Wen Linmu was rather dull-witted. He didn't get angry when Fang Xiaoxiao threw a tantrum. He just smiled and said, "If you don't want to go, then you don't have to go. Staying at home is fine too."
Fang Xiaoxiao was furious with him and said irritably, "Are you stupid? Do you know how good the treatment is for working for Yang Cui?"
Although Wen Shi also regretted that Yang Cui had not kept her eldest nephew and niece, she could not stand Fang Xiaoxiao bullying her nephew like this, and immediately retorted: "Don't take your anger out on Lin Mu. You weren't selected either, so what right do you have to shout here?"
Fang Xiaoxiao didn't dare to talk back, after all, the Wen family was now rich and they were counting on her to help them out.
Fang Xiaoxiao lowered her head angrily, her gaze falling on Wen Shuishui again, and she had a plan in mind.
Wen Shuishui's parents came with their child, but they didn't go to Yang Cui's place; they stayed at Anjia and waited there.
Upon seeing Wen return with the children, Wen Damao immediately stepped forward and asked, "How did it go?"
Wen Shuishui didn't care whether Fang Xiaoxiao was happy or not, and said excitedly, "President Yang said he would arrange for me to work in the shop to sell goods, and that I could be a shopkeeper like Brother Jiang in the future."
"Really? Oh my, my son is amazing! Yang Cui is so capable, she can't be lying. Shui, you must do your best." Mother Wen was overjoyed. "It seems that Yang Cui likes you very much. Son, you must do your best."
Wen Damao smiled with satisfaction, then asked Wen Linmu, "What about the rest of you?"
Fang Xiaoxiao said with a resentful look, "She took another family of three and didn't want us. She's really siding with outsiders."
Mother Wen scolded, "Say less. It's fine if Shui Shui can stay."
Fang Xiaoxiao was not giving up and said, "Mom, Lin Mu is the eldest son in the family. Second brother should give the opportunity to Lin Mu. Aunt, Uncle, why don't you go and talk to him?"
Wen Shuishui was getting anxious; he didn't want to give it up, he still wanted to be the manager.
An Dafu said, "Give up on that idea. Xiao Cui is a woman of her word, and no one can change her mind. Besides, she hates asking relatives to do chores. Xiao Cui has also raised more than a dozen piglets. After spring, you can dig up earthworms and gather pig feed to sell, and you can make money that way."
Fang Xiaoxiao was unwilling to give up and tried every trick in the book to coax and plead with the An family, but the couple just wouldn't agree to go see Yang Cui. Wen's mother slapped her on the back of the head: "Shut up, are you never going to stop?"
Fang Xiaoxiao felt extremely wronged, thinking that her in-laws were too biased.
Mother Wen said irritably, "Let me tell you, Yang Cui is in love with Shui Shui. You better behave yourself, or I'll skin you alive!"
Wen's mother knew that Yang Cui had two daughters. The older one was about the same age as Shui Shui. She had met her before. She was good-looking and well-behaved. She was very satisfied with her.
If Shui Shui goes to work for Yang Cui and Yang Cui sees how good her son is, then the marriage will have a chance. Therefore, Wen's mother will never allow Fang Xiaoxiao to ruin things!
...
Yang Cui initially considered placing the pastry production site in the county town, but she lacked talent. In addition, Yang Cui wanted Er Ya and San Ya to participate in the management of the pastry shop so that they could gain experience. Therefore, in order to unify management, she finally decided to place the production site at the rice noodle factory.
Fortunately, the land was large when we bought it, so adding a few more rooms wouldn't be a problem.
"What? You mean we can participate in the business too? We can make money too?" Er Ya and San Ya were taken aback.
"Yes, don't you like it?"
"Yes, I love it! I love making money. I want to make lots and lots of money like my mom." Sanya is most interested in doing business.
"What about me? What about me, godmother?" Yuan Qiu was also getting restless.
"You? You and Xiaohu are going to the academy to study tomorrow. Just study hard. If I buy a few hundred acres of land in the future, I'll be counting on you to save me money on taxes."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Qiu patted his chest and said, "Godmother, don't worry, I will definitely make you proud."
Many people find it unbelievable that Yang Cui started taking Er Ya and San Ya into business when they were so young. In their opinion, Yang Cui was so rich that she should let her children learn music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and needlework so that they could find partners in the future.
But Yang Cui didn't think so. In Yang Cui's view, playing the zither, chess, calligraphy and painting were just icing on the cake. In this era, apart from courtesans, how many women could make a living from these things?
Parents can't be with their children forever. She hopes her children will have the ability to earn money and support themselves, so that even if they fall on hard times in the future, they will still be able to support themselves.
The next day, Yang Cui and Cen Xiao took Yuan Qiu and An Xiaohu to the academy.
Since they could no longer go home every day after studying here, Yang Cui had someone clean up the house in the county town and also arranged for Xiao Jiang and Xiao He to move in as well. This way, they could keep the two little ones company at night and learn to read, so they wouldn't be illiterate.
Yang Cui was not entirely at ease leaving the children in the city since they were still young. She repeatedly gave them instructions, prepared a lot of things, and even left Dao San with them so they could pick them up and drop them off at school. There were many child abductors in this era, and if someone like Lin Xiaolian got lost, she would be impossible to find. So, she couldn't afford to be careless.
"Mom, don't worry, I'll be fine. I'll come home to see you when I have my day off." Yuan Qiu's nose tingled; he was also very reluctant to leave home.
"Once the shop is open, we'll occasionally stay in the city."
"Hurry up and go inside! You're so shy, like a girl. Study hard and don't let your godmother down, understand?" Cen Xiao's words immediately ruined the atmosphere.
Yuan Qiu glared at him. Sure enough, her uncle was the most annoying thing!
After Yuan Qiu and An Xiaohu followed the teacher inside, Cen Xiao and Yang Cui also left for their family's pastry shop.
"Madam Cen, Madam Cen." As soon as I entered, Manager Ma came over. "Madam Cen, I heard you're opening a pastry shop?"
