"It wasn't much, a total of 263 taels and 6 mace. After deducting costs, I've already made 63 taels and 6 mace."
"263 taels?" Wei exclaimed in surprise.
Du and Old Lady Ye glared at her and said, "Keep your voice down."
“Oh…” Mrs. Wei’s heart skipped a beat.
I remember Ye Caiping gave her 7 shares back then, telling her to invest 70 taels. If she had invested then, how much would she have gotten now? I think it would be over 90 taels! She'd make over 20 taels in profit right away!
Moreover, the initial investment has already been recouped.
When the profits are split later, it will be pure profit!
Furthermore, the furniture store has only been open for 9 days! And they've already made so much in just 9 days! If it's by the end of the month, it will be more than double.
If she had voted then, she could have earned more than two hundred taels a month!
Thinking about it, Ms. Wei's heart clenched, and she was so remorseful that she almost fainted.
Seeing her regretful look, Old Mrs. Ye couldn't help but roll her eyes at her.
Given the second daughter-in-law's petty and stingy nature, she'd be lucky to even get a taste of what's good for her.
Fortunately, Caiping was careful and in the end gave the shares to the second son.
At this moment, Ye Caiping walked over, and Old Mrs. Ye looked up: "Caiping, I remember Jin'er's birthday is August 13th, which is only two days away. Should we hold a celebration this year?"
"Of course."
"Then we'd better prepare gifts."
Madam Du smiled and said, "My Xiuxiu has already prepared everything, and I have some too. Mother, it's too late for you to prepare now."
"Go away, go away." Old Mrs. Ye gave her a reproachful look and stuffed the vegetable basket into Du's hands. "Once you've picked them out, take the eldest daughter's to the kitchen."
Mrs. Du picked up the basket and turned to leave.
Lady Wei paid no attention to what they were saying. She staggered toward the main room, filled with regret.
She looked up and saw Ye Peng talking to Jin'er, which made her feel a little better.
It's alright, her son still has a good marriage prospect!
Once this marriage is arranged, we'll have everything we need.
...
The Li family home was also bustling with activity at this time.
The Li family made quite a few jokes recently, to the point that the whole village thought Li Zhiyuan's family was dirty and smelly.
Even if they suddenly became rich and bought servants, people still felt that they were corrupt and disorderly.
Even today, the yamen runners come to deliver the good news.
Li Ziming actually passed the imperial examination and became a scholar! Moreover, he ranked first in the examination, causing the whole village to erupt in excitement once again.
Facing the villagers who came to congratulate her, Granny Li proudly declared, "We have two scholars in one family!"
Someone said, "I heard that Ye Xuan from Qinghe Village also won."
Granny Li retorted angrily, "So what if he won? My grandson is number one!"
Li Zhiyuan said with a proud look, "Zi Mo has truly inherited my skills!"
After saying this, Li Zhiyuan felt a great sense of accomplishment and his confidence was about to explode!
Li Ziming was taught by him personally!
As for Ye Xuan, hehe!
What kind of 17-year-old top scholar, what kind of great Confucian scholar, yet the students he taught actually ranked below him!
He outshone that pretty boy Shen Zhiyan!
It's clear that Li Zhiyuan is truly a man of great talent!
Thinking about it, Li Zhiyuan felt elated, his confidence almost bursting out of his body.
