Chapter 377 Ningbo

Strictly manage matters?

Wu Jie suddenly realized that it seemed that everything Aunt Xiang did was not hidden from Mrs. Tang's eyes. She had already known the messy things about the long house, but she just kept her troops and did not make any statement. In this case, Mrs. Tang should have known about the actions that she and Miss Xuan seemed to be careful that no one noticed, but she had not pierced the window paper.

No wonder the old lady asked her to "stop" to give Tang Xuelian a peace talisman, which was obviously because she deliberately found an excuse to let herself go out.

Seeing Wu Jie stunned and looked shocked, Madam Li smiled and reminded, "Isn't this stupid boy who is very smart on weekdays? What's wrong today? The old lady is asking you something, so hurry up."

As he said that, he winked at Wu Jie.

Wu Jie didn't understand anything. He quickly sorted out his thoughts and said seriously, "I'm really not familiar with Ningbo and have a naive face. When I go up, I ask about other people's family affairs. I'm afraid I'll be treated as ulterior motives. At that time, maybe I can't ask useful things and cause trouble for myself. If the Xiang family is alert again, it's very likely that I will alarm the enemy. So after I arrived in Ningbo, I didn't rush to do anything. First, I asked around the small grocery store of Xiang family."

Mrs. Tang nodded with satisfaction and said to Madam Li next to her, "After all, she is a young man, her brain is so active. Not to mention anything else, her ability to do things is better than strictly managing things."

Mama Li smiled and said, "Shengman is an honest person. He can do whatever you tell him. He can't learn to do things like Wu Jie."

Mrs. Tang nodded, "It's more calm and flexible. But he also has his own advantages. If he hadn't been guarding the affairs of the family and helping Fengjun share the burden over the years, I'm afraid that Songzhou wouldn't have devoted all his thoughts to external affairs, and the family wouldn't have lived like he is today."

"Isn't that the case?" Madam Li said flatteringly.

Wu Jie continued, "The Xiang family's grocery store is not too big and the store is very small. It is said that since Aunt Xiang's great-grandfather, the Xiang family has always made a living by this shop. However, when people around him talk about Xiang's family, they all look disdainful and contemptuous. I stayed nearby for a day and tried to get to know the people around me. It turned out that Xiang's family has always been short of weight in business, and they are used to using inferior products as good people. If the customers find out, they will bite them to death and refuse to accept it.

It was said that the colleagues deliberately poured dirty water from their family, and the reputation was very bad. Especially in the generation of Aunt Xiang, she had four brothers above, and each of them coveted the shop's authority, so they argued endlessly every day, and there was no time to calm down. Maybe it was because the evil people were beaten by the evil people, and the four daughters-in-law of the Xiang family were even more rude. As long as the four people met, they would not quarrel. They fought twice, and even saw blood.

. Especially the third daughter-in-law is the most fierce. Her mother's family is a famous butcher in Ningbo. The third wife of the Xiang family is very strong and has a big waist and strong strength. The other three daughters-in-law are not her opponents. She often chases and fights. So now the person who can speak the most is the third master of the Xiang family. The other three are angry but not speak up. They gather together all day long to study how to trip up the Xiang family for three nights. There was a time when the four brothers argued too hard and were beaten by Xiang.

The mortal enemy seized the opportunity and almost couldn't continue the business. Fortunately, he asked the eldest son of the eldest son to come forward to help. He was both money and strength. After running for more than half a month, he barely saved the shop for the Xiang family. However, his vitality was severely damaged. In addition, the reputation of the Xiang family was really bad, so he still couldn't survive. I observed nearby for a day, and there was no customer entering the door. If he continued like this, he would close the door in less than three months."

Mrs. Tang listened and looked at Madam Li, and said with a sneer, "Listen, I don't know that the Tang family has such a passionate seed. They are busy working for the concubine she married. When the second house was in trouble, they didn't see him so concerned!"

Madam Li couldn't say that Tang Chongzhou was wrong, so she could only smile helplessly, "No matter what, that end is his Yue family, and he can't stand it and die and refuse to save him."

