Du Fuling returned to Datong Archway in Xifeng Village and explained the whole story to her father. Boss Du sighed and said, "If the Meng family has such a daughter-in-law in the future, her strength should not be underestimated!"
Du Fuling also said with a serious expression: "Yes, Sheng Guo'er kept it secret. This time he just taught his daughter a lesson and didn't break up with us. It shows that this person actually has good intentions. I think As long as we don’t go too far, she won’t kill us.”
Mr. Du said: "Competition is inevitable in the business world. Fortunately, Ganlinji is still in our hands. As long as the pastry business is not destroyed, everything will be fine."
Du Fuling smiled and said: "Father is right. It was indeed my father's clever idea to take over the time-honored brand Ganlinji as ours. However, the price has been raised too harshly recently, and the people are quite complaining about it!"
Boss Du said: "Hey, as long as they still recognize this brand, they have to eat it and buy it!"
Sheng Guoer had previously suspected that the reason why Ganlinji's pastries were so expensive was finally found. Back then, Boss Du used his skills to forcefully buy and sell the time-honored Ganlinji brand. He used other people's recipes and employees, but the price doubled. If Du Fuling hadn't used the trick of slowly increasing prices, Mr. Du's impatience would have driven the price of pastries to sky high.
Now that the business is stable, Mr. Du came up with a damaging trick of launching new products and raising prices.
Although Du Fuling didn't agree with it, the Archway had recently hired a lot of people to expand its territory and the expenses were too high, so Du Fuling just turned a blind eye.
I thought I could make a fortune in building the Hong family's road this time, but unexpectedly I met Sheng Guoer and the deal failed.
Thinking of these, the Du family's father and daughter felt a little depressed, so they directed all their anger on Meng Heyou.
"Dad, if he hadn't succeeded more than he did, and his domineering behavior there had aroused people's dissatisfaction and alarm, I could have done everything in secret." Du Fuling said angrily, "He is really a waste dessert!"
Boss Du clenched his fists and said, "Come here, make this kid for me!"
Just as his men were about to move out, they were stopped by Du Fuling: "Dad, no, I'm still thinking of using him to make money to repay Sheng Guoer's favor!"
Boss Du asked in confusion: "How do you plan to make money from him and still show favor to Guo'er?"
Du Fuling mused: "I asked when I came back. During the sacrificial ceremony, Xu Cuiyu made a stumbling block for Sheng Guoer. I guess Sheng Guoer's plans were all aimed at Xu Cuiyu. Xu Cuiyu had many things behind his back. , as long as we make her deeds public and use them to threaten Meng Zhengtang, we won’t worry about Meng Zhengtang not submitting!"
Mr. Du laughed and slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, this guy Meng Heyou still owes us two hundred taels of silver!"
Du Fuling smiled slightly and said: "I found out that Xu Cuiyu secretly bought a stake in Lingyun Silk and Satin Shop on West Street. This is the business of the rival of Meng's Silk and Satin Shop. We can run it and let Xu Cuiyu suffer some pain. Xiu. She didn’t go there, so I guess Sheng Guoer would be unhappy because she didn’t see her suffering, so I’ll return the favor and punish the mother and son!”
Mr. Du laughed and said: "That's right, let Meng Zhengtang give us half of the silk and satin factory shares! By the way, the money Meng Heyou owes us cannot be two hundred taels now."
Du Fuling smiled slightly, took the account book, and gently changed "two" to "thousand" on it, and wrote a "five" in front of it, and a "one" in front of "hundred".
Du Fuling dried the account book, threw away the pen, and said with a smile: "The Meng family owes our archway a total of five thousand one hundred taels."
Boss Du said: "Hahaha, this is my good daughter. Someone, please send all the evidence and debts collected to Meng Zhengtang's mother!"
Meng Heyou came back for three days, and he was in constant panic every day. Although he lied to his father about how hard he worked, the Hong family saw it, and he had no say in whether he worked or not. He thought he was a supervisor. Being Du Fuling made me feel better, but who would have thought that Sheng Guoer would show up halfway, and all the supervisors would be replaced by members of the Hong family, and I would run back in despair.
Xu Cuiyu was still coaxed by her son's sweet words and was going to go to the Hong family to ask for a reward and the qualifications to be filial and honest, so she dressed up deliberately today and prepared to go out to the Hong family to ask for a reward.
Meng Zhengtang thought this was a good time to humiliate the Hong family, so he proposed to go together and let the Hong family get rid of the peach blossom evil spirit.
Although the Meng family and the Hong family are not the same in terms of strength, the Hong family deliberately made friends with the Meng family and the Meng family was justified in this matter. Therefore, Meng Zhengtang went there this time with great confidence. .
The couple were just about to set off when they heard the boy outside the door come in and report: "Master, second madam, it's not good, the madam has fainted from anger."
Meng Zhengtang was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, who could make his mother so angry? So I went to my mother's Cuiwei Hall with Xu Cuiyu.
As soon as they arrived at Cuiweitang, they saw bottles and jars being smashed and beaten. Meng Zhengtang walked in with a confused look on his face, and was hit with a pillow by his mother.
"Mom, what's wrong!" Meng Zhengtang hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him, "Is there something wrong with my son?"
The old lady pointed at Meng Zhengtang's nose angrily and said, "Isn't it your fault? It's the fault of a son who doesn't teach his father. You have a good son!" After saying that, he punched Meng Zhengtang on the back.
Meng Zhengtang asked: "Is it Zhou'er's fault, or is He You's fault?"
