Gu Nan had lunch with her mother.
Mrs. Gu was in low spirits and had to take a nap in the afternoon.
She stayed in her mother's room, ordered Ruhua to grind ink, and then started writing and drawing on paper.
When Ruyi came back with thirteen boxes, she had filled five or six pieces of paper.
"Girl, one box for each store, what are we going to do next?"
Gu Nan scanned the thirteen boxes one by one.
Ruyi always works carefully and calmly, and each box is numbered.
The Gu family's thirteen businesses are involved in copper and iron, leather, tea and horses, silk cloth shops, restaurants, grain and oil, jewelry, etc.
She carefully walked around the thirteen boxes, trying to remember the shopkeepers of each shop, then closed her eyes and thought for a moment, and picked out seven boxes from them.
"You don't need to look at these seven boxes. Check the remaining six for me carefully, focusing on the purchase price."
"Ruhua, go and invite your sister-in-law to come over and let her come over to look at the accounts."
Ruhua once learned accounting and bookkeeping from the steward of the house, and she is a good accountant.
However, after Mrs. Chang came over, she looked at the account books that were spread all over the floor, and looked at Gu Nan with a startled look.
"Are you serious about coming?"
Gu Nan smiled, "Of course, there is no turning back, I really want to take back the family property.
If I flinch even a little bit, I will be struck by thunder and die. "
Such a heavy oath made Chang's face change slightly, but she couldn't help but snort.
"I just want to ask, what kind of oath are you swearing? Are you afraid that you will really break your promise and be struck by lightning?"
Gu Nan's eyes were a little sour.
In fact, when my sister-in-law first got married, she was very kind to her sister-in-law.
Although she is a bit more talkative, when it comes to food, clothing, housing and transportation, Brother Hong has always had it, and she has it.
Her sister-in-law has always treated her like a child in her heart. If she hadn't done those things, her sister-in-law would not have spoken so harshly to her.
She smiled cheekily and said: "Sister-in-law cares about me. I know that more words are worse than more actions. Sister-in-law, just watch me do things."
Chang didn't expect her to speak like this, so she snorted with a stiff face.
"Who cares about you anymore? You're so smart."
He turned around and walked to Ruyi's side, took an account book and looked down at it.
Gu Nan pursed her lips and smiled.
She will change her sister-in-law's prejudice against her little by little.
Gu Nan did not stare at Ruyi and Chang's accounts, but first went to the second room of Gu's family on East Road to meet his second uncle and cousin Gu Yu.
If she wants to reconcile with Xie Heng, her second uncle and third uncle must come forward, and then they must convince the clan elders to go to the Hou Mansion together.
If her mother's family cannot argue for her, she has no hope of reconciliation.
When they arrived at the second room, Gu Nan saw his second uncle and second aunt and knelt down without saying anything.
Uncle Gu was honest and stubborn. His lips moved. Although he was very angry with his niece, he did not say anything unpleasant.
Second Aunt Gu was very rude when she spoke, and looked askance at Gu Nan, pointing out Sang and scolding Huai.
"Hey, isn't this the Crown Prince's wife of the Hou Mansion? We can't afford to kneel down like the Crown Prince's wife.
Where are the people guarding outside? Are all of them blind? No matter what smells or smells, I dare to put it through the door. "
Gu Nan naturally felt bad after being scolded in the face.
She calmed down and interrupted Aunt Gu.
"Second uncle, second aunt, Gu Nan was wrong in everything in the past, today I am going to take back all the family property.
I also ask my second uncle and second cousin to help me. From now on, we will jointly manage the Gu family's property. "
The straight to the point words made both Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu stunned.
Second Aunt Gu yelled and wanted to scold her again. Gu Nan looked at Uncle Gu with red eyes.
"Second uncle, the Gu family's property was built by father, you, third uncle, and you three brothers.
Are you really willing to let the Hou Mansion take over? "
These words made Uncle Gu's face turn pale.
Although the eldest brother founded the Gu family's industry, he and the third child also contributed.
Unexpectedly, in the end, the eldest brother's last words were to hand over Gu's business to Gu Nan.
He was not without resentment in his heart. In addition, Gu Nan actually let the Hou Mansion take over, and their second and third bedrooms could only get a pitiful amount of bonus money every month.
This made him feel aggrieved and resentful.
Uncle Gu pursed his lips tightly, "Are you serious?"
Gu Nan nodded.
"I have already asked people to check the accounts, and we will seize the family property today."
Uncle Gu's expression moved slightly.
Aunt Gu sneered, "Don't you want to take advantage of our second and third bedrooms again, right? We put in people and efforts, but when the property is returned, they kick us again."
This means that all the men in our family are taken advantage of. We can go forward if we are used, but we can be used later if we are not used. "
Uncle Gu's face darkened.
Gu Nan shook his head.
"The Gu family's property is the joint effort of my father, second uncle, and third uncle, and it should be jointly managed by the three brothers of the Gu family.
It was not easy for my father to win the imperial merchant plaque. If the Gu family's property is really destroyed in my hands, I will be the Gu family's eternal sinner.
There are not two characters of "Gu" in one stroke. The Gu family is both prosperous and destructive.
Only by working together as one, can the Gu family's property be truly protected. If the second uncle and second aunt don't believe me, I can sign the contract now. "
She was serious about handing over Gu's business to the Chang family, but she never thought about kicking out the second and third bedrooms.
Uncle Gu stared at her for a long time, as if judging the authenticity of her words.
Gu Nan took out what he had written from his arms, "If you don't believe me, you can take a look first. I have already written the contract."
Uncle Gu didn't take what she handed over, but stretched out his hand to help her up.
"No need to read, I believe you."
"Master." Aunt Gu was furious, "Aren't you afraid that people will kick you after they finish using it?"
Uncle Gu glared at her.
"Even if we kick him out, the Gu family's property is still in the hands of our Gu family, my niece or grand-nephew."
Aunt Gu stamped her feet, turned around and left in anger.
"Don't worry about your second aunt, she will be fine on her own in a few days."
Uncle Gu turned to ask Gu Nan.
"I'll go to your third uncle's place to help you personally. Let's talk about your plan first."
Gu Nan's nose was slightly sour. Although her second uncle had prejudices against her, he was still willing to believe her once.
She didn't say she wanted to reconcile.
Although the second uncle loved her, what he did caused a rift in their relationship, which took time to repair.
------
Not yet.
Gu Nan walked into the huge meeting hall, feeling dazed for a moment.
This was the place where her father and brother used to gather business managers to discuss matters. She also studied with her father before getting married.
Her father said that she was the lucky star of the Gu family. With her around, the Gu family's business would always be prosperous.
Therefore, her father taught her how to do business step by step, but it was a pity that she was young at the time and did not realize her father's good intentions.
She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her eyes became calm and bright.
There are a row of chairs on each side, where the shopkeepers who come to discuss business usually sit.
Now both sides were full of people, and shopkeepers from thirteen shops were here.
Gu Nan did not go to the middle and sit down. Instead, he walked to the first chair on the side and slowly sat down.
The originally chaotic meeting hall suddenly became quiet.
Everyone looked at Gu Nan, their eyes wandering between the chairs between Gu Nan and Mo Shangshou, wondering what kind of medicine Gu Nan was selling in the gourd.
