Chapter 1011 Seizing Power
Old Madam Zhang, who had originally woken up, fainted again from anger.
Li Mengdie didn't indulge her either. She remembered what Mrs. Zhang said when she first got married and felt unwell, "You are so young, why are you so weak?
There is no one so weak in our family, and we rarely consult a doctor.
Besides, it's unlucky to have a doctor enter your home, so just bear with it!"
Li Mengdie glanced at the maids in Madam Zhang's room, then looked at the unconscious Madam Zhang, "The doctor just said that the old lady is not seriously injured.
"We'll make the medicine after she wakes up. Right now, life is tough at home because of that bastard Zhang Zhong, so let's save as much as we can!"
The maids quickly agreed.
Li Mengdie counted the servants in the room and said, "I remember the old lady said that the family should increase income and reduce expenditure.
In that case, let’s start with her!
Let's keep two people to serve the old lady, and dismiss the others!"
After hearing what Li Mengdie said, several maids looked at each other. The bravest one was pushed out. "Madam, are you serious?"
"When have I ever told a lie? If you want to leave, you can leave today.
But you have to pay the ransom money!"
"Thank you, ma'am."
Li Mengdie collected the redemption money from the maids and let them go.
Several young men were also eager to make a move. It was certain that the task they had originally asked Zhang Zhong to do would not be fulfilled.
It would be better for me to find another way out. I really can't stay in the Zhang family anymore.
Li Mengdie didn't say much. Anyway, all the redemption money she collected today was in her hands.
When Mrs. Zhang woke up again, there were only two maids left by her side. One was busy making medicine, and the other, younger one, was serving her.
Old Madam Zhang asked leisurely, "Where are they?"
The little girl replied timidly, "They've all left."
"Left, where did you go?"
"They redeemed themselves and returned home."
Madam Zhang almost fainted, but she still managed to hold on and asked through gritted teeth, "Who let them go?"
The little girl was frightened by Madam Zhang’s appearance, “Madam, it was Madam who asked them to leave.
Please, don't hit me, I don't know anything."
The little girl started crying, and Old Lady Zhang felt even more troubled. "Go, pour me a glass of water, and then go check if the account book I usually look at is there."
The little girl ran quite fast. After bringing the water, she placed it in Madam Zhang's hands and said, "Madam, don't look at it anymore. The account books have all been taken away by Madam."
"When did it happen?"
"While you were asleep."
"She's really rebellious. Go, call her over and tell her I have something to ask her."
The little girl ran to find Li Mengdie. Li Mengdie was looking at the account book with Zhang Yiru. The two were also discussing to check the warehouse again tomorrow.
Zhang Yiru looked at the amount in the account book and was very satisfied. "It seems that my mother really has some tricks up her sleeve. There is quite a lot of money in the account, but every time I go to her, she cries poor."
"Master, there's an old saying that the more you say you're poor, the harder it will be for your family.
My mother is the same. She clearly has money at home, but she insists on saying that there is no money.
We live in fear every day. Tell me what's going on!"
Li Mengdie looked at the little girl who ran in and couldn't help but frowned, "You said the old lady woke up and wanted to see me?"
The little girl nodded, "That's what the old lady said."
Li Mengdie pointed at the little girl's forehead and said, "What did I say in the old lady's yard just now?
I said that I am the head of this family now.
In this family now, you don’t need to listen to anyone else, just listen to me, do you hear me? "
The little girl nodded in confusion, "Madam, but I am serving the old lady. It was the old lady who asked me to come."
Zhang Yiru couldn't bear to listen any longer. "Okay, my mother is awake. If you don't want to go, I'll go check on her."
"Zhang Yiru, if you dare to go see your mother, I will go back to my mother's home.
For so many years, I have been living under your mother's control. Is it easy for me? I..."
Li Mengdie burst into tears, and Zhang Yiru was embarrassed, not knowing whether to walk or sit.
He could only vent his anger on the little girl, "My mother is already sick and confused, why are you coming here to cause trouble?
Hurry back and serve. If anything happens to my mother, I won't forgive you."
The little girl was so scared that she knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"What a fool! Why don't you go back and serve the old lady?"
The little girl crawled to Old Madam Zhang. Old Madam Zhang looked back and asked, "Where is she?"
The little girl didn't know how to answer, so she just mumbled, "Madam said she's busy and can't leave for a while."
"She's really rebelling against me."
Another maid came over with the medicine, "Old Madam, you should drink the medicine!
Madam said that life at home is difficult, and this medicine was bought with money, so you should drink it while it’s hot.”
Although Mrs. Zhang was angry, she understood that if she felt unwell, she had to take medicine. This was such a simple truth that she didn't complain this time. She picked up the bowl and drank the medicine.
"Madam, please take a good rest!
We'll be waiting outside, please call us if you need anything."
After the two of them walked out, the girl who had just boiled the medicine was two years older than the little girl. She pointed at the little girl's forehead and said, "Are you stupid?
With the old lady in this state, it will be difficult for her to be the head of the family again.
Next time she asks you to go look for the lady, you should stay outside for a while, then come back and tell her that you went looking but couldn’t find her.”
The little girl nodded with tears in her eyes, "Sister Chun Xing, when can we go home?"
"It's almost there, it's almost there. Just hold on for a few more years and save enough money."
Old Madam Zhang tossed and turned in bed in frustration. The more she thought about it, the more upset she felt. "Someone, come quickly."
Chun Xing inspected the little girl and said, "Chun Hong, whatever the old lady asks you later, just listen carefully. Do you understand?"
After Chun Xing brought Chun Hong in, she asked directly, "Old Madam, do you have any instructions?"
"I'm asking you, how did that bitch take my account book? Does the master know about this?"
Chun Xing made up an excuse that she was not there and got away with it.
Madam Zhang glanced at them and asked, "Did they really redeem themselves and leave?"
"Um."
"Forget it. I'm old now and can't care about so many things. I was thinking of giving the maids in the yard a raise these days!"
Chun Xing did not respond to Mrs. Zhang's remarks, and Chun Hong just lowered her head and said nothing.
Mrs. Zhang made a big promise, but no one paid any attention to her. She felt so embarrassed!
"Tomorrow morning, call the master and tell him that I have something to discuss with him.
Did you hear that?
Chun Xing nodded and said, "Of course I heard what the old lady said.
However, the old lady's health is the most important thing right now. The doctor also said that you can't overexert yourself right now. You should rest well!"
