Chapter 505: A Good Way to Make Money
The Qian family can act so arrogantly in Yongfeng Village because of their youngest son who hides behind the county magistrate and takes advantage of his power.
If Qian Cheng really sent a letter to the general he had saved, he might really ask about it.
No matter how pretentious County Magistrate Tang was, he would not dare to put on airs in front of a third-rank official, let alone a small county magistrate.
"Ah Cheng, are you really going to be so heartless?"
Zhu Baoju was reluctant to part with the two hundred taels, but was afraid that her eldest son would really go and complain.
Even though Qian Ming is the county magistrate now, there is no guarantee that his son will be the county magistrate after Tang leaves...
After weighing the pros and cons, Qian Lizheng went to the bedroom with a gloomy face and took out two hundred taels of silver from the secret compartment.
Two hundred taels were nothing to him, after all, his youngest son gave him more than that in a year.
What he cared about was that his eldest son was so disregarding of feelings. He knew before that his eldest son was different from his other two sons. He had nothing to say about the situation today.
"Take your reward and get out of the Qian family!"
Zhu Baoju wanted to say something, but when she thought of her three sons, her attitude suddenly changed.
"The farther you get out of here, the better. I'm going to spread the word today. If anyone dares to sell your house and land in this village, I'll be surprised if I can make their family live well."
There were people standing outside the yard, and their faces changed drastically.
For them, no one should offend the village leader. The new Gu family members are capable, but they don’t.
When Qian Cheng returned to Guo's house, Guo Cuirong had already woken up in shock. When she learned that she was one and a half months pregnant, she burst into tears of joy.
Chang Fang used the medicine very accurately. After drinking a bowl of medicine, Guo Cuirong felt much better.
The family was so grateful to the two that they almost knelt down and kowtowed to them.
Chang Fang was already accustomed to the ancients' way of expressing gratitude, so he responded with a few words and handed the packed medicine in his hand to the old man Qian and his wife.
"Auntie, take this medicine twice a day. You will be fine after three doses. But try to stay as little active as possible until the fetus is stable."
"Yes, yes, we will definitely take good care of the people."
The Guo family was grateful that Qian Cheng was able to save his daughter despite the pressure from the Qian family. Qian Cheng took out twenty taels of silver and gave it to Ran Qingxuan as medical expenses.
"I hope Madam Gu won't think it's too little."
Twenty taels of silver as a medical fee is already an astronomical figure for these villagers.
After all, when they had headaches and fevers before, they would just endure it and it would go away. Only when they couldn't bear it anymore would they go see a barefoot doctor, and the total cost would not exceed a hundred coins.
Seeing Qian Cheng was so sincere, Ran Qingxuan simply pushed the money back.
"You can use this money to buy a house and good farmland, and take good care of your wife and children in the future. It will be worth our efforts to save them."
Naturally, she had no good feelings towards the Qian family, but Qian Cheng was a unique figure in the Qian family. Since he was showing goodwill, there was no reason for them to speak ill of him.
"Okay, now that you guys have settled the matter, we have to go back and rest."
Before leaving, Guo Cuirong forced herself to stand up and bowed to the two of them with tears of gratitude.
"Thank you, Mrs. Gu and this girl, for coming to the rescue. My child and I are so grateful."
Chang Fang waved her hands and said with a smile: "Since you are grateful, then take good care of your body and let the child grow up healthily."
"Okay, I will."
Guo Cuirong also suffered a lot of torture from the whole family. Although she was only 20 years old, she looked like a woman in her 30s.
When Ran Qingxuan and Chang Fang left, the villagers who were watching were extremely impressed by them.
But no matter how much people talked about it, it had nothing to do with them. After returning to the Gu family, several family members were also sighing over what had happened to the two.
"Fortunately, our family is sensible, otherwise we would be in big trouble if we had such sisters-in-law and parents-in-law."
Queen Ran Qingxuan secretly shook her head in her heart. It’s not about who is sensible and who is not, it’s all just due to human nature.
If a person with a good nature is put into a chaotic dye vat, if he sticks to his original heart, he will not be contaminated at all even if he is in the mud.
In short, no matter what, they just need to stick to their original intentions. They will be able to distinguish right from wrong.
After dinner, with nothing to do, several families went outside to check the building materials on the carriage, and they couldn't stop laughing.
There was a carriage near the door covered with oilcloth. Out of curiosity, the eldest sister-in-law lifted it up and took a look, and immediately let out a cry of surprise.
"This fabric is so beautiful, but why did you buy so much?"
When they heard about the beautiful fabric, the other sisters-in-law and the women from the two families all gathered around.
Chen Yue'er was twelve or thirteen years old, which was the time when she loved beauty. When she saw the colorful fabric, she couldn't let it go and touched it again and again.
"Is this still cloth? It's so soft and smooth, like... snowflakes... No, it feels like water."
When Ran Qingxuan saw the oilcloth being lifted and the fabric inside being visible to everyone, he simply took this opportunity to talk to everyone about making clothes.
"I have found a way for everyone to make money. I wonder if any of you sisters-in-law are willing to do it?"
When they heard that there was money to be made, everyone present was unwilling to do it.
The eldest sister-in-law spoke first: "I can do everything now, whether it's washing clothes, cooking or sewing and mending, it's all no problem..."
Unexpectedly, after she finished speaking, the second sister-in-law quickly said, "Hey... I can handle the cooking, and the eldest sister-in-law will do the sewing and mending."
"You all forget that I am the best at sewing and mending, and I have to do it."
The fifth sister-in-law hugged Xuan'er and joked with a smile. Even the fourth sister-in-law, who had already woken up, anxiously said that she could do it too.
Seeing this, the women from the Chen and Xiao families came forward and said that they could do it too.
You know, what the two families lack most now is money, and no one wants to miss out on this profitable business.
Zou Yu stepped forward and said awkwardly: "Niece-in-law, if there is a suitable one for us, can we come along as well?"
Li Ping also nodded, her eyes full of anxiety.
Ran Qingxuan smiled and raised his hand to press it, then pointed to the entire carriage of cloth in front of him.
"My husband and I were lucky today. We rescued a foreign merchant's wife at the dock. We not only bought building materials from her, but also a lot of fashionable fabrics from her country."
"I have already thought of the pattern and design. I will provide the fabric. I wonder if you can produce the effect I want."
There were only four styles of clothes on the A4 paper, but each one was a beauty they had never seen before.
The women who were originally making guarantees suddenly exclaimed. After looking at the pictures carefully, no one dared to guarantee that they could do it.
Ran Qingxuan had already thought of a way to deal with this. Clothes made of the same fabric are all sold in the tablet mall.
She bought a template book for making the same clothing for them to use as a reference, so that even those who were not very good at needlework could give it a try and sew a few stitches.
The fifth sister-in-law handed the child to Mrs. Gu and took the encyclopedia of clothing making that she offered.
The pictures above are simply dazzling.
Ran Qingxuan turned to the four sets of patterns she had chosen and showed them to everyone one by one.
"Two of these four sets of pictures are suitable for spring, and two are suitable for summer..."
"Isn't there any in autumn and winter?" The second sister-in-law was not good at needlework, so she asked the question that was in her mind.
