The daughter of the splendid good fortune is respected

Chapter 373 The Shocking Inside Story (4)
"Don't worry, old lady, my grandson will definitely not let old lady down." Xiao Mingzhen solemnly promised.

Xiao Mingzhen turned around and nodded solemnly to Tan Shi, hoping that Tan Shi could rest assured.How could Mrs. Tan be relieved.Everyone will be wary of this, so naturally they dare not touch her.After the old man came back, no one would be afraid of her, the old man could slap her to death with one slap.No, she must find a way to solve the current predicament.

Mrs. Xiao looked at Mrs. Xie again, and Mrs. Xie said immediately, "Don't worry, Auntie, I will send someone to send the silver over today. However, our Dongfu's financial resources are limited, so we can only give 2 taels. Please forgive me, Auntie." .”

"Your East Mansion is very rich, and the second sister-in-law only paid 2 taels. Could it be that in the eyes of the second sister-in-law, the second master Xiao is only worth 2 taels of silver?" Liao said darkly.

Mrs. Xie smiled and said: "The four younger siblings misunderstood. We have money in the Dongfu, which is also the private money of my old lady and the old man. How dare I touch it as a daughter-in-law. Then there is the 10,000+ taels of silver that my sister-in-law took away. Some of it belongs to our Dongfu. Our Dongfu is magnanimous, and we don’t care about it. We don’t want any interest money. How much money will be spent at that time, just deduct it from our Dongfu’s share. Four brothers and sisters, look Are you satisfied with this treatment? To say that our Dongfu is stingy would be wronging people."

Liao Shi had nothing to say, snorted, and said nothing.

Xie blessed Fushen, "Auntie, the matter has already been set up, so the nephew and daughter-in-law will go back and prepare the money first. The rest of the things need to be taken care of by the auntie."

"Second daughter-in-law, it's hard work for you to make a trip, go."

"The nephew and daughter-in-law will leave first."

Everyone dispersed, Liao Shi and Xiao Maoheng returned to the fourth room, Liao Shi said unwillingly: "Let's forget it, just let sister-in-law go like this, it's too cheap for her. Master, you have to think of a way. Sister-in-law did such a thing, if she can't be beaten to death this time, she will have no chance in the future."

Xiao Maoheng wasn't worried at all, "Don't worry, the old lady can't touch the sister-in-law, and the situation will be different when the old man comes out. By the way, you said that the sister-in-law has such a big hand, why didn't we hear any movement beforehand. The sister-in-law said It's really secretive. Fortunately, the second sister-in-law got the first chance, otherwise we would all be kept in the dark."

"What's so strange about this. The house is controlled by my sister-in-law. Those people who do things, as well as the stewards, are almost all arranged by my sister-in-law. Apart from jumping around in our own yard, when we go outside, we become Blind and deaf. Besides, only a few confidantes will know about such things. We can't pry those people's mouths open, so naturally we have no way of getting the news. Besides, my sister-in-law is used to whitewashing the peace. Everyone thinks she is capable. Huh, she is too capable, and she dares to put loan sharks outside. If this is in the capital, the censor will immediately join the book of the Grand Master. I don’t think the official position of the Grand Master may be able to do it. Keep it."

Xiao Maoheng nodded, "What you said makes sense. I think my sister-in-law is obviously unwilling, and I don't know what she will do."

"As the old man said, when the old man comes out, hmph, I'll see how my sister-in-law is still jumping around. It's not easy to take her power away." Liao snorted coldly.

The confidant girl came in to report, "To my lord and wife, Grandma Jia is here. She said she wanted to pass a few words on behalf of the eldest lady."

Liao Shi and Xiao Maoheng looked at each other, Tan Shi's action was really fast enough. "Go, invite people in. I want to see what other tricks my sister-in-law can play."

Nanny Jia came in, without talking nonsense, and directly put 1 taels of silver bills on the table.

Liao frowned, "What do you want to do? Bribe us? My sister-in-law's thinking is too simple."

Grandma Jia was not afraid of the two of them at all, and put away the bank notes again.Xiao Maoheng frowned, "Hey, you damn old woman, what do you mean?"

Nanny Jia said with a straight face: "My wife said that the 1 taels is a promise to buy the fourth master and give the fourth wife a promise. After the old man comes out, I hope that the fourth master and the fourth wife can settle their suspicions against the eldest house. In the future, the eldest house will have Naturally, the benefits of the four rooms will not be lost."

"Ha, what do I think is the matter? It turns out that the sister-in-law is still delusional and wants to continue to be the housekeeper. You tell her, she is just dreaming. The eldest room hasten to tidy up and hand over the keys and account books. I am waiting for the housekeeper." Liao sneered.

Grandma Jia was unmoved, "Fourth wife, my wife asked the servant to ask the fourth wife a word. Can the fourth wife of the Xiao family take care of it? How many people can the fourth wife have in her hands? Even if the fourth wife is in charge of the house, Can you instruct the people below to do things? My wife is in charge of the house, and she can give 5000 taels to the fourth house and the third house in a year. The fourth wife is in charge of the house, and I am afraid that the annual income is only 4000 taels, and she has to bear various risks. I have to work hard, does the fourth wife think it’s worth it? It’s better to let my wife continue to be in charge of the house, or let the eldest and youngest grandmother be the housekeeper. As long as you are still the housekeeper of the eldest house, you can guarantee the benefits of not less than 3000 taels to the fourth house every year.”

"6000 taels." Xiao Maoheng offered the price.

Liao stared at Xiao Maoheng, "Master is confused. Needless to say, Nanny Jia, I will not agree. You are right, I don't have many people available, but as long as I wait for my housekeeper, I will Replace all those disobedient people, one by one, with people I can order with confidence. I don’t believe it. By that time, I won’t earn [-] to [-] yuan a year. My sister-in-law is capable, but I’m no worse than my sister-in-law Too much. Mammy, please go back, our fourth room will never compromise. You go back quickly, so that sister-in-law can die as soon as possible."

Jia Nanny looked at Xiao Maoheng, Xiao Maoheng hesitated, and shook his head again and again, "What I said before is nonsense. Listen to the fourth wife, she is right. Our fourth wife is capable, so why should we take money from your first wife?" .”

Mother Jia was not discouraged, but continued to lobby: "The 1 taels is just a little sincerity from our wife. Our wife said that as long as Sifang agrees, my wife will share [-]% of the profit from usury for the past two years." How about giving it to the fourth housekeeper? Thirty percent of the interest is quite a lot. Presumably the dead wife and the fourth master have a debt in mind."

Xiao Maoheng was moved, and the interest of [-]% was at least [-] taels.Xiao Maoheng looked at Liao Shi, Liao Shi frowned, "Are you still going to give it to Wufang?"

"Of course. We must obtain the consent of the fourth and fifth families, so that my wife can continue to control the Xiao family, and can send money to the fourth house every year. Fourth wife and fourth master, my wife has shown great sincerity, don't you still Do you want to refuse?" Nanny Jia looked at the two of them firmly.She believed that no one could refuse such a generous offer.

Although doing so would cost a lot of money at once, as long as Dafang is still in charge of the Xiao family, the money will be recovered sooner or later.

Xiao Maoheng was moved, but Liao Shi was hesitating.Xiao Maoheng wanted to agree, but the Liao family pulled Xiao Maoheng to prevent Xiao Maoheng from expressing his opinion. "Grandma Jia, we can't decide on this right now, we need to discuss it. Let's go another day. We'll reply in two or three days. How about it?"
