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

But everyone's worries were in vain. Apart from two people who were known to be cheaters, the rest were not on the list.

Those who were not named breathed a sigh of relief.

However, a figure rushed out from the side, rushed to the old lady and cried out that it was unfair.

"Madam, I have always been diligent, but I was laid off for no reason... I don't accept it!"

When everyone looked, they found it was Mrs. Zhang.

Everyone understood immediately.

Speaking of which, there are many people living in the old lady's home but few of them are alive, so it is a good place for retirement.

Although the old lady is tight-fisted and not a generous master, the benefits we get are not as good as those of the master and the old lady in the courtyard. But although we earn not much, we have less work to do!

When it comes to being sneaky and dishonest, everyone is more or less guilty of it.

This old lady is really not the laziest one.

But... everyone's eyes glanced at the lady and several servants who were walking not far behind Mrs. Zhang, and they couldn't help but lower their heads to avoid showing inappropriate expressions.

It is almost obvious that Mrs. Zhang is Madam's person.

All the big and small things in this courtyard are like rumors...aren't they all the credit of Mrs. Zhang and the others?

Aunt Su glanced at Mrs. Zhang, then glanced at her cheap daughter-in-law not far away.

He then looked away, pretending not to see it.

He also leisurely stopped Aunt Jiao who was about to raise her hand to hit someone.

"Mrs. Zhang, I know you are not lazy, but you move too fast..."

As soon as these words were spoken, it was unknown who among the servants standing in two rows laughed first.

It made everyone laugh.

However, Ji, who was standing not far away, couldn't help but blush.

Is this stepmother-in-law crazy?

She knew clearly that Mrs. Zhang was hers, yet she pointed it out in public. Wasn't this a slap in her face?

As the lady of the house, isn't it her duty to place a few of her own people in each courtyard?

But that old lady Zhang was not someone who knew how to read people's faces. She was laughed at by everyone, so why didn't she go to the old lady to plead for mercy, but instead looked at herself?

Aunt Su was still smiling.

"Now that the old man is gone, I, an old widow, will have to live in peace and quiet. I don't need so many people in my courtyard, and I don't need to socialize with other courtyards. From now on..."

"No one in my courtyard can leave the courtyard unless they have the consent of Madam Jiao and me. If they leave the courtyard, they will be betraying their master, and I will sell them as a slave...Mrs. Zhang, think about it, do you still want to stay in my courtyard?"

After saying that, she looked at the other servants.

"You too, the past is the past, but the rules for the future must be followed. If anyone thinks they can't do it, then it's better to stand up as soon as possible. The relationship between master and servant can end amicably."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions on several people's faces changed.

"It doesn't matter. Everyone can think about it carefully when they go back. If you have other ideas within three days, you can go find Madam Jiao."

After Aunt Su said this, she nodded.

"Okay, except for the few people I just named, the rest of you can go back to work, right? The new rules will be drawn up tomorrow, and when the time comes, let Madam Jiao read them to everyone a few more times, and everyone will just work according to the rules."

The servants dispersed in response.

Only now did Ji come forward reluctantly and perfunctorily bow to Aunt Su.

"How is the old lady these days?"

Aunt Su glanced at her and answered indifferently.

"Madam is here, please sit inside!"

After saying that, Aunt Su turned around and went into the house, not caring whether Ji followed her or not.

Ji stood there in a daze for a moment, then followed angrily.

She wanted to see what Su was doing. She no longer had the old man's support and had to rely on the master and her to survive. Why did she suddenly change her temper?

She plopped down on the chair on the right, with a forced smile on her face.

"Why did the old lady want to lay off the staff? Those people have been in this hospital for many years. How can the old lady bear to let them go all of a sudden?"

Aunt Su sat steadily at the top, also with a forced smile on her face.

"Why would you be reluctant to let go of this? The cook who has worked for many years has left, and the few housewives who sweep the floor in the yard are leaving. Why would you be reluctant to let them go home and retire?"

"If Madam likes it, you can take in those who left and give them a job."

Ji almost rolled his eyes.

This old lady, the person she didn't want asked her to take? Was she a rag collector?

But then I thought, bah!

The old lady was right.

It’s fine for other people, but for Mrs. Zhang and the other two, don’t I have to assign them jobs to do?

Otherwise, who will work for her in the future?

Okay, the affairs of these servants can no longer be sorted out.

Ji had no choice but to change the subject.

"Old lady, I heard that you are not satisfied with the food in this house? Do you want someone to buy it on the street?"

Ji's eyes welled up with tears as she spoke, "Won't this make people laugh at me, the head lady, for being so harsh to my mother-in-law?"

Aunt Su smiled and replied, "It's okay, don't worry. When I ask someone to buy it, I will tell outsiders that it's not that the daughter-in-law and son are unfilial, nor that the mistress of the house treats them harshly. It's just that the old man squandered all the family wealth when he was alive, and the daughter-in-law has to cut back on expenses, and she has no choice!"

Aunt Su's words were quite sincere.

The original owner of this mansion had never been the head of household.

The original owner has no right to know how many properties he had originally or how many properties he has now.

In this case, the family in the mansion is having trouble making ends meet, so can’t the original owner pay for something to eat out of his own pocket?

How can it be possible to want both face and substance?

Ji's face turned even darker as he listened.

Isn't this mother-in-law really being sarcastic?

"How can the old lady and I put our faces aside when she says this? Can you please also consider the younger generations in this mansion? They haven't married yet. Even if the third sister's husband's family hears about this, it won't be good, right?"

There is something fishy going on here!

The original owner did not give birth to a son, only a daughter.

Marrying into the He family of the Duke's Mansion sounds like marrying up, but the son-in-law the original owner's daughter married was just a bastard of the He family, with mediocre talents, neither literary nor martial arts, and the third child, so he was not valued at all.

In comparison, the original owner's daughter is at least a legitimate daughter, and she can write and paint, so she is considered a talented girl!

"That's fine. I'll set up a small kitchen in my yard in the future. Madam, please transfer the monthly allowance for me and the servants to this place. I, an old woman, will have to take care of everything, whether it's good or bad food..."

Ji took a breath.

It turns out that this old lady is waiting for me here!

Although the old lady’s food allowance was ten taels of silver per month in the past, in reality, she was the one responsible for purchasing and managing the kitchen, and it had passed through so many hands that no one knew how.

For the old lady, it’s just about right as long as it’s generally good enough.

Now that she has reduced the old lady's share, the old lady, in turn, wants to open her own small kitchen in the name of this!
