Chapter 79 Li Wenting's Plan
Mother Xu looked at Li Wenting and her daughter Xu Wenwan in front of her, her heart filled with resentment.

How could this bitch let her daughter live in Chunhua's house, such a nice house.

Xu Jinke, the adopted son of Xu's father, lived in a small room.

If it was Xu Jinke who lived in that big house, Xu's mother might not have been so angry.

Because Xu Jinke is a boy.

Once, Xu's father said that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen, never cooks, and is unwilling to do any housework.

But now, Father Xu cooks with Li Wenting every day with a smile on his face. The two of them are so sweet and they think they are a teenage girl and boy and are not ashamed at all.

Wang Po has passed away. Xu's mother's health had improved a little, but it has worsened recently. But there is no one to take care of her anymore.

She is angry!
She was marrying down.

Father Xu is not worthy of her at all. How could she marry such a thing?

If I had known this earlier, I would have married the young master of the Duke's Mansion as a concubine. It would have been better than now.

The most hateful thing is that she only now realized that it was not that Xu's father didn't know how to be nice to others, but he just didn't want to be nice to her.

Li Wenting's daughter has now changed her name to Xu, and it is very comfortable for her to call her father Xu.

In the little girl's mind, this yard is not as big as the previous one and not as luxurious.

But there, she worked like a maid every day. Although the yard was luxurious, there was no place for her to stay.

Unlike her, the house I live in now is big and beautiful, and there are many beautiful clothes in it. Although they are a little big, my mother has skillful hands and can make them wearable after just some alterations.

This is much better looking than her previous clothes.

But Xu's father said it was unlucky and didn't want Xu Wenwan to wear them because the original owner of these clothes had passed away.

Then Li Wenting pawned all the clothes and jewelry and exchanged them for more than one thousand taels of silver.

Father Xu gave everything to Li Wenting and asked her to buy some clothes.

Li Wenting had never controlled so much money before.

Father Xu didn't even mention how much money was sold, he just asked Li Wenting to buy some new clothes and jewelry.

Li Wenting felt that although she had no choice but to marry Xu's father, her life was still okay. Xu Qiuyue did not lie to her, and Xu's father did have some cash in his hands.

She doesn't know whether the baby in her belly is a boy or a girl. If it's another daughter, she won't be afraid, because an adopted son is also her own son.

So she is very nice to Xu Jinke.

After all, the child is still very young, only about two years old, and he is well-trained.

It looks very cute and has become plump and white recently.

Li Wenting was even happier.

Li Wenting doesn't like Wang Po. It was Wang Po who deliberately got Xu's father to fire her.

She now says that she can save some money by doing the work herself.

But she was already pregnant. After a month, she would tell Xu's father that she was pregnant. Then Xu's father would definitely ask her to hire someone else to help with odd jobs.

Xu Qiuyue told her very clearly that she could do whatever she wanted as long as she didn't let Xu's father and mother come looking for her.

Moreover, Lu Yuan will also take part in the imperial examination, and Xu Qiuyue will go to the capital with Lu Yuan at that time.

Even though Mr. and Mrs. Xu wanted to, they had no chance to look for Xu Qiuyue.

She just needs to keep Father Xu calm for a while.

Xu Qiuyue also prescribed her medicine for premature birth. As long as she took the medicine in August, she would be able to conceal the fact and no one would know the true identity of the child.

Even if the child was aborted, Li Wenting could accept it.

After all, this child is her humiliation. If it weren't for herself and her daughter, how could she do such a thing? She just wanted to live well with her daughter.

Fortunately, marrying Xu's father is as a co-wife, which will not affect her daughter's future.

Li Wenting has thought it through very clearly.

Men are unreliable, all she can rely on is herself.

Li Wenting planned to buy a shop with the more than 1,000 taels of silver.

The shop is under her daughter's name, and when she gets married in the future, it will be her dowry.

As long as there is a male in the family, the shop can be registered under her daughter's name forever, and there is no need to worry about being taken over by others.

If her daughter had a son, the shop could be passed down.

Li Wenting was also very clear that the Xu family currently had no source of income, and the only huge sums of money they had came from marrying off their daughter.

The money came quickly and was spent quickly.

Li Wenting not only bought a shop for herself, but also persuaded Xu's father to buy a shop.

Father Xu cannot keep money in his hands. Whenever relatives come to borrow money, he will definitely lend the money out.

Only after he spent the money and had no more money left, did Mr. Xu become obedient.

"My dear, the eldest lady has good skills. She doesn't like me, and I don't want you two to become estranged after so many years of marriage. When the time comes, let the eldest lady help you run your shop. You don't have to pay rent for the shop, and you can make money by doing any business.

What's more, husband, don't you have many good friends? You can open a tea shop and help attract some customers.

Help the lady attract some business, so she has something to do and maybe she won't go crazy at home."

"Wenting, you are really smart. I wish I had married you earlier. I actually made you walk all the way from Meihua County to here with such hardship.

Now that you have opened a shop, you are still thinking about letting that crazy woman take advantage of you."

"Husband, now as long as we are together, it is enough. Let's not talk about the past. As a person, you can't have everything! I already have you, my husband, which is a great blessing.

I just hope that our family can be well and live in harmony.

I plan to open a small library when the time comes, so I can teach Wen Wan how to read."

Li Wenting knew very well that if Xu's father really loved her, he should pay attention to her whereabouts and go to Meihua County to find her.

But Mr. Xu never did that once.

On the contrary, Xu Qiuyue still remembered her and took her out.

She is not young anymore and has long passed those days of romance.

She would never let Xu's father go to her shop to cause trouble. If that happened, she would get free bills here and there, which would be a huge loss.

She had already thought about opening a bookstore specializing in selling storybooks. She had read a lot of books when she was young, and she could also write some storybooks to sell. When the time came, she could make some cakes to sell, and she would be able to earn some money to support herself and her daughter.

Father Xu didn't know that Xu Chunhua's jewelry could be sold for so much money.

He thought that Li Wenting had some savings of her own.

Li Wenting's money was her own private money. How could he, a grown man, have the nerve to ask for Li Wenting's money?

What's more, he also has a mother, Xu. Although she is a co-wife, in fact, she is a concubine, which is one level lower than Xu's mother.

The shop he and Xu's mother opened was definitely his.

Father Xu also wanted to start a business and make money on his own.

Otherwise, people would say that he got his money from his daughter's dowry, and he would lose face!
