The village head initially trusted Shen Qingyu's words, but the villagers kept coming to ask him, "Can you guarantee it?"
Uncle Lizheng then felt uneasy.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Uncle Lizheng and several clan elders came to Shen Qingyu's house to pay their respects, which surprised Shen Qingyu's entire family!
"Uncle Village Head, you are an elder, why are you here to wish us a Happy New Year?"
The village head and several elders adopted a very humble attitude: "Princess Qingyu is now granted an imperial title by the court. Although she never takes any money from our Shenjia Village, we common people can't just pretend that this title doesn't exist..."
That's not wrong.
Shen Qingyu didn't mention that, but instead took out various prepared foods to entertain the elders and prepared to cook for them.
Xiao Taohua quickly stopped her: "I'll go cook! You're a princess, just rest."
The elders weren't there for the meal, and they all said there was no need to be polite.
Xiao Taohua and Shen Dasong quickly went to the back kitchen to get busy.
When the young couple returned home and discussed it, they were afraid that if they didn't take good care of her, Shen Qingyu would dislike them and they would lose their livelihood.
Therefore, the couple paid their respects to Shen Qingyu early on the first day of the Lunar New Year and then came to help out at her home.
Shen Qingyu didn't compete for it and sat down to chat with the elders.
As they talked about last year's harvest and this year's plans, the elders looked expectantly at Shen Qingyu and Qi Yunxiao. Uncle Lizheng, being the clan head, spoke on behalf of everyone.
“Qingyu, the men in the village have never lived such a good life before. Now that they hear you're leaving, they're all worried that this good life will be over…”
As the village head was speaking, he felt embarrassed and quickly tried to smooth things over: "I already told them, how could you, a princess, change your mind? But they're inexperienced and still worried, so they came to get a definite answer..."
Shen Qingyu laughed: "I can understand."
Thinking of the private discussions she had with her parents and husband, Shen Qingyu began to explain.
While sweet potato flour workshops and chili pepper workshops can be done anywhere, it's better to stay put and do it here instead of having to find a new location or trustworthy people.
Therefore, these two workshops will definitely not be moved.
The soap factory's production capacity is increasingly unable to meet the growing demand from the public, so opening another soap factory overseas is a viable option.
However, the new workshop does not affect the output of the soap workshop in Hengshui Town.
As for the porcelain workshop, it can be operated here. Once it grows large enough, it can directly rely on the general stores of Guiyunlou and Yuji to sell its products nationwide.
He told the elders what he could say, and everyone was relieved.
However, there's no way to produce bean sprouts.
Since Shen Qingyu is no longer here, and the magical effects of the spiritual spring water are gone, there's no need for people to pay high prices for ordinary bean sprouts.
However, this does not affect the income of the people in Shenjia Village, and Shen Qingyu will not say it out loud.
The elders were relieved, and Xiao Taohua had also prepared a meal. A sumptuous meal, paired with low-alcohol rice wine prepared by Shen Qingyu, made the elders and the village head very happy. They left feeling dizzy and lightheaded.
As soon as he returned to Uncle Lizheng's house, he was surrounded by villagers who came to inquire about the news.
After Uncle Lizheng explained Shen Qingyu's words, the villagers felt much more at ease.
But some people still felt uneasy: "What if she's just trying to fool us and quietly moved away?"
The village head, having drunk some wine, spoke more bluntly: "According to you, you want a princess to sign and seal your document in person for it to be valid? You dare to ask her to do it?"
That person then fell silent.
After everyone left, Uncle Village Head fell into a deep sleep...
Shen Qingyu also drank a little wine, feeling weak all over, somewhat excited, with bright eyes and rosy cheeks, wanting to speak.
Shen Qingyu grabbed Zhao Yuzhu to speak, but Qi Yunxiao pried her hand away: "If you've had your drink, go back to your room and sleep. Why are you bothering your mother-in-law?"
"I want to have a private talk with my mother," Shen Qingyu chuckled, still unwilling to give up.
Qi Yunxiao simply carried the person back to the room: "We'll talk about it after you sober up!"
Zhao Yuzhu chuckled and nudged Shen Zhongyi with her elbow: "It's good to be young."
Shen Zhongyi objected: "What? You think I'm too old?"
Zhao Yuzhu realized what was happening, blushed, and slapped Shen Zhongyi's arm: "Don't talk nonsense! Be careful someone hears you!"
"I've been drinking, can't I take a nap?" Shen Zhongyi glared at him and turned to walk into the house.
Zhao Yuzhu: "!!!"
Shen Zhongyi took two steps, then turned back to look at Zhao Yuzhu: "What? Aren't you sleepy after drinking?"
Zhao Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, then looked around, both amused and exasperated, before quickly catching up: "Keep your voice down..."
"We're an old married couple, what's there to be afraid of?" Shen Zhongyi was completely unafraid.
Zhao Yuzhu punched him in the arm, afraid he would say something inappropriate again, so she had no choice but to follow him inside.
Da Bao wanted to play with his parents, but Xiao Taohua, who was sitting in the yard making shoe insoles, stopped him: "Da Bao, your parents have been drinking and are sleepy. They've already taken a nap. Why don't you go play with Er Bao and Xiao Bao first..."
Hearing the noise, Shen Qingyu, who was taking a nap, punched Qi Yunxiao: "I told you not to mess around!"
Qi Yunxiao denied it: "Marital relations are a matter of course, how can it be considered nonsense?"
Shen Qingyu: "You always have a reason... ah..."
Da Bao, who was about to go find Er Bao and Xiao Bao, immediately stopped and ran towards his parents' room: "Aunt Tao Hua, I heard my mother's voice, she's awake!"
"Hey hey hey..."
Xiao Taohua didn't stop her, and said helplessly: I really tried my best!
Qi Yunxiao listened to the sound of pounding on the door and felt very regretful: I should have known better than to do something so stupid.
Now things are really messed up, stuck in limbo...
In the end, he got dressed, got up, and opened the door.
"Dad, Mom, Erbao, Xiaobao, and I made something to give you," Dabao said excitedly.
Afraid that her daughter might notice something, Shen Qingyu quickly replied, "Where?"
"Come with me!" Da Bao said, waving his hand before turning and running back towards the triplets' room.
Shen Qingyu quickly turned around and called Qi Yunxiao to follow.
As soon as the couple entered the door, they saw Xiao Bao holding a puppy in his arms and talking to it in a low voice!
Seeing his parents approach, Xiao Bao proudly held the puppy high in the air, exclaiming, "Dad, Mom, this is a gift we found by the mountainside! It's for you!"
Shen Qingyu, unsuspecting, curiously stepped forward and picked up the fluffy little puppy: "Oh dear, it's so small, has it been weaned yet?"
Qi Yunxiao's expression changed: "Where did this little wolf cub come from?"
Xiao Bao's smile froze: "It was...it was given to me by the mother wolf from the back mountain..."
Shen Qingyu froze, holding the little wolf cub, unsure whether to drop it or continue holding it.
Erbao glanced at his mother casually and suddenly said, "Xiaobao, I can't raise this wolf cub anymore..."
