Chapter 169 It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish

Ye drove the ox cart into the yard and was about to take the things off the cart when she saw Shen Yueyao.

Ye's eyes lit up and she said excitedly, "Sister, you're back."

"Oh, I didn't even know you were back. Luckily you came back at night."

Ye Shi hadn’t seen Shen Yueyao since the last time she saw her.

But the store's business is booming, all thanks to Shen Yueyao.

If I can earn money, I can make life better for my family.

The whole family can have enough food to eat.

Ye was extremely grateful to Shen Yueyao.

Seeing Shen Yueyao coming back, Ye was surprised.

When Xuanxuan saw Shen Yueyao, he also said happily: "Aunt."

Xuanxuan still remembers that his aunt gave him delicious food, took him out to play, and protected him.

As soon as Shen Yueyao saw Xuanxuan, she picked him up.

"Auntie brought you a toy."

Dabao and Erbao’s eyes sparkled when they saw children younger than themselves.

When they came, their mother told them that their third uncle had a younger brother who was one year younger than them.

You can play together.

Ye moved the things down, but before she had moved everything, she saw that Dabao and Erbao were both amazed.

My sister-in-law’s son is so handsome.

At this time, Cui took out the fried chive dumplings from the pot and no longer had to watch the pot.

She also came out, touched Xuanxuan's hair, and looked at the many things taken off the ox cart. Cui asked, "Why did you take so many things?"

Ye said, "My brother and sister-in-law gave them to me. I told them I didn't want them, but they insisted on putting them in the car. They said they were fresh vegetables grown at home and it was perfect for us to eat. They also asked me to bring some back for my sister as well."

Cui sighed, "Your brother and sister-in-law's family is not easy either. Don't bring so many things next time."

"They can sell these vegetables in town for quite a bit of money."

Cui thought Ye and her brother and sister-in-law were all very nice.

They don't care about each other.

Ye smiled and said, "Mom, my brother and sister-in-law both thanked me for the brown sugar and vermicelli pork ribs you asked me to bring. My sister-in-law is pregnant, so the brown sugar came in handy."

Cui's eyes lit up with joy as she said, "This is great news. If I had known earlier, I would have brought more brown sugar. Oh, and we have a hen at home. You can give it to your brother and sister-in-law later. They can drink chicken soup to nourish their bodies. I also heard that red beans and red dates are good, so I should buy some..."

Cui thought about what she needed, so she went back to buy it and asked Ye to send it over.

Ye was touched and said, "Mother, my sister-in-law also raises hens at home, which are just right for nourishing the body."

"These are cucumbers, these are beans and green peppers, and these are corn. My brother and sister-in-law were worried that we didn't have enough corn, so they asked me to bring some back to make corn vermicelli."

Cui felt distressed when she saw this and said, "Your brother and sister-in-law are both good people. It's just that they gave us so much food, and there's not enough for them to eat."

"Don't worry, Mom. They haven't finished the vermicelli noodles and rice we sent them last time. My brother and sister-in-law are light eaters..."

Shen Yueyao watched this scene from the side and felt warm in her heart.

Sometimes family love is like this, it all depends on the intention.

Cui asked, "Your sister-in-law is pregnant. Does that mean she won't be able to help out in the store?"

"Your sister just said that it's better to hire your own family than to hire someone else, as they can help you out."

Upon hearing these words, Ye looked at Shen Yueyao with moved eyes.

"In fact, the villagers are not that pampered. My sister-in-law has been gone for three months. Now she has nothing to do. She works in the fields on weekdays to earn some money."

"My sister-in-law is a strong-willed person. She wants to earn money by working hard with her own hands. I've sent them so many things that they feel bad. My sister-in-law is also afraid of causing trouble for me..."

Shen Yueyao said: "Third sister-in-law, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish..."

"I also heard from my mother that the store is very busy right now. I really don't trust others to do this. It's better to use our own family."

"Besides, the store is doing a booming business now, and it's well-known. We can definitely open another branch. When the time comes, you can actually let your younger brothers and sisters take charge of the branch and earn a commission."

"In fact, we should hire people to do the work, such as hiring people to scrub the end surfaces and clean up, and just don't let them know about what's going on in the kitchen."

“This will save a lot of trouble.”

"Don't be afraid, Third Sister-in-law. I have many delicious recipes here. If anyone learns something, I will teach you a new recipe."

"I heard from my mother that fans are in short supply. In fact, I can also hire people from the village to help with fan production. I can hire a few reliable people to help, sign a contract to keep it confidential, and work together to produce fans."

“Maybe I can open a vermicelli workshop in the future and use the work of villagers and people nearby.”

"Everyone relies on the workshop to earn money. If there is anything happening at home, the villagers will definitely help out."

…

The family talked like this, and Ye felt that she could learn a lot from listening to her sister's words.

And some of the words made her feel more at ease.

My sister told me that there are many other delicious recipes, so she doesn't need to be so cautious about someone spreading the recipe.

She took Shen Yueyao's hand gratefully and said, "Sister, thank you."

"Third sister-in-law, we are all family, no need to thank me."

The business in the store was booming, and Cui knew that Ye Chengzhou and the third brother would come home late.

She put some chive dumplings in the pot to keep warm and left some for the family to eat together.

Everyone praised it as delicious.

Ye said, "This chive box made with chives is really delicious. If we sell it at a stall, we'll definitely make a lot of money."

If the business in the store wasn't so good right now, Ye would have wanted to ask her sister how to set up a stall.

Even the eldest and second child, Xuanxuan, liked it and ate two leek dumplings.

After an hour, Shen Chengzhou and Shen Shaowen came back.

Cui took out the warm chive dumplings for them to eat, and both of them praised them highly.

The family sat together and talked about daily life and the business in the store.

Shen Yueyao could tell from what she heard that her family was living a good life now.

The family chatted and went to bed very late.

The next morning, the whole family got up early to wash and pack.

After breakfast, Shen Shaochen and Ye helped look after Xuanxuan, Dabao and Erbao at home.

Cui, Shen Chengzhou, Shen Shaojing and Shen Yueyao went to Xu's house.

When they arrived at the Xu family's house and saw the big house where the Xu family lived, Cui and Shen Chengzhou looked very calm and were not surprised or shocked.

The same is true for Shen Yueyao. Having watched various TV dramas, she naturally doesn't think there is anything special about such a house.

But Shen Shaojing was quite nervous.

After stopping the ox cart, Cui went forward and knocked on the door.

The gate opened, and a servant came out. He looked at their ox cart with a look of disdain and said, "This is the Xu Mansion. Not just anyone can come here."

Shen Yueyao looked at the boy and frowned after hearing these words.

Shen Shaojing was already a little nervous, and now he was even more nervous, his face was a little pale.

Cui also felt a little uncomfortable, but she still handed the card over and said, "This is a visiting card. Please help inform them."
