Text Chapter 71 Shamelessly asking
"Mother, a few days ago, my daughter-in-law discussed with my fourth brother and sister, and this year's New Year's gift is still according to the standards of previous years. Over the years, these things have been handled by the four brothers and sisters, and they have been personally guided by their mother, so they won't go wrong, mother, don't worry. When the four siblings are arranged, the daughter-in-law will show you the list. ”
Gu Jingshu, like Qiao Lixi, has always had no sense of existence, and everyone was surprised when she said so much today.
At the same time, more schadenfreude.
is so blatantly contradicting the old lady, there is a good show.
Sure enough, when Old Madam Qiao spoke again, her tone was not so good, "The fourth daughter-in-law came back and told me, when will our Qiao family need a few people to come up with money to fill the public middle school?" ”
The implication is obvious, it is Gu Jingshu's fault that there is no silver in the public school, and since it is her fault, she should naturally make up for the lack of silver.
Gu Jingshu smiled, "My daughter-in-law also thinks it's strange, she draws a lot of silver from Gongzhong every quarter, and basically doesn't use the silver from Gongzhong for food and clothing in the house, why is there no silver at the end of the year?" If the mother is not at ease, the daughter-in-law will re-examine the account books of the past few years to see what went wrong and whether she was greedy by her subordinates. ”
Old Madam Qiao's face changed, "I just asked casually, the eldest daughter-in-law is going to check the account book, what's the matter, I can't ask?" I gave it to you, and if you don't manage it well, I can still take it back. ”
Qiao Yixi wanted to argue a few words, but Gu Jingshu had already pulled her sleeve, smiled at her slightly, and then said: "The mother can take back the feed at any time, and the daughter-in-law checks the accounts, but also wants to find out the reason, so as not to make the same mistake in the future, and at the same time, the daughter-in-law also wants to prove her innocence." It's a shame to say that the mother handed over the feed to the daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law is not angry, these years, if there is no help from the four brothers and sisters, the backyard may have been a mess, and the feed has become a confused account. This year, my daughter-in-law has been sick in bed since the beginning of the year, and my four siblings have been in charge of the backyard. So when the four brothers and sisters went to Zhuangzi to find their daughter-in-law, and said that the money in the public middle school was not enough, the daughter-in-law didn't think much about it, after all, these accounts were handled by the four brothers and sisters, and I believed her. The fourth brother and sister have helped the daughter-in-law so much, I can't let the fourth brother and sister take the silver to make up for it, right? That's why I discussed with my four brothers and sisters, and the people in our rooms shared the money for this season. Unexpectedly, the fourth brother and sister were honest and took the initiative to ask for guilt in front of their mother. The daughter-in-law also didn't want the four brothers and sisters to be wronged, not to mention the efforts, but also to paste the silver, so she wanted to re-examine the account book to see which link was wrong and whether it was misappropriated by greedy slaves. ”
Who is in charge of the feed, who sticks the silver?
Okay, the feed is in the hands of the four rooms, so let the four rooms stick.
Gu Jingshu's words were all for Xue Tao's sake, but the old lady didn't give up, she had to be aggressive, so okay, just follow the old lady's wishes.
handed Xue Tao a helpless look.
She's done her best.
Old Madam Qiao and Xue Tao were so angry that they grinded their teeth!
If it was normal, Gu Jingshu would have taken the initiative to take out the silver ticket a long time ago, and now I don't know what kind of wind Gu Jingshu is smoking, she said it so obviously, Gu Jingshu was not only unmoved, but also learned to fight back!
This is provoking her majesty!
Old Madam Qiao, who thought she was offended, had a terrifying low air pressure on her body, but she couldn't find an excuse to fight back.
What can she say?
Directly let Gu Jingshu take the silver ticket?
Mrs. Qiao thinks that she is a good mother-in-law who is sensible, does not make things difficult for her daughter-in-law, does not suppress her daughter-in-law, and does not take things from her daughter-in-law shallowly.
Qiao's family is also a merchant with a head and face in Jincheng, she really wants to take silver and things from her daughter-in-law, so what happened?
Besides, in her eyes, it is one thing for her daughter-in-law to take the initiative to give silver and good things, and it is another thing for her to ask for it.
The former is filial piety, and the latter is begging.
She was not so down that she needed to ask her daughter-in-law for it.
"At the end of the year, there are a lot of things, it is inevitable that things will go wrong, the fourth daughter-in-law has always been cautious in doing things, and she has taken care of the backyard on your behalf over the years, and there has been no mistake. During this time, the most important thing is to prepare the New Year's gift as soon as possible, and let the money in the public be divided equally among the people in several rooms for the time being. ”
"According to my mother's meaning, how much will each room be spread?" Gu Jingshu climbed up the pole.
Qiao's family's expenses are not much, and the degree of food and clothing, in addition to picking from the long house, is directly adjusted from the shop.
The Qiao family was originally in the silk business, so would they be missing these?
It's just that Old Madam Qiao is also shrewd and didn't speak directly.
At first, when Xue Tao mentioned these things to her, she didn't care, after all, she was the daughter-in-law who had been in her hands for more than 20 years, and no matter how powerful she was, she couldn't escape her Wuzhi Mountain, but as soon as she fought today, she understood Gu Jingshu's changes and power.
She lost in the first round, because she didn't adapt to Gu Jingshu's changes and was not prepared, and the other party killed her by surprise.
After collecting her emotions, Old Madam Qiao started the second round.
