Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 1011 I have a way to make money

Mrs. Shen spoke slowly: "Mingwei, logically speaking, I shouldn't question your decision, but if you make this decision, the third and fourth bedrooms will agree to it."

"If the third and fourth bedrooms don't do this, they will definitely think that you favor the second bedroom, which will cause a lot of trouble."

Bai Mingwei sat next to Shen and poured a cup of tea for Shen.

She pushed the tea cup over and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, just listen to what I have to say to you."

Mrs. Shen picked up the tea cup. Although her words were still a bit complaining, her face was full of smiles: "You have to give me an explanation."

"Otherwise, once the assets of the third and fourth bedrooms are divided, I really won't be able to be responsible for the food and drink of this big family."

Bai Ming smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, if there is no way to get the money, I will not release these assets."

"Now that we don't have so many people in the White House, if everyone doesn't have any money on hand, I'm afraid they won't feel at ease."

Shen was shocked: "Mingwei, what do you mean by how to get money? You don't know how to take bribes, do you?!"

Bai Mingwei burst out laughing: "Even if I want to take bribes, someone has to give me money."

Mrs. Shen laughed and said, "I'm just teasing you."

Bai Mingwei explained to Mr. Shen: "My grandfather advocates frugality, so the food and clothing expenses of everyone in the house are never extravagant or wasteful."

"Not to mention the amount of money in each house, there are only a few decent clothes. The money I have saved over the years is only a few dozen taels in total."

"When I showed it to Fifth Brother, I was a little embarrassed. Actually, who doesn't love a prosperous life?"

"So since returning from the border, I have been running some industries secretly. This time I called Fifth Brother back and asked him to help me manage it."

"This property is very profitable, and a batch of money will come in soon. At that time, even if the assets of several houses are divided, it can also cover the daily expenses of the family."

"Not only that, we can also give everyone in the family a monthly salary increase. Even the servants who have followed us through the most difficult times can also get a salary increase."

"When the time comes, my sisters will have beautiful clothes to wear and more money to take with them when they get married, so that they can comfort the broken hearts after losing their loved ones."

Hearing this, Mrs. Shen nodded slightly after being silent for a moment: "When you are not a householder, you don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. As a householder, I really wish that a copper coin could be broken into two parts."

"In addition, when my father and others went to war, they took away almost all the savings in this house, and the remaining money was only so much."

"Later on, we spent a lot of money on funeral arrangements. Since we can't deduct money from the people in each house or courtyard, I usually give more generously."

"Seeing that the money in my account cannot make ends meet and is getting less and less, I feel panicked all the time. Now that you said there is a way to get the money, I feel more relieved."

Bai Ming patted Shen's hand slightly: "Sister-in-law, even if you don't tell me, I still know this. Times are not good, and the most important thing is money."

"But everyone doesn't have much spare money, so it's very difficult to do this business. Although our family has many shops, they are not very profitable."

"With that salary alone, let alone a decent life, it is difficult to support such a large family. Over the years, we have been eating off the savings of previous generations."

Mrs. Shen was helpless: "Isn't that true? Otherwise, how can we say 'Three years of clearing the county, one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver'?"

"If officials don't find another way out, how can the princes in the DPRK live a decent life?"

Bai Mingwei nodded: "In any case, sister-in-law will not have to worry about money in the future. Brother Wu will be responsible for making money and depositing it into the public account. Sister-in-law will only be responsible for distributing the money to various houses."

Mrs. Shen was relieved: "This is the best news I have heard recently."

Bai Mingwei looked at Mrs. Shen seriously: "Sister-in-law, thank you for your hard work."

Mrs. Shen smiled and said: "What is hard work? If you want to survive, you have to do things. Taking care of these household chores is what I should do."

"It's not for anyone, but this is my duty. Since it is my duty, I should do it with all my heart. So you don't have to worry about me being too tired all the time." Bai Mingwei quickly agreed: "Yes, both If you listen to my sister-in-law, you will definitely have less worries and more peace of mind in the future."

Shen asked her, "Are you not going to tell me?"

Bai Ming sighed slightly: "Sister-in-law's eyes are like hawks. No matter what happens, nothing can be hidden from my eyes."

"It's not a big deal. I just met a few thieves when I was passing through the alley. There was no danger. They were solved in two attempts."

Mrs. Shen looked her up and down carefully and felt relieved when he saw that she was indeed fine.

"Sister-in-law can't help you with things outside. Be careful in everything. Don't be careless just because you have martial arts."

Bai Ming nodded slightly: "I listen to my sister-in-law."

Mrs. Shen was helpless: "You have such a sweet mouth, but there's really nothing I can do about you. It's good that you're fine."

"According to Second Aunt's temperament, the adoption should be finalized soon. I have to instruct the stewards to prepare everything needed. After all, this is a happy event and it must be handled well."

Bai Mingwei responded softly: "Okay, sister-in-law, just go. No matter what your sister-in-law arranges, I will support her."

Shen was about to get up when she suddenly remembered something.

She thought for a while and finally said it: "Mingwei, I'm a little worried about the adoption."

"Although it is an adopted child, it will eventually be included in the family tree of the family and will enjoy the same rights as the family in the future."

"If the child's character is reliable, then the second wife will have someone to rely on in the future. But if the child is not good, I am afraid it will cause countless troubles in the future."

"The first one to bear the brunt is the second wife. So I don't expect the child to have extraordinary qualifications. I just hope that he will be well-behaved, reliable, and grow up safely."

"But you leave it to the second aunt to choose. I'm afraid that the second aunt will only look at the qualifications and not the child's character."

Bai Mingwei said: "Sister-in-law's concerns are not unreasonable. In fact, I have also considered this issue."

"But after all, the second wife has chosen a stepchild. If the second wife is not the one he likes, I'm afraid that even if he chooses a good child, the second wife will feel uncomfortable with it."

"So let's leave it to the second aunt to choose. As for which one she thinks is better, it's not entirely her own choice. We can let her think who is more suitable."

Mrs. Shen immediately understood: "You little devil. I wonder if you have someone in mind?"

Bai Ming lowered his voice slightly: "Uncle Santang's family in Yanzhou has many heirs, I think I can choose one from them."

Mrs. Shen pondered for a moment: "At that time, our family suffered a disaster, and most of our relatives were afraid to avoid it. Only these three uncles did not avoid suspicion."

"On the day my father and uncle were buried, these third uncles were present. I had a brief conversation with him, and I thought he had an extraordinary bearing, his conversation was modest and elegant, and he was very decent."

"I think the descendants of the third uncle here must be excellent children. The second aunt is quite superstitious."

"Since you are interested in the children of the third uncle's family, then I will make a fuss about the horoscopes of these children. I will ask the second aunt to choose the one that she is satisfied with and suitable."

Bai Mingwei smiled slightly: "Sister-in-law understands me best."

Mrs. Shen stood up: "Stop flattering me, I have to go and get busy."

Bai Mingwei bowed respectfully: "Sister-in-law, please go slowly and see me off."

Shen was helpless, with a smile on her lips.

Bai Ming adjusted the expression on his face slightly, and then told Cheng Bi: "Go and invite fifth brother and seventh brother. Go to my study later. I have something to discuss with them."
