A time-travelling peasant girl becomes a wealthy woman

Huang Bo came out with a rather large bamboo cage, which contained thirty ceramic jars separated by straw to prevent them from being damaged on the way home.

Seeing that Huang Bo paid but did not leave, Qian Donglai asked suspiciously: "Old Huang, is there anything else?"

Huang Bo smiled and said, "There is something going on. My daughter wants you to make something for her."

"Little girl?" Qian Donglai looked at Huang Mulin, "What are you going to do?"

Huang Mulin took out the blueprint of the squat toilet from his small purse and handed it to him.

Qian Donglai reached out to take it and opened it. Huang Mulin stood on tiptoe, pointed at the drawing and the notes next to it, and explained to him the purpose, requirements, structure, etc. of the squat toilet one by one.

The more Qian Donglai listened, the brighter his eyes became, and his hands were shaking. They were afraid that he would tear up the drawings in excitement.

"Uncle, can you do it?"

Huang Mulin saw how excited he was and thought there might be a chance.

"I'll have to think about it."

Although Qian Donglai was very interested in this thing called squat toilet, he did not dare to make big promises because a businessman must be honest.

Huang Mulin's family waited for him to think.

"This is good stuff!"

Qian Donglai suddenly shouted, startling Huang Mulin and others.

Huang Bo rolled his eyes at him unceremoniously, "Of course it's a good thing! Just tell me if you can do it."

Qian Donglai remained silent, staring at the blueprint for a while, then looked at Huang Mulin and asked, "Did you come up with this?"

Huang Mulin nodded.

Qian Donglai took a deep breath. What good fortune did Huang Bo have to have such a daughter? He was so angry!

"Old Huang, did you pick up the wrong girl?"

Huang Bo glared and said viciously: "My daughter was born in my home from my wife's belly, how could I have taken the wrong one?"

"It's hard to say."

Qian Donglai muttered to himself, looking unconvinced.

"Hey, Lao Qian, if you're jealous just say it."

Huang Bo refused to do that.

"I won't tell you even if I'm jealous."

Huang Mulin was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when he saw the two grown men bickering.

Qian Donglai is a very interesting person.

Huang Haolin saw that Huang Bo was a little out of control, so he quickly pulled the corner of his clothes.

Huang Bo glared at Qian Donglai, but the other party ignored him and kept his eyes on the drawing.

"Uncle Qian, are you sure?"

Huang Haolin asked directly.

"Sixty percent." Qian Donglai said after studying for a long time, "I want to try it first. I'm not sure when the finished product will be ready. When do you want it?"

"No hurry. Our construction craftsman will take half a month to arrive, and we still have to discuss the details of the construction with him. Besides..." Huang Bo was very proud, "The new house will be built into a quadrangle courtyard, which is not a job that can be completed in two or three days."

"A quadrangle with two entrances?" Qian Donglai looked at him in surprise: "This will cost a lot of money!"

"No shortage of money!"

"You're not short of money, why are you so poor?"

"You are the poor one!"

"I wear this for work!"

"I only wear it when I work!"

The two began to quarrel again.

"Dad, Uncle Qian."

Huang Haolin had a headache. Why didn’t he realize that these two people were so argumentative before?

The two of them hummed and stopped talking.

Huang Haolin spoke quickly: "Uncle Qian, our family is going to build a house and a workshop, and we will need a large supply of pottery jars in the future. As for the quantity, it has not been determined yet, but after Tang Da, the shopkeeper of Weimancheng, promotes it outside Linhai Town, he should want a larger quantity."

After hearing about the manager Tang from Weimancheng, Qian Donglai also became serious.

Tang Qian is quite famous among local merchants, although they don't have much dealings with each other.

"You guys are cooperating with Manager Tang?"

"Yes, we have signed a contract regarding the sale of fermented bean curd."

"Hehe, just be envious." This is Huang Bo.

Qian Donglai's teeth were itching.

"Uncle, we can make money together."

Huang Mulin interrupted.

"How to say?"

She pointed to the drawing still in Qian Donglai's hand.

"I plan to cooperate with the craftsman who built the house. I will provide the design and he will be responsible for the construction. If anyone wants to buy a squat toilet, they will have to come to Uncle Qian because other people don't have this thing."

"How do you want to cooperate, little girl?"

Oh, it’s a waste to give such a good girl to Huang Bo.

"Uncle Qian, you try it first. Once you make a usable finished product and determine the cost, I will buy it and install it in our new house and workshop."

"After it's built, I'll invite Uncle Tang to my house and ask him to help me promote it. Of course, I'll also invite you, Uncle Qian, to the banquet."

Huang Mulin was very confident. "There is no squat toilet in the entire Tianxiang Kingdom! Of course, other countries probably don't have it either."

Qian Donglai still believes this.

"I'll make the finished product first, and we'll take care of the rest later." Qian Donglai took the job, "Don't worry, I won't reveal this drawing to anyone."

"Mu Mu naturally believes in Uncle Qian."

The two parties confirmed their intention and signed a confidentiality agreement.

Huang Bo and Qian Donglai argued with each other for a while, then said goodbye and went home.

He Hui's mother went back to her parents' home and mentioned that Mu Mu wanted to come over to visit. He Mingliang and others were very happy. Two days later, He Yian happened to have a day off, so they made an appointment for that day.

After having lunch at her parents' house, He Hui's mother went to the next village to find He Jing's mother.

Jiangjia Village, where He Jingniang married, is only a quarter of an hour's walk from Hejia Village.

The two villages are close to each other. It is said that when the villages were first built, the populations of the two villages were not large, so they were simply put together to make it convenient for neighbors to take care of each other.

He Jingniang and her family were all there. They had just finished their meal and were preparing to take a nap. When they saw He Huiniang, they quickly called her in and poured her some water.

My brother-in-law Jiang Dayou said hello and went back to the house to avoid suspicion.

He Jingniang's two children, Jiang Yuzhen and Jiang Zhiyuan, don't have much impression of He Huiniang.

The main reason was that Huang Bo's family was poor before, so he seldom gave gifts when he went out. During the Chinese New Year and other holidays, he would just hurriedly give some gifts and then leave.

When their whole family went there for dinner, He Mingliang and Zheng Jiaojiao always gave their grandson some pocket money, and Huang Bo and his wife took some food and things with him. They felt that this was not good.

He Mingliang and Zheng Jiaojiao saw this and felt both comforted and distressed, but the couple couldn't be too biased, so they could only secretly give He Hui Niang some money from time to time.

Ever since Huang Mulin recovered from his injury when he was one year old, He Hui Niang went to the town to take on embroidery work and never took the money given by her parents again. She also bought more New Year gifts for He Mingliang and his wife, but still did not leave any meals for them and went back after giving the gifts.

The year before last, He Mingliang fell seriously ill and had to recuperate at home for a long time. He quit his job as a private school teacher, stayed at home to recuperate, and helped with some less stressful chores at home.

"Big sister, big brother will be on vacation in a couple of days. My head of the family said we should buy some meat and take the children to visit our grandparents. You can also come over for a meal."

"Hey, you guys can just go and eat, why do you need us along? One day when you are free, you and Hiroko can bring the kids to my place and I will cook a meal for them."

Having said that, He Hui Niang knew that her eldest sister's family was not doing well either.
