Chapter 237 Divide the Silver
Lu Qiniang thought to herself, after all, we can’t sleep on the same kang.
Too close.
Also, when she lived in Tonghuafang, when she went to the river to wash clothes, she would hear married women talking about men without any scruples.
She was very embarrassed at the time, but the wind also carried those swear words into her ears.
It seems that men turn into beasts when they see women. They don't care whether they are beautiful or ugly as long as they are in the mood.
The man from Tonghuafang Yizhihua was also involved with a fat woman selling tofu, and the situation was unclear.
Lu Qiniang originally thought that the man was blind.
She thought she was safe like this.
As a result, they slept on the same kang and something went wrong.
It turns out men are not picky!
No, no.
In the past, conditions did not allow us to just sleep like this. Now that I have made some money this year, it would be best to move to a new house so that everyone can have their own room.
Also, Xiao Yan actually seduced her.
Oh my god!
What is this!
Xiao Yan calmed down and took a good sleep. He would probably regret it so much that he would bang his head against the wall tomorrow.
It’s okay, it’s okay, she didn’t mention it.
Just like Ah Huang, every time he goes into heat, he’ll be fine after a few days.
Mom, stop thinking about that and go to bed quickly. You have to work tomorrow.
Her heart is getting worse and worse. It keeps beating for no reason.
The next morning, Xiao Yan was full of hope that Lu Qinniang would be a little different from before, after all, he had been so straightforward.
But unexpectedly, Lu Qiniang acted as if nothing had happened.
Is this right?
Xiao Yan was confused, but he had nowhere to turn to.
Lu Qiniang immersed herself in the fireworks display, and it seemed that the two of them had little chance to talk to each other afterwards.
Business is booming, it's a mess.
But even so, Lu Qiniang did not give up on products such as the Lianzhupao that are popular among the general public.
Firstly, Xiong Da and his men needed work to do, and secondly, she also wanted to save face and didn't want to give the market to Cheng Jiuwan and Shouhou and his men for nothing.
If you don't fight for the steamed buns, you fight for your dignity!
I would rather make less money than let them make all the money. Is that fair?
Anyway, I won’t lose money and there’s still profit to be made, so I’ll just keep doing it.
After settling the accounts at the end of the year, Lu Qiniang plans to divide half of the profits among Xiong Da and the others.
She just needs to keep less.
The fireworks business was busy until the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month.
Logically speaking, they could have worked for a few more days, but everyone was really exhausted, and there was no end to the money they could make.
Under Xiao Yan's persuasion, Lu Qiniang reluctantly announced that her life for this year would end here.
She had never felt so tired and so happy in a winter.
For the first time, she also tasted the joy of earning hundreds of taels of silver a day.
There was not a day that she did not dream of counting silver.
After a final calculation, the fireworks business earned a total of 24,000 taels of silver, and Lu Qiniang received 12,000 taels.
The Yunting and Jiang families each received 4,800 taels, and Lei Longzi received 2,400 taels.
Yun Ting looked at the banknote, didn't react, and put it away.
He also has to go home for the New Year.
He had to figure out how to turn these 4,800 taels into 10,000 taels.
If nothing unexpected happens, the money he spends on his elders will be returned double.
This time he didn't pretend in front of his grandmother.
Give it to him and he will definitely keep it.
As for what to do with the extra money, Yun Ting hasn't thought about it yet. He just enjoys the process of the amount increasing.
Jiang Yi should also be satisfied because she added a dowry to Daya, which was probably worth five hundred taels of silver.
The most unbelievable one was Lei the Deaf.
His voice was trembling, "Abandoned Mother, Abandoned Mother, are these really all for me?"
"Yes, it's all for you. You've worked hard and made great contributions, so this is what we agreed on before." Lu Qiniang smiled and said, "It's time for you to go home for the New Year. Sew the banknotes into your underwear, and then wear it in rags-"
She gave him some advice.
"No, no, no," said the deaf man, "I can't travel with so many banknotes. No, it's too dangerous."
He would be so upset if something went wrong along the way that he could not earn the money with such hard work that he would be vomiting to death.
Lu Qiniang originally wanted to suggest finding a security company, but she was afraid that Lei Longzi would be reluctant to spend money, so she swallowed her words and just said, "What should we do then?"
Unexpectedly, Lei the Deaf said, "I'm not going home for the New Year. I'm going to look for a house these two days, either to rent or to buy. I'll send a letter home, asking them to pack up and come to the capital."
Lu Qiniang looked at him in shock.
Because everyone is actually attached to their land, and unless forced to do so by a famine, few people are willing to leave their hometown.
But Lei Longzi's decision was sudden and decisive.
"I was thinking," Lei Longzi said a little embarrassedly, "everything in the capital is good. When I have this money, I will bring my nephew and son to the capital. They can study or learn a craft. It's better than digging for food in the soil at home. Qi Niang, will you still work next year? If you still do, I will follow you. If you don't, I think this money will be enough to settle down for ten or twenty years, and I can find a little work at least."
"Yes, of course!" Lu Qiniang said, "But next year, business won't be as good as this year. You know, novelty only lasts for a short time. But if we can't make 20,000 taels next year, can we still make 2,000 taels? I actually wanted to ask you to stay before, but I was embarrassed."
He became an instant hit this year, and maybe next year someone will offer a higher price to "poach" Lei Longzi.
If the price is high, the risk is actually quite high, so Lu Qiniang is ready to give up.
"Abandoned Mother, don't worry. As long as you do it, I'll follow you. No matter how much others offer, I won't go." Lei Longzi said excitedly, "Including them, we've agreed to follow you next year. We'll do whatever you do, as long as you don't mind!"
In addition to the wages, Lu Qiniang gave each person an extra ten taels of silver. The other two people received a sheep, as well as snacks and fabrics from the capital...
When they each returned, they would all have an unprecedentedly prosperous year.
Lu Qi Niang laughed and said, "Okay! If you don't despise me, I will lead you to work hard! We will have our own livelihood in the spring, and we will get better and better!"
Dad, Mom, I have made some progress.
You always say I'm stupid, but the better thing is that I'm honest.
Now, a stupid and honest man like me can support more than forty families.
