Sir Song, do you want to pledge yourself to me?

Ji Nuan and her sister-in-law drove a horse-drawn carriage into the village. By the time they got home, the news that the Ji family had bought a carriage had spread throughout the village.

Some villagers who love the hustle and bustle gathered at the gate of the Ji family.

"I saw Xiaoshan's wife going to the city to sell food this morning, and now she's coming back in a carriage. It looks like she made some money."

"A few days ago, I brought a few carts of medicinal herbs to his house. If they were made into finished medicine, I'm afraid he would make a lot of money again."

"Nuan girl has hired several people to help her. I heard that they earn 20 coins a day."

Just as everyone was discussing the matter, the families of my uncle and my third uncle also rushed over after hearing the news.

The usually taciturn uncle could not hide his excitement at this moment. He patted Ji's father's shoulder vigorously and was happy for his brother, "Yinzhu, you raised some good children!"

Uncle San also circled the carriage several times with envy on his face, and from time to time he exclaimed in admiration: "Second brother, this carriage is really magnificent! This is the first carriage in our Taohua Village!"

Ji's father stood between the three brothers, a beaming smile on his face. He had just heard that his daughter had bought a carriage, and he was a little skeptical. However, when he hurried home and saw the tall horse leisurely grazing in the yard, with the brand new carriage quietly parked nearby, his heart was instantly overwhelmed with joy beyond words.

I never thought that at his age, Ji Yinzhu could rely on his children to become the first in Taohua Village twice. Not only would he soon be able to live in a large blue brick and tile house, but he would also own a horse-drawn carriage. This was truly a dream he had never dared to imagine before.

Here, the eldest aunt held Ji's mother's hand and smiled warmly, "Xiaomei, we have been sisters-in-law for decades, and our relationship is no worse than that of real sisters. Now your family is rich, and you can even buy a carriage, but we are still worried about having enough food to eat. If your family has a way to make money, don't hide it from us!"

"What's there to hide? You've seen it all. It's just that Nuannuan is skilled in cooking, and the clinic asked her to help process the herbs." Ji's mother explained with a smile, "It's also that the child can't hold on to money. As soon as the clinic settled the money with her, she used it all to buy a carriage."

Aunt: "A carriage costs tens or even hundreds of taels of silver. How long has Ji Nuan been working here, and she's already making so much money? Let her take care of her cousin. If Xiao Feng can also make money, our family won't have to worry about having enough to eat."

The smile on Ji's mother's face froze slightly. She understood the implicit meaning of her aunt's words, but it was difficult for her to refuse directly, for fear of hurting the relationship between the sisters-in-law that had lasted for many years.

She gently patted the back of her aunt's hand and said earnestly, "Sister-in-law, what you said is true. We are all family, so how can we not help each other? But, Nuannuan's job is not something that just anyone can do. She won the favor of the clinic because of her skills. Xiaofeng... you know, he's not interested in studying medicine or collecting herbs. How can Nuannuan take care of him?"

When the aunt heard this, her face suddenly turned a little ugly, but for the sake of face, she still forced a smile: "Xiao Feng is still young and has not yet made up his mind. You can ask Ji Nuan to take care of him and arrange something for him to do."

Mother Ji was so pestered that she had no choice but to say, "How about this? Nuannuan has found some people to help grind the herbs. They pay 20 cents a day. Ask Xiaofeng if he's willing to come. If he agrees, I'll go to Nuannuan and talk to him on his behalf."

After hearing this, although the eldest aunt was still a little unwilling, she couldn't force anything and could only nod reluctantly, "Then I'll ask him when I get back."

Twenty cents a day, only six hundred cents a month.

Ji Nuan earned enough to buy a carriage in just a few days.

This is because she doesn't want her family to get rich too.

She didn't plan to tell Ji Feng when she got back that she felt it was embarrassing to work for her cousin for such a small salary.

Third Aunt listened to their conversation quietly and finally chose to continue working with Ji Wei.

Aunt San knew that she and her husband were not very capable and could not provide a better life for their children. Wei'er was very satisfied that she could now work with Ji Nuan to earn some money to support the family.

Besides, the second sister-in-law's family is not stingy. They caught fish yesterday and gave her two fish. Wei'er has always been close to Ji Nuan. Only when Ji Nuan is well can Wei'er be well.

When the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed, the Ji family's father and son finally had the opportunity to take a closer look at the newly bought horse.

