Zhou Ning checked Qi Ji carefully and said that he was fine. He explained some precautions to Bai Zhao and left with Shen You.

Shen Shi took the three brothers of the Shen family to file a complaint, but Zhou Ning said that they only needed to let the government know about this quietly.

As expected, the officials did not take the matter seriously. It was freezing cold, the Shen family was not a wealthy family, and no one was killed. They just registered the incident and there was no follow-up.

Zhou Ning said that he didn't know whether the Zhou family knew about what Zhou Sanlang had done. If they didn't know about it, he would go to the government and publicize the matter so that the Zhou family would know. Not only would they cause trouble, but they might even find Zhou Sanlang.

According to the weather that day and Shen You's description, Zhou Sanlang would most likely die if no one rescued him, and he could not be allowed to have a chance of survival.

The Shen family agreed with Zhou Ning's idea and did as she said.

The Shen family now has some money. Shen Shi has made a stable profit of five taels this year. The Shen family's land is usually rented out to others, and then they collect rent. This year they still collected five taels, which is considered very cheap.

Shen Zhong and Shen Xin usually help others copy books and earn some money. Shen You said that the money she earned was enough to spend and there was no need for them to work hard to make money. Shen Zhong said that the money was Shen You's own, and she could review while copying books.

There was also Shen Yi, who earned thirty taels of silver by himself. Liu Qingxiu discussed with Shen Yi and decided to save twenty-five taels of silver for him, leaving five taels for him to use at his own discretion.

The ones that make the most money have to be hot pot restaurants. Winter is coming, and wealthy people have eaten and seen everything, so they want to try something different, so hot pot restaurants naturally make a lot of money.

Although I earn a lot every day, the business is open for a short time, so the profit is not particularly much, but it still amounts to about three or four hundred taels.

Liu Qingxiu and Shen Shi discussed it and decided to let Shen You keep it himself.

Shen You was shocked, after all, Shen Yi's money was kept by Liu Qingxiu.

Liu Qingxiu said that although she is young, she is cautious in her work and Liu Qingxiu believes that she can manage it well.

Shen You thought about it and agreed.

The factory was not considered as the property of the Shen family, and it was only said that it would be given to Zhou Ning as a dowry in the future. However, Zhou Ning still gave a part of it to Liu Qingxiu, because Liu Qingxiu had to worry about daily expenses, food and clothing, so Liu Qingxiu accepted it.

At the end of the year, when Zhou Wan spread out the account book for Zhou Ning to see, Zhou Ning and Shen You covered each other's mouths.

The same question is: So many?!

After deducting costs, labor, and money for famine preparedness, this year's income still leaves a surplus of a little over 1,000 taels.

It turns out that it’s easiest to make money from women.

There are a total of 38 female workers in the factory, 27 of whom are married and 11 are unmarried.

Zhou Ning gave them year-end bonuses, one or two taels each.

He also gave each of the three best employees a reward of two taels of silver and promoted them to team leaders, one of whom was Zhou Sanhua.

Zhou Sanhua has been living in the field. Most of the money she earned before was taken away by her husband's family. When she first came here, she was penniless.

Fortunately, the factory pays money daily, and Zhou Sanhua can use the money to ask her aunt and sister-in-law to bring her some daily necessities and food.

It’s not that people from Grandma Hua’s family didn’t come to make trouble on Wednesday, but they were protected by the teenagers doing handicrafts.

Zhou Sanhua herself has also changed a lot.

In the past, even if she made a lot of money, she still had to do a lot of housework and her daughter still suffered.

But now, she can decide what she wants to eat and what she wants to wear, and the eldest and second daughters have become much more cheerful.

The first time Zhou Ning saw her: Zhou Sanhua sighed and said why her life was so miserable.

The second time Zhou Ning saw her: Zhou Sanhua was cooking braised pork and said she didn’t want to mention it anymore.

The Nth time Zhou Ning saw her: Zhou Sanhua was chatting with someone while holding melon seeds and laughing.

Overall, she is getting better and better.

Farmers have been staying at home these days, and the Shen family is no exception.

The weather outside was so cold that Qingyi didn't allow Zhou Ning and Shen You to practice martial arts.

Qi Ji had just recovered from a serious injury and hadn't practiced much, but Bai Zhao, wow, was working so hard.

In addition to visiting her "big baby" Xiao Miao every day, Shen You also stays at home.

Apart from reading and practicing calligraphy under the supervision of Shen Shi, the two had nothing to do.

In fact, Liu Qingxiu and Zhou Wan were also quite bored, so they came up with a way to avoid being bored - making clothes for Zhou Ning and Shen You.

When buying New Year's goods, Zhou Wan picked and chose. This material is comfortable, that material is bright, this one is suitable for little girls, and that color is what Shen You likes. In the end, she bought a big bag of cloth.

So Liu Qingxiu and Zhou Wan thought about making clothes for Zhou Ning and Shen You every day. After finishing the winter ones, they would make summer ones.

Finally, Zhou Ning suggested making pajamas for everyone in the family.

After listening to Zhou Ning's description, Liu Qingxiu nodded and started to do it.

Zhou Ning's pajamas were pink pure cotton pajamas with a pocket sewn on them.

Shen You's pajamas were a blue nightgown with a hem sewn on the edge.

In addition to making clothes, Shen You spends her time thinking about food and reading agricultural books.

Zhou Ning looked at medical books and tried acupuncture. She gave acupuncture to all members of the Shen family, including Qing Yi and Bai Zhao. She even gave acupuncture to Qi Ji as well, because Zhou Ning saw that he was almost recovered. She said that if I didn't improve my medical skills, how could I save you?

This winter is particularly cold. When it doesn't snow, Shen You would show the Shen family his double sword skills while sweeping the snow in the yard.

The Shen family never gets tired of this.

As for the Zhou family, Mrs. Li knew that Zhou Sanlang had kidnapped Zhou Ning. She felt that this was a suspicious matter from the beginning. After all, Zhou Ning was a very evil little girl.

But she didn't want Zhou Ning to have an easy time, so she allowed Zhou Sanlang to kidnap Zhou Ning, thinking that Zhou Sanlang was no match for a ten-year-old girl.

But as the days passed, Zhou Ning was full of life, but Zhou Sanlang was nowhere to be seen.

Mrs. Li was panicked, but Zhou Sanlang was not at home on weekdays. Maybe he just decided to do something else on a whim. Seeing that his family was not in a hurry, Mrs. Li didn't think about it anymore.

A kang was installed in the small hut in advance. Although it was a small hut, Liu Qingxiu also asked someone to repair it, so it was no different from an ordinary house, and the indoor temperature was not low.

Chunfeng took good care of his younger sisters. They are not so skinny anymore, and the one who grew the fastest has some flesh on her face.

However, at the beginning, even though Chunfeng was rich, he didn't dare to spend lavishly on buying them things because he was afraid of being poor.

How was this discovered?

The factory gives female workers some snacks every day, sometimes red dates, sometimes desserts.

The other female workers were used to it and ate slowly, chatting while eating.

Only the two twin sisters ate very quickly and anxiously. Zhou Wan then realized that although the sisters were not hungry, their food was very bland, just some vegetables.

Although the twins said that it was good enough as long as they were not hungry, Zhou Wan said that they were still children and were still growing. She talked to Chunfeng about it, and Chunfeng improved their meals. They used to eat less than once a week, but now they have meat every day. Shen You also gives them dairy products from time to time.
