After entering the book, I took the heroine's space and lived in the end of the world

After saying this, Madam Yang glanced at the ashes on the table and asked in confusion, "Miss, what did you draw? Why did you burn it again?"

Su Yue turned her neck, and seeing this, Nanny Yang came forward and massaged Su Yue's shoulders.

Su Yue sighed comfortably and said, "I want to build a big manor, and it just so happens that Ren Dong's father knows this business.

So I wanted to draw a pattern for them to build according to, but the drawing was not far from what I imagined. Oh, by the way, Mammy, go to the big kitchen and find me some burnt charcoal. "

Su Yue can write calligraphy. She signed up for calligraphy as an interest class when she was a child.

But painting with a brush is a bit difficult, and the result is not what Su Yue wants. Painting with charcoal should be much easier.

"Girl, why do you need to build a farm? If we can take back all the dowry, we can just buy it with money.

It's a pity that the deeds of your mother's dowry farms are all in Zhou Ruoxue's possession, otherwise there would be no need to buy a farm, you can just pick one at random, I remember there are two with hot springs." Madam Yang said with regret again.

Su Yue shook her head. This ancient manor was not very safe. There would be constant natural disasters in the future, and even zombies would appear. It would be impossible to survive without building a highly secure base.

"I don't like those, so I want to build one. Mammy, don't ask any more questions. Go find me some charcoal first."

Seeing Su Yue's firm attitude, Madam Yang said no more and went to the kitchen to look for charcoal. Not long after, she came back with a box of burnt charcoal.

Su Yue took the charcoal and began to redraw her ideal Zhuangzi on paper. The lines on the paper became clearer and clearer, and her expression became more focused.

Seeing that Su Yue was painting so seriously, Nanny Yang did not dare to disturb her. She took out the cloth and planned to make a small dress for Su Yue.

In the main house of Songning Garden, except Su Yue, all the masters of the Su family gathered together.

Old Madam Su, who was sitting in the main seat, was quickly turning the Buddhist beads in one hand, with a hint of sadness between her brows, and she pursed her lips.

"Big Boss's Wife, we have to pay the Zhou family so much money this time. Can we cover the daily expenses of our family?"

Zhou Ruoxue, who also looked depressed, replied respectfully: "Don't worry, mother. Although it's a bit tight, we can still cope with it. But from now on, I'm afraid you have to be more frugal."

Upon hearing this, Madam Su remained silent, which was considered as her tacit agreement, but Wang Qiaoya opened her mouth to ask Zhou Ruoxue.

"Sister-in-law, how do you plan to save money?"

Zhou Ruoxue glanced at Wang Qiaoya and said, "Second sister-in-law, when it comes to saving money, we should naturally cut the monthly allowance of each room in half.

Furthermore, the meals in the mansion also need to be simple. The original six dishes and one soup for each room should be changed to three dishes and one soup, and the tonic snacks should also be reduced. I think once a day will be enough.

Brothers and sisters don’t have to make new clothes every month, once every three months is enough, in short, some unnecessary expenses can be saved. "

When everyone heard this, their faces suddenly turned unhappy.

Especially the second branch's family, they were very dissatisfied because the person who died was Zhou Ruoxue's nephew, not a member of the Su family.

If any reduction is to be made, it should be made on the eldest wife's property, why include the second wife as well?

Wang Qiaoya said, "Sister-in-law, I'm afraid there will be complaints about the reduction in monthly allowance."

Zhou Ruoxue replied calmly: "Of course the servants' monthly wages will not be reduced. After all, our Su family still has to maintain its reputation. Naturally, the monthly wages and daily expenses of the masters and mistresses will be reduced."

Wang Qiaoya bit her lip and said, "Sister-in-law, this is not appropriate. Master and my second master need money for their daily social activities. Lin'er and Xuan'er also need to get together with their classmates from time to time. If the money is too little, it will be a disgrace to our Su family."

Zhou Ruoxue, who was in a bad mood, heard Wang Qiaoya holding on to this matter, and she immediately became irritated, so she said in a gentle voice: "Sister-in-law, the situation is like this now, I really can't do anything.

How about you take charge of the household affairs? I believe that you will not only help the Su family get through this difficult time, but also protect the Su family's reputation."

Wang Qiaoya fell silent immediately. She was not a fool. The 30,000 taels of silver she paid to the Zhou family this time were from public funds.

Now that she suddenly lost these tens of thousands of taels of cash flow, she was asked to take charge of the finances. She wouldn't do that. She might even have to lose her own private money.

Zhou Ruoxue is not a good person. When there was extra money, why didn't she ask her to take charge of the household expenses? Now that there is no money, she just wants her to do it. She is really wishful thinking.

Wang Qiaoya said with a fake smile: "Sister-in-law, you are joking. I am just worried about the men and brothers at home. I have never been in charge of household chores, so of course I don't know how to do that. Sister-in-law, please continue to work hard."

Su Rou pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Huh? Could it be that the compensation money was taken from the public treasury? Isn't this Mr. Zhou the nephew of my aunt?"

Everyone present understood what Su Rou said. What Su Rou meant was that the first wife should use her own money to pay the compensation. How could she use the public bank's money? After all, this matter had nothing to do with the second wife.

Seeing that Su Rou had said nothing, Su Yao sneered and counterattacked, "Third sister, what you said is quite ridiculous. My cousin is indeed my mother's nephew, but he was not killed by our eldest wife. He died in our Su family, so the money should naturally be taken from the public treasury."

Su Rou said with a look of disapproval: "Second sister, I didn't expect you to be so cheerful. Your cousin is dead, and you are still in the mood to laugh.

It's fine to say this in our house, but don't say it outside, as if you are very happy that Master Zhou is dead."

Su Yao choked: "You..."

Su Rou did not give Su Yao a chance to continue, she spoke again: "And you also said that this Zhou Dagongzi was not killed by the eldest wife.

Naturally, it wasn't our second branch that killed him. Since it wasn't our Su family that killed him, why should we use our money to compensate the Zhou family? Is it because of the Zhou family's ability to cry, make a scene, and then hang themselves?

Yesterday, my second sister had her coming-of-age ceremony, and the concubine of the Zhou family was envious of the new clothes I was wearing. I think it won’t be long before I also envy her because the clothes she wears are newer than mine.”

Wang Qiaoya could hardly suppress the urge to curl up the corners of her mouth, so she quickly picked up the teacup and pretended to drink tea. She was worthy of being her daughter, she was really great!

Zhou Ruoxue frowned slightly and wanted to say something, but Madam Su sighed heavily, "Stop arguing, just do as the eldest daughter-in-law said. I also believe that each of you has your own money. If it is not enough, you can use your own money to make up for it."

When everyone heard what Old Madam Su said, they dared not say anything.

But Su Yao was so angry that she gave Su Rou a vicious look and turned her head to the other side.

The men at this time didn't care at all what the women were arguing about, because they were taught since childhood that they should not interfere in the affairs of the household.

Su Yuanzhe put down the teacup, looked at Su Yuanwang puzzledly and said: "Brother, I think we need to think in a different direction."

Su Yuanwang signaled with his eyes that Su Yuanzhe should continue speaking.

"I think the person who murdered Zhou Zhuo this time might be an enemy of the Zhou family. He saw Zhou Zhuo in the Su family and wanted to divert the blame."

Su Yuanwang pondered for a moment and nodded slightly: "Second brother, what you said makes some sense, but the Zhou family is like this now, what enemies can there be?"

"Did my elder brother offend someone in the court?" Zhou Ruoxue asked anxiously.
