Chapter 184 If Zhou Lihua really dares to do anything, don't blame her for divorcing her
I have to say that Xiao Ying's plan was very successful.
On the first day of operation in the new workshop, the output exceeded 4,000 kilograms, even though nearly half of the workers were novices and had just moved to a new place and were not yet adapted to the environment.
Once everything is familiar, the output can be increased further.
The workers were so excited that they felt they had endless energy working in such a workshop.
If it weren't for the overpowering smell, I would have loved to sleep here at night. It's much better than home.
Chen Zhong has also started preparing materials and construction will begin tomorrow.
This move also aroused the villagers' confusion and curiosity. After asking around, they found out that Xiao Ying was going to build a new workshop to produce something else.
Some smart people came to ask if Xiao Ying wanted to recruit workers. Xiao Ying just asked them to wait a little longer, without agreeing or refusing.
The villagers speculated what the new workshop would produce. Some said potatoes, some said textiles, and some said something else.
For a while, it became a new topic in the village.
"Second sister-in-law is really amazing. She's going to make something new again."
At Chen Afu's house, the family was also discussing while eating dinner.
The person who spoke was Chen Tong, his dark face full of admiration.
He now manages several businesses. One is to deliver goods to Ruyi Restaurant every day, and the other is to open shops in the town and two other counties to purchase red strips.
The town is looked after by Chen Afu and Chen Xiaoniu, while the two county towns are respectively managed by Chen Jin and Chen Daniu. Both father and son only come back once every two or three days.
Therefore, the family bought two more ox carts.
And because of the shortage of manpower, we hired people in those two counties, paying them one or two taels of silver per month.
They even set up a special fleet for transportation, and the family could earn several taels of silver every day!
Now that the family had money, Chen Afu and Chen Zhang were no longer as frugal as before and would buy some meat almost every day.
Maybe because the food is good, the whole family has gained some weight and smiles more often in the past two months.
"Are you going to make something new again?"
Zhou Lihua's heart immediately soured when she heard this. Wasn't the spicy sesame oil enough for her to earn? What tricks was that woman going to pull next?
Her eyes rolled, and a good idea suddenly came to her mind.
"Second sister-in-law is so capable, the new thing she makes will definitely make a lot of money. Dad, Mom, do you think she will give the spicy sesame oil to our family when the time comes?"
That's a hen that lays golden eggs. If spicy sesame oil becomes theirs, they'll be really rich!
By then they would be able to build a large brick and tile house and buy a dozen, no, dozens of servants to serve her, and she would no longer have to do housework.
She also wanted to buy a lot of gold and silver jewelry, dress herself up beautifully, and live the life of a lady like Xiao Ying.
When she thought about Xiao Ying having someone to serve her and protect her whenever she went out, she felt extremely envious.
"Third daughter-in-law, what are you talking about?"
Unexpectedly, Chen Zhang's face turned serious and she slammed her chopsticks on the table, which scared Zhou Lihua.
Zhou Lihua suddenly came to her senses, the beautiful fantasy in her heart disappeared completely, and she showed a bit of horror.
Chen Tong also scolded with a cold face, feeling angry and ashamed.
"What are you thinking about all the time, woman? We are already lucky enough to be doing business with Second Sister-in-law. We can earn hundreds of taels of silver every month."
"You actually! You actually still covet Second Sister-in-law's spicy sesame oil. Where on earth do you get the nerve to do that?"
The others were also stunned, staring at Zhou Lihua with strange expressions. How could a person be so greedy?
Only Chen Xiaohe and Chen Xiaobao, brother and sister, had bright eyes, imagining the beautiful scene their mother had described.
Ever since their father started making them work, they have been holding a grudge.
Especially when they saw Chen Xinghai and Chen Xingyun, who were not as good as them in the past and were bullied by them so much that they dared not fight back, living in a big house, living a good life, and having servants around them, the resentment in their hearts reached the extreme.
If the spicy sesame oil belongs to their family, then they are the ones who live in the mansion and have servants to do the bidding!
It’s a pity that my father and grandparents didn’t seem to agree and scolded my mother, so they didn’t dare to speak easily.
"Dad, Mom, Husband, I just said that casually, don't be angry."
Zhou Lihua was also frightened. She didn't expect the others to react so strongly. She was scolded until her face turned red and she felt ashamed.
Isn't she doing this for the family? If she can take over the spicy sesame oil, everyone will benefit, right?
"Don't even think about it! Otherwise, if your sister-in-law knew, what would she think of us?"
Chen Zhang was still dissatisfied, as she knew the temper of her third daughter-in-law too well.
She is not good at doing serious work, but she is good at being cunning, divisive, sarcastic and greedy.
Why did she marry such a daughter-in-law to the third son? She even brought up two children, Xiao He and Xiao Bao, astray.
Her eyes wandered between the two of them for a moment, and she secretly made up her mind: if Zhou Lihua really dared to do anything, don't blame her for divorcing her.
Zhou Lihua saw that she looked unhappy and was really angry, so she smiled and picked up some food for everyone, but she was full of complaints in her heart.
Xiao Ying was naturally unaware of the undercurrents in the old house. The next day, she wanted to take Ling Yun and Xiao Tian to the mountains to set up a formation, but she didn't expect that Ling Yun suddenly changed after taking the detoxification pill.
He actually broke through the shackles and recovered to the fifth level of Qi Refining in one go.
This is definitely a great event. The fifth level of Qi Refining is not weak. He can be a gold medal killer in the Dark Night Pavilion. This also means that the combat power around Xiao Ying has been improved again.
However, this was only the technique Ling Yun had practiced before. The "Seven-Series Hunyuan Gong" that Xiao Ying gave him was only at the third level of Qi Refining, so he still needed to work hard.
While Ling Yun was stabilizing his realm, Xiao Ying first ordered Xiao Xing and Xiao Kun to buy bricks and tiles, and to find a craftsman who was proficient in building houses.
If the pawnshop has it, it is best to buy it directly and then be responsible for building the sect hall.
If not, a confidentiality agreement must be signed and the matters concerning the sect hall must not be disclosed.
As for the manpower to build the sect's main hall, they can be directly selected from the people living at the foot of the mountain and those in the immortal palace.
The indentures of these people are in her hands, so there is no need to worry about others talking about them.
The next day, after Lingyun's realm was stabilized, Xiao Ying immediately took the two of them to the mountains.
I haven't been here for a long time, and the people who were sent to the mountains have actually completed the land reclamation and planted various crops in the fields.
Nearly twenty acres were opened up in areas with large populations, and at least four or five acres were opened up in areas with small populations, totaling about one hundred and twenty acres.
However, compared to the huge canyon, it is only a small piece. At least one or two thousand acres can be reclaimed in this area. Xiao Ying thought that he would have to buy some more people when he has time.
After visiting the land reclamation, Xiao Ying ordered Ling Yun and Xiao Tian to start working.
The two of them still buried spirit stones, but this time the number had doubled. Both the spirit gathering formation and the mountain protection formation required 72 spirit stones to be buried, and the number of low-grade spirit stones in each place increased from one to three. After all, the area covered was much larger than the house.
Xiao Ying had no choice. If possible, she would rather use mid-grade or even high-grade spirit stones.
This is already an intermediate-level formation, which is even more complex and difficult to understand. Even in the world of immortal cultivation in the previous life, it would take at least a Jindan cultivator to comprehend it.
Therefore, Xiao Ying is very confident in these two formations. Once the mountain protection formation is activated, even if the cultivators of this world join forces, they probably won't be able to break in!
