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

Yue Shanglou, the leader of the Cao Gang, is actually so familiar with Qin Jingyuan? !

Qin Jingchang's face turned pale.

On the other side of the mourning shed, Yue Shanglou had a solemn expression on his face, and he bowed and kowtowed meticulously.

After the worship ceremony, the filial son returns the gift.

Yue Shanglou looked around outside the mourning shed and asked loudly, "Where is my niece?"

Nanny Chun quickly helped Qin Shu out of the mourning hall.

Yue Shanglou bowed to Qin Shu.

Qin Shu's eyes were red and her face was full of tears. She bowed to Yue Shanglou in return.

Yue Shanglou said, "My dear brother and his wife have passed away. I hope your niece will bear the pain and mourn for me. In the past, my dear brother Qin took good care of me and was very kind to me. Now that the family has encountered a great disaster, I am a rough man and can't help much."

He turned around and waved his hand. More than a dozen burly men behind him stepped forward and saluted.

"These are my brothers from the Cao Gang. From today on, they will stay in the mansion and wait for your orders. You don't have to be polite. Just order them around if you need anything. If anyone dares to disobey, just tell your uncle and he will take care of them for you!"

These words were sonorous, powerful and resounding.

After he finished speaking, he turned around and asked loudly: "Did you hear what I said clearly?!"

All the big men bowed their hands and responded loudly: "Yes! We will follow the leader's orders."

The sound was deafening, causing waves of echoes in the air above the mansion.

Yue Shanglou was very satisfied and shouted, "Call someone!"

Everyone shouted in unison: "Miss!"

The birds resting on the trees outside the mansion were frightened away, and the people in the mansion who were whispering just now suddenly fell silent.

Qin Shu subconsciously glanced at her second uncle.

Qin Jingchang's face was blue and black, and he could no longer express in words the overwhelming feelings he had in his heart at that moment.

Qin Shu's lips twitched, and she knelt down in front of Yue Shanglou, "Thank you, Uncle Yue, for your kindness, niece!"

Yue Shanglou bent down and helped Qin Shu up personally, and whispered quickly in her ear: "If there is anything, ask someone to find me."

Qin Shu was choked with sobs and could not speak, she burst into tears.

The elder of the Qin clan came over and invited Yue Shanglou to join them.

Yue Shanglou declined politely, "I am busy with the affairs of the gang, so I cannot stay for long. Please pay more attention to my niece's affairs in the future. Don't bully her because she has no parents and do such unkind, unjust, dirty and shameless things, which will make people laugh at the Qin family for being unrighteous."

He looked at the extremely unpleasant face of the elder, and laughed, "I am a rough man, I have not read many books, I don't know the nonsense rules of scholars, and I don't have so many twists and turns in my mind. I am straightforward and I speak directly, the old gentleman won't mind, right?"

Who dares to care about what the Cao Gang leader says?

The elder of the clan forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, "How dare I..."

"That's good." Yue Shanglou clasped his fists cheerfully, "Goodbye!"

The man quickly left with the rest of his men.

The people in the East Palace still hadn't come back to their senses.

Second Aunt's face was a little ugly, and she stammered, "It turns out that my niece had already hired help, but suddenly so many people came to eat and drink..."

"Second aunt is wrong. These were not requested by my niece. It was Gang Leader Yue who was a man of justice. He asked his men to come and look after my niece because of our past friendship."

Qin Shu looked at her second uncle's dark face and said, "Since these people are sent by Gang Leader Yue to help my niece, all expenses in the mansion will naturally be paid from my niece's private pocket. Nanny Chun."

Nanny Chun quickly bowed and said, "Miss."

Qin Shu said, "Take these people and settle them down. Arrange a few guards at the storehouse of my parents, and the rest can go to the East Garden to guard. There are people coming and going here, and my sisters are here too, so be careful not to bump into them. Send someone to the big kitchen to tell them to open a special stove for the warriors, with enough meat and wine, and ask Xiao Xing for the silver."

Nanny Chun agreed, walked up to the brothers of the Cao Gang, knelt down and saluted, "My fellow warriors, please follow me."

A dark-faced man from the Cao Gang said, whether intentionally or unintentionally, "Isn't this the home of the great manager Qin? Why do we have to depend on others to decide who to hire and how to spend our money?"

Another one deliberately said loudly: "Who knows? How can we, the unsophisticated people, know about the affairs of the educated people?"

"The eldest brother of the Meng family in our gang passed away some time ago, but his little girl was not bullied to this extent, right?"

"That's because Brother Meng's family has no money..."

Qin Jingchang's face became even uglier.

But so many people in the mansion were watching, and many relatives and friends from outside came to pay their respects. If he reprimanded Qin Shu on the spot, it would prove that he was bullying an orphan girl who had just lost her parents.

He smiled awkwardly and whispered to Cheng Zonghao, "Look, she won't take any loss. Alas, there's nothing we can do. My niece is stubborn and my eldest brother spoiled her when he was alive. Now that her parents have just passed away, she's in a bad mood and it's normal for her to look at others in a bad light."

Cheng Zonghao didn't say anything, but he kept muttering in his heart: He has a stubborn personality and won't suffer any loss. He always gives people a cold shoulder.

And with the Cao Gang as a backer...

No, he had to go back home and discuss with his parents whether or not to continue with this marriage.

The first day of the funeral came to an end with everyone having their own thoughts.

When it was time to light the lamps, everyone had finished their dinner, and Qin Shu asked someone to invite the elders of the clan and her second uncle and aunt over.

The second uncle was very impatient. He frowned and said angrily, "Niece, the uncles are all old and have been busy all day. Why are you so ignorant? Why do you have to talk about it so late? Can't you wait until the funeral is over?"

Qin Shu's face turned pale, and she nodded slightly after hearing what he said. "Uncle is right. But, my niece said yesterday that the funeral ceremony in the mansion will be hosted by Uncle and Aunt, and the elders of the clan will also come to help. We can't let Aunt worry about anything that's short of money, and we can't let the clan work in vain."

She looked at the eldest daughter-in-law of the clan leader's family. Seeing that she looked solemn but could not hide her joy, she said softly, "My niece is a girl. She can't read or do big accounts. But the accountant in the mansion is quite capable. He just handed over all the expenses for today. It's just right that my great-uncle and aunt are here. My niece wants to check today's accounts so that I won't forget them after a long time. I wonder if my great-uncle and aunt are willing to do so?"

"Let's do today's work today, that's right. We are not busy either, even if we are a little tired, nothing is more important than the affairs of the East Palace." The clan leader agreed very readily.

Qin Shu raised her hand and picked up the account book on the table beside her, stood up and handed it to the first clan leader, "My aunt just said that the guests at the funeral were originally scheduled to have 16 dishes per table, eight meat dishes and eight vegetarian dishes."

"Today, there are only ten dishes, four meat dishes and six vegetable dishes. The fish is not fresh and the chicken is not whole."

"Also, the incense table, candles, and paper money on the sacrificial table were not originally from the Ma family. The memorial tablet was not big enough, many of the candles were broken, and the paper money could not be burned through..."

"I calculated that today's expenses, including the guests and the sacrifice, totaled 732 taels and 5 cents. Since it was the problem that was discovered by the eldest aunt, the same amount of silver will be allocated from the public account to the eldest aunt as a reward for her hard work. Does the second aunt have any objection?"
