After dinner in the evening, an unexpected person showed up.

Sanniu: "Brother, the sister-in-law is here, please come out quickly."

After saying this, Sanniu ran away.

Daniu came out and looked at the lady with no embarrassment. They rarely met, but they knew that they were engaged now. You looked at me, I looked at you, and no one spoke first. Yun Tao couldn't stand it anymore and asked, "Lady, what's the matter with you this time?"

"Aunt, these are the things my mother asked me to bring. They are eggs laid by the hens at home, and wild vegetables picked from the fields. Mother said that although your family is doing better now and we know you don't need these things, these are still our thoughts. Mother asked me to bring them to you specially."

The lady seemed to be hesitant to speak, and she did not leave after delivering the things, but just stood there blankly at Yuntao's house. Looking at the well-built house at Yuntao's house, she did not look around.

Yuntao was very satisfied. This daughter-in-law was very much to her liking. She was not petty at all, nor was she pretentious.

The lady summoned up her courage and said, "Aunt, can we send someone to work in your workshop? You know our family is not well off right now. We are all women in town, and we can't do much work and earn much money. Do you think we can find a job in your workshop?"

Yun Tao looked at the lady and said, "Your family shouldn't be in such a difficult situation. You can spend all the gifts and betrothal gifts I gave you before. Your life should be better than other families."

"Aunt, mother said that the money cannot be touched. You have to be able to support yourself and live a good life. No matter how much money you have, if you don't have the ability, you will spend it sooner or later. Only when you have a stable income can you feel at ease."

"But now the work in the workshop is not suitable for you. The easy jobs are already taken by others. It's not easy to say it's easy, but it's not easy. After all, to be honest, the wages are not good."

Yuntao looked at the lady, and the lady looked at Yuntao. At this time, Daniu said, "Mom, the lady will be my wife sooner or later, why don't you let him make soap? This job has to be done by our family anyway. Now that you have taught the lady, when she gets married, you can let him take charge of this officially. Do you think it's okay, mom?"

Yun Tao looked at the lady and said, "Okay, lady, you can make soap from now on. It's easy and we make it at home. We don't use outsiders, and this is now the most profitable job in our family. Of course, it's also very important. You can't tell anyone if they ask, not even your family members."

"You haven't entered the house yet, so your wages are still 20 wen a day, but food and lodging are still not included. After all, you haven't entered the house yet, and if you stay with Daniu for too long, people might gossip about you."

The lady was very happy after hearing this. It meant that her aunt agreed to let her do the job, and her aunt was very optimistic about her, otherwise she would not have given her such an important job.

"Aunt, don't worry, I won't tell anyone, not even my mother."

The lady left happily.

"Daniu, are you so confident in letting the lady make soap? Don't forget, if I remember correctly, the lady's mother Kuju and Taohua's mother Zhaodi are from the same village, and it seems that they grew up in the same village. Now they are married to the same village. Although we don't have much friendship, we still have a better relationship than other families."

"Mom, I know it clearly, don't worry. At first, I asked the lady to make soap without fragrance. I won't let him touch the scented ones. I will also pay attention. If her character is up to standard, then this daughter-in-law will not be married in vain. If not, we can just cancel the engagement."

"It's also mother's fault. I didn't think of this when we got engaged. Their mothers are more or less related. But it's not a very close relationship. You just need to give more instructions to the lady in the future. This child is an honest child, very down-to-earth, and much less cunning than Peach Blossom."

"Mom, don't worry."

Lady returned home happily, and just in time she saw Taohua's mother Zhaodi walking out of her door. "Isn't this Lady? Oh, what are you so happy about? Lady, you are so lucky. With your current conditions, you can even marry into the Yuntao family. I didn't realize that our Lady is also so lucky."

"The Yuntao family is now considered a wealthy family in the village. Look at their big brick and tile house. Many girls are willing to marry into their family just for this house. Not to mention that they still have many businesses to do, such as preserved eggs, potato chips, soap and other things. It's better than those of us who make a living from the land. Lady, you will be the eldest lady in the future, but don't forget our family."

"Aunt Taohua, look at what you said. Didn't Sister Taohua marry Mr. Wang in town? Every time she came back, she brought back a lot of things. This shows how much the Wang family values her, and it is also clear that her status in the Wang family must be quite high. And judging from the silk and satin Sister Taohua is wearing, it is obvious that Sister Taohua is living a very comfortable life. Aunt Taohua, why do you envy me? My mother is still working in the fields. Even if I marry into that family in the future, I will never be as generous as Sister Taohua in bringing back things."

After hearing these words, Zhaodi was very proud. No girl in the village was as lucky as ours. Not only were we dressed in silk and satin, but every time we went back to our parents' home, the things we brought back always made the villagers jealous. When people came to our house, they said that we were lucky and would give birth to a good daughter.

After hearing what the lady said, Zhaodi left with satisfaction.

"Mom, I told you to have less contact with Taohua Niang in the future. Although you are from the same village and grew up together, she is too cunning. And I don't like her family from the bottom of my heart, so it's better for you to have less contact with her in the future. She didn't have much contact with our family before, but after I got engaged to Daniu, she has been in frequent contact with us. I'm afraid she has some ideas about our family, so you should ignore her."

Ku Ju looked at her eldest daughter, "Don't worry, I know everything. She came to ask me why I went to Daniu's house. She also asked about Daniu's business. I said I didn't know. How could I know these things since we haven't married yet. She found out that she couldn't get any information out of me, so she left. Besides, I really didn't know these things, and Daniu's mother wouldn't tell me these things."

Lady: "I said she had bad intentions. She asked these questions instead of asking anything else. Maybe she has some bad intentions in mind."

"Daniu's mother agreed to it. I have not yet received the marriage fee, 20 cents a day. Daniu asked me to help make soap, and her mother agreed."

"Then you should do your job well. Soap seems to be the most profitable business of the Daniu family. I heard that a bar of soap starts at one or two silver coins. Don't mess it up, and don't tell anyone about it."

"Don't worry, mother. I'm not that stupid. With my family's conditions, I can marry into the Daniu family. It's considered marrying up. There is no shortage of outstanding girls in their house. I'll behave well and seize this opportunity. As long as I live well, mother, you won't suffer in the future. I took a close look at Daniu's mother today. She is a good aunt. She will definitely not be a wicked mother-in-law in the future. She is not the kind who will take advantage of me. And we are so close. If you and your sister have any problems in the future, our family can take care of each other."
