Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around

Chapter 274: Men are responsible for real money, women are only responsible for beauty

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Yingchun, Qiuju, and Dongshuang, three beautiful women, came together early in the morning. When Guoguo got up, the three of them knelt down and kowtowed. Guoguo looked at them. These were the men Yeheng had given her when she first came here. They had been with her for many years. They had taken good care of her and done everything without any carelessness. Seeing them again today, she said happily, "Get up! Who told you to kneel? This is not customary here. Just bow." Yingchun said, "Master, we know. We just want to kneel with you to thank you for taking care of us. We are all doing well." As they spoke, their eyes were red. Guoguo said, "Three sisters, please talk nicely. Let's go to the main hall."

Guoguo asked as they walked, "Do your family members treat you well?" Yingchun said, "Yes." Qiudong said, "Yes." Dongshuang smiled and said, "Yes." It seemed that they were living a good life, so she said, "If you have any problems, come to me." Yingchun said, "Master, I just want to ask. My son is three years old. Can we find a school for him to go to school? I also want to work in the shop!" Guoguo said, "Okay, I'll arrange it soon. After the fifteenth, we'll set up a school near the back door of our house. It's close to your home and close to where you can send your children." Yingchun said, "That's great, thank you, Master. I've been bored sitting here for the past two years, watching the children and cooking every day. Fortunately, I have a vegetable garden behind the house so I have something to do." Guoguo said, "That's good. At least there will be vegetables to eat." Qiuju nodded.

Entering the main hall, the three girls saluted Guoguo again. "Happy New Year, Master!" Guoguo said, "Stand up and bow. I have received your blessings. I will also give you a small gift." Guoguo put them on her hands and said, "We may look like master and servant, but in fact we are better than sisters. It's because you take care of me the most." Yingchun said, "It's what we should do." Guoguo said, "That's also my enjoyment."

Each person received a green jade hairpin. Guoguo said, "Simple and elegant." The three looked at each other and said, "Good." "This water head is good." Several girls chatted and laughed, and then Qinqishuhua came in and knelt down to kowtow. "Master, Happy New Year! Auspicious New Year!" Guoguo said, "Get up, and the four of you too, a hairpin each." Yingchun helped the four girls put them on their heads. "Thank you, Master." Guoguo said, "Everyone sit down, have some tea and some fruit." Qinqishuhua said in unison, "Thank you, Master. We've eaten a lot of delicious fruit with you. It's so delicious." Guoguo smiled and said, "You are all blessed. You are all destined to be with me!" "Yes!" Yingchun said, "When I first came, the Master was still a very small child." Qiuju also said, "The Master is the best at making money." Dongshuang smiled and said, "Master, she also likes to make money." Guoguo smiled happily, "Making money is good. You can buy whatever you want." You don't have to worry about other people's feelings. How wonderful! You have money at home, and the men won't dare bully you." Yingchun smiled and said, "My man treats me very well. He gives me his pay as soon as he gets it, and comes home to help me with the housework. He does the housework with me." Guoguo said, "Okay, that's what a good man is. I'm relieved that you're living a good life. If they dare to hit you, tell me and I'll help you vent your anger." The other women laughed out loud. "The master is still the best. It's fun to be with the master." It wasn't until almost noon that everyone said goodbye and didn't eat. Guoguo said, "Come and play when you're free." "We know the master." "Qin, help me see them off." "Okay."

Ye Heng came in and helped Guoguo walk back and forth in the room.

Soon, the Chai family members arrived one after another. Lunch was served. Chai Zhen said, "Finally, we're all sitting together today. Happy New Year, everyone. Have fun for a few days, and then eat." Zhang Baohua said, "I heard there's a lot of activity going on outside." Jiaxing looked at her and didn't say anything. Jiahe said, "Let's go out and take a look after dinner." Wang Min was delighted. Old Lady Li saw that the second son was silent and asked, "Jiaxing, are you very busy during the New Year?" Jiaxing said, "Mom, I am." Guoguo, sensing something, said, "Uncle, why don't you go home and stop working? It's not so busy back home." Jiaxing laughed and said, "Guoguo, you're joking. Uncle isn't busy, isn't he." Chai Zhen had an idea and said, "Be nice to Baohua. If she's tired, don't interfere. It's not like we don't have the manpower." Yeheng said, "In six months, I'll arrange for help. As many people as you need, all soldiers who have returned from the front lines, no worse than you." Jiaxing didn't dare to speak after hearing Yeheng's words. Chai Zhen added, "Jiaxing, don't blame grandpa for what he said. No one in our family treats our women badly. What are you trying to do? Our family wants Baohua, not you." Jiaxing stood up and knelt down and said, "Grandpa, I just want to work more, nothing else." Guoguo said, "Making money is for your family to live a good life, not to neglect your family. You can't become a slave to money." Chai Zhen also said, "Get up. It's New Year's Day. Baohua has been busy all year. Isn't it good for your mother to let you spend a few days with your family and rest? If not, just close the shop." Jiaxing quickly said, "Yes." He glanced at Zhang Baohua again.

