When the family of four arrived at the market, Ning Wan and Ning Zhao were clamoring to get off the cart, while Ning Chen sat obediently on the ox cart and was unwilling to go shopping. Jiang Yuwei had to help the two children get off the cart first, and asked Ning Huaizhi to wait for her at the entrance of the vegetable market. Then she picked up the backpack and took the children into the vegetable market.

As soon as Jiang Yuwei entered the market, she first went to the butcher's shop to buy some meat and bones, then went to the grain store to buy some rice and flour, and then she took her two children to the snack shop and let the children pick out some of their favorite foods and pack them up.

As Jiang Yuwei and her child walked out of the snack shop, they saw an old man pushing a cart with a load of piglets and shouting:

"Full-term piglets, come and buy them if you want them, they are all plump and strong!"

Jiang Yuwei's eyes lit up and she hurried forward to inquire:

"Uncle, how many months old is your piglet?"

The uncle saw that there was a business coming, and he greeted them warmly:

"These piglets in my house are three months old. You can definitely raise them if you buy them. Look at how energetic and fat they are. They are doing very well!"

Jiang Yuwei nodded and walked forward to pat the pig's butt. She observed the piglets on the cart and pointed at three chubby ones and said:

"These are pretty good, uncle, give me a discount! I'll take them all if the price is right!"

The uncle saw Jiang Yuwei was about to buy three piglets at once and said with a smile:

"My piglets are big, and they are sold for 80 wen each. If you want them, I'll give you a discount. I'll charge you 230 wen for three."

Jiang Yuwei thought for a moment and said:

"I'll give you two hundred coins, if you give me all three, okay? If you take good care of them, I'll come back to buy piglets from you later!"

The uncle who was selling pigs gritted his teeth and said:

"Okay, I'll tie your legs, take it away!"

Jiang Yuwei counted out two hundred coins and handed them to her uncle, and asked him to help deliver the piglets to Ning Huaizhi's ox cart. Then they drove the ox cart towards Ningjia Village.

When they arrived at Ningjia Village, Jiang Yuwei first asked Ning Huaizhi to send Ning Chen to the headman's house, and then walked towards her own courtyard. On the way, she happened to meet Chen Guixiang and Old Man Ning who were returning from the fields.

Chen Guixiang was furious when she saw Jiang Yuwei sitting on the ox cart:

"Bah! My own mother has to walk up the mountain. You just spend all your time around your wife. When have you ever felt sorry for your parents?"

Ning Huaizhi listened to Chen Guixiang scolding his family without refutation or annoyance. He just greeted Old Man Ning:

"Dad, Mom, I just came back from the fields."

Old man Ning didn't say anything, but just stared at the piglets in the car and nodded with a gloomy face.

Seeing that her son did not respond to her words, Chen Guixiang muttered again:

"Bah! You have a good life at home, why do you have the conscience to care about your parents working so hard in the fields? Now that you have bought three piglets at once, I don't see you thinking of being filial to your parents now that you have money!"

Seeing Chen Guixiang talking endlessly, Jiang Yuwei said coldly:

"You are in good health. Don't think about being supported by your children at such a young age. It is your blessing to be able to work in the fields. If one day you really collapse on the kang, it will not be too late for us to honor you. We have things to do at home, so I won't talk nonsense with you. Let's go, Huaizhi!"

Ning Huaizhi nodded quickly after hearing Jiang Yuwei's words, and whispered to his parents:

"Mom and Dad, let's go back first."

Without waiting for their reply, he drove away in the ox cart.

Chen Guixiang watched the eldest brother and his family leave and stamped her feet in anger:

"What a sin! What a sin! This is going to piss me off to death. I shouldn't have raised this ungrateful wolf in the first place. Now he's just making wedding clothes for others. He really has forgotten his mother after marrying his wife!"

Old Man Ning frowned and looked at Chen Guixiang, whose face turned red with anger, and said in a deep voice:

"Have you forgotten how you drove the eldest brother's family out that day? Now that they are living a good life, don't be jealous. You will reap what you sow. From now on, the two of us will live a good life with the second brother's family."

After saying that, Old Man Ning ignored Chen Guixiang who was still standing there like crazy and walked straight towards his home.

When Jiang Yuwei arrived at the yard, she was busy unloading things. She had moved all the other things, but she didn't know how to move the three pigs by herself. She had to ask Ning Huaizhi to drive the ox cart to the backyard, and called Ning Wu and Tiezhu to move the pigs down and drive them to the pig shed.

Jiang Yuwei was thinking that her family would start raising pigs in the future, and they would need more cornmeal. She would have to take some time out at night to go to the space to dry all the ripe corn. After it was dried, she could use it to grind cornmeal to feed the pigs.

Ning Zhao was very curious when he saw Tiezhu and Ning Wu busy making paper, so he pulled Ning Wan to play in the paper mill.

Jiang Yuwei and Ning Huaizhi went to the front yard to prepare dinner. Ning Huaizhi looked at Jiang Yuwei worriedly and said:

"Wife, our Yuwei paper is of good quality and reasonably priced, but it has affected the business of Ge's Paper Shop. I'm afraid they won't let it go. In the future, if we run into this every time we go to town to sell paper, I'm afraid you'll suffer sooner or later. Now my legs are not good and I can only sit on a bullock cart. I can still deal with two or three people who don't know martial arts, but if they prepare in advance and kill me, I'm afraid..."

Jiang Yuwei thought for a moment and said:

"Then we won't set up a stall in town. After all, we have just started making paper, and there are only Tiezhu and Ningwu doing it, so we can't make much. Or we can think of a way to attract a few regular customers, so that the paper we make can be sold out quickly. We can also let customers make reservations in advance and make paper according to the quantity they reserve. In this way, we don't have to set up a stall, and we won't have to worry about selling our Yuwei paper."

Ning Huaizhi nodded, stuffed a piece of wood into the bottom of the pot and continued:

"The method you mentioned is good, but how can we attract a group of regular customers?"

At this time, Ning Zhao and Ning Wan also came back from the backyard. After hearing what Ning Huaizhi said, Ning Zhao hurriedly said:

"I have an idea. I will take these papers to the school to sell. Our papers are of high quality and reasonably priced. My classmates will definitely buy them!"

Jiang Yuwei smiled and touched Ning Zhao's head:

"Zhao'er, this idea is great. Anyone who has bought our Yuwei paper once will be a member of our company and can buy it at the member price. They can also enjoy the privilege of making reservations once a month. Zhao'er will be responsible for selling paper to classmates in the academy, and I can go to the bookstores and other stationery stores in town to see if they are willing to use our Yuwei paper."

Ning Wan, who was standing by, also listened attentively, blinking her eyes and asking curiously:

"Mother, when you were selling paper today, you said that you were selling it at a loss at 25 cents a piece. If you keep selling it like this in the future, will we lose everything?"

After Ning Wan finished speaking, she looked at her brick house with some worry, her eyes revealing a lot of reluctance.
