Chapter 391: Labor
Zheng Rin rubbed his chest and honestly admitted his mistake: "It's the husband's fault, next time the husband will definitely put the two little cubs on his mother's side." ”
Guo Mianmian was so angry that she wanted to hit someone, did she mean this intention? She slept for a while, for fear that her parents-in-law would know what they were doing.
She was limp and didn't have the strength to hit people. In the end, it was Zheng Rin who served her diligently and diligently. After arriving at the dining hall, under the urging of a few ignorant children, she sat at the dining table and ate three full bowls of rice in one go, so frightened that Meng almost snatched her bowl.
After the meal, Guo Mianmian's energy was much better. She was angry in her heart, so she turned around the group instructed by Zheng Rin, let him wash it all at once, let him boil the bath water at once, and let him bathe the two babies at once...... In short, all the pinched words that can be called are used.
Zheng Rin's busy feet did not touch the ground, and he had no complaints as always.
If you let others see it, you don't know how to say it behind your back, for fear that within a day, the village will spread the word that Zheng Rin's husband is not up.
Old man Zheng and Meng Shi saw everything in their eyes, but they didn't say anything. The matter between the little two, they have always been unmixed.
Zheng Rin did all the work, Guo Mianmian was bored, and he didn't take a nap, and after putting the two little ones to sleep, he turned over the account books that he hadn't touched for half a year.
Since the Lantern Festival came out, she hasn't taken care of the accounts, and the accounts every month are taken care of by the Hu account room, and then handed over to Zheng Rin to check together, so she will take the money even if she collects it.
However, two workshops were built in a row before, and the entry and exit of the accounts all relied on paper records, which inevitably made some omissions. And this account is somewhat messy and complicated, and it is easy to lose your footing if you are negligent.
Guo Mianmian first calculated the account books for March and April, and when he saw that all the amounts were correct, he couldn't help but nodded, and he appreciated the ability of Hu Ledger the most. It's just that when she was calculating Pu Yue's account books, she noticed some small problems.
Worried that she had made a mistake, she carefully calculated again, and still obtained the same result as before: the difference between ten taels of silver did not match.
Although ten taels of silver is not much for Guo Mianmian, the payment of labor costs is more than 1,000 taels per month, and the payment of materials is not much less than labor costs, who can guarantee that this time it is less than ten taels, and next time it is not a hundred taels or more?
With this question, Guo Mianmian continued to calculate the accounts for June, and this month was a full thirty taels less. If it is said that the lack of ten taels of silver in Pu Yue is accidental, then it is not normal to have less money for two months, not to mention that the accounts are the most faint, and it is impossible to see it at all if you don't look carefully.
Guo Mianmian did not believe in evil, and checked the account book for July that was sent only two days ago. This check was correct, and another thirty taels of silver were missing. Just looking at the books, she almost can't see her background, if she wasn't careless, she might really be fooled.
If the accounts of a certain month are not correct, it can be said that they are coincidental, then the amount of three months is not right, no matter what. Whether someone has swallowed the silver or made a mistake in the accounting room, it is necessary to find out the truth, and it is not possible to raise the hearts of a certain person or some people, and steal the workshop that was built with great difficulty.
When Zheng Rin came back from washing, he saw his daughter-in-law with a black face, and stepped forward with some surprise and asked, "What's wrong?" "Isn't it deflated yet?
Guo Mianmian pointed to the three account books in question, and said depressedly: "We have lost seventy taels of silver in three months, which clearly means that we are fools." ”
Zheng Rin's expression changed, with obvious anger: "I have calculated the accounts every month, and I don't notice the problem, someone must have made false accounts and deliberately did it." ”
"Hmph, if I find him, I'm going to make him spit it out for me." Guo Mianmian said bitterly.
She asked herself that she was not bad at a few account offices, and her welfare benefits were a few points higher than most of the accounts in the county. For example, the monthly silver of Hu Ledger has already risen to three taels, and there is also a lot of praise at the end of the year; Several of his deputies are not low, and each of them also has two taels of silver, and at the end of the year, there is usually a reward in response.
I didn't expect this favor to be repaid as it should be, and sure enough, it was a total of people behind him. As soon as this person made a move, he was seventy taels, which was enough for an average family of five to live for several years. If he hadn't noticed, who knew if this man would have become more and more greedy, and in the end her workshop would have worked for him.
Zheng Rin was also angry, more self-blaming: "I'm sorry, if I had been more careful, I would have noticed the problem earlier." ”
The ledger has been with him for the past few months, and he has made the final settlement every time. The man shot three times, but he didn't notice it once. If it weren't for Ye Er's occasional detection, this cave wouldn't know how long it would take to be able to detect it.
Guo Mianmian glanced at him: "It's not your fault, are you taking your body on yourself." ”
Another person will question that it is her husband's action to collect money to raise a woman inside, but the person in front of her will not know it, so does she blame him? What's more, this account is the most secret, and she occasionally noticed that something was wrong, and only realized it after several calculations.
Zheng Rin smiled slightly and rubbed the top of her hair: "This matter is handed over to the husband, and this person will be found out." ”
Guo Mianmian shook his head: "Wait a minute, I'll call the Hu account room over and ask tomorrow." ”
Zheng Rin said: "You question the Hu account room? ”
"No, I didn't question him, anyone in a few accounting offices could do it, but he wouldn't." Guo Mianmian has the most trust in Hu Ledger, and trust is not done by him.
Hu has made accounts for her for two years, and there has never been a problem with the accounts in his hands, especially before the construction of the workshop, there is a lot of cash every day, and it is easy to get the silver from it, and it is not easy to be discovered, and there is no reason to be stupid enough to start the workshop after it is built.
