Bathed in candlelight, the whole family ate their meal with happy smiles on their faces.
The Jiang family didn't have as many rules as wealthy families. They didn't follow the rule of "not talking while eating," and everyone shared interesting things that happened during the day while eating dinner.
Jiang Xun told everyone about the shameless behavior of the manager of Baibaoxuan.
Everyone was furious and wished they could rush up to Zhang Qinghua and yell at him.
This scene truly confirms the old saying, "Those who are not family will not enter the same door."
Finally, the conversation ended with everyone declaring that "the Jiang family will never buy anything from Baibaoxuan again."
When Jiang Xun mentioned the price of the deal with Ruixiangju, everyone got excited again. Their faces flushed, and they eagerly asked Jiang Xun for details.
Jiang Xun spoke animatedly, recounting all the details that everyone wanted to know.
Everyone praised Liu Qing, making her sound like a fairy descended from heaven.
Jiang Wanwan bit the end of her chopsticks, looking at the Jiang family members with a worried expression.
She was afraid that their emotions would surge so intensely that they would faint.
Grandma Jiang, with a hearty expression, slammed her hand on the table and said, "From now on, we'll buy everything from Ruixiangju."
Jiang Wanwan picked up a mushroom, put it in her mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it before speaking softly, "Grandma, things at Ruixiangju are very expensive. The cheapest items start at one or two taels. If you want to buy some, I'll take you to town tomorrow."
!!
Grandma Jiang's eyes widened, and she chuckled dryly a few times. "It's not like I absolutely have to buy this. I'll just support her in spirit."
One sentence caused everyone to burst into laughter.
The dinner was finished in a lively and cheerful manner.
After everyone worked together to clear the table and dishes, they sat down quietly, excitedly waiting for the most exciting moment of the day—counting money!
Zhu, with her sharp eyes, immediately noticed that there wasn't much hemp rope left on the shelf. She quickly stood up from her chair, "I'm afraid we're running out of hemp rope. I'll go get some more."
Just as she was about to leave, Jiang Wanwan called out to her, "Second Aunt, there's no need to bother. There aren't many copper coins today, so there's no need to go through all the trouble of counting them. Most of what they gave us was silver."
As she spoke, Jiang Wanwan took out several gleaming silver ingots and a pile of copper coins from her crossbody bag.
Seeing that the copper coins on the table were no longer piled up like a small mountain as usual, everyone couldn't help but feel disappointed.
These coins can be strung together in no time, and it's not enough to satisfy anyone!
After careful calculation, and after paying everyone fifteen coins for their work, today's income was sixteen taels and eight hundred and eighty-two coins.
The Jiang family was overjoyed by this.
After announcing that the stalls would be closed for the next day, the Jiang family's regular meeting was finally adjourned.
Jiang Wanwan quickly took a shower and went to bed early to rest.
*
The next morning, Jiang Wanwan woke up early due to her biological clock.
She stared blankly at the sky-blue bed curtains, a rhythmic "thump-thump" sound ringing in her ears.
Jiang Wanwan got out of bed, walked to the window, opened it, and looked outside. She saw that everyone in the Jiang family was busy with their own tasks, working hard to make mosquito coils.
Jiang Wanwan sighed and rubbed her forehead.
The Jiang family members can't stay idle, they simply can't stay idle.
Even if they were told they would be resting today, they would still get up on time to make mosquito coils.
"Granddaughter, you're awake. Grandma left you breakfast, it's warming up in the pot. Go eat after you wash up." The old lady looked at Jiang Wanwan with a smile.
Heaven knows how often she would peek out her beloved granddaughter's window, just so she could be the first to notice when her granddaughter woke up.
