Chapter 20 Let's Wait and See



This is a description and list of Chen's dowry. He couldn't help but sneer in his heart, banished thousands of miles away, but these things are kept!

Wen Yu saw that her father was looking at her seriously, but she felt sad and ridiculous in her heart.

This man was well-educated, had a stable official position, and knew how to protect his mother since he was young. In theory, he was a very decent person.

But he actually did such shameless and cruel things for a woman.

Old Madam Wen simply treated Wen Yu as a serious person to talk about business: "Your mother's dowry is divided into two parts. Grandmother has some, and your father has some. The ones in grandma's hand are all some objects. Ornaments, jewelry, cloth, medicinal materials and so on. They are sealed in the warehouse and have not been moved.

It’s just that after so many years, some things may have weathered and been damaged. I’ll give them all to you after your eldest brother’s wedding! Then, you can check the inventory. If there is anything missing or damaged, just tell grandma and she will replace it for you.”

"I appreciate your kindness, grandma. But as for these things, over time, some of them will be lost or damaged, which is reasonable. Even if mother takes care of it personally, it is inevitable. Whatever is revealed is what it is, and your granddaughter will not say a word."

She cares about property, but what she cares more about is her mother’s rights!

It's a slap in their face!

The old lady glanced at her eldest son. She was raising Wen Yu, so she was not hungry or cold. But she could say these words, with courage and spirit, and she was a bit like herself...

If Wen Yu knew, she would say: Bah! I don't look like that! "Your father owns the shop and the land. You are a girl and your uncle is not here. What are you going to do if you take over?"

"Grandma, I plan to manage the business myself. So, we need more manpower and a place that is convenient for going out."

The old lady was also confused. What a foolish girl! How could this be easy? "You, you can check the accounts and manage people?"

"She will know a little bit, and my granddaughter will study hard." Wen Yu was very calm.

The old lady didn't believe it at all! However, she thought it was not important... Leave it to her first...

"As for manpower, as for the original ones, see if your father has other arrangements. If not enough, ask your second uncle and second aunt to provide some. If still not enough, you can buy or hire some. As for going out... Once you have arranged it, grandma can also agree to it!"

There were so many things that were against the rules, but the old lady could agree so calmly. Wen Yu felt that it was strange that it went smoothly. However, let's take it one step at a time!

"Grandma, I want to hand over the nuclear products first. At the same time, I want to add more people. With more people, I can arrange things at home. Even if I go out occasionally, I will be safe with the carriage and guards. Father, I don't know if you have other plans for the people in the shop."

"The manpower will not be moved for the time being. However, many of them were carefully trained by my wife. In the future, they will definitely have other uses." Wen Qian said, looking at the paper.

Wen Yu nodded: "Since my wife has carefully nurtured them, it is not a good idea for my daughter to keep them for too long. I can give my daughter a list. If there are any that are short of staff and cannot be opened, it is not a big deal to close them first."

So don't try to control me with your hands! "Grandma, my granddaughter needs a house in the front yard. See the steward outside. Don't let them enter the inner yard!"

When the old lady saw this, she thought of a lot and said with a smile, "Look!" She looked at her eldest son and said, "This girl has such courage. If she were a boy, our family would have nothing to worry about!"

Wen Qian didn't respond. He finished reading the list and said, "This list is basically correct. However, the business I own has changed over the past ten years. I was too busy to take care of it, and some of it suffered losses. I'm in a hurry to go to Beijing, so I'll give it to you after your eldest brother's wedding. If there's anything wrong, we can discuss it later when your uncle is here."

The old lady was determined to help her son make up for it: "Managing a business will result in losses and gains. Your father's first priority is official business, and these are just things he did out of convenience. So, Wen Yu, don't have too high expectations."

Wen Yu nodded: "My granddaughter understands these principles. Besides, raising a granddaughter will cost the family a lot of money. It is only natural that my mother's dowry should be used to raise my daughter."

After hearing this, the two heads of the family looked at her, not knowing how to react...

"But, father," Wen Yu added, "these properties must be consistent with the accounts. You cannot default on debts, including the silver and goods owed to others, and the regular silver and dividends of those who help manage the property.

If the shop is rented out, the daughter can refuse to pay the previous rent. However, the pre-collected rent that is due from now on must be paid back.

The user fees must be based on the previous standards and cannot be changed at the last minute.”

The old lady and Wen Qian were a little surprised. She was talking so clearly. Was it also taught by her uncle? That shouldn't be possible, right? How could this be taught in a short time?

The old lady nodded and smiled, "Don't worry! Grandma will make the decision for you. But, as a girl, it's very risky for you to do this. Not only will it affect your reputation and safety, it will even affect your sisters! If something unexpected happens, your uncle will ask me and your father. How will we answer!?"

Wen Qian's heart paused for a moment, but he showed no abnormality.

"Don't worry, grandma. Uncle has made these very clear. He approves of his granddaughter no matter what she is like."

"That's good! What you asked for is too special, so your grandmother and your father have to be careful. Let's decide this for now. But don't tell anyone yet.

In the next two days, write down the people you want. If they are from home, ask your second aunt to help you find them. If they are from outside, your grandmother and your second aunt know reliable middlemen. It’s very cheap whether you buy or hire them.”

Things went unexpectedly smoothly, which made Wen Yu a little excited. After everything was settled, Wen Yu bowed and left, waiting for her to leave.

Wen Qian looked at her back without saying anything.

The old lady's smile disappeared and her face darkened. Haha... After all, you are just a child, what have you seen? Do you think you are strong enough?

Do you have a backer?

If you dare to do this to me, just wait and see!

After Wen Yu returned to the room and was with Yan Zhu, she did not hide anything and told Yan Zhu in detail what had just happened.

Yan Zhu listened seriously, blinked, and was quite confused.

Wen Yu asked, "What's wrong?"

"Zhuzhu is curious, how can it be so easy? If they really treat the girl well, why didn't they treat her well for so many years? But if they treat the girl badly, how can they return such a large sum of property just like that?"

Smile gently.

"Girl, this is really strange! Even if you said that the Wen family has had a good life in recent years, who would complain about having too much money? In these years, apart from the clothes and jewelry that the family already has, what else have they given you? Moreover, you asked them for it, not that they took the initiative to give it to you..."

"My dear Zhuzhu, you are so smart!" Wen Yu hugged her. Although Yanzhu was older than her, as someone who had lived two lives, she treated her as her own sister.

"Zhuzhu is not smart, but she is pretty." Yanzhu said proudly.

"It doesn't matter. Just take the first step. Then, we can deal with it as it comes."

"Okay, Zhuzhu will accompany you, let's just wait and see!"
