The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Chapter 1737 Emptying the Chen Family House

Liu Dalan slammed her hand on the bed and cursed, "You ungrateful wretch!"

Yu Hua was already tired of sitting, and she knew that Liu Da Lan couldn't bring in any reinforcements. "Don't expect Cheng Feng to clean up your mess. Let's not waste time. Give me the money, three hundred and fifty-seven taels, not a penny less. If you're short a penny, I, Yu Hua, will report you to the authorities."

Liu Dalan pointed at Yuhua and said, "You've gone too far!"

Yu Hua said, "I know you're like a dog, always ready to bite back. I don't want to waste my time with you. Take the money and I'm leaving."

"I have no money, but you can take my life!"

"I knew you'd do this. Qingsheng, go outside and call for help!"

Chen Qingsheng nodded listlessly.

He strolled around and asked, "Why are you calling for someone?"

Yu Hua said, "Move things to make up for the Chen family's losses! Do you think I'm going to waste my time here with you!"

Chen Qingsheng arrived quickly with his men and asked Yu Hua, "Sister-in-law, what are you moving?"

Yu Hua straightened up, touched the table and chairs beside her, and said, "These are all made of elm wood, with exquisite carvings, and are almost new. Take them. And that screen is made of rosewood. It's not worth much, so take it. Also, those two wardrobes haven't even been used for a year, plus the pair of five-drawer chests, take them all."

Yu Hua came prepared with a large group of people. In no time, Liu Dalan's house was completely emptied, with clothes and quilts scattered all over the floor, as if it had been robbed.

Once inside the courtyard, Yu Hua pointed to the west wing, "That should be He Bao's boudoir. Empty everything out, including her tattered clothes, leave nothing behind."

Watching He Bao's things being moved out one by one, Su Aixiu stood anxiously, wringing her hands in frustration. Just then, Chen Qingsheng came to ask Yu Hua for instructions: "Sister-in-law, everything has been moved out, except for one bed."

Yu Hua was determined this time; she had to get it back, otherwise Chen Qingsheng's stall would be smashed again. "She even took the bed away. She's gone too far; what way can we leave her?"

Yu Hua turned to look at the east wing, and Su Aixiu immediately stepped aside, "Aunt Yu Hua, Tie Zhu and I live in the east wing, you can go and move in!"

Yu Hua said to Chen Qing, "Go and move the furniture out of the east wing! Then go and take a look at the backyard."

Upon hearing that they were going to the backyard, Boss Cheng immediately took down the birdcage from the eaves of his house and held it protectively beside him.

Yu Hua looked at the myna bird with its glossy feathers and said, "I heard from Cheng Feng that your myna bird is a top-quality specimen and worth a lot of money."

Cheng Laoda said, "This is my companion, so you can keep this myna bird for me!"

When Yu Hua went to Prince Pang's mansion to borrow servants, Cheng Feng had already instructed that everything could be moved except for Cheng Laoda's myna bird, which Cheng Laoda had to carry around when he went out.

Yu Hua said to the people around her, "Apart from that bird, take whatever looks valuable."

Before long, the Cheng family's house was completely emptied. Yu Hua instructed Cheng Qingsheng: "Take it to the street and dispose of it. Ask for more money for the valuable items, and sell the worthless ones cheaply."

"Selling it cheaply?"

Yu Hua said, "Even if we set it on fire, we can't bring this stuff home. He Ye is very sensitive, and if she sees these things, she'll definitely start having all sorts of wild thoughts. At this time, we must not drive He Ye crazy."

Chen Qingsheng obediently nodded, dealt with the items, and made up for the losses. In order to prevent He Ye from knowing that his stall had been smashed, Chen Qingsheng took some silver, drove a horse-drawn carriage to Liulichang, and brought back another cartload of glass.

Seeing Chen Qingsheng return early by train, He Ye asked, "Why are you back so early today!"

Chen Qingsheng began to lie, "There weren't many people on the street today, so I came back early."

Lotus Leaf looked up at the sky and said, "What a beautiful day! Why aren't there many people?"

"There are many people on the street, but few are buying glass!"

"What did you sell?"

"We sold several plates and bowls, but didn't make much money!"

He Ye handed the handkerchief to Chen Qingsheng: "Why are you looking around like that? Did you lose money on business today? Did you accidentally break the glass again?"

Chen Qingsheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and echoed He Ye's words: "Indeed, two plates were broken. All things considered, not only did we not make any money today, we actually lost half of our money."

Lotus Leaf cautioned Chen Qingsheng, "This thing is fragile, so handle it with care. If you break one, your whole day's work will be for nothing!"

Chen Qingsheng nodded repeatedly, "I know, I know, I've been very careful!" If he had known that this thing could be smashed to pieces with just two blows, he wouldn't have sold the glass no matter what Cheng Feng said. The cost price of this stuff was too high; losing a valuable piece was equivalent to working a whole day for nothing.

"How about I go with you to set up a stall tomorrow? I can help you with the accounting and sell your goods. You won't be flustered and you won't break the glass."

"No need, you should stay home and take good care of yourself during your pregnancy!"

"But I've never heard of pregnant women being prohibited from going out!"

Chen Qingsheng helped He Ye to sit down at the stone table. "If you don't listen to me, I won't set up my stall tomorrow and will stay home with you. By the way, have any uninvited guests come to the house these past few days?"

Lotus Leaf, ever perceptive, said, "You mean Lotus Bud? She didn't come! Don't worry, the house is always closed, she can't get in."

"That's good!"

The entire Chen family was terrified of a single lotus bud. The meticulous Lotus Leaf looked at the pile of glass again and again, feeling that something was amiss.

……

Having spent all her money, He Bao returned home that very night. She ran excitedly into Liu Da Lan's room, looking smug.

Two candles were lit inside the room, and in the dim light, He Bao immediately noticed the changes in the house. "Hey, Mom, where's the furniture in the room?"

Liu Dalan said, "Come here, Mother will tell you."

He Bao looked around as she walked towards the bedside. She had gotten used to Liu Dalan's gloomy face. "Mother, where is the furniture in this room?"

Liu Dalan said, "Come forward a little more!"

He Bao leaned forward, and Liu Dalan slapped her so hard she fell to the ground. She touched her face and cried out, "Mother, are you crazy? You hit me? Don't expect me to clean up your messes anymore!"

"If I were expecting you to clean up my excrement and urine, would anyone even be allowed in this house now?"

"Mother, you said it yourself!" He Bao got up from the ground and walked away without looking back.

She had barely reached her room when she screamed and ran out, "Where are my things? Where are my things? Did I get robbed?"

He Bao called out for a while, but no one came out to pay attention to her, so she had no choice but to go to Liu Dalan's room again, "Mother, where are my things?"

"You jinx, how dare you mention it? It's all your doing! Yu Hua has emptied our house!"

"what?"

On the wooden bed in the east wing, Xinhe propped her little head up and asked, "My aunt doesn't have a bed anymore, where will she sleep?"

Su Aixiu pressed her head down to make her lie back down: "Don't meddle in other people's business."
