Ye Panjiu nodded approvingly, "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Cuihua."
Ye Cuihua chuckled, "This is hardly hard work. Life is very easy now! Auntie, you should go to sleep."
She left after saying that; she was telling the truth.
This is the most leisurely life she's ever had since she was born.
After waking up from her afternoon nap, Ye Panjiu took the money bag and started counting the silver ingots. The silver ingots were easy to count.
The total is 68 taels and 854 cash.
On average, it was about five taels and three hundred cash per day. Because the wages were reduced and Liu Shi and Ye Cuihua were not paid, the amount was much more than before.
She took out another two taels of silver. Ye Cuihua's wages for these thirteen days were 1,560 cash, which she rounded down to the nearest whole number.
Then he put fourteen taels into a purse, which was two-tenths of the amount for Liu's family, and it was also rounded up.
Now, only her eldest brother is unable to contribute to the family income, so it depends on how well he manages his horse farm.
She can earn money and also help her whole family earn money. It would be good to share more of that money with her family.
She envied the original owner in terms of family. Despite the original owner's reckless behavior, her family did not abandon her; instead, they did their best to help her.
Now that she has transmigrated and taken over the original owner's body, she should treat the original owner's family better.
After settling the accounts, she took her purse and left the house.
Ye Cuihua accepted it without refusing. She had already received a lot of lucky money during the New Year, and now it was another large sum of wages.
She already had more than ten taels of silver, and she had only been home for a little over a month. Even during her six years at the Wu family, she had never seen so much silver, let alone had any in her possession.
With so much money, he wouldn't feel any pressure even if he were the only one supporting his two children, Hao'er and Nannan.
However, Madam Liu refused to accept it, saying, "Little sister, this is too much."
Sun walked over, grabbed the purse, and stuffed it into her arms. "Take it. My little sister will split the profits with us. She said she wanted to give us 40%, but I didn't agree. We finally managed to negotiate 20%. If you don't take it, my little sister will take even more."
Liu opened her mouth slightly, "Ah, then I'll accept it."
She looked at Grandma Ye again, and sure enough, she saw Grandma Ye covering her face.
After her daughter suddenly became very successful at making money, she started stuffing money into the hands of everyone in the family.
She has a lot of money now and doesn't plan to leave Yejia Village, so she can't possibly spend it all.
Ye Panjiu asked Old Madam Ye, "Mother, if you have trouble finding tenant farmers, I'm going to find Chu Guan anyway. How about I hire some tenant farmers from him?"
Grandma Ye quickly waved her hand, "No need, no need, the tenant farmer will be hired tomorrow, so don't worry about it."
Heaven knows, she and Old Man Ye were just too reluctant to spend money to hire tenant farmers, which is why they kept putting it off.
I always feel that I should do this job myself and not waste money by asking others to do it.
Ye Panjiu nodded, "Okay, if you still can't find one tomorrow, I'll hire one for you."
When she went to the fields today and saw her parents with their white hair still working so hard, she felt a pang of sadness and discomfort in her heart.
She gave her parents the choice to work if they wanted to, or not work if they didn't want to, but they were reluctant to spend money and put in all their effort to work on the job themselves, even buying more land, which was something she didn't want to see.
Grandma Ye and Grandpa Ye exchanged a glance and had no choice but to agree, "We'll listen to our daughter."
After saying this, Ye Panjiu offered some gifts, mounted her horse, and rode with Heng Tong toward the county government office.
Ye Panjiu stopped his horse and lingered for a while as he passed Jiujiu Lu, which was closed.
Familiar signs, familiar shops next to the store.
Many people looked closely and recognized Ye Panjiu, greeting her, "Panjiu is back?"
Ye Panjiu smiled and nodded to everyone.
After accumulating my first sum of money by setting up a stall, I opened this shop. It feels like just yesterday.
She turned the reins, and the horse galloped forward.
There was a great commotion in front of the county government office.
"The Wang family's land in Qingshui County now belongs to the government because the Wang family was exiled!" Chu Guan said angrily.
"Although this is registered under Lord Wang Hezhi's name, it actually belongs to the Imperial Concubine! If you offend the Imperial Concubine, you, a lowly ninth-rank county magistrate, will be in deep trouble!" the eunuch shouted angrily in a shrill voice.
Upon seeing Ye Panjiu at the door, Chu Guan was too lazy to argue with him anymore. He waved to the guards, "Someone, escort Eunuch Xia out properly. Everyone in the world is afraid of the Wang family, but the Chu family is not! Eunuch Xia, go back and report."
Eunuch Xia raised an eyebrow, so angry he wanted to curse again, but when he saw the guard with a knife walking towards him, he shut his mouth.
With a flick of his sleeve, he shouted, "Don't touch me! I can walk by myself!"
He walked out of the county government office with his head held high, just as he had arrived.
A small sedan chair carried by two men was parked at the entrance. Eunuch Xia got in, and the sedan chair was lifted up and he left.
Ye Panjiu tied up his horse and headed towards the county government office.
Chu Guan greeted her happily, "Sister Pan Jiu, you're finally back!"
Ye Panjiu smiled and handed him a box.
Chu Guan raised his eyebrows and accepted it, "Sister Pan Jiu, you're too kind. It's good that you're back, and you even brought me a gift. I'm so embarrassed."
Her hands moved quickly and efficiently, tearing open the box to reveal several kinds of pastries inside.
"I bought a few signature dishes from various popular pastry shops in Shuzhou and brought them back for you to try," Ye Panjiu said with a smile.
Chu Guan was impatient and picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth. "Not bad, not bad. I'm so tired of the pastries from Qingshui County. I'm very happy with this gift from Sister Panjiu!"
He has an exceptional love for food.
Ye Panjiu smiled and said, "Why don't you write a memorial to His Majesty about the matter that Eunuch Xia just asked you about? If Eunuch Xia also goes to seize the land of the Wang family in Shuzhou, Lord Duan will probably write a memorial as well."
Chu Guan sighed, "It's no use even if we go. My father is almost at war with Wang Helu in court, and His Majesty doesn't care about the Wang family."
Ye Panjiu smiled and said, "How do you know whether His Majesty is actually in charge or not? The emperor's heart is unpredictable. Just write your memorial and it will come in handy when he does take charge."
Chu Guan looked at her and nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to Sister Pan Jiu."
As he was about to write a memorial, Ye Panjiu stopped him, saying, "Don't rush. There might be another matter tomorrow that requires your memorial, which will definitely be a great achievement."
Chu Guan raised an eyebrow again. "Tomorrow? What's going to happen tomorrow?"
Ye Panjiu smiled and said, "Spring plowing has begun. The county magistrate should ride his horse to see how spring plowing is going in Qingshui County, and also see those in Qingshui County who have neither land nor a livelihood. Let's give the Wang family's land to them for free."
Come to my field again, I'll show you something different.
Chu Guan nodded, “Good. The clerk said earlier that we should hire some tenant farmers to cultivate this land, so that we can earn the most money. I’m thinking, I don’t lack that money. The previous magistrate and his clerk left behind quite a bit of money in the county government.”
Ye Panjiu smiled but didn't say anything.
Most normal people are like Master Ziping, who can never earn enough money.
