"Shut up!"
Old Madam Shen's eyes were so sharp that even Third Uncle's grandmother was frightened into silence.
"Are the records in this account book true?" she asked.
Everyone was silent.
There was no way to refute it because the account book recorded it too clearly, with the time, place and even the reason. Moreover, the things were indeed in their hands, so there was no way to deny it.
Old Madam Shen gritted her teeth in anger, but what made her even angrier was Yang Zhao.
How does she manage the household expenses?

She was afraid of being criticized in the future, so she deliberately gave her complete control. In the eyes of outsiders, it seemed that Yang Zhao was the one who wanted to support the Shen family.
She thought that even if someone wanted to accuse her Shen family of eating the dowry of the 'married daughter-in-law', she would have a reason to refute it. After all, they were willing to take it out for them to eat and use, and it was not a shameless request from her Shen family.
