Chapter 576: Come to the Door
"If Weiwei dies, how are you going to explain this to Brother Song? Leave this matter to me. I will try to persuade the two of you."
"Then what should we do with the lost silver?" Xu Miaomiao said dissatisfiedly, "You didn't see how indifferent he looked just now. This matter was because we asked him about the swing, I'm afraid he wouldn't tell us how serious it is. Now he is really getting more and more disobedient. Besides, did you see how nonchalant she was just now? Since he said those silver taels just like that, three hundred taels of silver is enough for several families to eat and drink for many years. Since he squanders it without knowing what to do, how can I tolerate such a person until now? If I don't discipline him for this matter, I'm afraid he will be so self-indulgent in the future that he doesn't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is."
Xu Miaomiao's words were not groundless. He really hated this kind of behavior in his heart. Gu Yuanniang also knew what he meant. She looked at Xu Miaomiao and continued, "Okay, I understand that you are angry, but you care about him out of sisterly affection. Besides, although Weiwei was wrong in this matter, we as brothers and sisters are not wrong. You go back and explain this matter to Brother Song first. Then we will go to the Rouge Shop together tomorrow to see if we can get the boss to return the money he took."
Xu Miaomiao sighed, shook her sleeves, and left.
Gu Yuanniang looked in the direction of the hall, then looked at Xu Miaomiao who was leaving and sighed. These two people were as stubborn as ever, and neither of them was willing to admit their mistakes. It seemed that Song Weiwei really knew that she was wrong this time, so she acted like this. However, she didn't know if Xu Miaomiao could understand him. Thinking of this, Gu Yuanniang sighed and turned to find Xu Qingshan. They hadn't seen each other for a long time, and today was a good opportunity to talk about what had happened in the past few days.
As soon as Xu Miaomiao returned to the house, he threw the branch on the ground. Seeing him like this, Song Wushao raised his eyebrows and said, "What could possibly make you unhappy? Tell your husband and he will solve it for you."
"Your good sister." Xu Miaomiao looked at him and sighed, sitting aside and shaking her hand helplessly: "I used to think Weiwei was just a little willful, but I didn't expect that he would dare to gamble now. What kind of person is the boss of the rouge shop? Don't I know what kind of person he is? He is a slippery man. He always keeps other people's affairs in his heart. He didn't even ask me about this matter and made his own decision. It seems that I can't control him. Your good sister should be left to you."
Song Wu Shao raised his eyebrows at this: "So how much money has he been cheated out of?"
"Three hundred taels, that much money is not enough for his family to eat and drink for a year, but he squandered it like this. Has he really forgotten the hard life he had in Wangjia Village because his life has gotten better?"
Song Wu Shao raised his eyebrows when he heard this. It was indeed Xu Miaomiao who went up the mountain to hunt for food and drink for their family in Wangjia Village before. Thinking of this, Song Wu Shao blushed a little.
Looking at Xu Miaomiao, he continued, "My lady, don't be angry. At worst, I will ask someone to go and try to recover the money tomorrow. This behavior in broad daylight is illegal. If it doesn't work, I will ask someone to search your rouge shop tomorrow."
"No, the owner of the Rouge Shop is such a shrewd person. If you bring a large number of people with you, you will probably gain nothing and be outmaneuvered. Forget it, I will handle this matter myself."
After Xu Miaomiao finished speaking, she went to bed angrily. Song Wushao was still coaxing her, trying to make her smile, but Xu Miaomiao really didn't have any thoughts. She covered her head and thought that the night would pass quickly so that she could go to the owner of the rouge shop to argue with him tomorrow.
In the early morning, as soon as the shop opened, Xu Miaomiao came up immediately. The owner of the rouge shop was a man. Unlike the owners in other places, although he was a man, he loved these rouge and powder the most. Because of this, he was often ridiculed by those literati or men, saying that he was insulting the dignity of men, but he didn't care. He fiddled with the rouge in his hand and didn't compete with those people outside.
When he saw Xu Miaomiao, the man raised his eyebrows, and his funny look made people smile in their hearts. When Xu Miaomiao saw him like this, she wondered in her heart if he was planning something again.
Seeing that it was Xu Miaomiao, the man naturally spoke kindly, "Mrs. Xu, how come you have time to come to my shop? I heard that what Mrs. Xu hates most is dressing up, and she doesn't like those things like drawing eyebrows and painting eyes. You are really an honored guest today."
"Boss, why are you pretending here? Don't you know why I'm here today?"
The man raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and slowly walked to the side, fiddling with the things in his hands, and smiled at Xu Miaomiao: "I really don't know why you have been here these days. Madam Xu, why don't you tell me more clearly so that I can know clearly what happened."
Xu Miaomiao saw him and immediately said, "My little sister gave you three hundred taels of silver. Is this because of this?"
The man did not admit it when he heard this: "What are you talking about? How come I don't know which one your little sister is?"
"Don't play innocent in front of me. You did this thing perfectly, but if someone finds evidence, it won't be as simple as coming to you for a meal today. You've been running a shop on this street for a long time, so you should know me, Xu Miaomiao. If you piss me off, I'll fight you to the death. I'll make you pay for this."
When the man heard this, he raised his eyebrows as if he was frightened by Xu Miaomiao's aura. What Xu Miaomiao said was indeed true. Who on this street didn't know that this young lady Xu Miaomiao opened a shop all by herself, and it was doing very well? He had no reason to conflict with Xu Miaomiao here.
"Your little sister is the young lady named Song Weiwei. She does come to my shop often and likes these rouge and powder very much. I have given her discounts. Speaking of which, Madam Xu, I have to give her discounts every time she comes. She is a distinguished guest of our shop. How could I cheat a distinguished guest of money? Why are you accusing me of a crime here, Madam Xu?"
"You know whether you have done it or not." Xu Miaomiao looked at him with dissatisfaction and said, "My little sister stole three hundred taels from you. If it weren't for your instigation, how could she do such a thing? If you don't hand over the money, I will use my own method to do it."
