Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

Chapter 215 I would rather die than give it to you!

"Isn't this the shop that specifically asks women to deposit money? It's really a scam. I also saw many female workers from workshops depositing money there."

A passerby pointed at the woman's bank and said with lingering fear.

"It's a scam specifically designed to defraud women of their money. Women don't have much money to begin with. Whose family runs this business?"

"Tsk tsk tsk! You have such a dark heart."

······

All kinds of accusations were directed at the Women's Bank.

Seeing that everyone was blaming the female bank, the woman raised her voice even louder.

There were even more people watching.

She and her husband were both unscrupulous and used this trick to extort money from others. As long as they made a big enough fuss, the shop owners would give them some money to get rid of them for the sake of their own business.

The woman thought to herself that today's battle would not be over until she got ten taels of silver. She was going to ruin the reputation of this women's bank.

As for the princess and the queen, it is probably the manager who is making a big fuss. The princess and the queen would be interested in this or half an ounce of business.

The woman simply didn't believe that the princess and the queen were behind this shop.

Only after enough people gathered outside to watch the fun did Xue Zhenzhen slowly walk out of the door of the Women's Bank.

Seeing that someone finally came out of the women's bank, the owner of the rouge shop next to the women's bank shouted, "I said you are lying... Hey! Why is it Madam Xue?"

The rouge shop owner was halfway through his words when he recognized the person walking out the door.

As a famous wealthy widow in the capital, the owner of the rouge shop certainly knew Xue Zhenzhen, and she was also a big customer of their shop.

The owner of the rouge shop changed his tone and said, "How could a shop run by Madam Xue cheat people? You must have made a mistake."

The rouge shop owner's attitude, which was rude at first but respectful later, made those passersby who were about to accuse the woman of cheating shut their mouths and asked quietly, "Who is this Madam Xue?"

"Mrs. Xue, you just need to know that he is a rich man. Recently, he has been engaged to the second son of Duke Zheng. He is rich and powerful, so he will not be greedy for this woman's few taels of silver."

"what!"

The person asking the question was speechless and looked at the woman who was surrounded in the middle. Was this woman the one making trouble?

At this time, Xue Zhenzhen, who was standing at the entrance of the Women's Bank, smiled and clasped her fists at the crowd, saying, "Everyone."

"My Women's Bank is a bank that specializes in depositing money for women, and this person..."

Xue Zhenzhen pointed at the woman who was still crying.

"She is not a client of my Women's Bank. She is the stepmother of a client. Why should I give you the client's money?"

"What about me? I'm the biological father of that stinky girl. Can't I get her money?"

At this time, You Niang's father also rushed out.

"Pfft!"

One of the onlookers couldn't help laughing.

"Women's Bank, Women's Bank, why are you, a man, joining in the fun here?"

The person who spoke was also a smart man. Based on the name of the Women's Bank and Xue Zhenzhen's few words, he guessed what the Women's Bank was doing.

But how could Youniang's father be willing for Youniang to deposit the money in the bank? How could he live a carefree life if that happened? Half a tael of silver, 600 coins, was enough for him to live a carefree life for half a month.

He even went to that secret brothel a few times.

"But the money she earns should be given to me. I raised her."

You Niang was lying at the door of the bank, watching what was happening outside. When she heard her father say this, she hurriedly shouted, "I gave you half a tael of silver, and I will save the remaining half to redeem my sister."

"Why redeem it? It's already been sold. What's the point of redeeming it?"

As he spoke, You Niang's father's eyes turned dark.

Xue Zhenzhen sneered when she saw that look. She was very familiar with that look. After she lost her husband, the members of her husband's family looked at her like that. They wished she would die on the spot so that they could divide her dowry and the property of her husband's family.

"This...Xiuniang's father, let me remind you that when a woman deposits money into our Women's Bank, we will ask her what will happen to the money if she dies. Youniang's answer is that if she dies, the money she saves will be given to her sister. If her sister is also gone, the money will be directly handed over to the Women's Bank and will be handled by the Women's Bank."

The embroiderer's father was thinking about when to kill his daughter. Should he save up some money or wait for the dead girl to redeem her sister so that the two of them could make money for him and then save up several hundred taels of silver to kill both daughters together.

By then he could sell this yellow-faced woman and marry a beautiful bride.

He was feeling very happy, but suddenly he heard Xue Zhenzhen say that even if his daughter died, the money would not fall into his hands, and he jumped up on the spot.

"Why? My daughter's money should be mine. Why should I give it to your bank?"

You Niang's father was furious.

"Just because I want to!"

You Niang's frail figure ran out of the bank and shouted to her father, "I do! Even if I lose all this money, I won't give it to you."

"After my mother passed away, you sold my sister to pay off your gambling debts. If you didn't need someone to serve you, I would have been sold long ago."

"It's the same with this job. When you heard someone said a workshop was looking for people, you just threw them over without even asking what they did. Aren't you afraid it's a black workshop?"

"I have already given you half of the wages. This is my daughter's way of honoring you. I will definitely redeem you..."

The half tael of silver in the bank gave You Niang unlimited courage, and she argued loudly with her father.

Those who still wanted to accuse You Niang of being unfilial shut their mouths and turned to blame You Niang's father.

"What a cruel father! I thought his daughter would not give him a penny, but it turns out she has already given him half."

"It's no wonder that the daughter of a father like this wants to hide money. Maybe one day the father will be in a bad mood and sell his daughter. What else can he do if he doesn't hide some money?"

"This stepmother is not a good one either."

······

You Niang's father and stepmother are shameless. Even such accusations cannot make them back down, and they still entangle with Xue Zhenzhen.

"I don't care, I just want the money. A girl should obey her father at home, and my daughter should listen to me."

Xue Zhenzhen smiled very gently: "If you don't care, I will. Do you really think this is a place where you can cause trouble, Mr. Lei?"

"Hey! Here it comes."

Lei Shou appeared on Zhuque Street with a smile on his face, followed by yamen runners.

With a wave of his hand, the yamen runners pounced on him like wolves and tigers.

You Niang's parents saw that the yamen runner ran faster than a rabbit, but the yamen runner just pretended to chase him for a few steps and then stopped.

They weren't really going to be arrested, they just wanted to let the onlookers see that this woman had someone backing her up, so that no one could come and cause trouble.

There was no more excitement to watch, so the onlookers dispersed, but a few women stayed, including the owner of the rouge shop.

Since the receptionists in the Rouge Shop are mostly women, the owner is also a woman.

Seeing that everyone had left, the owner of the rouge shop walked over to Xue Zhenzhen and whispered, "Mrs. Xue, do you only recognize the real money of the person whose money is deposited in your women's bank?"

"of course."

Xue Zhenzhen glanced at the owner of the rouge shop: "But if this money really came from somewhere, it can't be stolen or robbed..."

“That won’t happen.”

The owner of the rouge shop smiled bitterly and said, "You may have heard a little about my situation. The man in my family is soft-hearted. As long as my parents-in-law cry a few times, my husband will subsidize her brothers and sisters with all the money I earn."

"For so many years, my shop seemed to make money, but in fact, none of it went to me. My son and daughter are not living as well as their cousins. My husband is like a blind man who can't see."

"Okay, you can save it, but according to the rules, I still have to ask, who will you leave the money to if you lose it?"

"My children will share equally. I won't give a cent to my husband. He has helped his brothers and sisters for so many years. He should give something back."
