Chapter 55 The Wife Occupation Case

five years ago.

Looking at the back of Zhou Sheng leaving, Mrs. Gu hesitated for a while and asked: "Master, have you really considered it?"

Gu Yuanwai said: "Our Gu Zhou family has always been friendly, and the two children are married. We can't regret our marriage just because the Zhou family's fortunes have fallen today. My Gu family has always advocated obedience to morality, how can I just abandon it when it's my turn. Besides, when a close friend passed away, we are also obliged to take care of his child. Zhou Ying's child is well-educated and good-looking, I think she is just right for our Yun'er."

Mrs. Gu sighed: "Alright, master, you are the one to decide."

A few days later, Gu Qingyun fulfilled the marriage contract of his father's generation, married Zhou Ying with red makeup.The Gu family didn't dislike the Zhou family's fulfillment of their marriage contract. The tortuous love between Gu Qingyun and Zhou Ying, a talented man and a beautiful woman, became a good story in Hejing County for a while.

At the beginning of the marriage, the young couple was very happy and happy. However, with Zhou Sheng's several comebacks all ended in failure, conflicts gradually arose between the young couple.

"Master..."

Seeing that his wife was hesitant to speak, Gu Qingyun, who was doing accounts, stopped the pen in his hand, and said with a smile: "You and I are husband and wife, so you may as well speak up if you have something to say."

Zhou Ying shyly said: "Brother made a deal, and originally negotiated the price with the seller, who knows that it has been raining recently, and the price of the goods has risen a lot overnight, the seller refused to sell at the original price, but the seller is waiting to ask for it." Goods. This is a business that you can make money by changing hands, and it would be a pity if you don’t do it.”

Gu Qingyun laughed and said: "It turns out that my brother-in-law has something to do. We are already relatives, so I must be busy with this job. How much money do I need?"

Zhou Ying stretched out a hand hesitantly: "Five, five taels..."

"I thought it was how much it would cost. With this little money, you and my wife have nothing to say." Gu Qingyun looked at his beautiful daughter-in-law Zhile, and immediately took five taels of silver from the brocade box on the side and handed it to Zhou. Ying, "Hurry up and send it to my brother, so that he can solve his urgent needs earlier."

"Husband, you are so kind." Zhou Ying stood on tiptoe, kissed the corner of Gu Qingyun's mouth, and ran away shyly.

Gu Qingyun touched his cheek kissed by his wife, and he didn't recover for a long time.People walked a long way before touching the place where they were kissed and giggling.

Not long after, Zhou Ying found Gu Qingyun again: "Husband, my brother wants to start a business, but he has no cash on hand. Can my husband help me out? He will return it after a while."

Didn't the last business make money? Why did you run out of cash so quickly?Although Gu Qingyun was puzzled, thinking that businessmen always have some unexpected needs, he asked: "I wonder how much brother is missing?"

Zhou Ying said: "Ten taels of silver."

Gu Qingyun asked in surprise: "What kind of business requires so much turnover?"

Zhou Ying pouted and said, "Mr. Xiang, are you worried?"

After hearing this, Gu Qingyun hurriedly said: "No, it's just that my brother doesn't know what kind of business to do, can I help you refer to it?"

"Brother is a strong person. He would rather not do business, and he doesn't want to mention it to me..." Zhou Ying covered her face and swallowed hard.

Seeing his daughter-in-law's expression like this, Gu Qingyun asked someone to take ten taels of silver from the warehouse to Zhou Ying, and explained: "It is also because of our relationship that we asked each other. Madam, don't worry, the silver is here, take it. "

"The husband is the best." Zhou Ying gave Gu Qingyun a big hug, and Gu Qingyun couldn't help but laugh.

Some time passed.

Zhou Ying stumbled into Gu Qingyun's study: "Husband, brother, the goods for this business were seized by the government at the Gyeongju Wharf due to incomplete government procedures, and I need some money to settle the relationship. My sister-in-law just gave birth to a baby, and the family It costs a lot more…”

"I told my elder brother before that we can't do business that crosses the border, and we can't take advantage of loopholes in order to save money, so as not to lose the big because of small things. Brother just doesn't listen." Gu Qingyun frowned.

"What's the use of talking about it now. If you don't go to deal with it, the cargo will be seized, and my brother will lose everything, and people will be chasing debts everywhere." Zhou Ying said urgently.

