Chapter 197 Good Atmosphere
The villagers were all excited and looked at Su Xueyi with fiery eyes, as if Su Xueyi was already a high-ranking official in the court.
When Su Xueyi saw the good news handed over by the yamen runner, a faint smile appeared on her face.
Shen Yueyao was happy for Su Xueyi, and a smile appeared on her face.
She hurriedly took out the silver she had prepared long ago, stuffed it into the hands of the yamen runner, and said a few polite words.
When the yamen runner saw the silver in his hand, the smile on his face became more sincere.
Mainly, they come to the village so that they know the actual living conditions of the villagers.
Unexpectedly, this Mr. Su came from a well-off family and was generous enough to take out several taels of silver at once.
"I wish Mr. Su will pass the imperial examination in the future."
After some polite words, the yamen runner left.
The villagers also came forward happily to congratulate them.
Old Madam Meng and Su Erya also hurried back from the workshop. When they heard the news, they were so excited that they were speechless.
Su Erya has learned a lot from Shen Yueyao, and is now much calmer when encountering things.
The joy and excitement in my heart were only revealed on my face.
In the past, she would excitedly go up to hug her Third Aunt and talk and jump around.
But she was really happy in her heart.
Her third uncle actually passed the exam.
He is still the top student. He will move up step by step and one day he will be on the list of successful candidates.
She didn't know why, but she firmly believed that her third uncle would get the top score in the exam.
Perhaps she had such confidence because of her Third Aunt.
She is now much more confident in doing things on her own.
The villagers were excited and happy, and were discussing it lively.
"Just say that Master Su is talented and knowledgeable. It's fine if he doesn't take the test, but he will be the first one if he takes the test."
"Our village has a first case, it's really exciting."
"Congratulations, Mr. Su."
"I should say I wish Mr. Su success in his future."
"Get the top prize."
The villagers were talking and it was lively, it felt like a festival.
There were a lot of copper coins in Shen Yueyao's space. She took them out and threw them out, saying, "This is wedding money. Everyone can share in the good luck and hope that their children and grandchildren will become successful."
The villagers were so happy.
Everyone rushed to grab the wedding money, thinking that if they got it, their children and grandchildren would be able to succeed in the future.
The person who got it laughed and said, "I got it. Thank you, Mr. Su, thank you, Mr. Su."
When Shen Yueyao heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched.
But he was really happy in his heart, not because Su Xueyi got the title of scholar, but because Su Xueyi's knowledge was put to good use.
Shen Yueyao discussed it with Madam Meng and decided to hold a banquet.
The village holds a buffet and invites the whole village to dinner, which only requires about fifteen or sixteen tables.
After the discussion, Su Xueyi said loudly, "Everyone, get ready. We're inviting the entire village to a banquet tonight. It's a buffet. Everyone, come and show your support. Don't bring anything. We won't charge anything."
Everyone was happy when they heard that they could have a buffet.
What's more, it was a buffet where Master Su won the first place, so naturally I was happy.
After a long period of excitement, the villagers went back.
Everyone wanted to come over early in the afternoon to help.
Although Shen Yueyao said she didn't want anything, the villagers also wanted to bring some chicken, duck, vegetables, etc. when they came in the afternoon.
You can't eat it for free.
Besides, everyone’s life is getting better now, so they don’t need these little things.
Some business people and others also heard the news and sent people to deliver things.
There are also gifts of silver and house deeds.
When Mrs. Meng saw this, her expression changed.
Now that Shen Yueyao is the head of the family, Madam Meng feels that she shouldn't accept these things, but she doesn't feel comfortable saying anything.
It was Shen Yueyao who took the initiative to speak: "Mother, we can't accept these. If my husband accepts these, they will use this as an excuse to ask my husband to help them with things in the future, and it will be difficult to refuse."
"Besides, our family is getting better and better. If we want to buy a house in the capital city in the future, we will be able to afford it."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Meng felt relieved.
She felt that she was overthinking it. Her daughter-in-law was a knowledgeable and capable person, so she would naturally not be dazzled by such things.
She smiled and said, "Yao Niang, I'll leave these to you. I'm relieved."
Shen Yueyao asked her fourth brother to arrange for someone to send all the gifts back.
Some of the things that were delivered on the spot had not yet left, but Shen Yueyao had them taken back directly.
She spoke with a smile and no one could find any fault with her.
Many people wanted to curry favor with Su Xueyi, but failed.
Some businessmen know that no matter how good they are at business, they still need people in the officialdom.
It is not easy to establish connections with some officials.
So they thought of Su Xueyi. They felt that Su Xueyi came from the countryside and had no foundation, so she also needed their help. Besides, the person who could get the first place in the exam might be able to take part in the palace examination and get into the second place, which would make it much easier for him to become an official.
It is not so easy to curry favor with this person after he becomes an official, but it is still easy to establish a good relationship with him before he becomes an official.
Who would have thought that Su Xiucai's family would not do things according to common sense.
They looked at the gifts that were sent back and could only sigh.
Even if the other person doesn't accept gifts, they dare not offend such a person.
…
The atmosphere in the workshop is also very good.
Since we received our wages and bonuses, everyone has been working harder these days.
Everyone worked hard.
Those who don’t go home for lunch, don’t take a break after lunch, and continue to work.
The work efficiency of the workshop has been greatly improved.
During lunch, everyone would get together and chat.
"Lin Shanhua, the meat buns you brought smell so good."
"Didn't you bring chicken legs too? They're good stuff too."
"This is all because of receiving my salary and bonus. Life at home has improved. My husband killed a chicken specifically for me to nourish my body. He couldn't bear to eat the chicken legs, so he gave them all to me. Even my son and daughter insisted that I eat them. Fortunately, now everyone at home can have enough to eat. I can work here and don't have to miss home."
"Who says it's not? We have a big family that has never been divided. There are many sisters-in-law, and they always compete with each other. My mother-in-law used to ignore me and never treated me well. But now, she smiles when she sees me, and is polite and caring to me. My status in the family is completely different."
"You're diligent and efficient at work. I've heard your two sisters-in-law are lazy and like to take advantage of others. When they came to the interview with you, the boss saw that and didn't use them."
"I'm most grateful to my employer now. It's because of this job that my three children can now have enough to eat. A few days ago, I received my salary bonus and we made dumplings in the evening. My three children all ate a big plate and were so happy. In the past, I couldn't bear not to make so many dumplings even during Chinese New Year."
"This is the first time I've received salary and bonuses. I'll receive them every month from now on, and life will get even better."
"Yes, yes, our boss is capable. I don't know what kind of work is done in the second workshop. I heard that Zheng Xiaoju is going to be promoted to the second workshop as a manager."
"That's because Zheng Xiaoju works quickly and well. Even though the boss doesn't come here often, he knows everything about who's working and what's going on in the workshop."
