Mo Yunmei looked around nervously, her eyes darting about, and mumbled, "You're making me sound so bad, like I'm stealing and cheating!"

Grandma Mo snorted, "Don't you know your place? I'll just say one thing: if you have money, go buy it; if you don't, don't buy it. You're asking me for money? I don't have any!"

Mo Yunmei persisted, "I don't need much, just give me five hundred coins, okay?"

Old Mrs. Mo was blunt: "I have no money!"

After saying that, he turned around and went into the house, not wanting to deal with this idiot.

Mo Yunmei chased after her, "How could we not have any? Our family makes and sells breakfast every day, and we come back after selling everything. How could we not have any money? Mother, you just don't want to give me any money! I don't need much, just one tael! They say our Mo family can earn several taels of silver a day!"

Grandma Mo suddenly stopped in her tracks and her face darkened.

Mo Yunmei wasn't paying attention and couldn't stop in time, almost crashing into it. Old Mrs. Mo, though old, was still quite agile and dodged to the side.

"Who told you that the Mo family earns several taels of silver a day?"

After Mo Yunmei regained her composure, she looked at Old Madam Mo and saw that Old Madam Mo's face was dark, as dark as the bottom of a pot. This was the prelude to an impending storm!

He panicked instantly, his hands involuntarily twisting the hem of his clothes, and he lowered his head, not daring to look Old Lady Mo in the eye.

Old Mrs. Mo roared, "Speak!"

The sudden high-pitched voice startled Mo Yunmei, who hurriedly said, "It wasn't me who said it! It was Sister Qiuxia and Jinhua who said it!"

"Oh!"

Old Mrs. Mo gave Mo Yunmei a cold look as she slowly moved backward. "Is that still a young lady? You're blind and insensitive! Do you even know what a young lady is? Those women are already married to other men. Don't tarnish the reputation of young ladies!"

Mo Yunmei pursed her lips. If she didn't say that, would her mother have gone for her?

They're right, she really can start preparing her dowry!

Since her mother didn't prepare any dowry for her on the surface, she had to find a way to save up for it herself!

Any method that works is a good method!

However, it turned out that her method was ineffective.

Seeing that she showed no remorse, Old Lady Mo gave up on correcting her, flicked her sleeve, and turned to go into the room.

Mo Yunmei also got angry and resisted Old Lady Mo. She refused to get up in the morning and stubbornly stayed in bed to continue sleeping. She was determined to fight a silent war to the end!

However, she overestimated herself. Since she didn't care about saving face, Old Lady Mo dragged Mo Yunmei out of bed. When she saw that Mo Yunmei was still trying to climb back into the room, she splashed a basin of cold water on her from head to toe.

Alright! Now everyone's awake. Even the sleepiest person is no match for cold water, and Mo Yunmei is wide awake.

Grandma Mo picked up the basin and said, "Hurry up and wash up. If you dawdle any longer, watch your feet. Don't jump around!"

Mo Yunmei wanted to continue sleeping, but she was soaked from head to toe, how could she possibly sleep!

There was no other way but to get up.

While eating breakfast, seeing Su Nanxi leave by herself, she asked, "Where is she going?"

Grandma Mo glared at her, "Eat properly if you're going to eat, or give the food to the pigs! Mind your own business, why are you worrying about others!"

Mo Yunmei quickly lowered her head and ate, but in her heart she thought, "Can't I even ask a question? If I see something strange, I have to ask!"

Grandma Mo ate quickly, put down her chopsticks, and said, "Finish your meal quickly, then get back to work!"

Mo Yunmei replied impatiently, "Okay!"

Hmph! I don't care about her, why don't I care about that ugly hag!

That ugly freak is probably out partying again. Nobody cares, and he's not afraid of squandering all the family's money!

Mo Yunmei was right; Su Nanxi had indeed gone wandering around again. She wandered into the town, and she was all alone!

With money in my pocket, I can buy whatever I want!

Su Nanxi went to the carpentry shop first. She didn't expect the furniture to be finished so quickly. She just couldn't wait to check on the progress!

The carpenter told her that it would take a few more days to complete the entire project and asked her to wait a little longer.

Su Nanxi waved her hand, "It's alright, as long as it's finished and delivered before the deadline!"

She guessed that it was probably not finished yet, and she didn't want to put pressure on the carpenter. What if he cut corners?

After the carpenter learned that Su Nanxi only wanted to come and take a look, he finally felt relieved and repeatedly assured that he would definitely do the best and deliver the finished product on time.

Su Nanxi nodded in satisfaction, then turned and left.

Chen Liang was busy in the accounting room when he suddenly felt a strong airflow and the room became darker. Before he even looked up, he had a guess in his mind.

Aside from his employer, there shouldn't be anyone else who would appear here so mysteriously looking for him.

Stopping what he was doing, he looked up and, sure enough, the boss had arrived, still dressed in a cloak.

"Boss, you've finally arrived!"

Chen Liang put on a smile and walked over.

Su Nanxi tilted her oversized hat back and nodded to Chen Liang.

She came to check on the store's operations, whether it was breaking even, and what areas needed improvement.

Chen Liang gave a very self-conscious introduction and even took out the account book for Su Nanxi to look at. He knew that his boss would come at any time and he had to be prepared at any moment.

Su Nanxi did not refuse, sat down, and began to examine the account books.

This ledger isn't the kind used in ancient times, because Su Nanxi felt it wasn't detailed or complete enough. She specifically found a modern ledger to use for her shop's accounting.

Chen Liang had been using ancient accounting methods for decades and had developed a fixed way of thinking. When he first received the account book from Su Nanxi, he was resistant. He didn't want to change his old habits, but he couldn't refuse it all at once, so he decided to try it out and then find an excuse to say it wasn't working after a few days.

However, after Chen Liang used it for a few days, it was great. He actually got the hang of it and used it very smoothly. He felt it was very easy to use, so he continued to use it.

Later, Su Nanxi taught him a simple accounting method. Although it took some learning, it was really practical, fast and efficient!

To verify its correctness, he secretly used the original method to calculate it again, and it turned out that everything was correct!

And so, he decisively chose the fastest and best method!

I am very grateful to Su Nanxi, and I am also glad that I made the right choice!

Su Nanxi checked the ledgers and reconciled the accounts quickly, since the business hadn't been open for very long, so it didn't take too much time.

Chen Liang secretly admired his employer, thinking how capable he was to review the accounts in such a short time!

They also know where they went wrong and where they didn't remember things in enough detail!

After reviewing the ledger, Su Nanxi marked it with a pen and signed it.

No one can imitate her handwriting because she doesn't sign with a brush!

Chen Liang was amazed again. What was this thing? It was so small and could write without ink!

Wow! His employer always manages to surprise us!

He also wanted to take a look, but he didn't dare to ask and could only watch helplessly as his employer put the pen into his sleeve.

Su Nanxi remembered the major news that had come today, took out a piece of paper, and handed it to Chen Liang.

"Master, you're looking for someone with good education?"
