Xie Wanyun was speechless. It would be hard for anyone to feel good to have their hopes dashed after such a long time. She hadn't even seen her child when it was born!
The journey to find her son is so difficult and tortuous. Is God testing her again?
She stood there, looking up at the sky. The sky was gray, empty and lonely.
However, life had to go on. Her shop had always been doing well, and the more so, the more she dared not be careless. She ran the business with care, and honesty and trustworthiness were the foundation of business.
The Xie family's shop had a good reputation, offering high-quality goods at fair prices, and her business relationships with high-quality merchants were growing. Every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, Xie Wanyun would open a porridge factory to provide relief to the poor and give winter clothes to homeless beggars. Everyone knew that Madam Xie was compassionate to the poor and weak, and treated everyone with honesty. In the capital, her reputation and strength were unmatched.
As for Old Madam Qin, since she became bedridden, Xie Wanyun has been serving her ginseng soup every day. Although she is still not in good spirits, she is always keeping her life going.
Mrs. Wei visited the old lady every day, and gradually she felt relieved after a while. One day, she suddenly remembered that she had been so busy taking care of the old lady that she had forgotten to ask about the business of Xie Wanyun's shop!
I finally waited for Xie Wanyun to show up that day. I wanted to ask her how much dividends she had received and when they would be paid. But she was so arrogant and tried to save face. I had to wait until she had seen Old Madam Qin before I pretended to be indifferent and asked, "Wanyun, how's business been lately?"
"Well, not bad." Xie Wanyun took a sip of tea and answered slowly.
Wei was so anxious that she scratched her head and cheeks, secretly cursing her for deliberately keeping her in suspense, but she had no choice but to put on a smile and continue to flatter her.
"So it's quite profitable? Wanyun, you're really capable. Our Qin family married you as a daughter-in-law, which is really a blessing from our ancestors."
"You're too kind, I don't deserve it." Xie Wanyun sneered inwardly. She didn't have any urgent matters today, so she might as well stay in the Marquis' Mansion for a while longer.
Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of Liu Yuner's shadow passing by the door.
Wei waited for a while, but when Xie Wanyun didn't follow up, she lost her patience and asked directly, "So, the old lady and I will get our dividends soon, right?"
"Madam, are you very anxious?" Xie Wanyun glanced at her with a half-smile.
Wei's face was burning. However, now that she had to ask for help, she didn't care about her face anymore. "You know, the old lady's health has suddenly collapsed recently. We have spent a lot of money on seeking medical treatment and medicine. Add to that Su An's matter, the family deficit is also not small. The old lady is sick, and I have to take care of all the expenses. Money is really tight. Don't laugh at you, but everyone in this mansion is waiting for the dividends to live."
Xie Wanyun took a sip of tea and said indifferently, "Has life really become this difficult? Let me tell you, even though Qin Su'an has lost his job, he's a grown man. He can't just sit around and do nothing. He should find something serious to do."
Wei's head hurt when she heard this. Qin Su'an not only ate for free, but also begged for money. Liu Yun'er was even more ruthless. Seeing that he was useless, she just wanted to get money out of the mansion. Especially now that the old lady had fallen ill and Wei couldn't care for her alone, these people were even more aggressive. But how could she say this to Xie Wanyun? She could only smile and respond casually, then asked when the dividends would be distributed and how much money would be allocated?
Seeing that the time and temperature were almost up, Xie Wanyun knew that Liu Yun'er was still eavesdropping outside, so he raised his voice slightly and said, "Don't worry, madam! Business has been good recently, and this period's dividends have more than doubled compared to before. You just wait at home for your division of the money!"
When Wei heard this, the dark clouds in the sky instantly vanished. She was instantly overjoyed, her face flushed with excitement, and she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth and just nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
Xie Wanyun just thought it was funny, her face still calm. She saw the corner of a piece of clothing flash outside the door, it was obvious that Liu Yun'er had heard the exact news and had left.
Xie Wanyun got up and left. Wei Shi did not try to keep her, but only hypocritically asked her to come home and stay more often.
