Five taels of silver, an eight-year-old brother, and a stepmother who wants to kill me at every turn.
This is all the wealth I got after dressing up as the legitimate daughter of the Hou family.
Here's the good news: I was a financial analyst in a previous life.
The bad news is: there was no K-line chart in ancient times, only abacus.
It doesn't matter, information gap is wealth.
I help small businessmen find sources of goods, help farmers sell mountain goods, and help large merchants check bad debts.
Three years later, my bank opened all over the capital, and my eyes and ears were everywhere.
Stepmother wants to marry me off? I used her ledger to shut her up.
Stepsister wants to steal my spotlight? I used her dirty information to kill her.
Grandma's wallflower? I used the dividends to let her understand who is the God of Wealth in the Hou Mansion.
As for the cold-faced regent——
The first time we met, he told me to "get out."
The second time we met, he bargained with me for half an hour.
When we met for the third time, he blocked a sword for me, and even though he was bleeding profusely, he said adamantly: "I'll pay you back the interest."
My brother blocked him with a wooden sword: "You want to marry my sister? Beat me first."
He looked down at the nine-year-old child: "Okay, when you grow up, I will fight with you."
On the day the emperor granted the marriage, he handed over a "Marriage Partnership Agreement."
I added a line of fine print at the end:
"Emotional accounts do not count interest, only sincerity."
Later, my brother became a young general, and my son started walking on horseback at the age of five.
He asked me: "Is this life worth it?"
I looked at the two people practicing in the corridor and smiled:
"It's worth it. It's worth more than any investment."
