Chapter 50 I Want To Repay My Debt Again

As soon as Aunt Huang left, Lin Liangchen broke into Yu's yard regardless of any obstruction.

"Eldest young lady, you can't go in. Madam said, no one will be seen." The old woman who was guarding the door caught up with Lin Liangchen and begged.

"Get out of the way!" As soon as Lin Liangchen drank it, he flashed quickly, passed the old woman who was blocking her, and walked into the yard.

"Eldest young lady~" The old woman who was guarding the door didn't give up, picked up her skirt and chased after her.

Lin Liangchen was desperate to see Mrs. Yu, so naturally he wouldn't let the woman who was guarding the door follow. When he got to the door of the house, several little girls appeared to stop Lin Liangchen, "Eldest young lady, Madam is resting, you can't go in. ."

"What if I say I have to see you?"

The little girl was stunned for a long time, "I'm sorry, young lady." Someone reacted, and three or five little girls came forward to surround Lin Liangchen.

Lin Liangchen was in no hurry to go in. He stood at the door and said, "Madam, I know you are inside. Even if you let these girls stop me, you can't stop me."

There was silence in the room, and Mrs. Lai whispered, "Madam..."

Mr. Yu raised his eyelids, "Let Mr. Lin come in."

As soon as the big girl went out, Lin Liangchen was brought in immediately, "Madam is really laid back."

Yu shi endured the anger that was about to burst out, "How can Nian'an daughter-in-law, you have time..."

It means that Lin Liangchen came to her early in the morning to ask for a debt.

The two battled each other for a while, but Lin Liangchen didn't hold back and said bluntly, "I wonder when Madam will give away my mother-in-law's dowry and 250,000 taels?"

After five days of tossing and fussing, Yu Shi should have got some money back, right?

Mrs. Yu moved her eyelids, and Mrs. Lai understood, and immediately a little girl came with a box.

After the box was opened, the things were handed to Lin Liangchen. Lin Liangchen glanced at the jade pendant in the box and asked coldly, "Madam, is this the dowry you should pay back?"

"Daughter-in-law Nian'an, just take out the contents." Yu Shi paused, "That's all I can get together."

(Repeat chapter. Be sure to finish it tonight.)

Xu Yunshui and several others were thrown inexplicably.

"father..."

"What's it called, see for yourself, let me take a good look at it. As the young master of the General's Mansion, I have treated you badly in that regard, ah? Look at what you have done, do you want to empty the General's Mansion?"

Thinking about these sons, they would take several thousand taels and several thousand taels every other time, and there was no entry or exit, so that there were only 3,000 taels left on the account of the General's Mansion, so Xu Ying had the courage to not fight.

If he hadn't checked it early, the manor's New Year's money would have been lost. At that time, the general's mansion might really be like that, living a miserable life.

"What? All of them are mute and stop talking?"

What else can the Xu Yunshui brothers say?

Naturally, there was nothing to say, Xu Yingyong cursed for a while. Suddenly said: "Nian'an wife, in the future, the central feed of this family will be handed over to you. You can take good care of the money on it. If these dead boys dare to take money, don't be polite to me."

Xu Yingyong's words are right, but Lin Liangchen doesn't necessarily want to do this, "Old General. I can't take over the central feeder, let's not say that the second brother and sister have been married to the General's mansion for so many years, and it is only because of her years. What she does for the General's Mansion, she can only be in charge of the central feed."

Lin Liangchen would not do such a thankless thing.

"No. The second daughter-in-law is too soft-hearted and can't control it at all. In this way, she is in charge of the affairs in the mansion, but you can control the affairs outside the mansion where the dead boys take money." Xu Yingyong said this The words were irresistible that Lin Liangchen couldn't say.

Lin Liangchen just wanted to say no. Xu Yingyong glared at Lin Liangchen, as if Lin Liangchen dared to say a word and ate Lin Liangchen.

"It's not impossible for me to manage, but I have to follow my rules." A smile crossed the corner of Lin Liangchen's mouth.

