Chapter 269 Did Su Jixiang Bully You?
As a widow, Qu Qing's husband's family wanted to drive her back home when her husband just passed away in order to divide the inheritance left to her by her husband.
She was once very confused and took her children back to her parents' home once. However, because her younger brother was acting up and her parents were too obedient to him, they told her that there was no place for her in the house and she was not allowed to return home.
She had no way out, so she could only grit her teeth and fight for the current shop with her husband's family for the sake of her children.
When Weidong went to Anshun City to look for spices, Qu Qing had just taken over the shop.
Her husband's family gave her a bad reputation, and she had a difficult time in Anshun City at that time.
So when she heard that Wei Dong was from Mangcheng, she agreed to sell the spices in her store to Caidiexuan at a very thin profit, and insisted on delivering the goods to Mangcheng herself, one to reduce costs, and two because she wanted to come and see her parents.
She is very honest in doing business and has now become much more stable in Anshun City.
"Boss Qu has a hard time too." Lu Shui sighed.
"It's hard for any woman to live in this world. And these are troubled times. It's more difficult to gain a foothold than usual." Su Jixiang sighed softly and said slowly.
"Will the old couple in the teahouse sell their shop and leave with Boss Qu?" Lushui looked behind her and asked curiously.
"I don't think so for now." Su Jixiang shook his head. "If they really wanted to get rid of their bastard son, they would have found a way long ago instead of letting that bastard come back again and again to ask for money. Even if they are very angry, compared with this son, Qu Qing may be insignificant."
"Then why did the lady speak up for Boss Qu and persuade the couple, instead of persuading Boss Qu not to meddle in other people's business. If she were to get stuck with her brother, nothing good would happen to her." Lu Shui was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"Qu Qing herself can't let go of the kindness her parents gave her, so we should help her." Su Jixiang said calmly, "Some things may not be learned without a bloody fight. The old couple who opened the teahouse are like this, and so is Qu Qing."
After saying that, she glanced at Wei Rui, who had been following her silently.
There was no obvious expression on Wei Rui's face, but his eyes were somewhat heavy.
Su Jixiang didn't say anything more, but took Lu Shui and Wei Rui to the shop opposite.
The owner of the grocery store was already waiting inside the shop selling mutton offal soup. When he saw Su Jixiang coming, the owners of the two shops welcomed Su Jixiang in together.
After some bargaining, Su Jixiang successfully bought the two shops and signed contracts with the two owners. After Su Jixiang paid the money, the two owners also took out the land deeds and house deeds and asked Wei Rui to take them to the government for transfer.
Wei Rui was on his way to the government office with the house deed and land deed. When he passed by Hongyun Tower, he was spotted by Zhao Xiuwan who happened to be standing at the door.
This was the first time she had seen Nangong Rui since Wei Rui left the Nangong family. She had sent someone to the Nangong family to inquire before, but she only knew that the Nangong family had expelled Nangong Rui and that Nangong Rui had sold himself. Later, she and Qian Feng inquired and found out that Nangong Rui had sold himself to the general's mansion.
She originally wanted to go to the General's Mansion to find Nangong Rui, but when she thought that Su Jixiang was the mistress of the General's Mansion, if she went there rashly and was discovered, she didn't know what kind of gossip Su Jixiang would have with Wei Ling, so she gave up the idea.
"Lord Nangong!" Zhao Xiuwan was surprised when she saw Nangong Rui.
Lord Nangong... a title I haven't heard for a long time, but Wei Rui still stopped and looked at Zhao Xiuwan.
"Hello, Mrs. Qian!" He bowed quickly.
"I just felt that the back was familiar, it was you!" Zhao Xiuwan's Hongyun Restaurant was doing pretty well. After all, it had a good location and the shopkeeper was very smart. Although the business was not as good as that of Caidiexuan, it was still considered good on the whole street. In addition, Qian Feng had publicized Zhao Xiuwan's restaurant in the military camp, so Hongyun Restaurant did a lot of business in the military camp.
Zhao Xiuwan had previously been relatively restrained in front of Qian Feng because of the IOU incident, but as Hongyun Building's business has been good recently, she began to act a little proud again.
"Why are you so reserved?" Zhao Xiuwan smiled happily, "Didn't you call me sister-in-law before?"
"Things are different now." Wei Rui bowed again.
In the past, he was Qian Feng's colleague, so he could naturally call Zhao Xiuwan sister-in-law. But now he is just a servant in the general's mansion, so how can he call Zhao Xiuwan sister-in-law?
"You don't have to be like this between you and me." Zhao Xiuwan smiled, "How have you been lately?"
"Very good." Wei Rui said, "Madam Qian, I have something else to do, so I won't stay any longer."
"Are you hiding from me?" The smile on Zhao Xiuwan's face gradually disappeared, and she looked at Wei Rui with a little displeasure.
"No, I really have something to do." Wei Rui said, "Please forgive me, Madam. I have to go to work."
He turned to leave.
Zhao Xiuwan finally saw that Nangong Rui would not let him leave so quickly.
"Wait a minute!" Zhao Xiuwan stopped Wei Rui, "Did Su Jixiang bully you?"
"Madam, why do you say that?" Wei Rui lowered his eyes and said, "The General's Mansion has been very kind to me, and no one will bully me."
"If I didn't want to bully you, why would I force you to sell yourself into slavery?" Zhao Xiuwan got angry when she mentioned this. Isn't Su Jixiang the only one in the world who is capable? Isn't she the only one who has money? If her family hadn't paid back so much money to Li Yuzhu, how could Su Jixiang be a good person!
"I wasn't forced to sell myself." Wei Rui said, "Mrs. Qian, you are too kind."
"Ha, I don't believe that no one is forcing you. Is there any idiot in this world who is really willing to sell himself?" Zhao Xiuwan said in a sharp voice.
Wei Rui frowned. It was indeed Su Jixiang who offered to sell herself, but she did not force him. It was just his own will.
"How much did you get for selling your body?" Zhao Xiuwan calculated. She still had some money in her store. She might as well get the indenture for Wei Rui! He was selling his body anyway. Wouldn't it be better to sell it to herself than to Su Jixiang? At least she wouldn't treat him as a slave! "Is it possible to redeem him?"
"Madam Qian, you don't have to do this." Wei Rui quickly shook his head and said, "I'm fine now. Everyone in the general's mansion treats me very well. I don't want to redeem myself."
"Well, since you said so, just treat me as meddling in your business!" Zhao Xiuwan was annoyed when she saw Wei Rui's stubborn attitude. She snorted, "Then go away! If you don't want to do this anymore, just come find me!"
