Behind the dresser in the main room, Zhou Ximei crawled by the wall and pounded for a long time, and finally found out a piece of oilskin paper wrapped in it, held it in her arms, and stared cautiously at the person in front of her.

Lin Mei looked at her cautious movements, more careful than when she hugged her little sister, she couldn't help twitching the corner of her mouth, stretched out her left hand, and said, "I'll see if it's useful first." ”

Zhou Ximei glanced at her eldest son, frowned tightly and said, "You agree to my conditions first and then give it to you." ”

Lin Mei was impatient and laughed horrifiedly: "Hmph, if I don't agree, what if I want to grab it?" I can talk to me now, and give me things obediently, otherwise ......"

Zhang Dabao on the side was terrified, really afraid that his mother would annoy her, so he persuaded: "Mother, why do you bother, just give it to the eldest sister first." ”

Zhou Ximei glared at him, gritted her teeth and said, "Hmph, eat the white-eyed wolf crawling inside and out!" ”

That being said, I obediently took the package.

Zhang Dabao dodged his eyes and didn't dare to look.

Lin Mei couldn't wait to open the three layers of packages inside and outside, there were really a few account books, took a breath, held the account book in one hand, and flipped through it with the other.

Zhang Dabao took the opportunity to stretch out his head and glance at it a few times, the words on the account were even better than what he wrote, and he couldn't help frowning: My uncle's family is illiterate, and the one who can write a good hand is not a member of the Shen family?

But Lin Mei's focus was not on this gorgeous small block letter, according to the number of words recorded on the account, she quickly calculated in her mind, and when she counted to the last book, she couldn't help but be taken aback, but she quickly restrained her expression. Glancing at her, I don't know if she is really stupid or fake, she slammed the account book on the table with a snap, and said: "Saying that you are stupid really underestimated you, since this account book is in your hand, you haven't thought about checking the account?" It should be calculated by the Shen family. ”

In doing business, Lin Mei has admired the five-body cast. However, she can think of keeping the account book, and she is not stupid, the account book clearly records the process of division of labor and cooperation between the Shen family and the Zhou family, at first glance, it looks like a daily flow diary, and she has not even mentioned half of the Lin character, which makes Lin Mei breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhou Ximei was stunned, was calculated? ! What does that mean? Picked up the account book on the table, flipped through a few pages, didn't know a word, was stunned for a long time, and then asked with a shy face: "But what's wrong with the account?" ”

"According to the records in the account, I roughly calculated, according to the interest of 30%, last year's total income alone was more than 30,000 taels of silver, but in fact you only got 8,000 taels, that is to say, you got less than 7,000 taels of silver; This year, you will lose even more, as of last month, the income is more than 50,000 taels of silver, but you only have 13,000 yuan. It seems that you have a lot of silver in your account every year, but in fact, it was calculated by the Shen family, and you not only used this ten thousand three to buy grain, but also took an extra five thousand taels of silver. To put it simply, it means that the Shen family has not only earned the principal and silver for a long time, but now they are also trading with you with your principal and income. Now that the grain shop is closed, all the money you have invested has been wasted. ”

Suddenly, a basin of cold water was poured coldly, but Zhou Ximei was so easy to believe her words, and stared suspiciously: "Hmph, don't coax me, although I can't read, but each of these account books is right." ”

In fact, this account book is still done well, the single book is counted, it looks flawless, and it is enough to deceive people like Zhou Ximei who are illiterate, but if it is faced with an old Jianghu like Lin Mei, it is still too tender!

Lin Mei didn't think so, there was no business or treachery, not to mention that the Shen family had been in business for many years, so it was already relatively generous to have to do something tricks and give a little profit.

Zhang Dabao frowned incredulously and asked, "Eldest sister, could you have miscalculated?" ”

Lin Mei cut off, opened the account book in front of the two of them, and pointed: "The single book looks fine." But in fact, it is not, and it is recorded here: On April 20, Zhu Jun of Henan Prefecture borrowed 20,000 taels of silver. I received it eight times before and after, all of which were recorded in three books, this and those two books, but it was a coincidence that these eight times were collected by a person named Shen Cong, and a total of 26,000 taels of silver were recovered, but only 20,000 taels were written in the general ledger, and the interests of the 6,000 taels must have been coveted. There are several such accounts, but I want to point them out to you? ”

This trivial matter of auditing accounts is still pediatric for Lin Mei, a person who is used to making accounts, otherwise, if the big industry does not make false accounts, how to evade taxes and make profits!

"This, how can this be...... The people of the Shen family are really cunning enough! Zhang Dabao's head was not enough, only amazement.

"I can't complain about others if I'm stupid."

Zhou Ximei's brain can't keep up with her thinking, how can it be different from what she expected, shouldn't she take out the account in exchange for conditions? How could it become calculated by the Shen family?! I only felt that it was dark in front of me, and I sat on the ground with my buttocks.

But after coming back to his senses, he screamed like crazy, stared at the account books on the table in disbelief, and shouted: "Impossible, absolutely impossible, I asked my eldest brother to find someone to account for these account books, there will be no problem!" ”

Lin Mei looked at her lost soul, I was afraid that it would be a big blow, so she swallowed sarcastic words funny, lest she be vulnerable, and if she was angry to death, it would be more troublesome.

"Okay, let's get back to the point, I'll take the account book first. You'd better pray that tomorrow you will be safe and sound and redeem my father. Otherwise, the mother and son will pay the debt, and your son will take the blame, and I will poke out the news of your loan shark with the Shen family, and I will never let the people of the Lin family not bear this pot! Don't expect it to affect the Lin family, there is nothing in this world that can't be solved by silver, not to mention that you have already been given a break by the Lin family......"

Lin Mei didn't even leave her a moment of negotiation space, took the account book and turned around and left.

Zhang Dabao said coldly: "Mother, don't cry, you should spend money to buy a lesson." The eldest sister hasn't cried yet, what's the use of your heartbreaking now? Do you know how much Uncle Lin's ransom money is? Fifty thousand taels, a full fifty thousand taels! That's the eldest sister's hard-earned money, so it went down the drain. ”

Zhou Ximei stopped her tears and hatred in her heart: "You white-eyed wolf, the eldest sister who speaks loudly, no matter how much money she earns, but she misses you again?" I heard that a small steward of the Lin family has a salary of five or six hundred taels of silver a year, what about you? What's the use of just calling the eldest sister, I only give you two taels of silver a month and send you away, just send you to ask for food, right?! I've worked so hard to plan, for what? It's not for the sake of your brothers that you two will have no worries about food and clothing in the future, and won't be laughed at by others. ”

It is said that knowing the son Mo Ruo's mother, but sometimes knowing the mother Mo Ruozi, Zhang Dabao knows her temper too well, hearing her say this, he can't help but sneer: "Mother, don't want to set me up, my son is now a person who has gone out to see the world." Are you too little money for two or two months? I blushed when I took it, my surname is Zhang but not Lin, why should I take the Lin family's monthly money? And the eldest sister didn't treat me badly, only from me into the guard camp, the eldest sister from time to time to take money for me, if it weren't for this, according to my temper back then, I would have been unable to stay. Take me as a centurion now, although I also have my own merits, but I didn't look at the face of my eldest sister! ”

Zhou Ximei choked, her eyes widened, and she said in shock and disbelief: "Centurion? My son, is this an official position? Why didn't you mention it to me?! "I want to talk about "The Good Wife" with more like-minded people, and pay attention to "Youyue Literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find a confidant~
