Chapter 274 This person is not suitable
When old Mrs. Kang saw Su Qingwan came in directly without being informed, she felt even more suffocated.
"Who let you in?" she asked dissatisfiedly.
"There was no one guarding the outer room, so I came in. I thought Grandma Kang had fallen down, so I hurried in to check, but I didn't expect that it was just a broken plate."
"Come here and clean up the things on the floor." Su Qingwan casually pointed at a woman.
The old woman looked at the old lady timidly, but she couldn't tell what the old lady's sullen face meant.
Fortunately, Madam Xu signaled to her, and the old woman quickly cleaned up the floor.
"Mom, didn't you say you still had to go to the accounting office? Go and get busy. Grandfather has given you the power of housekeeper. You can't hide in Rong'an Hall and be lazy!" Su Qingwan smiled at Jiang.
Old Mrs. Kang was furious when he heard this.
Su Qingwan wasn't saying this to Jiang at all, she was clearly saying it to her.
She reminded herself that the housekeeper position of Jiang's was given by the old marquis and she could not interfere.
Su Qingwan pretended not to notice the ugly expression on Old Kang's face and continued to smile at her, "Grandma Kang, my mother is busy now. I'll stay here and chat with you."
Jiang stood up and bowed to old Kang, "Madam, I have to go and get busy first. I will come and accompany you when I have time."
"Jiang, think carefully about how to arrange for Huang Daqiang when you go back." Old Mrs. Kang warned her with a veiled threat.
"What is this person assigned to do?"
Without waiting for Jiang's answer, Su Qingwan asked first.
"The old lady thinks he is suitable to take over Chen Geng's previous position as steward."
Upon hearing this, Su Qingwan realized that Old Kang was unwilling to see Chen Geng deposed, and wanted to put one of his own in position to take advantage of this piece of fat meat.
Then he smiled lightly and said to Jiang:
"Mother, since Grandmother Kang said that, it must make sense. After all, we have just returned to the Marquis' Mansion and don't know much about the people and things in the Mansion."
"Grandma Kang thinks this person is suitable, so why not bring him over and ask him in person? If he is really a talent, then mother will follow Grandma Kang's suggestion. After all, it is not necessary to avoid relatives when selecting talents."
Seeing that Su Qingwan looked calm, Jiang thought that she had an idea, so she nodded in agreement.
"Alright!"
Old Kang didn't expect Su Qingwan to suggest calling someone over.
But it’s better this way. Huang Daqiang came over and took over Chen Geng’s affairs. From now on, those people will know that in the Marquis’ Mansion, the person they should serve most wholeheartedly is themselves.
She asked someone to call Huang Daqiang over, and then after thinking about it, she asked someone to call Liu Wu as well.
After a while, a fat man with a mustache arrived at Rong'an Hall.
"I, Huang Daqiang, greet the old lady, the third lady and the fourth lady." After Huang Daqiang entered the room, he knelt down and kowtowed.
Liu Wu was an elderly man and was not as fast, so he fell behind and greeted the masters in the house.
Old Kang glanced at him. She had never realized before that Liu Wu was an ambitious man. He quietly established contact with Jiang.
Liu Wu was worried when he saw this. Chen Geng was a hot potato, but the Third Madam directly asked him to take responsibility, so he couldn't just shirk the responsibility!
"Huang Daqiang, what do you do in the Marquis' Mansion?" Jiang asked, but glanced at Su Qingwan.
The kid called Huang Daqiang over, and then what?
"Madam, I am responsible for purchasing pens, ink, paper, and inkstones for the Marquis' Mansion." Huang Daqiang replied hurriedly.
Jiang frowned. How could this person be in charge of house repairs? He probably knew nothing about it.
"Grandma Kang, this person is obviously not suitable. We can't let him use paper to cover the house of the Marquis' Mansion. That would be too unlucky." Su Qingwan said without hesitation.
Old Kang was so angry that his whole body was shaking.
This outspoken bastard, is the paper house meant for living people?
Who is she cursing to death?
"Shut up! Huang Daqiang can't repair a house, but he can always do shopping. What's wrong with that?" Old Kang just wanted his own people to occupy that position. At worst, he could replace the person when he found the right one.
"Madam, I'm afraid he can't even recognize all the wood and other materials. I can't use him." Jiang's refusal was clear this time.
"Madam Third, I know them all. Please don't look down on me." Huang Daqiang looked confident.
The old lady wanted me to take over Chen Geng's position, which was a good thing. There were a lot of benefits and the money could be made.
"You have confirmed everything, but why did you sell the Huanghuali pen holder in my grandfather's study so cheaply, for only ten taels of silver? Don't you know that it is worth at least a hundred taels of silver?"
Su Qingwan's voice was light, but it made Huang Daqiang break out in a cold sweat.
He did this secretly, how did the fourth lady know about it?
Old Mrs. Kang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came to her senses. However, she didn't believe that Huang Daqiang really stole things from the Marquis' Mansion and sold them at a low price. Even if he did it, she had to expose the matter so that it would not affect her arrangements for him.
Su Qingwan saw that Old Kang had no reaction and thought that she wanted to save Huang Daqiang, but...
"Words are not enough, so let's have someone look in grandfather's study to see if they can find the pen holder."
When Huang Daqiang heard this, his face turned pale.
The old marquis never cared about these things, so he didn't think of putting a fake one in there. Now he sent people to look for it, but where could he find it?
Thinking about the old lady's usual methods, Huang Daqiang felt that he was doomed, and quickly knelt down, begging for mercy in a trembling voice:
"Please calm down, old lady. I was just possessed by a ghost for a moment and did not do this on purpose. Please forgive me, old lady."
Huang Daqiang banged his head on the ground, trying to get Old Kang to let him go, but he didn't know that his actions almost made Old Kang so angry that he vomited blood.
She stared at Huang Daqiang viciously.
You stupid ass dog!
If you hadn't said anything, I could have spared you. But now you were frightened by Su Qingwan and you admitted it immediately. Even if I wanted to keep you, I couldn't.
"Someone, come and drag Huang Daqiang away, so as not to pollute Grandma Kang's eyes." Su Qingwan shouted.
Two people from Qinglin Village immediately rushed in and dragged Huang Daqiang away.
Old Mrs. Kang covered her chest with her hands. She was angry again and felt very dizzy.
The mother and daughter of the third room must have been prepared in advance, so after dealing with Chen Geng, they dragged Huang Daqiang out of Rong'an Hall.
"Grandmother Kang, don't be angry. Huang Daqiang probably did this on purpose because he saw that you are old and have little energy. From now on, my mother will be in charge of the backyard, and she will definitely not let anyone steal things from the mansion and sell them."
Su Qingwan said comfortingly, her tone was very clever.
Old Kang was breathing heavily and pointing at the door tremblingly.
"Get out, all of you, get out."
That won't work!
Su Qingwan smiled more sincerely, "Mom, go and get busy! Grandma Kang is mad at Huang Daqiang, you must teach him a lesson to vent her anger."
