Traveling through the starry sky just for you, I was a koi in ancient times

Wang Jinyi saw her grandmother nod, and continued,

"Right now, I've taken a fancy to Yuanfengmao on Yongning Road. We've agreed on a price, and I think it's a good deal."

Grandma said:

"The shops there are not cheap. What's the matter? Not enough money? Want to raise money? Think of grandma!

I said, you are such a little rascal, why don't you come to see me at any time, but only come when you need money."

Wang Jinyi wanted to take the responsibility, so she ran to her grandmother with a smile and hugged her arm and shook her:

"Grandma, I signed the deed, and when I was paying the tax, my mother said that this store bought it too cheaply and she was afraid there would be problems!"

Wang Jinyi tilted her head and looked at her grandmother's expression:

"I just came here, so I want to ask my grandma and grandpa about it, in case there is any business trap."

The grandmother also turned her head to look at this child who had just recovered from illness and was planning big things, and her expression of joy was hard to suppress:

"Okay, I'll ask my family and your grandfather what's in this shop?"

"Business trap."

"Where did you see that? This word is quite meaningful.

What did you just say the name of the people on Yongning Road? "

"It's a silk and satin shop called Yuanfengmao."

The grandmother looked up at her mother who had a guilty look on her face. Wang Jinyi was worried that her mother would not understand her intention of taking on so much responsibility.

Worried that my mother might tell the truth, I rushed to answer:

"It was the shop sold by Zhao Tongpan's family. They should be reliable, so I quickly paid the deposit and borrowed money from the second family to buy the shop.

I showed my mother the official deed yesterday. She said I was too impatient. I thought she was a little too cautious, so I asked my grandmother to make the decision for me.

Grandmother glanced at my mother and said seriously:

"Tell me, what's going on?"

The mother stood up from her seat. Wang Jinyi saw that her mother might not be able to bear the questioning from her grandmother.

So, pretending to be angry, she pouted and said,

"Mother, I finally picked a shop and borrowed money from my family. Even if it is a public property, I must have a share. Otherwise, I will not agree."

Seeing that her mother seemed hesitant to speak, Wang Jinyi tried her best to wink at her mother.

Knowing that the child wanted to take the responsibility for her, but she was reluctant, the mother still spoke up.

"Mother-in-law, it was because I was greedy for profit and forgot to be cautious. There is something wrong with the shop I bought. I want to discuss with you how to deal with the following matters..."

By the time my mother had finished telling me about the story from the first time someone came to the store to when she discovered the clues while checking the store today, my grandmother had already sat up straight.

He looked at his daughter-in-law and granddaughter again and said,

"Your family has been schemed against. The Zhao Tongpan family just wanted to recruit a scholar to be a witness in his case. They also deliberately sold the property at a low price, just to create momentum and gain a good reputation.

To give them a better advantage in the trial.

They said that in order to provide shelter for the victims' families, their family was willing to spend all their wealth to recover the loss. We became witnesses who spent all our wealth in this case. We were forced to testify.

If they do this, it will be even more difficult for that family to sue the officials. The judges will not want to offend both the civil and military families at once, so they will be even more hesitant!

They really made a good move, and I shouldn't have taken advantage of this!"

My grandmother quickly sent someone to the provincial school to inform my grandfather and father that something had happened at home.

As a result, my grandfather and father went straight back to the mansion with the servant who went to deliver the message.

After my grandfather and father heard the whole story, they were not as anxious as Wang Jinyi. On the contrary, my grandfather seemed to have a calm demeanor as if he had accomplished something.

The father also looked at the grandfather for a few times, and then said goodbye to the mother and daughter.

Wang Jinyi felt that her grandfather and father’s attitudes were very abnormal.

It stands to reason that when you encounter someone who uses you to oppress others, it is a trap that is set up to deceive yourself.

It was obviously a calculation.

In this lawsuit where Master Zhao Tongpan injured and killed someone, the Zhao family had to make it happen and work hard to spend money to compensate the injured family. The old shop was once sold at a low price, and the witness was a scholar like the Wang family.

But the Wang family was dragged into the case in a scam.

Who can be calm when being plotted against? But my grandfather and father looked at each other, said nothing, and then left. What does this mean?

Outside the carriage, the father was letting Qing'er sit on the carriage frame and he entered the carriage himself.

Normally, my father would walk back home with the servant Wang Bing and would not squeeze into the carriage.

Wang Jinyi hoped that her father would say something to resolve her doubts.

The mother picked up her daughter to leave more space for her husband. The father folded the coffee table between the seats and sat next to the mother, making the carriage a little more spacious.

But Wang Jinyi discovered that his father's gentle gaze was always on his mother.

I feel like I'm a light bulb with too high a wattage. I have to eat this dog food whether I want to or not.

So I just stared at my father with a smile on my face. I have to admit that my father was really different today.

"Hui Niang, how much did that shop cost?"

"My husband, one thousand five hundred taels. I..."

"Okay, I understand. Let's go home and talk about it in detail."

My father actually held my mother's hand in front of me and said with a smile,

"Don't worry, don't be afraid."

The mother's face was full of guilt and she almost burst into tears on the way. She bit her lips tightly and stopped talking.

Wang Jinyi turned around and hugged her mother.

"Don't worry, mother. Grandfather will make amends if he finds out. We won't be used by the Zhao family. Don't worry."

The father listened to his daughter and asked,

"Jin'er, you discovered it first?!"

The mother took over the topic:

“Today I took my child to see the shop, and wanted her to see it for herself.

Unexpectedly, Jin's son came out after a walk and asked to come over here quickly to tell his father and mother. "

The father asked softly:

"Jin'er, how did you find out that there was something wrong here?"

Wang Jinyi felt that he could no longer play dumb. Of course, it would not work if he told all his reasoning, so he had to compromise.

Said:

"Dad, we obviously can't afford that shop, but someone is still eager to bring it to you, and they are definitely giving you this bargain. That means there is obviously a trap or a conspiracy. I think we should let grandpa and grandma check it out."

The father gazed at his daughter meaningfully, nodded slowly, and held the mother's hand all the way.

After returning home that day, my father stayed in my mother's room in the back house.

This was the first time since moving into No. 9 Yongxing Lane that my father had stayed in the backyard doing nothing instead of studying.

When the brother came back from the private school, he saw his sister on the swing again. After meeting his parents, he played with his sister until the evening.

I was dragged by my sister to her table and asked a bunch of questions that had nothing to do with me.

Wang Jinyi discovered that practicing calligraphy was a common topic between the brother and sister, so she brought a group of people, carrying her own writing utensils, to her brother's study.

Listening to my brother reciting the text over and over again, I really wanted to give him some pointers. It was just such a short paragraph, but it drove me crazy. How come he hadn't memorized it yet?
