After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

Liu Yunxiang looked up at the old lady and saw that she had her face lowered and her eyes lowered, watching the development of the situation quietly with the dignity of an elder.

The eldest lady sat aside, coughing slightly from time to time, with only indifference in her expression.

After the Hou Mansion was ransacked, both of them fell ill. She could only pick up the mess, but there was no money in the account, so she took out her dowry.

In the most difficult time, she did not starve them.

She has no shortage of ginseng, bird's nest, Ganoderma lucidum and donkey hide gelatin, and all kinds of precious supplements.

But now, she was hollowed out, so they sent her to eat light meals.

This family is really disrespectful of the elderly, the sick pretend to be ignorant, the Buddhists have no kindness, and the younger ones are even more arrogant.

Liu Yunxiang smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law, please don't slander me. Please tell me what's wrong with this account."

Mrs.

Liu Yunxiang lowered his eyes and sneered, "My mother is old, my eldest sister-in-law is frail, and my second sister-in-law is precious. If ordinary charcoal is too choking, I must use golden charcoal. Here are the extra 1000 taels."

"Why didn't I know? You must have found some excuse to blame us."

"This account goes in and out. It's easy to check. All you have to do is ask the charcoal shop that supplies charcoal to the house every year to check the accounts."

Mrs.

"I really don't want to burn it. If my second sister-in-law doesn't believe it, just check the brochure of charcoal used in winter at home."

Mr.

Liu Yunxiang sighed slowly: "This is the person who managed the prison of the Ministry of Punishment last year. Let the official take care of the second master and don't freeze to death in there."

Ms. Xue became even more shameless and hurriedly pointed to another item, "Then this item, the monthly expenditure of 100 taels, is talking about supporting relatives. How can we have distant relatives to help..."

"Okay!" The old lady interrupted the second lady, "Forget about the trivial matters."

Liu Yunxiang smiled and said, "No, since the account has been put on the table, if I don't explain it clearly, wouldn't I be really wronged? This distant relative, on my mother's side, is also responsible for this account. The second lady is not as good as Ask mother."

Mrs. Xue looked at the old lady and saw that the old lady glared at her and did not dare to say anything at the moment.

Liu Yunxiang turned the account book to the end, "When I entered the house, I have a total of 1 taels of silver in three years. This is all my dowry. You eat my things and use mine, but in the end you even settled the accounts for me, saying that I am greedy for money. , what’s the point?”

"Okay, one family won't talk to each other," the old lady said angrily.

Mrs. Xue snorted, "That's what mother said."

Liu Yunxiang said secretly: How shameless.

"Second brother, you have something else to do with your account today." The old lady looked at Mr.

After being reminded by the old lady, Mrs. , there must be a way."

The eldest lady had been silent, and now she said angrily: "You are in charge of the central bank. Where the money comes from and where it goes is your business. What are you discussing with us?"

"It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. I have no choice. Otherwise, the power of running the house will be given to you, my sister-in-law?"

"Ahem." The eldest lady coughed a few times, turned to the old lady and said, "Mother, I can't stand the cold, so I'm going back first."

The old lady frowned, "You can't kill anyone if you sit here for a while and a half. The food and clothing for your main house are in the Marquis Mansion. Don't even think about escaping cleanly every time."

The eldest lady had no choice but to sit back, but she closed her eyes to rest her mind, as if she didn't want to listen or see.

Mrs. Xue looked at Liu Yunxiang again, "Brother and sister, how about I return the power of running the family to you?"

Liu Yunxiang said helplessly: "I have spent all my money on my dowry, but I have no money to repair the holes."

"This……"

The old lady stomped her cane and said, "Okay, I asked you not to call me poor, but to find a way. Let's do this. You will first spend 5000 taels of silver per room to tide over the difficulties at home."

Upon hearing this, Mrs.

The eldest lady originally wanted to pretend to be dead, but she had to say something at this time, "I am a widow, let alone get so much money."

The old lady snorted coldly, "There is no money in the account, and the kitchen can hardly open the pot. I have to let them cook porridge and vegetables every day, and whoever wants to eat well pays for it out of his own pocket. You all have bird's nests, ginseng, and abalone." Yes, now you say you have no money, do you think I am an old woman who is easy to fool?"

When the second lady heard this, she knew that she had been used as a weapon by the old lady, and even cheated her after using it.

The eldest lady had nothing to say. After all, she couldn't argue with the ginseng chicken soup that was always served at every meal.

Liu Yunxiang sneered secretly, he was indeed waiting for them here!

She sighed, "It seems that I am the only one who really has no money. I can only eat those boiled vegetables. I haven't seen any meat for half a month."
