388. Chapter 388 Routine Son-in-law


"God is watching, do you dare to swear on Chunwang that you didn't encourage the kidnapper to abduct my four children?"

Tong Huaqiong stared at Mrs. Luo.

Taking Chunwang's oath, Mrs. Luo was suddenly discouraged.

She didn't dare to swear on her grandson, she couldn't even think about it.

Mrs. Luo lay on the ground and closed her eyes, pretending to be dead.

Anyway, Tong Huaqiong was just speculating, and she had no evidence.

As long as the government does not convict her, no one can lynch her.

"I'm warning you, Granny Luo, if you dare to take any chances with anyone in my family again, I will make you look good." Tong Huaqiong stepped on Granny Luo hard.

Chunwang hid behind the tree, looking at his grandmother's embarrassed appearance at Tong Huaqiong's feet and not daring to move forward.

Now everyone in the village knew that the four children of the Gu family were missing because of the collusion between Mrs. Luo and the kidnapper.

There is a tacit consensus among the villagers that no matter how much the adults do not deal with it, they will not deal with the other party's descendants.

Therefore, this incident touched the bottom line of the villagers. Who doesn't have children? If someone starts this, their descendants will be able to ensure that their bloodline will not be cut off in the future.

Tong Huaqiong let go of her feet, and Mrs. Luo walked home in dejection amidst everyone's accusations.

I didn't dare to go out for several days.

At the end of the first lunar month, Mr. Lu brought Lu Zhaoyang and others to Tong Huaqiong's house to discuss the marriage between the Huang and Lu families.

For the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Mr. Lu felt very guilty about the loss of a child at the Gu family, and gave Lu Zhaoyang a few sticks for the first time in his life.

If the kidnapper hadn't been blamed, Mr. Lu would have asked Lu Zhaoyang to come to Qinghe Bay to plead guilty.

The marriage of Lu Zhaoyang and Huang Jingshan is scheduled for February 18th.

After they get married, Huang Jingshan and Lu Zhaoyang will set off to Shengjing to take the exam.

Of course, the Huang family couldn't bear to part with their daughter, but they thought that Huang Jingshan didn't have to worry about her parents-in-law's affairs, since she would be the hostess of the Lu family.

Shengjing also has the Lu family's house, so you don't have to worry about living problems when you arrive in the capital.

Besides, in this era where husbands are valued and wives are honored, Huang Jingshan and Lu Zhaoyang going to Beijing is the choice that everyone is happy to see.

This time Mr. Lu went to Qinghe Bay and brought Tong Huaqiong a thousand taels of silver.

Tong Huaqiong exclaimed that the profits of the Maritime Silk Road were too high. She only invested less than 500 taels of capital at that time, but she actually doubled her gains.

Of course, the sea is treacherous and you may not always be able to make money every time.

Merchant ships are easy to build, but the route is not easy. It is said that some merchants were confident enough to build a big ship and go to sea. However, when it encountered a reef, the whole ship sank, and they never dared to go to sea again.

Just because the route is difficult and the risk is high, you can earn more at one time.

Otherwise, Mr. Lu is the most popular businessman in Ningcheng, and anyone who wants to go to sea will come to his dock.

In previous years, Mr. Lu's merchant ship would return before the year before and set off in February after the new year.

This time the merchant ship did not return until the first month of the year, so Mr. Lu planned to prepare for the next merchant ship after his grandson's wedding.

Tong Huaqiong naturally got another opportunity to invest. This time she took Gu Baishuang along with her.

Originally, Nie Mingyuan was not satisfied with handing over the money to his mother-in-law to participate in the shares in her name. His ideal situation was to hope that the Nie family would establish a relationship with the Lu family and purchase shares in his name, Nie Mingyuan, without getting involved with his mother-in-law.

And in Nie Mingyuan's vision, investing alone is far from satisfying his appetite.

What he wants is to gain Mr. Lu's trust and approval step by step. After making profits, he can charter a ship and go to sea with Mr. Lu's route.

