The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 740

Chapter 740: Chapter 662, The Tree Grows Branches_2

"Looking back now, a girl’s family really needs to go through more experiences. Managing stores and estates is no easy task, ensuring profit while keeping servants in check is truly a test of one’s abilities."

...

That afternoon, Yan Zhigao summoned Yan Zhiyuan to the main courtyard.

Although he had only called him, the people from the second branch all came.

Daohua and her husband Yan Wenxiu also came over, sitting by the side.

Yan Zhiyuan knew he had made a grave mistake. Upon seeing Yan Zhigao, he knelt down immediately, "Big brother, I have wronged you. If it weren’t for me, you would not have suffered this prison calamity. Please punish me!"

Yan Zhigao looked at Yan Zhiyuan sternly, without telling him to rise, and thoroughly interrogated him about all the things he had done behind the family’s back over the years.

Hearing that Yan Zhiyuan had accepted almost ten thousand taels of silver over the years, the faces of the Yan Family members changed again and again.

Yan Zhigao slammed his teacup in front of Yan Zhiyuan, biting his teeth and said, "All the silver, land deeds, and shop deeds you took over the years must be handed over to me."

Yan Zhiyuan saw his elder brother enraged and felt scared in his heart, quickly nodding, "I will hand them over, everything."

Yan Zhigao turned to Yan Wenxiu, "Did you remember everything your second uncle just said?"

Yan Wenxiu nodded.

Yan Zhigao, "Starting tomorrow, you will personally take care of the aftermath, compensate where compensation is due, and hand over silver where silver is owed. Not a single case can be omitted."

Yan Wenxiu nodded again, "Alright."

The Madam Li heard this, her brows tightly furrowed. The second branch made the mistake, and it was always the main branch that had to deal with the aftermath. Seeing her son’s weary look, her resentment towards the second branch grew even deeper.

Daohua sat on the side without speaking, her eyes downcast, seemingly deep in thought.

While Yan Zhigao was loudly scolding Yan Zhiyuan, Wang Manman entered the room, whispering a few words in Daohua’s ear.

After excusing herself to Madam Li, Daohua left the room and returned about a quarter of an hour later.

"What happened?"

As soon as Daohua came in, Madam Li couldn’t help but ask.

Daohua shook her head and looked at Yan Zhigao, "The missing military provisions have been found."

Upon hearing this, Yan Zhigao and Yan Wenxiu were both overjoyed.

Yan Zhiyuan also looked pleased, "Big brother, now that our family hasn’t suffered any losses, let’s release Meiniang. She too was threatened by the Jiang Family. And Wen’an is still young; he can’t be without his mother."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room was stunned.

Yan Zhigao looked incredulously at his younger brother. At this point, he was still thinking about his mistress, completely oblivious to the enormity of his mistake.

"Hmph!"

Unable to hold back any longer, Daohua let out a cold laugh, "Second Uncle, what do you mean ’no losses’?"

"When the military provisions were lost, what about the Government Officials who were killed? Have you forgotten? Are their lives worthless? Have you thought about their families? Doesn’t father need to console them?"
