Chapter 279 The Disaster of the Rich

"Miss, I made some thin porridge. You can help your stomach first. You haven't eaten or drank anything this day. Be careful of starving yourself."

The girl in a blue skirt whispered to Ripples. She was obviously one of this little girl's maids.

"I'm not hungry, and my heart feels tight."

Lianyi lowered her eyes and whispered, sniffing.

"Miss, I know you are sad, but I have been ill for a long time, so you should take it for granted."

"I know, but I still feel sad."

After Ripple finished speaking, he wiped his eyes.

"Hey!" The girl sighed, no longer persuading the young lady to eat porridge, but instead advised the young lady to rest:

"I'll burn the paper for Miss for a while. Miss, please go to the side hall and relax for a while!"

"I'd better stay here with my father!"

Ripple shook her head slightly, showing the little girl's stubbornness.

"Miss, if you don't rest, go wash your face. Your eyes are swollen like walnuts. You have to meet guests tomorrow! I've already filled the water for you."

The girl persuaded in a gentle voice.

Finally, Ripple nodded and accepted the other party's suggestion.

The girl seemed to know that Lianyi couldn't stand up after kneeling for a long time, so she stretched out her hand to help him up. She was a head taller than Lianyi, so she helped him easily. After sending Lianyi into the side hall, she also brought the porridge and put it on the table. After persuading her to eat, he just soaked the handkerchief and handed it to Lianyi, then hurriedly returned to the mourning hall.

Lianyi wiped her face slowly, then turned around and sat down. It seemed that she was tired and rested on the back of the chair, but in fact, she had begun to receive the memory of the original owner.

The original owner was the only descendant of Wu Dacai, the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River. After his wife gave birth to the original child, she almost suffered from severe bleeding and did not survive. It was because of Wu Dacai's wealth that he rescued his wife with a 300-year-old ginseng plant.

Wu Dacai's wife, Li, was born in a big family. However, because of her family's decline, in order to maintain the dignity of the family, she had no choice but to marry Wu Dacai, a businessman, which was equivalent to being sold out by the family.

Mrs. Li had long been cold-hearted about her family. Fortunately, Wu Dacai loved her. Although the other party was a businessman, he also had some literary talent. They were married first and then fell in love. They respected each other as guests and lived a good life. If it weren't for her mother-in-law who occasionally came to visit her. People, life will be better.

Because of this childbirth, Ms. Li was physically injured and could not get pregnant again. The Li family approached Ms. Li and wanted her concubine to marry into the Wu family as a concubine so that she could give birth to a son as soon as possible so that the Wu family would not have no successors. people.

This disgusting suggestion made Mrs. Li completely break up with the Li family. She turned to Wu Dacai and cried, saying that she was willing to give up her position as the head wife and not delay his birth of a son. She asked to reconcile with him and take him with her. Go daughter.

Wu Dacai was naturally unwilling and tried to persuade the Li family. In fact, he was also a little tired of the Li family's greed. They ate so ugly and did not have the magnanimity of a wealthy family. This incident also made him sure that his wife was on his side. He was unwilling to help his mother's family plot against him.

Wu Daceng was a great businessman, and he was not a brainless person. He made a prompt decision and lied that his wife was seriously ill after childbirth. He invited many famous doctors to see her. Finally, he came to the conclusion that he needed to go out for rest and it was best to go to a place with a pleasant climate to recuperate.

With these preparations in place, Wu Dacai directly ended the business in the north. Of course, he also pretended to give several stores that seemed to be full of customers, but in fact began to decline, directly to his in-laws, saying that he would take his beloved wife to Jiangnan. recuperate.

The Li family had benefited, and the other party was doing it for his daughter. Naturally, he had no position to stop him. He could only watch Wu Dacai leave the capital and settle in the south of the Yangtze River with a pleasant climate. At this point, the mountains were high and the rivers were far away, and there was no way to come to catch the autumn wind. Can look forward to the New Year’s Eve every year.

Wu Youcai, who just went to the south, used the excuse that business was not easy to do. When he first arrived here, he was squeezed out by businessmen from Jiangnan, so the holiday gifts he gave were not as good as each year. When the Li family sent people to the south to return the gifts, they also checked the real situation and found Wu Youcai's family. I only live in a small courtyard with two entrances, and the layout of my home is quite shabby.

The Li family did not believe that Wu Youcai's family fortune would be ruined so quickly, so they urged him to return to the capital. Wu Youcai was indeed talented. He said that he had to get up wherever he fell. Unfortunately, he never got up again.

In fact, when he got his daughter Wu Lianyi and knew that his wife could not have any more children, Wu Youcai began to plan for his daughter. If he waited a hundred years later and his daughter inherited all his family wealth, then the Li family would definitely be like a shark smelling blood. He rushed up and devoured his daughter.

So after his daughter's first birthday party was held and the Li family was preparing to give him another daughter as a concubine, he had already started planning.

When they arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, Wu Youcai told his wife Li about his plan, and Li agreed very much. She didn't want her daughter to become a stepping stone for the Li family in the future, and she still had to take the wealth earned by her husband with her.

The couple teamed up to deceive the Li family. After a few years of stable life, Wu Youcai only had a rice store and a rented shop. People pay attention.

In fact, privately, all his money was used to invest and earn dividends, and he invested in the names of different people. He was considered an invisible rich man in Jiangnan.

After all, Mrs. Li was injured, and her family was worried. After a period of comfortable life, she passed away when she was nine years old. The death of his first wife also made Wu Youcai sad. The Li family seemed to have smelled something and sent someone to come. After attending the funeral, he said that he would take the original person to live in the capital for a while.

Wu Youcai burst into tears. He pulled the old servant of the Li family and cried:

"My father-in-law is trying to tear out my heart! Wanwan just left. Ripple is my only comfort at this time. How can I survive if you take her away too?"

I know you are worried that Wanwan has left and it would be bad for Rianyi if I marry someone else. I, Wu Youcai, have sworn to live by my daughter for the rest of my life. I will never marry another woman, nor will anyone bully my daughter. "

With these words, the steward was blocked back. The Li family was angry and a little unwilling. However, three years later, Wu Youcai really did not marry again and only lived with his daughter. The Li family secretly cursed the bad luck and then shifted their attention. .

However, Wu Youcai was ill at that time. Because he missed his deceased wife and had an untreated hidden injury when he was a young businessman, his health became worse and worse. In the end, he ended up in bed, leaving business matters to his subordinates to handle.

The servants were not as cautious as Wu Youcai, and they showed their flaws when doing things. Then some rumors spread, including the rumor that Wu Youcai was really rich.

At that time, Wu Youcai was already seriously ill and it was too late to stop the rumors, so he began to arrange a way out for his daughter little by little. He had to protect her no matter what.

After receiving the news, the Li family in the capital immediately arranged for people to go on the road and rushed to the Wu family in Jiangnan. As long as Wu Lianyi was grasped, the rumored large fortune would be in the Li family's pocket.

Unfortunately, they were a step too late. In the afternoon when they arrived, Wu Dacai took his last breath. The time when Ripple entered was when the original body was keeping vigil on the night of his father's death.

The Li family is evil and courageous. In order to make the Wu family rich, a group of them, led by their young master, disguised themselves as gangsters and broke into the Wu family with masks on in the middle of the night, preparing to kill people and rob them of wealth. Unfortunately, almost all of them were killed. , but no gold or silver treasure was found from the Wu family, and only five thousand taels of silver notes were found inside and outside.

See you tomorrow! Fengling's allergies have returned again!
