MTL - I Made a Fortune By Raiding Houses In Ancient Times-Chapter 28 Strapped for money

Chapter 28: Money is tight

 The second lady choked immediately after being retorted by Ling Chu.

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

 Let alone being in charge, even if you are in charge of the job, it will not work.

 Although it is a bit harder to manage the situation, there are also many benefits.

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

 It’s a pity that they are all 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 Madam 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 elder girl was joking, of course your grandparents will run this house.

 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, and doesn’t even have 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 family since he was a child. I don't believe that my uncle won't be moved if she mentions him.

As expected, Ling Zong was moved after hearing these words, "Sister Chu, your second aunt is right. You still need to buy more 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 still be in charge of this middle school.

 It's just that Brother Hao is in poor health now, 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 shop 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.

Lingchu 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 shop are not cheap. It is better to 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 the banknotes away 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 are probably not enough to buy two sets of clothes.

Ling Zong looked embarrassed. He really didn't think of 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 your poverty when you run out of money in two days.

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 take care of 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 is also kind-hearted 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, there is no property in the house now. You, your second uncle, and your third uncle must plan how you will live 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 with a calm face, "Dad knows the seriousness and will discuss it with your second uncle and third uncle."

Lingchu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had listened to what he said.

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

Everyone is taboo about her fate, so there is no need for her to step forward to make herself miserable. 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 Xuanqingguan for foster care.

He had almost forgotten about this eldest daughter, whom he had not seen for more than ten years. Unexpectedly, he had missed her hairpin in just a blink of an eye.

If his wife hadn't mentioned to him that the 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.

He just 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 fate, and they 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 could not be blamed for what happened to his father. After all, she was sent away just after she was born. But whenever he thought of being demoted from an official to a commoner, he would inevitably feel a little uncomfortable in his heart.

But he didn't have the shame to blame the eldest daughter. Although he didn't know why his father was greedy for money, 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 with hexagrams, he would have been greedy for money based on his father's greed for money. quantity, their fate will never be as simple as being demoted to common people.

Moreover, he, his father, his second brother and his third brother were now white and penniless. If it were not for the money from the eldest daughter, their family might have become beggars who could not even afford food.

Lingchu didn't know her father's conflicting mood. After leaving the house, she went straight to the streets to see if she could find a suitable way to make money.

After all, she doesn't have much money on hand, so she can't just sit back and have nothing.

Even though she has no feelings for the big family in the house, she can't break away from them and start her own business now.

There are dozens of people in the house, and she has to help them find a living. There can't be so many people, and they all rely on her to support them.

 It’s just that Ling Chu’s time travel was still short, and he didn’t know much about this dynasty. In addition, he didn’t have much capital at hand, so it was really not easy to find a suitable way to make money.

Seeing that it was already noon, he was tired and hungry, and still had nothing to gain. Ling Chu planned to have lunch on the street before returning home, and then go out on the street again tomorrow.

Since he didn't have much money, Ling Chu didn't dare to go to a restaurant. He just bought two meat buns on the street and had tea for lunch.

While passing by a medical clinic, I remembered that I ran out of health-preserving medicines, so I planned to go into the medical clinic to get a few more.

However, after hearing the drug price quoted by the medicine guy, Ling Chu almost ran away in embarrassment.

She didn’t expect that with the little money she had left, she couldn’t even afford a pair of medicines.
