The old man stopped talking about this topic, pointed to the slip that Yin Le took and asked, "What are these things?"

Yin Le said: "The expenditure list of the silk village,"

"Expenditure bill, what is an expenditure bill," the old man asked incomprehensibly, because in the past, the expenditure only needed to be paid at the account room, and then the account room kept accounts, and at the end of the month, the account book was handed over to Mu Rentong for unified accounting, and then presented to the old man.

"The expenditure list is the silver spent by the silk village during this time, the lamp oil and wax, the store's rent and labor money, etc.," Yin Ledao said.

"Store rent," the old man suspiciously picked up the slip and looked at it, and really saw that the store rent was paid this month.

"Who brought these receipts back," the old man asked cautiously, putting down the receipts.

"Ah Tian," Yin Le said, Ah Tian is the manager of the silk village, in the past, the old man rarely went to the silk village, and lost about a few thousand taels of silver every month, and when Mu Rentong let him see the account book, he saw that it was about the same every month, so he didn't pay attention,

"This shop belongs to the Liu family's property, and there is no need to pay rent," the old man sneered, "Ah Tian is so bold, he dares to lose my money, and I trust him so much,"

Yin Le looked at the list and said: "The list was given to me by Ah Tian, but these expenses are all paid by my aunt and grandmother, and the wages for buying and selling goods are all through her hands, but she has been grinding in the tea garden during this time, and she doesn't know that I have implemented all the expenses and must be billed, and I don't know that Ah Tian has truthfully opened a bill for all the expenses in the store and returned to me,"

The old man's eyes glared at her sharply, "How long has this situation lasted?"

"I reconciled with Director Mu today, in the past few years, although the account book did not clearly indicate the expenditure, but the silver that was almost lost every month was not far away, that is, in the past few years, it has been like this," Yin Le opened the account book, but all the expenditures of the silk village, she had all identified,

The old man narrowed his eyes and looked at it carefully, checked the expenditure slip again, and said with a sneer: "Okay, I can't even believe this one," he angrily threw his pipe on the ground, and the pipe rolled out two feet away and landed under the table of the Eight Immortals,

The housekeeper hurriedly picked it up and said with relief: "The old lady is angry,"

Yin Le said: "Also, I asked Ah Tian why the store has not done well for a long time, because the goods we buy are some inferior goods, although the colors are bright, the material is very poor, and customers will basically not come to buy, but I looked through the account book, and the goods that the silk village has purchased over the years are basically the best silk in Suzhou,"

"You mean, she's shoddy," the old man leaned in and looked at the purchase price of the ledger again.

Yin Le took out a piece of fabric from under the slip and handed it to the old man, "This is the best fabric in our store, and the selling price is three taels of silver a zhang,"

The old man took it and looked at it, and immediately sneered, "This kind of fabric is worse than what our subordinates wear, and it is sold for three taels of silver and one zhang, is it crazy, don't say that three taels of silver is a zhang, even if it is three taels of silver and a horse, it is far from worthwhile,"

"So, Silk Village has never had business, and it's just a joke in the capital," Yin Le said.

The old man never cared about the silk village before, and occasionally ordered Liu Yanxiang to go over to take a look, and the steward Ah Tian thought that Liu Yanxiang was in charge of the silk village, so he only explained everything to her, he also felt strange before, and reacted to Liu Yanxiang, but Liu Yanxiang said that the old man kept this shop, just a kind of nostalgia for his deceased wife, and did not want to make money, where did Ah Tian know the thoughts of rich people, anyway, the monthly salary is given, he and the guys below do not care about this matter,

It wasn't until Yin Le took office that he personally came to inspect the silk village and raised questions that he informed Yin Le one by one, and Ah Tian also knew at this moment that the old man kept the silk village, although it was a thought, but he was not willing to lose money.

"No wonder, I thought that even if I had been losing money, I wouldn't lose so much, it turned out that she was a hindrance, I used to only say that she was a girl's family, intimate, knowing her mother's mind, so I handed over this silk village to her to manage, but I didn't expect her to make a big fuss, using the silk village I opened for her mother to circle money, where did my Liu family not live with her," the old man was so angry that he had to scold,

The housekeeper was speechless, in the past, he saw that his aunt and grandmother were very well-behaved and sensible in front of the old man, and he was thinking about everything from the old man's position, and he was secretly glad for the old man that he was fortunate to have a caring daughter, although he was not his own, he was better than his own.

"Because it involves your daughter, I'm here to ask you what to do, if the people in the store are ghosts, I will clean up a long time ago," Yin Le said,

The old man said angrily: "What else to do, how to deal with it, all the inventory, how much silver she circled, let her spit it it out,"

Yin Le snorted, slowly packed up his things, and asked, "What are you looking for me to do," she remembered that he had ordered the housekeeper to call her over just now, and there should be something to order,

The old man closed his eyes, let out a long sigh, and said: "I came to you, I wanted to talk about Qi'er's marriage, the Deng family said that they wanted to double the gift money, and it didn't matter if the silver was the matter, but I just felt that the old lady of the Deng family and my friends for many years were more careful about the gift money, and it seemed that it was obvious that they were bullying Yan Hui, who was in charge,"

Now everything in the family is handled by Yan Hui, the wife of the second master Liu An, after the gift money was sent over, but it was returned intact, the Deng family said that their daughter was noble, and the gift money should be doubled, so that it would not be laughed at by outsiders, Yan Hui didn't dare to take an idea, so she asked the old man,

Originally, the gift money given by the old man was already very high, and besides, he married his granddaughter-in-law and never cared about money, but the attitude of the Deng family made the old man very unhappy, as if their daughter was a golden branch and jade leaf, and his grandson had climbed high.

Yin Le said lightly: "You mean to fight for a breath back,"

The old man snorted, "The silver is not a matter for me, this matter may not be what Mrs. Deng meant, I have been friends with him for so many years, he will not embarrass me in this matter, probably Deng Ning's father, that is, Deng Ping, the owner of the Deng family's gold ornaments, has always been resourceful, in short, on the premise of fighting for a breath back, it doesn't matter how much silver you give, but I just can't lose face and let the Deng family despise it,"

"I understand, I'll look for Yan Hui in a while and ask about things," Yin Le said,

The old man's face softened slightly, paused, and said, "That matter, let's put it aside for now,"

Yin Le didn't react for a while, "What's the matter,"

The old man sighed and said slowly: "It's your aunt's matter, I've always dreamed of Mrs. these days, remembering that when Mrs. was on the sickbed, I had little time to take care of her because of my busy business, those few unfilial sons, and no one was sensible, it was Ah Yan who had been taking care of her, serving carefully on the sickbed, and doing her filial piety, for the sake of this, give her a chance, and when appropriate, give her a reminder, if she is so obsessed again, it will not be too late,"

Yin Le understood, she didn't say anything, only said lightly: "Well,"
