I was a housekeeper in ancient times

She secretly put away her belongings in advance, and even felt that it was not safe to keep the things in her room, so she gave them to Xiaohan for temporary safekeeping.

Zhu'er didn't understand why she did this, "Why is mom so scared? They are not robbers. If mom doesn't give it to them, can they still rob it by force?"

She said, "What do you think? It's my blessing to have such a group of living ancestors."

It’s all the original owner’s fault for spoiling Shan Ge’er and the others, as if it was their duty to raise them.

As the saying goes, a pinch of kindness turns into a grudge. Giving them small favors is fine, but if you give them too much and for too long, their appetites will become bigger and bigger, and they will become greedy.

Human greed is insatiable. They all want to get more from the original owner, and if he doesn't give them what they want, they will become enemies.

She wanted to turn against these people. She didn't want to use her hard-earned money to support these ungrateful people, but she couldn't find a suitable reason. It would be best if it could be resolved once and for all and they would never come to her for money again.

She could refuse to pay, but Shan Ge'er and the others were the most unreasonable, and she didn't know what means they would use to force her to pay. It would be fine if they were embarrassed, but she still wanted to continue to stay in the Bo's Mansion.

At the critical moment, she thought quickly and decided to put on a good show for them.

So, when Zhu'er led Shang'er and others in, she saw several people surrounding her, seemingly talking about something, and the atmosphere was quite depressing and depressed.

Aunt Lin was nosy. As soon as she arrived, she asked enthusiastically, "Qiaomei, what are you doing..."

Granny Chen looked serious, "You are all Lin Mama's family, you came just in time, how do you think we should deal with this matter?"

Lin Weiqiao turned around and pulled Shan Ge'er's arm, pretending to cry: "Shan Ge'er, you have to help me this time. I really have no other choice, I..."

Shan Ge'er asked, "Mom, what happened?"

Lin Weiqiao started to talk nonsense, saying that due to her negligence in her duties, she forgot to lock the private storehouse when she went to get something, which resulted in the loss of several valuable items in the private storehouse. After searching for more than ten days, she still couldn't find out what happened. Yu Muyan got angry about this and said that if the things couldn't be found, she would ask her to replace them.

After hearing this, Aunt Lin said anxiously, "Madam treats you so well, why would she bother you over such a small matter? Just ask Madam for mercy and it will be over. I thought it was a small matter."

Mrs. Chen said, "That's not the way to say it. The things in Madam's private storehouse are more valuable than our lives, not to mention the things that were lost. They were given to Madam by the Lord of Huiyang County. If the Lord of Huiyang County asks about it, Madam will not be able to explain it, and this matter will be serious."

"Then go find it and check it out. It must have been done by someone in the mansion."

"It's easy for you to say that. There are so many things in this mansion, so how can we investigate? What's more, the lost items are small, and it would be hard to find them if they were just tucked into any corner. If they hid the items in the second house, they would definitely not let us investigate. In this matter, Mother Lin has to consider herself unlucky and take the responsibility."

After understanding what was going on, Shan Ge'er and his wife were dumbfounded and looked at each other. They came here today to force Lin Weiqiao to give them money, but they didn't expect to encounter this. They were really unlucky.

Zhenyu's eyes rolled around, half believing and half doubting, "Mother, you have been with Madam for so many years, how could you make such a mistake? Could it be that..."

Lin Weiqiao squeezed out a few tears and wiped her eyes with her sleeves, "I didn't expect that I would make such a big mistake. I don't know what happened recently. I forget things as soon as I turn around. I remember it one moment, but I don't remember what I was going to do the next moment."

Zhu Er cooperated appropriately and said, "Not only that, Madam Lin clearly had something in her hand, but she still wanted to look for it. Once when she saw Madam He, she even asked me who Madam He was. I think Madam Lin is getting old, and her memory is getting worse day by day."

Lin Weiqiao leaned against Shan Ge'er's back and cried loudly, but with few tears. Whether people believed her or not depended on how convincing she was.

In order not to give them money, she was completely desperate. She sat on the ground, slapping her thighs and crying, "I am old and confused. How could I forget to lock the door and lose things? They are all so valuable. Madam, seeing my age, naturally couldn't bear to punish me. I can't make things difficult for Madam. No matter what, this matter is my fault..."

Seeing that she had almost finished her performance, Madam Li said, "Madam will not punish Madam Lin. She will just ask Madam Lin to make up for the lost items and pretend that nothing happened. Fortunately, those items are expensive, but they are also available elsewhere. This matter can still be made up. Just ask Madam Lin to come back according to the instructions."

Upon hearing this, Shan Ge and his friends immediately panicked. In their opinion, Lin Weiqiao's money not only belonged to Lin Weiqiao, but also to them.

The lost items are so valuable, and the money spent on replacing them can be imagined.

Aunt Lin originally wanted to help Lin Weiqiao up, but when she heard that she had to pay to make up for it, she immediately didn't want to help. She stood up silently and said unwillingly: "How much will it cost? Qiaomei is just a housemother, how can she afford so much compensation? Can't you ask the lady to be more lenient? Isn't this going to cost our family's lives?"

Mrs. Chen said, "Madam said that we should compensate her with one or two first so that we can get by. After a while, this matter will be over. Madam has done her utmost. If Madam Lin can't even compensate her with one or two, there is no need for her to stay with her anymore..."

Seeing that the time was right, Lin Weiqiao quickly got up and said to Shan Ge'er and his wife, "Shan Ge'er, please help me. I've calculated that apart from what I save every day, I'm still short of a few dozen taels. I gave you so much before, you should be able to take it out, right? And Yu Jie'er, you have a lot of jewelry I gave you, right? You can pawn it and make up for it."

Shan Ge'er and his wife avoided her as if she were the plague god. They glanced at her guiltily but didn't dare to respond.

Aunt Lin was even more panicked, fearing that Lin Weiqiao would take her things back, and she complained repeatedly, "Oh, dozens of taels, it's a large sum, Shan Ge'er and his wife are young, how much savings can they have? Even if they have the intention to help, it's difficult for them to help. Not to mention me, the old and the young all rely on me, where can I get the money?"

Lin Weiqiao didn't care and kept asking Shan Ge'er and his wife to raise money.

After what happened, Shan Ge'er and the others, who had originally come to get the money, now came to ask him for money instead. He was so scared that he didn't even have time to hide.

Watching the three of them fleeing in panic, Lin Weiqiao put her hands on her waist and panted, "Finally, we've driven away these debt collectors. Thank you for your help, I'll treat you two to a good meal later."
