Lady of Rebirth

Su Zimo took Song Wenshu's money and bought some high-quality ginseng for the old lady. After taking it for half a month, the old lady could not be cured, but her energy was higher. The depression in the old lady's heart has also eased a lot, but the old man knows the destiny, and he knows that his destiny will not be long, so he will let go of some things if he can. He only looks at Aunt Feng's bulging belly, thinking that before he leaves, he can see At a glance, Su Zimo is smart and knows the old lady's heart best. He also takes extra care of Aunt Feng on weekdays. He eats and uses everything finely.

In the past, the old lady had money from her own house, and she was so frugal that she seldom used the money in the mansion. Now, the money for food and clothing is all spent in the mansion. In this way, Su Zimo also made a pair of high-quality golden nanmu coffins according to the old lady's first intention, and made some funeral clothes, all of which were made of high-quality fabrics. The old lady said that Master Song had passed away for a long time, so it is not suitable The coffins were buried together, so I chose a feng shui treasure land as the cemetery and spent a lot of money. After such a toss, the mansion was in short supply for a while. It was winter, and except for the old lady and Aunt Feng, no new clothes or meals were bought in other houses. Most of them are vegetarian. After a month, even the dogs in the nursing home have lost weight, let alone people. Song Junjie is mostly outside, but he didn't notice it. Ma Yue'e complained the most. A few days ago Fearing that the old lady would know that she was the one who did the tricks, she hid in her room all day long and dared not go out. Although the old lady said to arrest the real culprit, but there was no evidence and no evidence, so she had to let it go. Ma Yuee had the guts Seeing the bland food and the old clothes he was wearing to keep out the cold, he complained, "The beggars on the street eat better than this, and I wear this all the time. joke."

The girl Caixia has always been considerate, and said: "If the madam is in charge, she will definitely not skimp on food and clothing. If the master is like this, let alone us servants."

Ma Yue'e said: "Naturally, although my Song family can't be said to be rich and powerful, it's not as bad as it is. It's even worse than a small family."

Caiyue said: "Seeing that the old lady is going to die, I don't know if she can survive this winter. Now that the old lady is gone, she will be counted as the highest in seniority, and it is reasonable for the lady to be in charge of the family."

Ma Yuee snorted and said, "It's not that the old lady is partial. Su Zimo has only been in the family for more than two years, but he handed over this family to her. But it's useless to anger my son. Let his wife do his best. When his father was alive , when will it be our women's turn to speak."

Caiyue looked at her face, and said cautiously: "Why don't Madam take over?"

Ma Yue'e's heart moved when she heard the money. Since she was cheated, she can only live on the money. Otherwise, even if her food and clothing were treated harshly, she would still be able to eat and wear better. After being reminded by Caiyue, I was thinking about it. In the past, I was intimidated by the old lady, so I didn't fight for it. Now that the old lady is sick in bed, how can I manage these things? Besides, Song Junjie is the only male in this family, and the house is fertile. It should be inherited by Song Junjie, and she is Song Junjie's mother, so naturally she should have the final say in the backyard. It is reasonable for Su Zimo to hand over the house deed, land deed and account key. Cheng Po, Su Zimo wants to be the master of the house even if he doesn't suffer at all. How can there be such a beautiful thing, but he still has concerns, "What if she won't hand it over?"

Caiyue bowed her head, "One in her early seventies is not going with her parents, Madam only needs to take this one."

Ma Yuee praised happily: "Thanks to you being with me the longest, understanding my thoughts the most, and being the smartest, I will be in charge of the house, and you are indispensable."

Caiyue hurriedly said: "Thank you Madam."

Ma Yuee brought Caiyue to Su Zimo's place in full clothes.

The housekeeper of the Song family is also talking about things in Su Zimo's room at this moment: "According to the young lady's order, the money for the old lady's death has been deducted, and then the monthly money for this month will be distributed, and the account is already less than 500 taels. During the winter solstice, the land rent will not be harvested until the wheat is harvested next year at least, and the business in the shop has not been very good for a few months, and it was not enough to make ends meet last month.

