New Year's Eve.
Tangli gave each of the four babies a red envelope.
"Happy New Year, babies! Eat well and grow taller in the new year."
The children happily received the red envelopes.
"Thank you, mother."
"Thank you, mother~"
"Thank you, mother!"
Three babyish voices sounded one after another.
The little ones all had smiles on their faces. They had never received red envelopes during the Chinese New Year!
"Thank you, sister. Our lives will definitely get better and better!" Xu Jue said.
After his father passed away, he thought he would be a wanderer forever, but he never expected that he would have a second home. He loved this home and his family very much. He wanted to grow up quickly, protect his family, and make this home better and better.
Xu Jue had been to school and could speak, and his words touched Tang Li's heart.
Tangli patted his little head and said, "Yes, it will get better and better, and the babies will become more and more powerful."
The family of six spent the New Year happily.
As soon as the New Year passed, Tangli's medicine sachet factory officially started operations.
The five adobe houses are now clean and tidy. One room is filled with medicinal herbs, while another room is filled with cloth and needles and thread.
In the yard, standing in front of Tangli were Doctor Su, Madam Su, the five hired embroiderers, and Lanhuaer. It was a very lively scene.
As the boss, Tangli gave a speech at the opening ceremony.
"We are all from the same village and know each other, but starting today, our relationship is different. From today on, we are family. We must work together to make this medicine capsule factory a success!"
"Our business will continue to grow, and when that happens, everyone will be able to eat meat at every meal!"
“Eat meat every meal?”
This is too tempting. Meat is a luxury and they can only afford to eat it during festivals. If they could really eat meat every day, how rich would they be?
"As long as everyone works hard and pulls together, we will definitely succeed."
Tang Li's voice was sonorous and powerful, and extremely convincing, and several women were moved to excitement by her words.
"But I have to be frank with you. If there are people who are cunning, lazy, and only hold us back, don't blame me for being intolerant." A layer of frost covered Tang Li's face.
After giving her a sweet date, of course she also had to hit her with a club. She couldn't let people think that this money was easy to make and that she was easy to cheat.
She looks cold and intimidating.
"No, we will do it well!"
"Just to be able to eat meat every meal, we will work hard!"
After Tangli's speech, everyone was excited and full of fighting spirit.
This is a good start.
Mrs. Su and Doctor Su are the backbone of this medicine capsule factory.
Mrs. Su was in charge of the embroidery, while Doctor Su was in charge of distributing the medicine. Because the latter required delicate work and confidentiality, and since they couldn't find anyone suitable quickly, Doctor Su took the initiative and asked Tang Li to do it himself. The couple slept in the medicine bag factory at night, just in time to watch over the fabric and medicinal materials.
In fact, Doctor Su had a secret little idea, which was that by staying in the medicine capsule factory, he could also see his wife more often.
Of course, at his age, he was too embarrassed to express this shameful thought out loud.
…
After a busy day, Tangli paid the day's wages.
Each of the five embroiderers completed one embroidery piece, so each of them received one hundred coins.
The embroiderers' eyes lit up with joy when they received the hundred coins. Wei Qing's wife was truly their God of Wealth. She gave them money as she said she would!
The embroiderers left happily, thinking that they would come back tomorrow to find some more and do more work.
Lanhuaer walked last, tidying up her room. She came here to learn something, and her mother told her to be more diligent.
"Lanhuaer, this is for you." Tangli stuffed fifty cents into Lanhuaer's hand.
Lanhua was stunned holding the fifty cents.
Lan Huaer came back to her senses, shaking her head as she tried to stuff the money back into Tang Li's pocket: "Ahhhhhhh..."
"You've already filled half of your wallet with a day's wages. I'll give you a commission once it's all done."
Lanhuaer wanted to stuff it back to Tangli.
"Lanhua'er, this is your wages. Don't you want to stop working for me?"
"Ah!" Lanhua shook her head even more violently.
"Lanhuaer, this is the money you earned. You did a good job and this is a reward. If you didn't do a good job, I wouldn't give you any money. Take this money back and buy a nice meal for your grandparents." Tang Li patted Lanhuaer on the shoulder and said.
Lanhua then put the money away. Her eyes were red and she couldn't help but cry.
"Why are you crying? Work hard and you will earn more money in the future. Your grandparents won't have to do hard labor anymore and you will be the one supporting them."
Her grandfather still had to work in the fields at his old age, and her grandmother had to go to the town to wash clothes for people. She earned a few cents a day, which could only be exchanged for a few coarse flour buns. She felt sorry for her grandparents, but she was mute and timid, so she could not help them at all.
She held the fifty coins in her hand. She really made money! She thought, she must work hard to support her grandparents and not let Sister Tangli down!
…
Lanhuaer walked back holding the fifty cents tightly. As she walked, she suddenly bumped into someone.
Then she was kicked in the stomach.
"Are you dumb and blind? Can't you see where you are going?"
These two people are Du Xiaohe and Li Tiemu.
After they sold the house to Wei Qing and Tang Li, they kept an eye on it every day, waiting for Tang Li to get into trouble.
As a result, unexpectedly, their lives became more and more prosperous.
Du Xiaohe was furious. Her house was in great condition, but it was bought for twenty taels. She felt that she had been taken advantage of and she had to get it back.
Lanhua was kicked so hard that she felt pain. She looked at Du Xiaohe with some fear.
Du Xiaohe and her grandmother didn't get along, and they often quarreled. Du Xiaohe couldn't win the argument, so she kicked her when her grandmother was not around.
Lanhuaer couldn't say anything and couldn't complain, so she could only get beaten in vain.
"You dumb thing, what are you holding in your hand?" Du Xiaohe saw Lanhua'er holding something and came over. Lanhua'er's hand retreated, so she grabbed it and saw a string of copper coins inside.
Du Xiaohe was blinded by the sight of money: "Where did you get the money, you dumb guy? Give it to me now!"
Lanhuaer held on tightly to his hands, refusing to give in even at death.
"Ahhhh!" She screamed as if her throat was going to break.
When Du Xiaohe saw that the mute woman had so much strength that she couldn't pry the clothes open, Li Tiemu also took action. The couple shamelessly snatched money from a mute girl.
When Tangli heard the roar, he came out and saw this scene.
She yelled at the top of her lungs, "Money is being robbed, money is being robbed!"
When she shouted, all the neighbors and passers-by looked over.
No matter how shameless Du Xiaohe was, he felt embarrassed to be watched by so many people, and quickly let go of Lanhua.
"What do you mean by robbing money? We were just joking with this dumb guy."
Du Xiaohe looked at Tangli with a sinister look on his face.
"Wei Qing, your business is booming." He walked past Tang Li and into the yard, looking around as if he were looking at his own home. "Looking at it this way, my house is pretty good. Look at the wall and the big yard. Oh, you're even drying bacon here."
As Du Xiaohe spoke, he took down a piece of bacon and held it in his hand.
"How can you have the nerve to give me such a nice house for only twenty taels of silver? However, we are all honest people and we can't do anything to ask for the house back. How about this, Wei Qing family, you just give us thirty taels of silver and we'll bear the loss."
Tangli had never seen anyone so shameless.
She is blackmailing!
"If you don't want to give it to me, then your uncle Tiemu and I will live here."
Du Xiaohe pushed open a door and saw a fully furnished table and chairs inside. This room was prepared by Tangli for Doctor Su and Madam Su to live in.
Du Xiaohe looked at the room, her eyes lit up, and she quickly called Li Tiemu to come over and say, "Boss, take a look at this room. It's perfect for the two of us."