Father Ji reached out and stroked the horse's silky fur, his eyes full of love and satisfaction, as if he were looking at his own child. He smiled and said, "Look at this horse, so sleek and smooth, it's really beautiful!"

Ji Shan also smiled and praised: "Look at these eyes, bright and sharp!"

Ji He carefully examined the horse's thigh muscles, finding them smooth and defined. He nodded with satisfaction and praised, "Those thigh muscles are tight, and they run with great energy!"

Mother Ji came out of the kitchen carrying some dishes and said to the father and son, "Okay, okay, stop looking at the horses and come into the house to eat."

The family sat happily around the dinner table. Father Ji said proudly while eating, "My daughter really makes me proud. Seeing their envious eyes, I feel so proud inside."

Ji's mother rolled her eyes in mock anger and said with a smile, "That's all you can do!"

Ji Nuan took over the conversation and excitedly shared today's achievements: "Dad, the cakes made by my sister-in-law were very popular today. They sold for over 1,300 coins!"

When Ji Shan heard this, he immediately smiled and praised, "Really? My wife is so capable!"

The eldest sister-in-law was a little embarrassed by the praise, and smiled: "My younger sister is really good at business. She just stands there and shouts a few times, and customers gather around and rush to buy."

Seeing this, the second sister-in-law also joked, "Little sister, your ability to make money is beyond our reach. In a few days, when my new clothes are ready, you have to help me sell them. Otherwise, I will pester you every day and never let you have a moment of leisure!"

Ji Nuan responded playfully, "Second sister-in-law, look at my heart. I'm so upright. After helping the eldest sister-in-law, I will naturally not forget the second sister-in-law. I promise to be impartial and treat everyone equally."

This sentence made my second sister-in-law giggle, and the whole dinner table was filled with warmth and joy.

Ji Shan naturally turned the topic to the finishing touches on the new house. He looked at Ji Nuan and asked, "The only thing left to do in the new house is the blue brick floor. Little sister, when you have time, go take a look. We need to discuss which areas should be reserved for planting flowers to make the yard look better."

Ji Nuan smiled and replied, "Brother, I plan to pave the entire front yard with blue bricks, which will make cleaning easier. As for the backyard, there's plenty of open space, so we can pave a path with blue bricks so it won't be slippery on rainy days. We can use the space near the walls on both sides to plant roses. When the roses bloom, the fragrance will be so beautiful. We can also plant a few fruit trees in the other areas so we can enjoy the flowers and pick the fruit, killing two birds with one stone."

At this point, Ji Nuan paused and added, "As for the saplings, I'll figure it out when the time comes. Once the ground is paved, I'll pick out some good ones and plant them."

"Okay, you drew the entire building blueprint, so your arrangement is practical."

Seeing that no one else had any objections, Ji Shan nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, little sister, you drew the entire blueprint for the house. You know the layout of the house best. Your arrangement will be both beautiful and practical."

Ji Nuan only provided a blueprint for the new house and then got busy with other matters. Ji's father and his team took on all the construction work. Unexpectedly, it would be completed so soon.

Ji Nuan turned to look at her mother. "Mom, the new house is almost finished. Next, we need to buy some household items. How about I go shopping with you in the city tomorrow?"

Mother Ji said with a smile on her face, "Okay. I was originally worried about when to go to the city to buy things. After all, there are so many things, and running back and forth is too troublesome. I didn't expect you to buy a carriage today. Look, it will be much more convenient for us to go to the city tomorrow."

When Father Ji heard about the carriage, he immediately brightened up. He patted his chest and said, "When I finish my work, I will make you a carriage frame with a carriage. Then, when you go out to buy things, you don't have to worry about the sun. Sitting in the carriage will be cool and comfortable."

Ji Nuan said, "Dad, you are so nice! I will bring you another jar of good wine tomorrow, please don't be reluctant to drink it." Ji's father had no other hobbies except drinking a few sips of wine. In the past, the family was not well-off and did not have the conditions to do so. Now that Ji Nuan has money in her hands, she still has to satisfy this hobby.

Father Ji listened to his daughter's words and smiled from ear to ear, his face full of pride and happiness: "My daughter really knows how to love me!"

At this time, Ji Nuan deliberately turned to Ji Shan and Ji He, and said in a somewhat teasing tone: "Big brother, second brother, did you hear that? Daddy thinks you don't love him enough!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Shan and Ji He smiled at each other and didn't mind Ji Nuan's joke.
