The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 145 Make the Villain Gossip

Qiao Jiuxiu, Ye Duanyi and Qiao Qixiu worked hard all night, and finally read almost all the bills.Because the wife said that the turnover of the Qiao Mansion is only temporary, so it is estimated that the poor life will only last for two or three months, and it will not have much impact on their daily life.While Qiao Jiuxiu was thinking like this, she discussed with the other two. Ye Duanyi nodded. In fact, she has been very pampered since she was a child. As long as it is something she wants, her father will find a way to get it for herself, so she doesn't know at all. What does it really mean to live on poverty.

"I took a general look. In May and June in previous years, the expenditure of Qiao Mansion is not very large, the most important of which are the storage of ice cubes in the ice cellar and the expenses for worship." Because of this era There is no refrigeration tool, so I can only store the ice cubes first, and take them out to relieve the heat in the hottest summer. The ice cubes must be prepared in April and May. If the weather is hot in June and July, then prepare them , it was too late.So this expense cannot be saved.

In addition, there are many traditional Buddhist festivals in April and May. My wife believes in Buddhism and thinks that it is the blessing of the Buddha that makes the Qiao family prosperous. Therefore, this expense cannot be saved, otherwise the wife will definitely blame it. Anyone can feel wronged. , I just can't wrong the Buddha my wife believes in.In addition, there is no particularly large expenditure.And because there are no crops mature in April and May, and most of them are still preparing to plant, the income of relying on long-term workers is pitiful. Such a combination makes people feel more and more difficult. Not only can there be no way to reduce expenditure, but there is also no way to reduce income. increase, how should we get them through the difficulties?
This is indeed a question worth thinking about.Qiao Jiuxiu frowned slightly, she didn't know what to do.Qiao Qixiu on the side sighed, "Jiumei, I want to ask you a question. Do you want to solve this problem perfectly, or do you want to offend others less?"

Qiao Jiuxiu looked at Qiao Qixiu with some puzzlement, what is the relationship between the two?Or did she already think of a way to overcome the difficulty in front of her? "Seventh Sister, just tell me. As for offending others, that's not the point. Do you think we won't offend others now?" Qiao Jiuxiu shook her head. Since she had already promised her wife, she would do her best to do it well. She has never given up halfway and quit when encountering difficulties. This is not her principle of life.

Qiao Qixiu nodded, she knew that Qiao Jiuxiu would say this, but at present there is only one way, although it offends some people, but this is the only way.So he nodded and said, "Jiumei, my solution is to ask the young lady to take the lead and ask the lady and aunt in the house to donate part of their jewelry to help Qiao's mansion tide over the difficulties. When it gets better in the future, I will compensate everyone for jewelry." of."

Ye Duanyi nodded. This is a good idea. There are so many young ladies and aunts in the Qiao family. If everyone contributes a little bit, they can accumulate sand and form a tower. It will definitely help the Qiao family to tide over the difficulties, but Qiao Jiuxiu frowned slightly, "This It's a good idea, but the initiator will definitely be criticized by many people, so it's better to let me take the lead, Sister Duanyi, don't worry about anything this time."

"Jiumei, how is this possible?" Ye Duanyi said hastily, "My wife entrusted the two of us to do this. There is no reason for you to work hard alone, and I will watch the show on the side. Don't worry, it's just Just take the lead, I think I will do well." Ye Duanyi patted her chest as she spoke, looking confident.Qiao Jiuxiu sighed, but still insisted on taking the lead.

"Sister Seven, why don't you tell me who should take the lead." Seeing that Ye Duanyi and Qiao Jiuxiu couldn't stop arguing, she wanted Qiao Qixiu to help. Yes know.

"Jiumei, this time I feel that the young mistress is right, and she can only take the lead in this matter. Jiumei, you have to know that although you have a good reputation in Qiao's mansion, your status is average. If you take the lead, I will take the lead." I'm afraid that many sisters and aunts won't buy it at all, and it will cause unnecessary trouble. It's different if it's sister Duanyi. She is the eldest mistress of the Qiao family. No matter how unhappy everyone is, they will give some face."

"But...but..." Qiao Jiuxiu was still a little hesitant, thinking that this matter should be done by herself, and she was really sorry that it affected Ye Duanyi.

"Don't worry, we have two votes now, and you lose, so you have to listen to me. Let me take the lead in this matter. Ninth Sister, you can just be my right-hand man." Ye Duanyi looked at it with great satisfaction. She glanced at Qiao Qixiu, she was really smart and eloquent, and Qiao Jiuxiu didn't know how to refute her words.

