All Hail Cousin Brother

Chapter 387 - 387 Vicious People



387 Vicious People

Yu Youyao thought of an excuse. “There are too many things piled up in my private vault. There are many things that I don’t need, and it’s not good to pile them in the storeroom. I’ll take advantage of the time when I’m free to clean them up and sell them in the shop. True money is more useful.”

“In addition, my mother’s dowry shop has been in my hands for a period of time. Now that I’ve completely taken charge of the people under me, it’s time to reorganize it and establish my prestige. If I don’t manage this good business well, wouldn’t I be putting the cart before the horse?”

When Old Madam Yu heard this, she smiled. “Look at how smart you are. You can see better than others. It’s good that you think that way. Although women follow their fathers at home and their husbands when they get married, that’s all superficial. Only when you have confidence can you stand tall.”

“What’s confidence? It’s your own upbringing, knowledge, ability, and the businesses under your name. The former determines your talent and character and can gain the respect of others, while the latter determines your value, your status, and how much respect you can gain from others.”

“So, you have to remember that no matter what, you have to take care of your own descendants first. Only then can you convince the masses and others. Only then can everything go your way.”

Even if she was going to get married, she had to manage her dowry first so that no one would dare to underestimate her.

These words rolled on the tip of Old Madam Yu’s tongue and were swallowed back into her throat. After all, Yao Yao was still young, so it wasn’t appropriate for her to listen to this. There were some things that couldn’t be said too quickly. She could just teach her slowly in the future.

Yu Youyao nodded. “I’ll remember Grandmother’s words.”

Old Madam Yu pulled her little body into her arms and was in extreme pain. “I was originally worried that you wouldn’t be able to manage all the businesses under your mother’s name. Now, it seems that Grandmother has underestimated you. I’ve bought some businesses for you one after another all these years and now, I will leave them to you to manage.”

She had two businesses under her name.

One was the Yu Residence’s public and middle-class assets. Previously, she had handed over a portion to Madam Yang to manage, while the other portion was managed by her.

After Yao Yao was in charge, she did not want her granddaughter to be too tired and manage it herself.

The other was a private property under her own name. It had been in operations for many years and was not small.

She had divided this estate into four parts. When they split up, Second Brother had received one part. Eldest Son had another part. She had the remaining two parts, and one was the main area of the estate. She had kept one part for Yao Yao.

Yu Youyao was stunned for a moment and was about to refuse.

However, Old Madam Yu said, “There’s not much. It’s also a token of Grandmother’s sincerity. I’m giving it to you early, so that I won’t have to worry. In the future, once I hand it to you, it’ll be easier for me.”

Nanny Liu couldn’t help but think!

There weren’t many, but all the best businesses were under Old Madam’s name. They were all rice shops, gold shops, and manors filled with good farmland. Their annual achievements were not small.

Old Madam was biased.

However, no one in the residence dared to say anything else. Old Madam could give whatever she wanted to anyone. Back then, when they split up, the second branch had already divided it clearly, so they naturally did not have the right to ask about this anymore. Eldest Master did not care about common matters and did not lack money, so he naturally would not fight with his daughter for these things.

In the past, Eldest Madam Yang had wanted to compete without Eldest Master’s support, she would not have the face to compete as a second wife.

An elder’s gift couldn’t be rejected. Yu Youyao threw herself into her grandmother’s arms and wheedled, “Thank you, Grandmother.”

Old Madam Yu hugged her and was also happy. “You’re right. In this world, nothing can compare to real money.”

In the afternoon, Nanny Liu sent over the list of assets and accounts.

Yu Youyao’s forehead twitched, and she was stunned. “What happened to not having many businesses? Does Grandmother have some misunderstanding about not having many businesses?”

Nanny Liu couldn’t help but laugh. “Probably compared to the dowry under Eldest Madam Xie’s name?”

In the past, Old Madam was also the legitimate daughter of a wealthy family. When she got married, she had more than a hundred types of dowry. Now, she had given almost everything under her name to Eldest Miss, and every item was the best.

Yu Youyao slapped her forehead and looked like she was about to collapse.

Looking at the large box of ledgers, she felt that her comfortable days of eating, drinking, and playing were about to be gone.

But who could she blame?

She was the one who wanted to earn money. She had done it all to herself.

Thinking that she could earn a lot of money from so many industries, she forced herself to perk up and began to count them.

Nanny Liu helped. “Old Madam said that these businesses have long been under Eldest Miss’s name and have been clearly separated from the businesses in the residence. They’ve all been stored in the government office. Eldest Miss can manage them herself, so there’s no need to worry about anything else.”

In other words, she did not have to worry about being entangled with the Yu Residence’s businesses.

No one in the Yu Residence or the Yu Clan could snatch these things away.

Yu Youyao was very touched. Her grandmother was worried that in the future, if she passed away, someone from the Yu family would use the excuse of plotting to annex the businesses under her name. She was worried that she wouldn’t be able to protect them, and she was even more worried that she would suffer. Therefore, she had long started to plan to completely separate these businesses from the Yu Residence, saving all her worries in the future.

She began to understand why she had ended up like this in the nightmare.

She had a grandmother who was too scheming. She had paved the way for her, schemed for her marriage, and plotted for her future so that her granddaughter could live a peaceful life.

She had schemed for her granddaughter and taught her rules, management, and logic.

However, she had missed out on the sinister nature of the human heart.

Even so, such strong love still touched Yu Youyao.

With so much work, it was soon the end of the month. Yu Youyao finally sorted out the businesses under her name.

The stewards handed over the results of their operations during this period of time. Yu Youyao looked at the profits of the various manors. They had all increased to varying degrees. Of course, there were also losses, but overall, the results were not bad.

In addition, it was worth mentioning that during this period of time, Mr. Xian Yun had used the excuse of coming to the Yu Residence to eat and drink three times. He had also contributed calligraphy, a painting, and a set of notes for Heavenly Works.

This was all money!

After everything at the manor was over, Yu Youyao wondered if she should make money since she had a lot of money under her name.

However, she had a lot of industries under her name, and it was not appropriate to expand her business in a short period of time. Therefore, running a business became a tricky problem.

After careful consideration, Yu Youyao called Zhou Yonghe over to discuss.

When Zhou Yonghe heard her words, he was shocked. “You want to start an escort business and not just one?”

Zhou Yonghe felt that she was idealistic. Not only did an escort have to be skilled in martial arts, but he also had to know how to speak the language of the martial world so that he could interact with the people from the Green Forest trade route.

When carrying out the escort business, she had to interact with the good and bad sides.
