Chapter 4 — Three years without a house, he lost his wife Khuynh Thanh

“In that case, tomorrow I will hand over the housekeeping rights to mother.”

I spoke slowly. As soon as the old lady heard that, she immediately became spirited. A look of joy appeared on her face. Just to save face, I tried to keep it down.

"That's good. During this time, you should rest first to get better. Wait until your body recovers and then continue to manage the house."

In my heart, I smiled coldly. Since the day I married into the Do family, my mother's health has always been poor. In the main room, there was only the eldest sister-in-law alone, with no significant voice. That's why the housekeeper's power falls into my hands. Over the past years, from clothing, expenses to all household expenses of the entire Do family, I have secretly used my dowry to make up for it. The mother thought that these past few years the Do family had become truly wealthy. After her body improved, she began to crave the housekeeper's position. It's just that up until now, I've managed everything inside and out without any mistakes, so it's not convenient for you to open your mouth to ask for it back. Now I take the initiative to hand over housekeeping rights, which is exactly what you want. I just don't know what expression she will show at the handover tomorrow.

"Right."

Do Thanh suddenly spoke up.

"You come in first, you're my sister. Remember to prepare a meeting ceremony for Van Ninh."

Upon hearing that, Lieu Van Ninh immediately spoke.

“Van Ninh would like to thank you in advance!”

Tell the wife to prepare a gift for her husband's wife. This kind of thing can only be done by people from the Do family!

"Don't worry, sister. When the time comes, I will definitely give you a big gift."

“That would be great.”

Do Thanh completely did not hear the implications of my words. Regarding my awareness, he seemed quite satisfied. He still maintained his noble and noble appearance as if bestowing a blessing, slightly nodding his head at me.

"There's nothing more for you to do. Go back."

I glanced at Lieu Van Ninh's proud face, then stood up and left. The next morning, when the mother saw the remaining silver on the books in the palace, an expression of disbelief immediately appeared on her face.

“Why is there only this much silver left?”

Immediately after that, she became angry.

"Tell me! Have you embezzled?"

"Mother is joking. Mother knows everything about the second family's benefits. As for other revenues in the government, each and every item is clearly recorded. Expenditures are also recorded very transparently. Does mother not see that every month the daughter-in-law has to take out a lot of dowry to make up for it? So where does the embezzlement come from?"

I looked at the model's unsightly face and continued:

"From the day I became the housekeeper until now, in the past three years, a total of 10,000 silver dowries have been spent to compensate the house. Now the housekeeper's rights have been handed over to mother, so please return that 10,000 silver amount later."

Originally, the model was still angry because the amount of silver on the books was too little. But as soon as she heard that she had to return my dowry, she immediately lost her temper and got angry. Immediately change to another face.

"Thanh Nguyet, we are all one family, isn't it too polite to divide things so clearly? Furthermore, even if you put money into the public treasury, don't you still use that money yourself?"

“But mother, Shouldn't I be allowed to use public money?"

At that moment, Do Thanh walked in. Seeing that his mother's face was not good, he immediately turned towards me and shouted:

“To Thanh Nguyet, it's early in the morning and you dare to make your mother unhappy! Who gave her such great courage to dare to be so unfilial?

“Second master, you should still understand the story first before talking.”

“Huh! No matter what, mother is unhappy because of her!”

I'm too lazy to argue further. Immediately signaled Thai Lien to bring the books to Do Thanh to see. After looking at the books, Do Thanh's eyebrows gradually furrowed. Obviously, he understands better than anyone else about the government's revenues and expenditures.

“I told my mother just now. Over the past three years, I have used ten thousand taels of silver from my dowry to compensate the government."
