Chapter 71
Because Lai Wang made an excuse to let the woman go first, Lai Shun thought he had something important and wanted to give him a few more instructions.
Who would want to hear him looking forward and backward and being suspicious along the way?
Still saying that, I am capable of planning and making decisions, but I always get messed up when things happen.
Fortunately, his acting skills are good and he can still conceal himself in front of outsiders, so it doesn't cause serious problems.
I tried my best to relieve dad's stress along the way.
When they arrived at the old lady's courtyard, the father and son calmed down their emotions. They stood in the middle of the courtyard with their hands down, waiting quietly for the maids on the porch to come in and report.
Not long after, Wu Xindeng came out and said to his father and son: "Brother, please tell me the location of the account books. Brother, I can help you do the bookkeeping in front of the old lady."
This was not what the father and son had expected.
Because they guessed that after things got big, they would have to check the past accounts, so Laijia had already spared no expense in filling in all the holes in the past.
Fortunately, Lai was working as an errand for Wang Xifeng, so most of the money was taken by Wang Xifeng. He and his wife could only take some fragmentary benefits and did not dare to deduct too much, so there was not much shortfall to make up.
However, after hearing what Wu Xindeng said, Lai Wang opened his robe without hesitation, took a key from his waist and gave it to him, and detailed the location of the account book.
Wu Xindeng didn't say much, nodded at the father and son, and walked out of the courtyard.
About a quarter of an hour later, Wu Xindeng came back with several account books and entered the main room with some difficulty.
After that it was another long wait.
It wasn't until Laishun's belly started to growl that he saw a big girl with a round waist and slender shoulders and an oval face approaching.
Knowing that this was the famous person in front of Jia Mu, Laiwang and his son did not dare to neglect her. They hurriedly greeted her, one of them called her "Miss Yuanyang" and the other respectfully called her "Sister Yuanyang".
Probably because of the conflict that broke out in the courtyard a few days ago, Yuanyang took a careful look at Laishun.
I saw that he had a strong back, a bear's waist, a strong and ferocious appearance, and although he was very different from the white-faced young men often seen in the family, he also had a heroic demeanor.
He thought to himself that he had been fighting for his life, so no wonder he recognized Jiao Da as his godfather. It must have been due to mutual sympathy.
While thinking about it, Yuanyang called out: "Come and take care of the house, come and take care of things, come with me in."
You can finally get in!
Lai's father and son followed Yuanyang hurriedly into Jia Mu's living room.
As soon as he entered the door, he heard crackling sounds in the corner. Laishun glanced around with the corner of his eye and saw Wu Xindeng leading six or seven accounting offices, busy making calculations there.
But the number of account books was more than seven or eight times more than what Wu Xindeng brought back from Laiwang's house!
Obviously, this check is not limited to his own accounts.
Lai Shunzheng secretly speculated about those people who were involved, and then heard the tired voice of the old lady coming from the couch in the middle: "You two mistresses are indeed right about people. Both father and son are worthy of the waist badge."
The word "loyalty"."
At this time, Wang Xifeng intervened and said, "The old lady is very grateful. Zhou Rui's accounts are also very clear."
As she said that, she squinted at Wu Xindeng and sneered: "The bad debts left by Deng Haoshi are really eye-opening!"
Among them were Zhou Rui's accounts, which Laishun had already guessed, but he never expected that Wang Xifeng actually dug up Deng Haoshi's old accounts for comparison and foil.
But this is indeed a clever move.
You don't have to face several powerful housekeepers directly, but you can also slap those self-proclaimed "old residents of Rongfu" in the face accurately and hard.
"Okay."
Jia Mu shook her head, sighed, and waved her hand slightly: "Stop it all. There is nothing left to investigate about these innocent accounts."
Wu Xindeng's place immediately fell silent.
But then Wang Xifeng knelt down neatly on the ground and said crisply: "It's better to find out clearly, so as to save whoever takes it over and provokes me again!"
"What you said..."
"Ancestor!"
