Chapter 1636: Earning Small Money Quietly
When Liu's mother heard this, she suddenly dropped her sleeves and looked at Liu's father.
"What about Shiqing? What do you want to do with Shiqing?" She had already heard that Father Liu didn't want Wen Shiqing to come in at all.
Father Liu's expression became a little cold, and he turned his head away from his wife. "When she gives birth, I'll give her more dowry and marry her off to a family far away."
Wen Shiqing's current actions have reached a point that Liu's father cannot tolerate, and there is absolutely no way he will let her in.
Liu's mother had lived with him for decades, and this was the first time she saw him so heartless. She was stunned and even forgot to cry.
"And that unfilial son, you are not allowed to visit him either. Let him reflect on himself these days. When he figures things out, then you can release him."
After Mr. Liu finished speaking, he stood up and was about to leave, but his mother grabbed the corner of his clothes.
"Shiqing...Shiqing is my only relative..." Liu's mother's voice trembled and she choked as she spoke.
But after this night, Liu's father was determined to put an end to this matter. He looked at Liu's mother's face and asked in a calm voice: "Who is more important, the son or the niece?"
The sharp question stumped Liu's mother.
Her hand slipped from the corner of Liu's father's clothes, and her whole body seemed to be crushed.
Father Liu shook his head helplessly, "Think about it carefully. The Liu family has such a large business, and it will rely on Qi Han to support it in the future. If he continues to be so useless, what will we do in the future?"
After saying this, Liu's father also left the main room.
Shi Li returned to her room and had some snacks brought back for her to eat, filling her hungry stomach.
She waited patiently for a while, and sure enough, the housekeeper brought the title deed and house deeds of the rouge shop.
"Young Madam, the master said that these two shops will be handed over to you from now on." The butler handed the things over respectfully and smiled very kindly.
Shi Li thanked him with a smile, and after the butler left, she took her maid to inspect her new kingdom without saying a word.
It must be said that Liu's father was very generous.
The two rouge shops were both located in the most prosperous area of West Street. There was a constant stream of ladies coming in and out, and one could tell at a glance that their business was booming.
Before Shi Li walked in, a smile had already appeared on the corners of her mouth.
In this era, everything is fake, as long as the silver is real.
The owner of the rouge shop had also received the news long ago. He treated Shi Li with great respect and did not neglect her just because she was young. He dutifully introduced the shop's business situation and even took out the best rouge he had bought recently and introduced it to Shi Li in detail.
The shop was making a lot of money, and Shi Li was happy to hear that. He had a deep conversation with the shopkeeper, and finally walked out of the shop with great satisfaction.
Not far from here is the dried fruit shop that she brought as a dowry. Since she was already here, Shi Li might as well go over there.
Before entering the door, I saw the shopkeeper called a waiter to his side, and while talking to him, he shook his head and sighed, as if he was very dissatisfied.
"The boss is here." Seeing Shi Li, the shopkeeper glared at the waiter and hurried over to greet him in person.
Shi Li nodded to him and asked curiously, "What happened to that guy?"
"It's nothing, he's just a little dull, far inferior to Yu Mo." The shopkeeper felt a little embarrassed, but still told the truth in front of Shi Li.
Shi Li couldn't help but glance at the guy.
In fact, we can't blame the waiter for being dull. It's just that Yu Mo is too outstanding. The shopkeeper has high standards for him, so he looks down on other waiters.
"Teach slowly, and you will eventually learn it well." Shi Li smiled and shook her head, and chatted with the shopkeeper about the recent business in the shop.
The shopkeeper answered every detail, but mentioned Yu Mo several times, which made Shi Li couldn't help laughing several times.
Finally, the shopkeeper couldn't hold it in any longer and said, rubbing his head, "Don't blame me for being nagging, Boss. Yu Mo is really smart and efficient. Sometimes I feel inferior to him."
Last time, Yu Mo was able to help her escape the bandits' encirclement and go for reinforcements. Shi Li naturally knew that he was capable, but the more this happened, the more they could not hinder his development and could only feel regretful.
After going out, when Shi Li returned to Liu's house, it was almost dusk.
As soon as I passed through the second gate, a little maid came up to me and whispered, "The cousin from the west wing is standing outside the courtyard waiting to see the young lady."
