Chapter 292 Aunt Shen is here
"Without that kind of capability, we wouldn't dare to build such a large workshop."
Su Wanwan has never concealed her family's financial resources, and the government's rewards have always been fair and aboveboard. Anyone who is interested can tell how much money her family has.
Silver was valuable in ancient times and was enough to build a workshop without arousing suspicion.
What's more, there was a reward from the imperial court last time. Although there was no money and only a piece of calligraphy, other people didn't know about it. They only knew that the imperial court gave commendations, and they all guessed that it was more than what the county gave.
"That's right. Our Wanwan is really capable. She has received so many rewards from the government."
Zhao Yan chuckled.
"No amount of money can stop you from doing that. Listen to your aunt. How about we settle the portion of the braised meat that needs to be given to you once a month?"
Zhang Cuihua couldn't figure out the accounts. She only saw that the workshop was so big that the daily wages were flowing out. No matter how much the government rewarded her, it would not be enough to pay for the production.
Su Wanwan did not refuse this time. Her aunt was afraid that her family would run out of money.
Never mind, just answer it.
I have made some small profit recently.
Feng Gang was given some money for his cabinet business, and the Zhaojia Kiln Workshop in the town also sent him a share of the profits.
She can earn money just by lying down, and her life is very happy.
Speaking of this, she thought that wealthy families would like that cabinet more, so she had already introduced it to Ye Jingxue and Lin Wenyue. The two girls naturally liked that cabinet very much when they saw it.
Especially Lin Wenyue, as the daughter of the prefect, she has many young ladies in the whole prefecture and province. When her cabinet is ready, it will be necessary to publicize it.
I believe that it won’t be long before Feng Gang’s family can expand their business, and Liu’s furniture will soon become popular in Beichang Prefecture.
The more Su Wanwan thought about it, the more beautiful it seemed. She had traveled through time and space and unexpectedly became an investor in ancient times.
Several children had also finished their lessons and were taking a break to play and chatter in the yard.
Su Wanwan discovered that the two girls from her second brother's family had become much more lively recently, and seemed to have come out of the shadow of their parents' divorce.
Especially Shen Datao, who is sensible and well-behaved. During the break, she immediately went to the kitchen to help grandma and aunt cook.
She seemed to really like cooking, and Zhao Yan was willing to teach her niece. When she was cooking, she would let her watch from the side, and sometimes even let her try it herself.
Su Wanwan sat on a chair, looking at this thriving scene, feeling a warm feeling in her heart.
The days we live today are so good that even gods wouldn’t change.
Just when I was enjoying it, I heard a shout from outside the door.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I'm back."
The voice was unfamiliar.
Su Wanwan is now familiar with all the wives and girls in the village, but she has never heard of this voice.
The children in the yard were too noisy, and my aunt and sister-in-law in the kitchen didn't seem to hear anyone calling them, nor did they know who the word "sister-in-law" was referring to.
The door was not closed. When Su Wanwan was about to get up to greet them, she saw a woman walking in with a man and a woman.
All are unfamiliar faces.
The woman was probably in her thirties. She brought two people with her, a man who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, and a girl who was about the same age as Shen Qing.
Shen Xinru heard the hustle and bustle inside the room before she even entered. The first person she saw when she entered was Su Wanwan who had already stood up.
She was startled and almost thought she had walked into the wrong door.
Not knowing the person, Su Wanwan didn't say anything.
However, Shen Fengshou, who was standing next to him, recognized this person at once.
"Auntie!"
Shen Fengshou shouted, and Shen Xinru's attention turned to the children.
"A good harvest?"
She shouted tentatively, her eyes were red and her voice was choked.
Zhang Cuihua in the kitchen finally heard the noise and ran out with a spatula. When she saw the person at the door, she was also surprised and her eyes suddenly became red for a long time.
"Xinru, it's Xinru who's back."
Shen Xinru wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes, walked up to Zhang Cuihua, and actually knelt down with a plop.
The two children she brought with her also knelt in front of Zhang Cuihua along with their mother.
"Sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for two years. Thank you for your hard work."
When Shen Xinru knelt, it seemed as if she was not kneeling to her sister-in-law but to her parents, and she knelt willingly.
She was the youngest. When her eldest sister-in-law came into the family, she was only five years old.
It can be said that she was raised by her eldest sister-in-law. The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and her eldest sister-in-law is like her mother.
Zhang Cuihua also immediately stepped forward and helped the person up.
"Get up, what are you doing? Kneeling is not customary in our family."
Shen Xinru stood up, but the two children behind her did not stand up, so Zhang Cuihua wanted to help them again.
"This is Baolin and Ping'er, they are this big now."
Zhang Cuihua looked at the two children again and almost burst into tears.
"Aunt, Baolin kowtows to you."
"Ping'er also kowtows to you."
The two children bowed respectfully and then stood up.
"Well...we are all grown-up kids now."
Zhang Cuihua also wiped away her tears, looked at the three of them, and immediately called Wanwan over.
"Wanwan, come quickly, this is Shen Yuan and his aunt, this is your cousin Wang Ping, and this is your cousin Wang Baolin."
Su Wanwan had already figured out the identities of the people on the side and immediately came forward to greet them.
"Hello, auntie. I am Shen Yuan's wife, Su Wanwan."
She introduced herself.
Wang Baolin and Wang Ping couldn't help but look at her.
However, Wang Baolin quickly lowered his head and dared not look. However, Wang Ping's eyes flashed with amazement and she looked at him a few more times.
This cousin’s wife is really beautiful.
"Well, if Third Brother is still alive in heaven, he must be very pleased."
Shen Xinru held Su Wanwan's hand, but her body stiffened and she immediately pulled her hand back embarrassedly.
This niece's wife's hands are so soft and delicate, as if they have no bones. Be careful not to scratch her with your rough old hands.
Su Wanwan felt the roughness of her aunt's hands.
It is normal for a farmer's wife to have rough hands. Most of the wives in the village have hands that are not very smooth, but it is rare to see hands as rough as this.
Su Wanwan just held her hand, as if she didn't care at all.
"Aunt, you're back just in time. My aunt has cooked a lot of delicious dishes today. It's a good time for us to be reunited as a family."
Shen Xinru looked down and saw the tender little white hand holding hers, and couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in her heart.
This niece-in-law is so beautiful, and you can tell at a glance that she was spoiled, but he doesn't even look down on her, which shows that she is a good person.
"Okay, Ping'er, Baolin, come and meet your third cousin's wife."
Wang Ping and Wang Baolin came over immediately to greet her and called her "cousin-in-law" in unison.
"What about Shen Yuan? I haven't seen him since he went to serve in the military when he was fourteen."
Shen Xinru looked around and didn't see her nephews, so she asked immediately.
"They all went to the workshop to work. They will be back soon. Look, Zhao'er is here."
