The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 158 Do I need your consent to make a decision?

Jiang Cheng was stunned. "Mr. Accountant?"

Isn't the boss causing trouble because he noticed problems with the account books?

"Yes, if you are willing, I will provide you with ten taels of silver per month, food and lodging."

As soon as Jiang Suining finished speaking, someone among the tenants cried out in surprise.

"Twelve?"

Ten taels of silver, including food and lodging, is simply a pie in the sky. You have to know that they work hard on the farm all year round, and after deducting the rent and daily food expenses, they may not be able to save ten taels of silver in a year.

This kid from the Jiang family is really lucky. With ten taels of silver a year, he is going to be rich.

For a moment, many people looked at Jiang Cheng with envy, but they also knew that this was not something that just anyone could do.

After all, Jiang Cheng is an educated man who can read and write and can really keep accounts. People like them can barely read, so even if such a good thing falls upon them, they would not be able to accept it.

Wang Gui originally wanted to pass the buck, but he never expected that he would end up letting Jiang Cheng be the accountant.

However, if Jiang Cheng leaves, then there will be no one to help him with the accounts?

Thinking of this, Wang Gui immediately said, "Boss, I'm afraid this won't work. Jiang Cheng's mother is in poor health, and he is the only one who can take care of the land. If he leaves, there will be no one to take care of his mother. After all, Jiang Cheng is a filial son, and he will definitely not abandon his mother."

"That's easy." Jiang Suining still looked at Jiang Cheng and said, "If you want, you can also bring your mother with you. You don't have to continue renting the land on this farm. Ten taels of silver a month should be enough for you and your son to live together. And if you need it, the Jiang family also knows a good doctor who can be asked to go and see your mother."

Jiang Suining's words immediately made others envy Jiang Cheng even more. With such good treatment and the fact that he could even pay for his mother's medical treatment, it was really God's blessing. The mother and son of the Jiang family finally had their cake and eat it too.

Wang Gui's expression was already showing an unconcealable ugliness, and he continued, "Boss, I think..."

"Manager Wang." This time Jiang Suining did not give Wang Gui a chance to finish his words, "Why, did Jiang Cheng sign a contract to sell himself to you?"

"No." Wang Gui shook his head.

"So do you think that the decisions I make still need your approval?" Jiang Suining's tone turned cold.

Wang Gui hastily denied, "I dare not, I dare not!"

"In that case, I'm asking for Jiang Cheng's opinion. He can decide for himself whether he is willing or not. Why do I need you to speak for him here?" Jiang Suining's tone revealed displeasure, and his eyes on Wang Gui were also filled with a hint of anger.

Wang Gui couldn't continue speaking, so he could only laugh twice, "Boss is right, I was just concerned about the boy from the Jiang family, so I said too much."

Seeing this, Jiang Suining retracted his gaze and asked Jiang Cheng again: "Are you willing?"

Jiang Cheng has come back to his senses from his daze.

He looked at Jiang Suining, but he didn't think it was a piece of cake like the others did. He was still a little uneasy about the account book.

However, regardless of whether Jiang Suining has any other purposes, this may not be a bad thing for him.

He had long wanted to stop helping Wang Gui cover up, but he had nowhere to go for the moment and couldn't bear to leave.

No matter what the purpose of this new owner is, the fact that she dug the well makes people feel that she is at least not a bad person.

Jiang Cheng exhaled slowly, nodded and said, "Thank you, sir. I'm willing to go."

"Okay, then pack your things and follow me back to the Imperial City today. Do you need me to ask for help?"

"Thank you, sir. No thanks. My mother and I don't have much stuff. I can pack it by myself. Please wait for a moment, sir."

As he spoke, under the envious gazes of the tenants, Jiang Cheng walked towards the room in the farmhouse.

Wang Gui looked at Jiang Cheng's leaving figure and forced a smile, "Boss, I'll go see if Jiang Cheng needs any help, and give him some advice. Tell him to work hard after he follows you, Boss, and don't be lazy."

Jiang Suining did not stop him. He looked at Wang Gui with a smile in his eyes and said, "Go ahead."

After Wang Gui left, Jiang Suining asked the tenants who had gathered together to disperse.

When the crowd dispersed in twos and threes, they still talked about Jiang Cheng's good luck. Of course, some people wanted to ask Jiang Suining if he needed other work. They wanted to recommend themselves, but they were worried that if they angered the boss, they would not only fail to get any job, but also lose the rented land. That would be troublesome.

So even though some people had some thoughts about it, they didn't dare to really step forward and ask, and finally they just went to work honestly.

After everyone had left, Xier spoke to Jiang Suining, "Miss, why did you ask me to stay and supervise?"

"Is there any problem?" Jiang Suining looked at Xier and asked.

"This..." Xi'er hesitated, and after a moment she said, "Miss, I dare not, and I feel that I will definitely not be able to do it well."

It seemed like Wang Gui didn't take her seriously at all, so her supervision would definitely be ineffective.

"Xi'er, you have been with me for a while. Biyun has been praising you, saying that you have memorized all the words I taught you, and memorized them quickly and well. Now, in most cases, you have no problem recognizing words. You have also learned a little about accounting. Although you cannot be considered proficient, the account book for digging a well is not complicated, and you will not have any big problems checking it. Why do you still feel that you can't do it well?"

"I am afraid." Xier lowered her head. "I think Wang Gui... doesn't look like someone who is easy to get along with."

Looking at Xier who lowered her head, Jiang Suining asked, "Xier, when the masked man wanted to kill me that day, were you scared when you bumped into him?"

Xier was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "I'm scared."

"Then why did you bump into it?"

"Because I don't want to see anything happen to you, young lady." Xier said without hesitation.

The lady was really good to her. When she saw that scene, she was scared but she didn't care about anything else.

"Then I also need you to stay and supervise. Even if you think Wang Gui is difficult to get along with, is he scarier than the masked man that day?"

Xier was silent for a while and shook her head. Wang Gui was certainly not as scary as the masked man, and was far from being as scary as him, but...

"Miss, what if I don't do a good job? I have never been an overseer and I am afraid of disappointing your expectations."
