I have been farming since I crossed over.

At this moment, the eldest uncle stood up and said, "We are not participating in this business either. Dad and Mom will live with us from now on, and we will always be in the village, so our plan is that I will farm, your aunt will make tofu, and we will raise some chickens and ducks. We will consider other things when the time comes. In short, our family must protect the roots of the Yang family and take good care of Dad and Mom. Don't worry about the consequences, just develop well!"

Old Man Yang glanced at Boss Yang, nodded, and said nothing.

Yang Mingxi said, "I'm sorry, uncle, but don't be discouraged. Don't worry, even if you only farm and make tofu, your family will not be bad off."

Aunt Li quickly pulled her four sons to their feet and said, "I knew it, I knew it. Did you hear me? As long as you have the ability, you won't have a bad life. What's more, you have Xier to help you. If you still can't make a living, I will be the first one to not let you go."

Yang Mingjiang took the lead and said, "Yes, yes, yes, we will definitely make it through. Grandma and grandpa can rest assured, and Xier can rest assured too."

Yang Mingjiang's wife, Lei, tried to pull Yang Mingjiang, but was pushed away by Yang Mingjiang, so she didn't dare to say anything.

After a moment of silence, just as Old Man Yang was about to speak, Second Yang stood up and said, "Dad and Mom, we won't participate in this business either. I've made up our minds. Liu knows how to raise ducks, so let's stick with our old idea of raising ducks."

Before anyone else could say anything, Yang Minghe's wife, Tang, said, "Mom and Dad, you can raise ducks, but I don't know how. I want to do business."

"You can do business if you want, but you have to find a way to do it yourself. If you want to do the business that Xier is doing today, then go back to your parents' home. My Yang family can't afford you." Yang Minghe said gritting his teeth.

Tang said unyieldingly, "Who am I doing business for? It's for you and your whole family. Xi'er has so many ideas, so why not give us one or two? We're all family after all."

Yang Minghe stood up, grabbed Tang, and dragged her out the door. Crying and cursing could be heard from far away.

Yang Mingzhou stood up and said, "Grandpa, Grandma, Sister Xi, what my father said is what we should say. Don't worry about the others. My eldest brother can handle it."

Yang Mingxi smiled awkwardly and said, "It's okay. If Sister He wants to do any business, just take it. Don't make the family unhappy."

Mrs. Liu stood up and said, "Xi'er, don't worry. Ah He's wife deserves to be punished. I've already told her that. If she can't figure it out, our Yang family can't afford her."

"That's right." Old Man Yang added.

"Okay, just discuss it with you guys. But it doesn't matter. No matter what we do, our Yang family can do it." Yang Mingxi said.

After Yang Mingxi finished speaking, Old Man Yang followed up with, "Fourth Brother, what do your family say? A girl who is getting married should stay out of her parents' affairs."

Yang Mingmei and Yang Mingqi's faces suddenly turned red with fright. They quickly lowered their heads and stepped back.

Yang Minghai and Yang Mingtao glanced at each other, then at Yang Laosi and said, "Grandpa and Grandma, I'm the boss of our family and we won't be participating in Xier's business this time. We'll still be raising chickens as we said before. But if Xier needs our help, we'll support her without hesitation. My parents are soft-hearted, so I'll be the boss of our family from now on."

Old Man Yang looked at Yang Minghai, nodded and said nothing.

Yang Mingxi smiled and stood up and said, "Okay, since every family has a good business, let's get started! Those who need to build houses should build houses, and those who need to do things should do things."

Lu Jintang also said, "Although the business is a partnership between Miss Xi and me, I won't get too involved, so I'll still rely on you brothers to help her. But the most important thing is to train your bodies, so starting tomorrow, gather at the thatched cottage at the beginning of the morning hour to train with Master Lu."

Yang Mingxi looked at Lu Jintang and felt that she owed him more and more.

Lu Jintang looked at Yang Mingxi who was looking at him with starry eyes, and his heart softened. His whole face smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum.

Yang Mingxi calmed herself down and said, "Next, we'll pay the wages for the past few days. Lu Jintang will cover all the costs, and we'll split the profits 50-50. I'm responsible for the wages, so I'll pay out half of my share, and we'll divide it evenly."

Lu Jintang pulled Yang Mingxi and whispered, "I'll only give you the cold dishes. The rest are all yours. How you want to divide it is up to you."

Yang Mingxi smiled knowingly and said, "Okay, I'll accept your favor."

Yang Xi said, "I'll count the money later and distribute it to everyone during dinner. We're having hot pot tonight!"

After that, everyone dispersed. Yang Mingxi told Yang Mingyu to go to the thatched hut to call the Wu family, and she went into the kitchen and prepared a big pot of spicy soup base.

The aunts were assigned to cut meat and prepare vegetarian dishes, and the Yang family's yard suddenly became lively.

Yang Mingxi arranged for people to set up several stoves using large clay pots so that they could cook food later.

When the Wu family arrived, seven or eight tables had already been set up in the yard, with two earthenware pots on each table, one for the stove and the other for cooking.

Everyone quickly sat down. After Yang Mingxi demonstrated it to them, they all started to eat hot pot. The only sound in the whole yard was the sound of eating.

After dinner, everyone sat at the table and talked, saying, "Delicious, this is so delicious."

Yang Mingxi and Lu Jintang did the math. Yang Mingxi got +++= Wen, which was half of the total number of participants. There were two old men from Yang, seven brothers of Yang Lao's eldest family and their wives, minus Yang Lao San's family, which made 2 people. Of Yang Mingxi's generation, there were 12 people from the first house, 5 from the second house, 5 from the fourth house, 5 from the fifth house, 8 from Yang Mingmo's family, 2 from the elders of the Wu family, 6 from the younger generations, and 32 from Lu Jintang, a total of 6 people, with an average share of 84 yuan per person.

After settling the bills, Yang Mingxi and Lu Jintang went from table to table to distribute the money. Yang Mingxi distributed the money while Lu Jintang carried it in a bamboo sieve and followed behind Yang Mingxi.

Yang Mingxi handed everyone the money and said with a smile, "2150 coins per person. Everyone, count them and make sure you don't make any mistakes. If you have no problems, go and rest! You've worked hard these past few days!"

Afterwards, everyone dispersed on their own. Yang Mingxi returned to the fifth room and called Uncle Wu. She solemnly paid back the money she owed Uncle Wu and also wanted to pay back Lu Jintang. At this time, Lu Jintang's face darkened.

Yang Mingxi thought for a moment and said, "Master Lu, consider this as food allowance! My family will cook for the six of you for a year."

Lu Jintang nodded in agreement. Yang Mingxi gathered the family's money, keeping a small change for each person, and said with a smile, "We have exactly 100 taels left this time, which we'll use to build a house. From now on, you don't have to collect all your earnings. Let's follow the old Yang family rules and turn half over to the public treasury, and the rest will be considered your personal belongings."

After figuring out everything, Yang Mingxi returned to the thatched cottage with her two brothers, her uncles who stayed behind, and Lu Jintang.
