Not only Ye Erquan, but even the old man and his wife were overjoyed.

Although Madam Du and Madam Wei didn't have shoes, the pile of cloth in the hall was enough to make them happy.

Ye Caiping has to go into the kitchen to cook; starting today, it's her turn again.

Madam Wei quickly stopped her, saying, "Little sister, you should rest. From now on, let me and my sister-in-law cook the meals at home."

Grandma Ye laughed: "Listen to your second sister-in-law. You're so fussy. You even pay Daquan and Erquan's wages so they can do the work."

Ye Caiping thought about how she would be even busier setting up a workshop later, so she nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, sister-in-law."

I made chicken soup for lunch, and the braised pork was a recipe that Ye Caiping taught Du to make.

Now that the family has a stable source of income, both Daquan and Erquan have received their wages, and Du and Wei are more willing to spend money on oil and salt.

When Ye Daquan, Ye Yong and the other two boys returned, they started eating.

The family enjoyed the meal together happily.

Grandma Ye looked around at everyone with a smile. She never imagined that they would be able to sit together and eat so happily, with vegetables and meat, and they were eating white rice.

This is something I never dared to imagine before.

After the meal, Grandma Ye told everyone not to leave, as she needed to take measurements to make clothes.

We've been eating well lately, and everyone's gained some weight; the children have also grown taller.

After taking the measurements, Ye Caiping took out 29 taels that she had prepared beforehand: "Sister-in-law, adding the one tael from last time, that makes 30 taels. This is what we agreed to give you."

"This..." Du's eyes reddened. Thinking of how Ye Caiping had paid Daquan's wages and bought rice and cloth, she felt a little guilty.

"Take it!" Ye Caiping put the money in her hand.

Upon receiving the money, Madam Du was overjoyed and didn't know what to do: "I have 30 taels now! Hahaha!"

The family members chuckled.

Ye Caiping then placed three silver ingots into Wei's hand: "These are for my second sister-in-law, 30 taels."

Mrs. Wei was stunned for a moment, as were Old Mrs. Ye and the others.

“Little sister… I didn’t agree to give you 30 taels or anything…” Madam Wei was stunned.

“Regardless of whether there is an agreement or not, if the first wife has something, the second wife must also have something. Over the years, both the first and second wives have contributed the same amount.”

Ye Xuan didn't get any schooling, and neither did Ye Peng.

Although Ye Peng didn't like studying, it didn't mean he wasn't qualified to study; both of them equally lost the opportunity to study.

Therefore, she owed the first wife and the second wife the same amount.

With tears in her eyes, Ms. Wei said, "Thank you, little sister."

When Ye Caiping was asked to return 30 taels to the first wife, she felt it was unfair and that Ye Caiping was biased towards the first wife.

Unexpectedly, Ye Caiping was not biased; she just didn't say it out loud.

The Ye brothers opened their mouths, but Ye Daquan hesitated to speak. Ye Erquan said, "Little sister, that's too much. Let's just be peaceful from now on, no need..."

Ye Caiping glared at him and laughed, "I have money, so I want to be both harmonious and fair."

Ye Erquan was speechless. He felt sorry for his little sister, but he also liked how well she treated them. In the end, he could only nod with a sheepish smile.

Anyway, whatever my little sister does is good, so I should just listen to her.

Ye Caiping walked up to Old Lady Ye and her husband and took out another 30 taels of silver: "This is for my parents."

"Ah! You've gone mad today, you little rascal!" Old Mrs. Ye jumped up in a flash.

Everyone from the first and second wives also took a deep breath.

"My parents have worried so much about me all these years. Now that I can earn money, it's only natural that I want to take care of them," Ye Caiping said earnestly to the two elders.

Although she came from another time.

But she truly felt their care and love during this time.

She was no longer an orphan; she had a daughter, parents, and brothers and sisters-in-law.

These are all her relatives.

As long as they don't betray you, they will be your family for life.

Money can't buy feelings, but if you can't even be willing to spend money, what kind of feelings are you talking about?

She didn't know how to express herself or how to be filial to the two of them; she only thought about satisfying their material needs first.

She felt at ease as long as she had money in her hands, so she gave him the money.

"But you don't need to give me money... I already have wages, 30 coins a day, 900 coins a month. What old lady earns 900 coins a month?"

As Grandma Ye spoke, she became increasingly proud.

Ye Caiping laughed and said, "One thing at a time. That's wages, but this 30 taels is for your personal savings. Didn't Mother say that I've emptied my savings for my own funeral? I'm just returning your savings to you."

"But you don't need to give 30 taels. If you really want to show your respect, then give me a small amount, just 3 taels will do. Keep this money safe, in case you need it in the future..."

“Then Mother should accept it even more. If I suddenly become poor in the future, I can rely on Mother to help me.”

Grandma Ye was stunned. What if her daughter's business suddenly ran into trouble, or all the money was squandered...?

Thinking it over, Old Lady Ye quickly clutched the 30 taels to her chest and laughed, "Yes, yes, this is my life savings. Cai Ping is so filial!"

If my daughter suddenly falls into poverty in the future, at least she'll have 30 taels of silver! She should definitely keep it!

Grandma Ye's action made everyone in the room laugh.

“Sister-in-law, now that you have money, you should arrange Yong’er’s marriage as soon as possible,” Ye Caiping said.

"Yes, yes, I'll work on the clothes with Jinhua in a bit, stay up all night, and they'll be finished by tomorrow morning. Then we'll find the matchmaker to talk things over." Du's face was flushed with excitement.

"The ice man can find Zhu Zi's wife or Tie Niu's wife, or even the village head's wife," Madam Wei said with a smile.

“The village head is a more reliable person,” said Old Lady Ye.

Ye Caiping smiled at them, "There's one last thing!"
