Chapter 59: Renting a Shop (Part 3)
Liu paused when she heard this. She had never thought about this question.
"Mom, what if Second Aunt asks you to rent the shop to her brother's family? Will you rent it?" Yuan Ziyu asked in a serious tone.
"No!" Liu shook her head and said, "If I hadn't known the Second House's intentions before, I might have rented it. After all, they are relatives, so it's hard to refuse. But now..."
Liu touched Yuan Ziyu's hair and said, "I will never rent my shop to someone who wants to kill my daughter."
"Mom!" Yuan Ziyu sensed Liu's anger and quickly threw herself into her arms: "There's no need to be angry over someone like that. It's not worth it."
"Mother is not angry!" Liu hugged Yuan Ziyu: "It's really not worth it."
"Also, mother, what if grandma also helps Second Aunt to persuade you?" Yuan Ziyu said after thinking for a while!
Liu smiled and said, "You'er, I do have my own opinions. After all, those are my dowry. Even your grandmother wouldn't force me to make decisions about my dowry."
"Well, that's good, mother. But don't take Second Aunt and the others lightly. Now that they have such thoughts, who knows what despicable tricks they will use in the future!" Yuan Ziyu felt that he still had to talk to Liu about it so that Liu would be on guard. "When Dad comes back, you should also talk to him about it, so that he won't be caught off guard and fall into harm's way again."
"You'er, what do you know?" Liu asked with a slight frown.
"It's just a precaution!" Yuan Ziyou said, "Mom, I always feel that our return might be an eyesore to the Second House."
"They're an eyesore!" Liu couldn't help but say angrily, "How dare they be so arrogant? If your grandmother wasn't here, they would be nothing more than relatives in this mansion!"
"Okay, mother, I'm just reminding you. Why do you have to be angry? It will only make yourself miserable and your loved ones sad, and your enemies happy." Yuan Ziyu hurriedly advised.
"Mother knows, and I'm not angry!" Liu took a deep breath, calmed her anger, and said, "You'er, when your father comes back, I will tell him that it's better to divide this family."
"Yeah!" Yuan Ziyu nodded quickly, rubbed Liu's arm, and said some personal words to Liu before taking Qingzhi back to Wuyou Pavilion.
Two days later, the yard behind the shop was renovated, and Manager Liu settled the selected people in the yard. Yuan Ziyu sent Qingying to Xinghua Village to bring Shi Mi and her daughter into the city and settled them in the yard. He also ordered Qingying to go to the yard every day to teach Shi Mi and others how to make various snacks.
"Second Miss, Second Miss!" The little girl Zi Luer hurried back to Wuyou Pavilion from outside: "Second Madam's sister-in-law is in the old lady's room, forcing the first lady!"
"What!" Yuan Ziyu was fiddling with the pills. After hearing Lu'er's words, he quickly washed his hands and supported Qingzhi to go to Shousong Hall.
As soon as I entered the courtyard of Shousong Hall, I heard Liu's angry voice: "Mother, I will not agree."
Then, Fan's voice was heard again: "Oh, this is really unreasonable, old lady, listen to me, we are not trying to seize the first lady's dowry shop, we are just renting it, what is there to disagree with? My sister has suffered so much injustice in your family, and you didn't ask for compensation with a shop or farm, you just asked to rent the first lady's shop, what's wrong with that? Please judge it."
"You know, that's my mother's dowry shop!" Yuan Ziyu listened to Fan's words in the yard and quickly walked into the house. "Whether to rent it out or not, and to whom, is naturally my mother's decision. Is there any room for others to interfere? You're making such a fuss, are you trying to get my grandmother to interfere with my daughter-in-law's dowry?"
At this time, Ning was not in the room. There were only Ning Chunhua's family and Liu. Yuan Ziyu stood beside Liu, supporting her and looking at Ning Chunhua's family coldly!
She thought that her second aunt wanted to get her hands on her mother's dowry shop, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon.
Thinking about it carefully, perhaps it was the fact that he was planning to open a shop that stimulated Ning.
"Oh, Second Miss Yuan, you're not right to say that!" Ever since Ning Shaobo fell head over heels for Yuan Ziyu, Fan Shi had disliked Yuan Ziyu in every way: "My sister has suffered a great injustice in your Yuan family. We agreed before that your Yuan family would compensate my sister. We are kind-hearted and don't ask you to pay much money. We just want us to have a shop in the capital to do some business, so that my sister can have some money to rely on. But your Yuan family doesn't have a shop in the capital. Since the eldest lady is the head daughter-in-law of the Yuan family, shouldn't you help share the worries? You know, the Yuan family hasn't split up yet! If you don't agree, I'm going to go outside and tell everyone about the injustice my sister has suffered in your Yuan family!"
"Have you ever seen anyone use their daughter-in-law's dowry as compensation?" Yuan Ziyu refused to budge. "Don't even think about it. Even if my mother was forced to agree, I wouldn't agree. I'd rather see who dares to take it away. If there's really no one in charge of this family, I could file a complaint with the Jingzhao Yin. I just don't know how many years I'll be imprisoned for the crime of stealing someone else's dowry."
"Second girl, you're going too far!" At this time, the elder lady spoke.
Originally, Fan was so frightened by Yuan Ziyu's words that her face turned pale, but after hearing what Madam Yuan said, she seemed to regain her confidence. She glanced at Liu and Yuan Ziyu with a proud look, with a look of determination to win.
Yuan Ziyu looked at the Elder Madam Yuan, with a dark glint in her eyes. She didn't complain much when the Elder Madam Yuan favored Yuan Zitong before, but now, Fan was forcing Liu in front of the Elder Madam Yuan, and the Elder Madam Yuan didn't say a word. However, her words that she wanted to go to Jingzhao Yin to appeal for justice drew the Elder Madam Yuan's disapproval.
At this time, Yuan Ziyu finally understood that in Madam Yuan's heart, the reputation and honor of the entire general's mansion was the most important thing. Just like before, she loved Yuan Zitong so much, but when it came to Prince Su's mansion, didn't she still punish her severely?
Suddenly, Yuan Ziyu began to understand how Liu's dowry shops had fallen into the hands of the Ning family in his previous life.
"Grandma!" Yuan Ziyu looked at Madam Yuan with a cold look in her eyes. "Excuse me, how did my granddaughter go too far?"
"Second girl!" Madam Yuan said sternly, "As the saying goes, family disgrace should not be made public. If you make our affairs known to the world, will our Yuan family still have any face? Have you ever thought about how your father and your second uncle will serve in the court? Won't their colleagues laugh at them?"
"Face!" Yuan Ziyou smiled and said, "Grandmother, I want to ask you, if I hadn't come, would you force my mother to take out her dowry shop?"
"What do you mean by taking out the dowry shop? What they are saying now is that your in-laws want to rent your mother's dowry shop!" Old Lady Yuan looked at Yuan Ziyu with dissatisfaction and said with an unexpected look on her face.