"You take this money for emergencies, but you must tell your brother that you can't do these outrageous businesses in the future." Gu Qingyun asked the accountant to fetch the money and hand it to Zhou Ying.

"Thank you, husband." Zhou Ying took the money and said as she walked out.

Gu Qingyun shook his head helplessly.

After calming down for a few days, Gu Qingyun took money from the family, holding the brocade box in the bedroom, watching that most of the money in it disappeared within a day.Feeling that the family didn't seem to have any big expenses in the past two days, he turned his head and asked his wife who was doing her makeup in front of the dressing table: "Ma'am, has there been any big expenses at home in the past few days? What happened to the money in this brocade box?" so much less?"

Zhou Ying waved the maid who was serving her to comb her hair to go out, and said after the maid went out: "Yesterday my brother came over and said that a shop in the food street was about to change hands. The location there is very good and there is a lot of traffic. Going out, or doing business by yourself, is a business that is sure to make a profit. He wanted to take it down, but his hands were a little tight, so he came to us to borrow some. You were not at home yesterday, so I decided on my own."

Gu Qingyun closed the brocade box, calmed down and said: "Madam, I have no objection to lending money to brother. But we have lent him money so many times, has he ever paid it back?"

"What does my husband mean by this? Is he afraid that my brother will not return your money? Didn't he already return the five taels of silver he borrowed earlier?" Zhou Ying felt greatly wronged.

"Okay, that's what I said was not rigorous. Apart from repaying five taels of silver intermittently, brother, how did you ever repay the money you borrowed so many times?" Gu Qingyun asked back.

Zhou Ying took out two taels of silver from his cuff and threw it to Gu Qingyun: "Brother came to me yesterday and told me that he made some silver. Although it is not much, he must return our money first."

"He returned you two taels of silver, and then took 20 taels of silver from you. He knows how to do this kind of business." Gu Qingyun looked at the two taels of silver that he subconsciously caught, and said angrily.

"Why do you treat my elder brother like this? You know, when I was ten years old, I accidentally fell into the river. If my elder brother hadn't tried to rescue me regardless of the danger, Zhou Ying... Zhou Ying would have been a water ghost in the river long ago." Zhou Ying said. Started to sob.

"..." Gu Qingyun couldn't bear to blame his wife Lihua in the rain, "Okay, this is only one time, next time if my brother comes to ask you to borrow money again, you can ask him to come to me."

I don't know how many times I have borrowed money like this in the middle.One day, Gu Qingyun wanted to go out to discuss business, so he said to the shopkeeper he hired next to him: "Shopkeeper Wu, take that money with you, we are going to discuss this business today, and there are several other employees who are also competing with us. The other party asked Money and goods must be cleared, and we must prepare the money when we go. In case the business is negotiated and there is not enough money, people will be the first to go."

Shopkeeper Wu turned his abacus around and replied, "Young Madam took away part of the money, saying it was urgently needed by the family. There is not enough cash now."

"What? When did it happen? What is the urgent need at home? Why don't I know?" Gu Qingyun became anxious when he heard it.

"It was not long before you came here. What is the urgent need at home... Here, she is the young wife and the owner, and I am a hired shopkeeper. It is not easy to ask." Shopkeeper Wu murmured.

Gu Qingyun was so angry that he turned around twice: "Hurry up, call someone to go to the bank and take out a sum of money. Let's go to the Yihe Mountain Villa to discuss business first, and let the guy who withdraws the money send the money directly to the Yihe Mountain Villa .Act quickly! Without my handwriting, you are not allowed to give money to Madam casually."

"Yes, I'll do it right away." Shopkeeper Wu hurriedly said in a daze when he saw that the usually good-tempered shopkeeper lost his temper.

Gu Qingyun can't remember how many times he quarreled with his wife because of borrowing money, but his wife always insisted on going her own way, which hurt him very much.Now that the Spring Festival is approaching again, according to the practice of taking care of the family, the monthly money and festival expenses of this month of the Spring Festival are wrapped in red silk cloth, and the boss personally distributes them to the hands of the guys to show the festive and the boss treats everyone Guy's blessing.Previously, this was all done by Gu Yuanwai, but now that Gu Yuanwai has watched his son grow up, he has become more and more responsible. This year, the matter of distributing the monthly money for the Spring Festival to the guys is left to Gu Qingyun.

Gu Qingyun asked the cashier to pay out the money in advance, and prepared to bag it the next day.

