Chapter 144 I Can't Listen
Shi Liu glanced at Madam Bai, who had a serious expression, and quickly pointed at Shen Yi and Su Chunlin, "My lord, the eldest son went to Moshi Town that day and ate Guokui in the restaurant of his uncle. He praised it highly and asked my uncle for a cook. Unfortunately, Guokui was not made by our cook either. The uncle had no choice but to explain, and the eldest son didn't seem very happy.
Look, my son-in-law asked me to invite the chef who makes pot cakes today. If the eldest master has anything to say, he can talk to Master Shen in person.
Master Shen is from Shenjiazhuang, Moshi Town. He is also a famous ferryman on the Daxun River and the lifesaver of our son-in-law. "
Her words made the relationship between Shen Yi and Ma Xingteng clear.
Mrs. Bai was very displeased. She glanced at Mr. Bai and said indifferently, "Master, I told you at the beginning that the Ma family is too small to be on the stage, but you thought it was a good idea and insisted on marrying Rong to Ma Xingteng. Look at how you did it. It's really ridiculous!"
Pomegranate's expression changed slightly.
Su Chunlin was confused and watched the situation quietly.
Madam Bai took a sip of her saliva and sneered, "Young Master has been raised with all kinds of delicacies from land and sea. What good things has he not seen? It's just a broken pot cake. He just thought it was novel and praised it. It doesn't matter if it's not made by the Ma family chef. What's the big deal?
You even invited a master who makes Guokui from afar to come here, as if we absolutely must have it. Isn't that ridiculous?"
Pomegranate was about to explain.
Chen Yi took the initiative to bow and said, "Madam is wise. I also felt very puzzled when I heard about this yesterday. Our Guokui is well made. It is not only in Moshi Town, but also in other towns. I have never heard of anyone making trouble before. Since it is a misunderstanding, we will leave first."
"Master Shen?" Shi Liu's eyes widened in shock. She never expected Shen Yi to say that.
Just when she was at a loss, Master Bai spoke up, "Master Shen has come from afar, please rest for a while tonight, let me do my best to be a good host, it won't be too late to leave tomorrow morning.
I'd like to apologize to you on behalf of my son-in-law. He just cares too much and makes things complicated. Master Shen, please don't be offended and don't hurt the harmony between you. From now on, your business will continue as usual, hehe."
Mrs. Bai snorted in dissatisfaction, and her eyes almost rolled up to the sky.
Mr. Bai ignored her and just asked the servant to take the three of them away to rest.
Shi Liu heaved a sigh of relief after walking out of the hall, and thanked Shen Yi when she was far away, "Just now I thought the master would be angry, but fortunately Master Shen is smart, with the master's words, the eldest son can't make a fuss about this matter."
"Miss Shi Liu, you are too polite." Shen Yi said a few polite words and asked, "We would like to meet Su Chuan's family. Can you make it convenient for us?"
"That's convenient!" Shi Liu nodded hurriedly. "You two go to the guest house to rest first. I'll go find someone to pass on the message. I'll go to the guest house later to give you brother's approval."
"Thank you." Shen Yi pulled Su Chunlin away.
Su Chunlin's eyes were busy all the way, and he whispered in Shen Yi's ear: "Look at this wealthy family, it's different. I used to come here through the back door, and the farthest I walked was to the gate of the compound, and I couldn't see anything.
I thought your house was spacious before, but now compared with Bai Mansion, it's really nothing to look at."
Shen Yi sneered and pointed at the bluestone floor, "Father-in-law, let's not talk about other things. I can't even get these slate bricks. How can we compare?"
"That's true!"
The two of them entered the guest house chatting.
Shi Liu also found out where Cui Lan lived.
While the maid went back to the house at night, she went to look for her and brought back some good things.
When Cuilan opened the door, Shi Liu was so frightened that she almost cried out, "How did you become like this?"
When Cuilan went to live with her, she was still beautiful even though she was pregnant. But now she is emaciated and looks more than ten years older.
Cuilan quickly tidied up her hair and stepped aside to let Shi Liu in. "Aren't you in Moshi Town? Are you back with Miss Rong?"
It's not a festival, what are you doing back here?
Cuilan was full of doubts.
Shi Liu did not hide it and told the situation.
Cuilan frowned, "When did the young master go to Moshi Town? How come I don't know?"
Shi Liu's heart tightened, and she asked tentatively, "Isn't Su Chuan following the young master? Didn't he tell you?"
Cuilan's face darkened, with a hint of disgust on her face. "Don't mention that family to me. I have nothing to do with them anymore!"
"Ah? How come it doesn't matter? Where's your child?" Shi Liu was so shocked that she lost her composure and her voice became a little excited.
Cuilan shook her head and covered her face with tears. "The child was not saved. Su Chuan and his family followed Young Master Zhu to the Zhu Mansion. I didn't want to go and stayed by my master's side to serve him. My master also wanted me to marry the manager of the village, but I refused. Now my master asked me to comb my hair and be a mother by her side."
Shi Liu was shocked by the news and couldn't recover for a long time. "How...how did it become like this? Where is the young master? What did the young master say?"
Cuilan looked at Shi Liu strangely, "What else can the young master say?"
Shi Liu realized that she had let the cat out of the bag, and hurriedly tried to make amends, "I meant that Su Chuan had served the young master for many years, and the young master just gave his family away so easily?"
Cuilan nodded. "Mr. Zhu promised a few servants, but how could he be reluctant to give them up? My dear sister, what do you think I should do now? Madam Zhu is unhappy because I am willing to go with Su Chuan's family. In addition, Mr. Zhu hates me, so she doesn't like me anymore."
"Then let's go! Why stay here and suffer?" Shi Liu said as a matter of course: "Let me tell you, although the Su Chuan family are all servants, the Su family's relatives all live very well. There are not many others, just take our son-in-law's lifesaver, Master Shen.
He is Su Chuan's cousin's husband. He is now doing business and making a lot of money. His business is not only spread all over Moshi Town, but also all over Dahe Town. Their pot-cakes are sold all over the town.
Many chefs want to learn from him, but just can't cook his food. Now two big courtyards have been built in the village, which is very elegant. The work in the fields is also done by hired people, and there is nothing wrong with calling him the landlord.
Let’s take a look at my uncle Su Chuan’s family. I heard from my brother-in-law that they earned several thousand taels from selling grain. Just imagine, for an ordinary farmer’s family, earning several thousand taels a year, how comfortable can their life be!
Not only Su Chuan's uncle's family, but almost the entire Dongmen Village has become prosperous. It goes without saying that Su Yu's husband's family is the village chief.
Maybe in two or three years, there will be many more wealthy families in Moshi Town, among whom there will definitely be relatives of Su Chuan. You will definitely have a good life with Su Chuan."
Cuilan was stunned by what she heard, her face full of suspicion, "Shi Liu, we are sisters, you don't have to say these things to deceive me! If the peasants in the countryside really have such a way to make money, why would they dress in rags like beggars!"
Looking at her, has she never seen Su Chuan’s poor relatives?