"But..." Qiao Jiuxiu was still unwilling to let Ye Duanyi intervene, but now she couldn't find any legitimate reason to ask Ye Duanyi not to intervene in this matter.Qiao Qixiu pulled Qiao Jiuxiu aside, "Ninth Sister, I know you are doing this for the good of the young mistress, but have you ever thought that you will leave Qiao's mansion one day, and the young mistress must also have a day of being alone .You protect her now, what will you do in the future? So it's better to let her feel the pressure on her shoulders from now on, and let her gradually learn how to manage the affairs of Qiao's mansion."

Hearing what Qiao Qixiu said, Qiao Jiuxiu could only nod her head, well, maybe she was right.If you want to help Ye Duanyi, you also need to moderately let her take some responsibilities and let her grow up slowly.

"I convinced her." Qiao Qixiu reported her results to Ye Duanyi with great satisfaction. Ye Duanyi nodded slightly and gave her a thumbs up. "Seventh sister, you really have a way, let's talk about how to get them to donate their jewelry."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, so the three women had a further discussion on this issue together. The sun had already come out in the already gloomy sky.A new day has arrived, and they didn't even have a moment's rest last night.However, the matter of throttling has already been figured out, and the torment of one night is very worthwhile.

"Let's go, let's go and talk to my wife about the plan now." Ye Duanyi walked in front, followed by Qiao Jiuxiu.Qiao Qixiu said that she still wanted to continue her low-key work in Qiao's mansion, so she didn't go with her. She happened to be looking around to see if there was any important information.Qiao Jiuxiu was not reluctant, and went to find his wife together with Ye Duanyi.

Qiao Qixiu saw Qiao Wuxiu and Qiao Shanxiu sitting in the front courtyard, so she went up to greet her, "Hello, two sisters, I don't know what to do here, do you want to enjoy the flowers?"

Qiao Wuxiu glanced at Qiao Qixiu unhappily. She really misjudged her seventh sister before. She thought she was the kind of honest person who kept her own law and wanted to live in Qiao's mansion for the rest of her life, but she didn't expect that She actually climbed onto the high branch of Jiumei. Let's see, when Liumei gets married, Qiao Jiuxiu can only take the position of the first concubine in the Qiao Mansion. As for the other concubines , There is only reason to be bullied.She wanted to stand by Qiao Jiuxiu's side, but unfortunately, it was already too late.

"I advise Seventh Sister to find a place to sit down and don't talk or move. This can save a little energy and avoid unnecessary troubles." Qiao Shanxiu said calmly from the side.There was a contemptuous smile on his face.Qiao Qixiu gave Qiao Shanxiu a strange look, wondering why she would say such strange things in a strange way.

"Seventh sister can't understand. There were only a few dishes last night, and I was not full at all. In the morning, there was only a little snack, and even the cat ate more than me. In order not to starve to death, it is natural to have Move less and talk less, so you won’t be hungry, Seventh Sister, you’re right.” Qiao Wuxiu also sneered coldly, knowing that Qiao Qixiu is now Jiumei’s, so these words will spread to everyone. Qiao Jiuxiu's ears, but it doesn't matter, they really want to complain that their little sister has gone too far.

Qiao Qixiu smiled awkwardly, but didn't say much. Ever since Qiao Jiuxiu planned to increase income and reduce expenditure, she knew that many people would scold her, otherwise she would not have said that this matter was very offensive.But as long as Qiao Jiuxiu decides to do something, she will definitely find a way to make it happen.

"Third Sister, Fifth Sister, now is an extraordinary period, and there are some extraordinary practices, which are also reasonable. The ninth sister also lowered the standard of food, so don't pay too much attention to it." Qiao Qixiu smiled apologetically, Talking to Qiao Wuxiu and Qiao Shanxiu, she felt uncomfortable. If it wasn't for helping Qiao Jiuxiu to collect necessary information, she would not want to have too much contact with them.

Qiao Shanxiu sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone, "Oh, what did Seventh Sister say? How could we be unhappy? Ninth Sister is now a celebrity in front of my wife, and she ordered this matter. How could we Are you unhappy?" Although she spoke respectfully, Qiao Qixiu understood the meaning of the words and stood up gently, "Third sister, fifth sister, it's getting late now, I still have some things to do when I go back If you want to do it, don’t bother.”

Qiao Shanxiu and Qiao Wuxiu watched Qiao Qixiu leave, but Qiao Wuxiu snorted coldly at her back, "Hmph, I want to see how long she and Jiumei can be proud."

Qiao Shanxiu also smiled slightly, if she guessed correctly, Qiao Jiuxiu would be dealt with soon.It's not that they are cruel, if you want to blame, you can blame her for being too arrogant.A tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. This is the survival principle of all things, and no one can violate it.
