Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

"How...how do I interpret this?"

Sure enough, Lin Ruobing picked up a few ledgers, and after flipping through them a few times, she already felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.

The thought of taking over these things in the future made her feel incredibly uneasy!

She really doesn't understand!

Seeing this, Li Lan smiled and casually picked up an account book and flipped through it.

After only a few glances, Li Lan felt a chill in her heart.

The cloth shop's ledgers are all about daily transactions, with numerous income and expenditure items. As a result, the accounts become increasingly chaotic, making it extremely difficult to reconcile them. However, Li Lan had studied some bookkeeping methods in her previous life because she wanted to take the accounting exam.

He quickly did a mental calculation and discovered that there was a problem with the ledger. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Yueran, bring the abacus."

Yue Ran couldn't help but wonder, "Does the young master know this?" She handed Li Lan an abacus, and Li Lan immediately started calculating.

Seeing this, Xu Youshan was slightly surprised. How could Li Lan, this useless son-in-law, know this?

Li Lan acted swiftly, and soon said coldly, "Manager Xu, there is a discrepancy of seventy taels of silver in this ledger. The accounts don't match!"

Xu Youshan frowned, pretended to take the ledger, looked it over, and said, "Oh... there seems to be some problem with this ledger, but the accounts of the cloth shop are so numerous, it's normal for there to be some minor flaws from time to time, son-in-law."

"Besides, it's only a few dozen taels of silver! Young master, are you going to accuse Xu of falsifying accounts based on just a few dozen taels of silver inflow and outflow?!"

Instead of feeling guilty, he said confidently, "Ruoxue, I am your uncle!"

Lin Ruobing frowned slightly, remained silent, and looked at Li Lan.

Li Lan sneered, "Fine, then I'll check all the ledgers here and see what's really going on with the cloth shop's business!"

After saying that, he really buried himself in organizing the account books.

Xu Youshan's face darkened upon seeing this.

The ledgers here are numerous and very difficult to manage, but since Li Lan is truly knowledgeable in the field, if he persists, he will eventually discover the problem.

"Alright, since you like doing accounts, then take your time! Hehe, just don't blame me for delaying the purchase of Qingyun Fruit!"

"I have important matters to attend to, so I won't keep up with your antics, son-in-law!"

After saying that, he simply turned and left.

After he left.

"Li Lan!"

Lin Ruobing was a little annoyed and said, "Now is not the time to settle accounts. There are so many ledgers. By the time you finish settling them, it will be a long time before we go to buy Qingyun Fruit."

Li Lan said calmly, "If you don't clear the accounts, where will the money come from? If you're in a hurry, you can go find the seller of the Qingyun Fruit first. I'll figure out a way to get the money."

Lin Ruobing sighed helplessly. She wasn't very good at these mundane matters to begin with. She had originally hoped that Li Lan could help out, but now that she saw Li Lan so engrossed in these accounts, she couldn't help but feel secretly annoyed. She gritted her teeth and said, "Fine!"

After saying that, she left.

"Young master, Miss is right. With so many account books, how long do you plan to take to sort them out?"

Only Yue Ran remained in the accounting office, and she was also somewhat worried.

"Yueran, your son-in-law knows magic tricks. He can sort out all these ledgers in a single day. Do you believe it?"

Yue Ran looked at Li Lan, thought about it seriously for a moment, and then surprisingly nodded: "I believe you."

Li Lan: “…”

When did this girl start trusting me so much?

"Okay, then you're in charge of reading these accounts to me."

Li Lan picked up his pen and handed the ledger to Yue Ran.

Yue Ran was puzzled, but she still read it to Li Lan very quickly, as Li Lan's pen moved like the wind.

Planning to settle accounts? That's just to mislead Xu Youshan and prevent him from causing trouble for them!

He's only now revealing his true abilities!

……

Meanwhile, at the Lin residence.

"Little sister, I'm your brother! I've worked so hard for the Lin family for so many years, and now, Li Lan, an outsider, is humiliating me like this! Checking my accounts, what kind of person does she take me for?"

Xu Youshan looked at Xu Yanrong with extreme anger.

After leaving the accounting office, he went straight to find Xu Yanrong.
