When Wu Xindeng collapsed on the ground, he heard Longer say:
"When I get back to the second master, I have checked all the things that Wu Xindeng's family has handed in. There is a courtyard in Gouwei Hutong in Nancheng, a grocery store, 930 taels of bank notes, 229 taels of broken silver, gold and silver
Six pieces of jewelry.
The total estimated value is six thousand seven hundred and eleven taels."
On the other side, Su Ming read:
"Back to the second master, according to the amount of money recorded by Lai Da, the total value of Wu Xindeng's money, plus interest, is two hundred and seventy thousand, five hundred and twenty taels."
Wu Xindeng opened his mouth wide and was stunned on the spot.
It wasn't until he got a big mouthful that Wu Xindeng regained his composure. His lips trembled for a long time before he straightened his eyes and said:
"How...why is there such a big difference...I...I'm sorry..."
.
It's not that Wu Xindeng doesn't understand that now is the time to spend money on life.
But these days he has been locked up, and his wife has been collecting money. Why is there such a big difference?
Wu Xindeng couldn't understand this question given his confusion.
Wu Xindeng is no older than Lai, who relied on Grandma Lai, an old tree with deep roots and luxuriant leaves, to cling to the Jia family; nor is Wu Xindeng better than Lin Zhixiao, who stepped into the position of housekeeper step by step with decades of housekeeping experience. p>
The only one Wu Xindeng can rely on is the Lai family.
The Lai family is a slave of the Jia family, and Wu Xindeng is a slave of the slaves.
Ever since he started working as a boy in the Jia family when he was a child, Wu Xindeng has been following Lai Da, constantly honoring Lai Da and flattering Lai Da.
Holding Lai Da's thigh tightly all the way is the history of Wu Xindeng's rise to fame.
As Lai Da gained more and more face in the Jia family, Wu Xindeng gained some face along the way.
Especially since Lai Da became the housekeeper, he needed his own people to hold key positions, so he immediately promoted his confidant Wu Xindeng to manage the accounting office.
Although at that time, Wu Xindeng couldn't even read the account books.
But whether you have the ability to manage the accounting room is not important, it is your own talents that are important.
Later, Wu Xindeng could understand the account books, but he didn't read them at all, because all the accounts were handled by Lai Da.
Wu Xindeng himself doesn't like messing around, he is an obedient "bad reminder", and he is also a "bad reminder" who keeps sending money to Lai Da.
No matter how much benefit Lai Da had already taken, Wu Xindeng would give a larger portion of his share to honor Lai Da, so most of the money he was greedy for was given to Lai Da.
It was precisely because he could be so "sensible" that Wu Xindeng was able to rise all the way up, and later became the general manager of the accounting department and bank account, until he took the fourth position in the "Prime Minister's Office" and became the "Fourth Master Wu" in the Rongguo Mansion.
”.
Wu Xindeng, the dignified "Fourth Master Wu", has full control over all the accounting rooms, grain warehouses, bank vaults and purchases in Rongguo Mansion. In fact, he never looks at the ledgers carefully. Therefore, he has no idea how much money Lai Da has embezzled.
.
Usually, he and his younger brother Wu Xinzhu would do whatever Lai Da asked him to do.
Lai Da wrote "receive the ticket" by himself, took the right card and approved the amount of money and the year, month and date, and then handed the right card to Wu Xinzhu, who was in charge of collecting the ticket in the bank, so the Jia family's money was sent to Lai Da
in the hand.
At the end of each month, Wu Xindeng records all the invoices in his account, ensuring that the final accounts and money are consistent.
As for how to divide the obtained silver, Wu Xindeng, Wu Xinzhu, Qian Hua, Dai Liang, etc. should each get how much, how much they can get, Wu Xindeng has no idea at all.
Therefore, the "general manager" in charge of the Jia family's accounting room and bank account is a complete fool.
Moreover, this stupid manager not only didn’t know how much money he had embezzled from the Jia family, he even didn’t know how much money he had gotten from the family.
Because he never pays attention to the accounts at home.
Well, he doesn’t know how much money has come into his family, so his wife must know, right?
No! His wife Wu Xindeng’s family doesn’t know either!
Because often the money sent to Wu Xindeng has already been spent by Wu Xindeng’s son Wu Bing before Wu Xindeng and his wife see it.
.
Wu Xindeng originally had three sons: Wu Jia, Wu Yi and Wu Bing.
The reason why he gave his son such a random name is because Wu Xindeng is afraid of worrying about everything, and the same goes for naming his son.
Isn’t it just a matter of giving a name?
Why bother so much?
Looking through the dictionary? Still racking your brains? What kind of fortune teller are you looking for?
Forget it, just arrange them in order.
Originally I wanted to call him Wu Da, Wu Er, Wu San, Wu Si or something like that, but his younger brother Wu Xinzhu had a son before his brother, so he named his son Wu Da.
Wu Xinzhu also said proudly: No matter how many more sons he gives birth to in the future, they will all have names, which will save trouble now!
So damn hateful!
So, when Wu Xindeng gave birth to his eldest son, he could only call him Wu Jia.
Fortunately, Wu Xindeng's daughter-in-law is also very ambitious. Even though she didn't give birth to a son at the beginning, in the next four years, she gave birth to three in a row, and all three were sons.
Therefore, when Wu Xinzhu's family still only had "Wu Er", Wu Xindeng's family already had Wu Bing. It is obvious that Wu Xindeng's progress is really remarkable.
It happened to be those few years when Wu Xindeng started to prosper with Lai Da, and Wu Xindeng was also very proud.
Who would have known that good luck always comes with bad luck? When Wu Xindeng became the accountant, his second son Wu Yi was killed by a tile that fell from his house.
Later, he became the general manager of the accounting department and the treasury. That year, his eldest daughter became seriously ill and died.
When he took the fourth position as the steward of the Rongguo Mansion, his eldest son Wu Jia accidentally fell into a well and drowned.
Of the four children, only one younger son, Wu Bing, was left. Of course Wu Xindeng and his wife regarded him as their eyes.
As a result, the only "eyeball" of this couple was spoiled to the point of losing their humanity.
The rich are spoiled by mules and horses, and the poor are spoiled by children.
Wu Xindeng and his wife are no longer poor, but they still spoil their children and ignore them.
The couple both felt that they had spent their whole lives serving people, and three more children had died. In the end, only the youngest son was left, and nothing could be said to make him feel a little wronged.
The best way to avoid injustice is, of course, to let the younger son do whatever he wants.
It can be regarded as compensation for the younger son.
It is also a psychological compensation for myself.
The result is that Wu Bing is very good at spending money. He has taken money as money since he was a child. Whenever he sees money at home, he will just take it and spend it without asking.
There is another reason why Wu Bing loves to spend money, and that is status.
Although Wu Xindeng and his wife tried every means to prevent their son from working in the Jia family, Wu Bing was unable to be a slave.
For this reason, sixteen-year-old Wu Bing hated Wu Xindeng and his wife. They asked for money when they met and robbed them if they were not given.
Only when he took money to eat, drink and have fun with the brothers on the street, Wu Bing was not worried that they would laugh at him as a "slave young man".
.
Jia Lian shook his head and sighed, his face full of regret:
"I gave you three days, you can't blame me this time."
Wu Xindeng grinned, his face becoming more and more ugly. Suddenly, he burst into tears and banged his head on the ground:
"I beg you, Mr. Lian, to be merciful, but don't blow up this slave. Oh, yes, I want to expose you! I want to expose you and make atonement for my crime!"
