Chapter 1649: Earning Small Money Quietly
Yu Mo did not stay in Yangzhou for long.
After the fifth day of the New Year, he set off again.
However, no one knew that he had left a large number of people in Yangzhou, covering various channels and industries, so that they could quickly pass on to him anything he wanted to know.
In early spring in March, the grass is green and the birds are singing.
Bad news came from Suzhou that the original owner's father became ill due to overwork and no medicine could cure him.
Shi Li went back alone to attend the funeral.
After everything was over, I found that I could never go back to my parents' home again.
The original owner's mother was weak and listened to her brother and sister-in-law's arrangements. The original owner's brother and sister-in-law used to treat her just for show, but now they are the boss and treat her coldly.
Even my sister-in-law bluntly said that her dowry when she got married was too generous and it had emptied the family assets, so she must stay away from them in the future.
It was understandable for the sister-in-law to say so. However, the mother and brother standing next to her did not say a word. Shi Li knew that this was not just the sister-in-law's opinion, but that the whole family thought so.
Fortunately, she is not the original owner, so she won’t feel too bad, but she will really have no home from now on.
After returning from Suzhou, Shi Li went to meet Liu's father and mother.
Because Liu Qihan didn't even show up to attend the funeral, Liu's father gave Shi Li a shop out of guilt, which was an alternative form of consolation.
Before, no matter what Liu's father gave Shi Li, Liu's mother didn't care. But this time, when she saw Shi Li accept the shop, she seemed to be hesitant to speak.
After Shi Li left, Liu's mother couldn't help but say to Liu's father, "Even if she is wronged this time, you don't have to give her a shop, right?"
Mother Liu didn't think much of it before because she didn't have a grandson. Now that Wen Shiqing gave birth to a grandson for her, she naturally thought that everything in the Liu family belonged to her grandson.
Father Liu saw through her thoughts at a glance and said firmly again: "I will not recognize that child. I will give him a chance now! If he continues to insist on his own way, I will choose a child from the clan as my adopted son next year!"
"What did you say!" Liu's mother was furious. She never thought that Liu's father would be so cruel.
Before she had a grandson, she didn't dare to argue with Liu's father, but now it's different.
Liu Qihan's family of three lived in the suburbs. She had always felt sorry for them. Not only did Liu's father not help them, but he also wanted to hand over the family property to outsiders. How could Liu's mother tolerate this?
The way she could not bear it was to grab Liu's father's sleeve tightly and start crying and complaining, starting from the time when they were young and married, saying that Liu's father had let her down.
Father Liu was able to remain calm at first, but when he saw her words becoming increasingly harsh, his expression changed, "What do you want?"
"No matter how much you dislike Shi Qing, she has given birth to the Liu family's eldest grandson! They should be allowed to marry in! How can the eldest grandson be left alone outside forever!"
Liu's mother was so foolish that she thought she had persuaded her husband. She raised her head and confidently stated her plan, "My dear grandson cannot be a bastard! It is not an injustice to let Shiqing be his second wife!"
The one who runs away will become a concubine!
Mother Liu is actually still dreaming of making Wen Shiqing her co-wife!
Father Liu was so angry that his breath got choked in his chest.
He just mentioned the successor son, which was indeed to scare Liu's mother. He has sons and grandsons, so he would not hand over his huge property to outsiders. Otherwise, he would not have tacitly allowed Liu's mother to help Liu Qihan for more than a year.
But Wen Shiqing is absolutely not allowed to enter!
Father Liu's plan had always been to wait until Liu Qihan's novelty about Wen Shiqing wore off and he had suffered enough outside before bringing him and the child back.
When the time comes, he can ask Shi Li to take the initiative to recognize the child as his own, which will be the best of both worlds. What's more, as long as Shi Li agrees, her future dowry may be legitimately given to the Liu family.
But Liu's mother didn't understand his painstaking efforts at all and was still thinking about Wen Shiqing.
"She is not worthy of entering the Liu family's gate!" Liu's father was so angry that he started to speak without thinking.
Liu's mother was stunned, stood up suddenly, pointed at his nose and cursed -
"Who is unworthy? Who do you say is unworthy? Is it the poetry that is unworthy? Or do you think I am unworthy?"
This shrew-like behavior made Father Liu's blood boil instantly. His chest felt blocked and painful. He staggered back, then fell to the ground, unconscious.
