Liu Dali's dog had given birth to six puppies, and they were ready to be fed. Liu Dali was worried about who to give them to.
Coincidentally, Ye Caiping wanted to get a dog.
Ye Caiping's heart melted as she looked at the chubby, plump puppy.
The dog was an ordinary little mongrel, but everyone in the Ye family liked it very much.
In the end, they decided to keep all six puppies and gave them 100 coins.
Liu Dali was overjoyed, his face beaming with smiles. He would only receive 10 or 8 coins as a red envelope for giving away the puppy, but Ye Caiping was generous and gave him 100 coins.
Six people, each carrying a puppy, happily walked home amidst the puppies' whimpers.
Grandma Ye said, "We only need to buy one or two, why buy so many?"
Ye Caiping said, "Two at home, two at the workshop, and two more at the furniture workshop in the future."
"That makes sense. Dogs should be allowed to roam freely, whether at home or in a workshop."
Mrs. Du said, "You've made me want to raise one too. I'll go to the market tomorrow and bring one home."
When Du returned home, she told Ye Daquan about Ye Caiping bringing home a litter of puppies, and said that her family would buy some the next day.
Ye Daquan immediately objected and ran to Ye Caiping's house, insisting on taking two of them back with him.
"The furniture workshop won't be finished for at least another month. We can buy them in town then. These two will stay with my family for now."
Ye Caiping asked, "Why? Can't you buy it yourself?"
Ye Daquan said aggrievedly, "No way... these two are from the same litter as your dog, little sister..."
Ye Caiping: "..."
Ye Daquan then snatched the two puppies and took them home.
Meanwhile, the furniture workshop also started work on an auspicious day. Thirty strong laborers were hired, all paid 25 coins a day, and they ate lunch at Ye Daquan's house.
We also need to start making and buying some woodworking tools.
Various planes, chisels, carpenter's squares, squares, ink lines... twenty or thirty kinds of tools, dozens of sets at a time.
These tasks were all left to Wang Shuantou and his son to handle.
Ye Caiping went to the spicy soup workshop in the morning and drew furniture blueprints in the afternoon.
As she drew, Ye Caiping sighed with emotion. She had thought that she would never need her professional knowledge after graduating from university, but she never expected that it would come in handy after she traveled through time.
In her previous life, she was a painting major.
But after graduation, she discovered that drawing couldn't make money, so she had to set up a stall while drawing.
Unexpectedly, her paintings didn't become popular, but her spicy soup sales became a hit. In the end, she became completely absorbed in the business world and never left.
"Hahaha, is Madam Ye not here?" A loud laugh rang out from outside.
"Yes, she's gone out. If Matchmaker Jia has anything to say, just tell me," said Old Lady Ye.
“Madam Ye is not young anymore. I’ll tell her about a family. I know you look down on ordinary families, and that’s true, Madam Ye is beautiful and good at making money. But I’m not talking about an ordinary family.”
"That's Master Ma from town. You know Master Ma, right? He owns five rice shops and hundreds of acres of fertile land."
Old Mrs. Ye immediately flew into a rage: "Isn't that Master Ma fifty years old? He could be Cai Ping's father!"
“Oh dear… He’s a bit old, but he has the title of a scholar and his family owns a lot of property.”
Old Mrs. Ye was furious. After saying four or five more words, she asked the matchmaker, Jia, to leave.
Although Ye Caiping didn't go out, she was still incredibly annoyed by what she heard.
Grandma Ye walked in: "Did I disturb you?"
Ye Caiping sighed softly, "From now on, no matter what kind of matchmaker you are, don't let them in."
Grandma Ye said, "Don't worry, we definitely won't let them in. Originally, I thought that the boys and girls in my family were not young anymore, so I didn't dare to offend the matchmakers. But these two, what kind of families are they talking about? They're really insulting people."
Unexpectedly, two days later, another matchmaker, Chen, came and introduced Ye Caiping to families in the county. There were two options: one was to become the second wife of an old wealthy man, and the other was to become the concubine of a rich merchant in his thirties who was blind in one eye.
Ye Caiping's face darkened. She felt that she must have been plotted against and targeted by someone.
Otherwise, matchmakers wouldn't flock to the scene, and the people they'd recommend would all be worse than the last.
