This caused Grandma Su to lose her temper.

"Going to someone's door early in the morning to bring bad luck? We won't accept any money from them now, so go away."

The others felt a chill run down their spines upon hearing this. They had only followed Peach Blossom Mother's instigation, thinking that if they made a fuss, the price would at least be the same as that in Peach Willow Village.

Although there are fewer children in this village compared to others, the sheer number of children adds up to a considerable sum of money.

"Oh my, my dear sister, why are you so short-tempered? People say that harmony brings wealth. You're a big businessman now, you can't keep being so impulsive."

"Yes, we just came to ask."

Grandma Su didn't want to waste any more words with them.

At this time, some villagers who heard the commotion at Old Su's house came out to see what was going on.

When some villagers saw that it was actually their daughter-in-law's family, their faces immediately fell.

Out of consideration for their daughter-in-law, they specifically asked her to go home and tell her family that the children could pick some soapberries to exchange for money at Old Su's house.

"Oh my, isn't this my mother-in-law? What brings you to our village so early in the morning?"

Why are you here at Old Su's doorstep instead of going to my house? Chunzhi just said she missed you, and here you are again! Come in and have a seat at my house.”

It was Old Mrs. Qin from the village entrance who spoke. She was now afraid that her short-sighted mother-in-law would offend the Su family again and then implicate her own family.

The person being questioned felt a little embarrassed and then said to Old Mrs. Qin, "Peach Blossom Mother told us that the price the Su family charges for our soapberries is different from what other villagers pay. We came here to ask about it."

Before Old Mrs. Qin, whose expression had already changed, could say anything, Old Mrs. Su said directly from the side, "Let's not beat around the bush, I'll just say it straight."

"I can no longer give face to the villagers who came today. From now on, we will not accept any soapberries from any of your families."

"It's really a case of good intentions gone unrewarded. We have enough children in our own village; we don't need help from outsiders."

"These people are really hypocritical, they want even better things, and that's how they should be dealt with."

The villagers who gathered around pointed and whispered about the old women.

Old Su tapped his pipe and said in a leisurely voice, "The reason we pay higher prices to the children in the village is mainly because their parents work in the workshops."

In addition, since the children from Taoliu Village gave them extra money, the idea was to give their families more income so they could buy more clothes for the children.

“We don’t have any connections with people from other villages. We only agreed to take in people from your village because of the villagers’ feelings.”

Unexpectedly, early in the morning, everyone came to my old Su's door, saying that just like my wife said, we won't be buying your soapberries anymore.

If you continue to cause trouble, we will not hire your families when our workshop needs to recruit people from other villages.

When the old ladies heard that the head of the Su family had spoken directly, they dared not act recklessly.

Only then did they realize that they had been somewhat shameless.

To be honest, the price this child gets from collecting soapberries and selling them isn't as high as what the children in Taoliu Village get, but it's still not low either.

Now look what's happened; I've messed things up myself. I don't know how to blame myself when I get home.

But these people didn't dare to continue making trouble. Just like Old Man Su said, if they continued to make trouble, it would be even more of a loss if the workshop had to fire them when hiring new people in the future.

They had also heard that the benefits and treatment were quite high once they joined the workshop.

And so these people quickly dispersed, but as they left, they kept pointing and whispering about Peach Blossom Girl, and eventually they even started fighting.

They blamed everything on Peach Blossom Girl, without considering that if they hadn't been so greedy, they wouldn't have ended up like this.

After finishing breakfast, Liu Daya and Liu Erya hurriedly headed to the workshop. Although they were children, they were still assigned to very good positions.

The Su family made this decision after careful consideration; it would be good if the two children had more money when they got married in the future.

Er Ya chattered excitedly about the future the whole way, "Sister, it's so great to be here! We can eat our fill every day and now we even get paid."

"Er Ya, now Grandpa and Grandma are offering us the same price as the workers, but you must always remember our identity."

After work, we still have to do more work. We're not free people to begin with, so we can't let people look down on us, you know?

"Big sister, what are you saying? Grandpa Su and the others are all doing well."

"I know they are good people, and it is precisely because they are good people that we cannot take all of this for granted."

"We'll keep this wage so that when Xiao Fubao gets married, we can contribute some money to her."

"Okay, sister."

Daya looked at Erya, who was running ahead happily, and smiled from the bottom of her heart.

...

Liujia Village

"You beast! How could you do such a thing? How are we supposed to live now?"

"Mother, it's their fault for cheating, it's really not my fault. I could have won, but they cheated and bullied me because I have no power or influence."

There was a loud cracking sound.

Grandma Liu kicked Liu Wentao to the ground. Despite her advanced age, she was surprisingly strong.

"You still haven't realized your mistake. The money Caifeng earns in town is for your wife's unborn child."

"Mother, please think of a way for me. Don't tell Ninth Sister about this."

Grandma Liu was trembling with anger.

Things were going well, and Cai Feng was selling her products in town. Because of her outstanding figure and appearance, she had a constant stream of customers every day.

Her own son rescued a young maid named Jiu Niang who had been kicked out of the mansion in town.

The two fell in love after a while, and he married the maid without asking for a single penny.

Just over half a month later, the maid started vomiting. Anyone who came here knows that she's pregnant.

He had originally hoped that the little maid would give birth to his child, which would bring harmony to the family.

Little did anyone expect that ever since the maid became pregnant, her son had started philandering.

In the end, he got into gambling. At first, he made a little money, and later he broke even. But then he stopped talking to me about it.

Only today did she learn that her youngest son actually owed one hundred taels of silver.

One hundred taels! That's one hundred taels!

"Where am I supposed to get a hundred taels of silver for you? Go ask for the money now. Get out of here."

Old Mrs. Liu was truly extremely disappointed in her youngest son.

But this matter still needs to be kept from him, otherwise his little family will fall apart. That little maid is obviously arrogant and will definitely run away if she finds out he owes a lot of debt.

That little maid doesn't look like someone to be trifled with; she might even miscarry your grandson.

At this moment, the eldest daughter-in-law outside the door had overheard the whole thing. "Hmph! She deserves it. Is that maid's baby Wentao's? Otherwise, why would she have brought her back and accepted Wentao so readily that the two of them would live together?"

The eldest daughter-in-law became increasingly convinced that the child in the maid's belly was not her brother-in-law's.
