Mrs. Li stared.
"Get out if you don't tell me!"
When Ji heard this, she didn't dare to show off any more.
"Then let me say it first, mother, you don't know that I just met a salesman in the village. He has been selling goods in these ten miles and eight villages for several years."
Seeing that Ji was talking a lot of nonsense without getting to the point, Mrs. Li glared at her again.
"Tell the important point."
"I heard from the salesman that the three shops in the second brother's family are all very profitable. They can earn tens of thousands of taels in a month. The most profitable one is the rouge shop opened by Yu Yatou. Every month They both made tens of thousands taels of revenue, and the other two shops are also quite profitable."
"You heard this from the salesman."
"That's right."
"Can you take what the salesman said seriously?"
Old Mrs. Li was a little suspicious. Except for Su Yan's house, which she stayed in all day long, she had never gone in or looked through the houses of her son, daughter-in-law and Su Yu. She found some twenty taels of money in Su Lao Er's room, and she put it in her pocket at that time. As for the pile of jewelry left in Su Yu's room, she knew it was given by the emperor and could not touch anything else. I didn't see any money.
Could it be that the second son's family hid the money? It seems reasonable to think so. It is impossible to build such a big house and only twenty taels were found in the house.
"Mom, even if what he said is not entirely true, let's just say that the monthly income is less than half of what he said. That would be tens of thousands of taels. How much money will it cost? I have never seen so much in my life. of money.”
The two old men thought so.
"The salesman also said that the second son's family owns thousands of acres of farmland."
"What did you say?"
Now Old Man Su was no longer calm, and his share of the three sons in the shop was gone. The land could be passed down to the family and was the foundation of the farmers.
"Dad, I said that my second son's family has thousands of acres of farmland. That's what the salesman said. I don't know whether it's true or not, so I'm here to tell you."
The two old men stopped talking, thinking about what Ji said just now.
Ji didn't say anything but couldn't hold it in, so she quickly told what she knew.
"Father, mother, the salesman also said that the second son's family has indeed offended a very important person. Even if they have money, it is useless. They may lose their fate one day."
It's a matter of family and life, and the two old men are more concerned about this matter.
"Did the salesman tell me who the second son's family offended?"
"I didn't say that."
As for the salesman saying that Su Yu had been to the palace several times and that officials gave her face, Ji didn't take it seriously. The person pouring night fragrance came to the palace every day, so why didn't he see officials giving him face?
"Boss and his wife, go and get the second brother and his wife."
"Mom, the second brother went out just now, but the second brother and sister are at home."
"Then you call my second wife first."
"Okay mom, I'm going to call my second younger brother and sister over now."
Ji quickly went out to Su Yan's house, raised her hand and knocked on the door.
"Second brother and sister, are you in there?"
At this moment, Su Yan was sitting at the desk in the room, looking at last month's account books. Mrs. Lian was sitting on a chair nearby, sewing clothes. When she heard Mr. Ji's loud voice coming from the door, the needle in her hand deviated and was pricked directly. Blood immediately appeared on his fingers.
"ah!"
Su Yan quickly stood up and looked at my mother's fingers.
"It's okay, I just pricked it."
Su Yan's face looked very ugly.
"Auntie, what's wrong with you?"
"Brother Yan, if your mother is here, let her come out. Your grandparents have something to ask your mother."
As soon as she heard that the two old men were looking for her, Mrs. Lian immediately panicked.
"me……."
"Don't be afraid, mother, I'll go with you."
Of course Su Yan knew what was going on. Just now Su Da had told him all about Ji's encounter with the salesman in the village and what the salesman said. Lian was there at the time, so she naturally knew that the two of them were looking for her. Why was she nervous?
But as soon as she heard that her son was going to accompany her, Mrs. Lian immediately felt a lot more at ease. In the past, she only felt this sense of security with her daughter, but now she also feels this way with her son.
As soon as the door opened, Ji saw Su Yan on a crutch and seemed to be planning to follow him.
"Brother Yan, go back to the house and lie down. Your grandparents just asked your mother to ask a few words, so you don't have to follow."
"Auntie, I'm tired from lying in bed, so I just want to go talk to grandma."
Later, no matter what Ji was saying, Su Yan blocked it and followed Lian to the West Room.
In the house, two old men were sitting on the kang. They frowned when they saw Su Yan coming in behind Mrs. Lian, but they didn't say anything else.
"Mom, I heard my sister-in-law said you were looking for me."
"Why, if I don't look for you, you won't come to see me."
Mrs. Lian waved her hands hurriedly.
"Mom, I'm not."
What Mrs. Li despises the most is that her second daughter-in-law is so petty and doesn't seem to be on the stage at all.
"Nai, you misunderstood. My mother is making clothes for you and me. When my mother heard that the clothes she bought at a clothing store were not comfortable for you to wear, she has been making clothes for you and me these past few days."
The clothes they bought from a ready-made clothing store, Mrs. Li said that they were a little tight around the waist. Unexpectedly, the second daughter-in-law went in and made clothes for them. However, that was what Mrs. Li thought in her heart. She was not moved. No, for her second son and his family, her heart was like that made of stone, and it couldn't warm up no matter how hard she tried to cover it.
"You are serious. I came to you today just to ask you, how many fields did you buy here?"
Of course Mrs. Lian knew how many fields her family had, but she couldn't tell her. Now that her mother-in-law asked her, she had to tell her.
When Mrs. Li saw Mrs. Lian's appearance, she slapped her hand on the kang mat next to her.
"What! I don't know how many fields my family has?"
"Nai, our family has a total of 980 acres of farmland."
The three of them really didn't expect that the second child's family really had so much land.
"Why didn't you tell us that your family has so many fields?"
Su Yan wanted to tell you what to do, to tell you to rob my family's land, but he couldn't say that on the surface.
"It doesn't matter whether our family has these fields or not. Anyway, when Yu'er gets married, all of them will be used as dowry for her."
"What do you mean, all of it will be given to your sister as a dowry? Who decided this matter?"
"My sister bought these fields when she first came to Kyoto City last year. The Yu family is a big family in Kyoto City. If my sister had less dowry when she married, she would definitely be looked down upon by her husband's family. We still think it is too little. .”
"Since the land is now in the name of the Su family, it belongs to the Su family. I have the final say with your father, and nothing you say to your father will count."
"Master, grandma, if I remember correctly, our family has long been separated. How many fields and shops my family has, it seems to have nothing to do with the uncle and third uncle's family."
The two elders were stunned. They didn't expect that the son whom the second one recognized was a tough guy. Unlike their previous grandchildren, who all obeyed their words. In the past, only Su Yu was a bit rebellious, but now there is another one. , and all of them were at the second son's house. They said that the second son's family was against them, and they were right.
