Chapter 1042: Manage Well Madam Tang helped Madam Zhu explain: "The woman just now was the shopkeeper's sister-in-law. This woman was very shameless and wanted the shopkeeper to steal the fabrics from the clothing store. The shopkeeper has helped the family a lot, but they still want to do this. It's really too much!" Madam Zhu apologized to Yan Fu Ning and said, "Miss, I just couldn't help it. It's my fault that the quarrel affected the business of East Third Street. But the clothing store belongs to you, and I will never do anything to let you down!" "It won't affect you. You should be happy as a person. You should scold people you don't like." Yan Funing said softly, "You did a good job." He turned around and said to the people around him, "I also believe that everyone has sharp eyes and can tell who is right and who is wrong." Someone said, "Mrs. Zhu is a good person and works diligently in business. We all know that." Another woman also said: "Her sister-in-law is so shameless. Not only does she not want Madam Zhu to get married, she also wants Madam Zhu to use her work income to subsidize their family. It is said that her son has been engaged, and they still want Madam Zhu to pay for the bride price. Where in the world can there be such a vicious sister-in-law? It is really eye-opening." "Is this really true?" Yan Funing frowned. Madam Zhu nodded: "I have never married, and all the money I earned was given to my family. Now that I am with Tong Cheng, I started saving money for myself for our future family. My sister-in-law is not happy about this. She saw that Tong Cheng and I each managed a shop and the business was good, so she started to have evil ideas." Madam Tang said, "The shopkeeper's wife is really something. She even said that it would be better if the shopkeeper didn't get married and that she would be supported by the family in the future. Who is supporting whom? It's really ridiculous." Yan Funing became angry after hearing this and turned around to look for someone.

Fu Ciyi asked softly, "What do you want me to do?" "No need for my husband's help." Yan Funing looked towards Chengwen Building and finally saw a familiar figure, so she waved at him, "Brother Chengwen, come here." "My sister is here." Liu Chengwen took a few quick steps and said, "Sister and brother-in-law, you are back from Ling County. When did you come back?" "She came back just two days ago." Yan Funing said softly, "When Madam Zhu's sister-in-law comes again in the future, can your people keep an eye out for her?" "It's a small matter." Liu Chengwen agreed. Fu Nanyao whispered to Fu Beimo: "After all, our sister-in-law is the best." "You just found out?" Fu Beimo sneered. Fu Nanyao: "Of course I knew it a long time ago. Now that we compare, our sister-in-law is really incomparable." Fu Beimo: "You should stop flattering me. Just know that my sister-in-law is good." Fu Nanyao sighed: "Today I learned that there are many mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships that are difficult to get along with, but I didn't expect that there are also many mother-daughter relationships that are bad." Fu Beimo said directly: "There are so many people in the world, so naturally there are all kinds of relationships. What's worse, some relatives can't stand their own relatives living better than theirs." Madam Zhu heard what the siblings said: "My mother only has eyes for my brother and my nephew. She wishes I could be an old maid forever." After Madam Zhu finished speaking, she nodded and greeted the people around her, and then led Yan Funing and others into the shop. "Miss, Your Highnesses, let's talk inside." Everyone entered the shop. Yan Funing said to Liu Chengwen as they walked, "Is the restaurant cooking medicinal food?" "It's been cooking since before daybreak. It should be ready in half an hour." "Okay then. I'll pack it up and send it to my mother later." "If Aunt Queen wants to eat it, just send someone to tell her and I will deliver it to her personally." Liu Chengwen said.

"It's the same if we come to get it." Several people sat down one after another, and Madam Zhu served tea and snacks. Tong Ya walked to Yan Funing's side obediently and said, "Sister, that man was so fierce just now. He came over many times before, glared at me, and pinched me." "Did she pinch you?" Madam Zhu felt so distressed that she squatted down and held Tong Ya in her arms. Tong Ya patted her back with her little hand: "Mom, my daughter is fine, don't be sad." Tong Cheng, who was at the end of the street, heard that Yan Funing had arrived, so he dropped his work and came to the clothing shop. Madam Tang and Xiang Nuan told Tong Cheng what happened on the street just now. Tong Cheng apologized, "I was working in the backyard with my apprentice, so I didn't hear what was happening on the street." If he knew that Madam Zhu was being bullied, he would definitely come to help. While speaking, he looked at Madam Zhu and asked, "Are you okay?" "I'm fine, it's just that Xiaoya was bullied by my sister-in-law before." When it comes to this, Madam Zhu feels bad. Tong Cheng was annoyed: "How could she do that? She asked me for a lot of money before, saying that if the Zhu family agreed to let you and I be together, they would have to pay a lot of money as a betrothal gift, and I paid it." "Ah?" Madam Zhu's voice rose. "How much did you pay?" "Twenty taels. I spent a lot of money looking for Xiao Ya Niang. I don't have much money on me, so I gave twenty taels to your sister-in-law first." "Why didn't you tell me?" "I thought that since I had chosen you, I would definitely have to pay for the bride price. She also said that it had to be at least 100 taels, and asked me to give her the remaining 80 taels as soon as possible." "It would be fine if she came to me for money, but why did she go to you?" Madam Zhu became angrier and angrier the more she thought about it. Tong Ya looked left and right, not knowing who to persuade. Yan Funing gestured for her to hold her parents' hands. The little girl did as she was told and called softly, "Daddy and Mommy." Tong Cheng patted his daughter's head and comforted Madam Zhu: "Forget it, I'll give her the twenty taels. If she asks for it again, I will never give it to her." Madam Zhu looked at Yan Funing: "Miss..." "Hold on a suitable day and get married. In the future, you two should discuss things together and run your own family well." Yan Funing said gently, "If she comes again, you can find my brother Cheng Wen." "Oh, yes, it's just behind East Third Street. You can find a house there and I'll buy it for you as a wedding gift." Tong Cheng and Madam Zhu said in unison: "How can this be so embarrassing?" "What's there to be embarrassed about? I handed the shop over to you because you are loyal and honest." Yan Funing smiled slightly. Liu Chengwen joked: "Don't choose a super big house."

Everyone laughed. After chatting for a while and thinking that the medicinal food in the restaurant was almost cooked, Yan Funing and Fu Ciyi went to Chengwenlou accompanied by Liu Chengwen. Fu Beimo and Fu Nanyao took Tong Ya to a street snack shop to buy pastries. After packing up the medicinal food and buying some pastries, Tong Ya took the snacks back to the garment shop, while Yan Funing and the others left East Third Street. When we returned to the palace, it was time for lunch. Food was being served in the dining room of the Queen's Palace. Fu Ciyi and Fu Beimo both took the food boxes and handed them to the eunuch who was serving the dishes. At this time, Qiao Wanyou was supported by Long Yi and came out. "Is your headache better, mother?" Yan Funing stepped forward. "Much better." Qiao Wanyou smelled the familiar aroma and smiled, "I'm in for a treat today." She turned her head and said to Long Yi, "Our daughter-in-law is capable and has thought of many dishes. These are the signature dishes in her restaurant." "Then I must try it." The couple sat down one after another. Fu Ciyi and others also took their seats. "Mom, do you remember anything?" Fu Nanyao asked.