Mr. Lu will grow old and take a back seat sooner or later. According to his understanding, the only male grandson of the Lu family, Lu Zhaoyang, no longer wants to be a businessman but will go to Beijing to take the exam and pursue an official career. In the future, he will replace the Lu family and become the number one maritime merchant in Ningcheng.

If Lu Zhaoyang wants the Lu family's merchant ships to continue to make money, he must protect him as an official.

But Tong Huaqiong, the cheap mother-in-law, was very slippery. No matter how he came to visit, Tong Huaqiong would not let go. She had already spent a lot of effort to ask Mr. Lu if he would like her to participate in the shares, and it was absolutely impossible for him to accept the Nie family's independent investment.

"It's not like you don't know about my stepmother. She has always been like this. She is so eager to buy shares in the Lu family alone. She is afraid that you will step on her to make money and forget about her. This time we will First buy shares in her name and give her 30% of the money you make. She will naturally relent when she sees the money.”

"We can't be a fat man in one go, we can do it step by step. Besides, even if we can invest alone now, Mr. Lu still doesn't do it for the sake of his mother-in-law, and he doesn't really trust us. What we want is to make the Lu family completely trust us with the help of his mother-in-law. We are not doing this business, there will be many opportunities in the future.”

Nie Mingyuan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He had no choice but to resist the temptation of Nanyang's huge profits. With Gu Baishuang's persuasion, he finally accepted to take the money and become a shareholder with his mother-in-law Tong Huaqiong.

When the spring breeze in February was like scissors, Gu Baishuang sent the money invested by Nie Mingyuan to Qinghe Bay.

Not only did he have silver, Nie Mingyuan also ordered a batch of porcelain.

With Nie Mingyuan's familiarity and vision for porcelain, Tong Huaqiong believed that this batch of porcelain could make a lot of money.

Gu Baishuang and Tong Huaqiong looked at each other and smiled. They knew each other well. Nie Mingyuan was on her and Gu Baishuang's boat. Once they thought about it, it would not be that easy.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Man'er's children were abducted, which further strengthened Gu Baishuang's determination to control the Nie family's money business.

If it hadn't been for that incident, she wouldn't have fully understood the thoughts of her two stepsons and two daughters-in-law.

It turns out that in their hearts, Gu Baishuang has always been a predator.

The two stepsons even suspected that the reason why the kidnapper was extorting money from the Nie family was because Gu Baishuang and the kidnapper staged a big show together, in order to put the Nie family's money into their own pockets.

The two stepsons didn't know what they said to Nie Mingyuan, but Nie Mingyuan also had doubts about this matter.

Gu Baishuang was heartbroken.

Once the heart is cold, the heart hardens.

"This is an agreement to become a shareholder."

Tong Huaqiong gave Gu Baishuang a black and white contract, but Gu Baishuang was illiterate. Tong Huaqiong invited Su Fuzi, who had recently gone to Qinghe Bay to take a break, to explain the contents of the agreement to Gu Baishuang.

Gu Baishuang was startled and looked quite uncomfortable. The first thing she thought about was whether she had done something to make her stepmother distrust her. Otherwise, she really didn't understand why her stepmother asked her to sign an agreement.

Tong Huaqiong saw Gu Baishuang's thoughts and said: "Don't worry too much. When doing business, one is one and two is two. The accounts between brothers and mother and son must be settled clearly. Let alone you, it's Dashu Yue'e who does it for me. I also signed a dividend agreement for them. It's yours. See if there's anything wrong with it. If not, just press your fingerprints. We agreed that if we make money on this trip, we'll give it 30-70 points. If we lose the money and goods that Nie Mingyuan paid, he'll be unlucky anyway. Will pay.”

After hearing Tong Huaqiong's analysis, Gu Baishuang knew that her stepmother was not targeting her, so she asked Su Fuzi to interpret it.

After Su Fuzi finished the interpretation, Gu Baishuang expressed that there was no doubt. Under the witness of Su Fuzi, Gu Baishuang pressed the fingerprint.

The moment she pressed the fingerprint, Gu Baishuang's eyes became wet.

This was the first time she had been treated so seriously. (End of chapter)
