Time flies and it is the end of the year again. The winery in the city is settling accounts at the end of the year. Wang Yu looked at the account book and found that the profit for two months was as much as three thousand taels. He could get six hundred taels of it. This was only half a year of aging. The profit for the whole year next year would be even more.
Chenxiu Pavilion subsequently received two more large orders, and by the end of the year the surplus was more than 620 taels. Now they have more than 1,220 taels in their hands. Last month, Wang Yu went to the pawnshop to buy the shop and spent 190 taels. He has spent some more and now he still has more than 1,000 taels in his hands.
In the following months, the village winery earned more than 380 taels of silver. Wang Yu asked his father to use the money to buy some more land, and they finally had more money.
The provincial school will be on holiday on the 20th of the twelfth lunar month and will resume on the 16th of the first lunar month of the following year.

Wang Yu's actions made them very happy, and they could buy more things for their families when they returned home this year.

After getting along with each other for a few months, they became familiar with each other. There was also a kitchen in the courtyard, and the three families were happily preparing to buy things for the New Year. With money in their hands, they didn't have to look at other people's faces, and their lives became much easier.
