It has been more than ten days since the last time the two sisters talked about opening a shop together. The shop has been cleaned up. Just before that, a batch of goods arrived in Beijing and was directly intercepted by Su Shunci and put in the new shop. Several businesses that had been negotiated are still being carried out. In the past few days, two deposits have been received.

In the past, she was very cautious in the mansion, but now that the money was in her pocket, Su Shunci straightened her back unconsciously. She couldn't help but say some words.

What the eldest sister said is indeed true, money is a woman's confidence.

He sneered, "Miss Fourth is calling you mother so affectionately. I might have thought she was your real mother."

When the old lady and Su Chengye heard this, their faces looked a little bad. Su Shunci was telling the truth, but it seemed like she was slapping the Su family in the face.

Su Chengye was about to scold his daughter when he heard Su Shunci speak.

"I always remember my grandmother's teachings and will never forget the kindness of my family in bringing me up."

"Speaking of which, my mother has also been kind to me in nurturing me. If it was because of my mother's divorce, I would have changed my name, and others would only laugh at the uneducated daughter of the Marquis."

Now it was hard for Su Chengye to scold him.

The old lady was unhappy. She did often say that a daughter should not forget her family's upbringing, but that was not what Su Shunci meant.

It's just that it's hard to explain, and she doesn't have the intention to explain it.

He coughed impatiently, "Okay, it's useless to talk about this now. Let's think about how to live in the future, right?"

The expenses of the house are huge, and the monthly payment for the servants and aunt is not a small expense. There is also food and drink for the extended family and favors from outside. If there is no income at home, what can we do?

After Lin Wanyin left, there wasn't much money in the house's account. Later, Su Shunci took over the silk shop and got back some money every few days to maintain it.

Now that this way of making money is cut off, the government will immediately be stretched.

The old lady asked Su Shunci again, "Can't the steward in charge of purchasing goods in the shop get the same goods as before?"

Su Shunci smiled faintly and said, "Grandma may not know that the person in charge of purchasing has always been someone from the Lin family. Mother was concerned about the well-being of our family, so she didn't call him back."

"Besides, even if we go to Jiangnan to purchase goods ourselves, the Jin Shang Bai family will not give us face."

To put it bluntly, the Su family's silk and satin shop can still make money because of the mother's patronage.

Lin Wuchen once taught her that merchants should always leave some room for success and not complete things completely.

Hearing this, Mrs. He snorted coldly: "This Lin Wanyin is really cruel and ruthless. She can do such decisive things. Cutting off other people's wealth is equivalent to cutting off the livelihood of our entire family."

A sneer appeared on Su Shunci's lips. The second aunt was really an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf.

"Second Aunt, I remember that your natal family is in the medicine business. Especially the best wild Ganoderma lucidum. Only your natal family can get the best quality goods."

"Why don't you go back to your parents' house to discuss it and share a piece of the pie with us?"

He's eyes widened and he glared at Su Shunci.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How can that be done? My brother and sister-in-law will not agree. You are stealing money from the He family."

Su Shunci chuckled, "Didn't the four grain stores of the Su family just rob the Lin family of their money? Mother didn't say anything, and neither did the uncles and cousins ​​of the Lin family."

She was a little confused for a moment. Are these people really confused, or are they pretending to be confused?

She can see all these things clearly. Grandma and father, it was as if they were blinded by lard.

There is also the second aunt He, asking her to give some money is like asking for her life. Sure enough, unless the board hits you, you will never know the pain.

Su Shunci's words shocked the old lady. She had always been partial to the second son's family, so she had given them money openly and secretly. On the contrary, no matter how much Lin Wanyin contributed to the Marquis's mansion, she felt that it was her due.

Ah Ci's words didn't sound nice, but one thing he said was right. What Lin Wanyin could do, why couldn't He?

The old lady's heart skipped a beat, "Second daughter-in-law, tomorrow is the day for me to buy Yangrong Pills. The house doesn't have enough money right now, can you..."

He heard the old lady's intention, but had no intention of agreeing. She won't be like Lin Wanyin, who spends money like running water to the Hou Mansion.

She pretended not to understand the meaning of the old lady's words and said, "Don't worry, mother, Yong'an Hall will come to deliver the medicine tomorrow, and I will instruct them to come to Songhe Hall to get the silver."

The old lady's eyes darkened, she just tried to test He. The Yangrong Pill was only a few hundred taels of silver, so she couldn't afford it. But He's attitude was chilling.

She recalled how she had never worried about these things when Lin Wanyin was around. When the old man passed away, she proposed a grand plan, but Lin Wanyin didn't hesitate at all.

Glancing sideways at Mrs. He, the old lady suddenly said, "When the second child gets better, let her go and apologize to Mrs. Lin."

Ms. He was startled. Her husband was beaten and lost his job because of this matter. Now she has to apologize?

"Mother, you know the second master's temper. How could she be willing to apologize to that bitch Lin Wanyin?"

The old lady scolded, "Shut up, even if they reconcile, you shouldn't say such things."

"When people heard this, they thought we people in the Marquis Mansion were uneducated."

"I have the final say on this matter, so I'll do it. As for the silver I am short of, I will take out two thousand taels from my own silver and send it to you first."

After speaking, he looked at his sons and daughter-in-law and said, "You three brothers, each of you will take out one thousand taels of silver and send it to the accounting office in the afternoon."

"That's it for now, I'll figure it out later."

One thousand taels of silver is not a small amount. He wanted to refuse, but the third master, Su Chengxun, spoke first, "Yes, mother."

Su Chengye also nodded, so He could only agree.

When everyone stood up, the old lady said, "You all go back first. The boss stays here. I have something to say."

Before Su Shunci left, he glanced at the old lady in surprise and thought, why is grandma so weird today?

Could it be that those few words of hers could really educate my grandmother?

After everyone left, only Su Chengye and the old lady were left in the house, as well as Aunt Yuan who was serving the old lady closely.

"Boss, after much thought, I still think you should bring Lin Wanyin back."

Su Chengye was startled suddenly, "Why would mother think so?"

For so many years, my mother has always looked down on Lin Wanyin's identity as a businessman. Why would she want to bring her back when the relationship between the two families was so tense?

Thinking of the situation in the house again, Su Chengye's heart moved. Does the mother want Lin Wanyin to return to the house and continue to use Lin Wanyin's money to support the life of the house?

Even though he looked down on Lin Wanyin's identity as a businessman, he never felt that he had done anything wrong. He still felt embarrassed when he heard the old lady's words.

If others mentioned it, he would probably say: I am not that shameless.

Su Chengye hesitated and said: "Mother, how could she agree to come back when she was so determined to reconcile."

"Even if she agrees, the Lin family will not agree. Qingyu will not agree either."

The old lady rolled her eyes at him, "Why are you so stubborn? If she doesn't agree, you won't find a way to make her agree?"

Then he persuaded in a low voice: "It's a bit shameful that the eldest son doesn't have a head wife. I don't care what you think, but Lin Wanyin must be brought back."

At this time, neither of them noticed that the back window of the hall was gently pushed open. A pair of dark and smart eyes were looking into the room through the gap in the window lattice.
