In the middle of the year, when the Zhao family said to the Yao family and the Cao family, it was obvious that the two of them still listened to it. Both of them are housewives, and the Gu family's years are not good, every year before the end of the year, the two housewives are indispensable to be clumsy, and think of various ways to raise money, so as to survive this year.

After all, the expenses of the New Year are big, no matter what it is, there are people everywhere who reach out and ask for money. When the days were the hardest, it was not that I didn't make an emergency with the valuable items at home as a job.

As long as the money is relieved, it can be redeemed again. Although I lost some money, I was in a hurry, and besides, when I was a thing, it was more atmospheric than borrowing money from others.

But what they didn't expect was that they worked so hard to be a family, and the big and small stewards in the house were big and greedy, and small fish!

An object of one hundred taels can be worth eighty taels when it is purchased, which means that this steward has discipline and integrity.

And those more valuable items, such as two or three hundred taels, are really too common for the steward to take advantage of a small hundred taels.

Thinking that it was originally his own money, he actually let these cheap embryos take up almost one-third, Yao felt a heartache.

It's just that she still needs these people to do things, and she can't do everything by herself. So I prepared very early, and after asking the price in the market clearly, I gave money to the stewards according to the market price.

This leaves the stewards with no room to start, how can this be done?

So these subordinates complained one by one. Some people have a relatively large face, and they ask someone to intercede until they are in front of Gu Wang. Some people don't have much ability, so they run to Aunt Dong to cry.

At least, the money given by Aunt Dong in charge of the past few days was in accordance with the practice of previous years.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, but I didn't expect that the family would be like this, and Gu Wang was no longer in the mood to hide from his leisure, so he had to go to Wei Ziyuan in person.

As for the complaints of the stewards, Yao's approach was to ignore them, as long as the task was assigned and the money was taken out, they would be asked to hand over the things within a limited time.

It is precisely because of this that the stewards have been making trouble in front of Gu Wang.

In Yurong Courtyard, Aunt Dong was talking to Gu Ming about this.

"Fourteen Niang, tell me, how did this matter come to be like this?" In fact, knowing the reason for this, Aunt Dong felt that Yao's thing was quite right. The subordinates of the Gu family do not work for nothing, they all have monthly money. Like those who have reached the level of stewardship, the monthly money is really a lot.

And every time the season changes, the house also makes two new clothes, and every year during the festival, the house also gives holiday gifts.

The house is also divided by the house, and the rice and oil used for food are ...... What is it that the house does not give?

Later, when the children grow up, the government will also arrange marriages and errands.

It's such a good treatment, but these stewards are still not good enough, and if they can't get a big benefit to do some errands, they feel unfair, so they cry endlessly, and they are passive and sluggish.

It really didn't make her figure it out. If the Yao clan can cure this kind of atmosphere in the mansion this time, it will be quite good.

For the first time, Aunt Dong hoped that this time the Yao family would succeed.

"Aunt Dong, you probably think Madame is right to do this, right?" Gu Ming gestured with the embroidered brace in his hand and said indifferently.

Aunt Dong nodded and asked, "Fourteen Niang, do you think Madame is doing something wrong?" Should it be the same as before, let those stewards take advantage of the benefits of the house? ”

Where does the money come from? It's also hard-earned back. However, it is too much for these stewards to take advantage of so many benefits just to do their own work.

"Madame, of course, this is a valid matter. Not only does it stand up, but it also makes sense, and it definitely stands on the highest point of morality. However, there are so many families in Runan, and there are many people in charge and subordinates in the family, I don't know what is going on with other people? Gu Ming said lightly.

Aunt Dong was stunned for a moment and asked, "Could it be that you let them be greedy?" ”

"It's mainly because of the different positions of the station, so the opinions are different." Gu Miao knew that she couldn't embroider today, put down the embroidery support, and said to Aunt Dong with a smile, "If you are not the aunt of the house now...... It's the family that's in charge...... Well, let's buy lanterns, she just happened to come to you, let's take her as an example. I know this mother-in-law, who usually prunes the flowers and trees at home, right? ”

Aunt Dong didn't know what she wanted to say, so she nodded stunned.

"This woman prunes flowers and trees, it's hard work, and there is no oil or water. But because of the pruning of flowers and trees, the matter of buying lanterns at home also belonged to her. So, she actually stayed up for a whole year, waiting for the opportunity to buy lanterns, so that she could make a fortune. Gu Ming said.

Actually, it's not much, but it's just ten taels of silver. It was precisely because there were ten taels of oil and water waiting for her every year that she could endure the heavy and unoiled errand of pruning flowers and trees.

In other words, although the money was paid when the lanterns were purchased, it should actually be spread over 12 months to be considered fair.

Aunt Dong was confused when she heard this, and asked, "However, they work and have a monthly payment." ”

"Yes, that's why I say Madame did the right thing, and definitely on the moral high ground. It's just that her method is wrong, otherwise, it wouldn't be like this. Gu Ming picked up the embroidered brace again and compared the patterns on it.

Aunt Dong looked at her stunned.

"She's paying according to the price she inquired about in advance this year, right? However, there are still many loopholes to be found. Although most people haven't figured it out yet, there are already smart people who have figured it out. So soon, everyone will stop arguing. Gu Ming pinched the needle and said while embroidering.

"Isn't that nice?" Aunt Dong didn't understand why Gu Ming talked about this, why there was a faint look of disdain on the corner of her mouth.

Gu Ming looked up at Aunt Dong and said with a smile: "Aunt Dong, I don't know if you have noticed that although the family is now arguing into a pot of porridge, some stewards went out with the money and did not participate in this farce?" ”

It seems so. Gu Ming didn't say anything, Aunt Dong hadn't paid attention yet, and now when she heard her say this, she recalled.

It is precisely because of the existence of this kind of person that the Yao family can have enough confidence to support the rest of the stewards in the mansion.

There are still people at home who support her, so she is not afraid of these stewards!

"There are only a few days left for the New Year, and when the time comes, Aunt Dong, you will know what is going on." Gu Ming said with a smile, lowered her head, and continued to embroider her purse, but secretly said in her heart, this year, the Gu family is going to have a lively year!

And she, she won't join in the fun!
