Chapter 28: Short of Money

When Ling Chu retorted, the second lady choked immediately.

Let the older girl take charge? How can this work?

Not to mention being in charge, not even Guan Zhongfu.

Although Guan Zhongfu is a bit harder, there are also many benefits.

She used to help the eldest lady manage Zhongfu in Shangshu Mansion, and she used the convenience in her hands to gain a lot of benefits.

It's a pity that they are gone now.

Now that she is penniless, she has to find a way to manage her debt so that she can get back what she lost.

The second lady was naturally dissatisfied after being criticized by Ling Chu. But now I still expect her to spend money to buy things, so I can only endure it.

"The eldest girl was joking, of course your grandparents are in charge of this family.

But you also know that we are all penniless now, and even if we want to buy something, we are unable to do so.

Not to mention anything else, there is no one in this house who only has this kind of clothes on his body, without even a change of clothes.

There was only an empty big bed in that room. If there wasn't even a quilt, your grandmother wouldn't have fallen ill from the cold at night. "

Seeing that the uncle Ling Zong was still standing aside, the second lady added, "Your eldest brother has been weak since he was a child. If he doesn't eat well and sleep well, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it."

The eldest young master, Ling Hao, has been highly valued in the mansion since he was a child. I don't believe that my uncle will not be moved when she mentions him.

Sure enough, Ling Zong was moved after hearing this, "Sister Chu, your second aunt is right. You still need to buy some clothes, gauze curtains, brocade quilts, etc."

The second lady's lips curled up, and she volunteered, "Uncle, it is said that my sister-in-law should be in charge of the middle feed.

But now Brother Hao is in poor health, and his sister-in-law has to take care of him, so she may be too busy.

Why don't you give me the money, and I'll go to the embroidery building to buy clothes, shoes, socks, and brocade quilts, and let my sister-in-law stay in the house and take care of Brother Hao. "

Ling Zong never paid attention to these internal affairs. After hearing the second lady's words, he immediately nodded, "That's fine."

The second lady was smiling and was about to take the banknote.

Ling Chu frowned. She felt it was necessary to remind her father to understand the situation clearly.

"Dad, I only have fifty taels left in my hand. The things in the embroidery building are not cheap. Why not go to the cloth shop to pull some cloth back and let the second aunt, the third aunt and several aunts start making clothes and quilts."

Ling Chu didn't want to worry about these things. After all, she gave out the banknotes and never thought about getting them back.

It's just that the second aunt is a person who loves petty gains. The hundred taels in her hands may not be enough to buy two sets of clothes.

Ling Zong looked embarrassed. He really didn't expect this at the moment.

The second lady paused as she took the banknote and said, "Girl, it will take a lot of time to pull the cloth back and make it. Although the female relatives in the house are all good at embroidery, how can they compare with the embroidery work done in the embroidery workshop? good."

Ling Chu sneered, "Second Aunt, what is your status in our mansion now? Normally, I can't control what kind of clothes you want to wear. But now there is no income in the mansion. After these one hundred taels are spent, how do you plan to live? Damn it? To be a beggar?”

She doesn't have enough money to spend by herself, so don't think about coming to her again to complain about poverty in two days when she has no money.

The second lady's face turned black with anger at her straightforward words, "I just saw that your mother had to take care of your eldest brother, and I was afraid that she would be too busy, so I thought of helping her go to the embroidery workshop and buy things back. Since If you’re not worried, you’d better find someone else to handle it.”

Seeing the second lady throwing away her sleeves with a dark face, Ling Zong frowned and said with disapproval, "Sister Chu, your second aunt also has good intentions and wants to help. She is an elder after all. It's not good for you to treat her like this." ”

Ling Chu almost couldn't help but roll his eyes at her biological father. He couldn't even eat, so why did he care about his face?

"Dad, now that there is no property in the house, you, my second uncle, and my third uncle have to plan how to live their lives in the future. I can't support this big family by myself, right?

The money I have is not inexhaustible. "

Her words were so straightforward that Ling Zong felt a little embarrassed on his face.

However, thinking that what my daughter said was correct and it was hard to refute, I could only say calmly, "Dad knows the severity and will discuss it with your second and third uncles."

Seeing that he had listened to his words, Ling Chu breathed a sigh of relief.

The doctor has already come for diagnosis and treatment. Madam Tai and the others have no major problems, and Ling Chu has no intention of visiting again.

Everyone was taboo about her fate, so there was no need for her to come forward to seek trouble. It would be better to meet each other less often and maintain the superficial harmony.

Ling Zong looked at his daughter's retreating back, feeling unspeakable in his heart. He had very complicated feelings for this daughter. When he learned that his wife had given birth to a pair of twins, he was actually happy.

But I didn't expect that she would be destined to be a relative. Everyone in the house was jealous of her fate, so as a last resort, she had to be sent to Xuanqing Temple for foster care.

They had never seen each other in the past ten years, and he had almost forgotten about this eldest daughter. He didn't expect that in just a blink of an eye, she would be her hairpin.

If his wife hadn't mentioned to him that her eldest daughter had reached the age of marriage and proposed to take her back to her home, he would never have thought that there was another daughter fostered in a Taoist temple.

But he didn't expect that as soon as he came back, Jin Yiwei would come and ransack his home. He knew that everyone thought this was a disaster brought about by his eldest daughter's destiny, and he became even more unhappy with her.

Although he didn't know whether it was because of his eldest daughter, the timing of his father's accident was too coincidental. Everything went smoothly for so many years, but something happened just after the eldest daughter came back.

Reason told him that his daughter was not to blame for his father's affairs, after all, she was sent away as soon as the accident happened. But whenever he thought about being demoted from an official to a commoner, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

But he didn't have the face to blame this eldest daughter. Although he didn't know why his father was corrupt, he knew that the treasury was empty now. If the emperor hadn't taken a fancy to the eldest daughter's ability to find hidden silver by divination, based on the amount of his father's corruption, their fate would never be as simple as being demoted to commoners.

Moreover, he, his father, and his second and third brothers were now poor and penniless. If it weren't for the money from the eldest daughter, their family might really have become beggars who couldn't even eat.

Ling Chu didn't know her father's contradictory mood. After leaving the house, she went straight to the busy street, intending to see if she could find a suitable way to make money.

After all, she didn't have much money on hand, and she couldn't just sit back and eat it all.

Although she had no feelings for the family in the mansion, she couldn't leave them and start her own business now.

There were dozens of people in the mansion, and she had to help them find a livelihood. She couldn't support so many people.

However, Ling Chu had only traveled for a short time and knew too little about this dynasty. In addition, she didn't have any capital, so it was not easy to find a suitable way to make money.

Seeing that it was noon, she was tired and hungry, but still had no harvest. Ling Chu planned to have lunch on the street and then go back to the mansion, and go to the street again tomorrow.

Ling Chu didn't dare to go to the restaurant because she didn't have much money. She just bought two meat buns on the street and solved her lunch with tea.

When passing by the clinic, she remembered that the health medicine was gone, so she planned to go into the clinic to get a few more.

However, after hearing the price of the medicine reported by the medicine boy, Ling Chu almost ran away in embarrassment.

She didn't expect that the little money she had left couldn't even afford a prescription.
