Chapter 8
Su Jian was dazed for a moment when she woke up, she didn't expect Zhan Lei to be there, seeing him guarding her side, but her eyes looked at her porridge from time to time, she pushed the porridge to Zhan Lei.

Zhan Lei swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and shook his head with difficulty: "If I eat, my sister-in-law will have nothing to eat."

"Oh...not so much, it's just a bowl of porridge." Su Jian touched Zhan Lei's head, then looked at Goose Yellow: "I saw that you were absent-minded and didn't complain when we came together today. It seems that you put what I said yesterday In your heart, so you changed immediately?"

"Miss..." Goose Huang looked at Su Jian with a complicated expression: "Miss, why don't we leave the house as soon as possible."

"Huh?" Why did he mention going out of the mansion again.

Zhan Lei's attention instantly shifted from porridge to Su Jian, his face full of fear, and when he realized it, he had already grabbed Su Jian's sleeve: "Sister-in-law, don't go."

Su Jian patted Zhan Lei reassuringly, then looked at Ei Huang.

Looking at each other, Goose Huang told Su Jian exactly what she found.

Su Jian was silent, and after a long time, she sighed.It seems that the situation in the General's Mansion is even more serious than she imagined. Although she has no obligation to take care of those people's lives, and she is not so great, she has to help them eat meat, but she lives here!Since she wanted to live a good life, she couldn't just eat a good meal alone. If everyone around her couldn't eat a good meal, her stable life would definitely not last long.

"Go and get Liniang, um... call that blind Xiong, Xiong Da, Xiong Er, Xiong San, and accountant Song Siqi, and tell them to bring the account books in the mansion."

The yard is very quiet, only the sound of pages being turned.

Su Jian was not in a hurry to look through other accounts. She only glanced at Song Siqi's account first. The more she looked at it, the more frightened she became. Jumped uncontrollably.

"Monthly expenditures, annual expenditures, it's not enough to make ends meet." Su Jian said, looking around: "It's hard for the general's mansion to be able to shelter from the wind and rain."

Su Jian was really speechless against Zhan, once again she didn't know what words to use to describe him.This is the first time she has seen someone doing good deeds, and she can really do it regardless of herself.

Song Siqi was terrified. Now that the general is not here, Su Jian is the most powerful person in the mansion. He needs to explain, so that Su Jian cannot think that there is something wrong with his accounting: "Madam, there is no problem with the small account book. Now the general is not here. If the general is here , he will surely prove for the little one."

Su Jian glanced at Song Siqi and didn't speak, but continued flipping through other ledgers.She had heard from Xiong Xiazi before that Xiong Daxiong and the second class were in charge of Zhuangzi. In ancient times, Zhuangzi usually focused on fields. She carefully looked at the grain output of the fields, and thought... huh!Looking at the extremely small number, the corners of her lips twitched: "How many people are there in the mansion?"

Liniang took a step forward: "There are 20 women and maidservants serving in the mansion, 43 guards, and 87 people in the three villas. But among these people, not counting Mrs. The three people in the little prince's yard."

"That means there are a total of 150 five people in the mansion."

"Yes."

"Five people of 150 live on an annual output of only a few hundred deniers of food. I understand why you can't eat meat for a whole year." Do it, let you continue, how long can the black-faced buns last?"

Xiong Xiazi opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but finally lowered his head.

Liniang hesitated to speak, but in the end she didn't say anything.

The courtyard fell into silence for a while.

Su Jian silently looked at the men and women in the yard, all of them bowed their heads and said nothing. Although she knew that they were ashamed to speak, she looked at them with an inexplicable feeling that she was bullying them, so she couldn't keep silent.

"Yesterday, I asked you to cook all the meat I bought. I heard the thanks of the brothers at night, but the meat is divided into their hands. I guess there is not much oily smell, right?" Although it was a question , but Su Jian said for sure.

"We are already very grateful for Madam's sharing of food with us." Blind Xiong raised his head and said seriously, "We dare not think too little."

"..." It's really missing, hey!
"lady……"

"Stop, let's go straight to the point. Now there are more than 100 people in the mansion, and it is impossible for me to call them all to give orders, just a few of you as representatives. I just ask you, do you want to have meat every day? " While talking, Su Jian couldn't help but glance at them: "Of course, maybe I can buy some new clothes for myself."

Liniang raised her head suddenly, but she didn't notice Xiong Xiazi and others looked at Su Jian with burning eyes after hearing the words: "Madam, the dowry is yours."

"The lady wants to take out the dowry to help the brothers?"

The voices that sounded almost at the same time made Su Jian choke. They all mentioned her dowry. It seemed that they were thinking about her dowry deep in their hearts.At this moment, Su Jian was glad that her decision was right, she really couldn't live a good life alone, otherwise, danger would come sooner or later.

Seeing Su Jian's silence, Liniang thought that Su Jian was really going to take out the dowry, and said anxiously, "Madam, your dowry cannot be moved. If the general finds out, he won't let us go."

"Yes, although we want to eat meat, we must not do anything to offend the general." Xiong Xiazi was firm.

Su Jian paused slightly, her eyes flickered, and they didn't move her dowry again?
"Ma'am, the general has shown great kindness to us. It would be a shame if those of us used Madam's dowry." Xiazi Xiong said again.

Su Jian lowered her eyes, keeping her dowry still is because of Zhan Zhan, but thinking about her dowry is also because of Zhan Zhan. After all, if the house is well-organized, why would she feel that the house is "dangerous" and life is difficult .

"Who told you I'm going to touch my dowry?"
