Chapter 63 Cousin, Your Cousin Will Help You Manage the Family Business 2
The original owner's food, clothing and daily necessities gradually decreased. The aunt said it was because the cousin had just taken over the business and lacked experience, so the profits had not been good recently. Therefore, the manor also needed to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.
The original owner felt that her aunt's words made sense, and she also understood her cousin's difficulties, and it wouldn't have a big impact on her.
I used to buy so many clothes and jewelry that I couldn't wear them all, but now I have enough to wear and use.
Seeing that the original owner of this body did not cause any trouble, the aunt then began to target the servants in the mansion.
They sold off many of the servants in the mansion, saying that there was no need to keep so many people in the mansion.
They even used various methods to drive out the elderly people in the mansion one by one.
Gradually, everyone in the mansion came under the control of the aunt.
The original owner of this body was cutting back on food and clothing to embroider in her own courtyard, while her cousin was buying new clothes and beautiful jewelry from various shops.
My cousin encountered a girl disguised as a man while he was away on business.
The two business rivals transformed into close friends who deeply admired each other.
Later, the cousin discovered that his best friend was actually a woman.
My cousin confessed his feelings to his best friend.
This is the kind of person he wants to spend his life with—someone who shares his interests and can travel the world with him.
My best friend also has feelings for my cousin.
He is decisive and has great courage in business.
Moreover, the reason why the close friends disguised themselves as men to do business was because their father was not in good health and their younger brother was not yet able to manage the household, so they took on the responsibility themselves.
Unlike other men, my cousin didn't say that women should stay in their boudoirs and deal with things in the backyard.
He admired her heroic spirit and envisioned a future where they could travel together, side by side.
My cousin said he would send someone to propose marriage when he got back.
Close friends also waited with joy.
But when my cousin got home, he discovered that there was another original body in the house.
My cousin previously thought that marrying the original owner of this body wouldn't be bad, since he could control such a large family business as the Jiang family.
However, my cousin now prefers my best friend and looks down on the original owner of this body, a sheltered young lady. He finds her boring and weak, unlike my best friend, who, even as a woman, can hold up the sky.
My cousin told my aunt that he had found someone he liked and wanted to marry someone else, not the original owner of this body.
However, they could not possibly give up the Jiang family's vast fortune; they had already come to regard the Jiang family as their own.
My uncle and aunt are now only superficially united, and their hearts are all on Aunt Zhao and her illegitimate son.
I won't care about my aunt and uncle anymore.
They can only rely on themselves.
After discussing it, the two decided to make the original owner of the body a concubine.
The aunt took the original owner and her cousin out to offer incense, and sent people disguised as bandits to kidnap the original owner.
The original owner was locked in a dark room for three days.
Three days later, the original owner of the body was rescued.
However, the original owner's reputation was also ruined.
The aunt said earnestly that the original owner was the only bloodline left by her sister, and she could not watch her die.
But we can't let my cousin be embarrassed.
Her cousin took her as a concubine, and she continued to live in his courtyard.
Her cousin also showed up and said he didn't mind her appearance.
I believe she is innocent.
The original owner of this body was deeply moved by her aunt and cousin's consideration for her, and besides, as an orphan, she didn't know what else she could do. She agreed.
The original owner's situation has been resolved.
My cousin immediately went to propose to his best friend.
The two exchanged formal letters and six betrothal gifts, thus sealing their lifelong bond.
A close friend was somewhat surprised to discover that his cousin had a concubine, as his cousin had never mentioned these things before.
However, since the original owner had already entered the sect long ago, her close friend couldn't say much.
She didn't care about matters in the inner quarters; her mind was focused on her business ventures outside.
My cousin and my best friend were very much in love. My cousin was afraid that my best friend would be sad, so he asked the original owner of this body to stay in his own yard and not go out much.
My cousin and his best friend would often go out together to run a business.
Both of them were very talented, and their business grew bigger and bigger.
My uncle arranged a marriage for my cousin.
My aunt had always lived with the Jiang family, but she never expected that my uncle would suddenly interfere in his daughter's marriage.
My aunt already had someone she liked. But my uncle was chosen by his daughter without her even saying a word.
My aunt investigated and found that my uncle had actually arranged for my cousin to become his second wife.
That was my uncle's boss. He was a middle-aged man who lost his wife and had a son and a three-year-old daughter.
He was thinking of marrying another woman to take care of the children.
When the uncle found out, he sent his own daughter up there.
My cousin was naturally unwilling to be married off to an older man by her uncle, whose eldest son was even older than her.
The aunt came up with a plan for her cousin: to have the original owner of the body marry in place of her cousin.
The original owner of this body was captivated and sent to a bridal sedan chair.
Fearing that the original owner might say something inappropriate, they directly poisoned the original owner, rendering them mute.
When the original owner woke up again, she found herself in an old man's bed.
The older man was very satisfied, not expecting the original owner of this body to be so young and beautiful.
The original owner kept crying, which displeased the old man.
He then whipped the original body.
The older man had a rather unusual hobby, and the people in his backyard were all driven to their wits' end by it.
The older man was originally willing to give his wife some dignity, after all, he had quite a few young women in his backyard for his entertainment.
But the original owner kept crying, which displeased him, so he took out a whip.
The original owner of this body was beaten to the point of near death and then left in the room.
After that night, the old man never came to the original owner's place again.
He knew he had smoked too much and that it would take a month for the scars to disappear.
During this time, he would draw people from the backyard one by one.
He loved seeing the bloody welts on their fair skin from being whipped.
The original owner had stayed here for a few days and knew where she was. She knew that she had come here to marry in place of her cousin and that her aunt had lied to her.
The original owner of this body was crying when a man entered.
This is her son in name only.
But when the son saw his stepmother, so young and beautiful, and tears streamed down his face, he fell in love with her.
My stepmother is so young and beautiful, it's such a waste to give her to my father.
His father only knows how to whip people; he will cherish his stepmother.
The son closed the door and approached the original body step by step.
The son discovered that the original owner of this body was actually mute, and he liked it even more.
The original owner died under the dual torment of the old man and her son.
After the original owner died, the old man whipped the original owner's corpse until it was a bloody mess.
The son then gouged out the original owner's eyes.
He loves collecting all sorts of beautiful eyeballs.
After my cousin and his wife got married, my aunt and uncle divorced.
The daughter-in-law doesn't manage the household, but she's just as capable as her son, earning a lot of money. The aunt is overjoyed, touching the money every day at home.
Later, after her daughter-in-law gave birth, the aunt was able to enjoy the company of her grandchildren.
My cousin and his wife traveled all over China, expanding their business far and wide, eventually becoming the wealthiest merchants in the country.
My cousin married the man she loved. Although her family wasn't well-off, she was the one who made the decisions at home.
Because her cousin was good at making money, and her cousin had a generous dowry, she took charge of the household as soon as she got married. Her parents-in-law respected her and never gave her a hard time.
