Chapter 15 If you don't want me to touch your dowry
Now that he is ready to return to the Yao family, Gu Qingling is not ready to let the Yao family continue to be "shabby".
Her goal is to be a laid-back old lady, like a rice insect, who not only has people to support her, but can also enjoy her old age comfortably.
If she doesn't train these "wastes", how can she still enjoy it?
I was thinking about this matter before I came back, and now, the matter of Mr. Yao is an "opportunity". Although the pressure of a thousand taels of gold is a bit heavy, the Yao family's skinny camel is bigger than the horse. As long as the Yao family
Sell it, piece it together, and add the little rouge recipe in her hand, no matter what, she can get a thousand taels of gold.
Second Master Yao was dumbfounded: "Ah?!"
He could understand these mother's words if they were taken apart, but how come he couldn't understand them at all when they were put together?
What does it mean that he has actually "grown up"?
He married a wife and had children, wouldn’t he have grown up long ago?
"Ah what? Look at your eldest brother, although he is not very good and rests on his ancestors' legacy, at least he has 500 households," Gu Qingling pointed at Uncle Yao who had been silent and said,
"It's the Viscount again. Even if I leave one day, he can keep these things and live a good life with your sister-in-law. But what about you?"
Turning his attention back to Mr. Yao again, Gu Qingling continued, "As soon as I leave, you will be kicked out by your elder brother. How much do you think you can get from the Yao family? No matter how much you get, it is yours.
With that little ability, do you think you can support your wife and children?"
Uncle Yao touched his nose after being called. Although the example his mother gave was a bit inappropriate, to be honest, his mother was not wrong.
Not to mention the current situation of the Yao family, even if the Yao family really had "millions of wealth", given the temperament of his second brother, he probably wouldn't be able to keep it and would squander it all within a few years.
If his mother could really take care of his second brother, it wouldn't be surprising that he played the "bad guy" in this example.
Suddenly hearing his mother-in-law say this, Mr. Yao was a little confused, because he really hadn't thought about this problem.
What kind of person is Mr. Yao?
If you say he's selfish, I guess he's a little bit. If you say he's a bad person, he's not entirely bad.
He is just a bit "selfish", he only cares about his own food and drink, and does not care about outsiders. He is the kind of person who "only cares about the present" and never considers the consequences.
But yes, Mr. Yao has never worried about money matters since he was born. He has enjoyed himself for half his life, so it is normal not to think about it.
"Mom, why do you say that to me?" Second Master Yao felt a little uncomfortable and lacked confidence. "Actually, your son is not that bad, right? After all, I am also the second Master Yao of the Yao family, my father.
He is an earl, and my brother is a viscount..."
"Your grandfather is still a Marquis!" Gu Qingling interrupted him and said, "But so what? Now you still owe others a thousand taels of gold, and you can't pay them back?"
"I……"
"How are you going to pay it back?"
Second Master Yao was a little scared: "Mom, you... what do you mean? Are you planning to let me pay it back myself? My son has so much money..."
As soon as Mrs. Yao Er heard that the situation was not right, she wanted to cry again, but before she could open her mouth, she heard Gu Qingling say: "Shut up! Whoever dares to cry in front of me again will pay for it."
Mrs. Yao Er suddenly became mute, wiping her tears and not daring to cry.
In her heart, there was a hatred: The old lady usually looked at her and her husband who loved her family, but why did she lose control at the critical moment? What does it mean? Is the usual love and affection all fake?
Gu Qingling was too lazy to pay attention to Mrs. Yao Er. Her current task was to make Mr. Yao realize clearly that even if he had a father who was an earl and an older brother who was a viscount, he would be nothing if he did not stand up for himself.
"Don't you think you are great?" Gu Qingling looked at Yao Erye and asked, "Now do you know what you are?"
Second Master Yao: "..." Why does this sound like a curse?
"Okay, since you have no idea, let me come up with one for you. Don't you always think that your father is an earl and your brother is a viscount, so you are great? OK, you have no money, so you can rely on your status.
Borrow it from others. For example, your brother, your sister-in-law, your wife, your friends... With so many people, you can't even borrow a thousand taels of gold, right?"
She even kindly helped Mr. Yao do the math. 1 tael of gold is equal to 10 taels of silver, so 1,000 taels of gold is equal to 10,000 taels of silver. The Yao family still has almost a thousand taels of silver in their account. In other words, Mr. Yao
We still need to borrow almost 90,000 taels of silver.
"As a mother, I should take the lead and set an example for everyone." Gu Qingling called her eldest maid Spring on the spot, checked the accounts of her private treasury, and scraped together a thousand taels of silver.
But she couldn't give this thousand taels of silver to Mr. Yao for free. After all, she was old and she didn't know when she would die. This thousand taels of silver was equivalent to her coffin board.
If Mr. Yao wants to touch her coffin board, he must make a contract, write down an IOU, and agree on a return date.
"Okay, I've finished writing my note. Let's also write one for the thousand taels of silver from the public." Gu Qingling blew on the IOU in her hand and said.
"Ah, you also need to write about the middle school?" Mr. Yao looked surprised.
"Why don't you write? The money in the company is not yours, it belongs to everyone. You have touched everyone's money, don't you need to give everyone an explanation?" Gu Qingling stared at Mr. Yao and said expressionlessly.
Second Master Yao felt the pressure and had to write one honestly.
When Mrs. Yao Er saw it on the side, she was anxious and angry: This fool, he just writes when the old lady asks him to do it, doesn’t he know how to act coquettishly and make trouble with the old lady? We are all a family, and we have to
What does it look like to write an IOU?
But in a hurry, Mrs. Yao Er did not dare to say anything, because once she opened her mouth, Gu Qingling would say: "If you don't write, fine, then you will pay back the money your man owes."
Mrs. Yao Er vomited blood: If she wants to have this money, does she need to say anything?
But even so, Mrs. Yao Er was still escaped and had a fate of being "borrowed". Because Gu Qingling's reason was simple: "He is your man, and you don't care about him yourself. Do you think others will care for you?"
"But...but I have no money." Mrs. Yao Er bit her lip, not wanting to touch her warehouse at all.
What a joke, all the money of the Yao family has been loaned out by her husband to pay off the debt. If she doesn't keep some private money, how will they live in this house in the future?
Gu Qingling stared at Mrs. Yao Er closely and said: "If you don't want me to touch your dowry, you'd better be more conscious. Or, you want your man to speak to you in person, so that he feels that in the eyes of his woman,
Is money more important than him?"
Gu Qingling admitted that her words were a bit "stoking dissension", but who made Mrs. Yao Er so ignorant?
Sure enough, once these words were spoken, they were extremely lethal.
Second Master Yao immediately looked over, stared at Mrs. Yao Second and asked: "Ms. Yu, what my mother said is not true, is it?"
Mrs. Yao Er was so angry that she wanted to bite Gu Qingling. But with Mr. Yao's eyes on her, she didn't dare to say it even if she thought so.
She said with a stiff expression: "Master, you don't know how much dowry I have... This is a thousand taels of gold, how can I get it? If I had so much money, I would have paid it back for you long ago.
.”
The problem is, she doesn’t have it, so she doesn’t have to pay for it, right?
