What? They are women and they understand women better!
She is also a woman, so how can she not see through the little thoughts of the three of them?
It’s a lie to want to manage the silk shop!
It’s true that I want to be with a man and control him at all times!
Besides, she doesn’t have this treatment and can go out with her husband to do things. Why should the three daughters-in-law have this privilege!
Madam Shen said seriously, "There are more people in this mansion now. I definitely can't manage it all by myself. You three have to help me share the burden."
Zhang Xinyue was unusually obedient. "Of course, I have no choice but to go. I won't go to the silk shop every day!"
Madam Shen said, “But there is work to do in the mansion every day!”
When Liu Wanyun heard this, she knew that Madam Shen didn't want them to get what they wanted!
If we continue to argue, there will be no good result!
I'm planning to compromise temporarily!
Guan Xiaoyu, who had been silent the whole time, spoke slowly, "This matter is very simple. It would be better if the silk shop continued to be managed by Grandpa, wouldn't it?"
"As for my third brother, he will help Chaonan manage the winery!"
When Liu Wanyun heard this, she was immediately happy, "We have to help manage the granary too. My Chaodong can't be the only one in charge."
Shen Chaodong comforted him, “It’s okay, I’m fine!”
Liu Wanyun insisted, "No, how can I let you suffer alone!"
Zhang Xinyue also refused to accept it. "No, it's called assistance, but as Chaobei's younger brother, what right do I have to say? I think it would be best if I could open another shop for Chaobei!"
Mr. Shen sat there, watching them chattering and arguing, and for a moment he didn't know how to make a decision!
Mrs. Shen also had a headache from the noise. She couldn't help but wonder, these three women were so determined not to let her man go, could it be that they had heard about what happened in the silk shop?
The Shen family has a total of five silk shops, two of which were her dowry, and now three new ones have been added, which are considered the Shen family's assets.
After she married into the Shen family, the shop was handed over to Shen Changfu to manage. He never asked about it and only collected money regularly every year.
She suddenly remembered that of the two concubines in the mansion, Aunt Zhao was married off by her, while Aunt Sun was brought back by Master Shen himself.
She had never asked this question before, where did they meet?
"Okay, let's put this silk shop matter aside for now! We're still arguing about it so early in the morning!"
"Two of those shops are under my name, so you can take charge of them temporarily. We can discuss how to deal with them later!"
Mrs. Shen stood up and prepared to leave!
"As for the granary and winery, you guys can handle it yourselves! I'm going to go take care of the daily chores at the mansion!"
When she reached the door, she turned around and looked at Liu Wanyun.
"When you three have finished packing, come find me at my courtyard. I'll assign some of the household chores to you so you don't have to worry about being idle!"
As soon as Mrs. Shen left, Mr. Shen called the three brothers of the Shen family to the study to discuss the details of the takeover.
Liu Wanyun, Guan Xiaoyu and Zhang Xinyue returned to East Garden together.
Leaving the maid outside, the three of them stayed in the room, dressing up again and chatting.
Liu Wanyun first asked Guan Xiaoyu, "Are you okay? I didn't see you and Shen Laoer talking at dinner."
Guan Xiaoyu was a little embarrassed. "I've cried, and it's all right now. It's just that looking at him now feels a little awkward. I must have looked horrible back then! I'm so embarrassed today!"
Zhang Xinyue comforted her, "It's okay. Everyone has moments of vulnerability. Just let it out. If he dares to laugh at you for this in the future, I'll be the first one to beat him up!"
Liu Wanyun said meaningfully, "I hope he can empathize with you and not use this to poke you in the heart when we argue next time!"
Guan Xiaoyu lowered her head. "Forget it. I don't expect men to understand. After this, I'm no longer afraid of this matter. Let's not talk about this. Let's talk about our next plan!"
Liu Wanyun quickly changed into a new outfit and prepared to put on some makeup. As she fiddled with the things on her dressing table, she said, "Did you hear just now? Auntie said she owns two silk shops."
The other two nodded.
Liu Wanyun continued, "In ancient times, when a woman married into a wealthy family, she would always receive a dowry, such as land or a shop. For someone like us to marry into a wealthy family and become the principal wife with just a few boxes, we're probably the first to do so!"
Zhang Xinyue laughed, "Because the time travel system gave us a unique golden finger, good fortune!"
Guan Xiaoyu also smiled, her smile was relatively gentle, "I know that you two just wanted to get involved in a man's career, but I think the men of the Shen family probably won't agree!"
Liu Wanyun began to apply it on her face. "This deeply ingrained mindset won't change easily. We can only find another way."
Then, she suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Zhang Xinyue, "Why didn't your man want to take over the silk shop in the first place?"
Zhang Xinyue looked disdainful. "He's just a dandy kid with no ambition. He only wants to be a hero like a knight or a general, and plays all sorts of roles at home every day. So he doesn't want to take over the family business, he wants to start a troupe and act on stage himself!"
Guan Xiaoyu said, "You want to be an actor? In modern times, it's also a good career!"
Liu Wanyun stared at the mirror for a moment, "We can help him achieve his goal..."
Then, achieve their goal!
The two of them understood what she meant instantly!
Zhang Xinyue's face showed worry. "This matter cannot be accomplished in one or two days. We need to plan it for the long term!"
Liu Wanyun stood up from the stool, pulled Guan Xiaoyu over, and started to help her put on makeup.
"Yes, considering the long-term, although the three of us were lucky enough to enter the Shen family, we don't have any dowry. If we want to have a say in this mansion and avoid being manipulated in the future, we need to have some value!"
Guan Xiaoyu said in a cryptic way, "We don't have capital, but we can get talent to invest!"
Liu Wanyun nodded. "Yes, that's what I thought too. Let's start with Auntie. She has money and a shop. Let's take her down, and then work together to take down the men in the mansion!"
Zhang Xinyue shook her head. "They say mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law are enemies, but how many of them can get along well? In ancient times, it was even worse. The mother-in-law suffered from her daughter-in-law in the first half of her life, and in the second half, she wanted to get back at her daughter-in-law!"
Liu Wanyun turned around and pushed her, "Hurry up and change into the clothes you want to wear..."
"Let's not think of her as a mother-in-law, but as an investor!"
"Once your identity changes and your stance changes, won't you be able to tolerate a lot more? Everything is for the sake of money!"
"We must be different from other time travelers. We shouldn't think about fighting Granny, but about how to transform her!"
Liu Wanyun's remarks made her two best friends feel ashamed. She is indeed an office worker and is quite good at self-PUA!
She quickly put on makeup for Guan Xiaoyu and then quickly put on makeup for Zhang Xinyue.
The three of them stayed in the room, chatting and putting on makeup for two hours.
Just when I had almost finished tidying up, Shen Chaodong came back.
Guan Xiaoyu and Zhang Xinyue said goodbye and returned to their yard with their belongings.
Shen Chaodong looked at the three people’s new makeup and fell into deep thought.
Liu Wanyun sent the two of them to the door and turned around to see him standing there in a daze.
She raised her charming little face and asked, "Brother Dong, do I look good?"
