Chapter 134 Sending the Old Boss
"Boss, I'm late!!!"
A wailing sound was heard, and someone stumbled into the mourning hall.
Pu Qiongzhi looked carefully and saw that it was the owners of her own shop who had arrived.
Not only the shopkeeper, but also the people from the side branches of the family.
"Old Boss, you are such a good person, why are you suffering so much..."
"Wow, wow, old boss, I haven't had time to repay you yet, why are you gone first?"
"Rest in peace, old master! I will soon serve you like a slave to repay your kindness! Woo woo woo..."
Most of the shopkeepers who rushed over had received favors from Pu Rongda.
Some of them were even saved by Pu Rongda.
They are all the most loyal clerks and shopkeepers of the Pu family. They are not only loyal to the family for the money, but also out of gratitude for Pu Rongda's kindness.
"Sister Qiongzhi, my uncle has passed away. You must not grieve too much. You must take care of yourself..."
"Now that you are married, you have to be more considerate of your husband's family."
"Yes, there are thousands of people in this business waiting to eat. Such a heavy burden is placed on your shoulders. It hurts us, the elders, to see it!"
Originally, Pu Qiongzhi thought that even if her father was not around, they would not have the courage to cause trouble.
But before my father's body was cold, these jackals, tigers and leopards showed up.
"Uncle, the harvest from your shop last year dropped by a full 60%. The farmland you ran the year before was completely destroyed, so you've had to maintain it for the next three years... Cousin, if I remember correctly, your fireworks shop made less than 20 taels of profit last year. You even nearly went to jail because of a fire. Did you spend 5,000 taels on bribery?"
"Father is gone now. Don't think I don't know what you're planning, one by one or two of you!"
Pu Qiongzhi said coldly, "My father has a good temper, and it's hard for me to control him!"
"I'm making this clear today. If you cause any trouble, I won't care!"
"Of course, if you are obedient, I, Pu Qiongzhi, will ensure that you live a life of luxury and wealth for the rest of your life."
"Last year, my father passed the family seal to me with the witness of the elders."
"As the daughter of the 22nd generation head of the family, I, Pu Qiongzhi, will take over the family until the 23rd generation head of the family is found to take over!"
Her words caused an uproar.
"Pu Qiongzhi! You are unfilial and unbrotherly! You are overstepping your bounds!"
"Pu Qiongzhi, do you still have any female virtue? Obey your father at home, obey your husband after marriage, and obey your son after your husband's death... You should understand this!"
The group of people from the Pu family asked harsh questions and pressed forward step by step, trying to force Pu Qiongzhi to hand over power.
What a joke! After getting married, she is no longer a member of the Pu family!
Not to mention that they bullied her, there is no such rule in the world to let a married woman be the head of the household!
"I'm still here!" Nangong Hua took a few steps and stood in front of Pu Qiongzhi.
The group seemed to have gained support and shouted even louder, "That's right! Your husband is still here!"
"I'm saying, you're being so disrespectful to my wife in my Earl of Gongning's mansion... and I'm still here! If you dare say anything I don't like, don't blame me for being rude!"
"People like you are not welcome in my house. Think carefully about who is superior and who is inferior now!" Nangong Hua said loudly with a stern face.
Pu Qiongzhi looked at the group and said mercilessly, "You are just a bunch of low-class people. Do you really think you are worthless?"
"If you have any objections, please ask the elders of the clan. This matter has been decided, and you can't change it just by saying so! If you want to replace me in the Pu family, you have to practice for a few more decades!"
Pu Qiongzhi has this confidence.
Her abilities are not something these people can easily challenge.
She was just curious about who had persuaded these idiots to come to the capital to cause trouble.
She walked towards these people step by step.
Several people from the Pu family were frightened by her and retreated repeatedly, especially Pu Qiongzhi's cousins, who had all been tortured by her wrists...
If they could convince the elders, they would not come to the capital to argue with her!
Unfortunately, Pu Qiongzhi was difficult to deal with a few years ago, but now that she has grown stronger, how can they shake her?
"Dad, let's go!" Pu Mincai said to Pu Zhen.
Pu Qiongzhi watched the father and son leave.
What she feared was that these idiots would get involved in the fight for the throne!
If something happens at that time and the whole family is implicated, it will be troublesome.
Look at the situation first. If persuasion doesn’t work, you have to find a way to cut ties with them!
She couldn't joke about the lives of so many people in the Pu family!
"Madam, don't worry..." Nangong Hua thought she was afraid that she couldn't handle it, "If it really doesn't work out, I will marry into your family."
Upon hearing this, Nangong Xue and Nangong Yue both turned their eyes to him.
"..." Nangong Hua straightened his back, "What's the problem?"
"No..." They both shook their heads.
They had always thought that this brother was very concerned about his reputation and that face was more important than anything else.
Now it seems that they were superficial!
Pu Qiongzhi was almost amused by Nangong Hua's words.
However, the pain of her father's death weighed on her heart, preventing her from laughing.
Even so, this comforted her a lot.
"Thank you, my husband. I appreciate your kindness."
Nangong Hua felt bad for her when he saw how hard she was trying to hold on.
"Don't be afraid, Madam. You still have us. We are a family!"
"Yes, sister-in-law!" Nangong Xue said, "As long as I'm here, sister-in-law will never have to worry about having no place to live!"
Nan Gongyue and Nangong Jiayu also expressed their support.
Pu Qiongzhi nodded and said nothing more.
Nangong Hua knew that this was just the way she was.
Although he seems approachable, he is actually more guarded than anyone else and is always polite and distant.
For her, weighing the pros and cons is instinctive.
But the Nangong family appreciated her kindness and was willing to repay her efforts.
"Eldest sister..." Nangong Yue looked towards the door absentmindedly.
Everyone was surprised to realize that Nangong Yu had been standing at the door for a while.
"I...I came here to tell you that I am now the teacher of Wutong Academy."
Pu Qiongzhi looked at her and nodded, "Congratulations, aunt."
"I mean, you... you will definitely be able to get out of the haze." Nangong Yu said again.
Pu Qiongzhi looked at her awkward expression and nodded, "Thank you for your comfort, aunt."
She turned around and lit another stick of incense for Pu Rongda.
In fact, she already knew her father's death was approaching a year ago.
That is why she is so anxious to make money and expand the market in Beijing.
The Pu family's empire is about to collapse, and someone must take up the responsibility.
Pu Qiongzhi knew that her father was worried about the future of the whole family, and was even more worried about her as his daughter.
So, she was anxious to prove herself and wanted her father to stop worrying.
She did all this and grew into a reliable head of the family.
I wonder if my father will feel more at ease this way...
Pu Qiongzhi raised her head and forced back her tears.
Father, your daughter will be fine, please watch over me from heaven!
