Disheartened by his parents' money-grubbing behavior, Lu Tianyu took the initiative to propose marrying into the Tang family, bringing with him the porcelain business that Xu Lanzhi had secured for him.
Xu Lanzhi was naturally delighted. Of her seven daughters, it would be best if her eldest daughter could find a husband to marry into her family.

Zhao Di was still resentful that she had ultimately gotten rid of the Lu couple with money. Her original plan was to appeal to their emotions and reason with them, but oh well, in that kind of family, it was already a miracle that Lu Tianyu hadn't gone astray.
Tang Qiqi knew that her mother had been looking forward to her daughter's marriage for a long time, so she suggested that her eldest and second eldest sisters hold their weddings together, so that good things would come in pairs.
So, the Tang family got busy, as Wang insisted that the newlyweds' new house should be located in the Tangjiagou courtyard.
The parties involved had no objections, but Tang Qiqi suggested that her two older sisters each buy a small courtyard house in the city, on the grounds that it would be convenient for them to take care of their business and return to Tangjiagou during holidays.
Before she transmigrated, she watched many family dramas, and the common saying was that every family has its own problems. With so many people living together every day, and with different lifestyles, there were bound to be some conflicts. It would be good for the couple to have their own time together, which would help strengthen their relationship, and maybe even allow Wang Shi to hold her great-grandchild sooner.
The wedding was over in a lively atmosphere, and Xu Lanzhi finally felt relieved. However, seeing how close Jiedi and Baogen were at the banquet, she said to Wang Shi, "Mother, we might have to have another wedding soon!"
Wang Shi was beaming from ear to ear, saying with a smile, "It's great to have a happy occasion. After the celebration, the full moon celebration won't be far away."
Sure enough, a year later, Jiedi and Baogen got married, and Zhaodi and Yindi became pregnant one after the other. Zhaodi gave birth to a daughter and Yindi gave birth to a son. With grandchildren, Wang and Xu Lanzhi were overjoyed.
The Tang family is not only large and prosperous, but also thriving in business. Tang Ji's business has spread everywhere, with shops all over Lanling. However, the seven Tang sisters still live in Huaiyuan County, and they have found reliable people to manage their businesses outside.
Zhao Di opened restaurant branches in various places. Signature dishes such as Tang Ji Spicy Chicken and Tang Ji Mutton not only sold well in these restaurants, but Tang Qiqi also had Qingfeng and Zhao Zili develop a vacuum packaging method. These delicacies were sold in Tang Ji stores managed by Zhao Di, so people could enjoy them without going out to restaurants.

Speaking of Yindi's shop, it's quite something now, it's become a leader in the industry, you can buy anything you can imagine, there's nothing she can't get.
In addition to Zhaodi's signature dishes, the Tang family also produces cotton cloth, felt, cotton-padded jackets, and cotton quilts from Jiedi's wool mill.
Sisi has now become an outstanding baking master. After countless failures, Zhao Zili finally built her first oven on his own and baked pastries and breads that had never appeared before in this era.
This naturally became a hot commodity, and many people wanted to hire Si Di with high salaries, but she politely declined. Now, each of Yin Di's branches has a shop that specializes in selling the pastries made by Si Di.
Niandi and Pandi, the two inseparable little maids, have grown into graceful young women. The two of them work together to make clothes. Niandi designs and Pandi cuts, and Tang Qiqi occasionally gives them fashion tips. The clothes they make have their own characteristics and are completely unconventional. As a result, some ladies who are not high-ranking officials or nobles are not afraid of the long journey and personally go to Huaiyuan to ask the Tang sisters to make dresses for them.
Xu Lanzhi is now retired and spends her days playing with her two grandchildren with her mother-in-law, Wang. Two years after her marriage to Jiedi, she finally became pregnant. With her two toddlers just learning to walk and now having babies to play with, she and Wang are not bored at all.
Tang Qiqi intended to matchmake her and Erzhuzi so that they could also get married, but the two of them seemed to have discussed it beforehand. Not only did they refuse, but they also told Tang Qiqi not to tell anyone, or they would turn against her. Tang Qiqi was left feeling humiliated, and although she was unwilling to give up, she had no choice but to accept it.
The three sons-in-law of the Tang family were no ordinary men. The eldest son-in-law, Lu Tianyu, married into the Tang family and handed over the porcelain business to Yindi, while he himself was responsible for running the business with Lin Jiaping and Lin Jiahe. His father, Lu Zhengting, seeing that the Tang family had become the richest family in Lanling, naturally came to beg for money every day. Lu Tianyu refused many times to no avail, and was miserable. Zhaodi, however, had a way of dealing with them, giving them a few coins to get rid of them, and also reminding them at every turn. Lu Zhengting was now somewhat afraid of this daughter-in-law, so he dared not be too presumptuous.
The second son-in-law, Liu Rufeng, was an expert at teaching. Initially, in order to train some capable teachers for the Tang family's orphanage, he recruited a group of failed scholars, who later taught in various villages and hamlets in Huaiyuan.
Liu Rufeng's private school has expanded many times over and is now called "Rufeng Academy".

