The widow becomes a fairy, and the time-traveling girl counterattacks and becomes the queen

The two workshops started working today. Although Wang Xinyao practiced all night, she did not feel tired at all. After getting up early, washing up, having a simple breakfast, she went to Xie Pozi's house.

At this time, Mrs. Xie and her family were busy moving their luggage. Mrs. Xie cursed and swore. After all, she had lived here for most of her life and was already accustomed to it. Moreover, the new place she had found was small and didn't even have a yard.

She had initially tried to act rude and refuse to move, but Xie Baihong seemed to have been bewitched by Wang Xinyao and no longer obeyed her. Even his usual insistence on "not letting his son wear mourning for him after his death" had lost its power. He threatened to divorce her at the slightest sign of trouble, and this alone was enough to keep her in his grasp.

Seeing Wang Xinyao coming, Xie Shiya hurried forward and saluted, saying, "Hello, sister-in-law!"

Xie Erzhu's wife, Li Cuihua, with their two children, also cast a friendly glance at her, but she did not dare to approach and talk to her because Xie Erzhu's face was gloomy at the moment, and Xie Pozi's eyes were even more furious.

Wang Xinyao walked towards Xie Baihong, pulled him aside, and asked again, "Dad, are you willing to stay?"

Xie Bohong thought about it and said helplessly, "Xinyao, I appreciate your kindness, but I still plan to leave with them. Even if she is a bad person, she gave birth to two children for me after all, and we have been together for most of our lives. Let's just make do with it."

"Well, I'll let Dad decide on this matter. If you ever want to come back, I'll always have a room ready for you." Wang Xinyao pulled out another fifty taels of silver from her pocket and handed it to Xie Baihong. "Dad, take this. If you don't have money, you won't have a place in this family. Don't treat yourself badly in the future. If you don't have enough money, come and tell me anytime."

"No, no, I didn't give her the wages I received from working for you some time ago, which was a few taels of silver." Xie Baihong declined. "You are running two workshops now, and you need money everywhere. You don't have to give it to me."

"Dad, take it. This is my gift to you as a filial piety! Besides, I don't lack this little money. What makes me most happy is that you live a good life." Wang Xinyao said sincerely.

"Thank you, Xinyao, you are such a kind and capable child!" Xie Baihong had no choice but to take the silver, his eyes slightly red.

After Mrs. Xie and her family moved out, all the workers arrived. Xie Zhengyi methodically assigned some villagers to dismantle the partition wall, while directing others to go up the mountain and cut down trees. Then, he prepared pen and paper, ready to tally the timber and bamboo delivered by each household. His orderly demeanor truly befitted the position of village chief.

At this time, Xie Dagang brought the product developed yesterday afternoon to Wang Xinyao. Wang Xinyao took a look at it and found that the paper was yellowish and not tough enough, but it was really good to be able to achieve this on the first day.

She nodded and smiled, saying, "Brother Dagang is a truly excellent craftsman. He's already mastered all the techniques. We just need to find a way to improve the toughness of the paper. Once the toughness is improved, the thickness of the paper can be reduced. In addition, the waste paper pulp can be fully utilized. We can use it to make some packaging materials like toilet paper or cardboard."

Xie Dagang was stunned when he heard this, but he understood the compliment. He scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "Thank you, Sister Xinyao. I will definitely work harder to do well."

Next, Wang Xinyao personally instructed him on some specific operating methods, and told him that all the process flows cannot be done by one person. Not only is the efficiency too slow, but not everyone can be as smart as Xie Dagang. Fixed workers should be arranged to do the same thing every day. In this way, production efficiency can be improved and it can prevent others from imitating easily.

Thinking that she had given enough instructions, Wang Xinyao took out several aqueous solutions from her backpack. These were the ones she had developed in the ring space over the past few days. They contained caustic soda, sulfuric acid and other chemicals, which were the key to papermaking.

Wang Xinyao took out the rough paper that Xie Dagang had prepared earlier and instructed Xie Dagang step by step on how to use it. As Xie Dagang watched, a magical scene appeared: the originally yellowed and rough paper gradually became white and smooth.

Xie Dagang couldn't help but sigh, "Sister Xinyao, this paper is much better than the one the county government sent to my father."

Then, Xie Dagang kept trying according to the method taught by Wang Xinyao. After some effort, he finally produced some fairly qualified paper.

At this time, a satisfied smile finally appeared on Wang Xinyao's face, and the papermaking workshop could finally be officially put into production.

After leaving the paper mill, Wang Xinyao arrived at the mushroom base in the barren mountains. All the workers at the mushroom base were busy.

The work here is much simpler. After all, all the mushrooms are cultivated by themselves, and the workers only need to dig the soil, plant, keep warm and maintain them. Moreover, Wang Xinyao added some spiritual spring water to the mushrooms. She is absolutely sure that the mushrooms cultivated in this way will grow very well.

