She took out the contract she had just signed with Boss Bai from her sleeve, waved it in front of the Jiang family, raised her eyebrows, and said smugly, "Not only did he not make things difficult for me, but he also signed a big order with our family. Here, take a look."
Upon hearing that it was a large order, the Jiang family members were filled with excitement and couldn't wait to see the words on the contract.
Seeing so many hands reaching upwards, Old Lady Jiang stamped her foot, looking extremely nervous, and quickly stopped everyone, "Hey, don't grab it, don't grab it, be careful you don't tear the contract to shreds!"
This shout startled everyone in the Jiang family. They quickly pulled their hands back, but their eyes remained glued to the contract.
"Give it to the third son, give it to the third son. He knows more characters." Old Mrs. Jiang carefully took the contract from Jiang Wanwan's hand, and then carefully handed it to Jiang Jialin.
Jiang Jialin read ten lines at a glance, and when he saw the number of mosquito coils, a glint of light appeared in his eyes.
Despite his calm demeanor, his trembling fingers gripping the contract betrayed a turbulent inner turmoil.
No wonder she's his precious daughter, how can she be so capable?
In just a short while, they secured a large order and earned 120 taels of silver.
A sense of pride welled up inside him, as if he were the one who had secured this huge order.
At the same time, Jiang Jialin felt a surge of soreness and tightness in his heart.
My precious daughter is so young, yet she has to shoulder heavy responsibilities for the family. Ultimately, it's my own fault for being so useless, for not being able to provide her with a life of luxury and comfort.
No, tonight I must study so hard that I can become the top scholar in the imperial examination as soon as possible, so that I can live up to my precious daughter's hard work!
Grandma Jiang and the others were extremely anxious when they saw that Jiang Jialin remained silent for a long time.
"Oh dear, third son, hurry up and tell me! You're driving your old mother crazy!" Old Mrs. Jiang slapped her thigh and urged anxiously.
"Yes, Third Uncle, please speak quickly, we're getting anxious!" Jiang He craned his neck to look at the contract.
Jiang Jialin snapped out of his daze, smiled apologetically, and said in a low voice, "Yes, it is indeed a large order, a total of 35,000 volumes."
"Thirty-five thousand volumes!" Jiang He shouted, his voice cracking, his eyes wide open, and he jumped three feet high.
Hu was startled and quickly covered Jiang He's mouth with her hand, whispering, "You brat, why are you shouting so loudly!"
Keep quiet and make a fortune, you know?
As she spoke, Mrs. Hu's gaze swept towards the area under the big locust tree.
Following Hu's gaze, the Jiang family looked over and saw the villagers under the big locust tree staring at them, a dozen or so people, with wide, inquisitive eyes and pricked-up ears, as if afraid of missing something important.
The Jiang family members tacitly shut their mouths, their expressions instantly turning serious.
There are too many people and too many eyes around here; this isn't the place to talk. If you have something to say, let's go home first.
So, the Jiang family hurried home. On their way home, many villagers tried to subtly inquire about the mosquito coils and the content of their conversation with Boss Bai.
But the Jiang family refuted them with a few words, and not a single piece of information was revealed.
After returning home, Jiang Jiang tightly closed the gate to the courtyard.
After holding it in all the way home, Madam Hu finally couldn't contain herself any longer. Looking at Jiang Jialin, she asked eagerly, "Third Uncle, did Boss Bai really order 35,000 volumes?"
