Chapter 281 Accounting

When Su Laoer saw his eldest brother's appearance, he couldn't stand still. He hurriedly stepped forward, took the man from the waiter's hand, put him on his back, and walked into the yard.

"What happened? Why were you beaten like this?"

When the waiter saw that Mrs. Li was asking about him, he could only step forward and reply: "To answer the old lady's question, the shopkeeper met the old man not far from the restaurant. At that time, the old man was crawling on the ground. The younger one didn’t know what happened, but the elder didn’t say anything at the time, and he fainted later.”

Seeing that she couldn't find anything, Mrs. Li quickly followed everyone to Boss Su's house. Boss Su's family lived in the backyard. Su Chen didn't hear the movement at the door of the front yard.

Su Chen was reading in the room and didn't want to come out when he heard the noise, but he seemed to faintly hear that his father was injured, so he put down the book and left the room.

As soon as I came out, I saw the person being carried by my second uncle. His whole face was bruised and swollen, not to mention his hair was a mess, and his body was all dirty. One of his legs was still hanging, and it looked like it might be broken. Su Chen was shocked. In fact, he didn't have much affection for his father, but if his father was gone now, he wouldn't be able to take the exam the year after next.

If he couldn't take the exam the year after next, it would be another five years before he could take the exam. Five years was too long and he couldn't wait.

"Mom, dad, what's wrong?"

"Your dad is fine. He was just beaten. You go back and read."

"Mom, how can I read a book when my father looks like this? I'll go see my father first."

By the time the mother and son were talking, Su Laoer had already carried the elder Su into the house and placed him on the bed. Su Yu also came in to join in the fun.

"Boss, please give me a scrub first and ask the servants at home to bring some hot water."

After Mrs. Li gave instructions, everyone who had entered the house left the house. After Yin Jian brought water, Mrs. Ji scrubbed Mr. Su in the house and changed into clean clothes, then everyone entered the house again.

In such a delay, the doctor called by shopkeeper Tong had already entered the room. Now everyone was standing in the room, watching the doctor check Boss Su's injured leg.

"The leg bone has been broken. If it is reattached, it will not cause any disease if you recuperate properly during the period. You cannot move while you are recuperating."

"Then there's Doctor Lao."

When the doctor finished speaking, no one came forward to pick up the doctor. Su Laoer had no choice but to step forward. Everyone in the room knew that whoever stepped forward to pick up the doctor would be the one paying for it, so everyone pretended not to know.

The doctor nodded and took out the bamboo strips and ointment from the box he brought. He first flattened Mr. Su's broken leg, then carefully touched the bones with his hands, and reset the bones based on many years of experience.

Boss Su woke up directly from the pain. When he got up, he wanted to grab his injured leg.

"Hurry up and hold him down. Don't move at this moment. If the bones are not reattached and you walk lame in the future, I can't blame you."

When Su Laoer heard that it was okay, he quickly stepped forward and suppressed the person firmly. Ji was also helping.

The doctor here was helping to set the bone. During this period, Mr. Su's howling could be heard from time to time. It took less than half an hour to reattach the bone. Then the doctor took a plaster and applied it thickly to the broken leg, and tied the leg with a bamboo board. Well fixed.

After doing all this, the doctor raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"Okay, then you have to take good care of it. Later I will prescribe a prescription to drink three times a day, and it will be enough for ten days."

"Thank you, doctor."

"No need to thank you. Just pay for the consultation fee and the medicine. It's a total of twelve taels of silver." Upon hearing so much money, the people in the old house stopped talking.

Butler You came in handy at this time and stepped forward to invite the doctor out of the room.

Mrs. Li had something to say as soon as she saw it.

"Second brother, you left your family's money to Butler Nayou."

"That's not true. The household expenses are in the accounting room, but Butler You can take the money from the accounting room and just sign his name when the time comes."

The Su family didn't have a counting house before, so they usually got their money from Su Yu. However, since Su Yan came back, there were a counting house and a housekeeper in the house, and Su Yu suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

Every month, Su Yu will put the monthly pocket expenses in the accounting room. The servants in the family only need to report to Su Yu here, and then they can go to the accounting room to get money. Su Yu only needs to check the family at the end of the month. Just the ledger.

"Are you stupid? How can you take your own money into the hands of outsiders? And why don't I know that there is a counting house at home?"

Su Laoer didn't know what to say. Su Yu immediately stepped forward to explain to his father.

"Nai, that accountant doesn't actually belong to our family, but to Yu Zhuangyuan's family. That accountant is in charge of the accounts of the workshop and the restaurant. As you know, there aren't many literate people in our family. Now that there are more people, there are more things to do. So I gave the accountant a little salary every month and asked him to take care of our family's expenses."

"I won't say it before. Now that I'm here, I've been able to take care of myself these days. From now on, I'll be in charge of the family's accounts. I'll send the money to the West House later, and the account books won't be needed. I can't even read those things. Understand, take as much as you need from my hand in the future."

The three members of the eldest family were overjoyed when they heard this. If the money was in the hands of the old lady, it would mean it was in the hands of their eldest family, so none of them said anything at this moment. Even when they were lying on the bed, they were still talking. Boss Su, who was wailing, became silent now.

Su Yu almost couldn't help but spit out the quintessence of Chinese culture, but thinking about what happened next, she could bear it now.

"Mistress, this is a trivial matter. The money can be brought to your house at any time. The most important thing now is that the uncle was beaten. One of his legs was broken. This is not a trivial matter. Uncle, please tell us the truth. What's going on? Although we are farmers, we don't have the right to be bullied like this. Uncle, please tell me who broke this leg. If it doesn't work, we will report it to the official."

The whole family didn't say anything, and Boss Su, who was lying on the bed, almost sat up.

"You can't report to the official!"

Seeing everyone looking over, Boss Su also felt that his reaction was a bit too much and laughed dryly.

"I met the assassin in the city, and my leg was broken by the assassin."

Boss Su breathed a sigh of relief as soon as he said the words, thinking that he was really smart and put the blame on the assassin, so no one would suspect anything.

Unexpectedly, Su Yu immediately became angry when he heard what he said.

"You are really lawless. You dare to hurt people in the street. This is because you don't take the emperor seriously! But don't worry, uncle, this matter was definitely not done by an assassin. If you really meet an assassin, don't treat it like a broken leg. It's so simple, those assassins are all here for the life of our family.

However, my brother has some relationship with Master Fu Yinjiang. He will send someone to the government office to say hello later. I believe the people in the government office will find out the truth. "