Guoguo said, "I pray for my family to live together in peace and warmth in this life." Guoguo's past emotional trauma will be healed in this life, "Cherish life and family." Seeing Guoguo speak cautiously, Ye Heng was afraid that Guoguo would be unhappy, so he quickly said, "Let's eat." Old Mrs. Li said, "It's the New Year. From now on, all shops will be closed for the New Year. My fourth brother's son and third brother are here. I'm saying this, your daughter-in-law can have it, but your son doesn't have to. My daughters-in-law are all good, honest and hardworking. Mother Jiaxing knows that you are cunning and you can't go astray." Jiaxing said, "Mother and son will remember it. I'm sorry, Baohua, I won't do it again. It's my fault that I only thought about making money." Zhang Baohua: "I'm fine." Although she was sad and afraid that everyone would be unhappy.

Guoguo ate quickly. After finishing her meal, she said, "In the afternoon, after the three aunts wake up, we'll meet in the greenhouse. Guoguo wants to give you something nice. From now on, you won't have to work anymore. You'll need men to support you, and we'll just focus on being beautiful." Wang Min laughed heartily. "Okay. Women should be beautiful." Fu Zhaoxia said, "We're all good-looking." "That's right," she said, turning around. "Brother Ye, let's go back to the house." For the first time, Guoguo got angry. Ye Heng held his son in his arms and helped Guoguo walk away.

When they got into the house, Ye Heng said, "Guoguo, should we go back to the palace and live there for a while?" Guoguo said, "After the first month of the lunar year." "Okay. Let's sleep for a while." Huangbao climbed onto the bed and lay down, with his mother in the middle and his father outside.

In the afternoon, Guoguo bought milk powder, facial masks, lotions, eye shadows, and other cosmetics, as well as summer gauze materials. She took out Xiangyunsha and Hongyunsha. Ye Heng asked someone to move them. Guoguo said, "Send them to the greenhouse."

Ye Heng held his son and supported Guo Guo as they entered the greenhouse. The three aunts were already there. Guo Guo said, "Go wash your faces! There's water here." The three women washed their faces and hands, each of them looking beautiful without makeup. Guo Guo took out some makeup and applied it to Wang Min's face first. Zhang Baohua, who was applying a facial mask, took one and applied it to her own face, while Fu Zhaoxia followed suit. Guo Guo looked at them and said, "Yes, let's apply the mask first. Wait a moment, then remove it..."

Ye Heng took his son to the fields. Huang Bao looked at him and then at himself as he picked up a hoe. It was too small to lift it. Ye Heng told his son, "Just watch." Huang Bao sat on the ground and played in the mud. Ye Heng couldn't watch, just played. Ye Heng worked quickly, and soon he had hoeed a large patch of land and sowed the seeds. The soil was moist, no watering needed. Ye Heng said, "When the vegetables grow, we'll eat them first." Huang Bao said, "Okay. Baby, water them with spiritual spring water to make the vegetables grow faster." "My son is useful, haha."

Guoguo said, "Take off the mask and wash your face." Wang Min finished washing and sat down. Guoguo applied moisturizing toner, then cream, eyeshadow, lipstick, and eyebrows. She used a darker shade for her eyes and a brighter, more prominent nose, making her look like a celebrity. Zhang Baohua and Fu Zhaoxia looked at her and said, "She's so beautiful dressed up like this." Guoguo said, "Second aunt, let me put on your makeup." Wang Min looked in the mirror and said, "I'm not that beautiful!" Guoguo said, "Aunt, you don't recognize yourself!" Hahaha! Hahaha! "She looks twenty years younger." Old Lady Li came in. "Who's this?" The women laughed. Zhang Baohua said, "Mom, your eldest daughter-in-law."

