The Fang family's residence is much more lively than before.
Because Mrs. Fang wanted to open the bank, it was a very troublesome thing, especially since the account books had never been touched. The thick stack was sent to her. Mrs. Fang personally went through it for four or five days and picked out a few accounts.
The next step is to wait for the other party to deliver the car loaded with silver.
Deshengchang naturally had a car, but Mrs. Fang just said to wait for the other party's car to arrive. Several days passed before the car was delivered, and it was obvious that it was newly built.
Although no one knew the origin of this guest, everyone guessed that he was an important person.
"The amount of money to be withdrawn must be huge."
"Otherwise, there would be no need to use the Tianzi Library."
"Maybe the entire Tianzi Library is prepared for him."
“There are quite a few cars.”
Such discussions were heard from time to time in Deshengchang.
This is also a rare and big event for the guys.
Although there was talk, it did not affect the business of the bank. Everything was the same as before and everyone was doing their job. When someone came in with a banknote, the greeter came forward and the banknote was delivered to the counter, but the silver was not delivered as usual.
"Curry said the account is closed." said the clerk, with a layer of sweat on his forehead.
The guys were stunned when they heard this.
If the account is closed, doesn't that mean the bank has stopped doing business? How is that possible?
The door was pushed open with two bangs.
"Want to close the account? Why didn't the shopkeeper tell me?" the manager at the front counter asked with a frown.
The treasury manager held the teacup and drank tea slowly.
"This," he said, "was ordered by the Second Miss."
Second Miss?
"How can the Second Miss seal the vault?" The manager at the front counter was stunned.
The treasury manager put down the teacup with a crisp sound.
"Hey, Old Wei, are you saying that the Second Miss doesn't care about things?" he said.
The second young lady is of course in charge.
Not to mention that before Fang Chengyu recovered from his illness, the two young ladies worked in the bank, and Old Madam Fang raised them as sons. Even after Fang Chengyu took over the bank, the two young ladies not only did not return home, but the matters they were in charge of became more and more important.
The bank's cash vault has always been in the hands of the second young lady, Fang Yuxiu.
With her seal, Fang Chengyu doesn't even need to be involved.
The manager at the front counter looked solemn.
"Why did the Second Miss want to close the storehouse?" he asked, "was it the old lady's idea?"
The keeper of the accounts shook his head.
"Why don't we know? We are just following the orders of the Second Miss." he said.
we.
The front counter manager's face turned green.
"You mean, all the ticket numbers will be closed?" he stammered.
The keeper of the accounts shook his head.
"Of course not," he said.
The front counter manager breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment the words of the accounting manager made him blush again.
"It's just the bank account managed by the Second Miss." he said.
That’s a lot! There are at least ten in Zezhou alone!
The bank suddenly stopped exchanging money. This had never happened before since Deshengchang was founded, not even when Old Lady Fang and Great Master Fang died.
"This is a big deal." said the manager at the front counter.
What is the second young lady doing?
Also, does everyone in your family know about this?
No one at home knew about it.
Old Mrs. Fang was busy with the Tianziku matter. Mrs. Fang had always been confident in her two daughters, so it was two days later before she received the news.
The news had spread like wildfire outside, and many people even surrounded the ticket office.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Mrs. Fang thought she had misheard. "I never said I wanted to close the warehouse, and neither did the old lady."
"Madam, of course you didn't. It was the Second Miss." Yuan stamped her feet and said, "Not only the Second Miss, but the First Miss also made trouble and asked the accountant to seal all the books."
Fang Yunxiu has been in charge of the accounts, and she is indeed able to close the accounts.
Mrs. Fang blinked and felt like laughing.
"Why don't I understand?" she asked.
"The shopkeepers didn't understand either. They thought it was the family's intention, so no one dared to ask." Yuan said, "It has been delayed until today, and they can't stand it anymore. This matter is really a big deal, so they came to ask, but the people at the door actually stopped them according to the orders of the two young ladies."
Is it really like this?
Mrs. Fang's expression gradually darkened. This matter did not seem to be a joke.
"Thanks to their intervention, the managers outside felt that something was wrong and tried to pass the news in." Yuan said hurriedly, "Otherwise we would still be kept in the dark."
Mrs. Fang slammed the table.
"Call them," she shouted.
Yuan-shi hurried the maids away, and they came back soon.
"The two young ladies went to the old lady's," they said, looking uneasy, "and seemed to have had a quarrel."
