Iron Kui Extra (Ninety-Nine)

Ning Zhan got the news of Fang Jia's death one step later than Fang Hui. He was secretly relieved to hear that he was found and beaten to death by the rancher because he had an affair with the rancher's concubine.

Although the people he sent secretly contributed to the flames, Fang Jia would not have been beaten to death if he hadn't done such dirty work.

Shuangshou said: "My son, as long as Ah Qiang doesn't say anything, the uncle will never know that Fang Jia's death is related to us."

Ning Zhan said: "He did a good job in this matter, and he will be rewarded with an additional five hundred taels of silver." Fang Hui knew that Fang Jia died at his hands, and would definitely avenge him. He was not afraid of Fang Hui's revenge, but he was afraid of Ning Hai's sadness. The last time Fang Jia was exiled, his father's hair turned nearly half gray overnight. If he fought with Fang Hui again, his father was afraid that he would fall ill if he couldn't bear the blow.

Shuangshou nodded and said, "I'll do it now." Ning Zhan's private house is very rich, so there is no need to pay money from the account. Therefore, Zhong Shantong didn't know about it either.

After dealing with these matters, Ning Zhan went home. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Zeng Chenfu leaning on the soft bed.

Seeing Ning Zhan, Zeng Chenfu frowned and asked, "What's wrong, you look so bad?"

Ning Zhan said with a smile: "It's nothing, I encountered something, but it has been resolved."

Seeing Ning Zhan, Zeng Chenfu didn't want to say more, and she didn't ask. When a man wants to tell you, he will naturally say so. If you don't want to talk, it's useless to ask.

"If you are too tired, go to bed and rest first."

Ning Zhan shook his head and said no, then sat down and asked Zeng Chenfu, "Did the second sister come over today?" Zeng Chenfu didn't vomit after she became pregnant, but she was not in a good mood and was very lethargic.

Because it is the first child, the younger couple is mostly inexperienced. Seeing Zeng Chenfu like this, Ning Zhan was very worried, so he asked Ruhui to come and have a look.

Zeng Chenfu said with a smile: "It's not long since I went back. I said you are true, I just have no energy and lethargy, and there are no other obstacles. The second sister's house still has Shi Yin and Tuan Tuan to take care of, how can I always run to my mother's house. "That's what she said, but she still feels sweet when her husband cares about her so much.

Ning Zhan said with a smile: "Father is getting old, mother can't rest assured to take care of him. If mother is here, I don't have to bother my second sister."

Zeng Chenfu said: "I'm fine. Daddy's health is the most important thing. The second sister told me a lot of things to pay attention to. After talking for a long time, I asked the maid to write them down." A good memory is worse than a bad pen. She will write down important things in notes.

Ruhui was worried that Xiaotuanzi would cry if he didn't see her on the road, but he didn't expect to hear him giggling when he walked into the yard.

Walking into the room, Ruhui saw Meng Ranxi playing with Shiyin and Xiaotuanzi: "You came back so early today?"

Meng Ranxi smiled and said, "Have a half day's rest today. I heard Maisui said that you went back to your mother's house, why didn't you take Tuan Tuan with you?"

"My brother and sister were pregnant and lacked energy. Ah Zhan was worried and asked me to go and have a look. I thought it wouldn't take long anyway, so I didn't take him there." In the afternoon, the sun was poisonous, and she was afraid of exposing her child to the sun.

"Being a father for the first time is always up and down. If you have time, go over and talk to your younger siblings." When Ruhui Huai Shiyin ate and vomited, he was so worried that he couldn't eat and couldn't sleep. Therefore, he could understand Ning Zhan's feelings very well.

Ruhui smiled and said: "I told her a lot of things to pay attention to today. In fact, my brother and sister are much better than me, but she just has no energy and becomes lethargic. Unlike me, I spit out bile every time."

Meng Ranxi said, "We'll have another child when Tuanzi grows up!" First of all, there are already two children, and if there is another child, Shiyin and Tuanzi will not be able to take care of them. Second, if you have children, you cannot live a married life. Being a monk for more than a year is also uncomfortable.

Ruhui nodded.

While talking, Mai Sui said outside: "Third Grandma, Fifth Grandma is here."

Meng Ranxi was a little strange when she heard the words, "Why did the fifth sibling come to see you?" Ru Hui and Meng Guangwu's daughter-in-law, Chen Shi, had a normal relationship.

Ruhui shook her head and said she didn't know either: "When you see her, you will know."

Mrs. Chen came to Ruhui to borrow money. It's just that it's hard to say anything about it, and she didn't say anything because her face was flushed.

Seeing her hesitant to speak, Ru Hui asked, "Sister and brother, have you encountered any difficulties?" Mrs. Meng and Mrs. Meng are not flattering, but the sisters-in-law of the same generation are all good. This Chen family is gentle and amiable, and has a good temper. It's just that she is too quiet and Ruhui likes to be lively, and the two temperaments don't get along. In addition, Ruhui was jealous of Mrs. Meng San, and the two did not have a close friendship.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chen gritted her teeth and said, "Sister-in-law, can you lend me three hundred taels of silver. Don't worry, I will pay you back after a while."

"What do you borrow so much silver for?" Three hundred taels of silver is not a small amount. If you don't ask clearly, Ruhui will not borrow it. What can be saved, the original good intentions ended up causing a commotion.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chen burst into tears: "My mother has been ill for more than a year. I took her to the doctor a few days ago, and the doctor said that the disease can be cured, and it takes five Ten-year-old wild ginseng is used as medicine. I went to the pharmacy and asked, and a fifty-year-old wild ginseng costs about three hundred taels of silver, and I don’t have that much money.” She had some money, but except for the fifty-year-old wild ginseng, Ginseng also needs to catch other medicines. So, she wanted to borrow three hundred taels of silver.

