The two Zhou sisters had mixed feelings; they had misjudged their younger brother and sister-in-law all along.
The younger sister-in-law is the one who is wise in her apparent foolishness!
"The fact that the doll business is so good today means that there are still many families in Peach Blossom Town who can afford to buy them. We should strike while the iron is hot, go to the cloth shop to buy some cloth, and hurry up and make them."
Jiang Yue encouraged her two sisters-in-law, while also telling them that this student's opinion shouldn't last too long.
Currently, no one else in Peach Blossom Town has discovered this business opportunity. If someone does, others will follow suit and replicate it.
This isn't a particularly difficult skill to begin with; a clever person can easily figure it out by studying it.
It won't be so easy to sell it at a higher price later.
The two Zhou sisters agreed wholeheartedly. Their younger siblings were knowledgeable and their opinions always made sense. They weren't smart, but they listened to advice.
So the three sisters-in-law rested briefly before heading to the cloth shop without stopping.
Qingsong had just bought six large meat buns, but before he could even deliver them to his mother and two aunts, he watched helplessly as the three of them hurried away...
What about his delicious meat buns?
It was still the same fabric shop, with the same manager.
As soon as Jiang Yue arrived, the shopkeeper recognized her at a glance, and immediately put down his work to greet her with a smile:
"Aunt Jiang, what would you like to pick out today?"
"May your business prosper!"
Jiang Yue nodded slightly as a greeting.
"My sister-in-law wants to buy fabric today, so I'm here to help her choose. You go ahead with your work, and we'll ask you about the price after we've picked out ours."
"Okay, pick whatever you like, I'll give you this price."
The shopkeeper gestured with two fingers, unaware that he was about to suffer a massive hemorrhage...
Jiang Yue gestured for her eldest and second sisters-in-law to come over, and she led them through the fabric yard.
The Zhou family had a heavy bag of money in their arms, and they looked at the fabric with great interest, nodding from time to time.
Little Zhou's eyes lit up; with so many colorful fabrics, she had already imagined many new styles...
Finally, I selected ten pieces of fabric with different patterns, and also picked out a bunch of colorful needles and thread.
When it came time to settle the bill, even the shopkeeper was surprised. Why did they buy so much this time?
"You need these to run a small business."
Jiang Yue laughed and said, "It's nothing shameful, and there's no secret about it."
After telling him the truth, the shopkeeper gave him a thumbs up and praised him:
"Aunt Jiang, you are really amazing."
"The shopkeeper is so kind; he's given me scraps of fabric several times. When the next batch of dolls is finished, my sister-in-law will send you a koi fish. Wishing you good fortune in advance!"
Jiang Yue was quite tactful; after offering a few compliments, she gave her thanks.
Both out of courtesy and reason, this koi fish should be given away.
The Zhou family agreed wholeheartedly and nodded to indicate that they had taken note.
Little Zhou had no objections. The shopkeeper was quite nice; he reduced the price by twenty coins per bolt of cloth. Ten bolts would save a lot of money!
After paying, Jiang Yue and her sisters-in-law left the cloth shop. On their way back, they met the three Qingshan brothers, who had just finished delivering the goods.
When Da Shi and Xiao Shi saw their mother carrying large and small bags of things, they immediately ran over to help carry them.
"Mother, have all the dolls you brought been sold out?"
Xiao Shi glanced at the sack in his hand and realized it was full of cloth, not rag dolls.
"That's right, with your third aunt there, your mother and your eldest aunt didn't have to do much; they sold out in no time!"
Little Zhou proudly declared that she had learned a great deal today, having learned a lot from her third brother's wife, and that she would brag about it to her mother-in-law when she got home.
"Mom, are you hungry? Second brother bought you all some steamed buns."
Qingshan took the oil paper package out of the bucket in the cart, opened it, and handed it to his mother, eldest aunt, and second aunt, indicating that all three of them should take it and eat it.
Have you eaten?
Jiang Yue took a meat bun and casually asked about her son.
"After we finished our delivery, we bought some vegetable buns and steamed buns. I also bought some meat at the butcher shop. I was lucky today; I even managed to buy two grass carp that were about waist-high."
Qingshan nodded, and after his aunts took their buns, he rewrapped the remaining buns.
"It's so big! Did you raise it in water? We'll kill it when we get home."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yue quickly finished her steamed bun and went to look at the cart.
"Don't worry, Mother, it's alive and well."
Qingshan said smugly, "How could Mother not trust him to handle things?"
"Well done, go home and fry fish."
Jiang Yue praised her son, saying he's becoming more and more like the eldest son!
Seeing how much his third aunt trusted Qingshan, Da Shi's eyes involuntarily drifted to his own mother.
Madam Zhou smiled gently and gestured for her son to help her carry the copper coins, as they were very heavy.
Oishi: .......
On the way back, they encountered Wu Jiahu driving an oxcart. Jiang Yue's legs were practically burning with exhaustion as she called her sisters-in-law over to ride in the cart.
Children:.......
Motherly love is there, but it doesn't seem to be very abundant.
An oxcart is definitely faster than a handcart. It's not that Jiang Yue doesn't care about her sons, but it's just not the right time to buy an oxcart yet. Let her sons experience the hardships of starting a business.
Yes, she is such a loving mother!
When it came time to pay the fare, Jiang Yue couldn't resist the enthusiasm of her sisters-in-law and had no choice but to pay for it for free.
The eldest and youngest Zhou women were grateful to their younger siblings; how much did it cost to ride in the oxcart?
If they can't even afford this, then they're really ungrateful!
After parting ways, Jiang Yue returned home to find her basket completely empty, and she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
I promised to bring food for my daughter, but she was so busy she forgot!
"Woof woof woof~"
Oh no, Xiaobai spotted her! Now she can't use her cheat codes anymore!
"Mother~"
"Sigh~"
Jiang Yue smiled, but then nervously pulled her hand back slightly, saying:
"Mom bought a big fish, it's on your older brother's cart. When your older brother comes home, Mom will fry the fish for you."
"Mmm, we've got fish to eat!"
Qingyao had no suspicions and diligently welcomed her mother home.
Jiang Yue silently thought to herself, "I'm sorry, Qingshan. What's yours is still your mother's, and what's your mother's is still your mother's."
The green mountains far away on the way back to the village:
"Achoo~"
I have a bad feeling about this.
Not long after, Old Zhou came to the third house with a basket of good things, including mulberries, bayberries, honeydew melons, and her pickled cowpeas.
"Mom, you come all the time, but why do you always bring so much stuff? I don't have anything good to give back."
When Jiang Yue saw her mother-in-law, she joked with her while quickly bringing over a stool for her to sit down.
“Your two sisters-in-law told me when they got back that they have no idea how to do business. They were able to make a lot of money only because of your help.”
Old Mrs. Zhou sighed, then wiped away her tears and said emotionally:
"Third brother's wife, it's our Wu family that owes you something. From now on, if you want to do anything, just let us know, and we'll all support you!"
Jiang Yue was a little confused when she heard this, but she quickly realized the deeper meaning behind her mother-in-law's words.
Could it be that the mother-in-law meant that the Wu family would have no objection if she wanted to remarry?
Um, thank you, she really has no intention of remarrying!
Isn't making money more appealing?
Why serve men?
Isn't it wonderful to be pampered by your son and daughter-in-law?
Isn't it nice to be waited on by your daughter?
How desperate must she be to want to get married!
