Chapter 307 Sending Silver
"Mom! Why are you back?" Du Wanwan heard the gate open and walked out of the main house. She was stunned when she saw Liang. "Who is this?"
When she went to the Ye family's old house that day, she didn't notice Liang, and no one introduced her to her.
Chen Xiangxiu also realized it and quickly said, "This is your third aunt! This is her daughter Tinghe. Third sister-in-law! She is Wanwan, Zhongyuan's wife."
Du Wanwan hurriedly greeted the man. She was wearing men's clothing, so naturally she followed men's etiquette: "Third aunt! My name is Du Wanwan, and I'm Ye Tingxiao's..."
Before she finished speaking, Chenchen beside her interrupted: "Wife! My father's wife, my mother."
Liang had never seen such a lovely child before, and couldn't help but reach out and pick him up: "Haha! What about you? What's your name? What are you to your father?"
Chenchen told Liang very seriously: "My name is Ye Chenyuan, my mother and grandma call me Chenchen, I am my father's eldest son. I am the only man in the family, I have to protect my mother, grandma, aunt and aunt."
"Haha! Our Chenchen is really amazing."
Liang smiled and praised, then put down Chenchen who was struggling to get off the ground, and followed Chenxiangxiu into the hall of the main house.
Xu served tea and nodded to Liang with a smile as a greeting.
I took a look around the room. Although the furniture was not expensive, it was practical, clean and tidy.
Ye Tingyu came out and called Ye Tinghe aside to talk. They were both girls, so it was easy for them to talk to each other.
Liang took the tea, thanked her, picked it up and took a sip, put it down, took out a silver note from her sleeve pocket and pushed it in front of Chen Xiangxiu.
"Sister-in-law! Please accept this money." Liang showed a bitter smile, "When the house was searched, everything was taken away. I secretly hid some of the private money.
When you went back that day, you didn't dare to take it out in front of the old lady. Even if you took it, it wouldn't be in your hands. Sister-in-law! We are all family, don't be so formal with me."
Du Wanwan watched from the side and felt that the third aunt of the Ye family looked cold, but her words were reasonable.
He is a person who appears cold on the outside but has a warm heart, unlike the old lady who smiles but has a dagger inside her heart and is sweet-mouthed but has a sharp tongue.
Chen Xiangxiu subconsciously looked at Du Wanwan, and when she saw her shaking her head slightly, she pushed the banknote back: "Third brother's wife! The fact that you can come here and send a banknote shows that you and Third Brother don't treat us as outsiders.
Sister-in-law, I won't hide it from you. We didn't come to the capital empty-handed. We hid some money and bought this yard. We also set up a shop for Wanwan. Our lives will gradually get better.
You have four people to feed, too. Don't just take care of us and let your own children starve and freeze."
"Sister-in-law!" Liang pushed the banknote to Chen Xiangxiu again, "I came here sincerely. Although the old lady and the second sister-in-law don't know, my master said that there is no need to let them know about this.
Take the money first. Wanwan still needs to run the shop, right? She needs to spend money anyway. We are staying in the old house, so we won’t need it for a while. I feel more at ease if I leave it with you.”
She meant what she said. She was hiding so much silver on her body, and she was afraid that the old lady would find out accidentally. Although the chance of that happening was very small, she was still worried. If she knew that she had silver in her hand, she might cause trouble.
It’s better to give it to Chen Xiangxiu, so that she won’t have to worry about being caught in the future.
As for the fifty taels of silver in the house, she would find someplace to hide it. Even if the old lady knew about it, she couldn't do anything to her.
For a big family, hiding fifty taels of silver was nothing. If they knew that she had hidden two hundred taels, the situation would be completely different. Even Fang Shi might be jealous.
Hearing her say this, Du Wanwan felt it was difficult to refuse. The other person came to her house with good intentions to give her money, and she was not afraid that they could not pay it back. How could she still refuse it with such shame?
"Mom! Since Third Aunt brought it, let's keep it."
Her words worked well, and Chen Xiangxiu nodded immediately: "Okay! Then keep it. Thank you, Third Brother's wife! How is Third Brother?"
Hearing this, Liang was shocked, and then she realized that the person in charge of this family was actually Zhongyuan's wife.
"Sister-in-law, you don't have to be polite to me. The master is fine. He was very happy to see Chenchen. He said he would go to the bookstore to find some books to copy to supplement the family income. I am very happy that he thinks so. At least he was not scared by the change and can still work hard to make progress. It's already good."
Looking at the little Chenchen staying quietly and well-behavedly aside, not making any noise or making any noise, playing by himself, it really makes people feel distressed.
"Uncle, it's better to write some storybooks and sell them instead of copying books. That way you can make money faster and it's much better than copying books." Du Wanwan reminded her from the side. Fearing that Liang would be embarrassed, she comforted her, "There is no distinction between high and low occupations. If you can feed and clothe your family through your own hard work, that's a skill."
Liang had originally felt helpless and sad after hearing that sentence. After all, her master was once the legitimate son of a marquis, raised in luxury, but now he had to write storybooks to make a living.
I wonder if the old marquis would faint from crying if he knew about this. If the old lady knew about this, she would definitely scold me for not doing my job properly.
But after hearing the latter part, she felt that what was said was true. It is also a skill to feed and clothe a family through the efforts of one's own hands.
That's right, now that the Marquis' Mansion is gone, the days of luxury are gone forever. From now on, I have to rely on myself. If I don't work hard, what will happen to them?
"Also, Uncle San doesn't need to come forward to write the storybook himself. Aunt San should come forward to contact him and give him a nickname that is suitable for both men and women." Du Wanwan gave another suggestion, "On the surface, the bookstore owner thought that the storybook was written by Aunt San, but in fact it was written by Uncle San.
If you can write a famous book and print it into a book, it will be a sure way to make money. Remember, if you really write a book, you can't just sell it to a bookstore to save trouble.
One-time deals are not suitable for long-term development. We need to share profits with bookstores, which is the only business with long-term potential."
Liang's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Wanwan! You are so talented that you even thought of this? All right! Aunt San will tell your Third Uncle when she goes home tonight. If it really works out, your Third Uncle and I will definitely thank you very much.
I used to read storybooks, and if that doesn’t work out, can I write them? Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a waste of all the time I’ve read so many and spent so much spare money?”
Chen Xiangxiu looked at Liang, who had a smile on her face and sparkling eyes, and suddenly felt that his daughter-in-law's language charm was really great. Just a few words could arouse a person's yearning for life.
Xu was watching from the side and was also very shocked. Wanwan was really capable. She could give people an idea and it would benefit them for the rest of their lives.
She also wanted to do something for the family, but what could she do? She made the best shoes and clothes. I wonder if Wanwan could give her some ideas on how to make a living.
