Quick travel to save a miserable life
Chapter 53 The bride-to-be (11)
In the second half of the day, Mr. Lin, who had finished his work outside, returned to his house and saw the checklist of the housekeepers' homes submitted by Lin Hui.
Looking at this long list of belongings, Mr. Lin was so angry!
Although I knew that there must be problems with some of the stewards, I didn’t expect that they would go so far. No one of the dozen or so stewards was innocent!
He does not have a demanding temper. He has been in business for many years, and he is well aware of the practice of asking people to eat and drink. He will not be too harsh. After all, if the water is clear, there will be no fish, but excessive corruption means that he cannot Tolerated!
Here, the behavior of the stewards in the kitchen and warehouse was particularly abominable. They simply wanted to move the good things from the Lin Mansion to their own home and treat the Lin Mansion's warehouse as their own. This made Father Lin extremely angry!
However, after the anger passed, Father Lin calmed down again.
After carefully examining the list, Father Lin discovered that most of these stewards were from the same family, and several of them were even related to each other. These people were in charge of the clothing, food, housing, transportation and other aspects of the Lin Mansion.
Now they are just lining their own pockets. What if they not only seek money, but also have other bad intentions? If these people really get in touch and attack the master together, it will be really hard to guard against it!
Thinking of this, Mr. Lin couldn't help but shudder and looked at his daughter next to him.
It turns out that Huihui's worries were not groundless. She had spent many years in charge of the family business in vain. She claimed to be shrewd, but she was unaware of the mistakes and omissions under her nose, and she allowed her family to live in such a dangerous situation!
Thanks to my daughter's alertness and insight into opportunities, otherwise if they continue to be greedy, their appetite will be even bigger. And if my father and daughter are not as good as they want, will they treat us...
Mr. Lin simply didn’t dare to think about it!
Seeing Father Lin's face looking gloomy and uncertain, and then his eyes slowly turning red, Lin Hui couldn't help but be a little surprised: What's wrong with him?
Master Lin turned sideways and slowly said to Lin Hui: "It was all because of my father's negligence that these unscrupulous slaves hid so much property in the house. Have they ever neglected you?"
"That's not true. With dad here, who dares to neglect me!" Lin Hui replied briskly. It turned out that her dad was doing this, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"That's good!" Mr. Lin said.
He pondered for a moment and then asked: "What do you plan to do with these stewards?"
"Depending on the amount of embezzlement, if the amount is small, the person will be demoted or dismissed and will no longer be used. If the amount is large, all the property will be confiscated and the whole family will be sold!" Lin Hui was categorical.
Mr. Lin agreed upon hearing this: "Okay, let's do as you say and deal with it together with yesterday's batch of servants!"
"It's just..." Lin Hui pretended to hesitate.
"Just what?"
"It's just that Uncle Wang is still recovering from his illness. After all, he has been the housekeeper for a long time. If the house has to deal with so many people all at once, wouldn't it be a good idea to wait until Uncle Wang comes back to work?" Lin Hui asked hesitantly.
After hearing this, Father Lin hesitated for a while, then thought about it and made up his mind: "You don't have to worry about this. After all, your Uncle Wang is old and has lost his energy. When he recovers, let him officially step down as the housekeeper." Let Mr. Qi be promoted to a regular job. When the time comes, I will release his residence and create a village in his name so that he can live his life well."
When Lin Hui heard this, she couldn't help but secretly cursed: He wants to harm our whole family, why don't we give him Zhuangzi to support him in his old age!
The internal slander was the internal slander, but Lin Hui said respectfully: "Yes, just do what daddy said!"
Lin Hui then told Manager Qi to go about his business and forget about it.
When Li Gu returned to the house, he found that the atmosphere in the house was even weirder. The servants were more careful than usual, and they all acted quietly and did not say much. Even Lin Hui's favorite Siqin, the joking girl, looked serious.
It's no wonder that Si Qin, her mother is the manager of the sewing room, her home was raided this time, and some scattered precious clothing materials and more than two hundred taels of silver were found. She was feeling ashamed and uneasy at the moment. I begged the lady but I was too ashamed to ask!
After finally waiting until Lin Hui returned to the room after dinner, as soon as Fang entered the room, Siqin knelt down in front of Lin Hui with a plop.
With tears in her eyes, she raised her head and said to Lin Hui: "Miss, I know I shouldn't speak. She made a mistake she shouldn't have made and should be punished. However, she is the mother who gave birth to me after all. My father has no errands, my grandparents are old, and I have three younger siblings who are still young. Can you..." As she spoke, she burst into tears and fell deeply to the ground.
Seeing that Lin Hui just looked at Si Qin without speaking, Mo Hua, Yu Qi, and Zhishu, who wanted to follow suit and begged for mercy, did not dare to speak for a while.
After waiting for a long time, Lin Hui said: "According to the rules, your mother should be dismissed from her job, her property confiscated, and she should no longer be an errand." After speaking, he looked at her reaction.
Siqin's tears flowed more quickly when he heard this, his lips trembled, but he could not speak.
"That's all. For the sake of our past friendship, let your mother return what she shouldn't have to the government. You and your family will have your deeds returned, your registration cancelled, and you can leave the government and become common people!"
"What about me?" Siqin was stunned when he heard this and asked.
"You and your family should go out of the house together!" Lin Hui said lightly.
Siqin burst into tears when he heard this, and several others also felt that the young lady was being too cruel this time!
They all came to serve the young lady when they were seven or eight years old. They spent more time with the young lady than with their own family members. After all these years, they actually let Si Qin go out so easily!
Lin Hui ignored how the others looked at her with disbelief and sat down in front of the dressing table.
After all, she is a modern person at heart. Even if she tries her best to imitate her, there will inevitably be many differences compared to the original person.
Especially some details of life, as a man, even a father, Mr. Lin would not pay too much attention, but these changes cannot be hidden from the maids around him.
Even if this incident doesn't happen, I still have to find a way to separate these people from me. Now is the opportunity, let's take away one by one first!
Even so, she still ordered the governor to ask Si Qin to take away all the savings and rewards over the years. She also quietly gave Zhang a hundred taels of silver notes. The money could be used to start a small business or buy a house. With more than ten acres of land, their family would not be without a living source.
And Li Gu was shocked when he learned about the changes in the house in the past half day!
These stewards, who in his eyes looked like dogs, were all dealt with in one day. They were dismissed, their homes were ransacked, and their sales were sold. Not a single one was left!
Fortunately, Butler Wang was still there, and he couldn't help but feel lucky.
However, Butler Wang's stewards all ended up like this, can he still be okay?
Li Gu began to feel uneasy.