Xu Yunshui and the others were startled a few times.

"Okay, that's it, butler, go and invite the second daughter-in-law to me. I have something to tell her. In addition, I will take the chapter from Madam. If you have something to do in the future, you don't have to report it to her. Just talk to the second daughter-in-law." In this way, the division of labor is clear.

"Father, you can't do this!" Xu Yunshui immediately objected. Isn't what Xu Yingyong said just now indirectly depriving the Yu family of the right to be in charge of the central feeder?

"Can't do this?" Xu Yingyong sneered, "You go and ask Mrs. Yu, what good thing she has done in charge of Zhongfei over the years, and she can actually replace all of your aunt's dowry and replace your aunt's shop with twenty. The more than 10,000 taels of silver gave Huahua not a single penny left, if this is played by ginseng, let alone me, it's you, our whole family will suffer."

If there are those kind of little people who guess at random, maybe they will play a book, saying that they have the heart to rebel.

After saying this, Xu Yunshui really stopped saying a word, and Xu Yunfei and Xu Yunqi sneered in their hearts.

"And the middle-income money that your four brothers have taken these days, return it to me as soon as possible!" After talking about the Yu family, Xu Yingyong threw such a blockbuster again.

"What? You still don't want to? I didn't let you fall into the CFC for your salaries. How much you owe will be repaid when your sister-in-law decides."

Xu Yingyong knew the thoughts of several sons too well. Last time, the third child suddenly had a concubine, and Xu Yingyong knew that he could no longer indulge them. Several sons also had to be reassured.

After Xu Yingyong said what he had to say, he did not intend to take care of this matter. It happened that Mrs. Su happened to come over. Xu Yingyong repeated what he just said. Mr. Su pushed back again and again. Down.

With a responsibility on his shoulders, Lin Liangchen didn't feel anything. After reading the account book Xu Yingyong gave him, he quickly cleared out the silver taels that the four brothers owed to the central government.

"Five days, how about the full payment after five days?"

The four brothers Xu Yunshui were all silent, "Then I'll take it as you agreed."

Lin Liangchen paused, "If you really don't have money to pay, it's fine, just tell me directly, but..."

Seeing Lin Liangchen's smile, Xu Yunshui knew it was not good, "Sister-in-law has nothing to say."

"Help me with my work, I'll give you wages, and when will I pay off the central feed in Fuzhong. You don't need to help me at any time, but once you agree, you can't quit midway!"

"Isn't this the same as slaves? I don't want it." The youngest Xu Yunzhou refused on the spot.

Lin Liangchen smiled slightly, "Not everyone can work for me. If I don't do well, the wages will be deducted! Don't worry, I will only take up your spare time."

Whether to do it or not, and the right to choose, Lin Liangchen gave them all.

"Steward, give me all the property accounts outside the General's Mansion in a while, I want to clear them all, and call me all the stewards. Before dinner, I want to meet people. If they don't show up, let them directly. Pack up and go home to retire!"

After saying these words domineeringly, Lin Liangchen walked away dashingly.

Seeing the Su family standing aside, Lin Liangchen said, "Second brother and sister, we should cooperate well in the future."

Done. Chong Su squeezed his eyes.

Su Shi replied in a daze, and shortly after Lin Liangchen left, he glanced at Xu Yunshui and followed.

With Lin Liangchen's words, the Su family naturally followed Lin Liangchen back to Biqin Garden, "Sister-in-law, what did you mean by that sentence?"

"That sentence?" Lin Liangchen asked, turning his face to the side.

"That's the word for cooperation."

"That sentence. You take care of the inside, I take care of the outside, don't you want to cooperate well?" Lin Liangchen patted Su Shi's shoulder, "Don't think too much, since the old general gave us the middle feed, he naturally believed in us. The second brother and sister must not feel too much pressure, besides... Madam's side..."

"Second brother and sister, it's better to be tough, otherwise your dowry will not be guaranteed."

