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

Meanwhile, at the Bo's Mansion, some people were also talking about the old lady.

Miss Lin Er was tired from doing needlework. She saw her aunt still sewing the soles of shoes seriously. Without looking at her, she stretched and moved her shoulders.

"If you're tired, go take a walk in the yard. You can continue when you come back."

Miss Lin Er looked bitter.

"Aunt, we owe the old lady fifty taels of silver. At worst, we can just pay her back."

"The old lady has moved out of the house, why are we still rushing to do needlework for her?"

The handkerchief she made and the shoes made by her aunt must all be made and sent to the old lady as a gift to show filial piety!

And it's not just these two pieces. Two sets had already been made a few days ago. My aunt said that she had to collect nine sets and send them over to make it look sincere and beautiful!

Aunt Jiang looked at the second girl helplessly.

He looked around again and saw that there was no one around, so he said, "My good girl!"

"Think about it. Jiang is the housekeeper in the mansion now. We women have to look after your sister-in-law. You are in mourning now and cannot go out to socialize for three years. You are getting older every year. In two years, you should look for a husband. But will your sister-in-law be kind enough to find a good husband for you? Even if she wants to, your dowry is really not enough!"

The second girl's eyes turned red.

"The dowry is so little, what can I do?"

When the family was divided, she, as a concubine, received 100 taels of silver and 80 acres of land.

If these things were kept in the home of a small landlord in the countryside, they would indeed be enough.

But what does it matter in the Bo family?

Even though my aunt has been very frugal over the years and has saved up two or three hundred taels of silver, she said that she would give her a dowry of two hundred taels in the future. But three hundred taels of silver doesn't sound like enough, does it?

Besides, my aunt is old. If I give all the money to her as a dowry, what will she eat and drink and how will she support herself in her old age?

Aunt Jiang sighed.

"Isn't this what Auntie is thinking of for you?"

"We are mother and daughter and we are in an awkward position. Unlike the old lady, she is of a higher generation and has her own house and money. She can live a good life without worrying about her children's marriage. She can move out if she wants and come back anytime she wants."

The second girl blinked, "But I'm already fourteen years old. Isn't it a little late to try to please the old lady now?"

Before the age of fourteen, he never tried to curry favor with the old lady when the master was alive. Now that the master is gone, he tries to curry favor with the old lady instead. Isn't this just a last-minute effort to save himself?

"Besides, the old lady can't help me, right?"

The old lady's parents' home is not in this city. The eldest sister married in the capital and has never come back since her marriage. She only sent holiday gifts and wrote letters to her parents' home. I heard that she gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. But the eldest sister married a bastard, and the family should not have lived very well in the mansion. Even their own mother has never seen her grandchildren, let alone a half-sister?

Although the old lady was the wife of the Bo family, she was the second wife and did not take care of the family. Ji was only ten years younger than the old lady and had to take on the social responsibilities at an early age. The old lady was like a transparent person. When she went out, the ladies of the other families might not recognize her. Could she still expect the old lady to help her find a good marriage? Expect the old lady to give her more dowry?

Aunt Jiang shook her head and said, "You are just too direct in your thinking."

"The old lady is no longer the same as she used to be."

Her eyes turned to a cloth tiger with a tiger-eye gem placed on the bedside.

This cloth tiger has now become a must-buy mascot for city families to pamper their children.

I heard that only ten of these with gems can be made in seven days, and they are often in short supply.

"Have you forgotten what Mrs. Zhang said when she went to Qingyun Street to inquire about the matter last time?"

"The boutique shop opened by the old lady is now doing more and more prosperous business."

"Everyone in those streets praised the old lady for her kindness and compassion."

"It's only been a few days since our old master passed away?"

In less than two months, the old lady seemed to have suddenly become energetic and lived a carefree and comfortable life, without any restraint or boredom. Only others fawned on her, and she did not have to ask others for anything.

It can be seen that the reason why he hid his abilities before was because he suppressed the old lady when the old man was alive.

Now that the old man is gone, hasn't the tight curse been lifted?

"If this happens in another year or two, our old lady will be in a terrible state!"

The second girl didn't believe it, "What Auntie said is too unlikely. No matter how powerful the old lady is, she is still an old lady, isn't she?"

This man can also pursue a career in literature or martial arts, or in business.

Isn't a woman's future to marry into a good family? Otherwise, she can help her husband and raise children, hoping that they will become successful.

Now the old lady has lost her husband, her son, and only one daughter, who is married to a mediocre wife.

Now he is just running a shop, and his business is booming only thanks to the help of his capable subordinates... But no matter how prosperous it is, it is just a small shop on Qingyun Street. What can a small business do?

Aunt Jiang smiled and shook her head. "You are young and inexperienced. If this old lady becomes powerful, she will be incredible! Didn't I tell you that there was a widow in our village before. When her husband died, the family only had a shabby house and a thin piece of land, and two immature boys. This widow insisted on going to the town to sell tofu, and sent her youngest son to learn cooking... In the end, both sons grew up and got married, and her family opened a restaurant in the city, relying on the foundation of selling tofu and the cooking skills she learned!"

"I was thinking that if our old lady is really as capable as that widow, she would inevitably socialize with other families after the mourning period is over. You could go there every two months to send her some needlework as a token of your filial piety, so that outsiders can see your filial piety. After all, we are filial women!"

So most mothers-in-law from good families like this, right?

The second girl thought about it, then picked up the handkerchief she had put down and started embroidering again.

"Auntie is right. I will listen to you."

Now, the only one who truly cares about her is her aunt.

And Ji was also chatting with the Lu family.

Ji also held a cloth tiger with jewel eyes in her hand.

"Hehe, these gems, her family is just a poor family, how could they be willing to give her a dowry?"

"It's just that our old man felt guilty about her, so he bought it for her from somewhere."

"For a small business, I'm selling things at a loss!"

Ji was very angry.

Since she knew that the old lady was doing business, she had also acquired several shops.

They all have good locations, large storefronts, and have been doing well in the past.

After sending away the old master's cronies, he also took a lot of embezzled money from them, and filled the deficit in the mansion in one go. Not only that, he even had nearly one thousand taels left!

Then, all the important positions were replaced by her trusted men.

Those who need to be hit have been hit, and those who need to be painted have been painted.

After more than a month, shouldn't the money be rolling in?

Why is it still the same as before, half-dead?

On the contrary, the small shop at the end of the remote street is booming!

Is this justified?
