Chapter 4 The third grandmother complained about the difficulties of running the house
As soon as Grandma Luo San returned to the courtyard, the girl Dongxue ran over as if she had seen a savior.
"Third grandmother, you can count it back. The third master just lost his temper. He took the money and went out again. ”
Grandma Luo San frowned, "But where did you go?" ”
Dongxue shook her head and replied, "I didn't say it, I only brought Xiangming alone." I asked the second dog of Mrs. Wang's family to follow from afar. This hasn't come back yet. ”
Grandma Luo San nodded, "The second dog will come back in a while, you ask clearly, where did the third master go, and who is he with." Come back and forth to me then. Then he commanded, "Go and bring Steward Luo, I have something to ask him." ”
Winter Snow has gone.
After a long while, Steward Luo trotted into the hall. As soon as I entered the door, I saw Grandma Luo San frowning, holding a teacup in her hand, not knowing what she was thinking.
Steward Luo greeted him, and the third grandmother came back to her senses, took the winter snow away, pointed to the stool next to her, and said, "Sit down." ”
Steward Luo answered, leaning over and sitting on half of the stool. I heard Grandma Luo San say again, "You are also the old man in this family." I have done my best for the Luo family all my life. You've been in the Luo family for thirty years, right? ”
Steward Luo wasn't sure what she was going to say, so he laughed and said, "It's been thirty-nine years." When I was 12 years old, the old man was still in school, and the old lady bought me to be a scholar for the old man. After speaking, he sighed again, "It's really fast." ”
Grandma Luo San also nodded and sighed, "Yes, it's been almost forty years." It's fast. As he spoke, he changed his words and asked again, "On weekdays, you are in charge of everything in the house, and you don't have to say anything." I just don't know, how much do you know about things in the shop? ”
Steward Luo's heart suddenly burst out, and he hurriedly said, "Although everyone gave my old man a thin face and called him Manager Luo, the old man is only in charge of the affairs of the house." The old man has never been clear about the things in the shop. ”
Grandma Luo San looked at him, "At the end of each year, all the accounts have to be passed from you before they are presented to the old lady." You haven't seen the problem? ”
Steward Luo lowered his eyelids, "For the things on the accounts, you still have to ask Mr. Zhu in the account room." The old man is nothing but ......"
Grandma Luo San intercepted his words, "Steward Luo doesn't have to be modest. I know who you are. You also know what you're struggling with. But you know better than anyone else about the current situation in our family. I don't care anymore, I'm afraid I won't be able to pass this year. A while ago, the third master's gambling debt of 30,000 taels, I heard that he almost died, and you know it. Later, it was the old lady who paid her own money and moved the money in the public middle school to pay the money back. Nowadays, the food and clothing of this big family all point to these silk villages. ”
Steward Luo was about to say something, but was interrupted by the third grandmother, "You just have to rest assured, we have something to say behind closed doors today." Out of this door, you didn't tell me anything today. ”
Steward Luo opened his mouth and was silent for a long time before he sighed and said, "I also know that the third grandmother is not easy." But it's not a day or two in this shop. If you want to manage it, it's not easy to ......."
"No matter how difficult it is, you have to take care of it." Grandma Luo San cut the railway.
When Steward Luo saw her eyes, his heart was shocked, and after thinking for a while, he said, "If the third grandmother wants to rectify Luo Ji Silk Village, I am afraid that it will still start from the father and son of Qin Ye." ”
Grandma Luo San frowned and thought for a while, "Master Qin? But Luo Ji's big shopkeeper Qin Han? ”
Steward Luo nodded, "This Qin Ye is the brother of the second grandmother's in-laws. In the early years, the old man of the in-laws said that this little son was not successful, so let him learn some skills in our cabinet. That's how Luo Ji came, and he did it for more than ten years. At first, it was just to do things on the counter, but then the old shopkeeper Xu passed away, and the second grandmother went to ask the old lady, first, he had a long time in Luoji, and secondly, he was also a relative, so the old lady let him be the shopkeeper. In the past few years, he has been promoted to a big treasurer. ”
Grandma Luo San said suddenly, "It turns out that there is still this relationship in it." He asked again, "How is this Qin Han a person?" ”
Shopkeeper Luo shook his head, "I've been lazy since I was a child. What can be good. In recent years, the old lady has not taken care of anything, saying that she let the second master watch it, and the second master has never taken care of it. So he became more and more ridiculous, he didn't even go to the shop all the year round, and walked birds and raised flowers all day long. Let his son hold it in the store. The third grandmother hasn't seen him a few times in the shop, right? ”
Grandma Luo San nodded, "I did only see him once." He also said that he was too busy with things, so it turned out to be like this. After thinking about it, he said, "I have been turning over the running water in the shop in the past few days, and there are many discrepancies with the account, do you know this?" “
Steward Luo shook his head with a smile and said, "It seems that this Qin Ye is not even doing the things on the surface now." I really treat Luo Ji as my own home. He looked at the third grandmother and said, "In the past, there were such things, but I finally know how to cover it up." After all, they are relatives, and everyone turns a blind eye and it passes. Now that it is so rampant, it is time to cure. Otherwise, I'm afraid that the old people in the shop will be scattered. ”
Grandma Luo San nodded, and asked again, "Does the second master know about these things?" ”
Steward Luo smiled, "How can you not know." But is our second master the one in charge? The family is facing his brother again, and the second master dares to ask more, and he won't turn the sky upside down. The third grandmother is so smart, next to it, I don't need to say more, right? ”
Grandma Luo San frowned, and was about to ask about Mr. Zhu in the bookkeeper, when she suddenly saw Dongxue leading the two dogs inside, and she was busy talking. "What's going on?" Do you know where the third master went? ”
The second dog stepped forward and replied, "The third master met Ning Beile and Ding Er Ye halfway, and was taken by those two masters to the newly opened smoke house of the foreigners. I watched them walk in and ran back to talk. ”
Grandma Luo San nodded, asked Dongxue to reward him, and led him down. But he was irritable for a while, and scolded, "It's really not worry-free!" ”
Steward Luo shook his head with a smile and said, "Our third master is an ancestor, and the third grandmother wants him to change it, but it's not easy." ”
Grandma Luo San took a deep breath and stabilized her mind, "But what can I do?" You can't let him do that. My family is difficult, and I don't expect him to help me much now. I just want him to be safe and not cause trouble for me. As he spoke, he turned his head and said, "I'd better trouble you to find a few people to call him back." A foreigner's smoke house is by no means a good thing. ”
Steward Luo frowned, "That's the truth. I'm afraid that the third master is not willing to come back with us...... Once upon a time......"
Seeing that he was embarrassed, Grandma Luo San thought about it, slapped the table, and said, "Don't say it, call the master, take the rope, and I'll go and tie him back in person!" ”