Su Zimo flipped through the account book and said: "The old lady is sick, and her medicine must not be stopped. Aunt Feng is about to give birth, so she can't afford to eat poorly. There are still a lot of children's things that need to be bought. Don't be careless. Others can save money. Save it."

The housekeeper said: "It's been saved, I'm afraid it's still not enough."

Su Zimo looked up at the furnishings of the room, pointed to a few vases on the shelf and said, "These were brought by my natal family, and I sold them all. They should be exchanged for a few hundred taels of silver."

Zhong Ming, who had been idle by the side, heard what she said, and hurriedly said, "Sister Mo, how can you sell your natal family's things to subsidize the Song family?"

Su Zimo said: "It's difficult to eat and wear, why do you need these playthings?"

Zhong Ming said: "It's not as good as me..."

Su Zimo knew what she wanted to say, so he raised his hand to stop her, "It's not too late to say it until the end of the mountain."

The steward saw it, and sighed: "Young Madam has worked so hard for this family, and she has done everything she can, yet people still complain about it, thinking that Young Madam is pocketing her own money, what a heartbreaker! Alas!"

Su Zimo said: "I am not afraid of the slanting shadow, as long as I have a clear conscience."

The steward said: "It's hard to be sorry for the young lady."

When Ma Yuee came in, the housekeeper was about to leave, Ma Yuee said: "You don't have to go, I have something to say."

The so-called not going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, Su Zimo saw her coming aggressively, he must have something to do, and asked the housekeeper to stay, fearing that it might be related to money, he got up and gave up his seat, and stood aside with Zhong Ming.

Ma Yue'e didn't show politeness to her, and directly asked: "It's been cold recently, why don't you add winter clothes? And there are three meals a day, and you can't even see meat. Is the Song family too poor to open the pot?"

Su Zimo said neither humble nor overbearing: "Recently, the expenses in the mansion are indeed a bit high. It is inevitable that money will be reduced and diet will be reduced. It will be better after the New Year's Eve."

Ma Yuee sneered and said: "It's really expensive, or someone has other ideas. Now that the old lady is sick, she can't control the affairs of the backyard. Don't tell me there are no tigers and monkeys in the mountains to call you king."

The butler hurriedly said: "Everything that Young Madam said is true."

But Ma Yue'e scolded: "I'm talking about family affairs, you, an outsider, don't need to interrupt."

The old butler has been working hard in the Song family for decades. The old lady trusted him a lot when she was in charge of the house. Not to mention Su Zimo, she was humble and easy-going. She treated him as an elder and asked him for advice on many things. He couldn't help but feel chilled when he wiped out all the words of outsiders, and stood aside and didn't make a sound.

Su Zimo was not in a hurry or annoyed, and said lightly: "If the mother-in-law doesn't believe it, you can find out as soon as you look through the account book."

Ma Yuee stretched out her hand, and Su Zimo presented the account book. Ma Yuee looked through the most recent accounts. Most of the money was spent on the old lady and Aunt Feng. The expenses were indeed not small. When she saw Yu Yin, she was taken aback, but she didn't believe it. The Song family only had this little money left, besides fertile land and shops, she was determined to buy it, so she threw the account book aside and said: "This account is only in the hands of you, who knows if it is true or not?" .”

Su Zimo said: "Does mother-in-law need money urgently? If so, there is still some money on the account, you can take it first."

How could Ma Yue'e care about that little money, and said: "When the old lady was in charge of the family, the family was very well-off. When you were in charge of the family, you were so poor. It shows that you don't have this talent."

Zhong Ming interjected: "In the past, there were few places where money was used, but now there are many places where money is used. What does it have to do with who is in charge?"

Ma Yue'e raised her voice: "It's just that the old lady is sick, and Aunt Feng is going to have a baby. Does this use up a family?"

