Chapter 198 Four Rich Women Businessmen 51

Xie Lu frowned when he heard this and said unhappily: "I handed over the restaurant business to my second sister-in-law because I trust her. How could she fill her personal pockets and take all the money to her parents' home, but we were stuttering even with some charcoal? What's the reason! Her actions not only let our trust down, but also made my second brother unrighteous! It's really heartbreaking!"

Xie Lu's usual style is to use specious principles to label people with labels.

When he sent Li Lingjing to the mountain to reflect, he was very confident in listing the crime. Li Lingjing couldn't tell him, and was angry and anxious. He rushed over and beat him up and scratched him in the face. Xiangzhi still remembers the scene at that time.

Looking at Xie Lu's face now, he felt a little familiar and intimate.

"Maybe the second sister-in-law has her own difficulties, alas..." Xiangzhi pretended to be considerate and said, "The second brother spent money outside and was not rich before. The second sister-in-law had married for so many years and had supplemented a lot of money at home. It is inevitable that her parents' home will talk. Now the situation at home has improved, and the third master has also obtained an official position. It is normal for the second sister-in-law to give herself a face in front of her parents' home."

Xie Lu held Xiangzhi's hand and frowned and said, "It was my second brother who owed her, and it was not what we owe it. How could we use our money to give her face? Is this big or small? With my second sister-in-law's style of doing things, I will not be able to wear my Xie family in the future!"

Xiangzhi pulled out her hand from his palm, pinched the veil and gently pressed the corner of her eyes, and said sadly: "I know that doing this is not good for the family, but I am just a humble and gentle aunt. There is no other way except to be anxious. Fortunately, the charcoal on the old lady's side is enough. Because Qi'er is there, I gave two servings of charcoal. Otherwise, the old lady is old and Qi'er is young and weak, and has a cold disease at night..."

The more Xie Lu heard, his brows became tighter. He was an official at home, so why did his family live so tightly?

Xiangzhi glanced at Xie Lu's ugly face and continued to say slowly: "The Chinese New Year is coming. The third master has been working in the Hanlin Academy for so long. Should I prepare the New Year gift for my colleagues and Shangfeng? This gift cannot be given lightly... It's okay for others, but everyone knows that the third master's family runs a restaurant. If the gift is light, I'm afraid that they will misunderstand our family will not be able to bear money. Did the third master mention this matter with his second sister-in-law? Alas, the second sister-in-law has been very busy recently, and I don't know if she will miss this matter..."

Xie Lu said calmly: "I will rest tomorrow, so I don't have to work in Hanlin Academy. I will ask my second brother and sister-in-law to talk about this."

Xiangzhi sighed softly, "It's hard for the Third Master. She has to care about the outside and worry about family affairs, alas..."

Her words were a silly provocation, implying that the second wife was unable to handle the housework well.

But this sentence happened to Xie Lu's thoughts, so Xie Lu didn't notice the deep meaning in the words at all, and just felt that Xiang Zhi was right! She really worked hard, but the second wife had a bad character and was greedy for the money from the Duke of the People's Republic of China, which made him even more difficult!

Xie Lu saved it for dinner time at Xiangzhi.

After using the charcoal, the charcoal was almost done. The temperature in the house gradually dropped. Xie Lu couldn't stay, so he went back to his house.

Before leaving, she held Xiangzhi's hand affectionately, ensuring that she would not be frozen again.

Xiangzhi's maid had served Li Lingjing before. Seeing Xie Lu abandoned Li Lingjing when he saw Yi Siqian, now he saw Xie Lu's behavior again, and he felt very despised. After Xie Lu left, the maid couldn't help but say to Xiangzhi: "If the third master is really affectionate and righteous, he should have even out the charcoal in his room and give it to his aunt, and I don't know who he wants to fool with this kind of affection!"

Xiangzhi chuckled when she heard this, "He doesn't love anyone, he only loves himself. In fact, it's good... If we really change to someone who is deeply in love, how can we live now?"

She picked up Yubazi, stroked her slowly, closed her eyes and said softly, "Go and burn the silver charcoal we bought privately."

"Oh." The maid responded and went to the cabin on the other side to get charcoal.

Although Xiangzhi lost power before, she had money and means to still hold the hearts of the people in this courtyard.

Xie Lu probably never thought that when she was waiting for the charcoal to warm up in the cold room, Xiangzhi's maid and mother had already used the best charcoal early.

…………

The next day, Xie Lu took back the housekeeper's power and handed it back to Xiangzhi.

This housekeeper's power is required, but Xie Lu's style of conduct is to gain a foothold in the righteousness no matter what he does, so he taught the second wife a lot of lessons.

Just like he took over his wife's maid, because his wife was too violent and now she took back the housekeeper's right because the second wife was misbehaving, and in short, she had to find a reason to convince the public.

But the second wife couldn't stand the grievance and immediately sued the old lady and called herself wronged - she was greedy for money from Mo Gongzhong to her parents' home. She would never dare to admit this crime.

The old lady was old and was troubled by the second lady, so she could only call her sons to confront each other.

The second master of the Xie family was standing on his wife's side, wiping his tears and saying to the old lady: "I am a loser and my wife is also looked down upon. At the beginning, we saw that the third brother was too busy and would help take care of the business out of kindness. You must know that the third brother would be suspicious and would never accept this hot potato no matter what."

The second wife also threw herself to the old lady and cried: "My third brother is an official outside and is not in charge of the family. He doesn't know that the firewood and rice are expensive! When the weather is cold, there are few customers, and the prices of vegetables have risen again and again. The original price can no longer be collected from farmers! Not only that, there are not a small amount of charcoal and candles used in the store every day. The chefs and workers in the kitchen are waiting to receive wages, and there are New Year gifts and New Year goods at home! The servants are waiting to receive money to celebrate the New Year, and the guests have to order vegetables and buy meat in advance. They are all expenses everywhere. I am so busy that I can't unfairly accuse me of subsidizing the money to my parents' home? God is jealous, I don't even have enough charcoal in my house, so how can I afford to supplement my parents' home! Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo

Xie Lu was frustrated by the second wife. He really had no evidence, but it was obvious that his family had no money now.

"Second sister-in-law, when the house didn't open a restaurant, the money was never so tight..."

"What does third brother mean? Do you think that you can make a lot of money by opening a restaurant now? If you don't see the money, you are greedy for me?"

The second wife said mercilessly: "Why don't you think about it? Did you have such a big house at home? Are there so many servants? Now you are an official outside, and you have bought a new house at home and bought a beautiful servant to support you. Don't these require money? House repairs, food, clothing, housing and transportation for the servants, which one does not need money?!"