Lin Liangchen didn't tell Su's family that Yu owed money and dowry, but only reminded him vaguely. If the Su family is willing to be pitted, then Lin Liangchen has nothing to say.

Lin Liangchen has always had a resolute temperament, and the housekeeper is no exception. Soon after Lin Liangchen's order, he sent all the things Lin Liangchen needed, flipped through a few ledgers at random, looked at the housekeeper and asked, "Is that all? Is there anything else?"

The butler shook his head, "No more."

"Really?" Lin Liangchen muttered something to himself, and turned to the ledger, "Why doesn't this tea shop sell other things with such a low income?"

"Go back to the eldest young lady, this is what Madam means."

"Oh~ that's what Madam meant, butler, has the shopkeeper of this tea shop sent someone to call?"

"Back to the eldest young lady, someone has already been called."

Lin Liangchen frowned, "Next time I'll answer the point."

The housekeeper was stunned, and responded, "Yes."

Within a quarter of an hour, Lin Liangchen read the account book of the tea shop and picked up the next one, "Why is there so much grain stored in the shop and not sold?"

"Go back... eldest young lady, yes..."

"Okay, don't talk about it, I understand." I guess this is also what the Yu family meant, but this nearly 5,000 catties of grain will not be sold...

"The shopkeeper of this rice shop also sent someone to call?"

"called."

"That's good."

In the ledger that followed, Lin Liangchen could only read but not speak, while the other hand was recording data. Seeing the speed at which Lin Liangchen looked at the ledger, Mrs Su couldn't help admiring it. In addition to admiration, she couldn't help but wonder how Lin Liangchen got to this point. of.

To be able to turn over a thick ledger so quickly, and to be able to see the clues in it, was both surprising and delightful, as if something had happened.

He stared at Lin Liangchen for about an hour, unaware that the housekeeper did not receive Lin Liangchen's instructions, nor did he dare to step back directly, standing silently on the side, waiting for Lin Liangchen to speak.

It's a pity that after waiting for a long time, Lin Liangchen didn't look up. The tea in Lin Liangchen's cup was refilled, another cup, and the charcoal fire was added again and again.

Finally, two hours later, the sky was getting dark, and Lin Liangchen moved his aching neck. When he looked up, seeing that Mrs. Su and the housekeeper had not left, he was surprised: "Why are you still here?"

Su Shi said, "I wanted to learn the quick way to read the ledger from my sister-in-law, so I stayed."

The housekeeper said: "The eldest young mistress didn't say a word, and the slaves dare not leave."

Lin Liangchen was taken aback, "Are the shopkeepers here?"

Liu'er said, "I've been here for a while."

"Housekeeper, go out with me to meet you, second brother and sister, do you stay here or go with me?"

Su shi's eyebrows flashed with excitement, "Go with you, sister-in-law."

After whispering a few words to Liu'er, Lin Liangchen and Mrs. Su, together with the three housekeepers, went to the front hall of Biqin Garden to entertain guests. Lin Liangchen sat down with Mrs. Su, and the housekeeper cleared his throat and said, "Please ask me today. The shopkeepers are here because of the general's order. He has already handed over the central feed to the eldest and second young grandmothers. In the future, the eldest young mistress will be responsible for matters outside the house, and the second young mistress will be responsible for matters within the house. "

"I've seen the first young lady, the second young lady..." Six or seven shopkeepers all stood up and saluted.

"You don't need to be too polite. I asked the butler to invite everyone here today to talk about the operation of the store. I have read the ledger of the stores managed by the stewards. to the extreme."

These words made the old faces of the six or seven shopkeepers turn red. Some shopkeepers even blushed and asked Lin Liangchen, "Eldest young lady, why do you say that we have managed the shop to the extreme?"

"Still still convinced? Manager Hu, you are in charge of the jade shop, let alone profit. You still lose a lot of money every month. I don't care what business method Madam told you before, but from now on, the shop outside will belong to me. No matter, then follow my method, and throw away all the previous management methods for me!"

