After the day was over, Jia Min thought for a long time, and finally adopted Yunqing's suggestion, listed the problems she could think of, found time to return to her parents' house, first went to Jia's mother, and discussed with Jia's mother what to do, Jia's mother was silent for a long time after listening, and finally sighed and said: "I don't know what you said, it's just that it's hard to return, even if you have a heart, where can you change it overnight?!" ”

"If nothing else, you said that you want to open up sources and reduce expenditure, which is true, but what should be done? Let's talk about open source first, as far as the virtues of your brothers are concerned, if you can keep the ancestral property without shrinking, it is already a bodhisattva's blessing, and you can't count on more; As for throttling, human relations cannot be saved, and what can be reduced is the daily expenses of the family, so many people in the family, even if I am willing to be thrifty, others can have no opinions? Moreover, the expenses of the family are not extravagant and extravagant, but just to maintain the dignity of the Guogong Mansion, and it is not like a frugal province......" Jia's mother listed the difficulties of the family one by one.

Jia Min listened, and the more she listened, the more panicked she became, and she found that her mother had a big difference with her own cognition.

In Jia's mother's view, the Jia family's food and clothing are not considered luxury, and most of the expenses are normal and necessary, because the Jia family is the mansion of the national prince, so there should be such a card, and because she has been like this in the past few decades, the power of the family is not as good as before, but the industry has not shrunk, so there is no need to reduce the standard of living at all, and it is not really poor that there is no way to eat, and there should be decent pomp and circumstance, otherwise it will really be ruined?

But in Jia Min's view, the life of her mother's family is too extravagant and wasteful, whether it is for food, the masters don't know how to cherish it, and the two masters and the three masters at the bottom are even more generous, and they don't feel sorry for the things that are not their own to the fullest. According to Jia Min's observation, half of it is already considered too much, but the big head is used on the minions, is this normal?

Jia Min felt that it was abnormal, but the rest of the Jia family didn't react, and said that "if the water is clear, there is no fish", even if the people are greedy, it is just a drop in the bucket, and it is too careless...... This argument didn't make Jia Min laugh angrily.

In short, Jia Min has been married for more than 20 years, and her thinking is already different from that of the Jia family, so she has different opinions with Jia's mother on many things, and neither mother nor daughter can convince anyone, but Jia's mother still can't beat Jia Min in the end, she still listened to her, and gathered Jia Min and his wife, Jia Zheng and his wife, Jia Lian and his wife and Jia Baoyu, and took the problems listed by Jia Min to them and circulated them one by one. Is there anything wrong with the family right now? Why did you say that it was like you were going to the street tomorrow to ask for food, didn't I say, you have time to keep an eye on your mother's house, why don't you care more about your niece and niece......"

Jia Yu still had a lot of complaints to make, and when he saw Jia Min's flushed face, he held back the second half of his words, and he couldn't bear to embarrass Jia Min in front of everyone.

Mother Jia looked at it coldly, Mrs. Wang kept silent with a straight face, Mrs. Xing wrote "It has nothing to do with me" on her face, and with a little eagerness to watch the excitement, Mother Jia sank her face, and used Jia Yu as an excuse to reprimand: "What are you talking about!" If your sister hadn't thought about her mother's family, what would you do to her? No matter how much you spend, you can't spend half of her money, and no matter how bad your reputation is, it will have no effect on her; What's more, if you are motivated, do you need her to worry about the affairs of your mother's family? She is dedicated to your good, you just don't appreciate it, and you shouldn't make irresponsible ......"

Jia Yu lowered his head when he was trained, and casually arched his hand at Jia Min as an apology, Jia Zheng groaned and said: "I think my sister is thinking about it very much, the family is not as good as before, the annual income is the same as before, but the expenses are increasing day by day, it is ...... that something should be changed."

The meeting of the Jia family lasted for two hours, mostly Jia's mother, Jia Min and Jia Zheng were talking, Jia's mother herself didn't agree with Jia Min, but she couldn't see her sons and daughters-in-law opposing her, so she supported Jia Min, plus Jia Zheng's support, Jia Amnesty was indispensable, as long as it didn't affect his enjoyment, he didn't bother to object, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang, as well as Wang Xifeng and Jia Baoyu, that is, they had an ear, and basically had no right to decide, so most of Jia Min's opinions were finally adopted.

First of all, the problem of arrears of the Jia family, the Jia family borrowed a full 430,000 taels that year, fortunately, Jia Daishan was good again, and he had already prepared the gold and silver, which were locked in the treasury, and when he wanted the account, he could take it out immediately to repay the money, Jia Min repeatedly emphasized that this money must not be moved, Jia Yu and others were a little unimpressed, and suddenly thought that she had a deep friendship with Yun Qingzhen, maybe she had some inside information, and she promised not to touch it if she listened to it.

Secondly, Jia Min has emphasized many times, strictly control the family, do not act outside the mischief, do not bully others, and prevent the slaves in the family from doing evil in the name of the masters, no one objected, but no one was willing to take care of things, no one was silent, and finally Jia Mu made a final decision: "Second child, you usually keep an eye on it, if there is any problem, deal with it early, don't really indulge in the lawlessness of the people below, who dares to bully people under the banner of the master, and ruin the reputation of the house, I am the first to spare him!" ”

Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng also took an errand, that is, to rectify the people in the house, originally Jia Mu and others did not care about the corruption of the subordinates, thinking that they were at most greedy for small profits, but Jia Min calculated the account for them, although she did not know who ate how much, but also clearly pointed out that at least half of it was evaporated, as soon as this account came out, from Jia Yu to Wang Xifeng were angry, they did not have the spirit of selfless dedication, and immediately made up their minds to let those people spit out what they ate and let people know, Their advantage is not so easy to take advantage of.

Jia Min thought of what Yunqing said, the younger generation should use it, so he asked Jia Baoyu if he had any opinions, Jia Baoyu listened to this for a long time, although he was still ignorant, but he also realized that the situation at home was not as smooth as he thought, there were many problems and crises that he had never been aware of, and saw Jia Min solemnly asking for his opinion, he panicked all of a sudden, and was speechless, seeing Jia Zheng's face getting more and more ugly, he had to say that he had no clue, and when he went back and thought about it carefully, I'll report back to my aunt again.
