"Hmm? Tell me what you think."
Lianhua is very talented in business. Even though He Jiuniang originally had the idea of developing in Fucheng, she still couldn't help but want to hear her thoughts.
Young people always have novel ideas.
"I just think that there are many people in the capital city, and even more rich people. Our products are so good, we're sure we can make more money!"
If you can make such a fortune in just half a year in the county town, everyone in Jingzhou City must be rich. Wouldn't you make a killing if you went to the prefectural city?
"Auntie, let's set up a stall in the prefectural city, we're sure we can earn more!"
"Pfft, hahaha..."
He Jiuniang couldn't help but laugh out loud, and looked at her, asking, "You traveled all this way just to set up a street stall?"
"Can't we set up street stalls in the prefectural city?"
Lianhua was taken aback. Mainly, she felt that this place was not far from the prefectural city, and the two groups could take turns selling, so they could still go home after selling. Therefore, she did not think too much about it.
"It's possible, but setting up a street stall back and forth is too troublesome. Although you can make money, it's too tiring and not worth it. It's better to just buy a shop or something."
This was indeed He Jiuniang's idea; she wanted to buy not only a courtyard house but also a shop so that she could do business in the future.
However, prices in Jingzhou City are much higher than here. With the family's current income, they can scrape together enough to buy a shop, but definitely not enough to buy a courtyard.
He Jiuniang wanted to buy it herself, but if she did too much, her family would definitely feel resentful.
Besides, she's not really that saintly. She was willing to take them along before because they really didn't have any money. Now that they have the means to do what they want, she doesn't need to keep helping them for free. She can't take care of them forever.
Therefore, the matter of developing in the prefectural city still needs to be considered in the long term. The most important thing is to stabilize the business in the county town first.
Take it one step at a time; don't try to run before you've even got a firm footing.
"With prices so high in the prefectural city, we probably can't afford to buy a shop, can we?"
Lotus blinked, thinking that if He Jiuniang's words were true, then her wish to develop in the prefectural city would probably be dashed, and she would have to earn more money.
"Let's talk about this after the New Year. Go get ready and go to bed."
After the two cleaned up the mess, He Jiuniang yawned; it was already past midnight.
Lotus nodded, realizing that her idea was somewhat immature and a bit far-fetched.
The next morning, the Lu family workshop was already closed for the day, and the women in the family began to clean and tidy up the house, preparing things for the New Year.
The men went to walk around the fields and check on the poultry.
Youya and the boy were reading and writing together, while Ting and Youya were practicing embroidery.
All morning, Lu Guilan was whispering with Shen Shi, as if they were discussing something, and her expression was somewhat serious.
After finishing their work, the two went to find Mrs. Sun together.
Sun was standing with her hands on her hips, lecturing He Jiuniang.
He Jiuniang hadn't come out yet, and everyone assumed that she had worked very late last night and that it wouldn't hurt to sleep a little longer.
Sun thought the puppy should be awake and wanted to take her grandson out to eat something, but when she opened the door, she saw He Jiuniang writing and drawing.
"You finally get a break, can't you just relax a little? The workshop isn't in a rush to use it!"
"Look at this, what kind of nonsense is this?"
Sun originally didn't want to comment on He Jiuniang's designs, mainly because the family really made money from these designs.
However, she looked at the paper and found it to be neither clothes nor rags, and she was deeply suspicious.
Most importantly, Sun, who had been through it all, felt quite a bit uncomfortable!
She glanced at He Jiuniang with some suspicion, thinking that the third son's wife was still young, and it was not good for her to become a widow at such a young age.
Her family agrees if she wants to get married, but isn't it a bit inappropriate for her to secretly draw these inappropriate things?
Look at the little dog playing with its toys on the ground. This little guy is very clever. What if he sees us and learns bad habits?
He Jiuniang hadn't expected her to come in, and faced with those strange patterns, she didn't know how to explain them for a moment.
Actually, she didn't draw anything indecent, just underwear.
Hmm—by today's standards, these are slightly suggestive lingerie!
"Mother, please listen to my excuse... ptooey, let me explain! This thing is just like a bellyband, but it's good for our female bodies."
Her somewhat weak explanation only made Mrs. Sun more suspicious; she really couldn't understand what good could two pieces of rags and a strap possibly do.
"Isn't spring just after the New Year? Feathered clothing won't sell well, but we can still make money by selling these lightweight clothes."
He Jiuniang hasn't taken out the patterns of some sexy lingerie she had drawn before, otherwise Sun Shi definitely wouldn't accept it.
"How much can you sell these two pieces of cloth for?"
Sun remained skeptical, thinking it was better to spend a few hundred coins to buy a bolt of cloth and make as much as he wanted.
"You don't know this, do you? The less fabric used, the more money you make!"
He Jiuniang gave her a suggestive wink, while Sun scolded her for being indecent and made her slap her.
"Then tell me, how is this stuff good for your health?"
Sun's face was stern; she wanted to see what tricks this third daughter-in-law could come up with!
He Jiuniang hesitated for a moment, then asked with difficulty, "Are you sure you want to know?"
"Nonsense, why would I ask you if I didn't want to know?"
"Oh well."
Then!
He Jiuniang immediately took action!
Yes, it's all about getting started!
She quickly touched Sun's obviously sagging area with both hands, then jumped away in an instant, fearlessly saying, "Wearing this thing will prevent you from looking like this, and will make you as firm as a young girl!"
Sun: !!!
For a moment, Madam Sun was stunned; she never expected He Jiuniang to pull such a stunt!
"Oh no! You're going to die!"
When Sun realized what was happening, she chased after them, ready to hit them. The little dog heard the noise, turned around, and laughed as it watched the two fighting.
When Lu Guilan and Shen arrived, they saw this chaotic scene of chaos.
"Mother, what's wrong?"
Although Lu was used to the two of them bickering, Lu Guilan was still worried that she would fall because she was too excited, so she hurriedly stepped forward to pull her back.
Sun was too embarrassed to tell anyone that she had been groped by her third son's wife, so she patted her slightly flushed face and asked, "Do you two need something from me?"
Thinking about her own affairs, Lu Guilan stopped worrying about why they were arguing. She exchanged a glance with Shen Shi and said, "Mother, my family and my sister-in-law's families have discussed it. We have money after the division of the money, so we want to move out."