Speaking of which, Lin Liangchen also felt strange. This jade shop run by someone else's mansion is not doing well, but the shop in the General's mansion is not ideal, and it still loses money, rice shop, and tea shop every month. A few other shops, although profitable, are not ideal. One or two thousand taels of silver a year is considered the limit.

After a few words, Mr. Hu did not say a word. The other shopkeepers were also blushing. If it wasn't already dark at this time, they would have seen each other's embarrassment.

"What, do you think I'm wrong?"

"Yes, yes." Shopkeeper Hu took the lead in responding.

"That's right, I'll tell you the truth, the general's mansion is already in a mess. Because of the poor management of the wife, there is no liquidity in the mansion. This year has not been a good year, and it depends on the stewards. ."

"Don't dare..."

"There's nothing to be afraid of. That's the truth. If the shop doesn't improve, not only you, but even all the people in this general's mansion will only drink the northwest wind."

As soon as they established their sense of responsibility, Lin Liangchen explained how to change the business method of the shop.

"Manager Wu, according to what I said, you should sell all the five thousand catties of grain stored in the rice shop within three days, and send someone to Zhuangzi to leave the new harvest this year, enough grain for March, and the old one. All were sold before the New Year."

Lin Liangchen didn't know how long the 5,000 catties of grain had been stored by the Yu family.

Perhaps shopkeeper Wu knew this, so when Lin Liangchen spoke, he kept silent.

"Manager Meng, tomorrow, come to Fuzhong to get the blueprints, I'll tell you the address, you go to the glass factory to make tea making tools, and then, according to what I just said, re-decorate the shop, put up a sign, and put all the The price of tea has gone up!"

"Treasurer Mu..."

"..."

After another hour of indecision, Lin Liangchen finally arranged things.

"The method I just said, although I can't guarantee that these shops can be brought back to life, but at least it has some effect, and it will take a few shopkeepers to work hard. If a few shopkeepers want to drink the northwest wind with us, it's not like me. Do what you say."

Lin Liangchen taught the method, and other Lin Liangchen didn't want to care anymore.

I didn't want to hear what these shopkeepers thought, so I just sent them back.

In the front hall, Lin Liangchen moistened his throat with tea, kept Su for dinner, and asked the housekeeper to go back.

"Sister-in-law, you are really amazing, you can think of so many ideas at once." At the dinner table, Su shi said with a smile.

Lin Liangchen smiled lightly and did not answer, but the Su family seemed to have opened a chatterbox, chatting non-stop, knowing the Su family for so long, this was the first time Lin Liangchen saw the Su family so excited, and this This kind of excitement seems a little unable to own.

"It's the first time I saw my second sibling smiling so happily."

Su Shi restrained his emotions, "Really?"

"It's not." Every time I see Su Shi, I always feel like she has something hidden in her heart. It's really rare to see such a hearty smile.

Su Shi smiled embarrassedly, lowered his head to eat, Lin Liangchen pursed his lips, told Lin Tianlei to eat more, and turned to ask Liu'er, "Is Miss Xiuxiu here?"

When Liu'er went out to see, the Su family was about to get up, but Lin Liangchen stopped him, "Second brother and sister, sit down, Liu'er will bring Xiuxiu."

"Second brother and sister. I'm not talking about you, you can't be too restrictive to Xiuxiu and don't let her out to play. Children have to look like children. It's not good to be too old." He looked at Lin Tianlei and Ruan with disgust. Ruan glanced.

Seeing Lin Liangchen say this, the siblings gave Lin Liangchen a good look, and Lin Liangchen said happily, "Look, I'm not happy."

"What, what are you talking about, mother? I'll listen too?" Mao Mao reacted, shaking his head and blinking.

"I didn't tell you."

Mao Mao pouted unhappily, "Mother is really bad."

Su Shi was amused, "Maomao, let's eat, your mother is teasing you."

Mao Mao snorted. She lowered her head and went to work hard. While talking, Liu'er held hands and brought Xiuxiu in. The little girl Xiuxiu was quite embarrassed when she saw Lin Liangchen's mother and son.

