She gave birth to three daughters in a row, and was kicked out by her mother-in-law who favored boys

Chapter 392: Braised Meat Shop Dividends

In the main hall of the inner courtyard, Dahua sat on a bench with her back straight, looking at her aunt and Aunt Meihua nervously.

Finally, he looked at Gu Qingqing for help.

Gu Qingqing looked at Dahua encouragingly, "There are no outsiders here, just tell my aunt and Aunt Meihua what I taught you every day, just as you always tell me."

Luo Meihua was surprised and astonished. She turned her head and looked at Gu Qingqing, "Sister-in-law, did you really teach Dahua to do these accounts?"

"What else?" Gu Qingqing looked at her and asked with a smile.

"You, you're not worried about Dahua's plan, or what..." Luo Pingmei didn't know whether to say that she miscalculated or did something wrong. She just felt that the eight-year-old Dahua could remember the shop's accounts clearly?

However, she did not say the rest to the child, for fear of upsetting him.

Lu Xiaocao also had a look of admiration on her face, and she didn't know whether to admire Ajie or Dahua.

Gu Qingqing thought it was no big deal. "It's not as complicated as you think. I was watching every stroke of Dahua. Don't you agree, Hua'er?"

Dahua nodded eagerly. That’s right. She had two account books for keeping accounts.

The records in the two account books are the same, except that there are some mistakes in the first one that she accidentally made. Her mother would point them out to her and tell her. After she made the changes and asked her mother to confirm them, she would carefully write down the things in the scribbled account book in the new account book.

Dahua nodded and saw his aunt looking at him with distrust. He said hurriedly, "Aunt, my mother taught me very seriously. And every time I finished the account book, she would sign it. If you don't believe me, just look."

Dahua said as she opened the account book in front of her and pushed it in front of Luo Meihua and Lu Xiaocao.

The two adults looked at each other, they didn't know how to read and they didn't know how to read either.

Just when the two adults were about to nod and get away with it, Dahua stretched out her slender index finger and pointed at the three words on the corner of each piece of paper to show them, "Look, this is my mother's name."

"Oh, great. Dahua is indeed the best." Luo Meihua took the opportunity to praise the child so that she would not appear so embarrassed.

"Yes, Dahua can even help your mother with the accounts, she is really amazing." Lu Xiaocao followed closely.

Dahua's eyes lit up when she received the praise.

Gu Qingqing watched this scene very clearly from the side. She smiled softly and said to Dahua, "Okay, aunt and uncle know about it. Dahua, you go and tell them how much money our shop has spent and earned this month."

After being interrupted by several people, Dahua was no longer nervous and sat up straight again.

He stared at the account book and said one sentence at a time, "Aunt, aunt, here are the expenses for renting a house, buying and selling food, daily expenses, etc. The total amount is twelve taels, five hundred and sixty coins."

When this number came out, Luo Meihua and Lu Xiaocao were both shocked. Meihua, who had just believed Dahua, asked anxiously, "Dahua, could this be wrong? We didn't do anything, why did we spend so much money?"

"Yes, my aunt and your Aunt Meihua did not spend money indiscriminately." Lu Xiaocao said with surprise, but her eyes fell on Gu Qingqing, as if to say, "Sister, you have to believe us."

Seeing her aunt and auntie asking this, Dahua acted confidently and said, "Auntie and auntie, all the expenses are recorded here. Every day, I buy water, pig heads, chickens and ducks at home, and the rent of the shop..."

Dahua wrote down the accounts one by one for each person. Except for her initial nervousness, every word she explained now makes sense.

Gu Qingqing looked at the two nervous people and chuckled, "You two are the managers of the shop. You are so scared by this little expense. Why don't you ask Dahua how much profit we have?"

After she gave her advice, Lu Xiaocao hurriedly asked, "Dahua, please tell your aunt how much money we made?"

Dahua flipped through the account book carefully, looking at a string of numbers and said, "Aunt, Aunt, our shop earned thirty-five taels, three hundred and twenty coins this month."

Bang!

Lu Xiaocao almost fell off the stool after hearing this. She subconsciously grabbed Luo Meihua's arm and said, "Oh my god, we earned so much?"

"But, but it's not that great. I thought we could get at most thirty taels. I usually only remember a rough estimate, but I didn't expect there would be so much."

"Aunt and aunt, we only made a net profit of more than 600 coins on the first day, and it became more and more afterwards." Dahua said as he flipped through the account book.

Seeing that Dahua had explained the income and expenditure clearly, Gu Qingqing slowly spoke, "It is reasonable that we made more money by adding some dried tofu, bean skin, braised eggs and cold dishes. In addition, the shop rent that Dahua just mentioned..."

Gu Qingqing had mentioned some things about the shop to the two of them on weekdays. When calculating the total accounts, she simply explained it again and finally concluded, "This month's total net profit is 22 taels, 760 wen. According to what we agreed before, each of you will get 20% of the net profit..."

As Gu Qingqing spoke, she uncovered a piece of cloth on the table, and saw several pieces of silver and two strings of copper coins under the cloth.

While Luo Meihua and Lu Xiaocao were still calculating how many taels of silver they could get from 20%, Gu Qingqing grabbed four taels of silver in each hand and placed them in front of them. "20% of the net profit is four taels, five hundred and fifty-two coins. Here are the four taels, and the other five hundred and fifty-two coins are also here."

Gu Qingqing kept in mind the importance of the first three months. She did not carry the copper coins but pushed them directly in front of the two people who were still confused.

"This, so much?" Luo Meihua only earned less than one or two taels a month last year, and she had to pull her own cart to the town last year. This year, not only does she drive a donkey to the town, but she actually earns more than four taels a month.

Gu Qingqing smiled at Meihua, then looked at Xiaocao who was still in a daze. She stretched out her hand and shook it in front of her, "Hey, you've come back to life. Are you dissatisfied with the fact that I gave you too little?"

It would have been fine if she hadn't said it. As soon as she said it, Lu Xiaocao's eyes immediately turned into lakes. "Sister, our family can't save so much money in a year. Woo woo wow~"

Xiaocao's dry howl really annoyed Gu Qingqing. She frantically took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears. "Hey, you are so old, why are you still crying? Please shut up. It will be embarrassing for little Gu Qi to hear you crying."

Luo Meihua had been in contact with Xiaocao a lot during this period, and knew that she had not been living a good life before, so she kept comforting her.

As a result, Lu Xiaocao cried and said, "I'm crying in front of my sister, what's so shameful about that?"

Gu Qingqing was amused by her childish tone and teased her deliberately, "Yes, in front of me and in front of Dahua. From now on, you will be a crybaby aunt in Dahua's eyes."

Needless to say, this sentence really worked. Lu Xiaocao immediately shut up and glared at Dahua who was laughing secretly with red eyes, "Dahua, you didn't see anything today, do you understand?"

Dahua's eyes curved into crescent shapes from laughing. She covered her mouth with her hands and said, "I didn't see anything. I didn't see my aunt cry. Hahahaha!"

Finally, Dahua ran out of the house with a smile on her face.
