Gu Guangzhi held the 1,000-liang silver note and burst into tears.

Nangong Yun took out a handkerchief and wiped his tears. She patted his back gently like she was coaxing a child: "Alright, alright, don't cry anymore."

Zhu Meijun joked, "My dear, please don't cry. If you cry, I will cry too. Our grandson is really filial! Some old guys in the village said that our Huai'er doesn't respect the elderly. Bullshit! Our Huai'er is just not filial! If anyone says Huai'er is unfilial again, I will dig up his eight generations of ancestors' graves to see how filial he is!"

When Zhu Meijun said this, everyone laughed and the awkward atmosphere disappeared instantly.

Gu Qinghuai continued to distribute money.

Zhao Ying managed the soap workshop and was busy from morning to night every day. For her hard work and great contributions, Gu Qinghuai gave her eight hundred taels of silver.

Gu Qingtao also worked in the soap workshop. Because she did not work there for long, Gu Qinghuai only gave her one hundred taels of silver.

Gu Qingtao's hands were shaking as she held the silver. She was very nervous because she had never touched so much money before.

There were four servants working in the soap workshop: Danggui, Shouwu, An Fengshou and An Liang. They were all very diligent and never cheated. Gu Qinghuai rewarded them with thirty taels of silver each.

Danggui and Shouwu were both old enough to get married, and they took the silver, thinking in their minds that in two years they would ask their master to help them find a wife, so that their children would be house-born and could follow their master forever.

Gu Heng worked very hard managing Fenghe Farm, and Gu Qinghuai gave him six hundred taels.

Yi Ren and Lu Yongmei, who were busy with housework at home, received twenty taels each.

Ganoderma lucidum, Anshui and ginseng who worked in the pharmaceutical workshop received ten taels of bonus each. Since the pharmaceutical workshop had not started to make money yet, the year-end bonus was not much. However, after the beginning of the year, the pharmaceutical workshop would officially open for business and the year-end bonus would definitely double. Gu Qinghuai explained this to the three of them.

In addition to working in the pharmaceutical workshop, Lingzhi was also Gu Qinghuai's personal maid, so an extra five taels of silver was added.

It was after the New Year, Ren Shen was only thirteen years old and An Shui was only eleven years old, and they were so excited to get ten taels of silver that their faces turned red.

Hearing from the Third Miss that the year-end bonus would be doubled next year, they both secretly made up their minds to work hard in the new year and help the Third Miss build up the pharmaceutical workshop to catch up with the soap workshop.

Amber, who was in charge of the gate and the vegetable garden, received a reward of twenty taels.

The An family of five received 110 taels of silver as year-end bonus alone.

The family sat together, looking at each other, and we all felt like we were dreaming.

Before they sold themselves into slavery, they worked hard in the fields in their hometown village, but could not get even half a tael of silver all year round and were bullied by the village tyrants. They had only been in the master's house for half a year, and they had 110 taels of silver in their hands. It was really unbelievable.

Kuhua Nai's bamboo weaving was sold for more than ten taels of silver. At the beginning, Kuhua Nai said that she would split the profit with Gu Qinghuai in 50-50, and Gu Qinghuai gave her ten taels of silver.

Kuhuanai was so moved that she burst into tears.

Where had she ever touched so much silver in her life?

In the past, she worked like a workhorse for her children, reluctant to eat and wear clothes, and was willing to give her children her whole heart. However, when her children grew up, they felt that she was a burden and wished she would die soon.

If it weren’t for Huai girl, the grass on her grave would have grown very tall.

Members of the Cui family served as guards, and each person was paid fifty taels.

Shao Cuihuan and her daughter each received thirty taels.

The mother and daughter felt that the work they did was not worth thirty taels, and both wanted to return the silver.

Gu Qinghuai smiled and said, "Sister Xiaohe is already eighteen years old, Aunt Cuihuan doesn't want to buy her a dowry?"

Shao Cuihuan then stopped refusing and kowtowed to Gu Qinghuai dozens of times in her heart.

In fact, her daughter is already 19 after the Chinese New Year, an old maid, and she is very anxious, but it is not easy to find a good son-in-law.

Gu Qingsong, Gu Qingya, Gu Qingmiao and Gu Shuyin will be rewarded with five taels each if they do what they can for the family whenever they have time.

Although Ye Nu had just come to the family, he was very diligent and took good care of Youling and Chiyan. Gu Qinghuai gave him one or two taels of silver.

The little kids Shuya, Shumiao and Yin'er were given one hundred coins each.

Those who received the money were all filled with joy.

Two and a half year old Shu Miao held a handful of copper coins, his eyes wide open: "Money! Oh my God, so much money! Jiu, Jiu, go buy some candy!"

The little guy is now plump and chubby, and looks so cute that everyone laughs.

Yin'er was about the same age as her. Holding a handful of copper coins, he ran towards Yi Ren with his short legs, dropping the copper coins as he ran. When he arrived in front of Yi Ren, he had only a few copper coins left in his hand. "Mom, I have so much money, I'll give it all to you."

The older children followed her and helped her pick up the coins, laughing.

Yi Ren didn't expect her little girl to be so sensible. She felt so distressed that her eyes turned red. She squatted down, picked up Yin Er and kissed her again and again.

Gu Shuyin walked up to Gu Qingtao and handed her five taels of silver: "Mother, here's the money."

Gu Qingtao was afraid that she would lose the money, so she took it and said, "Yin'er, this money is still yours. Mother will save it for you and use it as your dowry in the future."

He saved all the money from his three daughters, keeping track of every detail, and gave the money to them when they got married.

"I don't want any dowry. The money I earn is for my mother. I will provide for her in her old age," Gu Shuyin said, patting his chest.

Gu Shuya also followed her sister's example and gave a hundred coins to Gu Qingtao.

Only the youngest child, Shumiao, wanted to go to Grandpa Meng's house to buy some candy.

Gu Qingtao left her two cents and asked her to buy some candy.

She took the two cents, held Yin'er's hand, and the two little ones ran towards Meng's house.

Zhao Ying did not take the money from Gu Qingsong, Gu Qingya and Gu Qingmiao, and asked them to keep it themselves.

Huai'er said that children should learn to manage wealth from an early age, and those small amounts of money are just right for them to practice.

She also wanted to see how the three little kids would treat the five taels of silver.

I guess Song'er will save the money. It will be five taels this year, and it will be five taels next year, the year after next... and it will still be five taels ten years later.

Yaya will also save money, but she might buy some gifts for her family.

Miaomiao is the most difficult to guess. No one knows how she will spend the money.

After distributing the year-end bonuses, Gu Qinghuai gave all the servants in the house a body-strengthening pill and a strength pill.

After half a year of living together day and night, Gu Qinghuai understood their characters and made this decision after careful consideration.

These servants had all signed death contracts, which were equivalent to her private property. Of course, she wanted to increase the value of her private property.

Moreover, if the servants are in good health, they will not bring illness to their families.

The servants worked hard so that they had the energy to do the work, especially the soap workshop, which started working on the second day of the Chinese New Year. In the new year, the soap business will surely reach a new level.

At noon, the Meng family came over to pay New Year's greetings. Gu Qinghuai also invited his second uncle's family over, and the three families had a meal together.

Meng Wubing always liked to get close to Gu Qinghuai no matter what, and would compete with Qi Yuanshuo for holding little Huhu.

Qi Yuanshuo was very sensitive and noticed something.
