Lu Huifen doted on her youngest son the most in her life. When her youngest son asked her to buy a cart, she was immediately interested.
"Big brother's wife, you go with mother."
Although Lu Huifen agreed to buy a cart, she was reluctant to pay out of her own pocket. Thinking back to last night, when the eldest daughter-in-law gave her the things, she saw a few pieces of silver in the package, plus a few pieces of jewelry. She coaxed the eldest daughter-in-law to take them out and buy a cart.
"My eldest daughter-in-law, there were not enough white flour buns just now, so Zihuai didn't get any. Come with me, and I'll buy him another one."
Fang Juexia's heart warmed. Did I think wrongly about my mother-in-law? Lu Huifen didn't wait for the eldest daughter-in-law to say anything else and walked over directly. "Qingchi, you look after Zihuai. Your sister-in-law and I will go buy a cart."
Without waiting for the eldest daughter-in-law's response, she pulled her towards the cart where the steamed buns were sold. When they reached the place where white flour buns were sold, she reached out and pulled the package off the eldest daughter-in-law's shoulder, stuffed half an ounce of silver into her hand, and said, "Eldest daughter-in-law, go buy some white flour buns. I'll go check out the cart first. Come over after you buy the buns. Help me push the cart over there."
Fang Juexia was stunned for a moment, "Three hundred coins for a white flour bun, young lady, how many do you want?"
As soon as Wang Laoba saw Fang Juexia, a smile immediately broke out on his face, and he was thinking in his heart.
Oh, my god.
Here comes another pretty young lady.
I have to tell the boss quickly that these exiles are indeed rich businessmen from government families, and each of these girls is prettier than the other.
Fang Juexia glanced at her mother-in-law who was walking quickly forward, and suddenly a feeling of uneasiness arose in her heart.
She subconsciously went forward to chase her mother-in-law, but was blocked by an official.
"I buy——"
She glanced at the silver in her hand, and Wang Lao Ba also saw the silver in her hand.
"With this money, you can buy one with a little extra, but if you buy two, you'll have a little extra. Otherwise, how about this, you see——"
Wang Laoba stretched out his hand and took the silver from Fang Juexia's small hand. As he took the silver, his fingers grabbed Fang Juexia's soft little hand.
Oh my god, it’s so soft and smooth.
No way.
I can't wait until night.
Fang Juexia was only focused on looking at her mother-in-law. When Wang Laoba grabbed her like that, she immediately came to her senses, took a step back, and her little face turned red.
She was a well-educated young lady from an official family at home, and after getting married she was always loved and pampered by her husband. She had never seen such a scene before, and not only did she blush, but her body also began to tremble.
If this had happened in the past, her personal maid and nanny would have been there to fight off the scoundrel.
now--
Oh, this little girl is so adorable.
Look at this little expression, the little face is red, there are tears in the eyes, and the eyes are timid and frightened like a little rabbit.
I've made up my mind. I'm going to find a way to deal with this girl tonight.
"Young lady, where are you from? Who is the person who just walked by?"
Fang Juexia was in a state of confusion. She knew her current status and dared not fight with the officials. If something really happened, her husband would be gone, and there would be no one in her husband's family who could stand up for her. Moreover, she still had a six-year-old son to raise. Without her, her son would have no choice but to die.
Fang Juexia watched as Lu Huifen walked to the place where the carts were sold, put her package on the table, and was unpacking...
At this moment, she really didn't want to care about the entanglement with the official. What meaning did reputation and face have to her at this moment?
Suddenly, she realized the situation she and her son were in.
“I’m not buying it.”
Fang Juexia's face suddenly turned cold, and she reached out to grab the silver from Wang Laoba's hand, not caring at all that her hand touching Wang Laoba's hand would affect her reputation.
She strode forward.
"Mother-in-law, when you buy a cart, you should always check the goods first before paying."
She bumped into Lu Huifen with her body, and Lu Huifen was caught off guard and was knocked to the side.
Fang Juexia quickly picked up the package, tied a knot, and put it on her back. "Mother-in-law, let's go look at the cart."
Having said that, without further ado, he pulled Lu Huifen towards a pile of carts.
"Look at this one. It's a little old, but at least it's sturdy. What about that one? It's new, but it's a little too small..."
After her house was searched, she was imprisoned, and her mother-in-law cheated her of all her money, today her mother-in-law is trying to steal her last savings.
Fang Juexia felt that the her of yesterday - the dignified and gentle eldest daughter-in-law of the third room - was dead. Now she was just an exiled widow with a six-year-old child.
In this world, no one will protect her except her husband in heaven.
And apart from her useless mother, no one else could protect her poor son.
Besides, she was just bound by the rules and required by the world to be a standard inner house woman, she was not really stupid. Before she got married, her mother also taught her how to manage the dowry shop in addition to managing the inner house affairs.
"We don't have the money to buy a new one, so we can just buy an old one, as long as it's strong enough to carry people and things."
Lu Huifen was a little annoyed, knowing that her plan had been seen through by her eldest daughter-in-law.
She really misjudged Fang Juexia. He seemed gentle and timid on weekdays, but she didn't expect him to be so tough in front of her.
"I just asked the official. The old one is thirty and the new one is fifty. We will just buy an old one, eldest daughter-in-law. You know we have limited money and the journey is long. We have many people in our family. You won't need the jewelry in your bag anymore. You can take a gold one and exchange it for an old cart for the official."
Now that she had been seen through, Lu Huifen stopped pretending.
"The cart is the common property of the three houses, so it should be paid for by the public. If mother-in-law thinks we are short of money, then we should not buy it."
Fang Juexia had a smile on her face, but her eyes were cold as she stared at Lu Huifen. "Mother-in-law, speaking of money, I have one more thing to say. Yesterday, I gave all the money my parents gave me to you for safekeeping. There are many people in my family but little money. If something urgent happens, I am not an unkind person. If there is no money in the public treasury, you can naturally use my money first. But my money is not from the public treasury after all. You have to know this."
How dare this bitch talk to her like that?
Lu Huifen was furious for a moment, but then she thought about what she had said last night when she coaxed the bitch to take out the money, saying that she would keep it for her. It was originally just a coaxing sentence, but now that the bitch had brought it up, she couldn't say anything in response.
Humph, damn bitch. Just wait. On the way to exile, she would find an opportunity to sell this bitch and her disgusting son.
"Everyone in our three rooms is poor, how can we afford to buy a cart?"
Seeing that she couldn't get money from Fang Juexia, and didn't want to take it from herself, Lu Huifen was so angry that she was fuming.
Hey, what did she see? Little Suan and housekeeper Su were pulling a cart over.
