Chapter 4 The person who faked his death shows up!
Boss Zhang found it very strange. The shop was doing well and making a lot of profit. Why would the businessman not make money?
Li Qingwan said calmly, "I received news that bandits often appear there. I will pass by there recently. If I don't close it first, won't all the silk fabrics be robbed by them? These shops are my dowry. How can I bear to see them suffer losses?"
"Madam, you mean..."
"Don't talk nonsense, just turn it off. It won't be too late to turn it on again when the bandits leave."
Boss Zhang understood and immediately praised her, "Madam is really far-sighted and well-informed. I will make arrangements right away. What a coincidence, a batch of precious silk will be sent there this afternoon, so that's also..."
"Sell out of stock immediately. There's no need to send to a closed shop. Remember, don't let anyone in the Sima family know about this. Do you understand?"
This made Boss Zhang confused, "Madam, even your mother-in-law is not allowed?"
"No, these shops are my dowry. I can do whatever I want with them. It has nothing to do with the Sima family. If they ask, just say everything is fine. Do you understand?"
"Madam, you seem to have changed..."
"Stop talking nonsense and do it!"
Here, after Boss Zhang left, Old Madam Sima also came back from visiting her grandson. Her grandson's fever had subsided, which made her feel relieved.
But she was very surprised to see Boss Zhang coming to Sima's house. What was he doing here?
The maid was also surprised. "Madam, it's Mr. Zhang who is in charge of the Hexi shop. Why is he here?"
The actual boss of the Hexi shop is actually her son. Of course, Qingwan doesn't know this. For more than a year, she has been hiding the fact that her son is not dead from his wife. Her son didn't like Li Qingwan. If their family didn't need Li Qingwan's identity to get out of the predicament, he would not have agreed to let her marry him.
Now, all their family’s properties are the dowry brought by Li Qingwan, and the Sima family cannot do without Li Qingwan.
Therefore, the whole family cooperated with their son to come up with a plan to let him fake his death. But now Boss Zhang, who is in charge of the Hexi business, has also come, which makes her inexplicably uneasy and guilty.
Could it be that Li Qingwan noticed something?
"Chunhua, why did you go and find out why Qingwan was looking for Boss Zhang?"
After Chunhua left, Madam Sima personally brought some brown sugar water to Li Qingwan's room and said, "Qingwan, it's mother, open the door quickly."
Li Qingwan was sorting out the account books, but when she heard the old woman's voice, she immediately put them away and lay down on the bed.
In her previous life, in order to expand the Sima family's silk business, she slept later than a dog and got up earlier than a chicken every day. She had gray hair when she was only in her thirties, and she looked old and overworked. Now look at herself, she is only sixteen years old, in the prime of her life, with fair skin, beautiful face and long legs.
What a wonderful sixteen years old! She wants to live for herself in this life.
"Come in!"
She was so sick that she couldn't even call out "mother".
With a sound of "Ya Ya", Madam Sima pushed the door open and came in. Seeing that she was resting, she immediately walked in and asked, "Why are you here? Why isn't the maid Zi'er here to serve you?"
"I asked her to do something. Why are you here?"
"Mom is worried about your health, so she went to the kitchen to make some brown sugar donkey-hide gelatin. Drink it quickly, and the pain will go away."
Seeing the bowl of dark brown sugar water, she felt it was ironic. In her previous life, she would have burst into tears of gratitude and given them her heart, but she would not do that now.
"No need, my old illness will be cured after lying down for a while, how is Run'er?"
"He's better now. Mother has already asked the doctor to treat him, and he has already taken the elixir. But I haven't given you the silver yet. I'm waiting for the money from selling the house to help him out in an emergency."
Hearing this, Li Qingwan's eyes flashed with calculation, but she deliberately said, "It's all my fault that I'm weak. I just happened to have a stomachache when I was selling the house. When I feel better, I will ask Boss Li to come out to discuss the sale of the house. As for the spiritual medicine, why don't you pay for it first, and I will give it to you after I sell the house?"
"Let me go first?"
The old lady was a little unhappy, "Qingwan, the Sima family has been emptied out. If it weren't for you supporting us, we would..."
"I think the bracelet on your hand is worth some silver. Why don't you sell it and use it to treat the child first? I'm worried that the doctor won't see the money and won't give Run'er proper treatment. He is still young and can't bear such suffering. I will make up the money as soon as I sell the house."
"This……"
She hurriedly began to talk, "Mom, we are all family, my money is also your money, it doesn't matter who gives it first, right?"
Mrs. Sima thought about it and it made sense. After all, her grandson was her biological son, but she was reluctant to sell the bracelet. It was a token of love given to her by her master. It would be a shame if she sold it.
Li Qingwan seemed to guess that the old woman didn't want to agree, so she continued, "Mother, you know what kind of person Doctor Wang is. If you give him credit, he won't treat Run'er properly, and the child will suffer in the end."
"This……"
Sure enough, she used the child as a bargaining chip, and Madam Sima had no reason to refuse.
Madam Sima stood up quickly. "Forget it, let's do as you say. But you have to give the money to me after selling the house, and I have to redeem the bracelet. This is a token of love your father gave me, and you must not sell it!"
"Do not worry."
After the deal was settled, Madam Sima finally breathed a sigh of relief. "If you feel better, go see Run'er. The child is calling her mother."
Li Qingwan agreed, "I'll go see him after I get some sleep, you go sell the bracelets."
Old Madam Sima was tricked by Li Qingwan into selling bracelets, and after she left, Li Qingwan slowly sat up and looked coldly at her departing back, "Old woman, the show has just begun."
She suddenly felt very tired, and it was two days before she woke up.
"Ma'am, you can't sleep anymore."
Zi'er's anxious voice came from outside. When Li Qingwan woke up, she felt that she had slept well and was refreshed. She had never slept so comfortably in her life.
She yawned and slowly stood up. Without the anxiety and work of her previous life, she lived a comfortable life.
As for her hatred...
It’s time to report it!
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
Zi'er came in hurriedly, extremely anxious, "Madam, I have something to tell you, please don't get excited, the eldest master is not dead, there is a delicate little nun with him, and now she is going to the main hall to pay respect to you, Madam!"
It was learned that Sima Yue could no longer sit still and returned. It seemed that once the Hexi shop was closed and his source of income was cut off, he would not be able to survive, so he returned to his mother in shame.
"came back?"
