Therefore, after hearing these words, the way they looked at Chi Kang was neither envious nor complicated.

There was even a hint of sympathy.

After all, they felt that once they became the next member of the clan, they would be bound to this small Chijia'ao for the rest of their lives.

Even if you have a shop, you have a stable income.

But when the harvest season improves, the shop's business will definitely not be as good as it is now.

The village is small with a limited population, and it's in the middle of nowhere. Earning three or four hundred coins a month is probably considered a lot.

This is completely different from them striving for a better future outside!

After all, it concerns not only oneself, but also the future prospects and vision of one's descendants.

Because Chi Kang is going to become the next clan leader, his family needs to prepare even more lavish offerings for the ancestors.

So when everyone left, they each carried an extra jar of wine, a chicken, and a fish.

This chicken belongs to the Pond Fish Space.

However, when she was making preserved fish before, she took the opportunity to make an excuse to buy some from her clansmen and smoked a few of them.

Once they left, Chi Qiao let out a heavy sigh and said:

"Alright, that's enough about that. Let's continue. We'll eat when the men get back!"

Huang Dani was feeling conflicted. She was happy that her son would become the future clan leader, but she also felt guilty about having to leave him here.

Chi Qiao could see her complicated state of mind, so she said, "Second sister-in-law, don't think too much about it. Things will work themselves out."

You know, there's usually nothing much going on in our clan.

Instead of letting Akang follow the chief and learn this and that, it would be better to let him go out and do some work to gain experience.

During festivals and holidays, if there's anything the clan needs to do, just have him come back in advance so he can learn from you.

You probably already know what the clan chief and the others mean.

Their real purpose wasn't how capable the next clan leader would be, but rather what he, as a relative, could bring to the clan.

Chen Xiaomai knew about her three sons' future, but she was more concerned about the tofu shop than who would become the clan leader.

Therefore, after her eldest sister-in-law finished speaking and her second sister-in-law seemed much more relaxed, she asked directly:

"Little Fish, you said you'd go down the mountain to do business, does that mean we'll continue making and selling tofu?"

Chen Xiaomai didn't ask whether there would be too many people.

According to Xiaoyu, this is something that will happen in April or May, by which time her whole family will have to come down the mountain.

With three sons in school, how much would she and her husband need to earn each month to support them?

If her tofu shop belonged to her family, it would be fine. But if there were many partners, the profits would have to be shared, and she would be even less able to support them.

You see, people down the mountain usually support one child with their whole family. But she's supporting three at once!

Chi Yu noticed her worry and said, "Third Sister-in-law, after we go down the mountain, you can do the same as before, working together with A Ye's wife and A Deng's wife."

Here's how I see it from my sister-in-law's perspective.

The eldest sister-in-law is a skilled cook. It's up to her to decide whether she wants to open a shop and sell food or something else.

As for your second sister-in-law, after you make this tofu, you can make stinky tofu or something similar, and then have her set up a stall on the street.

My second sister-in-law was also unwilling, so let's see what we can do next.

As for myself, I want to buy land, and Qin Mu just happened to tell me that he could get me some high-yield crops.

I plan to have my eldest, second, and third brothers help me with the farming first.

We're brothers, so let's keep clear accounts. I'll pay them according to the wages for the hired workers.

If it grows successfully and yields a high harvest, then you should save up some money, buy some land, and grow your own crops.

In any case, they are getting older, and it's not the same thing to rely on hunting for a living.

Besides that, I'm thinking about some food.

If it tastes good and Tongfu Restaurant doesn't have this dish, then I can sell the recipe to them.
