Lu Lingjun explicitly forbade the Hou Mansion to make loan sharks, firstly because the loan sharks were unclean and it would be unreasonable to earn such money, and secondly, she knew that there would soon be a big storm involving loan sharks.
The weather this winter has been extremely cold, and the number of private loans has increased a lot. Many families have been unable to make ends meet, so they have borrowed loan sharks from large families to survive the winter. If they can't pay back the money next year, many murders have occurred due to the selling of children.
The matter aroused the attention of the higher authorities. After a thorough investigation, the imperial court found out that the matter was caused by usury, and they severely cleaned up a wave of loan sharks. At that time, all the people found out were punished.
Not only did they not be allowed to take back the money, it also affected their career.
Lu Lingjun didn't know what the impact of the Hou family's previous life was. She only knew that the Li family was investigated at that time.
Webster secretly borrowed money, causing her husband and father-in-law to forfeit their salary for half a year, damaging their career, and the entire Li family fell into a haze.
Fortunately, spring was approaching, and Lu Lingjun supported Li Wenxun on Qingyun's head. Once he was admitted, he indirectly helped the Li family and revived the Li family.
Without her help in this life, the Li family's loan sharking crisis would definitely not be that simple.
She sent Butler Qian away and was not in a hurry to tell Mrs. Qin first. Mrs. Qin would be returning home in a few days. Then she would tell her face to face about the loan sharking.
Lu Lingjun continued to look at the account books and take care of the housework. Xing Dairong was also busy in the backyard these days.
"Yunshuo, the kid keeps kicking me these past two days."
As soon as Cheng Yunshuo returned home, he was pestered by Xing Dairong.
During this time, Lu Lingjun was busy ignoring his two aunts, and Qiu Ling ignored Cheng Yunshuo, only telling Xing Dairong to lose his rival.
He pesters Cheng Yunshuo all day long.
Cheng Yunshuo accommodated her a lot since she was obsessed with him every day.
"Then you have a good rest and don't come out all the time." Cheng Yunshuo accompanied her into the house.
There were three pots of charcoal in her room, the same specifications as Lu Lingjun's. As a rule, there was only one pot in the aunt's house. She was pregnant, so Lu Lingjun made an exception and gave her an extra pot of charcoal, and the other pot was grinded from Cheng Yunshuo. .
Fortunately, Cheng Yunshuo was working as an errand now and received a monthly salary from the imperial court. If he had not had a monthly salary from the family for a year, he would not have known where the money would come from.
"No, the child misses his father." Xing Dairong whispered in Cheng Yunshuo's ear.
"How old is he? How can he have any ideas?" Cheng Yunshuo sat down and said with a serious head.
"Mother and son are connected. If you don't believe it, just touch it." Xing Dairong grabbed his hand and put it on his heart.
Cheng Yunshuo: "..."
"Okay, I heard it." Cheng Yunshuo said perfunctorily.
"Then what else did you hear?"
Xing Dairong took advantage of the victory and pursued him, grabbing his hand and not letting go.
Cheng Yunshuo: "...He said he was very happy."
"No! The boy said he wanted gold."
Cheng Yunshuo: "..."
What kind of gold does he want for a child who is only over two months old!
Facing Xing Dairong's twinkling eyes, he sighed helplessly, "What are you looking at again?"
Immediately, Xing Dairong grabbed Cheng Yunshuo's hand and sat down with a smile on his face, "Yunshuo, I want to do a golden step."
"Jin Buyao?"
"Yes, I think Qiu Ling is a bitch... Aunt Qiu also has a Jin Bu Yao, but I don't." Xing Dai Rong saw Qiu Ling wearing a Jin Bu Yao several times.
She doesn't have that kind of style and texture. Those of hers are the most basic styles, and Xing Dairong is gradually seeing it now.
Lu Lingjun rewarded her with the most ordinary and inconspicuous things.
Nothing better would be given to her at all.
If she wants it, she still has to rely on herself.
After she finished speaking, Cheng Yunshuo spread his hands helplessly, "I have no money."
"How come you have no money? Didn't you say you were promoted? You have a royal salary!"
Cheng Yunshuo looked at Xing Dairong in front of him, "You asked me for charcoal fires, clothes, dried fruit snacks from the shops on East Street, and various snacks and snacks from the restaurants outside. I would have called you with my little salary. used up."
Xing Dairong immediately became unhappy, "What do you mean, I am carrying a baby for you! What does it cost? My two pots of charcoal are not enough, do you want to keep the baby cold! I am pregnant and my appetite is not enough That’s not good. Look at the food that’s coming and going in the house. If you don’t buy me some of my favorite food, do you want to starve the child to death?”
Cheng Yunshuo: "..."
He felt annoyed.
Super annoying.
Every time I came to Xing Dairong's house during this period, she would definitely be asking for this or that. Whenever she was dissatisfied, she would complain about her children. All his meager salary was spent on her, and she was still nagging her. , we can’t let him ask Lu Lingjun for money!
"It's not that I won't give it to you, but I don't have any money now, so you have to wait a few more months." Cheng Yunshuo promised, suppressing the impatience in his heart.
He has been preparing to save his salary for a few months, or see if the Qin family will give him a subsidy during the Chinese New Year, and then give Xing Dai Rong a gold medal.
"How many months to wait?" Xing Dairong was very dissatisfied when he heard this, "Why don't you say how many years to wait? You men are just good at drawing the pie. Today, tomorrow, tomorrow, and never again! You are a dignified prince, you are If you don’t want to give it, you just use the lame excuse of not having money.”
"Don't you know how much money I have! Don't you know how much I spent for you!"
"I don't know! I know you won't buy it for me. You promised to treat me forever, but how long has it been! I want a Jin Bu Yao, not one of Lu Lingjun's big emeralds and white marbles. What are you pretending to do!"
Xing Dai Rongcai didn’t believe that Cheng Yunshuo had no money.
He is the crown prince and the entire Hou Mansion belongs to him. How could he have no money?
I just don’t want to spend money on her!
When I first loved her, I spent a lot of money on it, but now, just now, I don't even want to give her a single gold step. Cheng Yunshuo is just pretending to be like her!
When Cheng Yunshuo heard what Xing Dairong said, he was so angry that he couldn't breathe. He looked at her more and more strangely, "Why are you like this!"
"That's how I am!"
Xing Dairong snorted heavily, with a look of resentment that he couldn't hide.
Sure enough, men in the world are all the same. No wonder her mother has told her since she was a child, don’t look at what a man says, but what he does. Her father has been coaxing her to buy later, and never later, ever since she was young.
Now it seems that Cheng Yunshuo is like this too!
Cheng Yunshuo stared closely at the angry woman in front of him, feeling more and more strange as he looked at her.
He clearly liked her initially because she was different and treated money like dirt. Why did he now look like one of those vulgar women who asked for things excessively and only wanted things from men?
Is this really the Xing Dairong he liked?
How vulgar!
He doesn't know.
The vigorous love will always return to dullness. After the dullness is over, you have to face the world, and the world is money.
Without money, everyone is vulgar.
