"But a hundred taels is too much. How can I possibly carry that much in just one trip?"

"It's alright, I'm just taking a cut based on the total amount. Four thousand seven hundred taels is calculated as five thousand, and one thousand taels is twenty coins, so it's five ingots of silver. The larger the amount, the heavier the responsibility, you're worth the price!"

"Next time you go out, if you can only earn a thousand taels of silver, then you'll only get twenty taels. Be prepared, and don't complain about the small amount." Shui Qing pushed the silver over without hesitation.

She knew her abilities and could close deals—it was just that in this dynasty, women faced countless difficulties and obstacles when going out to do business.

She can manage the workshop and think of ways to make money, but going out to escort and deliver goods is an impossible task for her. First, she has no combat ability, and second, she has no sense of direction. Even with a navigation system, she might not be able to see the way, let alone in this dynasty. She can't even tell which way is east, west, south, or north.

Wen Hua is not only a deliveryman for the workshop, but also an excellent leader! Without him, it would be questionable whether these goods could be safely delivered to Yuhang. For both personal and public reasons, she would not give him too little money.

Hu Wenhua still felt it was too much. This was a hundred taels of silver! His parents had saved up for so many years and it was only a little over a hundred taels. He earned that much in just one trip.

"Take it! Don't worry about it. You'll be going out again soon, and the continuous flow of goods leaving the village will all be your responsibility. The hard work and effort will come later." Shui Qing placed the silver in front of him without allowing him to say anything more.

Hu Wenhua took a deep breath and said loudly, "Thank you, sister!"

He knew perfectly well that his sister was taking care of him.

Shuiqing took out another 1,420 taels of silver, put it in a cloth bag, and said softly, "To round it up, this is Uncle Ding's. Give it to Jiajia to take back later."

Hu Wenhua realized he had taken a deep breath too early.

Dear father-in-law and mother-in-law, is this how you make money?

Jiajia's life took a sharp turn for the worse after marrying him...

Shui Qing put the remaining 3,180 taels of silver into her backpack, took it to the opposite bedroom, and when she came out again, she had a small cloth bag in her hand. She handed it to Wen Hua and said, "When you have time, go and pay the wages of the people in the expedition team? This should be enough. Just bring the extra back to me."

I also mentioned the toothbrush delivery next month, so they could be mentally prepared.

After all, Wen Hua knew better than she did who the men were and how long they had been gone, and it was also easier for the men to distribute wages among themselves.

The same group of people were notified together before going out.

Hu Wenhua picked up two cloth bags and stood up abruptly: "I'll go right now!"

Who wouldn't want to receive money? We endure wind and rain, leaving our homes and families behind, all for the sake of earning this money. Of course, we should send it over as soon as possible to make the whole family happy.

He also went to Aunt Li's house to ask Sister-in-law Dayan to handle the betrothal gifts—he wanted to settle things as soon as possible.

After giving Jiajia Ding's share, Hu Wenhua strode towards the village.

This trip will last for forty-six days, costing one hundred coins per day, which is four taels and six mace per person.

The Zhao, Sun, Fan, and Zhang Tuzi families did not select anyone to go, so a few families, such as Aunt Zhang, Seventh Master Fan, and Aunt Li, had two men each, and each time they earned nine taels and two qian!

Hu Wenhua deliberately left Aunt Li's house for last.
