The old lady is reborn

Ning Chen's family members saw that she was short of money and couldn't give her anything, so they complained about her. It was true that a daughter who is married off is like water spilled, a member of her husband's family, and as long as she married well and lived well, they would not care about the life and death of her family members.

Now Ning Chen is in charge of the big kitchen and finds that it is really easy to mess up. He doesn't know if Song Ying trusted her mother-in-law Wu Siyu too much in the past, and now everything is based on the old rules. Since Song Ying doesn't check Wu Siyu's accounts, she won't care about Ning Chen's accounts.

After a while, Ning Chen became bolder. That day, Ning Chen made an appointment with his sister-in-law to meet outside. When they met, Ning Chen stuffed another fifty taels of silver into his sister-in-law's pocket and brought a lot of food, including dried shrimp, smoked fish, bacon, lychees, and other fruit snacks. There was everything, four large paper bags and a basket.

My sister-in-law said, "The Nan'an Marquis's Mansion is really rich and powerful. You give us fifty taels every few days and there are so many good things."

While happily accepting it, he said, "Fifty taels each time is not a small amount. But you know the life of my mother's family. The foundation is too weak. Your elder brother and your younger brother have discussed and want to change the feng shui and the gate for our family.

The two of them have chosen a house in Southeast Lane. Although Southeast Lane is not a wealthy place, it is much better than where we originally lived."

Ning Chen said, "Isn't Southeast Lane a wealthy place? Are you eyeing Southeast Street?"

The sister-in-law asked, "Where do you live now? Do you think your mother's family is unworthy of you?

The house we bought is big enough for our whole family to live in, and we'll leave you a yard. If you go back to your parents' home with your son-in-law, this house will at least be presentable, and you'll have some face.

My parents have also visited the house. Although it is not big, they are very happy. If they can live in it again in this life, they will die with their eyes closed. Look at what they said..."

Ning Chen asked: "How much does the house cost?"

The sister-in-law said, "Five thousand taels of silver."

Ning Chen said: "I don't have so much money. How about taking it slow and waiting for three to five years? I'll think of some ways and maybe I can get it out."

My sister-in-law said, "The family was in urgent need of money, so they sold the house at a low price. If you miss this opportunity, you will never find it again."

If something happens to you and you stop taking care of the kitchen, it will be even more difficult to predict the outcome.

Let's eat a bite of meat when there's meat, so we won't regret it later."

Ning Chen said: "But five thousand taels is too much, can't your family afford it?"

My sister-in-law said, "My parents are old and need medical treatment and medicine. My children need to go to school.

After buying the house, we need to buy new furniture. Are we going to use those old broken wooden things?"

Ning Chen was very hesitant.

The sister-in-law said, "Our ancestors were also rich. My grandfather's generation lost the title of the Earl's Mansion. My father was also the son of the Earl's Mansion. He said that in his life, every time he moved, the house became smaller and smaller, and the house became more and more broken. The good things became less and less, and they had to be sold or pawned, just like a defeat.

This is the first time I've seen a trend of moving back.

Your father was very happy when you were able to marry into the Marquis's Mansion, but now you can't count on it."

Ning Chen heard this and said, "I'll go back and think about it."

The sister-in-law said: "You are so beautiful. If we only talk about appearance among the girls in Kyoto, even if we are modest, we may not be in the top ten, but how can we not be in the top twenty?

The man is talented and the woman is beautiful, but can Rong Yunyue's talent be ranked in the top 20 among the young masters in Kyoto? I don't even know if he is in the top 200.

What's wrong with you being worthy of him? There's no need to be so cautious.

Besides, what good reputation did the Nan'an Marquisate have? Nowadays, everyone said that the eldest branch of the family had no talent or virtue, and it was all thanks to Song Ying that the eldest branch had secured the title.

You bet on the right horse. At that time, everyone was saying that the title would go to the second branch. If the eldest branch didn't have a title, how could it be stronger than our family in the future?

If the marriage is not settled first and the title is not given, Wu Siyu will look down on us as if we are not noses or eyes.

My son-in-law is the eldest son and grandson, and he will inherit the title sooner or later. Then you will be the wife of the Marquis of Nan'an sooner or later. It's not good for your family to be too shabby, right?"

Ning Chen had no choice but to say, "I'll go back and think of a solution."

My sister-in-law said, "Please be careful and hurry up. The house has good feng shui, a good location, and the price is cheap. You can't wait."

Ning Chen returned to the Nan'an Marquis Mansion and first looked at her jewelry box. Most of them were bought after she got married. If she pawned them, it should be enough.

She also thought that most of the maids and servants in her courtyard were from the Nan'an Marquis's Mansion. In order to avoid responsibility, she would definitely ask the older maids serving in the rooms, including the one who did her hair and makeup, or report the matter.

This makes it difficult for me to explain.

She opened her closet again, but no matter how beautiful the dress was, how could she sell it for a good price if it was made to fit her body?

Her eyes fell on the fox fur coat she wore in winter. This coat should be worth some money, but it was always worn in winter, and it would be very conspicuous if it was lost.

She suddenly had an idea and thought of her husband Rong Yunyue's clothes. As a man, he was often outside and was forgetful, so it was possible that he had left them outside.

When I thought of Rong Yunyue's fur cloak, I immediately thought of his jade pendant, the jade crown for his hair, the jade-inlaid waist belt, and his Hui ink.

So, in the following days, whenever Ning Chen went to Rong Yunyue's yard, he would find every opportunity to steal.

One time, when no one was in the house, I rummaged through the drawers and cabinets, and unexpectedly found some gold locks, gold bracelets, jade unicorns and other items used by children, which I quickly put away.

This was probably something her husband had when he was a child.

In this way, he secretly took all these things out and pawned them, because the pawnshop clerk said that the price of these things would be much higher if they were pawned.

Ning Chen chose to pawn his body as soon as he heard it, thinking that he had no money to redeem it anyway.

Seeing the Hui ink and fox fur, the clerk went to call the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper came and looked carefully, then asked Ning Chen, "Are you sure you want to pawn them, and do you want to pawn them for life?"

Ning Chen nodded.

Ning Chen didn't expect that these two items alone would fetch 4,500 taels, and the rest of the gold, silver and jade wares, about a dozen pieces in total, would fetch 1,100 taels.

She was overjoyed and hurried to her parents' home to give the 5,600 taels of silver note to her parents.

Her mother's whole family was delighted, but Ning Chen felt a little guilty, so he hurried back to Nan'an Marquis Mansion.

Because Song Ying took on the business of producing military uniforms together with fifteen cloth shops and garment stores, she had to go out every day to deal with related chores.

On the way back home, he suddenly saw a man walking hurriedly. It was one of those ferocious servants and guards in his previous life.
