Episode 17: Decided to Scatter the Family Wealth

Liu Yuru’s current knowledge and vision are far better than Jiang Rou’s. For the future, Jiang Rou has to think about it. Although the people I found today were talking nonsense and complaining, they didn’t complain about the government office and Jiedushi. From this, it can be seen that the government office and Jiedushi in Youzhou have done a good job.

Jiang Rou used to do business in Yuzhou, and she always took one step at a time to see ten steps, but now in Youzhou, every step is a dilemma, and she doesn’t even know where to go next. Gu Jiusi comforted her mother, that Yuzhou and Youzhou are different after all. Gu Jiusi proposed whether to set up a tomb for Gu Langhua, but Jiang Rou objected. As long as she does not see Gu Langhua’s body for a day, she will not believe that he is dead.

Jiang Rou made a decision to let Liu Yuru be the head of the house. From now on, Liu Yuru will make decisions about the big and small matters of the Gu family business. Liu Yuru still hesitated, but Jiang Rou made her accept the arrangement with a few words. Gu Jiusi couldn’t figure out why Wang Shanquan wanted to kill the Gu family. If it’s just because of jealousy, it doesn’t make sense at all.

After all, Wang Shanquan is just a short-sighted, greedy, and stupid villain. Liu Yuru, therefore, remembered that Luo Zishang, it is very likely that he planned all this behind Wang Shanquan’s back. Luo Zishang crawled out of the Shura field, so naturally, he has no compassion for others, but the only variable is Liu Yuru, otherwise Luo Zishang would already be a monster now.

When Wang Shanquan learned that Gu Jiusi had arrived in Wangdu, he didn’t want to pay any attention to it, but Luo Zishang said that the weeds were not finished, and the spring breeze blew again.

Wang Shanquan was very angry when he didn’t get all the property of the Gu family and stopped listening to Luo Zishang. What he did was in line with Luo Zishang’s wishes. After the rebellion was put down, many people in Mizhou must have had a lot of resentment towards the evil Wang Shanquan. Now that Wang Shanquan treats him like this, it just makes everyone understand that Luo Zishang is not a person who is in the same boat as Wang Shanquan, so it will be easy to get Yuzhou into his pocket at that time.

Liu Yuru had something to say to Gu Jiusi, and it happened that Gu Jiusi also had something to say, and the two of them said it together, unexpectedly they had a good understanding, they both wanted to donate the Gu family’s wealth.

Gu Jiusi summoned all the shopkeepers, everyone heard that the Gu family wanted to donate all their wealth, and everyone opposed it. Gu Jiusi settled an account with them clearly, making everyone realize the significance of donating family wealth.

Later, except shopkeeper, He strongly opposed it, and everyone else agreed. In order to thank the shopkeepers for their contributions to the Gu family, under the arrangement of Gu Jiusi and Liu Yuru, they all received the money to set up their own businesses in the future. Shopkeeper, He tried his best to oppose it from the beginning to the end. He didn’t want the money, and he said that as long as he was still there, the Gu family business would still be there. His behavior made Liu Yuru doubt her decision. Gu Jiusi comforted and enlightened her, saying that it was necessary to scrape the bone to cure the poison.

After one night, the shopkeeper finally figured it out. He remembered the family motto of the Gu family firm, “Be rich in kindness and virtue, and make money to help the world”, and he understood that Gu Jiusi and Liu Yuru’s decision was right. Under the cover of the nest, there are still eggs, and donating all of the Gu family’s property to the Youzhou Jiedushi is not only for self-protection but also for the livelihood of the people of Youzhou.

At first, it was Shopkeeper He who opposed it most fiercely, but now he is the one who understands their intentions best. As he was about to leave, Mr. Nie, the accountant, was very reluctant to part with the calculations. Jiang Rou called Liu Yuru over, intending to enlighten her. Hearing Jiang Rou talk about her previous business history, Liu Yuru was very emotional. Jiang Rou didn’t want to say goodbye to those old shopkeepers, but all the shopkeepers came to her to say goodbye.
