Gu Yanzhang came early in the morning with gifts and five taels of silver. Old Lady Liu and Chen Daming were really surprised.

They had originally thought that the Gu family had already emptied their house to build a new house.

Now, seeing the white silver and the jingling copper plates with their own eyes, Old Lady Liu smiled and nodded gently.

"Brother Yan, you have good fortune this year. Although it was a bit hard to earn this money, it is real good stuff. As long as you don't gamble or go to prostitutes, and don't make friends with those villains, your future life will be good!"

Seeing the old lady Liu's shrewd and sharp eyes on him, Gu Yanzhang nodded with a smile.

While nodding, he said humbly, "Mom, I can have such good fortune this year, it's all because of my wife's help."

"If it weren't for my wife, how could I make so much money?"

In the winter of previous years, the ice on the swamp was almost one meter thick.

But who would have thought of harvesting all the reeds before the ice formed?

After harvesting, who could have figured out how to make all the reeds into practical and beautiful winter supplies?

Just like his daughter-in-law, they were surrounded by treasures but returned empty-handed every day. If people like them who don't like to use their brains should not be poor, then who should be?

Thinking of the truths his daughter-in-law said, Gu Yanzhang couldn't help but show off to his mother-in-law.

"Mom, after all, my wife is the most capable."

"I really didn't expect that she doesn't like to move normally, but when she starts to use her brain, ten people in our Gu family can't catch up." When

the old lady Liu heard this, she was very happy in her heart. In front of the whole family, she said with a smug look on her face, "My third sister has taken after me since she was a child!"

"She not only looks like me, but also has a personality like me. Even these ideas are like me."

At this point, she said with the mentality of a person who has experienced it, "When I first married into the Chen family, this family was also very poor. It can be said that everyone in the village knew that our family was extremely poor, very poor, and had nothing. But I, at that time, obviously did not know how to make snacks. But I figured out a way to make tofu with those humble soybeans. And made taro balls with taro. I took these two things to the county town to sell, and I really made a lot of money at that time."

"After I made money, people in the village started to say some sour words. All they do all day long is say that there is no money in trading and that trading is not as good as farming."

At this point, the old lady Liu looked at some people in the family with a mocking face, and then asked Gu Yanzhang seriously, "My good son-in-law, tell us today, can you make money in small trading?"

Gu Yanzhang was also a smart man. Seeing that his mother-in-law seemed to be talking nonsense, he thought about it and nodded, telling the truth.

"Mom, of course you can make money from doing business!"

"If you can't make money from doing business, how come those people who run shops in the county and town can eat so much and still wear such nice clothes?"

"For more than half a year, I have been doing all kinds of small business. In the beginning, I took my father and two sons to the county town and the town to buy all kinds of pickled vegetables. Even salted duck eggs and salted chicken eggs sold especially well after being brought to the town. Just from selling vegetables, I can make nearly 700 to 800 coins a month!"

Upon hearing this number, the sons and daughters-in-law of old lady Liu were like wolves seeing meat, their eyes turned green.

"Third brother-in-law, are you deliberately deceiving us?"

"You can earn seven or eight hundred coins by going to the city and selling these worthless vegetables from our country?"

Gu Yanzhang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course."

"Some people in the city have no fields or land. If they want to eat vegetables, they can only eat vegetables grown by us farmers. We pick vegetables to sell in the city, and if they want to eat, they must pay for them..."

Zhang, the thrifty woman, is Chen Xuanxuan's third sister-in-law. When she heard what she said, she slapped her thigh excitedly. She turned around and began to blame the man beside her.

"Did you hear that? Did you hear that?!"

"What did I tell you before? I told you, let's learn from those people in Gujiagang and carry the vegetables from home to the city to sell, we will definitely make a lot of money. But what did you say? You said that doing this is shameful and disgraceful, and you can't make much money. Haha, Chen Sanming, I really didn't expect that in your eyes, a few hundred coins are not money?!"

Being accused by his wife on the spot, Chen Sanming felt a little embarrassed.

If there weren't so many people present, he would definitely give this slut next to him a few slaps.

Seven or eight hundred coins, how much money is it?

As long as he trains his son well, lets him study hard, and studies well, after his son has achieved success, people will definitely give him money every day to curry favor with him.

By then, those people will not only give money, but also give his son dozens of acres of good fertile land and bright green brick and tile houses.

Moreover, those smart and sensible big merchants may even give him, as a father, one or two young and beautiful concubines.

When Chen Sanming thought that as long as his son studied well, he felt that the money Gu Yanzhang mentioned was nothing at all!

He had heard from his son that the teachers in the county would spend about one or two silver coins to sit together and eat a few snacks.

So he always thought, why should he be like those people, go out to sell a few dishes every day, get up before dawn, run to the county or town, say nice things, smile, just to earn a few more money, why is this? !

Now his precious son despises him for being vulgar and thinks he is a mud-legged peasant.

If he is like his mother and his third brother-in-law, he will talk about money all the time. Then his younger son, who will have great potential in the future, will definitely despise him to the core.

Besides, for the sake of their youngest son's future, their family must not get involved in any business in the future.

They have to become the kind of farming and reading family.
