Traveling to ancient times to sweep the catering industry

Chapter 187 No Dowry, No Confidence

Cheng Wenwen handed the letter to Old Madam Cheng. Old Madam Cheng took the letter, read it, and suddenly sneered, "They actually want to take over your store? They are so greedy!"

Cheng Wenwen advised: "Grandma, don't be angry. It's not worth it to get hurt because of them. Fortunately, I was prepared and they didn't succeed!"

Madam Cheng also spoke up and couldn't help but sigh, "The second son was raised by me personally, and I never treated him badly since he was a child. But why is he like this... Oh... I don't know if it's because I didn't teach him well, or if he is just like this!"

Cheng Wenwen said, "Grandma, you have done your best to treat my second uncle! You are not his biological mother. You have raised him for so many years, but he doesn't know how to be grateful and just wants to squeeze you dry. Such a person is not worth your worry."

Madam Cheng nodded: "Yes! Yes! Such a person is not worth it!"

In fact, Old Lady Cheng had long been disappointed with the second son, but her biological son had died, leaving her childless and helpless, so she had no choice but to allow this adopted son to act absurdly, and he almost harmed his own granddaughter because of this.

Old Madam Cheng looked at Cheng Wenwen and couldn't help feeling a little guilty: "It was all Grandmother's fault in the past. She couldn't protect you. You had to give in to Cheng Jinxiu in everything. You suffered a lot, didn't you?"

"I don't feel wronged!" Cheng Wenwen shook her head.

She was twenty-two years old and traveled through time to become a little kid, so she wouldn't get angry or nitpicking with that kid Cheng Jinxiu.

"I don't blame you, grandma, and don't blame yourself. Aren't we doing fine now?" Cheng Wenwen said with a smile.

Madam Cheng nodded, then took Cheng Wenwen's hand and said, "Don't worry, grandma was confused before, but now she is sober. We are blood relatives. Grandma will consider everything for you in the future. When you find someone you like and marry, grandma will prepare a generous dowry for you."

"Oh, grandma, please enjoy your property. Your granddaughter is not short of money now! You have worked hard for most of your life. In the future, just think about yourself and live happily. You don't have to worry about me." Cheng Wenwen said.

"That's what I said, but grandma still cares about you. I have found a way to transfer my dowry. It will all be yours when the time comes." Old Lady Cheng said with a smile.

"Grandma? You have been transferred? How did you transfer?" Cheng Wenwen couldn't help but feel curious. She hadn't heard that her grandmother had made any big moves.

Before, when she took her grandmother away from the Cheng family, she was afraid that the Cheng family would obstruct her because of her grandmother's dowry, so she didn't ask her grandmother to take her personal belongings with her. She only asked her grandmother to take some important things and leave.

She never knew that her grandmother had secretly transferred the things, and she couldn't help but be shocked by her grandmother's way of doing things.

Madam Cheng smiled and said, "Your grandmother has been in the Cheng family for so many years, and she has people under her. It's not difficult to transfer some things bit by bit. Of course, my things can't be given away to outsiders."

After hearing this, Cheng Wenwen smiled with relief and gave Old Madam Cheng a thumbs up.

Old Madam Cheng also smiled.

The grandparents and grandchildren were very happy. They were not in a hurry on the journey and could just enjoy the sightseeing and the scenery. They were in a very happy mood.

However, the Cheng family was not in such a good mood.

Second Madam Cheng brought Cheng Jinxiu to Old Madam Cheng's yard and broke in with her men, intending to pry open the warehouse and pick out some things for Cheng Jinxiu as a dowry.

They had been coveting the old lady's storehouse for a long time, but they never had the chance to see it. Now that the old lady was gone, they had fallen out again and it was a perfect opportunity to seize the storehouse.

This is a matter of course in their minds.

So the mother and daughter found a craftsman and pried open the lock of the warehouse.

The mother and daughter supported each other and pushed open the door of the warehouse excitedly, thinking that they would see a room full of things.

However, the scene before them was beyond their expectations. In this room, there was not even an empty box, let alone things.

"What's going on?" Mrs. Cheng was puzzled.

"Isn't this the warehouse?" Cheng Jinxiu asked her mother.

Madam Cheng also nodded and said, "Maybe it's not this room. We found the wrong one. Let's go to the old lady's room and take a closer look."

The mother and daughter thought they must have found the wrong house, so they searched the old lady's yard again and again.

However, the result remains the same.

There was nothing, not even a nest.

"How is this possible? They clearly didn't take anything with them."

Madam Cheng II thought back to when the old lady was taken away a few months ago. She had clearly watched it happen in person, and the old lady had only taken a few bags with her at that time.

"Why does it seem like the entire yard has been emptied?" Mrs. Cheng was particularly puzzled.

Cheng Jinxiu asked: "Mother, could it be that grandma has no financial resources at all?"

"Impossible! The old lady's family was a wealthy merchant family. She entered the Cheng family with a dowry worth a lot of money. How could there be nothing here? I once saw the old lady's storeroom, and it was so full that it couldn't even be stuffed in. This yard was clearly emptied. They must have done something behind our backs."

Mrs. Cheng Er thought this was the most likely possibility, otherwise how could so many things disappear?

Cheng Jinxiu also thought of this and became furious. She said, "Mother, it must be Cheng Wenwen who instigated grandma to do this. Otherwise, why would grandma suddenly leave the Cheng family and live with her? It must be her who instigated grandma to give her everything. What a shameless little bitch!"

Cheng Wenwen's parents passed away early, so the Cheng family has been headed by Master Cheng since she was a child. Cheng Jinxiu has been treated like a young lady at home since she was a child. She never thought that she would be so miserable after getting married, and even her dowry was snatched away by Cheng Wenwen.

Cheng Jinxiu said bitterly: "Cheng Wenwen and I cannot coexist!"

Mrs. Cheng was also angry. There was such a full house of stuff! She was extremely jealous, how could it be gone in an instant? She hadn't even enjoyed it yet!

"Mother! What should I do? I don't even have much dowry now, what should I do?"

The Cheng family has no property left now that it has come to the second master Cheng. The second master Cheng's official career is not very smooth, and he spends a lot outside. In the past, Madam Cheng would subsidize him a little, but now the family is a little short of income! There is no spare money to buy a dowry for Cheng Jinxiu! If it weren't for Madam Cheng's dowry, Cheng Jinxiu's dowry would mostly be empty.

Cheng Jinxiu had to marry the second son of the Zhao family, a second son who had no official position and no inheritance rights, and no dowry in the future. How would she live?

"Mom, I don't want to get married!"

Cheng Jinxiu didn't want to get married without any confidence. How aggrieved would that be? In addition, Zhao's cousin's mother didn't like her very much.

"Now that the wedding date has been set, what can you do if you don't want to get married? Break off the engagement? Your father will definitely not agree!" Mrs. Cheng was also worried, but now she could only make do with the situation, so she advised Cheng Jinxiu: "Don't worry, fortunately the Zhao family knows everything about you. If you have any difficulties in the future, tell your mother and she will help you make the decision."