"Hmph!" Mrs. Tang shook her head unmoved, "I had to consider how much I had before helping others. My family would not be able to live a life of her own. She also wanted to beat her to be fat. That was not called gratitude but stupid! Besides, it was a family like the Xiang family who couldn't get the tables. Please wait and see. When Brother Rong discusses marriage, it's not a simple matter. Whose good daughter will be his wife?"

Wu Jie was shocked when he heard Mrs. Tang mention Tang Xuerong in the long house, and he pretended not to know anything. He continued, "I stayed in front of the Xiang family's grocery store for a whole day. I didn't find out anything else, but asked who the Xiang family's mortal enemy was. It turned out that the owner of the Xiang family's grocery store at the beginning was not surnamed Xiang but Yan. Xiang's great-grandfather was at the hands of the Yan family. At that time, Xiang's great-grandfather was not old. When Yan saw that he was reliable and trustworthy, he was very generous to him, and even intended to recruit him as his son-in-law. Later, one year later

After a flood, many people died at that time. Many refugees flocked to Ningbo and were homeless and could not eat. The Yan family was a local charity. When they saw that scene, they immediately arranged for their family to serve porridge, but who knew that good intentions were not good. Many refugees had diarrhea after eating the Yan family's porridge and died within two days. Aunt Xiang's great-grandfather took the opportunity to falsely accuse the Yan family of the local officials, saying that the Yan family had done something wrong in the rice to harm people. The local officials were also a confused person, worried about the refugees, for fear of making some mistakes and being punished by the top of the peak. Even if his hard work over the years was in vain, he would have been in vain.

The death of refugees had long been heard. Although refugees were not local people, they were also one life. One or two people died, but they died so many times, so I was afraid they would not be able to hide them. Moreover, the refugees are now in panic and there are Thai styles of civilian change. Ningbo was far from enough to suppress these refugees from other places at that time. The local officials were worried about who should pay attention to this matter. Unexpectedly, they would come to know what they thought. After listening to the words of the great-grandfather of Xiang's aunt, he immediately ordered people to lock up the Yan family and blamed all the people who had nothing to do on him. Yan

The family's grocery store was also sealed off. The Yan family's in charge was already old and the prison cell was not a place for people to stay. After he entered, he was angry and anxious and passed away within two days. The great-grandfather of the Xiang aunt took the opportunity to bribe the local official, and he reported it to him for his contribution. The local official transferred the Yan family's grocery store to him at a very low price. The Yan family was not convinced and went to Jiangning Mansion to sue at that time. Unfortunately, the prefect of Jiangning Mansion colluded with the local official, so he directly arrested the case. The Yan family was cut off from their livelihood and almost forced to a dead end."

The last time Manager Yan went to Ningbo, he didn't find out about this. This was the first time Madam Li heard about the Yan family. She couldn't help but listen with relish and asked anxiously, "How is it going?"

"Justice is in the hearts of the people. Although the local officials are confused, the people's hearts are like a mirror. They can distinguish who is good and who is bad." Wu Jie said slowly. "Many people who have received favors from the Yan family back then donated money to help them, and they can help whatever they can. Some are a bowl of rice and some are two eggs. The Yan family persisted with the help of these kind-hearted people."

Madam Li sighed in relief, "Amitabha, it can be seen that God still leaves a way out for good people."

Mrs. Tang said nothing, but she sipped the tea calmly.

Wu Jie continued to tell, "Not long after, the local official was reported for corruption and abuse of power, and soon he was taken away from his official position. The new local official was a good official who asked for his life for the people. The Yan family handed over the wrongful case that year. After a little investigation, the new local official made a mistake. With the joint guarantee of the local people, he retried the case and restored the innocence of the Yan family. It turned out that there was an epidemic after the flood that year. The dead refugees did not eat the Yan family's porridge, but because they received it before.

The body that had suffered from epidemic disease. Since the Yan family was innocent, the great-grandfather who had falsely accused Xiang of Aunt Xiang became the target of public criticism. Many people surrounded the door of the grocery store, beat and scolded him, and asked him to return the shop to the Yan family. Unfortunately, Xiang's great-grandfather was a scoundrel and refused to leave no matter what he had taken possession. The Yan family also had backbone. Not long after, they opened another shop. Because of their good reputation, they grew their business in a few years. Now there are four or five branches in Ningbo."
