A Farmer's Lady's Guide to Getting Rich

Chapter 538
"Brother, go into the room and talk." Concubine Xiao's eye circles turned red immediately.

"Oh--"

Seeing that the girl was in a bad mood, Boss Xiao felt something was wrong, so he hurried into the house too.

The environment inside the room was worse than the outside, it was pitch black inside, and there were only a few ordinary pieces of wooden furniture, all covered with a layer of greasy dust.There was a brazier burning in the room, and what was burning inside was not the smokeless silver frost charcoal, but the most common smoked charcoal.

The charcoal basin was filled with smoke, and even though the window was open, the whole room still smelled of soot, making Xiao Fu cough twice uncontrollably.

"Come on, drink some water to moisten your throat first." The middle-aged woman who first discovered them was Boss Xiao's wife, Yu Shi. Hearing this, she quickly poured a glass of water for Xiao Fu.

The teapot is the most common earthenware pot, and the tea bowl is the most common coarse porcelain bowl. I don’t know if it has been washed clean, but it also looks greasy.

Xiao Fu was pampered and pampered since she was a child, even if Chang Ning sent her to another hospital, it was a bit difficult for a period of time when the weather was cold and the mountains were closed with heavy snow, and she never used such rough things.In her eyes, such a bowl is no different from a beggar's bowl on the street outside. She thinks it is dirty even if she washes her hands, let alone let her drink it.

She immediately frowned in disgust.

Concubine Xiao couldn't take it anymore when she saw the situation in the room.

Although she lived a poorer life when she was a child, but that was almost forgotten in the depths of her memory. Now that she has been rich for 20 years, facing such a dirty mess, she feels disgusting from the bottom of her heart.

She quickly asked: "Brother, why did the family become like this? What happened to the big house? How did it belong to the Zhang family?"

"Hey, it's not all because you didn't care about the family for the past two years. I didn't have to pay back the money, so I had to transfer the house to others." Boss Xiao opened his mouth and pushed the responsibility on Concubine Xiao. Don't mention your own gambling.

Oh, what a white-eyed wolf!
Xiao Fu couldn't help but say something cold in her heart.

"Brother, why did you say that? Why would you owe someone money? Could it be that it's a gambling debt?" Just now, Concubine Xiao heard from the Zhang family that the house was sold to the Zhang family by Boss Xiao after losing a bet. She still refused to believe it. It's someone who slandered Boss Xiao, so you have to believe it if you don't believe it.

"Your Majesty, you don't know. Ever since you became the side concubine of the palace, you can bring back a lot of money. Those guys in this town who kill thousands of knives have nothing to do to seduce the child's father to gamble."

Yu immediately wiped her tears and replied: "At the beginning, it was just a small game, a group of friends eating and drinking together, and then the gambling became bigger and bigger, and all the money you gave me was thrown on the gambling table, and then..."

She was sobbing, and looked at Boss Xiao quietly before continuing to say: "Mother, you suddenly stopped paying, and we couldn't find you when we went there. The child's father has been playing with him for so many years, and he can't change the habit! I lost all my shop, field and house to others!"

After she finished speaking, she grabbed side concubine Xiao and said with a very happy expression: "That's all right now, your mother is back, and we will live a good life again.

"Yes, yes, mother, we can go back to live in a big house again." The little girl named Ni'er couldn't help cheering.

Concubine Xiao's face was almost turning green. During these years in the palace, most of her accumulated net worth was sent back to her natal family.I thought that I could rely on him for a while when I came back, but I never thought that the other party was actually a gambler.

"Brother, you, how can you gamble and lose all your belongings?" She trembled with anger.

"Sister, didn't you have money at the beginning? If you hadn't entered the palace and had a lot of money to take home, brother would not have gone astray! Now that brother is like this, you can't ignore brother .”

It was the fault of Concubine Xiao's co-authorship. Sure enough, gamblers are rascals.

Xiao Fu couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so she hurriedly stepped forward and pulled side concubine Xiao over, saying: "Mother, let's go!"

Boss Xiao's son, Xiao Silang, spent all these years with his father, and he has already grown crooked, with a belly full of gaudy intestines.Ever since the cousin of the palace entered, his eyes never left Xiao Fu.Seeing that the other party was still tightly holding onto his own baggage, he immediately guessed that it must be filled with gold and silver.

My family is very poor recently, and I haven't been to the gambling table for a long time. If there is a chance to make money, maybe I can win back the original big house.

With such thoughts in mind, how could Xiao Silang let the God of Wealth who came to his door go?Immediately stopped in front of Xiao Fu and said: "It's freezing cold, where is cousin going? Let's put down the things quickly and drink some tea to warm up."

"Brother, after all these years, you have lost all the money I got back? That's a lot of money, enough to buy half of the town." Xiao side concubine was going crazy, she couldn't stop crying He stretched out his hand and patted Boss Xiao a few times, cursing as he patted, "You're a ghost, how can you gamble, that's the money I managed to get from the prince, my money!"

"Mother, we have something to do, we don't have time to chatter here, let's go!" Xiao Fu could tell from the malicious expression on Xiao Silang's face, if she really stayed in this house, she would have to be skinned at least. , desperate to take Xiao away.

Concubine Xiao also regained her composure at this time, no matter how important the family relationship is, it is not worth the horror of poverty!The boss Xiao's family in front of him is afraid that they will lose the last money of her mother and daughter.

They have already been expelled from the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, and all they can rely on now is that little money. If they are exploited again, they will have a hard time living in the future.

She sniffed, and said tearfully: "Okay, let's go, brother, I came here in a hurry this time and didn't bring much money. When you turn around, I'll ask the girl to bring you the money.

"That's a good relationship!" Yu immediately laughed happily.

Boss Xiao is not so easy to deceive, he knows something must have happened, otherwise Concubine Xiao and Xiao Fu, one is the concubine concubine of the palace and the other is the young lady of the palace. Woolen cloth?
He immediately stopped at the door and said loudly: "Sister, tell me the truth, maybe the palace can't accommodate you anymore."

Since King Zhenbei went to the capital, he broke off contact with Concubine Xiao and couldn't get any money. This shows that Xiao Qian's eldest son is definitely not good to Concubine Xiao, and it is normal to drive people out of the palace now.

"Brother, I didn't..." Seeing that she was seen through, Concubine Xiao was so nervous that she couldn't speak for a moment.

Seeing this, Xiao Fu hurriedly said: "Uncle, what are you talking about? After all, Shizi and I are blood brothers and sisters, and he will never ignore me. My mother and I just passed by here on business. People knew about it, so they sneaked a look at uncle."

"Really?" No matter what, you can't even take a maid with you, Boss Xiao is still skeptical.

"Father, mother, it's not good, it's not good!" At this moment, a young man who looked very similar to Boss Xiao opened the curtain and broke into the house, and said loudly: "There are rumors outside that our house is sidelined. Something happened to the concubine."

"Uh, who are you?" The next moment, he stared at Concubine Xiao and Xiao Fu in a daze.
