The eldest sister-in-law soon came to the village and started chatting with her good sisters.

After only half a day, Mrs. Liu heard the whole village talking about it, and then she realized that the baby might not be her youngest son's.

He dragged Jiu Niang to the town's clinic, and was furious when he learned that the baby in Jiu Niang's belly was almost two months old.

Liu Wentao was already angry but had no place to vent it. Although he liked Jiu Niang very much, he was furious when he thought that this bitch had actually taken advantage of him and even said that the child was hers.

He didn't even ask for any medicine, but just dragged Jiu Niang home, hung her up and started beating her.

Jiu Niang was already very young during her pregnancy, and after being beaten so severely by Liu Wentao, she soon miscarried.

Liu Wentao no longer cared about the dying woman lying on the ground. He packed his bag and fled from the house overnight.

He knew that he would never be able to pay back the one hundred taels of silver, so it would be better to run away than to stay at home and be beaten to death by others.

Find a place where no one knows me and start a new life. I came to Old Lady Liu's room under the moonlight.

He picked up the wooden box under Old Lady Liu's bed and ran out of the village desperately.

When Mrs. Liu woke up, she found that her youngest son was missing. All the clothes related to her youngest son were gone from the house. Only then did she realize that her son had run away.

Suddenly he slapped his thigh and cried out "Oh no!"

He turned around and went back to his room. As expected, after searching under the bed for a long time, the wooden box was missing. It went without saying that his youngest son had taken it away.

Old Mrs. Liu cried and choked at home. When her other sons found out about this, they strongly demanded that the family be divided.

They all agreed that Mrs. Liu had given the family's money as a subsidy to her youngest son to pay off his debts.

...

Su Muyao was bored at home, so she started thinking about how to teach the women in the village to use flatbed carts.

It’s easy to get started with this thing, but if you want to do it well it will take at least a month.

When they were thinking about how much money to give to everyone in the first month, Long Yuan came to them.

He saw that the workshop was very busy during this period, but he didn't see anyone delivering the 100,000 tents he wanted.

"Little guy, when are you going to start working on the 100,000 tents you promised me?"

"The construction has started recently, but it will take about three or four months for you to get it."

Long Yuan thought about it and decided that it wouldn’t matter if it was three or four months late since the weather was hot anyway.

After seeing Long Yuan off, Su Muyao told her father that she was planning to recruit a skilled woman from the neighborhood.

Even if I could do some needlework, that would be fine.

"What did you say? 50 is too many."

"There aren't many, sir. I received an order for 50 tents. These people are definitely not enough."

After hearing this, Old Man Su nodded. Although he didn't know how to build 100,000 tents, his granddaughter was capable and it was not his business.

As for the money for this order, Old Man Su never asked about it. His granddaughter had her own plans, and the old couple didn't want to take advantage of her.

Su Muyao suddenly thought of explaining the money issue to Old Man Su, "Grandpa, I'll keep this money for now. I'll need it later, so why not give it to you and grandma?"

"My dear, all the money you earn will be kept with you. Grandpa and grandma won't need the money. My dear, you will do big things in the future and will have many more places to spend money."

Su Muyao didn't want to make the old man worry, so she didn't say that she hadn't received the money for the tent yet.

Old Man Su hurried to the village chief's house and told the old village chief that he wanted to recruit all the women in the village who could do needlework.

In addition, we also found the old village chief and told the village chiefs of other villages that we were looking to recruit women who could do needlework.

The next morning, when Su Muyao got up, she found that there was a crowd of people crowding in front of the gate of her yard.

I saw a group of women standing in rows, chattering.

"Hey, this is the Su family's lucky little boy! Look how handsome he is."

There was a sharp-eyed woman in the crowd. When she saw Su Muyao who had just washed up in the yard, she immediately began to flatter her.

She was not stupid. She had heard that the newly opened workshop was run by this little kid.

Whether they can successfully enter the workshop to work today depends on a word from the little girl in front of them.

Old Man Su didn't expect these people to come so early.

Su Muyao didn't even have time to eat breakfast. She quickly washed up and brought the group of people to the workshop.

The little girl stood in the crowd with her hands behind her back, looking particularly funny.

"Aunts and sisters, I have a batch of tents that need to be made, but this is a new production technique and not hand-sewing, so everyone needs to familiarize themselves with the machine first."

After saying that, he led this huge group of people to the large workshop on the far right.

As soon as everyone entered, they saw rows and rows of things they had never seen before.

It looks all white but no one knows what material it is made of. Someone boldly touched it and said, "It should be made of iron."

Su Muyao ignored their curious looks and continued, "I will teach you how to use this. Of course, you have to learn this thing slowly in the early stages, so only those with patience can stay, while those who are impatient are not suitable."

As soon as Su Muyao said this, the crowd instantly quieted down.

They heard from the village chief last night that the Su family in the neighboring village was recruiting, and they were so excited that they couldn't sleep the whole night.

In such a famine year, it is a blessing to have some income, no matter how much.

Now listening to what Little Lucky Star said, fearing that he would be eliminated, he heard the chattering of the crowd making promises.

"Little Lucky Star, don't worry, I'm very careful"

"I am also meticulous and I used to make embroidered quilts for people in this town. I should be able to get the hang of making the tent you mentioned quickly."

"Be quiet for a moment and listen to me.

The main reason why we need to learn this is because we are afraid that you will give up halfway, so we want you to think it through first."

"Hey, little lucky star, don't worry, as long as you don't drive us away, I'm willing to learn no matter how difficult it is."

The one who spoke was Madam Zhao. Madam Zhao was very clever and had been making handkerchiefs.

It’s just that my husband got tuberculosis a few years ago and has been taking medicine to treat it.

As a result, the business in the town was not so good some time ago, so I told Madam Zhao that she would not be required to show her handkerchiefs anymore.

I was originally still worried about where the medical expenses would come from in the future.

It just so happened that I got the news that the Su family was recruiting someone, preferably one who knew some needlework. When I heard this, I felt that I would definitely be able to do the job.

"Let me talk about the money first. I will teach you for the first three days. If you can't hold on, you will only get food but no money."

"After three days, if you quit midway, you will only get 15 cents a day."

As soon as these words were spoken, the people below started talking. 15 cents a day was a lot for them.

"The first month is 20 wen a day, the second month is guaranteed to be 30 wen a day, plus piecework."

This time, a young woman in the audience asked, "Xiao Fuxing, what is piecework?"

"Piecework means the more you work, the more you get. The more you do, the more money you get than others."

"Oh, so that's how it is. I understand."