Liu Rufeng has invited many talented people to be teachers here. Rufeng Academy has already produced one top scholar and two third-place scholars. Many students come here to study because of its reputation!
Bao Gen's ranch has expanded many times over, raising not only wool-producing sheep, but also meat-producing goats, milk-producing cows, and even many fine horses.
Besides Tangjiagou, managed by Erzhuzi, Dashuwan, managed by Lin Changming, and Liujiatun, managed by Liu Jianchang, most of the land in Huaiyuan Township was contracted by Tangji. The grain yield was astonishingly high. Apart from what was distributed to the farmers, some of the rest was sold, and a lot was collected into Tang Qiqi's space.
The Tang family orphanage is now being cared for by Tang Qingshan, who has returned from working away from home, and his wife. Most of the girls from that time have grown up; some work in the Tang family's shop to earn money, while others have married and started their own families. However, the orphanage has taken in many more orphans, so the Tang family has been bearing the orphanage's expenses.
Several years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Tang Qiqi has grown to thirteen years old. Now she has become more and more beautiful and charming, and is a well-known beauty in the surrounding villages.
From the moment she was born, Tang Qiqi has been worrying about the livelihood of her whole family. In her words, "I am a brick, I will be moved wherever I am needed!"
As a child, Tang Qiqi was destined for a life of hard work, but now, her six older sisters are all incredibly capable, and their careers are thriving. Only Tang Qiqi is still running around aimlessly.
The older sisters used to say, "Qiqi, you're still young, don't worry about everything. You have your older sisters here, or you won't grow tall!"
Now, everyone shakes their heads when they see her: "Tang Qiqi, where have you been gallivanting lately? How old are you? Why haven't you figured out what you want to do?"
"If all else fails, which of my restaurants do you fancy, I'll give it to you!"

Which of my second sister's businesses do you fancy? Take it and play with it!
Otherwise, you can manage the newly built weaving factory, which will save Third Sister from having to find someone else.
Qiqi, you love to eat so much, it would be so much fun to learn how to make desserts with your fourth sister!
Otherwise, you could learn to sew from your fifth and sixth sisters. Your ideas are unique, and the clothes you make will definitely be very different!
Tang Qiqi rubbed her messy hair and wailed, "Six bosses, don't you have to work? Can't you let people sleep in the morning?!"
As they were talking, the blanket was ruthlessly pulled off, and the six older sisters lifted Tang Qiqi off the bed and hurriedly dressed her.
Tang Qiqi was sleepy and listless, and really wanted to leave. However, her sisters knew her very well, and each of them had a lookout. So Tang Qiqi stopped making futile struggles, lay down, and let them do whatever they wanted to her.
Finally, Tang Qiqi, who used to be unkempt and dressed in coarse linen every day, changed into a silk skirt, with a heavy gold necklace around her neck and jingling pendants on her wrists.
Tang Qiqi saw herself in the mirror and broke out in a cold sweat: "You guys are so unfair! I've only been eating for free for a few years, how can you marry me off without a word? I'd rather die than marry you!"
Unfortunately, her struggles were futile; she was firmly fixed in the chair, and the curtains in the room were drawn, plunging the room into darkness.

Tang Qiqi said irritably, "You guys are being unfair! At least let me see what the groom looks like!"
Suddenly, Sisi came in carrying a cake with thirteen candles. Behind her were her grandmother, mother, and older sisters. Tang Qiqi then remembered that it was her birthday.
No wonder they're so dedicated. For the past three or four years, I've been out having fun on my birthday, not giving them a chance to shine! This format was designed by Sisi based on Tang Qiqi's description.
Tang Qiqi blew out the candles and had a happy birthday with her family. But before she had even finished her cake, Xu Lanzhi started nagging, "Qiqi, you'll be of marriageable age in two years. You can't run around like that anymore. From now on, you have to come and pay your respects to your mother every day!"
Tang Qiqi thought to herself, "Oh no, this is going to be grounded!" So after everyone had fallen asleep, she slipped away, this time to go far away.
