Chapter 8 Women should be strong

Finally, unable to hold back any longer, Mudan spoke.

"Madam, you will not please the Master by doing this."

Jiang Jiu raised his eyelids, glanced at Mudan and smiled.

"So what? At worst, you can just divorce me. Then I won't have to pay back the three thousand taels of betrothal money."

Mudan took a deep breath and said unconvincedly: "If Madam is divorced, it will be even more difficult for her to remarry in the future."

Jiang Jiu gently placed the empty tea bowl on the table and said earnestly: "Relying on the mountain will make the mountain run away, relying on the tree will make the tree fall down, especially men, relying on them is like a sow climbing a tree, it is impossible. It is better to rely on yourself and earn more money to support yourself."

"Even if the whole world betrays you, your money will never betray you."

After Jiang Jiu finished speaking, he was helped to stand up by Nanny Qian and waved his hand: "Everyone, go away. We still have to worship at the ancestral temple early tomorrow morning. As for you, I will serve tea to you in the afternoon."

"But it's hard to say. Who knows, Lu Yunyang might be out of money tomorrow morning and sell you off when he realizes the situation. That way, both of us would save trouble."

After Jiang Jiu finished speaking, he took Nanny Qian and the two maids back to their courtyard.

Mudan and the other concubines were left behind, and they began to get scared one by one.

"Sister Mudan, what should we do? If the young master divides the family property, we will really fall into the hands of the new lady. She can sell us at any time."

"That's right, what should we do? The young master was so good to us before, but now, now..."

Now that there is a new person, the young master has put these old people behind his mind.

"Why don't we go to the Madam to redeem ourselves?" one of the concubines suggested.

Mudan shook her head and said, "I won't redeem myself."

"You all know what kind of people my mother's family is like. If I don't give them money for a month, they will get angry. It's better to come to the Lu family. At least I don't have to see them, and they don't dare to force their way in."

"What should I do?"

Mudan rubbed her head and said, "Let me think about it. Let's go back first."

Jiang Jiu didn't care what the concubines were thinking. She was only focused on making money.

Lu Yunyang wanted money, but there was no money in the account book. Whoever of these concubines was willing to give it could give it to her. She wouldn't give it to him anyway.

Jiang Jiu was really pushed into a corner, and he had to sell his house, his land, his maids, and his concubines.

Anyway, she has plenty of things that can be converted into cash.

Jiang Liu asked her to marry in exchange for a new wife, but the betrothal gift from the Lu family was taken to the Chang family by Jiang Mingyue.

Why should she use her hard-earned money to exchange for freedom that doesn't belong to her in the first place?

Let him be destroyed. Isn't he just a playboy? Isn't he a spendthrift? He sold all his land and has nothing left. Let's see what else he spends.

Aunt Qian was very worried about her: "Miss, it's not a good idea for Master Lu to keep spending money like water. What if you don't earn enough to cover his spending? You can't sell the shop or the house."

Jiang Jiu: "The store is a money-making business, so it won't be moved for the time being. However, the eight concubines in the backyard are all beautiful and worth a lot of money."

Although the divorce was not successful, he got the right to be the housekeeper.

For a moment, I didn't know whether to be happy or angry.

When Jiang Jiu returned to the room, it was already late at night.

However, Nanny Qian felt that Jiang Jiu had made a great comeback.

"Miss, you have done a good job this time. The Lu family will not bring up the marriage exchange anymore. You have also gained the right to manage the household. As long as the young master needs money, he will ask for it from you. If you give birth to another son, you will be stable in the Lu family in the future."

Jiang Jiu did not accept Nanny Qian's words. What she was thinking about was not whether she could live stably in the Lu family, but how to earn three thousand taels for the Lu family.

I looked through the Lu family's account book for a long time. Fortunately, a hungry camel is bigger than a horse, so there is still room for maneuver.

The shop really cannot be sold, it is a matter of killing the goose that lays the eggs.

After closing the account book, she told Xia Zhi: "Remember the locations of these two stores and go check out the actual situation tomorrow. As long as the stores are managed properly, there is no reason for them to lose money. I want to see why they not only lose money, but also lose so much."

Xia Zhi had been trained by Jiang Jiu to be very smart.

"Don't worry, young lady. I will definitely investigate this for you."

Jiang Jiu instructed Aunt Qian again: "Go ask those concubines later what skills they are good at. I plan to let them make money with their skills."

Aunt Qian: “Okay.”

Jiang Jiu: "Chun Xiao. Tomorrow you will come with me to the Lu Family Ancestral Hall and check all the gifts for the Lu Family. Then go and have a rest. You are tired after a day of trouble."

Seeing Jiang Jiu taking off his clothes and going to bed, Nanny Qian was a little surprised.

"Ah? Miss, are you not waiting for your aunt?"

After all, it was the wedding night, and Lu Yunyang should come back to complete the ceremony.

Jiang Jiu asked Chun Xiao to remove her makeup: "What are you waiting for? He may not come back tonight. I won't wait any longer."

It would be better if I didn't come back. If I come back, I have to sleep in the same room with you and I don't know what to do with the clean white towel on the bed.

She really had no intention of having physical contact with a stranger, even though Lu Yunyang was quite good-looking.

Aunt Qian felt sorry for Jiang Jiu and sighed heavily: "Alas, the girl's life is so miserable."

After everyone fell asleep, Chunxiao quietly went out from the back door and saw an old lady reporting everything that happened to Jiang Jiu today.

When Jiang Mingyue heard the news, she was shocked.

Why didn't I think of taking over the housekeeping power? I just wanted to be virtuous, filial and obedient in front of my mother-in-law.

If she had gotten the money earlier, Lu Yunyang would have had to ask her for money every day. As time went by, they fell in love with each other. Even for the money, Lu Yunyang had to give her some money.

Not only did she stop him from taking concubines, she also got rid of those eight concubines.

If you don’t have money, can you rely on your looks to take a concubine?

Jiang Mingyue glanced at the sleeping person beside her. She had suffered a lot in her last life, so she had to learn from her mistakes in this life. She must grasp the reward from the Chang family.

In your own hands.