Ruhui was a little surprised: "What about your brother and sister-in-law? Don't they care?"

Chen smiled wryly and said: "My sister-in-law said that the family has no money, and my brother was standing by and didn't say a word." This meant that her mother was waiting to die. It's fine if there is no hope, how can she give up now that there is hope.

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Chen said: "Sister-in-law three, I have a shop in my dowry. I'll write you an IOU first, and I can return the money to you when I sell the shop."

Ruhui asked: "You sold the dowry shop in order to save your mother, you are not afraid that the third aunt will find out and tear you up."

When the two families talked about their marriage, Chen's father was a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, a fourth-rank official. However, the officials of the Imperial Academy are relatively poor. Fortunately, Chen's parents have only one son and one daughter, and the burden is not heavy, and they have accumulated some money. So when Mrs. Chen got married, she gave her a shop and two hundred acres of fertile land as dowry. However, Chen's father died of illness three years ago, and her elder brother was a childless person, so the family's situation deteriorated year after year.

Chen said with a wry smile: "To save my mother, I can't take care of so much."

Ruhui thought for a while and said: "Sister and sister, I have to discuss this matter with Shiyin's father, and I will reply to you tomorrow."

Chen was a little disappointed, but Ruhui didn't say no, which showed that there was still hope.

Seeing Ruhui walk in, Meng Ranxi asked, "What did my brother and sister tell you? Why did I hear crying?"

After briefly explaining the matter, Ruhui asked: "Sister-in-law, do you think this money should be borrowed or not? If you borrow it, you must not let her sell the shop to pay it back. If you don't borrow it, it is a matter of life and death after all."

Meng Ranxi was wrong when she heard this: "How could it be possible that Sanfang can't even get three hundred taels of silver?"

With a sneer, Ruhui said, "Do you think the third aunt will use the money to ask her younger siblings to treat her mother?" Needless to ask, Mrs. Chen must have hit a wall with Mrs. Meng San.

Meng Ranxi said, "Does Fifth Brother know about this?"

Ruhui shook her head and said, "I didn't ask about this. But I guess I should know about it?" After all, this is not a trivial matter, and I should tell Meng Guangwu.

Meng Ranxi sighed and said, "Borrow it! My brother and sister must have no choice, or else they wouldn't have found you."

Ruhui called Maisui and asked her to go out for a while. The ear of wheat didn't come back until it was dark.

Not long after breakfast the next day, Mrs. Chen came over. There is no way, except for Ruhui, no one else in the family can borrow that much money. The elders who could lend money would not give it to her.

Ruhui asked Maisui to hand Chen a small box, which contained a whole ginseng.

Chen was shocked: "Sister-in-law three..."

"This is 50-year-old wild ginseng. I brought it from my mother's shop. You can return the cost of one hundred and eighty taels of silver." Received. However, they did not open a medicinal material shop, and these medicinal materials were sold to pharmacies after they were purchased.

After a pause, Ruhui said, "If you go to the drugstore to buy this ginseng, it will cost about three hundred taels of silver, and the quality is not so good." It is impossible for her to give this ginseng to Mrs. Chen. The family has a large population and no separation. This time I gave it to Mrs. Chen, and the others also reached out to ask what to do.

Chen was very moved: "Sister-in-law, thank you."

Ruhui said: "I'll advance the money to you first, and I'll lend you another one hundred and twenty taels of silver. Don't sell the shop, I don't need the money right now, you can pay me back when you have money!"

Chen shi shed tears: "Third sister-in-law, thank you very much."

Seeing that Mrs. Chen wanted to write an IOU, Ruhui said, "No need, I can trust my siblings." If Ms. Chen does not pay back the money when she has money in the future, it can be regarded as a lesson for spending three hundred taels of silver.

After Mrs. Chen left, Ru Hui and Mai Sui said, "I've given in to her after picking this far." This she, of course, refers to Mrs. Meng San.

However, Mai Sui said: "Speaking of which, Fifth Grandma's brother and sister-in-law are nothing!" She didn't believe that the Chen family didn't even give out three to five hundred taels of silver, but they didn't want to spend the money on the old man.

Ruhui said: "So, when choosing a daughter-in-law, you must keep your eyes open. If you choose a daughter-in-law like the fifth sibling and sister-in-law, you will directly kill yourself."

If the money was borrowed, Ruhui felt that she would not be able to get it back in three to five years. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Chen would pay her back the money five days later.

Looking at the three golden ingots, Ruhui was surprised and said, "Sister and sister, have you sold the shop?"

Mrs. Chen shook her head and said: "No. It was Mr. Xiang who sold the Duan inkstone in his collection." The Duan inkstone was accidentally seen by Meng Guangwu in his small shop. The store didn't know the goods, and sold a high-quality antique Duan inkstone as an ordinary inkstone. Meng Guangwu only spent two taels of silver.

"Don't let Third Aunt know about this." If not, the Chen family will definitely have nothing to eat.

Mrs. Chen nodded and said, "I know. Third sister-in-law, thank you so much this time!"

Ruhui smiled and said, "I didn't do anything. The fifth younger brother is usually quiet, but I didn't expect him to be considerate." He told him that he was willing to sell his beloved inkstone for the Chen family, and asked Ruhui to change his mind. .

Chen said: "My husband has always been very kind to me."