"The old lady must know about it too." Yuan said hurriedly.
Mrs. Fang did not hesitate and took Yuanshi with her as she hurried over to Old Mrs. Fang.
As soon as I entered the yard, I heard the sound of teacups being smashed.
"Do you know what you are doing?" Old Mrs. Fang was furious, looking at the two granddaughters sitting in front of her.
Fang Yunxiu stood up immediately, looking uneasy and her face flushed and white.
But Fang Yuxiu still sat there quietly, with a calm expression and a cup of tea in her hand.
"Do you know what this means? This is a huge mess." Old Mrs. Fang said angrily.
Closing the account and not redeeming the bills was something a bank would do only when it was short of cash and unable to make ends meet. Such a big bank like Deshengchang suddenly doing this must have attracted countless attention.
Especially at this time, it is most important to avoid other people's attention.
Are these two girls crazy?
"What are you thinking about?" asked Mrs. Fang.
Fang Yuxiu put down the teacup.
“Grandma, our intentions are simple,” she said. “We just want a guarantee.”
"What guarantee do you want?" asked Mrs. Fang.
"Grandma, you promised us before that you would raise my sister and I as your sons, so we should also have a share of this family property," Fang Yuxiu said.
Family property?
Are you trying to fight for the family property?
Mrs. Fang was stunned and felt it was ridiculous and a little dazed.
We are on high alert against threats from outsiders, but now there is trouble at home?
Or two daughters?
"How dare you!" Mrs. Fang could no longer bear it and hurried into the room and shouted.
Yuanshi hurriedly drove away the servants and maids in the courtyard under the corridor.
But it was too late. The windows and doors were wide open, and the beaded curtains and gauze were hanging down, allowing the words inside to come out. The maids and servants were horrified and retreated after Yuanshi drove them away. But Yuanshi knew that the news would spread throughout the house immediately.
It is so absurd that two young ladies are fighting over the family property.
What is this?
Yuanshi patted her chest with her hand.
"What's so outrageous about this?"
Facing her mother, Fang Yuxiu remained calm and composed, just like her usual character.
Compared to the dull Fang Yunxiu and the rude Fang Jinxiu, Fang Yuxiu is the smartest and most clever one, and the one that Old Lady Fang and Grand Madam Fang have the highest hopes for.
But the smart and clever person he seemed in the past, now seemed cold and lacking in human warmth.
Fang Yuxiu had a faint smile on her lips and her eyes were cold.
"Mother, we are a family, but we have to talk business. My sister and I have done a lot for our family and the bank over the years." She said, "Now my brother is getting better, and now he has received an award from the court. Our Fang family can be said to have finally gotten what they have suffered. My brother is not young anymore, and we are not young anymore. The next step is to get married. Now that my brother is at home, it is not easy for us to stay at home and find a son-in-law. If he gets married, does the bank count as a dowry?"
Old Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Fang looked at her in astonishment.
"Yuxiu, how do you think of these things?" Old Madam Fang took a deep breath and asked with a somewhat inquiring look, "Who taught you this?"
Otherwise, how could a healthy granddaughter suddenly become like this?
Fang Yuxiu leaned back in her chair.
"Grandmother, of course you taught me that." She took the fan and waved it gently. "Didn't you tell me when you were fighting for the family property with your mother's family and my great-grandfather's family? Women in our Fang family can't let their emotions get the better of them. Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly. When it comes to money, we can't recognize any relatives."
Old Madam Fang's face turned ashen. She pointed at Fang Yuxiu and wanted to say something but couldn't catch her breath. She plopped back into her chair, shaking all over.
"Mother." Mrs. Fang rushed over.
Yuanshi outside the door didn't dare to listen anymore. She shouted for a doctor to come and rushed in.
Maids and servants filled the house, shouting and yelling, and Old Lady Fang's yard instantly fell into chaos.
Fang Yuxiu still sat comfortably in the chair.
"You are so cruel." Fang Yunxiu said in a low voice with a pale face.
Fang Yuxiu said "Oh".
"Women in our Fang family are meant to be ruthless," she said. "Only if you are ruthless to yourself can you be ruthless to others."
Fang Yunxiu looked at Old Lady Fang who was surrounded and could no longer hold back so she stomped her feet forward, walked a few steps and turned back, looking at Fang Yuxiu with some uneasiness and anxiety.
"You, you don't really think so, do you?" she asked in a low voice hesitantly.
Fang Yuxiu smiled, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
