Juan Wang's Little Lady: Nongmen hunters work hard to plow the fields

Chapter 83
After the important matter was decided, Su Lian packed up his things and sent his parents back to the city with Zhang Jianshan.Su Lian's trip would take several days, and she was worried about leaving Aji in the care of Wang's sister-in-law, so she simply took Aji with her.

Mrs. Li came to the village to live for more than ten days, and she took care of Aji every day, eating, drinking, and sleeping, and Aji also liked her mother-in-law very much.When riding in the carriage, Aji clamored to ride in the carriage with her mother-in-law, while Su Lian and Zhang Jianshan followed behind in an ox cart.

Now that they are sitting separately, Su Lian doesn't have to shy away from speaking.Along the way, she gave tips to her husband face-to-face, and let him go to Yiyuan so-and-so, so-and-so.Zhang Jianshan just listened indifferently and ignored it.

"Brother Jianshan, have you written it down?" Seeing that he didn't respond at all, Su Lian poked him, thinking he didn't listen.

Zhang Jianshan said indifferently: "Such a trivial matter deserves Lian'er's detailed instructions? But Lian'er went to Su's house to clean up the mess, don't you need me to accompany you?"

He still cared about her.Su Lian waved her hands with a smile, and said, "No need, no need, it's just a small scene."

She said that she would pay back everyone who bullied her mother.How to show the value of being kind without being a villain?

Zhang Jianshan glanced at the lady, and didn't answer any more.

As soon as they entered the city, the crowd divided into two groups.Zhang Jianshan accompanied his father-in-law and took Aji to Yiyuan, while Su Lian accompanied his mother back to Su's residence.

When Li Shi and Su Lian returned to the Su residence, the Su family was already in chaos.The head of the house was not there, and Aunt Zhao, who was the housekeeper, had also been kicked out. The servants were talking about it, and they didn't know if the monthly money owed was still paid.Seeing the mistress came back, everyone rushed forward to question Mrs. Li.

Most of these women and servants were originally bought by Aunt Zhao to help Aunt Zhao bully the mistress.Now that Aunt Zhao has been sent out, they naturally know that the house has changed.But because Mrs. Li had never gained any prestige in the past, they were used to bullying her, and they still don't take Mrs. Li seriously even today.

Seeing that her mother couldn't control the situation, Su Lian stopped in front of her mother and said with a kind smile: "Don't worry, big fellow. Since the mistress is back, she will naturally give justice to everyone. The monthly money owed will be paid tomorrow. Make it up for everyone."

"Pay a day's wages and hit the clock for a day. No money? We don't work if we don't have money!"

"that is!"

Everyone was chattering, but Su Lian just smiled and said "Don't worry, don't worry" to appease everyone.Seeing that she was so eloquent, everyone put down such harsh words as "if you don't get paid tomorrow, you will sue the officials" and dispersed.

After everyone dispersed, Su Lian helped her mother back to the room.After running around for half a day, she was already hungry, but she didn't have the heart to eat dinner. She drank some tea and ate a few snacks to fill her stomach. Then she asked her mother's dowry confidant, Nanny Chen, to find out who had been in the mansion for the past year. The ledger, I read it alone.

Li Shi asked: "Lian'er, the bitch surnamed Zhao has already cleaned up, what is Lian'er doing looking at the account book?"

Su Lian replied without raising her head: "Naturally, we want to clean up the servants and drive out all the disloyal and unrighteous people who have bullied my mother."

After all, the Su family is a small family, and there are only eleven servants in the whole house.Su Lian understood the commotion outside just now, except for Mother Chen, who was brought over by her mother as a dowry, and Zhong Da, an old slave of the Su family, the others were all Aunt Zhao's lackeys.

"Sold them all? If it spreads, outsiders will say that we treat the servants harshly, where will your father face? He will blame us again!" Li said worriedly.

Su Lian smiled slyly: "Mother, don't worry. Lian'er wants to drive people out, but also wants everyone inside and outside to be convinced and have nothing to say. That's why I need to look at the account book!"

"What can be seen in this ledger?"

"Mother, if my daughter can fight Aunt Zhao down with one account, she can also get back all the justice and face for mother with one account. Just look at it, mother!"

Su Lian remembered that just now outside, so many servants gathered around to bully her mother, she felt itchy with hatred.Among them was the maid who poured water on her at the door last time.

This mansion has changed, and they still can't figure out who is in charge and deserves to be sold.

Seeing her daughter buried in the ledger, Li felt uneasy, worried that her daughter would not be able to make up for it when she got too big, and also had some vague expectations, hoping that her daughter would help him vent her anger.

Su Lian spent an hour looking at the ledger. After reading it, she closed the ledger and stretched.

"Mother, find someone to tell the toothmaid, please come to the house tomorrow morning, we have a big business to take care of her." Su Lian said lightly.

Mrs. Li asked worriedly: "Lian'er, is this really the case? We have just managed to get the situation back, and we are going to make such a big commotion, will it be too cruel?"

Su Lian looked at her mother, and said earnestly: "Mother, even the saints say, how can you repay your kindness with virtue? When you take charge of the family again, you must first establish your prestige. You have to be a wicked person first, and then a good person, so that the people below will cherish you." Kindness. Blind kindness is nothing but a nice guy."

Li Shi sighed.Why didn't she know this truth, but she was used to being bullied all her life, so she couldn't get tough no matter what.

Su Lian also knew that her mother was weak and had to rely on her in the future.She earns more money, so that her mother's waist will be stiff, and she can raise her head high when she sees anyone.

In the early morning of the second day, Su Lian gathered all the servants of the whole family together, calculated the monthly payment one by one, paid the money on the spot, signed and stamped their fingerprints.When the servants received the money, they all smiled happily, but their attitudes were still arrogant, as if Li Shi and Su Lian owed them money, and they deserved to pay back the money, without any gratitude at all.

Su Lian was not angry, and after the money was distributed, everyone stood in two rows.

She said unhurriedly: "In the past few years, the concubine's room has been in charge of the mansion, and many things have broken the rules. Now that Aunt Zhao has been sent out by my father, you say, who should be in charge of the mansion from now on?"

"It's needless to say, of course it's the eldest lady." A servant answered with a quick smile.

Everyone followed suit.They only said that the eldest lady is weak, and when she is in charge in the future, they can still lie to the lord and run rampant in the inner house as usual.

Su Lian turned her head and asked Li Shi: "Mother, everyone recognizes that you will be in charge of the house in the future. Today, mother, can you let your daughter be the master of the day for you?"

Mrs. Li agreed and said: "Today, Miss Yi will have the final say on all matters in the mansion."

Su Lian sat in front of her, with an awe-inspiring aura.

"I looked through the account books for the past year yesterday, and there are many things I don't understand. I hope you can give me your advice."

As soon as the words were finished, the matchmaker was ushered in by Nanny Chen.When the servants saw the matchmaker, they panicked. It seems that one or two of them will be sold today, and they don't know who is the unlucky one.

When Cui'er, the maid who once poured dirty water on Su Lian, saw the matchmaker, her legs shook so badly that she couldn't stand still, her knees softened, and she knelt down.
