Chapter 44 Selling the Iron and Selling the Pot to Pay Off the Mother's Debt

"Shuangmei, go make a cup of tea for the young lady." He Jinyun raised his hand and ordered.

"Yes." Shuangmei responded and went down.

Soon, she came back with tea, "Miss, please."

Xie Zhuoning fiddled with the tea leaves with the cup lid, blew away the hot steam on the water surface, took a small sip, and shook his head, enjoying it very much.

"It seems the rumors are true. The tea here is really delicious. Look at the tea leaves and the cups. They are all very exquisite. It's not like my Fenghua Pavilion, which only has coarse tea foam. Even cows won't drink it!"

Aren't you pretending to be poor so you can't pay back the things?

Look at the food, clothes and daily necessities, they are all very expensive.

He Jinyun heard the hidden meaning in her words, but did not respond.

"Sister Zhuoning, you are joking. This tea is not a good tea. It is just the tea leaves purchased by the public procurement office. If you really want to drink tea, my grandmother gave me some Yunding Chunhai a few days ago. I will ask someone to send some to you."

Xie Zhuoning said hurriedly, "No, no, no, that's the tea that grandma gave to my sister-in-law. If I take it, grandma will scold me."

After a few rounds of interaction, she finally realized that she couldn't be secretive with He Jinyun, she had to do it openly.

After taking another sip of tea, she placed the teacup on the table. "I came to see you today because I have one more thing to do. The maid in my room was careless and messed up the return register. Can you bring the one here to compare it with the other one, so that there won't be any missing items and you will suffer a loss?"

He Jinyun felt nervous.

Take out the registration booklet and see that there are only so few things. Xie Zhuoning will definitely take advantage of the situation.

But if I don't take it out and lie that it's lost, what if Xie Zhuoning doesn't even acknowledge the things he returned before?

After repeated considerations, He Jinyun still asked Shuangmei to bring the registration book over.

When she handed it to Xie Zhuoning, she looked ashamed and said, "I'm really sorry to my second uncle and sister Zhuoning. My mother-in-law made a big mistake. Although we have tried our best to make up for it, it's really beyond our ability."

"Sister Zhuo Ning, can you give us some time? Even if we have to scrape together as much as we can, we will definitely pay it back in full as agreed."

In the past, Xie Zhuoning would listen to what her sister-in-law said.

Although he didn't know why she seemed like a different person after the old lady's birthday banquet, He Jinyun still wanted to test her bottom line.

Xie Zhuoning raised his eyes and glanced at her with a half-smile.

Her sister-in-law is really full of evil tricks.

If you agree to extend the time limit, it proves that you are someone who can bargain.

Then the next time she comes, she will come up with another reason to give herself more time.

If we continue to extend this leniency, there will be no end in sight.

"Ouch!" Xie Zhuoning suddenly bumped his head against the corner of the table and complained, "What the hell is this table? It's so hard, I almost broke my hand!"

Xia Ju said concisely and concisely, "Pear flower tree."

Xie Zhuoning covered his mouth with his hands, his expression exaggerated and surprised, "Oh, is this table made of pear wood? I heard that pear wood tables and chairs are very valuable!"

Isn't it said that even if you sell everything you have, you will get it back?

These pearwood tables and chairs are obviously worth much more than scrap copper and rotten iron!

Looking at Xie Zhuoning's clumsy performance, He Jinyun didn't know what expression to make for a moment.

After all, she is the eldest daughter of the Xie family. Could it be that she doesn’t even know the pear tree?

It seems that I can't get rid of her unless I bleed some blood today.

He Jinyun had no choice but to say, "These are the only valuable things left in this room. If Sister Zhuo Ning likes them, you can move in."

"Sister-in-law, I am so embarrassed to hear you say that. If you don't know, you might think I am here to force you to pay back the money."

Xie Zhuoning pretended to be polite for a moment, then changed the subject, "But since my sister-in-law has asked for this, I can't refuse her kindness...Xia Ju, go ask Fuling to bring people in. My sister-in-law said that we should move all the things here back!"

Wait a minute...

He Jinyun felt a little dizzy after hearing this.

When did she tell them to move all the things here back?

Before she could react, Fuling rushed in with a dozen servants and started carrying out everything they saw.

Look at the formation, it's obvious that they came prepared!

He Jinyun suddenly panicked.

The things belonging to the second house that were placed in the house had been taken out on the day Prince Xuan and the prefect of Jingzhao came.

Many of the decorations in the house now were things from her wedding dowry!

"Sister Zhuo Ning!" He Jinyun hurried forward and tried to stop her.

Xie Zhuoning held her hand and spoke passionately, "Sister-in-law, you are truly a rare sister-in-law in heaven and on earth!"

"In ancient times, there was Wei Sheng hugging a pillar, Zeng Zi killing a pig, and today there is a sister-in-law who is willing to sell her pot and iron to pay off her mother's debts!"

"Seeing your noble character, any refusal on my part would be an insult to you!"

"Sister-in-law, my uncle must be so happy to have a daughter-in-law like you who is selfless and selfless! My brother must be so proud to have a daughter-in-law like you who understands the big picture! What you have done is worthy of being written into a song and passed down to future generations!"

"Everyone, keep moving. Don't let down my sister-in-law who has selflessly dedicated herself to the family!"

"It's not me...it's not..." He Jinyun wanted to explain, but under Xie Zhuoning's impassioned speech, he couldn't get a word in.

The worst thing is that Xie Zhuoning said it so loudly that these words would soon be spread out.

By then everyone would think that she asked Xie Zhuoning to move the things away just to show her filial piety and pay off her mother's debts.

Fortunately, she already knew the situation of the first wife, so she didn't dare to take out much even if she wanted to.

Just think of it as shedding some blood to get rid of Xie Zhuoning, the great plague god.

In this way, you can also gain a good reputation.

Although this is the best outcome she can think of right now, she is unwilling to accept it!

Xie Zhuoning was riding on her face and acting like a tyrant, and she had to swallow her anger?

It makes me angry just thinking about it!

His eyes flashed, and He Jinyun slightly raised the corners of his lips.

She walked to Xie Zhuoning's side and deliberately gave a bitter smile, "They say that if you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog. I'll accept it no matter what happens if I marry into the Xie family. I just envy Wanyin. I heard that her mother prepared a large box of dowry for her before she passed away. If she marries into a good family in the future, she will definitely enjoy endless happiness."

Liang's own dowry might not even amount to fifty taels, so what could she use to prepare a dowry for Xie Wanyin?

Xie Zhuoning remembered that, for safety reasons, Liang and Xie Wanyin rarely wore jewelry from the warehouse, unless they particularly liked them and couldn't help themselves.

They would sell those valuable and easy-to-handle ones, and then go to Jinxuan Pavilion to buy the latest models.

Judging from what Xie Wanyin wears on a daily basis, the amount of jewelry must be quite large.

Everything that Xiao Jinxuan and the prefect of Jingzhao collected from Jinyutang on the day they were there was recorded in the book.

Items that have been sold and repurchased with a different appearance are naturally not included in the direct repayment list.

Xie Wanyin gets the most and enjoys the best blessings. She even eats her father's flying-leaf lotus. It would be unreasonable for her not to spit some out.

But with Xie Wanyin's personality, how could he possibly take it out on his own?

He Jinyun wants to fight Xie Wanyin to the death, so she can take advantage of the opportunity!
