As soon as Wuyang Hou died, the plaque was removed and replaced with a new one. Wuyang Hou's Mansion was no longer Wuyang Hou's Mansion, but Wuyang Bo's Mansion.
Zhong Yunwei is the uncle of Wu Yang, and his wife Chen is officially the head of the house and manages everything in the house.
After two large-scale funerals were held in succession, Mrs. Chen settled the accounts and realized that the money in the house was stretched thin. Looking at the money left on the account, she couldn't help but panic.
After the death of Wuyang Hou Zhongshanming's wife, many things happened one after another. He didn't have time to marry a stepmother, so the old lady took care of the affairs of the house for many years.
Ms. Chen is not particularly sure how the old lady maintains the household expenses. On weekdays, their life is not bad. On the contrary, they are very well-off. They can buy basically anything they need.
Now that there was only a little money left in the account, she had to find out what happened.
Jiao Susu will transfer a certain amount of money to the Hou Mansion's account every month. This matter is not a secret, as long as the relevant people pay attention, they will know.
In the past, Mr. Chen was a little afraid of the old lady and never dared to ask more about these things, but she didnt know.
She knew that Jiao Susu was a merchant girl, but she didn't know how big Jiao Susu's business was.
Suddenly she discovered that Jiao Susu had to pay such a large sum of money to the house account every month. Her eyelids twitched, thinking that the Jiao family's property was really quite big.
After settling the accounts, Mr. Jiao has not sent any money to the house account for two months.
Ms. Chen didnt think it was because Mr. Jiao was unwilling to give. It must be because there were too many things in the past two months and the other party didnt have time.
She is in charge of everything in the house, so naturally she wants to ask what is going on. Mrs. Jiao has always given this money, it must be the old lady's agreement.
It was the first time Chen came to the courtyard where Jiao Susu lived. The place was remote and not too small. The courtyard was well taken care of by Jiao Susu, and it was actually very comfortable to live there.
Chen met Jiao Susu and explained his purpose of coming.
Jiao Susu knew that such a day would come. She said: "Sister-in-law, so many things have happened in the past two years. I have no intention of running the property in my hand, and I can no longer make money. The shops under me are all rented, and the lease period is coming soon. The goods are currently being processed at a loss. Regardless of whether the goods can be processed or not, it is impossible to renew the contract after it expires."
In a word, there is no money.
Ms. Chen didnt expect this to be the case. She frowned: Susu, you used to pay a sum of money to your account every month, but now you suddenly stop...
"Sister-in-law, I didn't make an agreement with anyone in the past. I just used this money to honor the old lady. Now that I don't have the ability, I naturally can't get it. You have to know that I gave this money just to fulfill my filial piety, not to express my gratitude. It should be given." Jiao Susu's voice was stern, and this was what he said at the beginning. Otherwise, it would be a joke to ask her, the granddaughter-in-law, to use her private treasury to cover expenses.
The old lady cares about reputation very much, and she has to have a good excuse for using her money.
Mrs. Chen couldnt say more. Since Ms. Jiao was so confident, it meant that she really didnt agree that the other party must give her. She could only leave with a sad face.
Without that much money, Chen calculated the income and expenditure of the house and could only reduce expenses.
But it had only been shortened by ten days, and everyone felt something was wrong.
Especially Zhong Yunmao's family was very dissatisfied with their daily food and supplies. This dissatisfaction will naturally cause trouble for Chen, the housekeeper.
Sister-in-law, although the new official takes office with three fires, dont burn it too cleanly. Will you be able to live like this?