She is Gu Jingshu's mother-in-law, and the word "filial piety" can crush her to death!
"This, how did you arrange the New Year's gift?" Old Madam Qiao didn't say a word about Gu Jingshu's question, but stubbornly asked the previous question.
Gu Jingshu couldn't avoid talking about the elders' questions, and said directly: "New Year's gift? The daughter-in-law said before, according to the standards of previous years, the key to the treasury was also brought by the daughter-in-law, and handed it to the four brothers and sisters, and the four brothers and sisters looked at the arrangement, and when the time came, the things were selected, and I just registered here. The four siblings know the relationship between us and other merchants and how to prepare gifts, and she knows what to do. If there is not enough in the storehouse, he takes money from the public and buys it separately. ”
Gu Jingshu never mentioned the treasury of the East Courtyard.
Old Madam Qiao gritted her teeth.
This vixen, when did you become so smart!
Since it is the New Year's gift of Qiao's mansion, it is natural to take the silver from the public, unless it is a merchant who has a good relationship with each house and needs to move around privately, then prepare it separately, so this New Year's gift can't take advantage of it?
If you don't pick up the skin from Gu Jingshu and don't get the silver from the long house, how can you be willing?
After a pause, Mrs. Qiao said in a high voice: "The harvest statistics on Zhuangzi are good, right?" You've been back for a month, when will the things over there be delivered? Arrive at the kitchen of the middle school early and prepare early. ”
Qiao Xingbang felt cold in his heart.
Before coming, Gu Jingshu repeatedly told him in the carriage that as long as today's affairs involve the backyard, he should not speak, so as not to give his mother a chance to attack, and leave everything to her and Qiaoqiao.
Qiao Xingbang knew that it would be difficult to come back this time, but he didn't think much about it, he just thought that his mother was unhappy because there was no subsidy for the long house this year.
But after hearing what his mother said, he understood that in the eyes of his mother and several other houses, the long-term house subsidy was a matter of course, who said that the Qiao family's property was in the hands of the long-house?
Hehe, if the money in the public is really used in Qiao's family, it is not impossible to make up for the long house, but when Gu Jingshu wanted to check the account book, her mother immediately changed the topic.
I really thought he was stupid!
These people take it for granted, and they don't take Changfang in their eyes at all, as if Changfang owes them!
The dividends drawn from the income of the shops to the public middle school every quarter are all handled by him, which is enough for the luxurious life of the Qiao family, not to mention, the food and clothing of the Qiao family's various rooms, basically did not take the silver in the gongzhong, either Gu Jingshu's Zhuangzi subsidy, or directly transferred from the shops, until now, even Chinese New Year's Eve dinner can not afford to eat?
Do you want to eat dragon meat or phoenix wings?
The Qiao family's public middle school every quarter is much higher than that of its peers, it can be said that the Qiao family's public middle school for half a year is equivalent to a year's consumption of the peers, so it can't meet the expenses of the Qiao family?
Qiao Xingbang is a businessman, and he is the most sensitive to numbers, seeing the attitude of Mrs. Qiao and Sifang, he knows that the account book of the public middle school is a confused account, and he doesn't know how much has been deducted, and how much has been divided into other rooms.
Secretly glad that Gu Jingshu had not taken care of the feed because of her health over the years, otherwise, the account book would not match at that time, and the long house would have to be filled in.
"Mother, the harvest on the Zhuangzi, the daughter-in-law wants to take some of it back to her parents' house, after all, it is the vegetables and fruits grown by the daughter-in-law who marries the Zhuangzi, and the daughter-in-law also wants her family to taste it. The rest of the ones, when we come back after the New Year, we will send them to the kitchen of the East Courtyard, we have to leave for so long, we will send them now, I am afraid that they will be broken, there is a cellar in the Zhuangzi, which can be stored. If the mother wants to try something new, the daughter-in-law will send some back later, and when the time comes, she will also send some to the rooms. ”
"Smack!"
Old Madam Qiao slapped her face on the table, obviously, she couldn't bear it anymore.
"What, take Joe in front of me? Without the things on your Zhuangzi, we can't live anymore? ”
"Mother, don't be angry," Xue Tao helped Mrs. Qiao to calm down and comforted: "Sister-in-law is also thinking about us, I am afraid that the rumors outside will affect us, you also know that sister-in-law is the most filial, and what year was not delivered to the kitchen of the public middle school?" This year is no exception. Over the years, my mother has been accustomed to eating vegetables and fruits on my sister-in-law's Zhuangzi, and I have changed to something else, but my mother has no appetite. As for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the mother does not have to worry, the sister-in-law will arrange it. ”
Looking up, Xue Tao looked at Gu Jingshu, "It's been good in previous years, if you come like this suddenly, your mother will definitely not feel comfortable, talk to your mother well, it's not a big deal." As for what you said earlier, those rumors outside, my younger brothers and sisters said something that shouldn't be said, the Qiao family has been like this all these years, those rumors have not been spread early or late, but at this time, it is clear that they can't see us well, so they deliberately said so. I think it must be because Qiao Qiao and San'er went out with Mrs. Zhenyuan Hou last time, those people couldn't eat grapes and said that grapes were sour, thinking of ways to slander our Qiao family. We can't control their mouths, how we should live, how we live. ”
Qiao Yixi blinked.
That's amazing, my fourth aunt.
A few days ago, she was so passive, but now she turned things around in a few words, and she discussed it with the old witch for a long time in private, and it was a shame that she could say it with a cheeky face.
