Chapter 155: Everything is calculated
Li looked at the key in her hand with tears in her eyes. She realized that her mother-in-law had already planned it. "Mom, I can't take it. There is no mother-in-law in the village who manages the food for her daughter-in-law. Mom, you can't let your daughter-in-law be stabbed in the back."
Zhulan looked at Li, who was full of desire to survive. She was really smart, but it was a pity that she was not good enough. "With your Aunt Zheng as a role model, I am just following your Aunt Zheng. You will not be criticized. On the contrary, all the young wives in the village will envy you. Besides, you still need to think about what to do every day and I will make the decision. I am not completely giving up the power. You don't have to worry."
She hoped that her original reputation as an evil mother-in-law would be completely cleared this time!
Li, "......."
How did Aunt Zheng become the public enemy of the village mothers? Didn't mother know it? It was you who put her on the hate list! I couldn't help but tremble. Mother cheated Aunt Zheng and continued to use her without blushing or breathing heavily. She should just hold the key honestly.
Zhulan looked at the listless Li going out to cook, and she didn't feel any pain in her conscience at all. She had been taking care of the Zhou family for a long time. She had not integrated into the family before, nor did she have complete control over the Zhou family. But it was different now. With the combined efforts of her and Zhou Shuren, the Zhou family was completely in her hands.
She was finally able to delegate power, and from now on she only needed to grasp the general direction and manage the money. She finally regained some sense of modern management.
Seeing that her eldest sister-in-law was completely devoured by her mother, Zhao felt anxious. Her intuition told her that she could not return the work she had in hand. She could not help swallowing her saliva. Her eyes turned red as she tensed up. Fortunately, she remembered her father-in-law's sullen face. She held back her tears and said, "Mother, this is the account book I remember."
Zhulan took it and looked through it. Zhulan had never taught Zhao how to keep accounts, but the account book was very clear and the handwriting was good. Zhao's handwriting was like his personality. Zhao was not only smart but also a person of strong character. The second child got a great deal. He did the mental calculation of the money and found nothing wrong. "Have you learned to keep accounts?"
Zhao shook her head, "I don't know how to keep accounts. The head of the family used the money my father gave me to buy gifts, and took a piece of cloth to learn from Uncle Shujie."
Since Zhulan returned to the Zhou family, she has memorized all the people in the family tree and found out what each person did in the past and what they do now. She knew who Shujie was as soon as she heard the name. Shujie and Shuren are of the same generation, but Zhou Shuren was born later. Zhou Shujie is 20 years older than Zhou Shuren. He worked as a partner in his early years and learned bookkeeping from the shopkeeper. Later, he returned to Zhoujia Village to avoid the war.
Zhou is an expert in accounting and holds a high status in the clan. Many young people want to learn this, but unfortunately, no one except family members can teach him. Now Changyi has been taught. Even before Zhou Shuren failed the examination to become a scholar, everyone seemed to be very optimistic about Zhou Shuren!
Zhulan also had no intention of teaching Zhao the modern accounting method. She had always remembered the original character. She could say that she learned to read, but she absolutely could not bring up the new accounting method. "I remember it well. I will give you the wedding money for the yamen runners and the money for the banquet. From now on, you will be in charge of the household expenses. Let the second brother go shopping. You just need to record the accounts and show them to me at the end of the month."
Zhao was prepared and took over naturally. "I will definitely keep a good account and live up to my mother's trust."
Li heard this sentence when she came in. She had a strong sense of crisis and the second daughter-in-law's scheming. Doesn't this show that she is unwilling? Although she is indeed unwilling, she is afraid of being bullied by her mother-in-law. "Mom, I will also take care of the food. I will definitely not let you worry."
Zhulan was very satisfied. In fact, the one who was most satisfied was Zhao, who knew how to adapt. She did not leave much money, and did not leave any money for announcing the good news or for the banquet. It was probably to test Zhao. Zhao did a good job, using her own money and also writing down how much was added in the account.
About a quarter of an hour later, not only were the noodles served, but Li also fried two plates of eggs and cut up the remaining sausages at home. She brought them to the table and looked at her mother in a flattering manner. She couldn't stand being outdone by the second son's wife. Seeing her mother nod, she was happier than eating meat herself. She raised her chin and looked at Zhao. She was still the most important daughter-in-law in her mother's heart.
Zhao, "........"
I thought my sister-in-law would finally use her brain and handle the crisis, but it turns out she is still my sister-in-law!
