Aunt Cui Lian was also impatient, so she got off the kang and put on her shoes.

"Why are you waiting until tomorrow? It's only noon now, I think everyone is home. I'll go ask now."

As they were talking, they ran out of the house, but they didn't take the silver ingot on the kang. Qu Jingyao shook her head helplessly and gestured to Baiguo to put the silver, snacks and preserved fruits into a small basket and let her aunt take it back later.

"Lingling, the basket contains snacks and preserved fruits I bought for you. Take them with you when you go back later."

After hearing this, Lingling put down the work in her hands, her eyes lit up, and she immediately hugged Qu Jingyao's neck and kissed her on the face.

"Yaoyao is still good to me."

Liu looked at the two people being so affectionate and smiled helplessly, but she didn't put down the work in her hands. She thought that since all the items sent today had been sold, they would have to work harder to make more, as there would be a temple fair tomorrow.

After a while of playing around, Lingling started to work quickly. Tomorrow is the temple fair, so she must make more today.

Qu Jingyao then took out a pen and paper and began to write and draw. Baiguo stood by and watched the patterns his master drew, his eyes stunned.

"Master's painting is so beautiful, this is..."

Baiguo couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the beauty in the picture, which was painted very vividly and beautifully by the master.

"This is a painting of Chang'e flying to the moon."

After Qu Jingyao finished speaking, Bai Guo kept repeating, "Chang'e flies to the moon." She didn't know who Chang'e was, but this Chang'e was very beautiful.

Qu Jingyao curled the corners of her lips, blew the ink on the painting, and then slowly began to tell the story of Chang'e.

Liu and Lingling in the room were also attracted by her story.

"Where did you hear all this, little girl?" Liu laughed in anger.

After hearing this, Lingling showed a trace of regret on her face. Although this story left her with a feeling of wanting more, it made her feel sorry for Chang'e and Houyi.

"If Yaoyao's storybook were a Ctrip storybook, it would probably attract a lot of people and would definitely sell well."

Hearing Lingling's words, Qu Jingyao stood up suddenly and hugged her: "Oh! Lingling, you are really my little lucky star, why didn't I think of it."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qu Jingyao clapped her hands excitedly and asked Baiguo to grind ink. She wanted to write down the story, and it would look better when combined with the embroidery.

She immediately bent over the table and began to write furiously.

At this time, Aunt Cui Lian led three people in from outside.

"Yao girl, your aunt has found someone for you."

As they were talking, they had already walked into the house. Liu smiled slightly and asked them to sit down and chat.

Qu Jingyao also put down the pen in her hand and greeted them with a smile.

"Aunt Fu, Aunt Yu, you're here. Who is this?"

She looked at the girl hiding behind Aunt Yu and asked.

Yu clenched her hands in embarrassment, her face flushed. Aunt Cui Lian then explained that this was the youngest daughter of Fifth Grandma's younger brother.

Guan Yu is called cousin-in-law.

"My name is Miao Tian. I happened to be staying at my aunt's house today. My sister-in-law told me there was work to do there that could earn me some money, so I... I followed her."

Yu frowned and opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything to defend herself and let out a sigh of helplessness.

Aunt Cui Lian leaned close to Qu Jingyao's ear and whispered a few words. She smiled and nodded without saying anything else.

"Aunts, you've all heard from Aunt Cui Lian that I do some handicrafts here, but for confidentiality, I have to sign a contract. This means that if you want to work here, you have to abide by confidentiality. I have to rely on this to support my family, and I believe you can understand."

When several people heard Qu Jingyao's words, they asked in confusion, what is this confidentiality agreement?

"The confidentiality agreement states that if you leak anything during your employment, you'll have to pay me two hundred taels of silver. I swear to take this agreement to the government office and get away with it. Of course, as long as you have no ulterior motives, there's no need to worry about this agreement. It's just a guarantee between us."

After hearing Qu Jingyao's explanation, everyone understood, but Miao Tian looked a little unhappy. It was so troublesome to do this job. Wasn't this going to cost them money?

Then she told everyone in the room that she needed to think about this and went back.

As she spoke, she walked out of the house, and Baiguo followed her and sent her to the gate of the yard.

Only after seeing her leave did Yu heave a sigh of relief and explain to the people in the room that it was her mother-in-law who insisted on letting her take the seedling field because she heard that she could make money.

Looking at Yu's expression, it was clear that Miao Tian was not someone easy to deal with, so it was better for him to leave.

While talking, Qu Jingyao began to introduce herself to a few people. She was making pearl flowers, and there would be other things in the future. Currently, there was only pearl flowers. She would give thirty cents for each finished product they made.

But the work must be done carefully, not roughly.

Those who fail to meet the requirements will have their money deducted.

When Widow Fu heard that she could earn thirty cents each, her eyes were filled with shock. She asked again for confirmation, and only came to her senses when Qu Jingyao nodded seriously.

In this way, the mother and daughter would have money to buy food, which really saved their lives!

Yu was also thinking in her mind that as long as some time passed, she could ask her mother-in-law to separate the family.

The two agreed at the same time.

Qu Jingyao called out to Baiguo to bring over the contract she had just written and asked the two of them to put their fingerprints on it.

Aunt Cui Lian and Ling Ling also wanted to sign the contract together at this time. Qu Jingyao had no choice but to agree because there were other people around.

"Yaoyao, I will be yours from now on, you have to work hard!"

As soon as Lingling finished speaking, her mother slapped her on the back of the head.

"Oh, my mother is not smart to begin with, and if I hit her, she will become even more stupid."

Everyone in the room laughed out loud at the mother and daughter.

Aunt Liu and Aunt Cui Lian began to teach the two how to make pearl flowers. They looked at the finished products with their eyes wide open in amazement, and asked if this was really the style that Yao girl came up with. It was so beautiful.

I didn't expect that this small piece of cloth could be made into such beautiful beaded flowers.

A few people started to work together, chatting and laughing.

Qu Jingyao looked at the earthen kang filled with people, the corners of her lips curled up, and she called Baiguo to go with her to her brother's room to draw pictures and write in the sketchbook.

Widow Fu saw that Qu Jingyao could actually read and write, and she enviously praised Liu for raising her child so well, saying that the child was not only beautiful but also dexterous.

Unlike her daughter, who doesn't like to talk all day long and always hides in the room embroidering handkerchiefs.

"Auntie, how is Sister Zhier's embroidery?"

Qu Jingyao, who had just walked to the door, asked.

Widow Fu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said that her daughter's embroidery skills were quite good, regardless of other things.

"Aunt, you can ask Sister Zhier to come over tomorrow. I have some embroidery work too. I'll pay you for it when it's done. The price depends on the difficulty and size of the work."

Qu Jingyao guaranteed that the wages would definitely be appropriate, and if possible, let her try.

"Really? That's great, don't worry, Yao girl. I'll go back and tell her tonight and bring her over tomorrow."

Widow Fu never expected that she would be so lucky today. All the difficulties in her family were solved at once. If she had more money, she would renovate the house and find a son-in-law for her daughter. Otherwise, she would be worried.

Thinking that there was finally hope for the future, the workers worked much faster.
