"

When I first came back, my son was showing me a sapphire unicorn paperweight, and my daughter was showing off Xinde's beaded and carved gold bracelet, all of which were said to be given by my elder sister.Why did Huier get so angry when Huier gave her a gift and didn't leave her alone?
"Didn't you say that this time she went south to Jinling, besides visiting her eldest niece, she was also in charge of buying land there? Hmph, I asked her and she gave me a question. Mixing is not from Dafang's family. She still keeps it a secret from me!"

"Business matters have nothing to do with you. Why are you asking so much?" Yao Nianguang glanced at her, and said flatly, "Hui'er was right not to tell you!"

"You speak for her!" Mao Shi almost jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, his eyes wide open, and he was so excited that he scolded Master Yao Er incoherently, beat his chest and said, "What am I doing? Not for you! For this family! You, big brother, don’t trust you at all, and don’t want to give you anything, just let you do errands behind his ass! He would rather Give it to a little girl who has never traveled far, and outsiders will not give it to you! Hmph, who knows if they are doing something tricky here! If it is upright, I asked her why she kept it from me , Why don’t you say it! I see, this is simply unspeakable! That’s all, didn’t you say that she was responsible for this matter? She told me that Shopkeeper Lin was responsible, and she just watched from the sidelines. Hmph, you want to hide everything from people!"

"Hui'er may just be self-effacing when she says that!"

"Self-modesty? Hehe, you can help her find excuses!" Mao sneered disdainfully: "You just wait, one day your elder brother will clean us up and sweep us out! Then you have to say that he is I will give you a chance to stand on your own and stand on your own!"

The Second Master Yao was startled, and he couldn't help becoming irritable. He stroked his forehead and sighed: "Speaking of which, the eldest brother is also confused. This year, Yao's rice shop has encountered such a big crisis, and there is not enough money. He is doing well. Why do you suddenly want to buy land! You even went so far to the south to buy it!"

"Crisis? What crisis?" Mao was taken aback.

Master Yao Er regretted his slip of the tongue and was too busy to speak.Mao became more and more suspicious, how could he let it go?Reluctantly forced him to speak out.

Master Yao Er couldn't help but said proudly: "I told you, you must not tell the second person! This matter is only known to the top few people in our rice shop. If it gets out, we will be punished." What a mess! When the time comes, our whole family will have to drink the northwest wind!"

"Is it so serious?" Mao's heart couldn't help but suddenly asked, "Then, do you think sister-in-law knows about this?"

Master Yao Er shook his head without hesitation: "Brother never tells sister-in-law about business matters, let alone such a serious matter, Hui'er should know about it!"

"Say it quickly, don't worry, I swear, I will never tell it!" Mao suddenly became a little excited again. In this family, there was finally an important event that she knew about Ma but didn't.

Yao Nianguang sighed lightly, and then briefly told Mao about the matter. After he said it, he seemed to feel a lot more relieved, and sighed: "That's how things are! Now my eldest brother is also very worried. If this hurdle can't be overcome, The Yao family's rice business is coming to an end!"

Mao's heart sank for a while, and he was stunned for a while before he muttered: "No one can figure out this enemy?"

Yao Nianguang shook his head and sighed.

"Based on such handwriting, it's clearly for Yao's rice shop! This is a terrible situation! What else can the rice shop do if the rice shop is gone?"

"Can't you say something nice?" Even though he knew it was true, Yao Nianguang still felt very harsh when he heard Mao's words.

"Sounds good?" Mao was not polite, "Facts are facts!"

"You have been fooled by your elder brother, and we have all been fooled!" Mao's eyes flashed, and he gritted his teeth and said angrily: "I think Hui girl's going south to buy land is simply a cover-up, this is your elder brother looking for a way out! Hui girl They must have taken a lot of property and hid it to the south! When the time comes, the Yao family’s rice shop will collapse, hmph! The hidden money will all belong to their big family!”

"How is it possible!" Yao Nianguang's face changed slightly, and he retorted: "Mi Xing is the painstaking effort of big brother. I know big brother, he won't give up so easily! Big brother said that he will find a way to get through this disaster!"

"Then did he say what he thought of?"

Yao Nianguang suddenly stopped speaking, and his mind was in a mess!Could it be that the eldest brother really found a way out in the south?Is it okay to give up the Yao family rice?Give up the painstaking efforts that have been worked hard for so many years?

"That's all right!" Mao said with a sneer, "Your elder brother is not a fool, knowing that it is a rock, he still touches it with an egg! You have been brothers for so many years, why are you still such a stubborn believer?" He! It's easy to try it out."

"Do you have a solution?" Yao Nianguang asked unconsciously.

"Check the accounts." Mao said two words calmly.

"Yes, yes! Check the accounts!" Yao Nianguang suddenly realized, yes, as long as the bank account is correct, there will be no problem, if there is something tricky in it, that is the best proof!

"Since they have found a way out, we have to make early preparations." This is what Mao is most concerned about, and she has even been thinking about how to move out valuables and hide them.Should you move antique vases or gold and silver jewelry first?This is a problem!

"Don't worry, just wait." When the matter came to an end, Master Yao hesitated again.

After all, he is a brother of the same mother, Yao Nianguang refused to believe that his elder brother would really do such a thing behind his back.

Mao snorted disdainfully, and when he saw him staring at him stubbornly, he reluctantly agreed, but secretly planned in his heart, thinking about starting to do it tomorrow.

silly!Wouldn't it be okay to quietly keep him from knowing?

The couple discussed for a while to go to bed and lie down, and they were destined to have no sleep all night.Yao Nianguang pondered his wife's words over and over again, comparing them with what happened these days, sometimes he felt that what she said was reasonable, and sometimes he felt that it was not the case, and in the end he didn't know what to believe!What about Mao?It was because I was so excited that I could not sleep at the thought of hiding in my own house and moving!

On Yao Cunhui's side, although the second aunt was a bit weird, she only thought of it as a woman who wanted to inquire and love gossip, and didn't think about anything else. In the afternoon, she brought a gift and went to the fourth aunt's place to tell her After gossiping for a while, they went back to Luomei Courtyard to rest and told Mama Rong to prepare the gift from Shangyun Mansion tomorrow.
