Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

Xiao Wan smiled and said to her family, "Mom, I bought some new cloth and cotton. How about asking Aunt Wang to come over and help make sheets, quilt covers, and clothes for my sister? I'll go to the workshop first. We'll make a big meal later and invite Uncle Zhao and his family to come and eat with us. My sister's affairs went so smoothly this time, all thanks to Uncle Zhao's family."

"I was saying that the county magistrate has been very kind to us this time. It seems that it was all thanks to the help of Yuan'er's family. Your father will go and call your uncle and aunt to come for dinner later. And that Master Fu, he saved you last time too, and we haven't expressed our gratitude yet."

Old Man Xiao nodded at the side, and Mrs. Liu was also very grateful. She must show her skills and treat the Zhao family well.

It seems that although the Zhao family was demoted, they can still talk to the county magistrate, which shows that they still have some background.

Zhao Mingyuan went home after helping to move things.

Liu watched Xiao Wan seeing Zhao Mingyuan off. They were a perfect match, and she was extremely happy.

Where can you find such a son-in-law? He cares for his daughter and also cares about his own family. I don’t know what Mrs. Zhao thinks, but Mrs. Liu and Old Man Xiao are very satisfied.

She had to find time to test Fu's attitude, so Liu went next door to call Aunt Wang for help.

When Aunt Wang heard this, she hurried over. She was already good friends with Liu, and now Xiao Wan had found a way for Yunke Lai to deliver tofu, so her husband didn't have to go out in the wind and sun, nor did he have to do odd jobs to supplement the family.

His daughter, Danier, also worked in the workshop, earning thirty cents a day, eating well, and receiving bonuses. She also became outgoing and cheerful.

When Aunt Xiao San is not busy, she teaches the female workers to recognize a few words. Aunt Wang is so happy that she can't stop smiling every day. In her opinion, Ni'er can save up a complete dowry for herself.

With two stable incomes, the family's financial situation has improved dramatically, and we can have meat on the dinner table every now and then.

Wang was jealous of Ping'er, who had become a different person after going to school and became polite and well-mannered. She thought of saving some money and sending her own son to school to learn a few words.

Not to mention taking the imperial examinations, just being able to read and write will allow you to be valued by your employer when you go out to work in the future.

Ni'er is filial and supports her younger brother in going to school. She also said that she would use her salary to support her younger brother first.

Aunt Wang was no longer dissatisfied. She thought everything was thanks to the Xiao family, so when Liu called her, she hurried over.

She also felt very sympathetic towards Xiao Zhen'er's situation. She held Xiao Zhen'er's hand affectionately and even said, "Good child, it's all over."

Xiao Zhen'er breathed a sigh of relief. She was still a little nervous, but looking at Aunt Wang's loving eyes, she couldn't help but smile and started making bed sheets and clothes.

While Liu and the others were making clothes, Xiao Wan talked to Old Man Xiao about the workshop. From now on, Old Man Xiao would be in charge of the workshop, so Xiao Wan gave the copied orders and deposits to Old Man Xiao.

Ask Old Man Xiao and Aunt Xiao to check it out. Now Aunt Xiao is equivalent to the manager and accountant of the workshop. Aunt Xiao is very capable and responsible, and Xiao Wan has always liked her.

After they finished talking, they went to the workshop and had to urge people to make the products required by the order first.

Xiao Wan went to the workshop and together with Old Man Xiao informed Aunt Xiao San of the order for verification. She then took the chicken and meat she brought to the kitchen and asked Mrs. Zhao to prepare a good meal for noon tomorrow and not to keep any so that everyone could have a good meal.

Mrs. Zhao felt grateful that the Xiao family was such a rare host, and happily accepted it and agreed.

Aunt Xiao asked the female workers to speed up the production, and at the same time told Uncle Xiao to buy more potatoes. The couple worked diligently, and Xiao Wan was very moved. The ancients were honest.

Xiao Wan then discussed with Aunt Xiao San whether to hire more female workers. Under the current circumstances, the orders will only increase, and another part of the workshop must be vacated to be used as a processing room.

Next, Xiao Wan is going to open a food shop, which requires a lot of potato flour. Xiao Wan is still very confident about this.

Aunt Xiao also felt that she needed to hire some people. The order volume was quite large, and if the goods were distributed farther away, these ten female workers would never be able to finish the work even if they died of exhaustion.

Moreover, when recruiting more people, priority will definitely be given to people from the village, which will help the villagers. Aunt Xiao San wants to ask her sister to come as well.

I didn’t feel comfortable telling Xiao Wan about the last time I was recruiting people because I was worried that others would think I was misusing public resources for personal gain.

But she knew her younger sister well. She was hardworking and clever, so Aunt Xiao wanted to fight for her younger sister. Her family was large, and her younger sister wouldn't have much of a dowry when she got married.

When my younger sister starts working and earns money, she can help to supplement our income.

Xiao Wan asked Third Aunt Xiao to recruit someone. Third Aunt Xiao mentioned it embarrassedly. Xiao Wan smiled and said, "Third Aunt, you are being distant with me. Our family must take care of our own family first. I remember that she is one year younger than me. Let my sister come, just don't be afraid of being tired."

"No, Wan'er, my sister can endure hardships. Thank you, Wan'er." Aunt Xiao said to Xiao Wan gratefully.

Xiao Wan smiled and waved her hand, entrusting the recruitment matter to Aunt Xiao San.

At the same time, relying solely on potato planting in the village could no longer meet the demand for orders. Xiao Wan decided to buy some land and hire people to plant potatoes separately while these orders were being processed.
