The evil mother-in-law does not whitewash, she only abuses her children

The second master Zheng had a good plan.

Unexpectedly, the plan was shattered before it was even implemented.

Now Jufulai's cotton cloth is selling well, and Jufulai's grain and cotton prices are very stable. The second master Zheng guessed that since Tong Huaqiong could hoard charcoal, he would definitely hoard cotton and grain like him.

As long as the prices of Jufulai’s grain and cotton do not increase, the Zheng family will not be able to sell their grain and cotton.

If the second young master Zheng could think of this, then his father, old man Zheng, could certainly think of it as well.

If Tong Huaqiong had not shown his lightning speed, Mr. Zheng would have praised his youngest son for stockpiling charcoal, cotton and food as a thoughtful act.

Now it seems that my son behaved like an idiot.

He actually put all the risks in one basket.

"Dad, you have to save me. Even if the Fifth Prince is not favored, he is still a prince. Crushing me to death is like crushing an ant." The Second Master Zheng became terrified.

There was no need for the Fifth Prince to even show up. Anyone from his mother's family could kill him, the son of a small county merchant.

Mr. Zheng propped up his head and said in a trembling voice, "That's one hundred thousand taels of silver. Where can I get it? Are you asking me to sell my shop or my land?"

The second son of Zheng knelt down with a plop and said, "Otherwise, our whole family will be in danger."

Old Master Zheng was so angry that he almost couldn't breathe, and he kicked the second young master Zheng hard.

The second son of the Zheng family sat on the ground, hating Gu Ruinian for taking advantage of the information and hating Tong Huaqiong for not playing by the rules.

screwed up!

All screwed up!

......

In order to raise money, the Zheng family urgently sold charcoal, cotton and food.

If you just sell them in individual pieces, you won’t be able to sell them at all.

The Zheng family could only hope that some big merchant would be able to buy all the charcoal, cotton and grain at once.

Tong Huaqiong, a manager of Jufulai, used to be the manager of Zheng’s shop. He was promoted by He Chao from the Zheng family.

After Jufulai opened, He Chao recruited him to Jufulai.

He learned that the Zheng family was urgently selling charcoal, cotton and food, and told Tong Huaqiong the news.

Tong Huaqiong smiled.

Lu Zhaozhao's strategy worked.

Tong Huaqiong doesn't need charcoal for the time being, but she does need cotton, and the more the better.

As for grain, Mr. Huang is in the grain business, so he definitely needs it.

The Zheng family must be selling the product so urgently because they need to make up for the losses. In this case, it is a good opportunity to bargain.

Tong Huaqiong felt no guilt at all for making things worse for the Zheng family. They clearly wanted to drink the blood of ordinary people in extremely cold weather, so they deserved to be treated this way.

So Tong Huaqiong passed the news to Lu Zhaozhao and Huang Yuanwai, and decided that the three families of Tong, Lu and Huang would divide the cotton, charcoal and grain of the Zheng family.

Neither Tong Huaqiong, Lu Zhaozhao nor Huang Yuanwai need to show up. Their respective managers can come forward to negotiate.

At the beginning, the Zheng family saw that someone was willing to take over and wanted to control the price.

The Zheng family did not ask for an exorbitant price, and the price was 10% higher than when they stocked up.

Even so, Tong Luhuang refused to give in and would not let the Zheng family bleed heavily before he was willing to take over.

The managers left immediately as requested by Tong Huaqiong and others.

The Zheng family was left out in the cold until the eve of the Spring Festival, when they finally could not bear it anymore and agreed to sell charcoal, cotton and grain according to the prices of the Tong, Lu and Huang families.

Tong Huaqiong successfully purchased 200,000 kilograms of cotton.

Lu Zhaozhao purchased 200,000 jin of charcoal, while Huang Yuanwai purchased 100,000 jin of grain.

The cotton purchased by Tong Huaqiong was used for weaving, while the Lu and Huang families directly transported charcoal and grain to the border to pave the way for Lu Zhaoyang.

......

