After crossing, I was forced to hold on to my thighs and build a kingdom

After lunch, Wang Weiyuan went straight back to the academy, while Jinchu and Huizhen went to buy another thirty taels of silver worth of cosmetics.

After the two of them put their things back home, Jinchu sent Huizhen home.

After Yangyanfang sells this batch of powder and soap, it will receive feedback in about a week at the fastest, and it will take more than half a month for repeat customers at the slowest.

Therefore, Jinchu and Huizhen have to prepare the second batch of balsam within half a month, and the quantity of this second batch will be more than the first batch.

Jinchu and Huizhen discussed that Huizhen should go back and explain the matter to her parents, and then come back tomorrow, and live in the provincial capital for a long time in the future.

That day, Huizhen returned to Qingxi Village excitedly with five taels of silver as capital and seven taels of silver as profit.

The next day, just after Jinchu sent Zhaoer to school, Huizhen came, followed by Huizhen's mother, Aunt Zhao.

Huizhen's parents originally thought that the two girls would just tinker with some small things when they were free, and it would be great if they could make some money from them.

Anyway, there is only one girl in the family, and Jin Yatou is not an outrageous person. It would be best if this business can make some money. Even if it doesn't make any money, the worst that can happen is that all the capital will be lost. Although the family is not rich, a few taels of silver can afford to teach the child a lesson.

Who would have thought that these two girls would do something so big if they didn't do it? When Huizhen took out the seven taels of silver yesterday, the whole family was stunned.

You have to know that these seven taels of silver would take two men in the family two or three months to earn. As a result, Jin Yatou and Hui Zhen only worked for seven days and earned so much.

Upon further inquiry, they found out that Jinchu had given 30% of the profit to Huizhen. Huizhen's parents immediately frowned and scolded Huizhen severely, insisting that Huizhen return five taels of silver to Jinchu.

Huizhen repeatedly explained that it was Jin'er who gave it to her sincerely and she did not ask for it shamelessly, but Huizhen's parents still disagreed.

Early this morning, he asked Huizhen's mother to follow Huizhen to Jinchu's house, and he wanted to return the five taels of silver in person.

"Mom, we are at Jin'er's house now. If you don't believe it, just ask her in person!" Huizhen looked at her mother with a look of grievance and complained.

After learning the whole story, Jinchu smiled and led Huizhen's mother to the main hall to sit down. He poured tea first and then began to explain: "Aunt, you are not a stranger, and Jin'er will not be polite with you. My sister and I have indeed received a lot of sincerity from your family recently. We are very grateful and have always wanted to repay you. This time, Huizhen and I made money from the balsam, and naturally she also got a share. Huizhen and I discussed it before giving it to her. Aunt, please don't blame Huizhen for this matter anymore!"

"Jin girl, although you're not from Qingxi Village, you've lived here for two or three years. Huizhen and you two get along really well, like real sisters. And you've already helped Huizhen so much, your aunt and your uncle remember it all! As the saying goes, 'Two good things go together, one good thing'. It's only natural for us to help each other when we're in the same village. You can't give us so much money just for such a small favor."

Huizhen's mother took out five taels of silver and placed them on the table. "One must know oneself clearly. Take this balsam business for example. The recipe is yours, and the product was made by you and Huizhen. It's a kindness of yours that she can work with you and earn some wages. How can she take 30% of your profits for free? Your uncle Wang and I may not be rich, but we can't touch this money that is so shameful!"

At this point, Huizhen's mother stood up, grabbed Huizhen's arm, and said to Jinchu with a serious face, "You must accept this five taels of silver today, otherwise I will take Huizhen home and never let this girl come to your place again!"

"Ouch, Mom, Mom, please let me go!" Huizhen screamed and pushed her mother's hand.

When Jin Chu saw Hui Zhenniang's face flushed with anxiety, he couldn't help but admire the Wang couple even more.

It seems that the silver must be recovered today!

Thinking of this, Jinchu stepped forward and pulled away Huizhenniang's hand that was holding her daughter, and smiled to comfort her: "Don't worry, auntie, Jin'er listens to you. I will take back the five taels of silver right now. Please sit down first!"

As she spoke, she reached out and picked up the five taels of silver on the table.

When Huizhen's mother saw that Jinchu really accepted the silver, she let Huizhen go and sat down again. She picked up the tea in front of her, took a sip, and her tense expression gradually relaxed a lot.

Jinchu motioned Huizhen to sit down as well. Huizhen quickly left her mother's side and sat down next to Jinchu opposite her mother.

Seeing that the mother and daughter had calmed down, Jinchu jokingly spoke to Huizhen's mother again: "Aunt, I listened to you today and accepted the five taels of silver. But you can't take Huizhen away from me again!"

Huizhen's mother was relieved of her burden and smiled. She pointed at Huizhen and said, "You wild girl, you are so lucky to have such a good sister who treats you sincerely. Since Jin girl is speaking so much for you, you should follow behind Jin girl and help her. But don't ever touch the money that you shouldn't take!"

Jinchu thought for a moment and said, "Aunt, I'll accept the five taels this time, but Jin'er also wants to talk to you about the future."

"Jin girl, go ahead and tell me, Auntie is listening!"

Jin Chu put away his smile and slowly said, "I believe you are aware that my balm has already signed a written contract with Yangyanfang."

Huizhenniang nodded.

"You've used our balm before. I wouldn't say the effect is immediate, but it's real."

"Yes, I don't know about other things, but I, your aunt, have lived for thirty or forty years, and I have never come across a rouge or powder that is better than your balm!"

Thinking of her husband's words praising her youth, Huizhenniang couldn't help but smile again.

Jinchu took over and continued, "Thanks to Auntie's positive feedback, Huizhen and I are very confident that this batch of balm and soap will only sell better in the future."

Huizhenniang nodded in agreement.

"But this is handmade after all. Huizhen and I can take care of it for a short time, but if the balsam business is booming in the future, I'm afraid we won't be able to do it alone!"

Jin Chu glanced at Hui Zhen's thoughtful expression and continued, "As the saying goes, 'One hero needs three helpers.' Hui Zhen and I are like sisters. No matter how capable I am, I can't sustain this balm business without help. Especially in the early stages, when I'm uncertain about sales, I naturally dare not expand blindly. Therefore, this balm depends on Hui Zhen and me to complete. Hui Zhen also invested half of the raw material cost last time, so I will give her 30% of the profit."

"That's because you took care of Huizhen and deliberately gave in to her. She shouldn't have taken so much money from you. Besides, Jin'er, you've already returned Huizhen's five taels of silver to us!"
