People from the outer city would not easily come to a broken place like the inner city. Moreover, at this time, the inner city only allowed people to leave and not to enter. No one else knew that such a thing had happened.
The words of the Protoss Old Ancestor boosted the confidence of the four young people. It was equivalent to directly telling them that the Saint of this world was very likely to appear from the four of them. Such a great piece of news, it's really exciting! "
At this time, the patriarchs of the major families in the outer city did not know about the four young people in the inner city. They still felt that the Saint of this world would definitely be produced from each family. If it was not the patriarch, then it would be an outstanding young man in the family. Of course, outsiders like Xiao Hei were now also a member of the family.
That was because there were already three clans that had attached themselves to him. If it was not because of the matter with Arré that stirred his interest, he might have married a fourth or fifth wife.
The patriarchs of the families were still very warm to Xiao Hei. They could not wait to stuff their own daughters and granddaughters over. Because most of the women in the families were weak in battle. In times of war, they would not be of much use. But if they could marry Xiao Hei because of this, they would be able to benefit from it.
In the Divine Realm, this kind of patriarchal preference was even more serious than in the Lower Realm. And the more wars there were, the more prominent it became. But the attitude of the City Lord's Residence towards Xiao Hei did not seem to be as warm as before.
Xiao Hei did not know the reason. Anyway, he did not care much about it. But the Silver Thunder Jiumei was sensitive enough to notice it. He was guessing whether it was because the real opportunity was coming, so the Protoss Old Ancestors were also busy preparing to snatch the opportunity to become a Saint. Or perhaps the City Lord's Residence had already found someone who had a higher chance of becoming a Saint than Xiao Hei. Otherwise, why would they become so lukewarm towards Xiao Hei? This situation was not normal.
Since the Silver Thunder Jiumei noticed it, the Silver Thunder Jiumei naturally noticed it as well. She did not love Xiao Hei that much to begin with. At this time, she was even colder towards him. But Xiao Hei was such a dull person that he was completely unaware of it. Ever since he married the second wife, Silver Thunder Jiumei had been treating him badly. Therefore, his attitude was even worse now, but it didn't feel like the difference was too big.
On this day, Secretary Zhuang took the initiative to find Xiao Hei and said, "Second Master, I have something to discuss with you."
The head of this big family was Du Feng, and Xiao Hei was respectfully called the second head. Moreover, in the heart of an elder like Zhuang Piusi, Xiao Hei could only ever be the number two, while Du Feng was the number one. Of course, Xiao Hei didn't have any objections to this form of address. He just didn't know what Zhuang Pousi, the old housekeeper, wanted to say.
Priest Zhuang was originally a ghost cultivator, so he stayed in the White Bone Banner at first. Later on, when he became a ghostly immortal, there was a period of time when he wanted to live on his own. However, he soon realized that he couldn't gain a foothold in the God Realm, so he obediently followed Du Feng. He had been doing this for many years, but fortunately, the Demon God didn't seem old.
Now that he saw the change in the attitude of the mayor's mansion, he reminded Xiao Hei to keep a low profile. Don't easily go to the mayor's mansion to ask for help, and don't take concubines. Because of the concubine issue, other families had interfered in the business here, and they had already suffered a lot of losses.
"Alright, I got it. Those old things, I won't go find them. "
Regarding the change in attitude of the mayor's mansion, Xiao Hei still didn't care.
"Don't worry about the concubine issue, it definitely won't happen again. As long as brother Arré isn't found, I definitely won't take any more concubines. "
On this matter, Xiao Hei also felt that he was in the wrong. Arré was sad about the death of his wife, so he married three wives in one go. They were all brothers, but the disparity was just too great. Now that Arré's temple had disappeared, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive, he really didn't have the face to take more concubines.
After Zhuang Piusi heard the conditions that Xiao Hei agreed to, he was a little relieved. But he was still a little hesitant and didn't leave immediately. Xiao Hei saw that he was in a difficult position, so he said to him, "If you have anything else to say, don't hesitate to say it."
With Xiao Hei's words, Zhuang Piusi dared to say, "Our treasury is already half empty, I think that the remaining half should be kept for the Du Family's Master, we can't let it go out."
As a former subordinate of Du Feng, and now the old housekeeper, Zhuang Piusi still considered the master's matters. Xiao Hei married three wives, and the three families had interfered in the business, causing the treasury to be half empty. That half belonged to Xiao Hei, and they could do whatever they wanted.
However, he had to leave the remaining half for Du Feng. He couldn't allow them to continue tormenting him. Otherwise, when Du Feng came back, this little bit of wealth would be completely empty.
"What, it's actually so serious, why didn't you say so earlier?"
When Xiao Hei heard this, his hair stood on end. What a joke. Those were all the businesses that Brother Du bought, and they actually lost half of it. When he was in a deep sleep, when Chen Tianlei and Arré were the housekeepers, he even laughed at them when they suffered losses. Now that it was his turn to manage this family, he didn't expect that the losses would be even more severe.
Zhuang Piusi muttered in his heart, "You didn't listen even if I said it earlier." In fact, he had already hinted several times, but Xiao Hei didn't listen. Now that the storehouse was half empty, he was scared out of his wits.
"Manage, as the old housekeeper, you must manage. Don't worry about my elder brothers-in-law, don't let them waste money. "
Xiao Hei also knew that his elder brothers-in-law and younger brothers-in-law were especially good at spending money, and his wife was also constantly trying to get money from his family. The real reason for the deficit was because most of the shops had arranged for relatives, and relatives were the hardest to manage, which led to a lot of problems.
Since it had come to this, Zhuang Piusi simply lowered his face and said the ugly words, "I can't manage your relatives, unless you fire them."
He was right, as long as Xiao Hei's relatives were still in the shop, they wouldn't listen to Zhuang Piusi. This was because Zhuang Piusi's status was not high, and his Cultivation level was not high. Those people were all members of the Primordial God Race, each and every one of them was proud and arrogant, how could they listen to a Demon God.
If he wanted to restore management and profits, he had to drive them out of each shop. Zhuang Piusi had no way to drive them out, and only Xiao Hei could do it himself. So today, he simply brought up this idea. Either Xiao Hei would drive his relatives out, or he would close the shop from today onwards and seal up the remaining half of the inventory, no one would be allowed to touch it until Du Feng returned.
"Drive, drive them all out, I'll drive them out, these vermin are too hateful."
Only now did Xiao Hei realize the seriousness of the problem, and he decided to do it himself.
