"No, mother, this is the pocket money that Brother Zhao gave me. I still have quite a bit myself. Last time I sold the recipe for 100,000 taels. I'll give you 20,000 taels for your personal use or household expenses. I'll keep the rest and start some other business."

Seeing her mother so worried, Xiao Wan hurriedly explained that in fact, Duan Hongyi gave her 290,000 taels of silver notes as a bonus for the recipe.

But she was afraid that telling her mother would make her even more worried, so she only said 100,000 taels. She originally wanted to directly withdraw 20,000 taels of silver from the silver notes given by Zhao Mingyuan.

In the end, selfish motives were at work and she was reluctant to give up the banknotes Zhao Mingyuan had given her, so she entered the space and took out 20,000 taels of silver from her previous savings to give to Liu.

In fact, Liu was already very shocked when Xiao Wan said 100,000 taels. After all, her daughter's speed of making money was almost like starting from scratch and directly earning tens of thousands of taels.

In the past, even landlords would not dare to earn tens of thousands of taels a year. Isn't my daughter a treasure pot and a money tree?

Although their family had gained status, their daughter had become a county lady, and their husband was a village elder, generally no one dared to bully them.

But Mrs. Liu was a little worried, always afraid that her daughter was too outstanding and too capable, and would be coveted by people with bad intentions.

This Zhao Mingyuan should come back earlier and marry her daughter. At least he is a fourth-rank general and a person trusted by the emperor. He should be able to protect her daughter.

Liu was thinking back to her previous dream, thinking that the place was completely different from the one she was in, and it felt like it was richer than the world she was in.

Liu thought that her daughter's ability to make money must have come from that world. Also, many of her daughter's words and deeds, and the words and actions that she inadvertently revealed, were completely different from what she knew.

I can't protect such an outstanding girl like my daughter. I just hope that Zhao Mingyuan will win the battle soon and marry my daughter in a grand manner.

When you are born in the countryside, the thing you fear most is standing out from the crowd. Although your daughter has become a county lady, your family background is still shallow. But no matter what, you will always risk your life to protect your daughter.

Xiao Wan didn't care that Liu was thinking so far and deeply. She just saw her mother's face suddenly change. She didn't ask what happened, but continued to choose jewelry with Xiao Yuer.

Liu simply didn't think too much about it. After all, it was just a matter of fighting back. Xiao Wan saw her expression soften and smiled coaxingly at Liu, "Mom, you're dressed so beautifully today. You must be in a good mood. Do you want to play cards?"

Recently, Liu has become addicted to cards again. The first time she played was when the imperial concubine and the emperor came to her house.

Even though Liu had played cards with the imperial concubine a few times, the feeling was different. Her mind was always on the imperial concubine, so there was no fun in playing cards.

Now that the imperial concubine and the emperor were gone, she could have a good fight with the servants at home, and Liu became more and more skilled at it.

She wanted to ask Old Man Xiao to play with her, but Old Man Xiao was very busy taking people out to promote potato planting and had no time to play cards.

Only Mrs. Tian could play with her, and also when Xiao Zhen'er was not busy or Xiao Wan was free.

Liu beat him for a while, but when she realized that it might delay the work of her family, she just endured it and beat him less often.

Xiao Wan couldn't bear to see her mother lose her fun. Her mother didn't gamble anyway, she just played for fun.

So he would pick a slack season in the farm and hire an aunt or woman from the village to play with him. He would earn only twenty copper coins for half a day.

In fact, Xiao Wan didn't need the copper coins. After all, who wouldn't want to be closer to her family? She wanted to be close to the Xiao family.

Not to mention having the opportunity to work in the workshop, just chatting and spending time with Liu is also good.

After all, there is nothing to do in winter, so not only can we kill time, but the Xiao family also prepares tea and snacks, which are all delicious things that the villagers have never eaten before. If it is late at noon, we can stay here for a meal.

Don’t underestimate this lunch. The Xiao family’s lunch is equivalent to a big meal that villagers can only eat during festivals.

There were meat and vegetables, rice and steamed buns to fill you up. Everyone who came was so happy that they kept sighing that they were lucky. Moreover, the Xiao family sometimes made snacks and gave each person a portion to take home.

Which woman in the village wouldn't be envious of coming to the Xiao family to enjoy the good life with Liu? It's not just about playing cards and chatting.

No one doesn't envy Liu's experience in raising children. Look at how filial her daughter is. She is afraid that her mother cannot adapt to the rich life, so she even pays someone to accompany her to talk and play cards.

Wow, this is not work at all, this is not a place to enjoy yourself.

Besides, the room where the Xiao family played cards was very warm, not as cold as their home. They were reluctant to burn so much charcoal like the Xiao family.
