Chapter 385 Adding Another Fire
Chapter 385 Adding Another Fire
A lady beside Liu Rumei, who was dressed elegantly, toasted Liu Rumei and said, "I never thought that you are the boss of the opera troupe in Xiangyuan Tower. My mother-in-law will be turning 60 next month. I wonder if you can invite your troupe to perform here? My mother-in-law likes to go to Xiangyuan Tower to watch your troupe perform. If you are willing, I can pay you 100 taels."
What! One hundred taels!
This number shocked Mrs. Gu so much that she was shocked inside.
Liu Rumei raised the teacup in front of her and said, "Sister, please use tea instead of wine. Since I said so, how can I disagree? But I won't charge you 100 taels. Your husband and my husband are good friends. I will give you a discount. Since it's the old lady's 60th birthday, I will charge you 60 taels."
As soon as she said this, the lady in front of her smiled and said, "That's great. I'll write this date to my sister later."
Liu Rumei nodded, and the two smiled at each other and drank the wine in one gulp.
A deal was done over a few cups of wine.
Then several more people wanted to ask Liu Rumei's troupe to perform, and Liu Rumei agreed to all of them, but said, "I agreed to all of you today because I am grateful for you coming to my son's full moon banquet. We have decided today, but you must not tell anyone else. After all, Xiangyuanlou and I have a long-term partnership. As you all know, if I am out there running orders for a long time, it will make my boss unhappy."
After saying that, he glanced at Xie Jiaojiao.
Xie Jiaojiao immediately laughed and said, "Sister is teasing me again."
The people at the table saw that Liu Rumei and the lady of the Xiangyuan Tower had such a good relationship. After all the incident that had just happened, they raised their glasses and had a drink with the two of them.
Old Mrs. Gu saw that in the blink of an eye, Liu Rumei had already negotiated several deals. In just a short period of time, Liu Rumei earned more than her son's annual salary!
Moreover, she had a very good relationship with the lady of the Dong family. When she thought about how she had treated her at home before, and Narcissus, that ignorant girl, who had caused so many troubles...
I couldn't help but tremble with my hands while eating.
After the meal, both the host and the guests were very happy.
After everyone finished their meal, Liu Rumei asked the servants to prepare tea, melon seeds and candies. Everyone drank tea and chatted while waiting to watch the show in the yard.
Liu Rumei pulled Xie Jiaojiao aside and said, "Thank you, sister, for supporting me today. I was able to vent my anger today."
Xie Jiaojiao held her hand and said, "Sister, don't underestimate yourself. You have earned your reputation today. They respect you because you have a big troupe behind you. But after this incident, you don't have to worry about your identity being used as a topic all day long."
Liu Rumei nodded, her eyes red, and she wiped them with embarrassment: "Because Gu Shuixian always used my identity to make trouble, I also took it to heart, but now that we have talked it out today, I feel relieved."
At this point, she looked at Xie Jiaojiao and bowed slightly towards her: "Thank you for saving me today, sister."
Isn’t this serious?
Xie Jiaojiao quickly supported her: "Do we still need to say these polite words between you and me? My mother always said in the past that as long as we can get through this life, it will get better one day!"
Liu Rumei smiled and nodded with tears in her eyes.
Seeing that it was getting late, Xie Jiaojiao pulled Jiang Weinan to leave.
The couple came to see them off. Xie Jiaojiao looked at Gu Weizhi and said, "You must treat my sister Liu well. Don't bully her, and don't let her be bullied again."
Gu Weizhi held onto Liu Rumei's hand that was holding onto his arm: "Don't worry!"
Liu Rumei smiled happily and looked at Xie Jiaojiao: "You too, you are going to give birth in a few months, so don't work so hard on business like you did before."
"Okay, I got it! Take care, sis!"
Liu Rumei nodded.
After saying this, he waved his hand, got on the carriage and drove back.
Seeing that the carriage was out of sight, the two turned back to greet the guests, but everyone was watching a play at that time, so there was nothing to entertain them.
Liu Rumei pulled Gu Weizhi aside and asked, "How are you going to deal with this matter today?"
Gu Weizhi also knew that Gu Shuixian was wrong: "You decide what to do. I'll listen to you."
"really?"
Gu Weizhi nodded and held her hand: "Whatever you want to do, just don't abandon me."
"Okay, you said that!"
Gu Weizhi nodded.
Only then did Liu Rumei feel satisfied.
After all the guests had left that day, Liu Rumei, Gu Weizhi and their youngest son and luggage left the Gu family's house early the next morning.
Old Mrs. Gu had just gotten up and hadn't had time to clean up, but she came to keep us here.
Liu Rumei didn't say anything and went straight into the carriage carrying the child. Gu Weizhi turned around and looked at Old Lady Gu.
Old Mrs. Gu looked at him with tears in her eyes: "Wei Wei, are you really going to abandon your mother and your family for a woman?"
Gu Weizhi also had a sad face: "Mother, before I got married, you urged me to get married all day long. Now that I finally got married, you made things difficult for Rumei! She was pregnant with my child! The most important thing is that you allowed Shuixian to bully her! My child was born prematurely! Mother, Rumei is also a woman! If Shuixian married someone else and was bullied like this, would you feel uncomfortable?"
After Gu Weizhi finished speaking, he turned around and got on the carriage.
Old Mrs. Gu was left standing there alone, beating her chest and stamping her feet in great frustration.
"Mother was wrong, mother was wrong!" Old Mrs. Gu was crying. If she hadn't been supported by the servants beside her, she would have fainted.
Xie Jiaojiao and Jiang Weinan heard about this the next day.
Jiang Weinan was filled with sighs.
Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Luckily, I married into your family and didn't experience that terrible thing. Otherwise, I wouldn't be as easy to talk to as Sister Liu!"
Jiang Weinan hurriedly hugged the person into his arms: "Don't worry, even if my mother was here, she would definitely be a kind and good mother-in-law. She would not do such tormenting things. Otherwise, she would not have been bullied by Li Qiu and that bitch."
Xie Jiaojiao put her arm around his shoulders, and when she mentioned Li Qiuhe, she thought of the Jiang family.
"I heard from Uncle Wang that Jiang Che lost a large sum of money in the gambling house a few days ago, which made Jiang Huaian very angry. He even wanted to break off relations with him. I think we should find an opportunity to add fuel to his fire. After we deal with this matter, we will go back to the village so that I can prepare for the birth of my child with peace of mind."
Jiang Weinan nodded in agreement and looked at her: "Then how do you say we add fuel to the fire?"
Xie Jiaojiao's eyes turned: "Of course I will take the initiative..."