The little face was shy for a while. He greeted Lin Liangchen with a smile, and called out Lin Tianlei's brothers and sisters obediently.

Lin Liangchen laughed, "Xiuxiu sit next to your mother, don't be restrained with me, just say what you want to eat, ah~"

"Thank you auntie."

"You're welcome."

"Second brother and sister, look. Xiuxiu is really like you." As expected of a mother and daughter, their temperaments are really the same.

After dinner, the mother and daughter of the Su family played in Lin Liangchen's yard for a while, and when they saw Xu Han came back, the mother and daughter said goodbye and left.

"What is she doing here?" Xu Han asked as soon as the mother and daughter of the Su family left.

I was very puzzled. How could Su Shi come here?

Lin Liangchen put Xu Han's coat aside and said, "A big event happened today."

"What's the big deal, did the Yu family clear the dowry, or did the money go away?" Xu Han raised his eyes and asked.

"That's so fast, I guess my mother's dowry. I won't be able to get it back." Lin Liangchen said worriedly.

"Why do you say that?" Xu Han's eyes were full of questions.

Lin Liangchen said: "You don't know how bad the central feeder in this general's mansion is..."

Originally, he briefly explained the situation of these shops in the General's Mansion, "I didn't expect that Mrs. Yu would manage the shops like this, and it seems that Mrs. Yu's own dowry doesn't have much money..."

"How could this be?" Xu Han was surprised, "I suspect that Yu shi secretly gave the money to someone, otherwise..."

An's dowry shop, as well as Yu's own, and the shop of the General's Mansion, no matter which one, after a lot of tossing, they can support the large number of people in the General's Mansion, not to mention rich enough to rival the country, but at least The house is also not bad for money, and the result...

There are only three thousand taels in the book, and there is not much balance on each of the shops in the General's Mansion.

Everything was so strange that Lin Liangchen had to think more.

Xu Han's brows suddenly wrinkled, "Could it be that he has a relationship with one of those people?"

Lin Liangchen woke up, "You mean that..."

If it is true, then that amount of money is really a huge help. If you want to raise soldiers or buy officials, the most important thing is money.

"If it is true, it must not be tolerated."

The key is who is behind the Yu family, which is worth thinking about, and whether this has anything to do with Yu Taishi.

"There shouldn't be any big waves at the moment, but... Mr. Yu should be driven crazy by me." Who would get so much money all of a sudden?

Even if she really doesn't drive Mrs. Yu crazy, the matter of money will definitely make her turn against the person behind her.

Five days later, just after breakfast, Lin Liangchen tidyed up and went to Yu's yard.

The two aunties who met Xu Yingyong on the road said, "Where is the eldest young lady going in the morning?"

"Hello, two concubines, I'll go to Madam's place to greet you." Lin Liangchen smiled and added in his heart that she was going to Mrs. Yu to settle the account!

"So that's the case, we're going to Madam's too, let's go together..." The two concubines didn't reveal it. Lin Liangchen greeted Mrs. Yu with a smile on his face because he suddenly went to greet Mrs. Yu.

"it is good."

Two more people, for Lin Liangchen, will not affect anything, maybe it will make Yu shi give up what he owes more quickly.

The three talked and laughed and went to Yu's place. When they arrived at the door, they were told by the girl in the yard that Yu's suddenly felt a cold today and no one was there.

The corners of Lin Liangchen's mouth almost went to the back of his head, and sure enough, the more this was the case, the more Mr. Yu would make excuses.

"The eldest young lady, are you going back with us now?" Huang Yiniang asked.

"No, you two aunties, you go back first, and I'll visit the next lady." Lin Liangchen politely declined Huang Yiniang's kindness.

Mrs. Yu wanted to take advantage of the wind and cold to hide, but there was no way. Even if Mrs. Yu wanted to, she would not give Mrs. Yu a chance, although Mrs. Yu had been running out for the past few days.
