After Yingtao retreated, when Yu Zhi thought of the word "outer room", she couldn't lie down on the bed.

She woke up the day before yesterday. Yingtao and Jiang's mother saw that she was watching her so closely that they wouldn't even let her get off the bed. They just sat outside for a while and were soon helped into the house by Yingtao. Speaking of which, she couldn't even get out of bed.

I haven't even looked at the house I live in.

She took a quick look outside just now. The courtyard was not big, but very neat. In addition to the main house, there were three wing rooms to the east and a jujube tree to the west.

A large area of ​​ground under the tree was turned up. Yingying said that Jiang's mother had turned the ground and was going to sow some vegetable seeds. Vegetables are too expensive, so growing some yourself can save a lot of money on buying vegetables.

When Yu Zhi heard this, she felt even more sympathetic to herself. It was enough to dress as an outhouse, but she was still an outhouse living in a farmyard, and the people serving around her seemed unreliable.

Just like in the company, she is a team leader. The employees assigned to her team not only have cross-professional employment, but also have not received formal pre-job training. How do you lead such a team?

No matter how you look at her, she is in a dire situation!

The interior of the house is quite simple, which can be summed up by the word "unobstructed view".

After rummaging through the box, there were only a few clothes, the fabrics were average, and most of them were semi-old. There were only two new ones. The patterns and colors were a bit old-fashioned, and they didn't look like they were worn by young girls at all.

Yu Zhi flipped through his memory, and sure enough, it was a reward from his old owner, the county magistrate's wife.

There is another box under the box, which is locked. Yu Zhi thought for a moment, took off the key hanging around his neck, and sure enough, he opened it immediately.

There were some scattered silver and copper coins in the box. I counted them and found a total of twenty-three taels, five hundred and forty-seven yuan, which is equivalent to several thousand yuan in RMB.

So few! Yu Zhi frowned and began to rummage around the house without giving up.

After searching the whole house, I couldn't find a single penny more. It seemed that these twenty-odd taels of silver were the entire property of the original owner.

Shameful! So shabby!

Yu Zhi locked the money box and threw it back into the box. He opened the dressing box and found two silver hairpins and a red velvet flower.

Oh, even shabbier!

Yu Zhi had no expression on his face and closed the dressing box with a snap.

When she was in the world of cultivation, all her jewelry was made of rare materials such as jade and gemstones. Gold and silver were too tacky for her. Even in modern times, when she was just one month old, she still wore gold and silver. She only had several gold and silver bracelets.

vice.

She had never been so miserable when she was at her poorest.

Yu Zhi lay back on the bed, feeling hopeless.

The benefactor left her here and never showed up again, which shows that he doesn't care about this girl. If he did, could he just find a small courtyard and settle her there?

The leader doesn't pay attention to it, the subordinates are incompetent, and they don't even allocate funds for activities. What should she do?

Yu Zhi felt that she might have to lie down completely this time, and it wouldn't take long for her to turn into a dried fish.

While I was mourning, I heard the voice of Cherry outside, "Mother Jiang, you are back! Have you seen the Third Master?"

Yu Zhi quickly got up and walked out. When he reached the door, his steps slowed down. He imitated the original owner, hunched his shoulders slightly, and gently held the door frame. His eyes were full of anticipation, "Can we see the third master?"

Her hibiscus face, which was pale due to illness, made me feel even more pitiful. A pair of affectionate watery eyes with reddish corners were really charming.

Seeing such a delicate and beautiful woman, not to mention a man, even a woman like Mother Jiang felt extremely distressed. She said in her heart: She is so beautiful, no wonder she can fall in the eyes of a noble young master.

"Girl, why are you out here? Your body is not fully healed yet, so you can't be exposed to the wind." Mother Jiang stuffed the basket into Yingying's hand, took two quick steps, and helped Yu Zhi into the house again.

