A retired aunt traveled through time and space, and her daughter became rich!
Chapter 8 Go back and serve me well
The Lu family immediately changed the subject.
"Madam is right. There are so many people in the mansion who need food and drink, especially since we just handled the old master's important matter. It's really not easy for Madam to be the housekeeper!"
"But, ma'am, I heard that the old lady is not very satisfied with the portion from the big kitchen. She has ordered today that she will go to the street to buy food tomorrow!"
An old lady who is so cowardly and stingy actually lets people buy food outside?
If this gets out, wouldn't it bring shame to the family?
Especially since the housekeeper is the lady, this is only further discrediting her!
Ji was stunned when he heard this.
"Madam, are you going to eat out tomorrow?"
The old lady in the mansion didn't eat well at home, so she had to buy food from outside with her own money.
If this gets out, how will she, the mistress of the house, keep her dignity?
"Yes, I heard it from Mrs. Zhang in the courtyard."
The expression on Ji's face changed.
"Great! I thought she didn't listen to those people's instigation and was saving trouble, but I didn't expect that this was not a hassle at all, it was done on purpose for me to see!"
The Lu family thought about it and gave some advice.
"Madam, this is actually easy to handle. Just quietly increase the old lady's allowance."
Ji's face flushed and she stood up.
"Why? She's a stepmother, and she didn't even give birth to a son for the old man, but she gave birth to a money-loser!"
"When the old master was alive, he was afraid that she would interfere in our master's affairs, so he gave her such a high share to shut her up. But now that the old master is gone, why should I be so thrifty, saving here and there, and being the villain of the mansion, while she is so good, not caring about anything and only knowing how to enjoy herself."
Ji stood up, pulled open the curtain, walked out of the room, out of the yard, and went straight to the old lady's yard.
When the Lu family saw that something was wrong, they quickly called two maids and servants to follow.
When Ji walked to the old lady's yard, she found the gate closed.
She walked all the way here holding her breath, and now she is much calmer.
So he asked someone to knock on the door.
However, after waiting for a long time, a maid finally arrived.
"Madam, the old lady is now checking the names of the servants on the roster! She said that she doesn't need so many people and wants to let some of them go!"
Ji was stunned.
Originally, there were a total of nineteen servants serving the old lady in her courtyard.
The old lady is ill and is about to die.
The servants' minds began to wander.
Several capable people have already found ways to transfer elsewhere.
Some people from the Lu family came to Ji Shi for help, so Ji Shi had heard about some things.
Originally, she thought the old lady was about to die.
I thought that I would have to spend money on the funeral. Even though it might not be as grand as my father-in-law's funeral, it would still have to be decent, right? The family would have to spend money again.
But when I think about it, it would be easier just to mourn together.
Anyway, her children are still young, and it is far from the time to discuss marriage. But those half brothers and half sisters in the mansion...
Thinking of this, Ji couldn't help but sneer.
They are all parasites who only know how to eat and drink but spend money without producing anything!
She hoped that it would be difficult for them to get married so that they would stop bothering her.
Who could have thought that this old lady would come back to life in one breath!
Just let it float over, it seems a little different!
How can you just lay off people?
When Ji thought of the two spies she had planted in the old lady's courtyard, she felt a little nervous.
"Let's go and have a look!"
There were thirteen people in total, standing in two rows in the courtyard.
Aunt Su walked past the two rows of people with her hands behind her back.
I feel happy in my heart.
She, Su Cuili, had never been a team leader since she was a child. She worked as a toll collector for two years and then as a cashier in the warehouse. She had never managed anyone in her life.
He is so old, but he still has to take care of so many people.
Aunt Jiao was standing at the head of the first row.
Madam Jiao was one of the two maids that the original body brought from her natal family as a dowry.
It’s not that there were no old maids who came with the dowry at that time, but there were so many of them, and the original maids had all become old ladies, so the two old maids naturally died of old age.
The servants at the back included those bought by the original owner and those born in the same house as his concubines.
Aunt Su withdrew her hand and looked at the list in her hand.
She had asked Madam Jiao to write a list of people to be laid off before.
Aunt Jiao writes quite quickly.
Aunt Su read the list at a glance, then looked at the servants and smiled.
When everyone saw the old lady's look, their heartbeats suddenly accelerated.
Although many of them wanted to find another place to live when the old lady was dying, they haven't left yet. Isn't it because they can't leave?
If I am fired by the old lady and lose the monthly salary from working, how will I live in the future?
Therefore, many people stammered and lowered their heads, not daring to look at the old lady.
"Bihe? Where's Bihe?"
The original owner had a capable old maid like Madam Jiao by her side, and two maids who served her personally.
The two older girls are named Bihe and Sumei.
Now Su Mei is still standing beside Aunt Jiao. She even combed her hair this morning, but Bi He is nowhere to be seen.
Madam Jiao said hurriedly, "Madam, Bihe asked for leave the other day, saying that her mother broke her leg and she went back to take care of her for a few days."
Bihe's biological mother, Madam Yang, like Madam Jiao, was a maid who came with the original owner as a dowry.
When Nanny Yang reached a certain age, she married a minor steward in the mansion. Originally, she could have worked in the old lady's courtyard after marriage, but Nanny Yang was a good fertile person and gave birth to five children in one go.
With five children, getting pregnant, giving birth and taking care of them, how can I find time to do anything?
Therefore, Madam Yang stayed at home peacefully.
Nanny Yang’s third daughter is Bihe.
When Bihe was twelve years old, Nanny Yang came to the mansion and asked the old lady to let Bihe work in the old lady's courtyard. The old lady agreed because of the old relationship between master and servant.
Bihe was quite hardworking. She was efficient and sweet-spoken. Within two years, the old lady promoted her to be a senior maid, with a first-class monthly salary.
When Aunt Su recalled the original owner's memory, she thought of several scenes.
His brows furrowed slightly.
"Well, she is a filial child. In that case, put Bihe on the layoff list."
"Her mother's family has many children. Bihe's brother got married and had a little nephew. There are a lot of chores to do at home. Let Bihe stay at home and work peacefully!"
The servants' faces couldn't help but change.
No, what happened to the old lady?
Bihe was once valued by the old lady!
How can you just cut him off?
And looking at the old lady’s attitude, she even wants to lay off Bihe, so wouldn’t they all be in danger?
