Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“You really think highly of that girl. The monthly salary you give her is even higher than Uncle Fu’s.”
Lin Xiaoyue smiled and nodded.
“Shanshan’s way of thinking is different from many women nowadays.”
Zhou s.h.i.+ was stunned.
Then, she nodded.
She was indeed different from many women nowadays.
If it were any other servant girl, she would have taken the opportunity to become a concubine to help her family.
Some would even seduce their master.
This kind of thing was not rare in wealthy families.
However, Zhao Shanshan actually rejected the master’s advances.
After coming to the Liu family, she promised not to marry.
Such a strong woman was indeed rare.
Since the woman did not put her mind on marriage, she could put her mind on something else.
Zhao Shanshan was also literate like her and Yue’er. Yue’er could use her help.
No wonder Yue’er had such thoughts.
“The eatery in town, the spicy cabbage business, the manor, and the chili business…! can’t handle it all by myself.”
Zhou s.h.i.+ nodded.
“It is indeed a little too much.”
As the two of them were talking, there was a knock on the door.
” Miss…” It was Zhao Shanshan.
Lin Xiaoyue and Zhou s.h.i.+ looked at each other and stopped talking.
“Come in.”
Soon, the door was pushed open.
Zhao Shanshan entered and bowed to Lin Xiaoyue and Zhou s.h.i.+.
“Young miss, I have the items needed. Father asked if he could see you. He said that there are some things that he needs to ask you.”
Lin Xiaoyue glanced at Zhao Shanshan and nodded in satisfaction when she saw that Zhao Shanshan was submissive.
“Tell Uncle Fu to wait for me in the front yard.”
“Yes.” Zhao Shanshan bowed before leaving.
She closed the door after leaving.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled and put away the wooden box before leaving with Zhou s.h.i.+.
Zhou s.h.i.+ knew that Lin Xiaoyue had something to do, so she didn’t go with her. Instead, she went to look for Liu s.h.i.+.
Lin Xiaoyue went to the front yard alone.
As expected, Zhao Fu and Zhao Shanshan were already waiting.
“Miss.” Seeing Lin Xiaoyue’s arrival, the two of them hurriedly bowed.
“There’s no need to be so polite.” Lin Xiaoyue said.
“Shanshan said that you have something to ask me, Uncle Fu.”
Uncle Fu quickly stepped forward and handed a list to Lin Xiaoyue.
“Miss, the first row is the list of items that we urgently need. The ones after are secondary and require your approval.”
Uncle Fu carefully glanced at Lin Xiaoyue. “Also, the servants’ monthly allowance can start from next month. However, I would like to request for an advance payment.”
Their family of seven did not have a single wen on them. It’s difficult to do things without money.
He had just arrived and did not know the young lady’s personality. He did not dare to make a decision on his own.
They could not risk making her unhappy.
Lin Xiaoyue glanced at the list that Uncle Fu had written.
She realized that he had only listed the most basic necessities in the first paragraph.
Even oil lamps, bedding, shoes and socks were listed down below.
Lin Xiaoyue glanced at Uncle Fu and Zhao Shanshan. Seeing Uncle Fu bowing with a nervous expression, she couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Is this the list?”
Uncle Fu’s body trembled, his heart filled with fear.
“Please correct it,” he quickly said.
Could it be that he was asking too much?
However, they were really necessary.
Lin Xiaoyue glanced at the nervous duo and sighed. Finally, she said, “write this down.”
As she spoke, she walked towards the stone table where Uncle Fu had placed his brush and ink.
Well, they were just sold by the Zheng family and were still afraid. It was not strange for them to be so careful.
“Yes, Miss!” Uncle Fuquickly followed.
Then, he went to the stone table and picked up the brush.
Lin Xiaoyue looked at the brush and ink used by Uncle Fu and realized that it was used by Lin Xiaozhi.
“A set of brush, ink, paper, and inkstone for the accountant’s office. Twenty account books. One abacus.”
Uncle Fu was only stunned for a moment before he quickly recorded it.
“In the future, all the accounts at home will be recorded in the account book and sent to me every month.” Lin Xiaoyue said..
