"Our shop can be opened because your sister brought the capital. The shop also has your sister's shares. It will wait until it stabilizes in Huaicheng. If you buy a house, our children can't always be like a mud monkey in the countryside. . When the time comes, look at a house or buy another business shop, and put it in your sister's name." Old Mrs. Bai said to Tian Maimiao.
Tian Maimiao smiled and nodded: "San Zhuang and I are thinking about these."
"The money at home can also be used to buy a house for my sister."
"I should buy a house for my sister-in-law in Huaicheng."
Xie Chuntao and Eugene Gui said in unison.
Old Mrs. Bai glanced at Eugene Gui lightly. She was not confident that the second daughter-in-law could change her gender, but it was good that Eugene Gui knew who was most important in the family.
And because of Xia Qinghe's incident, the Lao Bai family was not held back, and they finally knew that the gun was on the outside.
Mrs. Bai was so happy that she took the silver from Xie Chuntao, took out two pieces of silver, and handed one to Xie Chuntao and the other to Eugene Gui.
"It goes without saying that Mai Miao has the final say. She makes the decisions about the shop and the money. You two are at home. From now on, I will give you two taels of pocket money every month. You can save it or buy things. It's up to you."
Xie Chuntao and Eugene Gui were overjoyed. Let alone in Shenshu Village, even among the wealthy families in Yangfeng County, there were very few families who gave their daughter-in-law two taels of silver a month.
"Thank you," Xie Chuntao said generously after accepting the money, already planning to use the money to privately subsidize his youngest son who was studying in Huaicheng.
"Thank you, milk." Eugene Gui had a smile on his face, thinking about going to town to buy jewelry and snacks.
Old Mrs. Bai continued to point out: "As the daughter-in-law of the Bai family, as long as I live a good life and take good care of your sister-in-law, I will not treat you badly."
Eugene Gui was the most positive: "I will definitely treat my sister-in-law well in the future."
Mrs. Zhen stared at her, and Eugene Gui kept silent, thinking that before he said he was nice to his sister-in-law, he was just talking about it, but this time he ruthlessly took out a tael of silver to buy some gadgets for his sister-in-law to win over her.
"Err... Auntie"
Xiaolang woke up from his sleep in Eugene Gui's arms and saw little Fuyuan sitting opposite, reaching out to his little aunt.
Xiao Fuyuan opened his arms towards him, and Xiao Lang struggled and staggered to crawl next to Xiao Fuyuan.
Xiao Fuyuan helped him sit upright next to him.
"Here, eat." Xiao Fuyuan took out the honey fruit bought by the third sister-in-law and stuffed it to Xiao Lang.
Xiaolang ate sweetly and smiled broadly at Xiaofuyuan.
"Xiao Lang, grandma asked you, is the fruit my aunt gave you delicious?" Mrs. Bai smiled kindly.
Xiao Lang made babbling noises and nodded: "Okay."
"Then is your little aunt nice to you?"
Xiaolang smiled at Xiaofuyuan and said, "Okay."
Xiao Fuyuan thought to herself that grandma had started a new round of brainwashing, not even sparing the children.
"Then do you want to love my little aunt in the future? Be kind to my little aunt."
Xiao Lang rolled his big eyes, stuffed the honey fruit into Xiao Fuyuan's hand and nodded.
Mrs. Bai smiled happily.
Eugene Gui felt that Xiaolang's performance was trying to gain face for him, and said with a proud look on his face: "I nag in his ears every day that he should be good to his little aunt, that he should study hard when he grows up, and support his aunt."
Xiao Fuyuan: "..."
Xiao Fuyuan continued to tease Xiao Lang.
Listen to the adults talking.
"Grandma, last time Mrs. Liu came to our shop and mentioned the Shen family, saying that their family was found guilty of corruption in the palace's purchases and was deprived of their imperial merchant status." Tian Maimiao said.
Xie Chuntao clapped his hands and said happily: "You deserve it!"
