"Yes! I agree! My daughter has a skill that can make her a lot of money. Then, any ordinary husband-in-law will be unworthy of her! As her mother, I am also proud!"
Mrs. Qian smiled and said, "Actually, I'm very touched! They say that sons are treasures and daughters are weeds in farming families, but in Xujia Village, it's not like that! The girls are so lucky to have parents like you!"
"Hehe! I think daughters are much more caring than sons. Look at the clothes I'm wearing. The green bamboo on the hem was embroidered by my daughter. She said it's for safety. I feel so relieved!" A man laughed.
"Yes! My daughter knows that I like flowers and plants. Look, the red plum blossom on my lapel was embroidered by my daughter! I cherish it very much!" said an aunt with a smile.
Madam Qian nodded and said, "Well, I originally planned to let the maids earn their own dowries with their own hands. Now that you all agree, I'm relieved!"
A man said: "I will let my daughter save the money she earns. She has earned a little over two taels of silver from selling handkerchiefs and other things to tourists in the village.
My daughter is very filial and insisted on giving it to me and her mother. There was no other way, her mother and I could not refuse her kindness. My wife even went to the town to buy a few feet of good material to make a set of clothes for the child. Unexpectedly, the child secretly made the material into her mother's size. My wife was so moved that she hugged the child and burst into tears.
"Haha! As a father, aren't you jealous?" Hua'er's mother said with a smile.
"Hehe, why should I be jealous? We men work outside, how can we wear clothes made of fine materials? As long as my parents, wife and children at home are well clothed and well fed, that's the ability of a man!" said the man with a smile.
"Well said! In our village now, every family has a fortune of over a hundred taels. This is something we couldn't even imagine before. I'm already content. Let our daughters keep the money they worked so hard to earn!"
Madam Qian said, "Everyone, listen to me. Regarding this decision, if it really succeeds, the price of the embroidery will not be what you think.
I plan to go the high-end route. Even if we pay per head, at least each person can get a hundred taels of silver for each finished product. In the long run, this is a considerable sum. Now that the girls are not yet of marriageable age, you should deposit this money with the bank."
"Wow! That's quite a lot!" someone said in surprise.
"Yeah! As long as they have a skill, women can earn more than men!"
"Then I'll listen to Sister Yueru. When I make money in the future, I'll save it for my daughter."
"Well, we have enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear now, and we don't have to worry about anything. We don't need to rely on our daughter's hard-earned money to support the family!"
"Yes, this embroidery is really bad for the eyes. Sometimes my daughter uses her eyes for a long time, so she will put a towel dipped in cold water on her eyes. She says this can relieve eye fatigue. As a mother, I feel so sad when I see this."
Qibao said, "Aunts, you can buy some pig liver and cook it for the little sisters. It's good for the eyes."
"Shippo, are you telling the truth?"
Qibao nodded and said, "Yes! But you can't eat it every day!"
"That's great! I'll give my daughter some pig liver every now and then!"
"Okay, I'll go buy it when I have a break from my shift at the winery!"
Qibao said, "If you ladies don't have time, our Kuiwu often goes to town, so we can ask him to bring it back to you."
"That's great, thank you Qibao!"
Others followed suit.
"If you ask me, Sister Yueru is the children's benefactor! If it weren't for her, our daughter wouldn't be able to embroider at all!"
"Yes! When I get back, I'll tell my daughter to treat Yueru with the same respect she gives me!"
Madam Qian smiled and said, "Please don't say that. I like these girls very much. They are all well-behaved and hardworking. When the girls get married in the future, I just want to share in their happiness. Why should I be filial to them as my sisters say?"
"Sister Yueru, when our daughter gets married, you will be the guest of honor. If you don't kowtow to you before marrying, don't even think about leaving the house."
"Yes, you are the one who gives these kids confidence. You are their support."
Madam Qian said, "You're too kind! The Xu family should be the one to be truly thanked!"
The others laughed upon hearing this and said, "Sister Yueru, we already treat the Xu family as our own family. We will do our best to complete every task that the old man has given us. That is the best way to repay him! Because with our abilities, we can only do some hard work to express our gratitude!"
Wang smiled and said, "I know what everyone is thinking. The future development of Xujia Village still depends on everyone."
Everyone nodded.
The meeting is over, goodbyes have been given, and it's time for everyone to go.
Mrs. Qian said happily, "Ah! I have done something meaningful! I will definitely take good care of this embroidery workshop in the future."
Wang smiled and said, "I told you that the children's parents would definitely agree. They are all children of the Xu family, and they are truly kind to their children."
Madam Qian said, "Aunt, I'm really shocked. No one has suggested using the children's earnings to supplement the family income. They are all thinking about the children. The village's atmosphere is really good from the bottom of their hearts."
Wang said proudly, "Yes! That's why I will never leave Xu Village!"
Madam Qian said, "Aunt, I want to settle down in Xujia Village in the future. Can you tell the village chief?"
Wang said, "Hey! What's the big deal? You, the scholar, and the two children can live in my house!"
Madam Qian shook her head and said, "No, when the brothers Wenwu get married and have children, there will be too many people. I still want to have a house in Xujia Village for our family of four."
Wang said, "Well, wait until the scholar comes back, and you and your family can discuss it. Then go to the village chief and tell him that you have done a favor for the children in the village. He will agree."
Mrs. Qian nodded.
Uncle Fu opened the door. Cui Cancan changed into a neat set of clothes and was about to go out for a walk.
Wang smiled and said, "Cancan, are you going for a walk again? I see you've really lost a lot of weight!"
Cui Cancan smiled and said, "Grandma Xu, I also feel that my belly has become much smaller!"
Mrs. Qian said, "Cancan, when you become thinner, I will make you a beautiful dress. You must work hard!"
Cui Cancan nodded and said, "Okay, thank you Aunt Ru, I will definitely work hard!"
After Cui Cancan finished speaking, he ran outside.
Wang smiled and said, "At first, I really didn't expect this girl to be able to hold on for so long. It's really not easy!"
"Yeah, this girl scared me when she first came! Although she was timid before, she had great perseverance! But now her personality has changed a lot."
Wang nodded and smiled, "This girl seems to be Chenyu's fiancée, but she was arranged by Chenyu's family."
Madam Qian said, "Mr. Su is indeed a handsome young man. If this girl were to lose weight, her features wouldn't be bad either. They could make a good match!"
