The Lu family's wife laughed and said, "Mom, I'm afraid they are in the countryside and eat all kinds of delicious food!"

Now the whole mansion is a vegetarian, and my mother-in-law eats the food from my uncle's mansion, which does not contain a single drop of meat.

I could only eat some meat secretly when I returned home occasionally.

This remark awakened the Lu family.

She suddenly understood.

"No wonder! The old lady and her family stayed in the countryside for seven days!"

If it were her, she could also stay for seven days!

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but envy the people around the old lady.

Not only can he get financial support from the old lady, but he can also go to the farm with her to eat and drink delicious food.

She is nothing like that. In name, she is the favorite of the mistress of the house, but in reality, she has to eat vegetarian food with the mistress. She is so craving for meat that she can only go back home and spend her own money to secretly eat a few bites of meat.

However, within two days, she heard another piece of news.

Didn’t the old lady have a small shop as a dowry?

The small shop is in a remote location and has only two rooms. It wouldn't make much money if it was rented out in a year, but it's better than having nothing.

Previously, the second master Lin Zhen wanted to take this shop away from his stepmother, and he used countless sweet words to persuade her.

The shop was indeed no longer rented out, but in the end it did not fall into Lin Zhen's hands.

Now the old lady asked a maid, Gao Laowu, to open this small shop.

He also asked two boys from the Fang family, Liu Xiaoer and Wang Xiaosi, to go along and serve as servants!

Because the old lady did not hide her opening of a shop from others, the news soon reached the ears of Uncle Lin Yu and Mrs. Ji.

Mrs. Ji laughed and said, "Our stepmother is so old, but she is so busy!"

"But this also reminds me that the current expenses in the mansion are high and the harvest is small. Even if I work myself to death, it is still difficult for a good cook to cook without rice. I should be like the old lady and think of ways to increase income."

Although Lin Yu inherited the title of the Earl's Mansion, he was in mourning. Not only could he not eat meat, but he was also not allowed to go out for social gatherings and banquets, or to seek an official position. He was stuck in the mansion all day long, and it was indeed very boring.

"We have quite a few shops in our house, and some are rented out. Even your dowry includes two or three shops. Since Madam has an idea, just let it go and do it."

Doesn't he know that the mansion is short of money and that he is restricted in what he does?

But it would be fine for the women in the family to think of ways to do business, but we can't let him, a nobleman, do these business things, right?

Mrs. Ji's eyes flickered.

"I would like to let go and do it, but isn't it time for our family to split up?"

Although her dowry was better than the old lady's, she had spent a lot over the years.

Her three shops were all managed by her maids. Unlike the old lady's shop which was rented out and could be opened immediately after being taken back.

There are some shops in the company that are managed by the old man's people.

The old man is gone, and a new emperor appoints new ministers. It is time to use the name of making money to move these people...

However, she has become the villain, but she doesn't want to go to great lengths to help others!

Therefore, we must separate first!

The second master, Lin Zhen, has already reached adulthood.

There was also a thirteen-year-old illegitimate son and a fourteen-year-old illegitimate daughter.

If the family did not split up, she would not only have to support these two half brothers and half sisters, but also have to arrange their marriages and prepare betrothal gifts. She would not work for nothing!

It would be fine if the old uncle had left them a generous fortune.

At least she could save face and get these people married.

But what the old man left behind was a mess!

Before, Lin Zhen hooked up with Bi He and fooled Old Madam Su into thinking of registering the child under her name.

If she proposed to divide the family, Old Lady Su would certainly speak for Lin Zhen, and Lin Zhen could also get a larger share of the family property in the name of supporting his mother, and he could also ask for another sum of money from their eldest wife every year in the name of Old Lady Su.

But now the situation has changed drastically.

Old Lady Su disliked Lin Zhen, drove Bihe away, and then showed favoritism to her own maid.

It was obvious that he neither liked Lin Zhen nor the other illegitimate sons and daughters.

So what else does she have to worry about?
