Chapter 279: The Disaster of the Wealthy
“Miss, I made some thin porridge. You can fill your stomach first. You haven’t eaten or drank anything this day, so be careful of starving yourself.”
Wearing The girl in the blue skirt whispered to Ripple. She was obviously one of this little girl's maids.
"I'm not hungry, and my heart feels tight."
Lianyi lowered her eyes and whispered, sniffing.
"Miss, I know you are sad, but I have been ill for a long time, so you should..."
"I know, but I still feel sad."
After finishing speaking, Ripple wiped her eyes.
“Hey!” The girl sighed, no longer persuading the young lady to eat porridge, but instead advised the young lady to rest:
“I will burn the paper for the young lady for a while, and the young lady should go to the side hall and take a nap! ”
"I'd better stay here to accompany my father!"
Lianyi shook her head slightly, showing the little girl's stubbornness.
"Miss, if you don't rest, go wash your face. Your eyes are swollen like walnuts. You have to meet guests tomorrow! I have already filled the water for you."
Girl He persuaded in a gentle voice.
Finally Ripple nodded and accepted the other party's suggestion.
The girl seemed to know that Lianyi couldn't stand up after kneeling for a long time, so she stretched out her hand to help him up. She was a head taller than Lianyi, so she helped him easily. After sending Lianyi into the side hall, she also brought the porridge and put it on the table. After persuading her to eat, he just soaked the handkerchief and handed it to Lianyi, then hurriedly returned to the mourning hall.
Lianyi wiped her face slowly, then turned around and sat down. It seemed that she was leaning on the back of the chair to rest, but in fact, she had begun to receive the memory of the original owner.
The original owner is the only descendant of Wu Dacai, the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River. After his wife gave birth to the original child, she almost suffered from severe bleeding and did not survive. It was because Wu Dacai was rich and used a 300-year-old ginseng to save his wife.
Wu Dacai's wife, Li, was born in a big family. Because of her family's decline, in order to maintain the dignity of the family, she had no choice but to marry Wu Dacai, a businessman, which was equivalent to being sold out by the family.
Ms. Li has long been cold-hearted about her family. Fortunately, Wu Dacai loves her. Although the other person is a businessman, he also has a little literary talent. They are married first and then fall in love. They respect each other as guests and live a good life. If Life would be better if it wasn't for the family members who occasionally come to visit to catch the autumn breeze.
Because of this childbirth, Ms. Li was physically injured and could not get pregnant again. The Li family approached Ms. Li and wanted her concubine to marry into the Wu family as a concubine so that she could give birth to a son as soon as possible so that the Wu family would not have no successors. people.
This disgusting suggestion made Li completely break up with the Li family. She turned around and went to Wu Dacai to cry and said that she was willing to give up her position as the head wife and not delay him from giving birth to a son. Make peace with him and take your daughter away.
Wu Dacai was naturally unwilling and tried to persuade the Li family. In fact, he was also a little tired of the Li family's greed. They ate so ugly and did not have the magnanimity of a wealthy family. This incident also made him sure that his His wife is on his side and is not willing to help her family plot against him.
Wu Daceng was a great businessman, and he was not a brainless person. He made a prompt decision and lied that his wife was seriously ill after childbirth. He invited many famous doctors to see him. Finally, he came to the conclusion that he needed to go out for rest, and it was best to go to a place with a pleasant climate. The conclusion of local recuperation. With these foreshadowings, Wu Dacai directly ended the business in the north. Of course, he also pretended to give several stores that seemed to be full of customers, but in fact began to decline, directly to his in-laws, saying that he would take his beloved wife to Jiangnan. recuperate.
The Li family had benefited, and the other party was for his daughter. Naturally, he had no position to stop him. He could only watch Wu Dacai leave the capital and settle in the south of the Yangtze River with a pleasant climate. At this point, the mountains were high and the rivers were far away, and there was no way to come to catch the autumn wind. Can look forward to the New Year’s Eve every year.
Wu Youcai, who just went to the south, used the excuse that business was not easy to do. He was squeezed out by businessmen from Jiangnan when he first arrived here, so the gifts he gave him were not as good as each year. He waited for the Li family to send someone to the south to return the gifts and check it out. At that time, I found that Wu Youcai's family only lived in a courtyard with a small room for two people, and the layout of their home was also quite shabby.
The Li family didn't believe that Wu Youcai's family fortune would be ruined so quickly, so they urged him to return to the capital. Wu Youcai was indeed talented. He said that he had to get up wherever he fell. Unfortunately, he never showed up again. Get up and pass.
In fact, when he got his daughter Wu Lianyi and knew that his wife could no longer have children, Wu Youcai began to make plans for his daughter. If he waited a hundred years later and his daughter inherited all his family wealth, then the Li family would definitely be like Xiu The shark, sensing the smell of blood, rushed up and swallowed his daughter.
So when his daughter’s first birthday party was held and the Li family was preparing to give him another daughter as a concubine, he had already started planning.
When they arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, Wu Youcai told his wife Li about his plan, and Li agreed very much. She didn't want her daughter to become a stepping stone for the Li family in the future, and she still had to take the wealth earned by her husband with her.
The couple teamed up to deceive the Li family. After a few years of stable life, Wu Youcai only had a rice store and a rental shop, and the money he earned could only be considered small. Rich, low-key and unnoticed.
In fact, privately, all his money was used to invest to earn dividends, and he invested in the names of different people. He was considered an invisible rich man in Jiangnan.
After all, Ms. Li was injured, and her family was worried. After a period of comfortable life, she passed away when she was nine years old. The death of his first wife made Wu Youcai also sad. The Li family seemed to be smelling When he arrived, he sent someone to attend the funeral and said that he would take him to the capital to live for a while.
Wu Youcai burst into tears, pulled the old servant of the Li family and cried:
"My father-in-law is trying to tear out my heart! Wanwan just left. Ripple is my only comfort at this time. If you take her away, how will I survive?
I know you are worried about Wanwan If I leave, I will marry someone else, which is not good for Lianyi. I, Wu Youcai, swear that I will live by my daughter for the rest of my life, and will never marry another person, nor will anyone bully my daughter."
Some words. After blocking the steward back, the Li family was angry and a little unwilling. However, three years later, Wu Youcai really did not marry again and only depended on his daughter. The Li family secretly cursed the bad luck and then shifted their attention.
But Wu Youcai was ill at that time. Because he missed his deceased wife and had an untreated hidden injury when he was a young businessman, his health became worse and worse, and he ended up lingering on the sick bed, leaving business matters to his subordinates to handle.
The servants were not as cautious as Wu Youcai, and they showed their flaws when doing things. Then some rumors spread, including the rumor that Wu Youcai was really rich.
At that time, Wu Youcai was already seriously ill and it was too late to stop the rumors, so he began to arrange a way out for his daughter little by little. He had to protect her no matter what.
After receiving the news, the Li family in the capital immediately arranged for people to go on the road and rushed to the Wu family in the south of the Yangtze River. As long as Wu Lianyi was grasped, the rumored large fortune would be in the Li family's pocket.
Unfortunately, they were a step too late after all. In the afternoon of the day they arrived, Wu Dacai took his last breath. The time when Ripple entered was when the original body kept vigil on the night of his father's death.
The Li family is always evil and courageous. In order to make the Wu family rich, a group of them, led by their young master, disguised themselves as gangsters and broke into the Wu family with their faces masked in the middle of the night, preparing to kill people and steal wealth. Unfortunately, almost all the people were killed, but no gold or silver treasure was found from the Wu family, and only five thousand taels of silver notes were found inside and outside.
See you tomorrow! Fengling's allergies have returned again!
