After dinner, Zhao Xiaoyu did not take a nap, but went to the warehouse.
"What are these?"
"We received gifts from our relatives, some gifts from people I've been given in the past, and some things I've bought myself. I plan to divide it up and keep a ledger so we can repay favors in the future."
"I'll go get a notebook and register together."
For each item, the people below marked it, indicating who delivered it and when.
It is more convenient to return the gift by recording it in a notebook.
"Xiao Lei, shouldn't I set up a separate warehouse for you? From now on, you can manage your relationships with the students yourself, and I'll give you pocket money every month."
"No," Xiao Lei refused directly. "Don't you always say that men become bad when they have money? I don't need money. I'll need to buy pens, ink, paper and books when I go to the academy. I'll ask you for money."
"Don't you think it's troublesome to ask for money every day? Actually, you still have quite a bit of money with me."
"Those who give you money are yours. I don't think it's a bother to ask for money all the time. I'm a gigolo anyway, so asking for money is not normal."
"Xiao Lei, I've never thought you were a gigolo. I believe husband and wife are equals. Whether you marry me or you marry me, it's still the two of us living together. Do you understand?"
"I see. I was just saying it casually. I really don't need money. You know, I don't have many demands for work. As long as I have enough food and clothing, I have no other requirements. To me, money is just so I can buy you beautiful clothes and jewelry.
"Just seeing you happy and pleased with my gifts is more satisfying than anything else." It's just that he rarely goes up the mountain now, and rarely makes money.
They said that his money was with his wife, but in fact, the money the Zhao family spent on him had long exceeded that money.
He is not a fool, doesn't he know how he lives on food and clothing?
"The gift from the county magistrate's wife is a bit heavy." A set of ruby head ornaments.
"Well, I'll find a way to get back to you later."
At a wedding banquet, the gifts, big and small, totaled at least several thousand taels. She and Xiao Lei worked until dinner time to finish the list. Not only was it clearly written what each person gave, but the value was also marked at the end.
"Are you guys ready? It's time to eat."
"Right away."
At the dinner table.
Lihua didn't know why they were busy in the warehouse for so long?
"Sister, why are you registering all that? Don't you have servants?"
"Even if someone is taking care of you, you still have to be aware of what's going on, Lihua. Don't trust the people around you 100% in everything. If they try to deceive you or cheat you, you'll end up in a terrible situation."
In the past, when people raided homes, false testimony was always given by the most trusted people.
Lihua was thoughtful. Can't we trust the people around us too much?
The little girl pointed at her personal maid, who was four years older than her and could be said to have grown up with her.
"Sister, she told me that you and I are both looking for sons-in-law, but you will be in charge of the household. Not only will I suffer a loss, but I'm afraid I won't get as much money as you in the future.
She said I can't leave the Zhao family and can only live my life at your mercy. This also applies to my future children. Big sister, she is trying to sow discord between you and me. What else can she say? Generally, the wives of wealthy families will have their personal maids as concubines.
The man is her daughter? Why would she give him a woman? Is she crazy enough to soil her own man with her own hands?
She had become increasingly displeased with the girl's words recently, especially since she had more than once secretly accused Cricket's parents of favoring her eldest sister and saying that she would have limited opportunities in the future.
Doesn't she know that others don't know? Almost all the money in the family is earned by her eldest sister, and she just wants to be a happy and idle person.
Why would she need so much money? If she didn't bring it with her, she wouldn't take it with her. As long as she had enough to eat and drink, wouldn't that be enough? She believed that her elder sister would never treat her unfairly.
She used to think she was just too worried about herself and wanted to give her her best, but just now she heard her elder sister say that this person was not at ease, she was sure!
Humph, don't think that she will listen to you just because you take care of her for a few years. Compared with her family, you are nothing.
