It is difficult for a bank that has been running for many years to suffer losses, right? Unless -
"Since she took over, the head of the farm moved the account books of three rooms to her, and took dozens of keys and two or three small cabinets on the wall. Now three months... it seems that we have lost 67 taels, right?" Xiong Youyou's eyebrows relaxed, "My servants are not capable, so how can we make a profit? Naturally, the more we work, the more we lose, the less we work, the less we lose, and if we do nothing, we lose nothing."
"In the end, Cui Heng made up the difference, and even gave me an extra thirty-three taels to buy a pearl hairpin, to make it even."
"After that, my mother-in-law didn't want to hand over the power of housekeeper to me, so I let her do what she wanted. I just told her what I wanted to eat and what I wanted to buy. A few days ago, she was crying in front of Cui Heng, '...she wants to eat both chicken and eggs, and she wants to eat the chicken coop until there are no more descendants. She has been married for more than half a year, and our monthly household expenses have increased by several taels of silver!'"
Xianjin laughed, "What did Master Cui say?"
"Cui Heng just said, 'Official duties are already very heavy, how much money can a few melons and dates earn? It is really shameful for a county magistrate to scold his wife because of a chicken.' His mother cried again, and Cui Heng got annoyed and said, 'If you can't manage the household expenses, leave it to you!' - His mother dared not say a word."
Xiong Youyou smiled and said, "Later, his mother wanted to punish me even more. She proposed to give Cui Heng a concubine. I said okay, but it would cost five taels of silver to buy a concubine, and at least one tael of silver as monthly allowance. And she would have to be paired with a little maid, right? She would have to get a new room to live in, right? She would have to take care of her three meals a day, two snacks and one soup, right? After a quick calculation, his mother realized that she would have to spend at least ten taels of silver as a base, and she was so angry that her face turned green."
"Then he wanted to give his personal maid to Cui Heng, and proudly told me that I didn't need to buy a personal maid and didn't need to increase the monthly salary, and that it was a good deal. I sent her to Cui Heng that very night." Xiong Youyou spoke slowly and with ups and downs, as if she was telling someone else's story.
Fat Huahua forgot to eat the cakes after hearing this, and kept asking, "Then what? Then what?"
Xianjin frowned, "This is an adult matter, big kids, just eat yours."
Xianjin reached out and calmly covered Pang Huahua's ears, raised his chin, and motioned Xiong Youyou to continue: Go ahead, I'm ready to listen to the pornographic text.
Xiong Youyou laughed and said, "In less than a quarter of an hour, the man came back."
Such a short time...?
Xianjin wanted to blurt out.
Fat Huahua couldn't hear, but eagerly looked into Xianjin's mouth, trying to learn lip reading in an instant.
For the sake of the children, Xianjin held it back.
Xiong Youyou put the hot tea on the table. "My mother-in-law bought the cheapest maids in the mansion to save money. It was a blessing if two ears, two eyes and a nose were fully grown. The girl she sent was so dark that she could turn invisible and fight ghosts at night. Cui Heng...is not that filial."
"That girl didn't want to be a concubine in the first place. She clapped and sang all the way when she was sent back. She was as happy as if it was New Year's Day. After this, her mother-in-law definitely doesn't want her anymore. I see that she is so happy and cheerful, so I just keep her by my side."
"As a result, my mother-in-law sees her every day, and the more she sees her, the more annoyed she becomes. In recent days, she has had fewer opportunities to find fault with me."
"I even changed this girl's name." Xiong Youyou said softly.
Xian Jin asked, "What's your name?"
"Zhong Kui." Xiong Youyou said seriously, "Door God, keep away the evildoers."
Xianjin couldn't help laughing.
Xiong Youyou’s strategy is, do whatever you want, as long as you don’t provoke me, I won’t stop you. Apart from the real gold and silver in the dowry, the land deeds and the people, even if you want the moon in the sky, she will send someone to ask Chang’e if she will sell it to you.
She took the money and asked, so you have no right to blame her!
Chang'e won't sell you, you have to find Chang'e. If you hit Chang'e, you can't hit her anymore!
The main theme is heartless indulgence. If the indulgence goes too far, the mother-in-law's son will naturally come forward to correct the chaos and do his best to restrain her.
Xianjin smiled and said, "The Cui family is annoying, aren't you angry?"
Xiong Youyou shook her head gently, "I'm not angry. I never expected anything from Cui Heng. How could I be disappointed if I didn't have any expectations?"
Xiong Youyou saw it clearly and spoke in a steady voice, "Love is a chain and a bondage. How many men can there be who respect and love my aunt like my uncle? Being a woman is not easy, and it is easiest to be dominated by love. Looking back a hundred years later, I can only sigh that if I just live my life seriously and control my overflowing emotions, I can't imagine how happy it would be!"
Xianjin was stunned for a moment, and then nodded in agreement after a while.
I didn't want to get married in the first place, and after hearing what Xiong Youyou said, the unmarried and childless shopkeeper He was really scared to death online - he felt even more hopeless about marriage!
Qiao Baoyuan, who was far away in the capital, sneezed twice in a row, "A-choo, A-choo" and touched his nose in confusion, feeling a little puzzled.
