A retired aunt traveled through time and space, and her daughter became rich!

Aunt Liu looked at her son speechlessly.

"She accepted the IOU for five hundred taels of silver, which means she spoke for us and gave us an additional shop that can generate money. Isn't that much better than just taking a few hundred taels of dead silver?"

Although the shop was in the red on paper, Lin Zhen was enlightened by what the old lady said. After taking over the shop, he insisted on taking back the indentures of the servants in the shop.

After getting the indentures, he took his men to raid the homes of his servants.

This copying revealed a trick.

The shopkeeper embezzled at least one thousand and two taels of silver.

As for the second shopkeeper and his two long-time associates, they all have tainted their hands.

The shopkeeper originally belonged to the old master. Now that the old master is gone, the Lin family is in a very difficult situation, so they have no time to care about maintaining the old man's dignity.

The shopkeeper was caught by Lin Zhen and had no choice but to beg for mercy... In the end, he gave up all the money he had embezzled for decades, and only then was he able to escape with his whole family.

But this made Lin Zhen a small fortune.

Lin Zhen also found a capable accountant to take care of the accounts.

It turns out that the company has not suffered heavy losses in the past few years, but has been making steady profits!

It's just that the previous shopkeeper was an old associate of the old master, and the old master never suspected him. In the past two years, the old master has been in poor health and lacks energy, and has no time to take care of the profit of the shop, so the shopkeeper became selfish.

But there are people from Lin Zhen’s eldest brother Lin Yu in this shop.

This person had already informed Lin Yu about the situation of the shop.

It can be said that the shopkeeper's family is the fat sheep that Lin Yu intends to slaughter for meat.

Now this fat sheep has fallen into Lin Zhen's hands.

When Lin Zhen thought about this, he felt that what Aunt Liu said made sense.

"Then I've also written an IOU. I'll have to do things for the old lady in the future! The capital is so far away, and it's exhausting to make a trip, and you're still eager to give gifts to her!"

Everyone has to move these days and has no time to spare. When he finally has time, he will be drafted into the army and go to the capital!

Aunt Liu slapped him directly.

"You fool!"

"Earlier, I even knew how to hook up with that little bitch Bihe and curry favor with the old lady in order to get some benefits."

"Why are you being stupid now that the old lady has something for you to do?"

In her opinion, her son hooked up with the little bitch mainly because he had a crush on her, and getting benefits from her was secondary.

"If I had tried to please the old lady, I might have been able to become her legitimate son and get some money from her."

"Now the old lady is so cunning that she even chased away the slightly lazy maids. Now that the family has been divided, there is no way I can have a legitimate son. The old lady will definitely want to give the money to the mistress in the capital! So why should I waste all this effort?"

Aunt Liu shook her head in deep sorrow.

"You've been running around all day these days, so I just thought you were old enough to take care of your financial situation."

"Who knew you had no plans at all! Did you know that the old lady has opened a new shop?"

"It's just a small shop, in a bad location, at the end of the street. I heard it just sells some local products from the old lady's farm. How much money can it make?"

He heard all these words from Bihe.

Because of him, Bihe's family was driven away by the old lady.

Bihe is devoted to him, he can't leave her whole family without a place to stay, right?

Didn’t he just get a shop and have some money in his hands?

He originally wanted to let Bihe's brothers and father work in the shop. Since they can't do the job as shopkeepers, it should be okay for them to be ordinary clerks, right?

But as soon as he came up with this idea, he was scolded by his aunt.

My aunt said that she would never tolerate Bihe's family being seen in public.

At most, he could let her family become tenants on the land that he had been allocated.

But Bihe's family are used to living in the city, so how could they farm?

The little beauty looked so pitiful crying with tears in her eyes, so he felt soft-hearted and had to ask his friend for help. He found a job for Bihe's father in his friend's shop, and introduced Bihe's sister to another friend as a concubine. This way, Bihe's family felt better.

Aunt Liu's eyebrows raised when she heard this.

"How much money do you make? You know, although the old lady's shop has just opened, it is now doing very well."

"I heard some rumors yesterday, but I didn't quite believe it, so I sent my maid to find out."

"Then the old woman came back and said that the shop was very lively in front of the store. There were many boys riding bamboo horses in front of the store. They paid one penny for each ride. There was always a long queue every day! Those people were attracted and wanted to go into the store to take a look. Once they took a look, they would take away a lot of things."

"Look at this?"

Aunt Liu took out a cloth tiger from somewhere and showed it to Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen turned the cloth tiger over and looked at it.

"Is this a cat's eye? No, it doesn't look like one. What kind of gem is this? It's really beautiful!"

"Is this from the old lady's shop? Where did she get this gem?"

Aunt Liu chuckled, "Maybe the old lady brought it from her parents' home?"

In the past, as long as the old grandfather was around, the old lady didn’t have to worry about retirement and monthly allowance no matter what happened.

Now that the old man is gone, isn’t the old lady coming to the fore?

"Just think about it, such a small shop, but the old lady has a way to turn it into a prosperous shop, which shows that she is quite capable."

"If we show our good will to an old lady like this, we will never suffer any loss!"

Lin Zhen rolled his eyes.

"Okay, Auntie, do whatever you want."

He was thinking in his heart that he would have to go and take a look tomorrow.

Could it be that this stepmother had really been hiding her abilities in the past?

Aunt Liu came to Aunt Su and presented her with the dress she had made herself.

"Madam, this is something I made myself. Although it is not a good thing, it is a token of my love. Please accept it, even if you want to keep it as a reward for others."

The dress was wrapped, and when it was placed on the table, the two corners had been untied, revealing one corner of the skirt.

Aunt Su saw the skirt, which was made of agarwood-colored satin with gold flowers all over.

Wow, Aunt Liu is really willing to invest.

Aunt Su started out by not wanting Aunt Liu's things.

Aunt Liu was favored when she entered the mansion, but she often made the original owner so angry that she cried behind people's back.

Many items in the original owner's small treasury, although they looked really good, contained unpleasant memories of the original owner.

It’s mostly because the old master is partial to her and what he gives to Concubine Liu is better than what he gave to the original owner.

But Aunt Liu suddenly changed her behavior and started to try to please her, which made her a little uncomfortable!
