The daughter of the first wife grew up in the countryside and was extremely powerful

When Meng Fanchu heard this, he knew that his second uncle had already found out everything for him and let him make the choice.

Coincidentally, these two shops were bought by Meng Hewan in the previous life, but not now.

I didn't expect that I would run into him in this life. It was really an unexpected success.

Meng Fanchu said without hesitation: "I want both."

After all, he had one thousand taels of gold in his hand, so he could speak with confidence.

Gu Huaijin frowned and looked at her: "It's not a small price to buy both shops. If you want to start a rouge and powder business, the smaller shop will be enough. There's no need to go for a bigger one."

"Uncle, I have some money for now, and don't worry, I won't do anything rash."

The man looked at the girl's determined expression, which seemed to make him sure of winning. He thought that she had already made up her mind. If that was the case, he would wait and see.

"Just take care of yourself. If you have any difficulties, come to me. You need some new faces around you who can be used. Please sit here for a while. I asked Liuyun to bring some people over. They are my grandfather's former subordinates. They are just injured and can no longer continue to fight in the battlefield, but they are all useful."

Gu Huaijin knew that what Meng Fanchu lacked most now was people, so he had prepared people in advance.

"There is another housekeeper. He is the son of the old housekeeper of our Zu family. Although he is young, he is very capable in business and accounting. He is a son of our family, so you can trust him. He will be by your side and will definitely help you."

He originally wanted to employ such a talent himself, but his niece had just returned and was eager to make a name for herself, so she naturally needed capable people to help her. He had no choice but to let her go.

"Thank you, Second Uncle. Don't worry, I will definitely not let you down."

Meng Fanchu's eyes sparkled. She knew that her second uncle would definitely arrange everything. She was short of people around her and was racking her brains two days ago about where to find someone who could be used. She didn't expect that he would come immediately. Otherwise, her second uncle would be so amazing!

Gu Huaijin looked at the little girl's admiring eyes with amusement, and his heart softened a little. He asked someone to bring the prepared people over.

Taking this opportunity, Meng Fanchu followed the maid to the backyard to visit his second aunt.

Because of physical fatigue, Li Nanyiyi has not had a good rest or a good meal for several days. The things she used to like now make her want to vomit. She has always been used to enduring it, and she dare not tell the truth for fear that her husband will worry.

When Meng Fanchu entered, he saw Li Nanyiyi sewing clothes. However, in just a few days, she had become much more haggard, with a pale face and the blue under her eyes could not be concealed.

"Second aunt." Meng Fanchu called softly, afraid of disturbing the woman.

Li Nanyi looked up and saw a young woman with features somewhat similar to her husband's. A gentle smile immediately appeared on her face. "Chu'er, why are you here now? Come and sit over here, or you'll catch a cold."

Then she called to the little maid who was dozing off, "Luya, go and bring the ginseng soup that's been stewed on the stove so Chu'er can warm herself up."

Li gave the order but heard no response. Meng Fanchu looked over and saw a maid in green clothes leaning against a cushion and dozing off on a low stool next to the warm room at the door. She had just opened her eyes and looked a little impatient at being disturbed.

How can she be a maid? She dares to show disrespect to her master.

Now it seems that there are some loopholes in this mansion. Otherwise, why did Li fall and miscarry for no reason in the previous life?

"Second aunt, why are you still keeping such a rude little maidservant by your side? It seems that she is still dissatisfied with you. It would be better to sell her off as soon as possible."

Meng Fanchu looked at the twisting figure and turned to Li Nanyiyi and said.

Li Nanyi smiled helplessly: "This maid was sent here by my mother-in-law. She's just a little lazy, but she doesn't have any bad intentions."

She was originally a woman of the world, and her husband had been criticized for a long time for moving out with her when they got married.

Many of the maids in this house were sent here by her mother-in-law to take care of her and her husband. The others are all fine, but this Lu Ya is a little arrogant and...

As if he had thought of something, Li Nanyiyi's face looked a little ugly, but because Meng Fanchu was there, he didn't say much.

"My second uncle said you haven't been feeling well lately. Chu'er happens to know some basic medical skills, so he asked me to come and take a look."

Meng Fanchu naturally saw that Li was embarrassed to speak, so he did not continue to ask questions, but changed the subject.

Just as she finished speaking, there was a bang, and the door was roughly pushed open. A gust of cold wind blew in, instantly destroying the warmth in the room. Lv Ya, who had just left, came in with a half-empty bowl of chicken soup. She walked straight to the table without any courtesy and said impatiently, "Madam, the chicken soup is here."

Li Nanyiyi frowned and wanted to explode, but in the end he stammered and said nothing.

Meng Fanchu sighed in his heart. He didn't expect that the female hero who had traveled all over the world was confined to this small world and was so tolerant.

A "pop" sound scared Lv Ya who was about to leave and Li Nanyi who was silent.

"Qiutang, you arrogant maid, drag me outside and give me twenty slaps in the face, and make me kneel on the steps for two hours."

No matter who sent this person, it was definitely not for her to bully Li Nanyiyi.

My grandmother has always been a sentimental person, and she would definitely not send anyone to deliberately waste Li Nanyiyi's time just because she was dissatisfied with my second uncle's marriage.

Meng Fanchu's face was cold, and he looked at the other maids serving in the room: "Is this how you all serve your master? Who gave you the courage to treat the Second Madam of the General's Mansion so lightly?"

Although Qiutang was not tall, he was very strong. When he heard his mistress's order, he walked up to her, grabbed Luya's hair, and started to slap her left and right.

Lu Ya has always been domineering in Li's place. She claims that she was sent by the old lady and is quite pretty. She usually doesn't care about Li and looks down on her. She seizes every opportunity to show her courtesy to the second master.

Li never dared to do anything to herself, and she had to swallow any complaints she had. Unfortunately, the second master was not interested in women. Except for Li Nanyiyi, he was not insincere towards other women, so she didn't find the opportunity.

But she believed that one day she would be able to attract the Second Master and become his master.

I didn't expect that this strange lady who came today would actually attack me directly. She must not know my identity.

Lv Ya, whose hair was grabbed, screamed in shock: "Why are you hitting me? I was sent here by the old lady. How dare you? You can't..."

Meng Fanchu sneered after hearing this, without a trace of fear in his eyes. "Grandmother sent you here just to bully the master like this? Fine, you don't have to stay with your aunt anymore. After you've been punished, come back to the General's Mansion with me and ask Grandmother if it was her order. Qiutang, do it."