When Wang Xinyao arrived at the mushroom base, Xie Daxiong and Xie Erxiong were instructing the workers on how to operate. Xie Mazi was the most active among them. "Daxiong, Daxiong, look, did I do everything right?"

"Yes, good job, brother Mazi, you can learn it right away!" After saying that, Xie Daxiong and the others turned their heads and saw Wang Xinyao coming. The two brothers immediately came forward to greet her: "Sister Xinyao, you're here!"

"Brother Daxiong and Brother Erxiong, you did a great job. You were able to complete the task in just one day. You are really excellent!" Wang Xinyao never hesitates to praise others.

With just one sentence, Xie Daxiong and Xie Erxiong were overjoyed and full of energy: "It's all thanks to Sister Xinyao's good teaching!"

"It's okay, you all go and do your work first, I'll take a look around!" After saying that, Wang Xinyao walked around the mushroom base and was very pleased to see that the workers were working hard.

So, she came to the rapeseed field near the mushroom base. Maybe it was because the rapeseed seeds came from the ring space, so they grew particularly well. There was not a single weed in the rapeseed, and the roots were clearly visible. It was estimated that they were transplanted after planting. It seemed that this was the result of the careful care of Xie Daxiong and several other villagers.

After a stroll through the rapeseed fields, Wang Xinyao returned to the mushroom base. She saw Xie Mazi instructing other villagers, so she walked over to him and said with a smile, "Brother Mazi, you're working really well!"

Xie Mazi chuckled and said, "Thank you, Sister Xinyao, for giving me the opportunity to work!" He has always been grateful to Wang Xinyao, who is his benefactor.

Wang Xinyao considered rapeseed to be a top priority, so he called Xie Daxiong and Xie Erxiong together and said, "Brother Daxiong, Brother Erxiong, the rapeseed is growing very well. Thank you for your hard work!"

"It's not hard for us. Thank you Sister Xinyao for giving us the opportunity!" The two brothers said in unison. With their family's previous conditions, there were no matchmakers coming to their door. Now there are often matchmakers coming to propose marriage. This is all thanks to Sister Xinyao. In their minds, Sister Xinyao is like their reborn parents.

"You're welcome. We're family!" Wang Xinyao said with a smile, "Brother Big Bear, the rapeseed fields need time to be taken care of. If you try to take care of both, I'm afraid you'll be too busy! Now that Brother Mazi has learned how to grow mushrooms, I think I'll hand over the mushroom base to Brother Erxiong. I'll let Brother Mazi be Brother Erxiong's assistant, and his salary will increase to 180 wen a day. And you will take full responsibility for helping me take care of the rapeseed base. If we're short on manpower, we'll hire more."

"Okay!" Xie Daxiong nodded in agreement.

"Sister Xinyao, is this true? You really want me to be the manager?" Xie Mazi was a little surprised, but more ecstatic.

"Yes, Brother Mazi will take care of me in the future!" Wang Xinyao said with a smile.

"Thank you, sister Xinyao, thank you..." At this time, Xie Mazi was almost kowtowed!

After Wang Xinyao arranged her work, she met Liu Pozi from the village on her way home.

"Xinyao, you've been busy for most of the day." Mrs. Liu greeted with a smile.

"Yes, auntie." Wang Xinyao also responded with a smile.

Granny Liu approached Wang Xinyao and asked in a low voice, "Xinyao, tell me the truth, are you attracted to Daxiong?"

Wang Xinyao was stunned for a moment, then blushed. "Don't talk nonsense, mother-in-law. I only asked Brother Daxiong to help manage the rapeseed field because he's hardworking and down-to-earth."

Mrs. Liu laughed. "Oh, you're still shy, girl. I've been through this before, and I can see you have a special relationship with Xie Daxiong. Do you want me to talk to your second aunt for you?"

Wang Xinyao was a little helpless. "Auntie, I really don't have such intentions. Please stop talking nonsense, otherwise it will affect Brother Daxiong's future marriage! Brother Daxiong is my brother Aniu's brother and the uncle of my daughters. It would be even worse if this got out. As for me, I really just want to farm well and make life a little better for everyone in the village."

"You really don't have that idea?" Mrs. Liu was still a little skeptical.

"Really not!" Wang Xinyao said affirmatively.

Granny Liu smiled and said, "Xinyao, you're a good girl. If you really meet the right person, you must seize the opportunity. If you're too embarrassed to speak up, I'll help you talk!"

Wang Xinyao's heart trembled after hearing Granny Liu's words. She recalled every moment she had spent with Zhao Haoxuan, and a warm feeling welled up inside. Besides, a widow's door is always full of gossip. Perhaps Granny Liu's words were a reminder to her that even if she and Zhao Haoxuan weren't really married, she should still let him show his face in the village to hide his identity. Furthermore, Zhao Haoxuan had already disguised himself as a sturdy man, so perhaps being out in the open would be safer than hiding it!
