If the business woman does not help the poor, the villain's dream of prosperity will be shatter

The clan leader was so angry that his face turned purple: Well, one thousand and two taels of silver are gone!

Second Aunt raised her chin proudly: Want to take money from her?

It’s just wishful thinking!

Qin Shu lowered her eyes to hide the sarcasm in them.

Even after all this, he still refuses to return the money he embezzled. It seems that he has already given it away.

However, Liu Yinghua was so anxious that she could not think of an excuse to take out more money from the East Palace to fill the hole. The funeral expenses could only be paid with the money from the West Palace.

Considering that Liu Yinghua values ​​money more than her life, I'm afraid she would be stingy and pass off inferior goods as good ones, and charge ten taels for one tael of silver.

Qin Shu pinched the handkerchief and coughed lightly. "Before I came here, I had already told the accountant that if Second Aunt needs to withdraw money during this period, just sign and seal with the accountant and you can withdraw it. The accountant will have someone to check and record all the expenditures and income during this period."

"My parents have earned a fortune, so we should use the best items for the funeral. We can't save money by doing something too shabby and making a fool of ourselves."

Except for Second Uncle and Second Aunt whose faces turned dark instantly, the elders from all clans stroked their beards to express their agreement.

Qin Shu continued, "All expenses for the funeral ceremony should be reconciled every day. If there is a shortage of money, inferior goods are passed off as good ones, or the account office has extra money that cannot be put to use... any aunts and sisters-in-law in the clan who can provide evidence, as long as the evidence is solid, we will give them more money."

She looked at Liu Yinghua sincerely, "It's not that my niece doesn't trust Second Aunt, it's just that the people in the mansion's purchasing department are treacherous. Two years ago, mother even sold a few corrupt servants."

"The mansion is in a mess right now, and Second Aunt is bound to be unable to take care of it sometimes. So we need the uncles and aunts in the family to take more care of it."

"If there really is such a thing as passing inferior goods off as good ones and embezzling money, we cannot let Second Aunt contribute and then be ridiculed by outsiders for not putting in the effort. But we cannot let the clan contribute and offend others but not get any benefit at all."

In other words, if Liu Yinghua did not do a good job and her servants secretly made trouble and profited from the funeral, if anyone in the clan could prove that the silver and goods were not paid for, he would be compensated with the amount of silver lost in the account.

When Liu Yinghua heard this, she almost vomited blood: In this case, she would have to put all her efforts into keeping a close eye on these greedy and black-hearted villains in the mansion, and would not let them cause any trouble and lose the money in the account.

This is all her family’s money!

Especially, if you lose one ounce, you have to replenish one ounce in the tribe, and that means double the loss over and over again!

It hurts just thinking about it!

Liu Yinghua was sharpening her knife, and the light in her eyes was so bright that even Nanny Chun's heart trembled.

However, Qin Shu is not done yet.

When the whispers of the crowd gradually subsided, Qin Shu continued, "My dear uncles, second uncles, and second aunts."

After everyone's eyes were on her, Qin Shu slowly said, "My niece just mentioned her dowry."

She placed the thick stack of dowry lists on the table beside her and patted it gently. As she wished, she saw her second aunt's bright eyes brighten a few shades in an instant.

"This is the dowry list, including the 300,000 taels of silver I mentioned earlier."

Several clan elders and the second uncle and second aunt couldn't help but swallow their saliva: How much wealth did the Jingyuan couple earn!

The dowry for my daughter alone is three hundred thousand taels of silver, and there’s also the dowry!

Everyone knows that when a wealthy family prepares a dowry for their daughter, they start preparing it from the time she is still in swaddling clothes.

Such a thick stack would take at least a hundred people to lift!

Second Aunt's eyes were so bright that they seemed to be burning.

Qin Shu pursed her lips and said, "Now that the mansion has suddenly encountered a huge change, it is still unknown what decision the Cheng family will make. My niece is young, and I am also worried that the mansion will be busy during this period of time, and some short-sighted people will have inappropriate thoughts about my niece's dowry."

She glanced at everyone's faces and said, "So I would like to ask the clan leader to keep these dowries for me..."

Qin Shu paused here deliberately, waiting for Second Aunt to jump up, before continuing with the rest of the sentence, "List."

Liu Yinghua sat back down, somewhat disappointed.

Qin Shu looked at Second Aunt a little embarrassedly, "It's not that my niece doesn't trust Second Aunt, but my niece is young and I'm afraid that the servants in the mansion will not obey me. If Second Aunt is in charge, and my dowry is short or less, I won't ask Second Aunt for it."

Seeing Second Aunt's pale face, Qin Shu continued, "Especially if this matter gets out, and outsiders say that Second Aunt took advantage of her niece's parents who had both passed away and was helpless, and embezzled her niece's dowry to support her own daughter. That would be like throwing dirty water on Second Aunt, and it would humiliate the reputation of Second Aunt and her sisters."

Second Aunt smiled awkwardly, but her expression suddenly changed several times.

Qin Shu saw this and snorted in her heart, saying, "These dowries will be kept in the storehouse of the mansion. When my stepbrother comes to the mansion, Second Aunt will be in charge of the general affairs of the mansion. The dowries are in the mansion, and they are also kept by Second Aunt."

"Shu'er wants to ask the clan leader to keep the dowry list for her. Shu'er will keep the storeroom key and the other dowry list for herself."

"Shu'er's parents have just passed away, and she will have to observe mourning for them for three years. During these three years, Shu'er can give the interest on the 300,000 taels of dowry to the clan, as a token of her gratitude for the clan school that Daddy has devoted himself to running."

The clan leader stroked his beard and nodded continuously, "This is a good idea. One copy of the real object, one copy of the album and one copy of the key, each person will keep and perform their respective duties. Shu'er will certainly not steal from the storehouse. On the day of Shu'er's wedding, she will open the storehouse, and I will compare the album with the real objects in the storehouse. If the three copies match, then the items are of course complete."

If all three things were in one person's hands, Qin Shu would not be able to protect them all by herself.

Liu Yinghua would definitely embezzle the dowry to support her daughter.

With the clan leader watching over her, Liu Yinghua couldn't do anything wrong.

Moreover, there is the interest on the 300,000 taels of silver.

Who knows if there will be any changes in Qin Shu and Cheng’s marriage?

Without Jingyuan and his wife, Qin Shu, an orphan of a merchant family with humble status, might not be willing to marry the second son of the governor.

If the marriage falls through, no matter if Qin Shu marries herself or finds a husband, the supply she promised will continue.

Three hundred thousand taels of silver, the interest alone would be several thousand taels a year.

Of course the clan leader would rather manage it himself, but Liu Yinghua would definitely not agree.

On this side, the patriarch was clacking beads on the abacus, while on the other side, Liu Yinghua had a gloomy expression on her face and said she didn't want to keep the dowry for Qin Shu no matter what.

If Liu Yinghua doesn't care about the dowry, the clan leader can't interfere.

As long as the dowry is in the East Palace, once your son is adopted, it is equivalent to having him under your nose.

She can only take action if others don't know the situation.

These are priceless jewelry and real gold and silver!