Zheng Rin didn't know much about Hu's bookkeeper, he trusted his daughter-in-law's eyesight, so he said: "Then I will ask him first, and he will handle this matter by the most woman." ”
Several of the deputies were friends or disciples of Hu Ledger, and he knew best what the character of each person was. Let him handle this matter himself, not only to let him know the trust they have in him, but also to let a few deputies know that the Hu account room will not cover up, regardless of whether there is a psychology or not.
Guo Mianmian nodded, thinking the same way.
The next day, it happened that Hu Ledger had something to find Zheng Rin. As soon as the matter was handled, Zheng Rin didn't let him go, and soon Guo Mianmian noticed it in the study.
Seeing Guo Mianmian, Hu Ledger was a little unexpected. Since Guo Mianmian gave birth to a child, she hasn't asked much about things in the workshop, so the two haven't seen each other for a while. Seeing that Guo Mianmian was holding a few account books in his hand, he didn't think much about it, he just thought that there were accounts that were not clear enough to ask him.
Guo Mianmian was holding the three problematic account books in her hand, and she handed the account books directly to the Hu account room without empty words: "I don't know a few places in it, I hope the Hu account room can solve my doubts." ”
Hu took the account book, looked through it and asked, "I don't know where the shopkeeper is not clear?" ”
Guo Mianmian said with a smile: "You should check this account before handing it over, right?" Why are there several mismatches in the account books of five, six, seven and three months? Then he took the account of March and said, there is a place where 5,000 embroidery needles are worth 12 taels of silver, why is it that in a month, these 5,000 embroidery needles are gone, and in June there are 3,000? I remember that in the past, the monthly consumption of embroidery needles did not exceed two and a half thousand? ”
Workshop people are miscellaneous, do tiger head shoes and use different thickness of embroidery needles, monthly consumption is very normal, in case someone will be public property for private use, the embroidery needle will be secretly taken home, so the workshop has clear rules, each person per month consumption shall not cross two, once the number is crossed, it will be deducted from the remuneration.
Not only embroidery needles, but also small objects such as thimbles and shoe cones are also average, which do not seem to be very valuable, and there are a lot of people in one set, and these consumption will cost dozens of taels every month, and the related rules are still formulated by the third aunt and Zheng Dacheng, which is to prevent someone from taking these things home without authorization.
It was also Guo Mianmian's careful heart that he saw that the consumption of embroidery needles was twice as much as before, otherwise he really wouldn't have imagined that people who were greedy for ink would really make a fuss about these small things that were easy to be sloppy.
"Dong, shopkeeper, this thing, this thing is not done by me......" Guo Mianmian's question made Hu Accounts realize what was wrong, and he couldn't say a complete sentence importantly.
has been under Guo Mianmian for more than two years, Hu Ledger doesn't say how much he knows her, he knows that she won't be untargeted, and he must have confirmed it again and again before he said so.
He also saw Guo Mianmian's methods, for fear that she would question her head. For a person who was implicated by the previous shopkeeper and was almost imprisoned, what he wants most is not prosperity, but a safe and stable life.
In the two years since arriving at Zheng's house, Hu's life in the account room has been unprecedentedly comfortable. He was grateful for Guo Mianmian's kindness, let his family settle down in Shangzheng Village, not to mention, and give him generous treatment, so he was cautious and didn't dare to make the slightest mistake.
It just so happened that he found those people, and even if he finally found out that he didn't do it, he couldn't escape the blame. If so, if it is a breach of the trust of the owner...... Thinking of the result of this matter, Hu Ledger turned white.
"Hu Ledger, don't worry." The acquaintance is almost over, Guo Mianmian spoke to comfort the Hu account room: "The workshop can have the current appearance, you can't be without it, we all remember it in our hearts, and we also believe that the matter of greedy ink has nothing to do with you." ”
The head of the Hu account, who was hanging in his heart, breathed a sigh of relief, and arched towards Guo Mianmian with shaking hands: "Thank you for the trust of the shopkeeper, Hu is really ashamed!" ”
Guo Mianmian shook her head: "This matter has nothing to do with the Hu account room, the Hu account room is nervous, it's just ......" Speaking of this, she frowned, as if there was something unspeakable.
Hu Ledger's heart hung again, for fear that he would hear the words of his dismissal in the next moment.
Guo Mianmian glanced at him and continued: "I want to find out the person who is greedy for ink, but the truth of those deputies is brought by the Hu Ledger Office, and they have also made a lot of efforts to build the workshop before. ”
Hu has lived for most of his life, and he still can't hear the meaning of Guo Mianmian's words, so he immediately said: "If the shopkeeper trusts me, this matter will be handed over to me, and I will definitely give the shopkeeper a warning!" ”
Guo Mianmian waited for this sentence, and the smile on his face became a little more natural: "I naturally believe in the person of Hu Ledger, otherwise I wouldn't have found you to find out the person who was greedy for ink before I found it out." ”
"Thank you, owner!" Hu Shufang smiled a little far-fetched, not because he complained that Guo Mianmian used him as a gunman, this matter really had nothing to do with him, and he could be informed, instead of slowly checking behind him, it was already giving him face.
After Hu Jiaofang left, Guo Mianmian rubbed the corners of her forehead and leaned on her husband, and said lazily: "I just want to make a little living and make the family's life better, but I didn't expect this business to be like this, but it is hard work and hard work, no intention!" ”
Zheng Rin said distressedly: "If you are tired, turn it off and transfer it to others, do what you cook porridge, open a pastry shop in the town, regardless of whether you can get dividends or not, and you will be at the mercy of your husband." ”
