Sweet and warm little peasant woman

Chapter 185 I Know Who

Arriving at the gate of Feng's house, An Luo directly explained his intention to see Chen Meili.

Now there are only a few domestic servants in the Feng family in Rongshui County, so she, a concubine, naturally followed.

The gatekeeper reported that Feng Ruolian rushed out before there was any news from inside, "Tong Xiaowu, what do you want to do? You see my father is sick, come here to stimulate him, what? You are better, come here to clean up Let me tell you, you are not that capable."

Tong Xiaowu didn't bother with this little girl, she stood at the door, holding the gift and didn't say anything, just waiting for an answer from inside.

After a while, the gatekeeper reported back and invited them in, and Tong Xiaowu led An Luo into the yard.

Along the way, Tong Xiaowu looked around and found nothing unusual. When she entered the main house, Lin Qinwen was sitting on the chair in the inner court. She was wearing a luxurious red dress, and she saw a smile flashing across her eyes:
"I heard you came to visit Chen Meili?"

She raised her head slowly, her eyes were a little more stern than before, thinking that the virtuous and gentleness in the past was just pretending, the current her is the real her, right?
"Yes, Mrs. Lin, I'm from her hometown, and I want to ask her something."

"What's the matter?" Lin Qinwen looked at Tong Xiaowu with a trace of precaution in his eyes. It's really amazing that this woman can protect herself from the torrent of businessmen's scams in Xijiang, and her business is getting bigger and bigger. People dare not underestimate it.

Tong Xiaowu laughed, it seems that the position of the head of the Feng family has changed.

Lin Qinwen sat on the main seat, staring at her, with an understatement of indifference at the corner of her mouth.

"I think someone in my Dongshan Bieyuan was poisoned. Have you heard of it? Recently, there have been clues that this incident has something to do with your concubine. When she was in the village, she had a bit of trouble with me. I always want to , no matter how vicious she is, it is impossible for her to do such a thing? After all, it is human life..."

Tong Xiaowu's voice was very low and cold.

Lin Qinwen sneered, "Come on, call me that lowly maid, and you can ask her face to face."

After finishing speaking, she tugged on her sleeve, looking like she was watching the excitement.

Feng Ruolian hid outside the door and watched secretly, not even daring to enter the inner court.

Sure enough, the Feng family changed. After Feng Dafu fell ill, Lin Qinwen became the head of the family. Judging by her appearance, she was also vicious. Otherwise, a young lady like Feng Ruolian would not dare to enter the inner court.

After a while, Chen Meili was pushed in. She was dressed in coarse sackcloth, with a cloth towel wrapped around her head, her complexion was sallow and dull, her hands were swollen, and her knuckles were torn. Not wearing.

Her eyes flustered, and she was surprised when she saw Tong Xiaowu.

"Shopkeeper Tong, if you have any questions, just ask!" Lin Qinwen didn't think there was anything wrong with Chen Meili's appearance.

"Okay!" Tong Xiaowu naturally doesn't care about other people's family affairs, but is this Chen Meili really the one who spends a lot of money to get people to return home to take revenge on her?

"A few days ago, two gangsters set fire to the house of my Yuebaili Cooperative. The fire spread and burned down the house next door. A total of more than 5000 taels of silver were lost inside and outside. The gangsters confessed that the mastermind behind the scenes was Shanshui Villager, Chen Meili, I want to ask you, but you?"

"Hahaha..." Chen Meili laughed haha ​​when she heard this, she glanced at Lin Qinwen resentfully, and said:
"Shopkeeper Tong, you really think highly of me. Take a good look. Am I the one behind the scenes? I'm stuck in this place every day, doing laundry and cleaning, rough and dirty work, how can I go out? If I can go back Shanshui Village, do I still choose to come back here again? What a joke..."

Tong Xiaowu has already seen that this fire is indeed not caused by her asking someone to set it off.

She stood up and cupped her fists at Lin Qinwen, "Ma'am, since I'm not from your family, I'll take my leave and stop bothering you!"

"Shopkeeper Tong, don't worry, sit down and talk slowly, come on, sit down!" Lin Qinwen left Tong Xiaowu behind: "Your question is over, let's talk about other things..."

"Others?" Tong Xiaowu turned around and looked at the person in the main seat, she didn't intend to sit down, obviously, she was in a hurry to leave now.

"Shopkeeper Tong, your cooperative was burned, and you lost a lot of money. My father-in-law's new cloth spinning has [-] spinning wheels, [-] looms, and a newly built factory building covering an area of ​​[-] acres. Is the shopkeeper interested?"

Lin Qinwen always sees a person as two kinds of current interests and future interests. No matter what his status is, as long as it is beneficial to her, she doesn't want to give up.

And she is in urgent need of cash flow!

Tong Xiaowu stopped and asked, "I wonder how much Mrs. Lin wants?"

"4000 taels, how about it? My father-in-law spent 6000 taels of silver on this workshop. If my family didn't owe my natal family some money, I wouldn't have sold it."

Lin Qinwen calculated this account, they do not have new cloth weaving methods, these looms can only weave cotton cloth and coarse cloth, and now the market for coarse cotton cloth is disrupted by businessmen in Xijiang, and the low price has no profit at all.

Moreover, it may take at least two or three years for the market to recover. Therefore, keeping this workshop is just taking up funds and has no value at all. Instead of this, it is better to sell it.

It's a pity that no one in the county city wants to buy a workshop recently. Someone inquired about it the day before yesterday, but they didn't expect that the bid was too low, and they didn't even pay half of it. If Tong Xiaowu agrees to the price, the compensation can be less.

If it doesn't work, put it away for another two years, and the workshop will be completely over.

"I'm sorry, I don't plan to expand the cloth workshop for the time being. After all, the market is in a downturn now. Although my cooperative burned down, it didn't burn down the textile equipment. It's just some goods, so don't delay my production. You still keep your workshop. Bar!"

After speaking, Tong Xiaowu turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute..." Lin Qinwen stood up, and smiled coldly, "Since we can't do business, then shopkeeper Tong might as well go to the backyard to visit my father-in-law. He is not in good health and always has something to say I can’t say it, shopkeeper Tong, you and him are old acquaintances, you go and see him, maybe he will say what he wants to say, although you used to be competitors, but he is like this now..."

"No, I don't know him well!"

What Lin Qinwen said was filial piety, but when she thought about it carefully, she wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone, let her go to see Feng Dafu?I'm afraid that as soon as she appeared, Feng Dafu would be so angry that he would go straight to heaven. At that time, Tong Xiaowu who was at the scene might not be able to explain why he was justified.

Besides, that kind of person, if you can see it, you will see it.

This time, Tong Xiaowu didn't stay any longer and turned to leave. Seeing that she was about to leave, Chen Meili also retreated secretly. She didn't stop until the outer courtyard.

"Tong...sister-in-law three!"
