Li Fangfang angrily turned her face away. What was there for her not to do? She had her own savings anyway.
He Tiantian and Hong Erniang were listening intently when the carriage next door was driven away.
The voices of Gao Yinzhi and Li Fangfang gradually faded into the distance and became inaudible.
Hong Erniang looked at He Tiantian and asked with some curiosity, "Sister, did you know this Madam Li before? I think she seems to have a problem with you."
Tao was also very curious, and she discovered it today as well.
But how could her second sister-in-law have gotten involved with a wealthy woman? She couldn't understand it.
He Tiantian nodded and then recounted how she was looked down upon and scorned by Gao Yinzhi when she went to the Li residence, and how she retaliated without hesitation.
Hong Erniang was full of admiration upon hearing this, "Girl, you're incredibly bold!"
Good heavens, if it were her, she wouldn't dare even if she had the guts of a bear and the gall of a leopard.
He Tiantian smiled awkwardly; she wasn't the type to be easily manipulated.
The carriage traveled at a leisurely pace along the main road, heading towards the Rainbow Pavilion.
Inside the Ni Chang Pavilion, the manager was getting increasingly anxious. Although he knew that a considerable number of new clothes had been sold, he didn't know the exact figure.
That feeling of both nervousness and anticipation tormented him, making him restless.
Manager Guan stood at the door, glancing into the distance every now and then.
In just a short while, more than a dozen carriages passed by him, but he didn't see his own.
Manager Guan clenched his fists in anxiety.
Finally, after a short while, he saw the familiar carriage slowly approaching. Manager Guan excitedly patted his clothes, and a smile finally appeared on his tense face.
As the carriage drew closer, he hurried to greet it.
"My two elder sisters, you're finally back."
Hong Erniang, He Tiantian, and Tao Shi got out of the car. Everyone had a smile on their face, and they were in a very good mood, having chatted happily on the way back.
Seeing that Manager Guan looked anxious, Hong Erniang joked, "Manager Guan must be getting impatient, haha."
"Come on, let's go inside. We'll talk in detail inside," He Tiantian urged.
She was also very curious about how much money she had earned today.
The three of them went up to the second floor, and He Tiantian and Hong Erniang each drank a large bowl of tea.
After talking all day, their throats were practically parched.
Manager Guan and Hong Erniang each had a small abacus in their hands, while He Tiantian, who didn't know how to use an abacus, was responsible for counting the silver.
The three of them worked non-stop for an hour and finally tallied up 2,500 taels of silver.
The cost was about 900 taels, which means they made a net profit of 1,600 taels of silver in one day.
Shopkeeper Guan was overjoyed. Although he had made a lot of money selling silk scarves with Sister He last time, he had worked hard for more than three months and only made about a thousand taels of silver from those scarves.
This time, the new clothes earned him over a thousand taels of silver in just one day.
This is shocking! This money is so easy to make!
After counting the silver, the next step was to divide it up.
According to the previous agreement between Manager Guan and He Tiantian, the profits would be split 40/60. That is to say, He Tiantian would receive 640 taels, and Manager Guan would receive 960 taels.
The two had little objection to the division of the money.
Manager Guan took out another hundred taels and gave them to Hong Erniang, saying, "Good sister, we owe you a lot for your help this time. If it weren't for your full assistance, we wouldn't have been able to sell so much. This silver is a reward for your hard work."
Hong Erniang glanced at the hundred taels of silver in the money bag. Although it was very tempting, she felt uneasy holding onto the silver.
What kind of help was this? She should be grateful for this opportunity, as it taught her a lot.
Hong Erniang declined, embarrassed, "Oh, how can I accept this money? I'm just here to do odd jobs, and besides, I'm helping my own sister and brother, how could I accept money! Wouldn't that be insulting to me!"
He Tiantian couldn't help but smile; she knew Hong Erniang's personality somewhat.
So he said, "Little brother Guan, you'd better not give me any money. If my second sister's family needs any help in the future, you should be there for them. Next time we have a chance to make money, we can partner up."
Hong Erniang was very excited, "Oh right, let's work together to make money next time."
After the silver was distributed, it was completely dark.
Everyone was exhausted after a long day, their backs and legs aching terribly. Manager Guan wanted to treat everyone to a meal, but they simply didn't have the energy to eat.
He Tiantian returned home with the 640 taels of silver she had earned. After everyone had eaten dinner that evening, He Tiantian ate a few bites hastily and then gathered everyone together for a small family meeting.
She didn't shy away from saying how much money she had earned, but at the same time, she also emphasized how difficult and challenging it was to make money.
At first, the children were happy and excited about earning so much money, but after hearing the whole story and how difficult it was to earn it, they all fell silent.
My goodness, their mother is amazing!
If it were any of them, they probably wouldn't have had the courage to do that.
Finally, He Tiantian announced something very important: she was sending Zhao Xiaolan to study medicine, and had already contacted the best medical clinic in the city.
Zhao Denglong looked at Xiaolan happily and shook her arm.
"Sister Xiaolan, congratulations on your decision to study medicine."
Elaine Chao was very excited, and her eyes immediately welled up with tears.
"Auntie, thank you."
Zhao Yanniang exclaimed, "Heavens, Madam He, you're too kind-hearted!"