Wang Xifeng interrupted Jia Mu's words and said in rapid succession: "Before I came to our house, where did they take care of these things? I am ignorant, stupid in words, and straightforward in heart. If someone gives me a hammer, I will take it as my fault."
Zhen’s face is so soft that he can’t bear to be given a few kind words, and his heart becomes compassionate.”
"Besides, I have never experienced anything big, and I am timid. My wife felt a little uncomfortable, which scared me so much that I couldn't even sleep."
"I resigned several times, but my wife refused to resign. Instead, she said that I wanted to be used and refused to learn. Little did I know that I was sweating. I didn't dare to say a word or take a step.
.”
"You know, among all the housekeepers and grandmothers in our family, which one is easy to pester? If they make a mistake, they will make fun of her, but if they make a mistake, they will blame Sang and complain about Huai."
"'Sitting on a mountain and watching tigers fight', 'Borrowing a knife to kill', 'Inducing wind and blowing fire', 'Standing on the dry shore', 'Pushing over the oil bottle without helping it', are all martial arts skills. Besides, I am young and cannot be ranked first.
To suppress the crowd, I have to put my grudges in my eyes."
"What's even more ridiculous is that Rong's daughter-in-law suddenly died in the house. Brother Zhen knelt down in front of my wife again and again to beg for mercy, asking me to help him for a few days. I kept refusing, but my wife refused, so I had no choice but to obey."
"These days, I am busy both here and there. I am working so hard, even in the middle of the night, that I don't dare to say anything when I am sick or injured. I just try to survive by trying to survive!"
"I didn't expect anything good from working like a cow, but I never thought it would be like this..."
As she talked, she gradually broke down in tears, so she simply stopped and kowtowed to Jia Mu.
"How can you say this? How can you say this?!"
Seeing this, Jia Mu couldn't sit still. She stood up with crutches and hurriedly ordered: "Hurry, help her up! Since you girl has been wronged, I will obey you even if you say hell, why bother to harm yourself?"
body?!"
Xu, Ping'er and Yuanyang rushed forward and helped Wang Xifeng up with great difficulty.
Not wanting to knock down the gourd and pick up the gourd, Mrs. Wang next to her also fell to her knees and said: "Old lady, Feng Yatou and I have suffered some grievances and just repaid them, but those who are working as prostitutes and hairless beasts, we can't even say anything."
I need to organize my natal family!"
"This ancestral relative of hundreds of years has his bones broken but his tendons still attached. If we really get into trouble with these bastard words, I'm afraid the stone lion in front of the gate will laugh out loud!"
"At that time, Feng Yatou and I will not be able to survive. We are afraid that even if we die, we will not be able to see the ancestors of our two families!"
If Wang Xifeng was complaining, she had a vague intention of forcing her to marry.
If it were in the past, Mother Jia would probably be annoyed when her daughter-in-law was so aggressive. But today, the Rongguo Mansion is really in the wrong, so she can only say: "Get up, get up, I'll just obey you."
, this is making a fuss as if I am trying to protect someone!"
Wait until Mrs. Wang is also helped up.
The old lady walked back and forth with a cane and gave a decisive order: "Steward Wu, please post the checked accounts in front of the inner door, so that the confused bastards in this house can have a hard time figuring out who is clean and who is dirty.
!”
As she spoke, she slapped her cane hard and then ordered: "Inside are Lai Jiajie and Zhou Rui's wife, and outside are Lin Zhixiao and Wang'er. Even if the world turns upside down, we must find out who is causing trouble over nothing!"
Jia Mu's words were very serious, but in fact she only wanted to punish the culprit, regardless of the intention of the coercion - otherwise, almost everyone in the family was spreading rumors, so how could there be any need to go to the heavens to investigate?
Therefore, many people in the hall quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
The same is true for Laishun. Although he is not worried that Yang will betray him, he does not want his own flesh and blood to be disturbed.
in addition……
When did Wang Xifeng's stupid and bad debts become worthy of the word "innocent"?
