Lin and Bei Yutang stood at the gate of the courtyard and watched Fu Yi Bo leave.
After Fu Yi Bo left, Lu He came back with a basket.
"Miss." Luhe handed the basket to Wang Po.
Lin came forward and said, "Let me see if you have bought everything."
Lin opened the basket and bought everything according to her requirements. "How much did it cost?"
"Madam, the total cost was three hundred coins." Lu He replied with a smile.
Lu He has been serving the young lady since she was a child. Today is her first time going out to sell vegetables. She is a little nervous, worried that she may not buy good ones.
"Three hundred coins?!" Lin screamed.
Lu He was shocked by her behavior. "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Lin said sullenly, "These things only cost a hundred coins at most. How did you spend the three hundred coins?"
Lu He was also frightened. She stood there at a loss for a moment, looking at Lin and then at her young lady anxiously.
Bei Yutang said, "Mother-in-law, Lu He has been with me since she was little. This is her first time buying groceries, so it's normal that she doesn't know the prices. This extra hundred coins will teach them a lesson. Don't get upset over this little money, or I, your wife, will feel bad."
Then she turned to Lu He and said, "Next time you go, be more careful. The extra hundred coins will be deducted from your monthly salary."
Lu He knew she was wrong, but she didn't dare to feel wronged. She just nodded in agreement.
Bei Yutang said to Nanny Wang, "Madam Wang, you should go shopping for groceries from now on. Your eyes are much brighter than those maids like Lu He. No matter who you are, no matter what kind of goods you buy, you can spot them. I feel at ease with you shopping for groceries."
Nanny Wang responded, "Yes, Miss."
This morning, when Mrs. Lin asked Lu He to go out to buy vegetables, Nanny Wang told her to go, but Mrs. Lin insisted on letting Lu He go. They were servants, and Mrs. Lin was the young lady's mother-in-law, so they did not dare to disobey her.
Lin said, "Ah, let me, an old woman, go. I'm familiar with this area and can buy good vegetables at a low price."
In the previous life, because of this incident, Lin drove Luhe and Hongmei out of the Fu family, and at the same time used this as an excuse to hand the money for buying vegetables to her.
The money for buying vegetables was all paid from Bei Yutang's dowry. At first, Lin didn't give much, but gradually she gave more and more. Knowing that the original owner didn't understand these things, she deliberately said that the vegetable harvest outside was not good and the price had increased.
The original owner didn't understand these things, and the other party was her mother-in-law. She was not a stingy person, so naturally she gave her as much as she wanted.
Bei Yutang had just spoken and eliminated Lin's excuse to drive Luhe and the others away. Now she had seen the opportunity and wanted to take the money for buying groceries.
Bei Yutang said sympathetically, "How can this be possible? Mother-in-law, you should just stay home and rest. Let the people below take care of this."
How could Lin let her subordinates go? She was still thinking about making some profit from it. "I am destined to be a hard worker. I can't do anything idle. Buying groceries is not a hard job."
Seeing her insistence, Bei Yutang reluctantly agreed, "Then I'll listen to my mother-in-law."
When Lin heard this, she smiled happily.
In the afternoon, Bei Yutang called the two maids and the old woman into her room.
"I think it's not a good idea for the four of you to live in one house. Later, go out and ask Aunt Wang and Aunt Liu how much it would cost to renovate the house and expand it."
