"Then let's go. People of Linjia Village, hold onto your brocade pouches tightly and don't stray too far from the newlyweds. The wild beasts in these desolate mountains are not to be trifled with!"
Zhang Niangzi walked at the very front, and the group set off in a grand procession.
Passing by Mr. and Mrs. Lin's house, everyone could clearly hear the howling coming from inside.
"That damned Wu Cuiying, why isn't she back yet? I've been doing all the housework, my bones are about to fall apart!"
"What are you yelling about? The second brother has already gone to find someone. He's put down all his work and lost a lot of money. Can't you just let me have some peace and quiet?"
"How am I not letting you have peace? Wu Cuiying ran away, is it all my fault?"
The two elderly people were arguing loudly, and they even wanted to shout a few more words to let others hear them, but the people in front of them didn't turn around at all, and no one paid any attention to them.
The two were furious. Finally, Old Mrs. Lin made a tough decision and said directly, "We have no choice but to let the eldest daughter-in-law come back. Although she is a young lady from the capital, she has come to our Lin Family Village. Can she continue to be a young lady forever?"
“Before, with the second and third sons’ wives, we didn’t need her to take care of things at home. Now that our family is in such a state, if we don’t let her come back to do farm work, where will our eldest son and our eldest grandson get the money to continue their studies?”
Grandpa Lin, standing nearby, breathed a sigh of relief and nodded nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter who does the work. My eldest daughter-in-law has indeed switched to doing chores around the house. She's a woman who follows her husband wherever he goes. Who told her to marry into our family?"
The eldest son's family in the barren county was unaware of the changes in Linjia Village. Lin Lian was making soap in the courtyard.
"What's wrong with that? Lin Lu always did it this way before, and she succeeded so easily!"
If she can successfully make the soap, she can make a lot of money by selling the formula later.
The problem now is that her memory is not right. The soap is not forming properly and looks like a piece of black coal. It is not smooth at all and has no cleaning function.
"Lianlian, is your method working? If it really doesn't work, let's just stop trying, shall we? We're using lard every day, and we're almost out of oil!"
The women in the courtyard were terrified.
The twenty taels of silver they got from the Lin family have been almost spent. Their daughter still hasn't succeeded in making soap. How will their family eat in the future?
"Mom, you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub. If we don't invest first, how will we make big money later?" Lin Lian firmly believed in the soap-making method. After all, Lin Lu in her previous life made money this way, and she was so envious back then!
The woman hesitated for a long time before finally nodding vigorously: "Daughter, you're right. We should indeed get involved."
"Or, you could go back another day and ask them to bring back some more silver?"
Lin Lian nodded; that was the only option.
Neither of them expected that before they could even go back to ask for the money, Old Mrs. Lin and Old Mr. Lin would soon come knocking on their door!