The old lady said angrily: "You damn thief, please bring disgrace to our Meng family. Who else could it be? It's your precious little son Meng Heyou!"
After finishing speaking, the old lady beat her chest and stamped her feet.
Then the old lady pointed at Xu Cuiyu angrily: "Bitch, you raised a good son!"
Xu Cuiyu hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down, saying: "Mom, I was wrong. If there is anything wrong with Heyou, I am willing to take the punishment on his behalf!"
Meng Zhengtang said angrily: "What's going on? Call Meng Heyou!"
"Yes!" The maid replied tremblingly, then turned to look for the second young master.
Meng Heyou was still drinking a small drink when he saw maid Xiao Xing running in panting.
"Second Young Master, I'm calling you!" Xiao Xing's expression was very nervous, and Meng Heyou vaguely felt a hint of danger.
Meng He Youxin said: "No, the Dong Chuang Incident probably happened. Dad found out about my affairs. I have to run away!"
He looked very calm and said, "Oh, I got it, I'll go right away!"
Xiaoxing nodded and left.
As soon as Xiao Xing left, Meng Heyou ran to the door and looked around. When he saw no one, he immediately patted his thigh and went back to the house to start packing the parcels and gold and silver items.
While cleaning up, he said: "Thirty-six tactics are the best. I guess my father knows all the bad things I have done. He has to kill me. There is no place in the world where I can't stay. I won't come back. Fortunately, there are still With these one hundred taels of silver, my mother’s life will not be a problem!”
After cleaning up, Meng Heyou quietly walked out of the house and ran towards the door.
Arriving at the gate of the mansion, the gatekeeper asked: "Hey, young master, where are you going with your baggage?!"
Meng Heyou gave a "shush" and said: "Don't say anything. The master has something to do with the young master. I'll leave first and talk about it another day! By the way, don't tell anyone! The master said not to tell, and also asked me to tell You go to him to collect the reward because you are strict with your mouth!"
The doorman smiled stupidly and said: "Second Young Master, don't worry, I am the most strict-mouthed person and will never tell others."
Meng Heyou patted the doorman on the shoulder, and then said: "Bring me the horse quickly!"
The gatekeeper quickly ran to the stable nearby and fetched a horse, and then helped Meng Heyou get on the horse.
Meng Heyou whistled, and the horse flew away with its hooves.
Meng Zhengtang paced back and forth in the room, watching Meng He's friends in his hands commit crimes and oppress good people. The evidence that he owed a gambling debt of 5,100 taels made his beard stand up in anger.
Meng Zhengtang shouted loudly: "Where's Meng Heyou, why hasn't this beast come yet!"
Xiao Xing said tremblingly: "I, I have already told the second young master!"
At this moment, the gatekeeper ran in with a smile, knelt in front of the master and said: "Master, the little one comes to receive the reward!"
Meng Zhengtang was stunned and asked: "You are here to receive the reward. What reward will you receive?"
The gatekeeper told Meng Heyou's words exactly as they were said. Meng Zhengtang was so angry that he kicked the gatekeeper over and said angrily: "How dare you carry this traitor out of the house, and even treat me before leaving, you bastard!"
Then Meng Zhengtang raised his hands and said: "Come here, all the Meng family's servants will come out for me, even if they dig three feet in the ground, they will find this little beast for me!"
Xu Cuiyu hurriedly cried and came forward to beg for mercy, but was kicked down by Meng Zhengtang: "Xu Cuiyu, I still love you, I didn't expect to raise you two wolves! You dare to invest in our mortal enemy, you are letting others watch. Isn’t this my joke! Come on!”
Meng Zhengtang was so angry that he was shaking all over: "Lock Xu Cuiyu into the firewood shed and deprive her of food for three days. Wait for my punishment in three days!"
Xu Cuiyu shouted and was taken down.
At this time, Chen and Meng Xingzhou, who came after hearing the news, also entered Cuiwei Hall.
"Father, I have heard about everything. Now the creditor is coming to collect debts, the second brother has escaped, and the second mother has bought a stake in Lingyun Silk and Satin Factory. Now they are also coming to collect the payment that was withheld by the second mother in advance. I think it is better to let our eldest brother take the initiative. , I still have some savings when I did business with Guoer, let’s tide over the difficulties first!” Meng Xingzhou made a suggestion, Meng Zhengtang said angrily: “Does my Meng family have to rely on a pariah for help?”
Meng Xingzhou said: "Firstly, it's too late now. Secondly, saving the family business is like putting out a fire. Why do you care about this? Look, just because you dote on the second mother and second brother, there is no one or two in our family's books now." It’s money!”
Meng Zhengtang was stunned and said: "How is this possible!"
Meng Xingzhou said: "Father, all the money our family has comes from my mother's family's business. Your own business can no longer make ends meet."
When Meng Zhengtang opened the accounts, he saw that the family's restaurant business was completely occupied by Meng Heyou's idle accounts and the idle accounts of his friends. In the business of the silk and satin shop, Xu Cuiyu has provided her good materials to her opponents in recent years. , made personal profits, and the silk and satin shop gradually became poorly managed.
He didn't know this, because Xu Cuiyu could also do accounting, and she demolished the east wall to repair the west wall, so that Meng Zhengtang always had money to spend, so nothing happened.
Now Meng Heyou suddenly owed 5,110 taels. Xu Cuiyu's activities were exposed and caused damage to Lingyun Silk and Satin Village. Naturally, the owner of Lingyun Silk and Satin Village wanted to seek justice. Therefore, he was completely exposed and the capital chain was completely broken. .
The Meng family is in a critical situation at the moment...
