If he hadn't looked at her like that and cared about whether she had suffered losses or encountered any difficulties, He Yuanling would never have wanted to say anything.

But Shen Zong didn't look like he was in trouble just now. Could it be that she had some trouble here?

The person opposite put down his account book and looked at him seriously.

Because his eyes were so serious, He Yuanling couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"It's really something."

Although she didn't think it would be useful to talk to He Yuanling, she still had someone who could discuss it.

What if the blind cat really bumps into it?

Hearing her serious statement that something was really wrong, He Yuanling also became serious and sat upright from the back of the chair.

"Come and listen."

"Look at this."

She casually handed over the account book, not wanting to distinguish it from He Yuanling too clearly. It was just an account book, and there was nothing he couldn't see.

He Yuanling was slightly stunned, raised his eyebrows, took the account and looked at the pages she opened.

"Look through the previous ones." Shen Huarou reminded him.

Then he flipped through the front page and read about ten more pages. "It's quite stable. No losses or big profits. There's no trace of falsified accounting."

He also specifically checked to see if there were any falsified accounts, thinking that Shen Cong was bullying her because she was young and careless and tampered with the accounts.

"No, please check again to see if there is a fixed expenditure every year."

While reminding him, Shen Huarou also sighed secretly. She really couldn't count on him.

"Well, clean up the weeds and trees around the forest.

What? There aren’t enough people at Zhuangzi? Do you still have to spend money to hire people to clean it up?”

He Yuanling really couldn't understand. It was just a barren mountain, and no matter how many weeds and trees grew, it wouldn't affect anything. How could it be so long ago that someone would be hired to clean it up?

“Not only the weeds and trees on the edge affect the growth of surrounding crops, but also the ferocious wild animals in the mountains and forests must be cleared away, otherwise they will come out and harm the crops.

In addition to our fields, that mountain is surrounded by three or four villages and fields. In the past, wild boars would come down from the mountains to harm crops and hurt people."

After a pause, Shen Huarou sighed again: "Except for the idle trees and weeds that provide shelter for wild animals, the mountain has no other use.

I just sometimes set traps to catch a few wild animals for a taste, but that’s all. If I don’t have any other income, I have to set up traps every year.”

"How big is the hill?"

"More than a hundred, I don't care about the specifics, it's definitely just a lot more.

Hey, what’s the use of having more?”

Shen Huarou sighed again, feeling sad.

"Very useful."

He Yuanling's eyes lit up when he heard more than a hundred acres, and he asked her again cautiously.

"Is it the mountain in the village next to us?"

Although she didn't know why she looked excited, Shen Huarou nodded truthfully.

"Well, you can see some of it from the arch bridge opposite our house."

The reason why the family gave her this village was to be close to the He family.

"Pah!" He Yuanling threw the account book away coolly and immediately smiled.

"You wait, I'll call Jingyao."

He moved so fast that Shen Huarou couldn't hold him back even if she wanted to.

All I could do was call him, "Why are you looking for Jingyao?"

"You'll know when she comes."

After finishing her words, Shen Huarou only had time to see the corners of his navy blue robe disappear through the door.

"Madam, don't worry. Maybe the third master thinks that the cousin is paying attention?"

"Yes, my cousin is very clever and pays attention. Maybe she can really come up with a solution."

Yangchun and Yulan took turns comforting each other, and Shen Huarou waited uneasily.

Anyway, the worst that can happen is that it continues to be idle as it is now.

"Put these away and make a pot of scented tea."

Meng Jingyao likes to drink scented tea with sugar, saying it is good for both watching and drinking.

Although Shen Huarou doesn't drink scented tea very much, she still has some.

After a while, He Yuanling led the people back, and people could hear him speaking before they even entered the door.

"Yes, that's it. You should explain it clearly to your cousin-in-law."

This sentence alone aroused Shen Huarou's interest.

She stood up before the two people came in, took two steps towards the door and saw them coming in side by side.

"Please Jingyao, please come and sit down and enjoy my flower tea."

"Third cousin sister-in-law still understands me, but just a cup of scented tea is not enough to assign you things."

Meng Jingyao glanced at her third cousin playfully, then raised her eyebrows and looked at the principal.

"How can I ask someone for help and just ask for a cup of tea? It's too relaxing."

Shen Huarou naturally understands the principle of human relations, and if it is really possible, she will not lose her.

"Then let's make a deal, I will want more when the time comes."

"You can just ask, and your third cousin and I will try to satisfy you, okay?"

"My cousin is still very grand, not like my third cousin who is so arrogant."

As she spoke, she turned around and wrinkled her nose at someone who was doing the job to show her dissatisfaction.

Someone pushed me rudely and said, "I haven't even finished anything yet and I'm just thinking about receiving the reward. That means your cousin-in-law is easy to talk to. If it's anyone else, who will care about you?"

There are so many words, so sit down and drink some water to moisten your throat."

Meng Jingyao hummed at him again, turned around and followed Shen Huarou to sit down at the table.

"My cousin is a kind-hearted person, and the scented tea you serve here is more exquisite and beautiful than anywhere else."

The plum blossom tea made by Magnolia was made at home last year. Shen Huarou doesn't like to drink scented tea, but she usually uses some when making cakes. Sometimes when the mood comes, she will put one or two petals in the tea soup as a decoration, just to watch. It’s also pleasing to the eye.

"Try it and take some back if you like it."

It was just a little flower, and there was nothing Shen Huarou was reluctant to part with.

Shen Huarou never cared about these things.

"Of course, thank you cousin sister-in-law."

So someone was scolded again, "Humph! You should learn more from your cousin. My cousin treats me better than you do."

"Yes, yes, your cousin-in-law is very kind.

I’ve drank the tea, got the stuff, and praised myself, now let’s get down to business.”

His daughter-in-law was praised, so what else could He Yuanling be dissatisfied with.

The cousins ​​were used to being quarrelsome among themselves, and if he wanted to argue with her, he would never stop arguing with her over the past ten years.

Humph! He didn’t even notice what his wife said and threw away her things. Why don’t you get down to business quickly?

After being warned by her cousin, Meng Jingyao also put down her tea cup and corrected her attitude.

"My cousin said it's the mountain in the next village, where we can see it? Are you sure it's empty and has no other use?"

"Yes, so I asked my cousin to give me some advice."

Shen Huarou is not a person who is dragging his feet. Since he has invited someone to come, he will explain it directly.

Meng Jingyao wasn't the type to mince words, otherwise she wouldn't always criticize Shen Huarou in front of her.

She had been prepared to be hated by Shen Huarou before, but this time she found that her cousin-in-law had changed a lot.

Especially now, after all those unpleasant frictions, she can still generously ask for help.

She can accept such a third cousin sister-in-law.

Let’s get back to thinking and let’s get down to business.

"I have an idea. Let me tell my cousin first."
