Ye Panjiu smiled brightly. She planned to add more ingredients, as the county could provide even more.
That's five taels of silver a day, and one hundred and fifty taels of silver a month.
After paying off the debt, she prepared for the next step of her business.
Ye Panjiu took her wages and left the house.
Sun looked at her with bright eyes, "Hehe, little sister is here."
Ye Panjiu couldn't help but chuckle, and first took out 360 coins and placed them in her palm, saying, "These are all for the second wife's family."
"Ah! We've struck it rich!" Mrs. Sun exclaimed, beaming as she held up a pile of copper coins.
Although the second wife already has much more savings than this, this is the first time she has received so much money, and she is very excited!
Ye Erniu gave Ye Panjiu a rather resentful look.
He didn't even get a chance to touch the money before it was gone.
Before Ye Panjiu could react, Madam Sun raised her eyebrows.
"What kind of look is that? I think five coins a day is too much pocket money. Starting today, I'm not giving you any more!"
Ye Erniu felt like the sky had fallen. "Wife, please listen to my excuses! No, please listen to my explanation! My eyes were just a little uncomfortable, and I caught a chill. Believe me!"
Sun snorted coldly, took the money, and swayed into the house.
She's going to lock up the money.
Ye Lei covered his face, feeling that he couldn't bear to look at his father.
Ye Erniu approached him with a pitiful look on his face and asked in a low voice, "Son, Dad is just five coins short of that pot of 'Moonlight Drunkenness' wine. Please help Dad out..."
Ye Lei stood up, picked up the bucket, and walked outside.
He still needs to save money to get married.
Ye Erniu looked at the whole family and finally walked over to Ye Daniu.
"Have your sister-in-law hold them all," Ye Daniu said first.
Liu looked at Ye Erniu.
Ye Erniu, however, couldn't open his mouth.
He had heard it from Butcher Wang: this "Moonlight Drunkenness" was exceptionally delicious, and if he didn't try it, his life would be wasted.
That's why I'm so tempted to try it.
But his sister-in-law was always very composed, and he just couldn't use this incident to ask her for money.
Ye Panjiu took out twenty coins and put them in Ye Erniu's hand. "Second brother, go buy them. I'll try them too, and see if I've really lived in vain."
Ye Erniu shoved the money back at him, saying, "No, you're really acting like the money-spending boy Mother always talked about. Keep your money safe, your second brother isn't in a hurry."
Ye Panjiu choked up. The only way she could get into this family was by stuffing money into Sun's hands.
It's really hard to slip money to other people.
She can buy it herself.
After locking up the money, Ms. Sun rushed out again.
"Little sister, how's that Wang family girl?"
Ye Panjiu nodded, "I like the Wang family girl very much; she's a good girl."
Ye Lei, who was carrying water back, couldn't suppress the smile on his face when he heard this.
Mrs. Sun now has complete faith in Ye Panjiu's judgment; if she says it's good, then it must be good.
"Then I'll go propose this afternoon! It would be best to get engaged and married as soon as possible; I'm eager to have my grandson!"
Ye Lei almost bit his tongue. This... so fast!
Ye Panjiu patted her hand, "Go buy meat with your second brother this afternoon, take a look, then find a matchmaker to ask, and then have the matchmaker inquire about the Wang family's intentions."
Ye Lei nodded in agreement; his aunt was definitely the most reliable person there.
“Okay,” Sun replied quickly.
In the afternoon, when Ye Panjiu woke up from her nap, Sun and Ye Erniu had already left.
She sat leisurely in the courtyard, basking in the sun.
The autumn sun is warm and pleasant. In less than half a month, it will be November, and the weather will get cold, so we'll have to wear thick clothes.
After a while, Sun and Ye Erniu returned.
Sun frowned and sat down next to Ye Panjiu. "Little sister, I think she's alright, but this Wang family girl looks quite formidable. I'm worried that Lei'er might get bullied."
"You've been nagging me the whole way, and I've been bullied by you too. I don't think it's a bad thing." Ye Erniu clapped his hands, his ears were practically calloused from listening to it.
“If you don’t like it, go away. You are you, and Lei’er is Lei’er. How can they be the same?” Sun glared at him.
Ye Erniu and Ye Lei exchanged a glance.
Ye Erniu covered his head and left. Over the years, his status in his wife's heart was not as high as that of his son.
However, his wife bought him the "Moonlight Drunkenness" wine, showing that she still loved him.
The wife bought more than one pot.
"Lei'er, are you afraid of being bullied?" Ye Panjiu asked Ye Lei with a smile.
Ye Lei blushed and shook his head.
"See? It's a willing buyer and a willing seller. Can you control everything? Lei'er is all grown up now and has his own ideas. Let's listen to the child," Ye Panjiu said slowly.
Sun frowned as she looked at Ye Lei.
Why do I get this feeling that my child is too old to stay at home?
“Then I’ll go and ask the village matchmaker, Li.” Sun stood up and walked out.
Ye Lei watched his mother's retreating figure with a tense expression.
Ye Panjiu and Grandma Ye exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with smiles.
Look how anxious Lei'er is, young man.
A short while later, a sound came from outside the door.
"Oh dear, slow down, I can't breathe!" the matchmaker exclaimed breathlessly.
“Why are you so slow? You can’t just lie around all day now that it’s the off-season for farming. You need to move around more to stay healthy!” Sun turned around and took Li the matchmaker’s arm.
"Alright, alright, but we can't run anymore. We're already at the door, there's no rush. Let me walk slowly." Matchmaker Li looked at Madam Sun very cautiously, afraid that she would drag her away again.
Ye Panjiu's lips twitched. This fiery second sister-in-law...
Ye Lei hurriedly stepped forward and opened the door.
"Grandma Li, come in quickly."
Matchmaker Li looked at him with a smile, "Oh my, look at this man who is about to become a husband. I used to hold you when you were a child, and now you're getting married."
Ye Lei scratched his head sheepishly and turned to pour tea for Matchmaker Li.
"Old woman, what have you been busy with lately? I haven't seen you in the village for almost half a month," Matchmaker Li asked Old Lady Ye.
"I'm always helping my daughter with her stall, I'm so busy, I can't sit still for a moment, I get anxious if I'm idle," Grandma Ye replied with a smile.
"You're destined to be busy your whole life." Matchmaker Li shook her head, finally able to sit down and rest.
“Your son is too thin-skinned; he didn’t take after you,” said Matchmaker Li, looking at Madam Sun.
Sun glared at her, "Look at what you're saying, I'm also easily embarrassed, aren't I, little sister?"
Ye Panjiu smiled but didn't say anything, only speaking to Matchmaker Li, "Grandma Li, thank you for your hard work."
"It's alright, it's just that this Mrs. Sun, she's been a mother for so many years, but she's still in such a hurry. I don't think Panjiu is in a rush to remarry." Matchmaker Li took Ye Panjiu's hand and patted it.
Ye Panjiu quickly shook her head, "I already have a daughter, and I'm not planning to remarry now. It's mainly because Lei'er wants to get married."
"Which family have you chosen?" Matchmaker Li asked.
Sun hurriedly replied, "It's that Wang the butcher's house in town."
Matchmaker Li, having spent most of her life as a matchmaker, knew all about these arranged marriages. "In town, the butcher's daughter, is her name Wang Jiao? I heard she's very capable; she's been helping her father sell meat since she was little. Several matchmakers tried to arrange marriages with her, but they all fell through because they didn't agree to let her continue selling meat for her father after marriage."
Ye Lei, who was holding a cup of tea, hurriedly called out, "I promise, I can also help Uncle Wang sell meat."
