Chapter 91 Frame-up
Faced with the aggressive and relentless Jiang Shu, the two were furious.
"Even your father dare not speak to us like this. You are simply a traitor and disrespectful to your elders. No wonder you are disliked by Marquis Jing'an." Jiang Shaohua used his status as an elder to intimidate him and used Jiang Shu's past as an excuse to attack him.
Staring at them with apricot eyes, Jiang Shu retorted: "As the old saying goes, virtuous people should be filial, uncle and third uncle might as well examine themselves first."
"As for the marriage between Marquis Jing'an and I, it's me who dislikes him, not him who dislikes me. If uncle has any doubts, we can ask the eldest princess." "
My letter of harmony is still stamped with the jade seal of the Holy Emperor."
"You!" The two of them were furious, staring at Jiang Shu with red faces and thick necks, and their nostrils seemed to be spitting out fire.
After a moment of stalemate, Jiang Shaohua asked, "I'll ask you again, do you agree to share the property equally?"
"Don't even think about it!" Jiang Shu frowned and refused to give in.
"Okay, very good!"
"I want to see how a woman like you can support Jiang's business without your father."
"Since you are heartless and ungrateful, don't blame us for being rude!"
The two left angrily after making a lot of nonsense.
Jiang Shu looked at their backs, her pretty face solemn.
Since they have completely torn their faces, they will definitely do whatever it takes. She must be prepared for danger and deal with their mischief.
There is no time to waste, Jiang Shu ordered the staff to call the shopkeepers of each shop to inform and discuss.
Although the shopkeepers are loyal to Jiang's father, they have been dealing with Jiang Shaohua and Jiang Shaohe for many years, and there are many people who are on good terms with them, so it is difficult to be sure for a while.
"Will the first and third masters really harm Jiang's business?"
"If we prosper together, we all prosper, and if we suffer together, we all suffer. What good does it do for them to do this?"
Jiang Shu pursed his lips and said angrily, "They saw that my father was unconscious and wanted to divide the Jiang family's business equally. I don't agree."
"This..." The shopkeepers looked at each other in bewilderment.
"The boss is in danger of life and death, and they don't care at all. They even took advantage of the fire to rob. It's really too much." Someone angrily scolded.
"Yes, in recent years, whenever their shops encountered problems, the bosses would solve them. They were almost hands-off managers who only took money. It's really disheartening to see them like this now." "
Don't worry, young lady. We will definitely stand by you and will never let them succeed."
Hearing their words, Jiang Shu was touched and promised solemnly: "I will remember your loyalty in my heart and will never let you down."
After communicating with the shopkeepers and reaching an agreement, Jiang Shu continued to run his business as usual. When he was free, he would inspect the shops of Jiang Shaohua and Jiang Shaohe.
This move was to let them understand that no matter who managed the Jiang family's business, it belonged to the Jiang family.
It could be given out and taken back.
If they were honest and dutiful, they would be given a way out. If you are obsessed with fantasy, you will get nothing.
Jiang Shaohua and Jiang Shaohe cling to their own shops, and try their best to instigate the shopkeepers of other shops, and even collude with suppliers to set traps for Jiang Shu.
Jiang Shu responds calmly and counters each move. When he finds the shopkeeper who betrayed him, he dismisses him directly and promotes the smart and capable partners in the shop to be the new shopkeeper.
In this way, those shopkeepers who are waiting and ready to make a move dare not rebel, and all the partners in the shop are loyal and work hard, hoping to become the new shopkeeper.
"Killing the chicken to scare the monkey, Shu'er used this trick very well." Jiang's father sighed while drinking soup.
Jiang Shu massaged his leg and said, "So, Dad, you can rest assured to recover and leave Jiang's business to me."
Jiang's father smiled comfortingly, looked up at Jiang Ning, and said hesitantly, "It's too hard for you to do it alone. Why don't you let Ning follow you and help you learn business at the same time?"