"Mrs. Liu also mentioned Magistrate Guo, saying that in addition to embezzlement, extorting bribes, and conniving his servants to seize land, he was originally exiled. But later on, when he was tried again, it was found that he was also involved in some serious events. He was just guilty of beheading, and he had already been punished a few days ago. Ti was sent to Beijing to await trial. His wife was forgiven, but her life was taken away, and two acres of land were returned to her so that she could take her son back to her hometown."
Tian Maimiao sighed, the then majestic magistrate and his whole family were instantly like fallen leaves in the wind.
"Their family deserves it! Let me tell you, the prefect's wife shouldn't be forgiven for taking advantage of her. She should be sold to the hook." Eugene Gui gritted his teeth and said, "Who asked her to bully my sister-in-law."
As soon as she said these words, Zhen's face changed, and Qiuniang, who had just stepped into the room with tea in hand, also trembled.
"Perhaps the person who judged the case was bribed by Mrs. Guo and allowed her to go home. She deserves it. She should go in..."
Eugene Gui continued to talk to himself, but felt that the room was particularly quiet, and the look in Mrs. Bai's eyes was even more frightening, so Eugene Gui quickly stopped.
"Can you please stop slapping your mouth like the sole of a worn-out shoe and grinning at everything you say? Who decided the case? The court decided it. If your words get out, people will even doubt your sister's title of village head. Your sister is a village head granted by the imperial court."
Old Mrs. Bai scolded Eugene Gui coldly.
"What's wrong with the fence? We didn't let the female relatives of prisoners enter such a dirty place." Mrs. Zhen calmed down and said something cool to the third daughter-in-law.
Eugene Gui knew that he had said the wrong thing again, and he wanted to bite off his tongue.
The sister-in-law who was at the door just now reminded herself not to cause trouble, because she always provoked the sensitive nerves of her elders.
This offended my mother-in-law.
So I couldn't help but look at Xiao Fuyuan.
Xiao Fuyuan shook his head gently. This second sister-in-law was really not reliable enough to survive even half a day.
"By the way, mother, your embroidery work is good. Last time you taught Sister Qiu's embroidery work, many people came to ask about it when San Zhuang got it to Huaicheng." Tian Maimiao took the tea from Qiu Niang's hand and started talking. Last time Bai Sanzhuang went to Huaicheng to use the embroiderer's embroidery skills to display the newly arrived silks and satins.
From those wealthy families, many people came to ask, from the master to the maids and mothers-in-law.
"I think so. Since the embroidery technique that my mother gave to Sister Qiu is so good, it would be a pity to keep it only in our house. How about we also open an embroidery workshop in Huaicheng, and this embroidery workshop will be managed by Sister Qiu. My sister is going to teach the embroiderer how to embroider screens, portraits, flowers..." Tian Maimiao looked at Qiuniang, she always felt that Qiuniang was so good at embroidery, it would be a pity to stay in Shenshu Village.
In addition, Qiuniang has taken care of the mask issue, so she has the potential to do business.
When she heard about going to Huaicheng, Qiuniang shook her head.
"You don't have to go to Huaicheng...there are many embroiderers in our village." Xiao Fuyuan suddenly said crisply.
Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Zhen nodded, but they didn't expect this.
The daughters-in-law and aunties in Shenshu Village are good at embroidery. They usually embroider some handkerchiefs and insoles and sell them in the town to earn some pocket money. Although she is not as good as Qiuniang's craftsmanship, it may not be impossible if she just teaches and follows the example.
Open an embroidery workshop in the village?
Tian Maimiao's eyes lit up.
"Grandma, mother, or sister are so considerate. Why don't we adults think of it and choose the distance instead of the near?" Tian Maimiao praised Xiao Fuyuan and continued, "We have land in the village. Let's build one." The embroidery workshop is simple.”
"The village chief will definitely be willing to grant land. Which family in the village doesn't want to have multiple prospects." Zhen nodded slowly.
So the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law began to discuss the embroidery workshop.
