Chapter 204 Shh, These Are All Secrets
Lin Wanhui was stunned for a moment.
He turned his head and stared at Gu Zilu.
Ever since all the truth was revealed at the Enrong Banquet, Gu Zilu has become more and more unusual. Now he even wants Gu Changqing to sign?
Lin Wanhui still wanted to tamper with the accounts. If there was a deficit in the future, she could directly put the blame on Gu Suiyu. Not only could she get herself out of it, but she might even turn a disaster into a blessing, and then squeeze out Gu Suiyu and take over the entire Marquis' Mansion. But now, Gu Changqing has signed, and she can't use any tricks.
Lin Wanhui felt regretful, but compared to the accounts she was about to receive, she didn't say anything after all. She just rolled her eyes, calculated the pros and cons, and said no more.
Gu Zilu and Gu Suiyu saw all her expressions, and Gu Suiyu's eyes were full of sneers.
"Father, take a look. This is the money, goods, and debts in the shop..."
Gu Zilu showed all the details to Gu Changqing carefully. Gu Changqing read it once, nodded, picked up the pen and signed. After making sure that Gu Changqing understood everything about the three shops, Gu Zilu handed the accounts to Lin Wanhui.
"Little girl, keep them. From now on, these three shops will have nothing to do with my fourth sister. The losses and profits are all your own business."
Lin Wanhui smiled with a fake smile: "Brother Lu is a good manager. This family business should be managed by you, right?"
He takes care of it?
Gu Suiyu smiled and said, "I still have to take care of my studies. If you have time, why don't you bring some winter clothes to my second brother? I think you know better than us how cold the winter in the northwest is."
When Gu Ziyun was mentioned, Lin Wanhui's face changed drastically.
No one knows how cold the winter in the northwest is better than Lin Wanhui. She lived in the Su family in Hexi for three years. In the winter, water turns into ice and even toes can be frozen off.
Her mood instantly soured when she thought of her son suffering from the severe cold in the northwest.
She stared at Gu Sui Yu and Gu Zilu with disgust, but secretly swore in her heart that she must kick these two beasts out of the house!
With a cold snort, she picked up the accounts and coaxed Gu Changqing to go with her.
In fact, if you really look at it, there is not much difference between having Su Jin in the Marquis' Mansion and not having Su Jin, because when Su Jin was there, Gu Changqing only revolved around Lin Wanhui, and now that Su Jin has left, Gu Changqing still revolves around Lin Wanhui.
Is there any difference?
Really not.
And I don’t know if the other concubines understood it, but after Su Jin left, even Mei Qingqing stopped getting close to Gu Changqing. For a moment, it seemed as if Lin Wanhui was the only woman left in the entire marquis’ mansion.
"Humph, did you see her expression? If you hadn't asked your father to sign, who knows what bad things Lin Wanhui would have done!"
Gu Zilu said calmly, "The three most profitable shops in the Marquis' Mansion were given to Lin Wanhui, so Fourth Sister can now have a much easier time. This is cause for celebration."
Gu Suiyu sneered: "I want to see what kind of results Lin Wanhui can achieve. Mother is right. The family business was built by grandfather at the cost of his life. It is grandfather's property and has nothing to do with us. Only what we get with our own hands is ours!"
So, take it if you want, whatever!
Gu Suiyu was relieved of a large part of her burden, so she devoted more energy to the joint business of Su Jin and Ning Ruolan.
To build a greenhouse, he selected reliable people from the farm to manage it. Gu Suiyu even asked Tian Laosan to run back and forth. Anyway, he couldn't do farm work in winter, so he was just sitting there doing nothing...
The days passed in busyness until the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, when the New Year was approaching. Gu Sui Yu settled the money of the workers in the shop and the farm, and spread the final account directly in front of Su Jin.
"Mother, we've opened four more Su's Restaurant, a total of five restaurants, and we made a total of 33,000 taels of silver in the second half of the year..."
Su Jin held Dingdang and leaned on the small couch to admire the snow scene outside.
When it snows and there is no wind, it is not that cold. The heater is burning brightly, the floor heating is also very warm, and there is a Dingdang hand warmer in her hand. Around her neck is a collar made of a fox that Gu Zilu hunted. Su Jin is so warm.
As soon as he drank the warm water, he felt sleepy. Su Jin half-closed his eyes and heard what Gu Suiyu said about the thirty-three thousand taels.
Su Jin's eyes suddenly widened.
Among these five restaurants, three were opened after winter, right?
It has only been open for a short time. If we calculate based on this profit rate, the restaurant business alone will bring in more than 100,000 taels next year!
Tsk, so much money, I can’t spend it all, absolutely not!
Gu Suiyu was still chattering: "I also opened two more silk shops. The profit is not as high as the restaurant, but it is also more than 10,000 taels..."
Gu Sui Yu was calculating on the side. Su Jin had been lying down for a year. At the end of the year, when he counted the silver, he had received a total of 77,600 taels. In addition, there was also the harvest from the farm, and there were several hundred dan of grain. You have to know that one dan is about one hundred kilograms, and several hundred dan is tens of thousands of kilograms of grain.
Su Jin: ...
I’m rich, I’m rich. I didn’t expect Gu Suiyu to be so good at making money. Awesome, awesome.
Su Jin asked Jinchuan and Yuchuan to help with the accounting. After they were done, she said, "I agreed to give you 10%, so you can take it all. I'll give you one of the three restaurants..."
"Mother, no need. I have already opened several restaurants with the money I earned."
Su Jin: ...
Thank you for your hard work, my child. You take care of so many things and yet you can earn so much money. You are really amazing, much better than me, your mother.
"I have to thank Lin Wanhui for taking away a lot of power, which allowed me to have the energy to take care of other things."
Gu Suiyu started to sneer as soon as he opened his mouth, while Su Jin laughed on the side.
Anyway, I can have a good New Year, but I don’t know whether the Yong’an Marquis’ Mansion can have a peaceful New Year.
"How is the old lady?"
"It's okay. Grandma doesn't know anything about what's going on at home. But if she knew, I'm afraid she would faint again."
Gu Suiyu said this very calmly.
"oh……"
faint?
I'm afraid the Marquis's Mansion is about to have a banquet.
Su Jin continued to pet the cat. After all, they had already divorced, and the life and death of the Marquis' Mansion had nothing to do with her anymore.
"My little Tinker Bell, mommy loves you so much!"
Su Jin lowered his head and gave Dingdang a big bite. The kitten squinted its eyes in satisfaction, stretched its head over to rub against Su Jin. Su Jin was almost dead with joy.
"By the way, mother, Brother Lu and I will come to have the New Year's Eve dinner together on New Year's Eve. Ruolan will come too. She said she will bring her friends with her."
"oh."
Su Jin nodded. Ning Ruolan’s friends were basically Xie Huaiguang and Prince Rui. According to the plot of the original book, the marriage arranged by the Ning family for Ning Ruolan was not good, so Ning Ruolan broke off the engagement and turned around to marry Xie Huaiguang. Calculating the time, it seemed to have happened recently.
Very good, there is another show to watch.
Su Jin looked expectant, but what she didn't know was that Ning Ruolan didn't fancy Xie Huaiguang at all this time.
Isn’t Xie Zhuangyuan nice?
No, Xie Zhuangyuan is very attractive, but she is going to open a high-end club in the future. Will she be short of men?
Shh, these are all secrets, hehe~~
