After telling Cai Damei, Ye Yunniang took the finished embroidery to the Baise Embroidery Shop.
Passing by Zhou's shop, Ye Yunniang quickened her pace and crossed over.
There were no customers at the Baise embroidery shop at the moment, so Baise checked everything one by one.
"I knew I hadn't misjudged you." Baise was very satisfied and took out 3 taels and 2 mace of silver to give to Ye Yunniang.
Ye Yunniang took it and put it away.
"Manager Baise, I'd like to take more custom orders in the future." Ye Yunniang calculated that she spent about the same amount of time embroidering handkerchiefs and screens, but the profits were much different.
"Okay, I'll keep an eye out for you later." Customized jobs can make a lot of money in Baise.
This time, no custom embroidery was made. Ye Yunniang used the materials for 100 handkerchiefs and planned to finish them by the end of the year.
Ye Yunniang came out carrying a bundle and bumped into Zhang Cai'er, who was walking out of the shop.
Upon seeing Ye Yunniang, Zhang Cai'er turned and quickly left.
Ye Yunniang withdrew her gaze, returned home, and handed the money she had earned to Cai Damei.
"Keep the money you earn for yourself." Cai Damei refused to take it; Li Jun's matter had been making her feel bad these past few days.
"I kept two qian of silver." Ye Yunniang insisted on handing over the three taels of silver in her hand to Cai Damei.
Seeing that Ye Yunniang was genuinely offering the gift, Cai Damei accepted it. She opened the drawer, took out a box, and opened it. Inside was half a box of loose silver and copper coins.
Cai Damei put 3 taels of silver into the box.
"Our family's money is all here. Take it if you need it."
Ye Yunniang nodded and recounted her meeting with Zhang Cai'er that day.
When Cai Damei thought back to that day, she went to talk to Cai Xiaomei about it and what she said.
“My family members aren’t outsiders. I never hide anything from my family.”
“My family won’t tell anyone. I’ve wanted to say this for a long time: you’re showing off the money your daughter-in-law earns from breastfeeding. Now that something’s happened, how dare you blame me?”
"You came to Jiangcheng, and I've been running around helping you. And I even made a mistake in helping you. It's like my good intentions were wasted."
...
Cai Damei made a decision: "From now on, we should have less contact with the Zhou family."
