After the replacement marriage, I was forced to fight at home
Chapter 269: 1 victory (1)
When Mrs. Hu heard Zhou Yiheng's words, she was delighted. She took out a handkerchief and wiped her non-existent tears, saying, "It's my fault for not thinking it through. I thought that since Brother Yu's wife had just come in, I had to teach her everything one by one. I'll teach her the simplest one first. It doesn't matter if she doesn't do well. Just summarize carefully and you'll do better next time.
"When I received the letter at noon, I was really scared. Later, I calmed down and felt lucky that these three families are all close friends and relatives, and they will not leak anything. I originally thought that I could just give Brother Yu's wife a heads up, but I didn't expect that Brother Yu and his wife would not give in. Alas, from now on, I will listen to the prince and will never be soft-hearted again."
Meng Wan really wanted to applaud Hu. The Oscars owed her a little golden man.
The room was full of people watching the fun, with gloating written all over their faces. Only Zhou Yinghan looked at him with deep concern.
Meng Wan felt a little warm in her heart. From the moment Zhou Yinghan sent people to block her, she knew that this little girl had thought it through and understood the significance of her gift.
Even though it was only a little early, and even though I had already arranged a countermeasure, if I really knew nothing, the information Zhou Yinghan sent would still be of some use.
After one stick of incense had passed, Mother Hong came into the house with the matrons in charge of each courtyard, followed by a few maids, who carried in a box and placed it on the ground.
Everyone's eyes were drawn to the box, the thick bast cardboard boards were neatly stacked.
Zhou Yu stood up, walked around the box, then squatted down, picked up a bag, smelled it, and gave a meaningful smile.
Mrs. Hu felt frightened when she saw him laughing. Could this kid have come up with some bad idea?
Zhou Yu stood up and said to Zhou Zheng, "Does Third Brother have the jeweled dagger with him?"
Zhou Zheng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "I never carry that item with me when I'm at home."
"What a pity." After saying that, he put the bag of salt in his hand on the round table in the middle and patted it gently, "Look, in Meng's words, 'the moment to witness a miracle has come'."
Zhou Yu took the scissors handed to him by the little girl and cut open the seal, then opened it layer by layer until the white crystals appeared before everyone.
Meng Wan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the "salt" did not disperse as Zhou Yu opened it, but only scattered around a little while being tightly held together in the middle.
Although everyone was watching, no one came forward. Looking at the pile of white, Mrs. Hu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "How could they be so careless? If I were to see it, the person loading the truck would also be fined. As Yu Ge's wife said, it's not just one or two bags, how could they make a mistake?"
Xie Fen also joined in, "That's right. Although my second brother and sister-in-law were wrong, those servants were even more hateful. What the master said just now makes sense. After the New Year, my second brother and sister-in-law can just sell those who don't do their job well. As for the people in the warehouse who are responsible for loading the truck this time, I think it's better to sell them all and change to another batch." The latter sentence was directed to Mrs. Hu.
Mrs. Hu smiled and nodded, then looked up at Zhou Yiheng. Zhou Yiheng nodded and was about to say something, but saw Zhou Yu gently pinch the white crystal with his hands and put it into his mouth.
Everyone was shocked. "Second brother, what are you doing? Be careful not to choke." Zhou Yinghan said hurriedly while pouring tea for Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu waved his hand, then put another handful into his mouth and started eating.
When Zhou Yu ate the third handful, Zhou Yiheng took two quick steps and said, "Are you crazy? Is this the way to eat salt? Even if you want to defend your wife, it's not worth it. Forget it, forget about this matter. Let your mother go to those three families and explain. I believe no one will know about it, and no one will use this matter to make a fuss about our family. The servants in the yard don't have to sell it if they don't want to, but they must be fined."
When Mrs. Hu heard Zhou Yiheng say this, she looked up at him in surprise. In the past, Zhou Yiheng would never object to any decision made after Zhou Yu got into trouble as long as she said it. Could it be that he felt sorry for Zhou Yu today when he saw him being so stubborn?
