Chapter 158 Disposal of Pomegranate
When Bai knew the whole story, she felt her face heat up. She felt ashamed in front of Ma Xingteng and knelt down in panic. "Husband, it's all my fault. It's because of my incompetence in discipline. I will punish Pomegranate well. I will never do this." There will be a second time.”
Ma Xingteng pursed his lips tightly, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he looked at the Bai family, with a hint of complexity in his expression, "Madam, honestly speaking, can we get help from the Bai family in the future?"
Bai's face was pale, her eyes widened, and her lips moved, "Why do you say this, husband?"
Ma Xingteng smiled bitterly, "Before, I had always naively thought that marrying a woman from a high family would lead to a successful career. Even if I lost my biological mother and still had a stepmother who was eyeing me, it wouldn't matter. Anyway, I still have a capable family-in-law.
But now it seems that I am too naive. Although my father-in-law loves you, his love is extremely limited. If one day there is a conflict between the madam and the direct line of the Bai family, the father-in-law will definitely abandon the madam.
From the time I accompanied you Guining, I can feel that your aunt and eldest brother do not take us seriously. If I still focus on pleasing them, I am afraid I will end up in a mess. "
"Husband! What do you want?" Bai was so panicked that she almost cried.
Ma Xingteng pulled her up and looked at Pomegranate with sharp eyes, "You can't take a slave who betrays your master, no matter what her reasons are! If Shen Yi hadn't spoken out in front of me today, I'm afraid we would still be kept in the dark.
He, Bai Feng, can now use your maid to help you arrange for his woman, and someday he can use your maid to empty out all the property of our Ma family!
Madam, can you afford to gamble? "
Bai was in a daze, as if all his strength had been drained from his body.
She turned a deaf ear to Pomegranate's desperate pleas for mercy.
After a while, she seemed to make up her mind, and slowly turned her gaze to Pomegranate. There was disappointment and pain in her eyes, but more importantly, anger, "Pomegranate, you are a son of the Bai family, and the whole family is here." Baifu, you didn't have a good life following me in the past, I just thought it would be smoother for you by bringing you to Ma's house.
Originally, I planned to find a suitable steward for you to marry in the Ma family. Although it is not as good as the steward of the Bai family, at least I can take care of you. Now it seems that I am self-righteous.
Your heart is not with me at all. In that case, you can leave. I will send you back to the White Mansion to my aunt in a while. From now on, you will fulfill your filial piety by my aunt's side and there is no need to come back. "
"Young Madam!" Shiliu looked at Bai in astonishment, her vision blurred by tears, "Young Madam, I don't dare to do it anymore, never again!"
Bai stood up angrily, "Don't you dare? If Bai Feng threatens you with the lives of your family in the future, how dare you? Pomegranate! I will never allow any hidden dangers around me!"
Shiliu was stunned. She couldn't answer Bai's question and didn't dare to say anything except crying.
On the same day, Pomegranate was forcibly sent back to Bai Mansion by Bai's people.
This matter reached Zhu's ears, and Zhu kept a close eye on it and asked the people below to investigate secretly.
Bai Feng was so angry that he smashed a lot of things, but he didn't say anything, let alone Pomegranate and the Ma family.
After Ma Xingteng finished handling the pomegranates, he immediately went to Su's house in Dongmen Village with a heavy gift.
Shen Yi and Su Tai were still waiting for a reply and did not go back.
When Ma Xingteng entered the house, he immediately apologized to Han and Su Chunlin, "Uncle Su, Auntie, I'm so sorry. What happened to Cuilan was all instigated by my wife's maid Shiliu. She was threatened by the eldest young master of the Bai family and just wanted to get rid of Cuilan." I didn’t think much about this burden. I have already told my wife. My wife fell ill from anger and is still feeling sad at home. However, she also knows that such a slave who betrays his master cannot be kept and has already sent him back to the White Mansion. Yes, I promise, this will never happen again."
Han didn't expect that Ma Xingteng would come to apologize in person. Seeing that he was so approachable and sincere, the unhappiness in his heart dissipated a lot. Knowing that the initiator of the whole thing had been dealt with, he immediately smiled with satisfaction and said to Ma Xingteng was very enthusiastic.
"We can trust Mr. Ma's character. I was also very angry with that woman Cuilan. How could she have the nerve to come to our family after doing such a thing? Do you think our Su family is a rag picker?" Cuilan was angry.
Mr. Han quickly shook his head and said, "Master Ma, please rest first and talk to my son-in-law. I'll get you something delicious."
Ma Xingteng didn't expect much from the delicious food Han said. He paid more attention to Shen Yi.
"Brother Shen, one thing is another, I have already disposed of the pomegranate, but it can't affect our business!"
He has made nearly one hundred taels from selling pot helmets during this period, and he must not lose this business.
Some people may say that a hundred taels is not much, but it depends on where it is. If it is in a Fucheng or a prosperous big town, it is definitely not much, but their Moshi Town is a remote town, and ordinary people spend all year round. No one can save five taels of silver.
The Ma family is considered a wealthy family in Moshi Town, and they also have many servants. The daily expenses of the house do not exceed fifty taels a year.
He can do many things with these one hundred taels.
What's more important is that the shop was the compensation given to him by Ma Yuanwai after he survived the disaster. He said at that time that the profits from those properties would belong to him, and no one else should be different.
Now the restaurant is the most profitable among his shops, so he has to coax Shen Yi, the God of Wealth, into doing whatever he wants.
Shen Yi found it funny when he saw Ma Xingteng fidgeting, with a bit of anxiety and panic in his eyes. He slowly lowered his eyelids and said unhurriedly: "As my mother-in-law said, I can trust Mr. Ma's character. , Don’t worry, business between us remains as usual.”
Ma Xingteng was relieved, and his smile became a little brighter.
Just as Mr. Han came in with bread and cakes, his attention was immediately attracted, "What is this?"
Shen Yi said quietly: "This is a snack made by my wife. I want you to try it. We won't sell it, so don't take any chances with it."
Ma Xingteng looked regretful, picked up the bread and took a few bites, then suddenly looked at Shen Yi seriously, "Are you sure you don't want to sell it? If this thing is sold, I'm afraid it will make crazy money!"
Shen Yi shook his head, "No, our place is too small. These snacks not only cost a lot of work but also require materials. If you really sell them, just these few bites of yours would cost dozens of yuan. Can ordinary people afford them?"
"Hiss!" Ma Xingteng took a breath and widened his eyes exaggeratedly, "Is this thing made of gold? It's so expensive!"
Shen Yi shook his head, "It's not made of gold, but some ingredients can't be bought even with gold. It took my wife a year to save enough ingredients. If you have done this little, don't even think about it."
Ma Xingteng looked pityful. Since he couldn't sell it, he would eat more. The opportunity was rare and he couldn't miss it.
