They could do without the pens and ink, the paper, or even choose not to listen to Xu Qingshan's teachings, but they dared not gamble with their future. They could not miss the chance to be on the list. This was their only way to leave this impoverished place of Bai County.
Seeing that everyone had started to eat, Gu Yuanniang and Xu Qingshan also glanced at each other. In the past, he just ate a few bites casually and never thought that the food he brought from home could be so delicious.
Staring at Xu Qingshan eating, Gu Yuanniang also smiled. If it were in the past, she would naturally be afraid and agree with what those people said today, but now she understands that she also has to be brave and have her own broad world.
"The activities of the shop on the east side can be cancelled, and the cooperation with Boss Zhang should not continue. They are not honest at all, and they are just for the reputation of the flower house. Also, there is something wrong with the accounts of the shop on the west side. Is there something wrong with the purchasing staff? You go and have a look. Also, the quantity of the rouge shop is wrong. The shopkeeper has been replaced. He is not an honest person."
After hearing every word said by Shisiniang in front of her, Xu Miaomiao was stunned holding the paper and pen in her hand. She had thought that it was already very easy for her to check the account book with modern methods, but she was still shocked by the ability of the woman in front of her to flip through the account book quickly. She didn't know what to record with the pen in her hand.
These things are all concise and to the point, every word and sentence is to the point, pointing out the most serious issues. If she had this ability and could see the problem at a glance, she would surely not have ended up like this today.
After Lady Fourteen finished speaking, she looked at Xu Miaomiao next to her. Seeing that she was still stunned, Lady Fourteen smiled slightly: "What's wrong, are you scared?"
Xu Miaomiao was indeed like that. She was shocked that the little girl who was so happy just now for a hairpin turned out to be such a person. The contrast was too great. However, it was understandable. Lady Fourteen supported such a big industry alone, so how could she be a mediocre person.
"I'm not scared, I'm just a little shocked. Lady Fourteen is really fast at reading the account book, and she was able to point out these problems right away. She's really amazing."
"Madam Xu, what you said is right. It's just that the reason I can read the account book quickly is because I have seen it since I was a child. My father has taught me this since I was a child. The problems in the store are the same, so they can be easily solved."
There was no intention of being proud. Shisiniang was just narrating the most ordinary thing in her life, but Xu Miaomiao was a little shocked. She knew that she was different from Shisiniang, and she didn't expect that the attention would be so great.
"Fourteenth Lady, long time no see."
A sound came from downstairs. Xu Miaomiao and the woman in front of her looked down together, and saw a man holding a fan in his hand, waving it and walking towards Xu Miaomiao and the others.
Shisiniang also smiled and looked at the man in front of her: "I'm so grateful that you, Mr. Wang, have come to visit me. This brothel of mine is really a great honor."
Hearing the woman's polite words, the man smiled slightly and bowed to Shisiniang in front of him.
Seeing the awkward exchange of greetings between the two of them, Xu Miaomiao felt that something was wrong. Sure enough, the man's expression suddenly changed in an instant, and he looked at Fourteenth Lady in front of him with murderous eyes: "Is this young lady the new helper that Fourteenth Lady has recruited?"
"No."
As the woman said this, she stood in front of Xu Miaomiao, blocking the man and Xu Miaomiao's sight. Although Xu Miaomiao didn't quite understand, she knew that the two of them didn't get along.
"Fourteenth Lady, our two families have always cooperated well. Now you suddenly say you don't want to cooperate anymore. What do you mean?"
Listening to the man's words, the smile on Shisiniang's face did not diminish. She was not afraid of the man's momentum in front of her at all. She immediately said, "This is all decided by the previous generation. Now this flower house and the Yun family are my property, so it is naturally up to me to decide."
"But I heard from the people in the Second Prime Minister Yun's family that they are still very willing to cooperate with me. Fourteenth Lady, why did you disobey your uncle? After all, you are a woman, and these properties will be handed over to the men of the Yun family sooner or later. Why are you doing this now?"
The man in front of her was obviously a smiling tiger. Although he had a smile on his face, his words were full of sarcasm towards Shisiniang.
It's just that she, a woman, shouldn't be here.
"Since you have understood everything, today, Lord Wang, I will also make it clear to you. This brothel and these properties all have the surname Yun, but it is Yunfei's Yun, not his Yunmu's Mu. This is the foundation that my father worked hard to save. Now that my father is gone and my brother is still young, their second branch wants to swallow up these properties. There is no reason for this. As long as I, Yunsi, am here, they will not succeed."
"Rebellious girl, what are you talking about!"
A voice came from outside, and the man saw that he had some stubble on his chin and was holding a cane in his hand. A young man stood next to him, proudly demonstrating towards Shisiniang.
"I am your second uncle after all. Even your father, my eldest brother, treated us well when he was alive. But you, a rebellious girl, treated us like this. I have already told you that you are still young and should not be here. These properties should be kept by our county. Are you afraid that we, your closest relatives, will covet your family property?"
Xu Miaomiao just found it ridiculous when listening to the words of the man in front of her. Isn't it obvious whether these people want to covet other people's property? As expected, their small shop would have so many problems, let alone Shisiniang's.
"That's right, cousin. When my uncle was alive, he said that he would not ignore our second branch. But what are you doing now? You have directly cut off our second branch's livelihood. Uncle let me be the shopkeeper in the brothel before. What's the meaning of driving me away? For such a small amount of property, do you even give up family affection?"
Every word the man said was very sharp. Moreover, once these words were spoken, they completely portrayed Shisiniang as a heartless and ungrateful person who did not care about the feelings of sisters and only wanted to take all these properties for her own selfish desires.
If this news were to get out, Shisiniang's reputation would probably be ruined.