The next day, he took down a copper stove from the shelf in his study, only to find that the 50 taels of silver he had put in it yesterday had disappeared.Gu's mansion dare not say that its walls are iron and steel, but Jian's mansion has not been stolen so far.Gu Qingyun suddenly had bad thoughts in his mind.

He stepped out of the study and was about to go to the bedroom to look for his wife. When he turned around the corridor, he saw his wife returning from outside with her maid.

Gu Qingyun walked towards the gate, stopped his wife, turned away the maid, and asked as restrained as possible: "Have you ever seen the 50 taels of silver I put in the copper stove in the study?"

"Ah? What kind of money, I haven't seen it before." Zhou Ying looked dodgy, "Did you put it somewhere else? Don't ask me anything. Besides, why don't you put it in the cash drawer if you have money?"

Gu Qingyun stared at his wife: "Why don't I put the silver in the cash drawer? Don't you understand? I obviously put the silver in the copper furnace, and I never let outsiders enter my study. Maybe it has long legs and ran away?" ? That money was given to me by my father to distribute the monthly money for the Spring Festival to the shopkeepers and guys in various shops. Didn’t you see it?”

"No." Zhou Ying concealed, "How do I know what's going on?"

Gu Qingyun glanced suspiciously at Zhou Ying's dusty appearance: "Where did you go early in the morning? Did you give the money to your useless brother again?"

"What's the matter with you? Suspicious all day long? After you ordered me, I have to speak nicely to your accountant and steward for every penny. Why, now I don't even have the right to go out. Do you want to go out in the future? Do you want to report to your gatekeeper too? It’s fine for you to insult me, why are you talking about my brother? My brother is not here, so he can provoke you?” Zhou Ying fought back not to be outdone.

"I haven't lost anything since Gu Fu Jian Fu. Well, I won't talk about it. If you want to spend such a large sum of money to go out, shouldn't you tell me?"

"You are so funny. I don't know if you have lost anything since the establishment of Gu's mansion. Besides, what does it have to do with me? You came to question me when you misplaced and lost money!" Zhou Ying became more and more angry as she said, "I am Gu's mansion. The young lady of your Gu family is the one who is getting married and brought in eight palanquins. I didn't follow me in a stern manner. But how did your Gu family treat me, the future mistress? As long as I have the status of master in your family, I will It wouldn't be what it is today."

Gu Qingyun shook his head angrily: "Yes, yes, you see that you take your Gu family one by one, do you regard the Gu family as your family? Do you regard us as your family? Our Gu family does not regard you as the master, it is short Did you eat it or did you wear it? Are you not afraid of ignoring your conscience when you say this?"

"My young lady would have to speak nicely to one of your accountant's servants for a penny, what do you think? If this matter gets out, others will laugh their ass off! How dare you say that I have no conscience?" Zhou Ying sneered.

"Yun'er, what's going on. There was a lot of noise early in the morning." Mrs. Gu and Mr. Gu came over when they heard the quarrel, and said to Gu Qingyun, "Think about whether the money was put somewhere else ?”

Then he turned to Zhou Ying and said: "If you take it, just tell me, we are all a family, and it is not good to let the servants see this way because of such a small amount of money."

"Hey, for the sake of 50 taels of silver, the whole family is dispatched. Don't you think I took it? Why are you so hypocritical? It's because of you that the servant sees it, and it has nothing to do with me!" Zhou Ying sneered and said, "Did you see that your parents guard me against thieves every day, I really don't know what evil I did in my previous life to marry into your Gu family!"

"Pa——" a slap landed on Zhou Ying's face, which made Zhou Ying stunned immediately.

"You, you dare to hit me?" Zhou Ying covered her face and looked at Gu Qingyun in disbelief.

"That's all you need to say about me. How can you slander my parents who treat you like their own daughter? If my father hadn't insisted, our engagement would have broken up long ago!" Gu Qingyun was very angry.

"I can see it. Your family fulfilled the marriage contract at the beginning just to earn a good reputation in front of the world. How much benefit did your family get from this reputation? Why, now that the business has grown, you want to cross the river and tear it down, right? ? Okay, I'll go! Let's see how long your Gu family can be prosperous!" Zhou Ying turned her head and left.

"These two children, why are they arguing like this. Yun'er, hurry up and chase after them!" Mother Gu said anxiously.

Gu Qingyun's original apology was aroused by Zhou Ying's curse, and he couldn't help shouting: "Go, let her go, it's better to die outside!"