"Although I didn't see the third master, I got the news. I used money to get in touch with the woman who watched the corner door. She told my slave that the third master didn't come back to the house for two days. I asked her if it was

Is the yamen busy with errands, or is the third master out on errands? The woman was unwilling to say anything at first, and then she forced her mouth open after stuffing her with five taels of silver. It turned out that the third master was out of the capital to handle errands for the prince. As for going

Well, the old lady doesn’t know when she will come back.”

Fearing that Yu Zhi would be disappointed, she quickly said: "Don't worry, girl, I will go and have a look every two days. As soon as the third master comes back, I will invite him over."

Yu Zhi nodded slightly and praised: "Mama Jiang still has a way, thank you for your hard work. But, isn't that mother-in-law too greedy?"

These words reached Mother Jiang's heart. She slapped her thigh, feeling distressed and unwilling, "Isn't it true? I have such a dark heart."

Mother Jiang's last boss was a sixth-grade official. She came from a poor family. Although she could afford servants, she lived an extremely frugal life. Five taels of silver was enough for a month's worth of food.

Later, the master's family found a vacancy through connections. Naturally, not all the slaves were taken away. Mother Jiang, who was not a confidant, was left behind. After all, she had served in an official's house and had more knowledge than ordinary slaves, so she was picked by the third master.

I bought it to serve Yu Zhi.

Mother Jiang lost her husband when she was young and her son when she was middle-aged. Her wealth and life were all placed on her master. How could she not think more about herself? She had her own selfish motives for being so dedicated. She saw that Yu Zhi was young and good-tempered.

She then thought about winning the trust and reliance of her master so that when the third master brings her into the house in the future, she would also have a place to retire.

Otherwise, would she be willing to spend five taels of silver to find out the news? Her heart still aches when she thinks about it now.

Yu Zhi nodded, "There's nothing we can do about it. Those powerful people from aristocratic families, even if they are just servants like a janitor, have a high level of vision. People with a small amount of money will not look down on them at all. But if you can establish a relationship with them, you can spend any amount of money.

It’s worth it, Mother Jiang, you did the right thing.”

Reaffirmed Mother Jiang’s behavior.

Good employees are praised. As a leader, you may not be very capable, but you must be able to appreciate your subordinates.

Mother Jiang was moved. Although she wanted to inquire about the news, she felt uneasy after spending so much money at once, for fear of being blamed by her master.

Now Yu Zhi not only did not blame her, but also praised her for her money well spent. Mother Jiang's heart suddenly warmed up, and she looked forward to Yu Zhi getting better.

Yu Zhi didn't need to ask any more questions, she said it all herself, "Girl, Brother Qingfeng next to the Third Master gave me fifty taels of silver. Apart from the expenses these days, the biggest expense is to hire a doctor to give you medicine."

Yes, I spent almost fourteen taels in total, plus the five taels I spent today, there are less than thirty taels left, can I give it to you?"

It was exactly as Yu Zhi guessed.

After she woke up, the doctor came once. When Mother Jiang went to get medicine, she didn't ask her for any money, so she guessed that Mother Jiang had money in her hand.

Although fifty taels of silver is not much, it is twice as much as her private house. The little money she has in her private house is enough to make her sick. Oops, she is shivering!

"No need, you still have to take medicine and buy groceries every day. It's up to you to keep the money and keep track of the accounts."

Yu Zhi knew very well that this money was public money and had to be spent. Even if she kept it, it would not become her private property. She had to pay it out every day, which would make her heart even more painful.

"This slave is illiterate." Jiang's mother looked embarrassed.

"Then-" Yu Zhi was stunned for a moment and looked at Cherry.

Cherry waved her hands repeatedly, "Girl, don't look at me, I am illiterate."

Is she here to keep accounts?

No! No! As a leader, how can there be any reason to work alone? Employees must be trained.

Yu Zhi said decisively: "We don't have much money to spend, so let's keep it in mind first. I'll teach Yingtao how to read, and when Yingtao learns it, she will take care of the accounting."

Regardless of Cherry's reluctance, the matter was settled.

Yingying and Mama Jiang, one is in charge of accounts and the other is in charge of money, supervising each other so that Yu Zhi, a leader, can sit back and relax.

Perfect!
Chapter completed!
