Chapter 80 I'm Not Stupid

Chapter 80 I'm Not Stupid

The old lady was naturally happy to hear Mother Wen's praises, so she made the decision to let Su Jin manage the Marquis's property.

"Well, that's settled."

"I'll go and get the lady!"

Mother Wen turned around and walked out, but Zou waved her hand and stood up directly: "I'd better go over there myself, it will look better."

Look, she took the initiative to go there. This is such a great honor. The lady will definitely be grateful and take over the property of the Marquis' Mansion.

As Zou was thinking, she walked out contentedly, and asked someone to take the accounts on the table away. As she didn't have the energy to look at them, she gave them all to the eldest lady.

At this time, Liuting Pavilion was also very lively.

An Xiaoniang was outside making some medicine, which was just prescribed by Imperial Physician Zhang. He adjusted the prescription to suit Su Jin's symptoms of fatigue.

Gu Sui Yu was also here with Su Jin. She embroidered a double-sided fan for Su Jin, which was perfect for hot weather.

"You are very filial."

Su Jin was very happy. The gift didn't have to be expensive, as long as it was thoughtful. At least Gu Sui Yu was not an ungrateful person and knew how to give her something.

"I, your daughter, don't have anything good to give you. The only thing I can give you is my embroidery. Why don't you ask Sister Yuchuan to teach me how to massage so that I can massage your legs and feet."

Su Jin nodded. Well, this is a good idea. After all, there is never too many people to serve.

"Madam, the accounts have been calculated. The silk shop's inventory has been completely cleared out. Excluding the cost of making soap, the cost of materials, labor, etc., the shop has made a total of 11,120 taels in the past few days."

“Pah.”

The handkerchief in Gu Suiyu's hand fell to the ground, and she looked at Su Jin in amazement.

She was a young lady from a marquis's mansion, and her monthly salary was only two taels of silver, but her mother earned more than ten thousand taels in just a few days? ?

Is this world magical? Is it so easy to make money?

Gu Suiyu was extremely shocked, but Su Jin corrected him: "You still have to deduct the sixteen advance payments of five hundred taels, so it should be three thousand one hundred taels."

Gu Suiyu's jaw dropped.

More than three thousand taels is a lot, okay?

She was just shocked at first by the ten thousand taels, but now when she heard it was more than three thousand taels, she didn't think it was much. Oh my God, is this a huge amount something that someone like her who earns two taels a month should think about?

Gu Suiyu lowered his head and pinched his eyebrows.

"Okay, let me calculate it again. These advance payments will be left until the end of the year?"

"Um."

Su Jin nodded. From beginning to end, he did nothing except opening his mouth.

As they were talking, a maid came outside to report that the old lady had arrived. Everyone stood up to greet her, but Su Jin did not move.

Is the old lady the kind of person who would drop by casually?

Even if it was, it wouldn't be her own door. She was just a daughter-in-law. Who has ever heard of a mother-in-law visiting her daughter-in-law for no reason? After all, Gu Changqing had his own yard and didn't live here.

So, one would not come to the temple for no reason. The old lady came to Liuting Pavilion in person at this time. Is there something wrong?

Su Jin lowered his head and coughed. Jin Chuan subconsciously turned her head and saw Su Jin lying directly on the small couch. Jin Chuan knew what was going on and didn't even bother to greet him. She immediately ran over and fetched out a thin quilt and quickly covered Su Jin with it.

Su Jin is so happy, and it has to be you, Jin Chuan, you are the one who has the best vision.

The quilt had just been covered when the old lady came in. Jin Chuan was still bent over. Seeing that she could not avoid it anymore, she bent her back and pretended to tidy up the quilt for Su Jin. When she turned around, Jin Chuan's eyes were red and she looked like she had just cried.

Everyone in the room was confused.

Gu Sui Yu was confused. He didn't understand why his mother suddenly lay down. Wasn't she sitting and talking to him just now?

And why is Jinchuan crying? It's as if her mother is dying. What's going on?

Gu Sui Yu was full of questions. She was not as good at acting as Yuchuan. At least now Yuchuan had turned around to close the window.

Outside, An Xiaoniang was boiling medicine, and the bitter smell drifted in through the doors and windows. Zou saw Su Jin lying on the bed and Jin Chuan's eyes were red. What else didn't she understand?

Zou's nose felt sore, and she quickly came over to sit down, took Su Jin's hand, and said softly: "Madam, are you not feeling well again?"

Su Jin "weakly" opened her eyelids, and when she saw it was the old lady, she was about to stand up. Zou quickly held her down, and Su Jin was about to speak, but unfortunately as soon as she opened her mouth she burst into a rapid cough, which made her face red and her eyes moist, making her look like a sickly beauty, even more pitiful.

"I've made my mother cough cough cough...worry...cough cough..."

Zou frowned and said angrily, "How did you serve the Madam? She was fine, how could she become so ill? Did the imperial physician come when we asked him to come last time?"

The old lady was angry, and everyone became nervous. Jin Chuan said, "Old lady, Imperial Physician Zhang came and said that the Madam was overworked. He told her to have a good rest and not to take care of the shop anymore. He also told her not to go out too often. What she is taking outside now is the new prescription that Imperial Physician Zhang has prepared."

Zou: ...

Suddenly there was silence.

Look at this, how could it be so unfortunate?

Zou was in a very depressed mood.

Now she wants Su Jin to be the housekeeper, but Su Jin is not in good health. She thinks he is not as healthy as her. It's really...

"Mother came to see... ahem, to see my daughter-in-law. My daughter-in-law's illness, ahem, has almost healed. I don't know if mother is here, is it?"

Su Jin covered her mouth with a handkerchief and looked at Zou with her watery eyes tiredly.

Zou felt like a thorn in his throat.

How do you say this?

But, I have to say it, it's only a matter of time.

"You should take a good rest and get well first. Once you are well, I will hand over the management of the Marquis's Mansion to you, okay?"

Zou thought that after she told this, Su Jin would be very happy, and maybe his illness would be cured immediately. However, the reality was that after she said this, Su Jin was shocked for a moment, and then he started coughing heart-wrenchingly, and it seemed that his condition was even worse.

Zou: ...

Is this too much joy? Is this a bit too much reaction?

In fact, Zou didn't know that Su Jin was covering his mouth with a handkerchief and picking his throat, while cursing the old lady in his heart.

Don’t you like to be a housekeeper? Then continue to be one!

It has been twenty years since you mentioned handing over the family business to the original owner. If you have the ability, don’t give it to Su Jin now!

To be honest, she herself was too lazy to manage the shops and farms under her control. If the money she earned was not too little to spend, she would not bother to bother. Now she has to manage them, and she has handed them all over to Jinchuan and Yuchuan. She just sat back and enjoyed the fruits of her labor, and now she is asked to manage the family business of the Marquis' Mansion? ?

Oh, does she have a penny from the money she earns?

No!

Chunchun is just working for others in vain. If he does a good job, it's his due, but if he does a bad job, he's considered incompetent. Chunchun works hard but gets no thanks and gets nothing in return.

She doesn't want to do it!

I'm not stupid!