Jiang Shu had thought about it, but Jiang Ning was still young and loved to study, so he was afraid that she would not be willing to learn from him.
Sure enough, Jiang Ning's head shook like a toss drum when he heard Jiang's father's words.
"I don't want to learn business, I just want to study."
Jiang's father sighed: "But your sister is suffering alone, you are a man, you should protect her."
"I study hard, and I will be able to better protect my sister and support her in the future." Jiang Ning said boldly with a firm look.
He didn't learn business not because he was ignorant and unwilling to share the burden with his sister. But the books he read and the things he saw made him understand that businessmen are declining, and no matter how rich they are, they are restricted in many ways.
So he has to study hard, get a good name, and become an official to support his sister.
Only in this way can he protect them to the greatest extent.
"Sister believes in you, you can do it." Jiang Shu patted Jiang Ning's shoulder, and his heart was moved.
After experiencing the contempt and indifference of the nobles, Jiang Shu's thoughts are the same as Jiang Ning.
Everything is inferior, only reading is superior.
If you don't enter the government, but only do business to make money, the more wealth you have, the more dangerous it will be, and you may even encounter a disaster.
It is easy to save money, but difficult to keep it.
"Alas, you are older and have more ideas than us. We can't control you anymore." Jiang's father sighed with relief.
Jiang's mother took the opportunity to say, "Then don't worry about anything. Take good care of your health and don't let them worry. It's better than anything else."
"Yes, yes, you are all right. I will listen to you." Jiang's father compromised and admitted defeat.
The three of them smiled at each other, and the family was harmonious, just like before.
The tenth day of every month is the day for Jiang's account checking. On this day, the shopkeepers of each shop will bring the account book to Jiang's house, hand it over to the boss for verification, and report the matters in the shop.
Jiang Shu sat in the main seat in the hall, carefully looking through the account books of each shop, listening to the reports from the shopkeepers, and discussing with them.
"Master, Third Master, the girl is busy." The voice of the housekeeper came from outside the hall.
Jiang Shu raised her head and saw Jiang Shaohua and Jiang Shaohe rushing in.
The shopkeepers sitting on both sides turned their heads and looked at the two of them in confusion.
"You evil girl, you actually colluded with outsiders to kill your father and usurp the Jiang family's property. Your behavior is so evil that it is hated by both humans and gods." Jiang Shaohe pointed at Jiang Shu and cursed.
Jiang Shaohua also angrily accused: "When we tried to obstruct us, you teamed up with others to put us in jail and cruelly poisoned your own father. Your evil deeds should be punished."
As soon as the two of them said this, all the shopkeepers were shocked and looked at Jiang Shu.
"What! The boss...is dead."
Jiang Shu put down the account book in his hand, stared at the two people in the hall with cold almond eyes, and his pretty face suddenly turned cold.
"I respect you as elders, and I have always given you some face. But you actually cursed my father to death out of family affection, and even slandered me with sweet words. You are simply ruthless and have no conscience!"
"Humph! Whether your father is dead or alive, everyone will know after going to see him." Jiang Shaohe instigated everyone.
That day they came to Jiang's house to visit, and Jiang's mother told them that if Jiang's father did not wake up within ten days, it would be a disaster.
Now ten days have passed, and there is no news that Jiang's father has woken up. They just went to Jiang's father's yard to visit, and the servants also stopped them from entering. There must be something fishy.
Combined with Jiang Shu's recent actions, they guessed that Jiang's father was dead, and Jiang Shu wanted to take over the Jiang family's business, so she concealed the fact that Jiang's father was dead.
It's ridiculous that a woman wants to cover up everything!
"The doctor said that my father needs to rest and can't be disturbed or stimulated." Jiang Shu said coldly.
Jiang Shaohua and Jiang Shaohe heard this and became more certain of their guesses. They said confidently: "Listen, she is guilty and dare not let us see her."