When Tong Huaqiong rushed to Qinghewan from Pingchuan County, every household had already started making dumplings in the snow.

Another New Year's Eve is here.

There is no Gu Dashu and Su Chengmin in the family this year, but there are maids and servants such as Su Qing, Xiaoxi and Chen Pozi.

"Mom, everyone in the village said that it was thanks to you that they were able to buy the charcoal. This is the New Year's gift they sent." Chen Sufen said, holding the child in her arms, pointing to the meat and vegetable dumplings in the yard.

Tong Huaqiong took the little granddaughter Ying'er from Chen Sufen and held her in her arms.

Maner, Xiaolong, Yaozu and others surrounded them.

Tong Pandi and Hong brought Huaer Duoer to their home, and Master Su was also invited to celebrate the New Year together.

While they were having the New Year's Eve dinner, the Lu family sent someone from the capital to deliver a letter to Tong Huaqiong.

"Whose is it?" Liu Yue'e couldn't help but ask.

The person who was the most unhappy during this year was Liu Yue'e, as she was worried about Gu Dashu. She was worried that Gu Dashu had been drafted into the army, or that he had been detained by the Mobei people.

As Liu Yue'e spoke, Hong also looked at Tong Huaqiong.

Tong Huaqiong handed one of the letters to Gu Jingzhe and said, "Your second brother's letter, please read it to everyone."

Then he handed the unopened letter to Hong and said, "This is a letter from He Chao to you."

Gu Jingzhe read Gu Dashu's letter to everyone.

Gu Dashu, He Chao, Su Chengmin and others had arrived safely at the border in the twelfth lunar month.

Dasheng and Mobei have already gone to war.

After Gu Dashu finished writing about the hardships of the border during the war, he suddenly changed the topic and said that Dasheng would definitely win this battle. He also expressed that he was optimistic about the border market and wanted to do business on the border in the future.

The letter revealed that they had met Nie Xiaofeng, saying that Nie Xiaofeng was like a fish in water in the military camp, that he was good at fighting and had already become a captain. It also revealed that Su Chengmin had joined the army on the spot with Nie Xiaofeng.

Tong Huaqiong: “…”

"What's the matter, third brother? Why don't you continue reading?" When Liu Yue'e was listening with great interest, Gu Jingzhe suddenly stopped talking.

Everyone looked towards Gu Jingzhe.

Gu Jingzhe looked at Tong Huaqiong with a hint of embarrassment on his face.

"Read. Look at what I'm doing." Tong Huaqiong said.

Gu Jingzhe gritted his teeth and continued reading, stuttering as he spoke. His second brother was really something. How could he write everything in the letter?

The impatient Gu Taohua snatched the letter and said, "I'm so anxious."

Gu Taohua glanced at the letter, her eyes widened, and she couldn't suppress her excitement and said, "Oh, mother, no wonder my second brother and his men were so successful at the border. Do you know who my second brother met? The mighty general."

Tong Huaqiong searched her mind but had no idea who the mighty general was.

Xiaolong raised his head, his eyelashes trembling, and then lowered his head again.

"Which mighty general?" Tong Huaqiong asked.

Gu Taohua had a look of astonishment on her face as she read the letter: "The mighty general turned out to be my mother's childhood sweetheart, Min Hanniu."

The table fell into silence.

Tong Huaqiong was speechless.

No wonder Gu Jingzhe got stuck while reading just now.

It turned out that Gu Dashu wrote in the letter without any hesitation that Min Hanniu was his mother's childhood sweetheart.

Gu Taohua raised her head and said innocently, "I didn't say that. That's what my second brother wrote."

Liu Yue'e became excited and said, "Min Hanniu? Is he the cowherd boy who followed the rebel army in Heilongtan mentioned by the older generation? He turned out to be a mighty general? Oh my God, mother, if you don't marry your father-in-law, you will be the general's wife."

Liu Yue'e talks nonsense all the time.

Gu Jingzhe's face turned dark instantly.

Gu Dahan's mouth twitched.