Zhong Ming said: "A ginseng can range from several hundred taels to as many as thousands of taels. The old lady has eaten dozens of ginsengs alone these days when she is ill. Aren't these all bought with real money? If it wasn't for my mother Help, how can the light Song family afford this little money, and the old lady's shroud, coffin and cemetery, which don't need money, originally these would not use the money in the mansion, but it's a pity that the money was dropped by someone, if you want to blame it Blame that shameless thief, who even misses the coffin of the old man, such a wicked person will surely die a good death, even if he dies, he will go to the eighteenth level of hell, pull out his tongue, and pour oil into the pan." When Zhong Ming said this, his eyes tightened Staring at Ma Yuee.

Ma Yuee's hair stood on end when she heard that Zhong Ming's curse was too harsh, she quickly pretended to be calm, and said with a sneer, "But it shouldn't be."

Zhong Ming said again: "Besides, Aunt Feng is pregnant, so she can't treat her badly. My cousin loves Aunt Feng even more. He pays money every three days, saying that he is buying this and that for Aunt Feng. Just a few days ago, my cousin I only paid 200 taels of silver, saying it was to buy a black-bone chicken for Aunt Feng to supplement her health."

Ma Yuee said displeased: "It costs 200 taels of silver to buy a chicken?"

Zhong Ming laughed and said: "Who knows, whoever raises chickens so expensive, I'm afraid they can't even compare to the chickens in the imperial dining room of the palace. Aunt Feng is really delicious."

Ma Yuee knew what was going on in her heart. Song Junjie was just using Aunt Feng's guise to hand out money. Don't blame Song Junjie, but scolded Su Zimo: "It's probably because you don't care about the seriousness. This money shouldn't be worth it." Give."

Su Zimo didn't argue, "Grandma taught me that."

Zhong Ming wanted to argue for Su Zimo, but Su Zimo shook her hand and shook his head at her, so Zhong Ming had to give up.

"Of course, I know that sometimes you can't help yourself. After all, Junjie is your husband. You can't disobey his words. I'm his mother, so he definitely doesn't dare to stand in front of me."

Su Zimo had basically guessed her reason for coming, and followed her words: "If the mother-in-law is in charge, it will be different."

Ma Yue'e put up her airs and said "hmm", and then said: "After all, you are young, and it is indeed difficult for you to take charge of the house rashly. Forget it, from today onwards, I will handle all the family affairs in my hands. You can learn from the sidelines. When you finish your studies, share your worries for me."

When Zhong Ming heard this, his lungs exploded with anger. He stole the old lady's money first, and now he is plotting against the Song family's wealth. It's really shameless.

Su Zimo didn't change his face, and handed over the account book and the manager's key to her, "Then mother-in-law will work hard."

Ma Yue'e achieved her goal, but sighed pretentiously, "Oh, I'm just working hard." Then she turned her head and said to the butler, "I'll talk to you later." The pride in her words couldn't be concealed, it was the first time in so many years elated.

As soon as Ma Yuee left, Zhong Ming was dissatisfied and said, "Why did you agree to her?"

Su Zimo said lightly: "Give it to her if she wants it, and I just have a leisurely time."

Zhong Ming said: "Aren't you afraid that she will lose this family?" With a few words, she was cheated out of nearly ten thousand taels of silver. With her brains, she still wants to be in charge of the family?

Su Zimo looked at her and said with a smile, "Isn't this what you want?"

Zhong Ming was taken aback for a moment, and then he understood, and said with a smile: "I forgot, that's fine, let my aunt and cousin plot against each other, I only feel sorry for the servants of the Song family, and I'm afraid it will be even more difficult in the future It's gone." Holding Su Zimo's hand, he walked out.

"What are you going to do?" Su Zimo asked.

Zhong Ming said: "It's not the aunt in the nunnery who eats fast every day. A new restaurant just opened on the East Street. Shao Shirong said that the honey elbow in it is good, so let's go and try it." Tight, patted the purse and said, "Miss treats you."
