Qian's disease also did not expect that the account office would send over a box just after noon. When Qian's disease opened the box, it was filled with silver ingots.
”Housekeeper Li, this is …”
”These are the orders that the young masters have sent to the and Madam. Now, the old master has ordered for the accounts rooms to be repaid.”
Housekeeper Li bowed his head and stood respectfully at the side. Qian's disease estimated that there was at least a thousand taels of silver in there, and it was not as if he had not received any of these in the past few years. Besides, he had two boxes of gold and silver in the box that his mother had brought with his. She wasn't short on any of them.
Sun Jinzi also didn't expect that Sun Fuping would finally be so quick to fork out the money again. If it wasn't for grandma coming this time, then they would have already suffered a loss due to all these difficulties. Just like in her previous life, after her mother died, she was even poorer and had no way to live.
”Housekeeper Li, take it back and give it to the old master. I don't have that much information …”
”Mistress, since Master has sent it, please accept it. This is what you deserve. ”
Qian's disease wanted to say something, but was stopped by Sun Jinzi. Whether or not he gave them more, these were things that they should have had anyway. Furthermore, if he gave her too much, it would only mean that her father was guilty of something and that would be the case. Otherwise, Sun Fuping would grab onto this silver even harder than anyone else.
While Qian's disease was hesitating, Housekeeper Li had already left. Housekeeper Li always had a sense of propriety when doing things, and he did not refuse again. In the past, when she was in the main wife's room, she also took the Housekeeper Li's dutiful duties into consideration and had given her rewards, but he had never taken any of them.
However, Sun Jinzi still took out some silver and used the kernels to pack it.
As for the boxes in the yard, they had not been packed properly, and were actually being carried in from the outside.
”Housekeeper Li, this again!”
Feeling the bag of things Sun Jinzi handed over to him in his sleeve, Housekeeper Li still accepted it after thinking for a while.
Sun Jinzi never had any prizes, so she naturally didn't give much this time. Seeing Housekeeper Li accept it, her heart felt a little more at ease. This showed that the Housekeeper Li treated him sincerely. It wasn't that she hadn't seen Lance's and the Zhong's give him money, but he had rejected them both.
Therefore, in Sun Jinzi's eyes, Housekeeper Li had always been a person who knew his limits.
”This is the dowry left in the storage room by the Mrs. Zhong for her wife. Now they're all back. ”
Originally, Sun Fuping had wanted to give back these details, but he had already done so much.
Just when Sun Jinzi wanted to go inside the house to tell the Qian's disease about it, she found that the Qian's disease was standing by the door. Her eyes were filled with tears. When her dowry was carried away, she did not feel too sad, but when she brought it back, Qian's disease felt that everything was in vain.
He was even more confident that the old master did not know anything.
Sun Jinzi didn't know what the Qian's disease was thinking, she only knew that when they were weak and had no power behind them, she would go and cry to Sun Fuping.
All of this was unfair, but it had been blocked off. But now that his grandmother had come and his uncle had gained power, he had voluntarily returned it.
Back then, when he had fallen into despair and gotten married, he would never have imagined such a scene.
”Mother, you should go to the house and rest. I'll stay here and watch.”
Qian's disease only shook his head, looking at these things filling the entire courtyard, he felt that it was really too rare to see these things returning to his hands even in his lifetime.
Sun Jinzi did not force her, as this was also considered an understanding, but since she had brought it back today, Sun Jinzi would not allow these things to be carried out one day, if not she would not forgive herself.
”Housekeeper Li, what about Mrs. Zhong?”
Housekeeper Li only shook his head. He didn't have anything to say about the matter of not getting the right person. Although he heard that the was beaten up by the Old Master and locked in his courtyard, he still got the information from the servant girls. Therefore, he could not make any wild guesses.
Furthermore, although the key was in the hands of the Zhong's, these matters were handled by the accountant.
The Housekeeper Li did not want to think too much into such complicated matters. He only knew that as long as he abided by his duty, he would be able to settle down and live in the Sun Mansion.
When the accountant handed the list to Housekeeper Li, Housekeeper Li took a rough look and gave it to him to look at.
It was just that how could Qian's disease feel like this right now? Sun Jinzi folded the list and held it in her hands.
”We, the Housekeeper Li, will naturally be troubled. We will have to trouble the Housekeeper Li.”
Housekeeper Li cupped his fists, his old face was at ease, ”Back then, it was carried out by me, and now it has been returned to me. Even a hundred years later, old slave will be at peace.”
When Qian's disease looked at the boxes in the courtyard, he felt that it was like a lifetime ago. When she married over, he also looked at the boxes in the courtyard the next day. Sun Fuping was very grateful for her kindness and personally handed the key to the accounting room over to her.
But only a few years later, everything changed. Seeing her things being carried away one by one, her heart was hollowed out, but now that she came back, she felt that something had changed, but she couldn't quite tell what it was.
”Mom, we won't order these things. There's one more thing and one less. That's it.”
Qian's disease nodded, his expression still a little absent-minded.
”It's just that this matter really pissed Grandma Meng off quite a bit. Why don't I go tell her about it myself?”
