After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

"let me see."

Bai Youyou raised his head, pretending to be thinking.

After a while, when Bai Yanlang's patience was about to run out, he said meaningfully: "I heard that the dates grown in Zaozhuang on the outskirts of the city are big and sweet—"

She stopped talking.

The book once recorded that Bai Yanlang gave Bai Yaoyao a farm on her coming-of-age day. In addition to a jujube forest, the farm also had hundreds of acres of fertile land, which brought considerable income every year.

Bai Yanlang knew what she meant and pretended to be dumb, "If you like eating dates, I'll have someone bring more dates here next year."

"What do I want from those dates?"

Bai Youyou rolled her eyes, not wanting to waste time talking to him. "If you want Mr. Mo's invitation, then you can exchange it with the manor. You want something that is worth thousands of gold without paying a cent. There is no such thing in the world."

The reason I spent so much time dealing with him just now was simply to let him know how precious this thing is.

It's like buying something. The shopkeeper says it's one hundred, but you say eighty. Then the shopkeeper immediately says he'll sell it to you. You will definitely feel that you've been cheated.

If after some haggling, the boss finally gives up the deal reluctantly, you will definitely feel that you got a good deal.

People are all like this: the easier it is to get something, the less they will cherish it.

Bai Yanlang's face darkened, "We are all family, why are you bringing up Zhuangzi?"

"We are all family, so what if Zhuangzi is given to my son?"

Mrs. Lu also knew that the Zaozhuang he owned was in a great location. She snorted coldly, "You know that Mo Daru's post is something that cannot be bought even with money, and you are just talking nonsense here, expecting my son to ask for it for you. Do you really think she doesn't need favors, and you have the nerve to beg for it?"

Bai Yanlang looked embarrassed and was a little hesitant for a moment.

He has already promised Jiaojiao this farm. When Yaoyao reaches the age of 15, he will give her the farm as a coming-of-age gift, and it will also be her dowry in the future.

Now, my eldest daughter also wants...

Bai Youyou simply sat back in her chair and asked in an admiring tone, "Mom, I heard that ten years ago, Master Mo also gave a lecture, and the students who listened to Master Mo's lectures later passed the imperial examinations. Mom, is this true or false?"

"it is true."

Mrs. Lu poured her a cup of hot tea and nodded. "Among the top three that year, 17 students attended the lectures of Master Mo. It caused a sensation in the Great Zhou at the time and everyone knew about it."

There were tens of thousands of candidates, but only about 200 were selected into the top three. Nearly one-tenth of them listened to the lectures of Master Mo, which can be considered a miracle.

Bai Yanlang couldn't help but recall the grand scene and shock when the results were announced that year.

If Mu Lin received an invitation from Mr. Mo, he would definitely be on the list in the future.

Thinking of this, he no longer had any hesitation.

"Since you want that farm, I'll give it to you. It will also be your dowry in the future."

"Thank you so much, Dad."

Bai Youyou finally smiled, "Should I go with you to get the deed to the manor, or should you have someone bring it over?"

Bai Yanlang looked at her impatient look and said angrily, "You haven't even received the post yet, why are you in such a hurry? Once you receive the post, I will give you the deed."

"That won't work."

Bai Youyou wouldn't believe him.

If she got the post back and he changed his mind again, this would be the Bai family, and she would be powerless against their strong arms.

"Give me the deed first. If you can't get the post, I'll return it to you."

Does this mean you don’t believe in him?

Bai Yanlang gnashed his teeth, and left with a swipe of his sleeves, "Wait!"

After an incense stick of time, Bai Yanlang took out the title deed of Zaozhuang and placed it heavily on the table.

Bai Youyou picked up the deed and took a look at it, then tilted her head and asked Lu, "Mom, is this deed real?"

Lu looked at it carefully and hummed, "It's true."

Bai Yanlang snorted coldly, "If you can't get the post, this one won't be yours."

"Don't worry, I will definitely get the post for you."

Bai Youyou got the upper hand and couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.

When Bai Yanlang turned around, she quickly shouted, "Dad, there is one more thing."

"What's the matter?"

He felt very painful for giving up the most profitable banker in his hand. He strode to the chair and sat down, and his tone became aggressive, "Hurry up and tell me."

He hasn't eaten yet!

Yang Momo held back her laughter, went to get the previous account book and put it on the table.

Lu casually threw the account book in front of Bai Yanlang, with a loud 'pop' sound.

"Just watch for yourself. Don't blame me for not managing the house properly when there's no money in the treasury in the future."

Bai Yanlang glanced at her, picked up the account book that was about to fall to the ground, and looked through it one by one.

After a moment, he roughly flipped through the entire account book and frowned, "How come there is only so little money left on the account?"

It's just over a hundred taels, and this month's profit isn't even over yet. If I don't tighten my belt, I'm afraid I won't even get my share of the profit next month.

"Where the money was spent is recorded on it. You can take it back and read it slowly."

Lu was not in a hurry at all. Instead, she leisurely picked up the Biluochun tea brewed by Cuizhu and took a sip.

In her courtyard, besides Yang Momo and Cui Zhu, the first-class maid, there were only two second-class maids, two third-class maids, and a maid who was responsible for cleaning.

Aunt Qiao relied on her favor and had two more maids and servants in her courtyard than her own.

In daily life, food, clothing and other daily necessities are all as expensive as possible.

Now......

Humph, you are at a loss!

The gloating in Lu's eyes was undisguised, Bai Yanlang was almost furious, he slammed the account book shut, "The finances are in your hands, are you such a steward?"

"Heh!" Lu slammed the table and stood up, "Are you blaming me now?"

"When that bitch from the Qiao family came into the family, she ate, dressed and spent money like a prince or noble, and spent all her money like water. When I told you about this, what did you say?"

Mrs. Lu imitated Bai Yanlang's usual behavior and said in a pinched voice, "It's just some women's things, how much can they cost? And you told me not to make trouble out of nothing and disturb the peace of the family."

"After that, you even directly told Aunt Zhang, who was in charge of the storeroom, to give that bitch whatever she wanted. Now, you're blaming me for not managing the household well."

Lu sneered, "I'm telling you, you black-hearted bastard, don't even think about putting the blame on me. I won't take the blame for that bitch Qiao!"

Bai Yanlang looked at the account book with a blue cover and thought about his eldest son's marriage proposal at the beginning of the year, feeling a little anxious.

He looked at Lu eagerly, forced a smile on his stiff face, and said flatteringly: "Madam, this matter..."

"Don't look for me, go look for your Aunt Qiao. Whoever spent the money should make up for it."

After more than ten years, Lu no longer bought into his tricks and simply rolled her eyes at him.

If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place. It was fun when I had money to spend, but now I know the pain of not having money.

Seeing that Lu ignored him, Bai Yanlang looked for help at Bai Youyou, who was watching the situation from the side.

"Youyou, you——"
