The only two servants in Zhang Fuhu's household endured the stench and rushed out, grabbing Li Zhiyuan and giving him a sound beating.

A moment later, Granny Li came running over crying, "Stop hitting him! Stop hitting him! He's not normal anymore, can't you just let him go?"

Li Zhiyuan has gone mad!

I don't know when it started, but he went from being drunk to laughing like an idiot, then he started running to Zhang's house every day to curse Zhang Shuiniang, and finally it got to the point where he throws excrement at people now.

The once-glorious scholar has now become a laughing stock in the surrounding villages.

......

Amidst the hustle and bustle, the New Year and Lantern Festival were quickly over.

The date for Ye Caiping's family to return to Beijing has also been set: they will depart on the 20th day of the first lunar month.

On the nineteenth day of the first lunar month, Ye Caiping called all the owners of the furniture workshop, the manager of the glass workshop, and Zhao Fan to a meeting.

Ye Caiping sat in the grand chair at the head of the table: "I'm leaving for the capital tomorrow, and the furniture workshop will be handed over to you from now on. On the tenth of each month, the village head will be in charge of distributing the profits. My share will be deposited in the bank."

“They send me an account book once a month, and the account book is handed directly to the people on the Shen family's merchant ship. The glass workshop and the hot and sour soup are the same.”

Ye Lizheng and the others agreed one by one.

Ye Caiping then turned her gaze to Zhao Fan: "Zhao Fan, after I leave, the Hu La Tang workshop will be managed by you, and your monthly salary will be increased to 15 taels."

Zhao Fan said happily, "Thank you, Auntie."

Now that he is married to Xiaoyan, he calls her whatever Xiaoyan calls him.

He used to work as an accountant, earning one and a half taels of silver a month. Now his salary has increased tenfold.

Although it wasn't as much as what Xiao Yan earned, Zhao Fan was still overjoyed.

By the way, Xiao Yan and Jin Hua's embroidery shop is on track. They have opened two branches in the prefectural city. Together, the three shops bring in a net monthly income of two to three hundred taels of silver.

The money Xiao Yan earns belongs to Xiao Yan, and the money he earns also belongs to Xiao Yan!
