Chapter 140: Being sold, and having to help her count the money



Today, when the old lady and others saw Shi Qingluo, they no longer had sad faces.

"Now that you are here, please sit down!"

The old lady was extremely enthusiastic and even asked her other granddaughter to pour water for Shi Qingluo and the other man.

What’s even more rare is that she actually took the initiative to ask me to add some brown sugar to the water.

Shi Qingluo sat down, took the cup and took a sip, "Has the Wu family agreed to all the requests you made today?"

The old lady smiled and said, "I agreed, thanks to your idea."

Shi Qingluo looked at her and asked, "You didn't sell me out, did you?"

The old lady immediately waved her hands and said, "No, how could I sell you out?"

The main reason is that she doesn’t dare. Otherwise, if that dead girl finds out, she will punish her son.

Shi Qingluo smiled and nodded, "That's right, only when I am better can you be better."

She turned to Shi Lao Si and asked, "You didn't give that bottle of medicine to the Wu family, did you?"

Shi Lao Si immediately shook his head, "No, you said I couldn't give it to them, so no matter how much Young Master Wu asked for it today, I didn't give it to them."

Shi Qingluo nodded, "Well done."

She added, "Tomorrow you and my husband will go to the county town and give the medicine to Magistrate Mo."

This is the evidence. Once it falls into Mo Qingling's hands, he can follow the clues to find out more.

Shi Lao Si was stunned for a moment, "Ah, why should we give it to Magistrate Mo? Aren't we going to keep it to continue threatening the Wu family?"

Shi Qingluo said: "Hand it over to Magistrate Mo, and only then can your life be saved."

"The Wu family is not a kind family. If you keep the medicine bottle in your hand, it will be a death warrant."

She emphasized, "Besides, it's not us who want to keep him to threaten the Wu family, but you."

Shi Lao Si frowned, "You mean, the Wu family wants to kill me just for this medicine bottle handle?"

This is unlikely, right? Shi Qingluo saw that he didn't believe it, "I heard that Young Master Wu has desperate men under his command. If you don't believe it and think you can beat him, then keep it."

She added meaningfully, "If the head of the Wu family and his son are exiled to the frontier, only a group of women and children will be left. Then you sons-in-law might be able to get a lot of the Wu family's property."

Hearing this, Shi Lao Si was moved.

Old Madam Shi patted her legs and told Old Fourth Shi, "Listen to Qingluo."

If the Wu family is brought down, her son might really be able to divide up the Wu family's property.

Then it's not just one thousand taels, but countless thousand taels.

It’s exciting just thinking about it.

Shi Qingluo chuckled, "You're not calling me a dead girl anymore?"

Old lady Shi and others: "..."

The old lady smiled awkwardly, "We are a family, how could we call her a dead girl?"

Shi Lao Si and the old lady had similar thoughts, so he suppressed his excitement and said, "Okay, I will hand the medicine bottle over to Magistrate Mo tomorrow."

Shi Qingluo knew that benefits would be more likely to impress these top people than threats of losing their lives.

She looked at Shi Lao Si and said, "If you want to divide up the family property quickly, you can stay at the Wu family with your new wife on the day you return home after getting married."

"If you find any evidence that could land the Wu family in jail or exile, immediately hand it over to Magistrate Mo."

"By then, you, as the son-in-law, will not only not be implicated by the Wu family because of your meritorious reporting, but you will also be commended and praised by the county magistrate."

Only by using such a big stick of interests to tether Shi Lao Si, will this guy not be stupid enough to be lured and compromised by the Wu family. The dog-eat-dog situation must continue.

Shi Lao Si thought it made sense and said, "No problem."

He knew that Xiao Hanzheng and Magistrate Mo were very close, and it sounded like Magistrate Mo was going to deal with the Wu family.

So what is he waiting for? He should quickly bring down the Wu family so that they can divide the property.

I couldn't help but feel the desire to defeat the Wu family immediately.

Old Lady Shi and the others were also dazzled by the Wu family's wealth. "Yes, bullies like the Wu family should have been exiled long ago. If we find evidence, it would be a good thing."

Shi Lao San, who was sitting nearby, couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard what they said.

It seems that he always said that he should do more good things, and his family did listen to some of them, but they did good things like this...

Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "Yes, those who have been bullied by the Wu family will definitely thank you in the future."

He was talking nonsense in all seriousness again, "If Fourth Uncle has a good reputation, it will be more advantageous for him to take the imperial examination. Maybe he can even pass the imperial examination and become an official in the future."

Considering that the fourth brother was always thinking of doing evil things, a student was the perfect match for him.

But of course this cannot be said out loud. We still have to give Shi Jiaji more hope so that they will work harder.

These words made Shi Lao Si, the old lady and others feel comfortable.

"Qingluo, it was grandma who misunderstood you before."

Old Madam Shi looked at Shi Qingluo kindly and said, "We are a family. Let's forget about those unpleasant things and have more contact in the future."

This girl is worthy of being the disciple of the old immortal, she has a sharp mind.

If their family wants to prosper in the future, it is necessary for them to spend more time with this girl and let her give them some advice.

Shi Qingluo also smiled gently, "Of course, we are a family, you are good, I am good, and everyone is good."

If you don’t know, you would think the relationship between the two sides is really good.

Xiao Hanzheng looked at his young wife like this, and a smile appeared on his face.

Only a young wife could fool these top-notch guys and make them come forward on their own initiative.

He was really sold out by his wife and he still has to help her count money.

After Shi Qingluo gave instructions to the best people in the Shi family, he left with Xiao Hanzheng.

Looking at the big goose, it followed the two of them very humanly.

Shi Qingluo did whatever he was told to do, and the people in the Shi family were amazed.

Seeing this, the third brother became even more determined to follow his daughter.

Even the big goose can be so obedient and human-like. This girl is amazing. It is just a matter of time before he has a son.

The old lady thought for a moment and told her family, "Don't call me dead girl anymore. It's so unpleasant."

Niu curled her lips, "What's that called?"

She was both afraid and resentful of her daughter who would beat her with a cane.

The old lady gave her a warning look and said, "Just call her Qingluo. This is a name given by an old immortal. It means you are very lucky."

The main thing is that if they keep shouting "the dead girl" and make that girl unhappy, she will no longer give advice to the family. Where can they go to cry?

Moreover, this girl's husband, who is a scholar, is very close to the county magistrate, and has a great teacher. There is also a nobleman from the capital living in her house. It is obvious that she has a bright future.

Now that we have finally restored the relationship, it would be a fool's thing to offend others by shouting nonsense.

The old lady is very smart in this regard.

Niu: “…” That’s not what you said before.

I don't know who said that it would be a waste to give a country girl such a name, but now it has become a blessing...

Shi Lao San knew the old lady very well, guessed her thoughts, and gave her a thumbs up, "Mom is still amazing, old ginger is still spicy."

The old lady looked very proud and said, "Of course."

Although Niu and others have not come to their senses yet, the old lady is the one who makes the decisions in this family, so they can only listen.

There are three more chapters to go, and they will continue at 12 noon~~      (End of this chapter)
