Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

"Brother, please look at this account book. There were two expenses for purchasing crabs in the first half of the year. The total amount was about 200 taels of silver, with a maximum fluctuation of 30 taels. But last month, there was only one expense for crabs. If the business in the store has not changed, then something must be wrong."

After she finished speaking, Gu Qingrong's eyes suddenly became serious and he hurriedly flipped through the account book.

After checking the number of crabs purchased each month, he murmured, "There really is a problem..."

Shen Nankui smiled and said, "So, if the crabs hadn't sold poorly, the purchase volume wouldn't have decreased. Last month, the crab expenditure was only 98 taels of silver, which is more than half less than other months. If you think about it, the 100 taels of silver that are missing from the account and the receipt can just fill the gap, right?"

Gu Qingrong's eyes lit up, he held the account book and read it over and over again, nodding repeatedly.

"I see!"

Why didn't he think of that?

In the past two days, he has checked all the accounts for more than half a year, but found no problems. He didn't expect that he had gone in the wrong direction.

Because, it wasn't that he miscalculated, but that he simply missed something!

Gu Qingrong looked at Shen Nankui with admiration, "My second brother's wife has a keen eye. I am such a fool and I am ashamed of myself!"

When he thought of his doubts about Shen Nankui just now, he felt embarrassed.

He bowed and said, "Second brother's wife, today I am really grateful to you for being able to see the problem in the account. Now that the account is settled, I can go back and report to my employer. Our family doesn't have to raise money to fill the hole for me. This is really the best."

He looked very excited, and Gu's mother and Liang also breathed a sigh of relief.

Liang almost cried with joy, "That's great! The matter is finally resolved, second brother's wife, thank you so much for helping the child's father avoid such a disaster."

She looked grateful and kept saying thank you while holding Shen Nankui's hand.

Even the look that Gu's mother gave Shen Nankui was filled with a hint of admiration, although she herself did not notice it.

Her own son had gotten into such a mess that he had to either pay money or lose a lawsuit. He was in such a situation, but she solved it with just a few words.

How much ability does this adopted daughter have?

Mother Gu rarely smiled at her, "Chuan'er's wife, this time, you are the great contributor to our family. What do you want to eat tonight? I'll ask the eldest daughter-in-law to buy some food and cook for you."

Come to think of it, this was the first time she took the initiative to care about her second daughter-in-law.

Shen Nankui smiled and said, "Then I want to eat steamed eggplant with dried whitebait, is that ok?"

She has a poor appetite in the summer and can't eat greasy food, but she happened to be craving for it recently.

"of course can!"

Liang readily agreed, "Don't even mention dried fish. Even if you want to eat free-range chicken from the mountains or river clams from the water, I can make them for you!"

Several people were amused by her statement.

Mother Gu said: "Chuan'er's wife is helping your man, so you should thank her."

"My wife knows."

The atmosphere in the main room was harmonious and peaceful, more harmonious than ever before.

Song Dong'er, who was ignored in the corner, was biting her teeth to pieces. She looked at Shen Nankui, who was surrounded by so many people, and her inferiority and jealousy reached the peak.

Although Liang's betrayal made her sad.

But her confidence comes from her aunt.

Gu's mother has always shared the same hatred with her and doesn't like Shen Nankui, but now she is so kind to this adopted daughter. If she is bribed in the future, who can she rely on in this family?

Shen Nankui looked at Gu Qingrong again and said with a smile: "Brother, although the accounts have been settled, don't be too happy too soon."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Gu Qingrong immediately became serious and listened to her carefully.

After seeing Shen Nankui's power with his own eyes, he would never take her words lightly again.

Shen Nankui continued, "As the accountant, if you make such a mistake, the owner of Zuiyuexuan may be angry with you. You can't just say it with your mouth. It's better to find the people in charge of purchasing and supplying crabs, write down their statements, and put their fingerprints on them before reporting. Only in this way can the evidence be considered strong."

Gu Qingrong's heart trembled, "Sure enough, my sister-in-law is very thoughtful."

Then, he sighed again, "Alas, although the account is settled, but after something like this happened, I don't know if my boss will still be willing to employ me in the future..."

"It's actually not difficult to ask him to keep you." Shen Nankui smiled slightly.

"Does my sister-in-law have a solution?"

Gu Qingrong looked up instantly and stared at her with burning eyes.

Shen Nankui pointed at the account book and said slowly, "Look at these items, tea sets, window curtains, calligraphy and paintings, these are not consumables, so they shouldn't change so quickly. I don't know the previous accounts, but in the past six months, these things have been replaced twice, and a lot of money has been spent. You can tell the owner of Zuiyuexuan and ask him to check. If he can find out who is behind this, you will have made a contribution, and he will not drive you away."

Gu Qingrong was shocked again.

He had never given much thought to these seemingly ordinary accounts, but he did not expect that Shen Nankui could spot the problem at a glance?

He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Second brother's wife, how do you know all this?"

How could his vision be even sharper than that of a man who had worked as an accountant for eight years?

Shen Nankui smiled and said, "I have watched my mother run the business since I was a child, and I learned it slowly."

Actually it is not.

Although the Shen family also had some land and shops, they were not large in scale and could be managed by He alone. Shen Nankui had never gotten involved.

She truly understood all this after she went to the Marquis' Mansion in her previous life.

The Marquis's Mansion gave her a sweet reward after a blow. Knowing that the prince was like that, in order to stabilize her, the wife of Marquis Jianning gave her some of the housekeeper power. It was at that time that she began to understand the ins and outs of this.

The Marquis's Mansion was large and powerful, and the people in charge were all shrewd. When she first started to manage the business, the people below did not obey her and made things difficult for her in both open and covert ways.

But she knew that she could not count on her husband in this life, and the only thing she could rely on was the money in her own hands, so she could not miss this opportunity, and she took the trouble to ask the wife of Marquis Jianning for advice.

Lady Jianning Marquis admired her courage and perseverance in facing challenges, and she taught her how to manage the household step by step, and took her to inspect stores and check accounts. It can be said that all her business skills were taught by her mother-in-law in her previous life.

Now it was just a matter of checking the accounts, which was no effort at all for her.

Gu Qingrong was full of admiration and said with emotion: "Second brother's wife is indeed a girl from an official family. She has been able to write and calculate since she was a child, so she has such skills!"

Shen Nankui was very modest. "Big brother, you are too kind. There are many people in the world who are better than me. What I know is nothing."

After hearing the conversation between the two, they were surprised again.

When Liang saw that Shen Nankui had helped her husband keep his job, her gratitude was about to overflow, so she simply ran out.

"Wait for me, second brother and sister-in-law. I'm going to go buy some groceries and show you my cooking skills tonight!"

Mother Gu laughed twice, "Your sister-in-law is impatient. You go out now and don't mind the sun!"

Song Dong'er watched all this, her eyes flickering.
