Yu Huai has never worried about money matters since he got married. In the past, Mei was in charge of these tedious matters inside the house and the shops outside.

But since Zhang entered the house, Zhang has gradually been in charge of these things. But with such big things happening in the house these two days, Yu Huai couldn't sit still.

He felt that the family was involved because of the Zhang family. The most important thing was that the family had lost hundreds of thousands of taels, while the Zhang family could say that all the property that could be pawned in the family had been pawned, and now they only had to What remains is an empty mansion and two shops outside to support daily expenses.

After Yu Huai thought about it clearly, he came to Zhang to discuss what to do next.

The most dissatisfied thing about Yu Huai marrying Zhang is Zhang's natal family, which is like vampires and won't let go of their family.

Now that things are getting better, their family is almost unable to survive, and they will definitely have to come to visit them in the future.

But the house has lost so much money now, and there is really not much money on hand. He doesn't want to be entangled with such a relative again.

"Madam, you have to take good care of your natal family. Don't let them come to your door again and again to ask for money, otherwise this relative won't want it."

It's not surprising that Yu Huaihui said this about the Zhang family. In fact, she doesn't have much affection for the Zhang family. She used to be a concubine in the family, and she was always angry with her aunt since she was a child. She also wanted to make a clean break with the Zhang family, but If she really does this, her reputation will really be lost.

She didn't have much, but she still had two sons who were not married yet. If she had such a reputation, who would marry their daughter into their house.

Zhang has a lot of thoughts in her heart, and now she can only comfort her master first.

"Master, I know everything you said. I will find a way to prevent them from coming to my mother's house to cause trouble."

"It's good that you know. It's just that you have to check the shop downstairs carefully. If something happens again, our family has lost hundreds of thousands of taels of money in the past few days. If we continue to lose like this, our family will probably lose money." You have to follow in the footsteps of your mother’s family.”

"Don't worry, sir. I've asked the shopkeepers of each shop to check everything. If anything goes wrong, report it to me right away."

Seeing that Mrs. Zhang had arranged everything, Yu Huai finally felt better.

After losing hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, he was so distressed that he almost bled, but he couldn't show it in front of Zhang, lest Zhang think he was stingy.

Men always have a good face.

In fact, over the years, the several shops under the house have not earned much money. In addition to being used to maintain the daily expenses of the house, what is left every year is only a few thousand to ten thousand taels. This little money is spent every New Year. When the time comes, they have to be welcomed and taken away to take care of themselves. It can almost be said that nothing is left after a year.

But none of these Yuhuai knew, only Zhang herself knew where the money she had saved over the years came from.

This was also her confidence in front of Yu Huai. Yu Huai always thought that the money was earned by Zhang's management of the shop, but he could not figure out where the money came from.

The couple had a good discussion here, while Qinglin was reporting the progress of the matter to Yu Zheng.

"Master, the Zhang family is almost unable to make ends meet, and here at the house, I estimate that the Zhang family still has two to three hundred thousand taels."

Yu Zheng has been recuperating at home for the past two months. His body is weak and needs to be recuperated, but his mind is idle. Previously, he had been doing things for the emperor and couldn't spare any time to clean up the mess in the house. Now the emperor happened to give him a holiday so that he could take a good rest. As soon as his mind was free, Yu Zheng wanted to find something for Zhang to do. .

He had swallowed so much money from him before, and he wanted Zhang to spit it out.

"If the notice continues, there will be no need to send money to the Zhang family this year."

It can be said that the two sides are completely at odds now. After Yu Zheng came to Kyoto City, he sent money to Zhang in the name of his uncle in order to stabilize her. That is no longer necessary.

In addition to spending the money saved by the Zhang family over the years on their two sons, most of the rest returned to Yu Zheng's hands in the past few days.

"Yes, master."

"Also, let our people send a message to the Zhang family, saying that the Zhang family still has a lot of money."

This is because Yu Zheng didn't beat anyone to death with a single stroke. Yu Zheng knew the temperament of the Zhang family. He knew that the Zhang family still had money in their hands, and the Zhang family was in such a situation now, so he didn't trust the Zhang family. Ba can still sit still, all he has to do now is watch the fire from the other side.

Ever since Mrs. Zhang got 200,000 taels of silver from her married sisters-in-law that day and returned home to pay off the money, the family's life was worse than that of the more respectable servants before.

The masters only had two dishes for each meal, one meat and one vegetarian. As for the servants following the master, it was better, they had vegetarian dishes to eat, and those third-class maids and servants had steamed buns. Served with pickles, their hands and feet became weak when they walked.

But now is the most difficult time for the family. If they can avoid being sold out, they are already burning incense.

In fact, the Zhang family has not thought of selling a group of servants out, but families like them are all about face. If they sell their servants, it will not tell everyone in Kyoto City that their family It's reached the point where I want to sell myself off.

No one in the Mianzhang family can afford to be embarrassed, so they can only suffer by themselves.

In fact, this is what the Zhang family thinks. The news about their family has long been spread in Kyoto City. Now who doesn't know that the Zhang family is like donkey dung eggs with a shiny surface but nothing on the inside.

After a few days, not only the servants of the Zhang family couldn't bear it anymore, but also the masters.

Mrs. Zhang is already over sixty this year, but she is in good health and looks like she can live for a few more years.

Ever since the eldest daughter-in-law came back with a banknote of 200,000 taels that day, she knew that there must be money there for the second girl, but she was very fickle when they were not married, and now she has to lose face. Go and beg, but she won't.

So that day, she called her eldest daughter-in-law and beat her in front of her. How could Mrs. Zhang not understand the implication of her mother-in-law's words? She just wanted her to go to Yu Mansion again to get some money.

To be honest, she has had enough life in the past two days, and she only has two or three pieces of clothing and jewelry left to wear when going out to meet people. Zaifu was wearing old clothes from a few years ago, but she couldn't show any displeasure in front of her master, otherwise she would definitely be scolded by him.

Now that my mother-in-law said this, even though Mrs. Zhang didn't want to, she still had to go this time, so Nono had no choice but to agree.