But Mrs. Hu couldn't think any more. Zhou Yiheng had already advised her. It would be inappropriate for her not to speak up, so she stood up and said, "Brother Yu, why are you doing this? It's inevitable for the head of the family to make mistakes. Forget it, the prince has also said that it will not happen again. Brother Yu's wife, please persuade Brother Yu. What should we do if the child gets sick from eating too much?"
Meng Wan responded softly and walked to Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu pinched it with his hand and put it into Meng Wan's mouth, "Come, try it too. It tastes good."
After eating it, Meng Wan was surprised and said, "It's really sweet. It's different from the one I brought back from Curry to boil water for you last time."
Sweet? What's going on? Everyone was puzzled. Zhou Zheng seemed to have thought of something, walked up and picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. How could it be candy?
Seeing her son's stunned look, Mrs. Hu went to see Mother Hong. Mother Hong didn't understand what was going on either. It was clearly the box that the three families had sent back at noon. It had been kept in this box since it was sent back and had not been moved. It was also locked and someone was assigned to watch over it.
"This is very interesting. How did these sixty packets of salt turn into sugar?" Zhou Yu patted the sugar residue on his hands. "Come here, open all of these and see how many packets are sugar and how many are salt."
The maid in the room went to see the prince, but Mother Kong responded, took the string forward, picked up the scissors and started to unravel it.
After opening each bag, take a bite and say "sugar" until all sixty bags are opened.
Mrs. Hu's face was very ugly. How could this happen? What went wrong? It was clearly salt that was loaded onto the truck.
Mother Hong saw that Mrs. Hu was looking at her with a gloomy face, sweat dripped down her forehead, and she turned around to walk out.
"Mother Hong, what are you doing?" Zhou Yu asked coldly
"Ah? Nothing. I just wanted them to bring some refreshments."
"Princess, I think there's no need for the refreshments. Why don't you call the people in the warehouse to ask what's going on? As far as I know, the salt package and the sugar package should be different, right? Did they take the wrong one or pack it wrong?" Zhou Yu looked at Hu with a smile.
Meng Wan said angrily, "Even if they made a mistake, they couldn't have made a mistake with so many packages. The candies on the gift lists of these families didn't give so many. Mother Kong, how much are they?"
Mother Kong stepped forward and said, "We just said we sent the wrong amount to each of the three stores. Each store had three bags of sugar, but no salt."
Meng Wan and Zhou Yu exchanged glances and agreed that it was impossible to target Hu directly because she had too many excuses to deny the blame. Her goal was to cut off one of Hu's arms, which was the warehouse manager and Zhou Zheng's wet nurse.
Zhou Yu stepped forward and said, "Father, please check it out. Even if the Meng family's people really accidentally ordered the wrong things or put the wrong things in the wrong boxes, the gift list that year clearly stated everything. The three families who sent the gifts probably found something wrong before they even checked the list. There was no salt and there were only three bags of sugar, but there were so many extra bags. They didn't even open them, and they said we sent twenty bags of salt? Is this foresight?"
Zhou Yiheng looked at what had just been put into the box and found that there was indeed no sign that it had been opened.
Hu secretly hated the couple, when did they become so smart? She originally thought that she didn't need to plan carefully to deal with them, she just needed to show her attitude to scare them, and then make a final judgment while they were at a loss. It was her own carelessness.
A few days ago, my son reminded me that Zhou Yu was different from before, but I didn't take it seriously, wondering how he could be different. He was still hanging out in the red-light district, getting into trouble with those playboys, and quarreling with Meng Wan. I didn't even bother to use such means to plot against him before. I just had to take out the fake booklet and cry in front of the prince. No matter how Zhou Yu explained, the prince didn't believe it.
Oh, if I had known this would happen, I would have arranged it more carefully. Unfortunately, I put more energy into the account book, and it seems that I will suffer a loss this time.
Mrs. Hu tugged at her handkerchief indignantly and watched how the two continued talking.
