Chapter 144: Sorry for your trouble
"Mom, let me go and talk to her."
Su Wan had nothing to worry about anyway, so she might as well go and talk to Grandma Liu herself. She couldn't just yell at a little girl like her.
"Wanwan, with her personality, you'll be wronged if you go, so let me go!"
Su's mother has seen through it all. She can't stand her good temper, so let Wanwan take her place.
Forget it, she couldn't bear to see her suffer this injustice.
"Mom, I'll go with Wanwan, you just stay at home."
The usually gentle fifth brother Su Yi suddenly spoke with a gentle smile on his face.
There is no doubt that he is the most cautious and careful person. Su Wan feels relieved to have him accompany her.
"Ayi, if you stay with Wanwan, I'll be relieved."
Su Yi's smile deepened when he heard this. There was a dimple on the left corner of his mouth, which was faintly visible, making his smile look more approachable.
"Wanwan, what are you going to do with this peach blossom? Let your aunt help you!"
Aunt Wu Juan felt that her family was eating and drinking for free at her sister's house every day and seeking shelter, so she had to do more work to avoid being disliked.
"Aunt, please wash the peach blossoms with water, dry half of them in the sun, and distill the other half into pure water when I come back."
Su Wan was not polite either. Since he intended to train his uncle's family to be managers of the Youzhou workshop, he would start from now on and take it slow.
In the early stages, don't let them get involved in the main processes. Only after you are sure you can fully trust them can you discuss other things.
"Okay, Qingqing, let's go get some water with mom to wash the flowers."
The aunt put the child in the baby stool for children. This stool was the one that Gu Yue sat on when she was a child.
At that time, Su's father was so happy because he had a daughter that he specially asked a carpenter to do it. However, his five brothers did not receive such treatment.
Now, little Yang Qin is still young, only two years old, so this baby chair was pulled out from the corner, cleaned and given to him to sit and play on.
Yang Qingqing is also very hardworking. Her life at her aunt's house is very happy and lively. The meals are very good every day, and there is meat to eat every day. Her cousin Wanwan is also very nice, and she always feels sweet when she sleeps with her at night.
What's more, my cousin is so amazing. She knows a lot and can do a lot. My mother asked her to learn from her.
Here, she does not have the worries of the county magistrate's son. Although she is still afraid when she thinks about it sometimes, she is no longer afraid when she sees these cousins.
Su Wan and Su Yi soon arrived at Grandma Liu's house. Her house was an old thatched house that looked shabby. After her two sons got married, they built new houses and moved in, leaving her alone to live. She usually grew some vegetables, and her two sons gave her 100 kilograms of food each year.
When she saw Su Wan coming, she was washing something under the eaves. As soon as Su Wan and Su Yi stepped into the yard, her water splashed over.
Seeing this, Su Yi quickly pulled Su Wan away so that they were not splashed with dirty water.
Grandma Liu rolled her eyes and said unhappily:
"I'm sorry to bother you with all the trouble. You've been running back and forth for my little piece of land. I'm telling you, I won't sell it to you unless you give me twenty taels of silver. So stop talking nonsense, or you'll say I scolded you kids badly."
When Grandma Liu saw that it was Su Wan, she restrained herself and didn't say anything harsh.
"Grandma Liu, let's be frank. I'll be frank. My mother and I have discussed it and decided to trade our half-acre of land by the river for your half-acre. I'll also give you two taels of silver as compensation for the loss. The vegetables we harvest from the land won't be yours.
Our half-acre of land is next to the river, and we dug a ditch to divert water. It's very convenient for watering, and the land is more fertile. You're old, and every time you carry water to water the vegetables, you have to go around several ridges. Not only is it unsafe, but it's also very tiring. We also know that you rely on that land to grow vegetables for your living, so we understand and came up with this idea. We'll suffer a little loss, but it will be more convenient for you. Do you think it's feasible?"
After hearing this, Grandma Liu rolled her eyes, but still didn't look at the brother and sister with a favorable look:
"Can you be so kind? That riverside land is so good, and you're willing to trade it with me, and even give me two taels of silver as compensation? What about the other families?"
It seems that Grandma Liu is not confused and knows to let the other families know that they cannot do this?
"Of course I am willing. Once we say something, it's hard to take it back. As long as you keep quiet, how will others know?
If you think it's possible, just tell us straight out. We're straightforward people and won't beat around the bush. In short, we won't let you suffer any loss. Isn't that sincere enough?"
As soon as Su Wan appeared, you could tell whether she was capable or not. She was a cute and likable person, and her voice was soft and sweet, as if a feather was tickling your heart. Even a domineering person like Grandma Liu couldn't help but soften her tone.
"Since you're all so sincere, how can I not agree? I'm telling you, if we exchange this land, we can't exchange it back."
After weighing the pros and cons, Grandma Liu agreed. It just so happened that it was time to sow new vegetable seeds. Not only could she move to a better and more convenient vegetable plot, but she could also earn two taels of silver. Why not?
Sometimes, Su Wan would rather spend some money and not waste time. If he hadn't spent that much time on arguing, the workshop would have been built.
It's only two taels of silver, so just consider it a good deed.
"Okay, Grandma Liu is a straightforward person. I'll ask my brother to help you harvest the vegetables in the field. After they're harvested, I'll ask them to bring them back to you, okay?"
The field is full of winter cabbages, each one is very big and quite heavy.
Su Yi followed Su Wan here, but he didn't ask him to do anything, so the matter was easily resolved.
Su Yi and Su Chen helped Grandma Liu harvest the vegetables in the field and brought them back to her. Grandma Liu was very happy and happily changed the field. The next morning, she carried a hoe and went to dig the soil in the new vegetable field.
Su Wan asked his father to ask his master to find an auspicious day for the groundbreaking ceremony, and then go to the brick kiln to order bricks. He then fenced off the land in front of the yard, built a few rooms inside as warehouses, and made an indoor workshop so that there would be no place to make soap when it rained.
It's just a temporary workshop. We just need to build a foundation and surround it. Then we can lay bluestone slabs inside the wall to make a clean and spacious yard. Then we can ask a carpenter to make some wooden racks to be used for drying goat milk soap.
Now that the workshop problem has been solved, this batch of goat milk soap can be packaged.
I asked my uncle and Jiang Sheng and his wife to learn how to package goat milk soap together, so that when there are a lot of orders in the future, we can get started right away.
Tomorrow morning, Su Wan will ask his third brother to drive him to the county grocery store in a horse-drawn carriage to deliver soap, and then go to the grain and oil store to talk to the boss about the regular delivery of almond oil.
I also need to buy a lot of miscellaneous things, and by the way, I will go to the county pharmacy to buy soapberries to make hair soap.
Her camellia and goat milk hair soap is about to be launched on the market.