"I look so good with makeup on! I can transform myself!" Guoguo said, "Yes, that's the effect of makeup. Even the ladies in the capital aren't as pretty as our family members. It's just that they maintain a fair complexion. Our family members are no worse than them, and they look even better." Zhang Baohua finished her makeup and looked in the mirror. "This is too, too, too, is this me?" Guoguo laughed out loud. Fu Zhaoxia said, "Second sister-in-law, you look so beautiful." Guoguo also said, "Second uncle, don't pay attention to your second uncle. Let him stay away from you and ignore him for a few days." Zhang Baohua said, "Your second uncle said he would take me out tonight." Guoguo sighed, sighed, sighed, second uncle's mother was hopeless. Guoguo put makeup on her third aunt again. Fu Zhaoxia looked in the mirror and saw that she looked much better than usual. She said, "I'll put on some makeup when I get home so your third uncle can see me. I'm pretty too." Guoguo said, "Well, my third uncle is pretty, but he doesn't usually pay attention to it. When you get home, you can also put a face mask on him and pat him with moisturizing lotion. There are men's cosmetics. I'll give them to you when you leave." Fu Zhaoxia said, "Okay, use them on him too. I find them pleasing to the eye." Guoguo thought to herself that her third aunt was interesting and said, "Okay." After following Guoguo for a long time, the whole family could speak some modern language. They were no longer reserved and seemed much more humorous!

Guoguo said again: "Grandma, you should go and take a shower. I'll put a facial mask on you to replenish water." Old Mrs. Li wanted to say "no", but when she opened her mouth, she said, "Okay."

She also went to wash her face, and Guoguo put makeup on her grandma.

The women were beautiful, but they just didn't take care of themselves. Mid-afternoon, the men arrived, and when they saw the women, they didn't recognize them. Jia He said, "Is that my wife?" Wang Min smiled and said nothing. Jia Xing looked at her without saying a word, unable to figure out which one was his. Guo Guo said, "What's the difference? If they can't find her, don't follow them, auntie."

Old Lady Li was laughing on the side. Chai Ping'an said, "I know my wife." He held Li Hongying's hand tightly. Li Hongying was a middle-aged noblewoman, so Chai Ping'an had no problem finding her. His daughters-in-law were still young, and it was hard to recognize them after putting on makeup! Wang Min said, "Jia He, do I look good?" Jia He turned to Wang Min and said, "Yeah, I do," and sat down next to Wang Min. Fu Zhaoxia was also sitting on the side. Jia Xing finally found his wife and looked at Zhang Baohua carefully. "Baohua, is that you?" Zhang Baohua asked, "Are you still my man?" Jia Xing's eyes lit up and he said, "My wife is so beautiful!" He whispered, "Let's stay at the hotel tonight. I have a room there." Zhang Baohua snorted. Jiaxing said, "I just want to go to work, I don't mean to ignore you." Zhang Baohua said, "Jiaxing, you can try. If you dare to have any extramarital affairs, I will take care of the two children by myself. Mom and Guoguo both support me." Jiaxing said slowly, "Dad and Grandpa are also good to you. I am a lonely person." Zhang Baohua said, "Don't pretend to be pitiful. Who can't live without the other." Jiaxing quickly apologized, "It's my fault. It's all my fault. From now on, when I'm busy, I will take you to the hotel to sleep. We won't be apart for a day. It's all my fault. I have been thinking about making money all these years. I forgot my original intention." Zhang Baohua said, " Jiaxing, you know we have more money than we can spend in two lifetimes. Not to mention Guoguo, I have tens of thousands of taels of silver myself. Just like Fengxing said, you'll have less to live on in the next six months. Just stay home and make a living." "Okay, I get it." Guoguo spoke again, "Second Uncle, we can get by. We'll find someone to help us, and you can just direct them. When you have free time, learn from Butler Ye. Uncle Ye manages several times more shops than you do, and he's never been home as often as you are. Learn how he manages." Yeheng also said, "I'll find someone to replace him in the next six months. Learn from Uncle Ye. We need someone to manage things, too. Second Uncle, you'll take over the management of the Wang Mansion and the Chai Mansion from now on." Jiaxing said, "I'm changing jobs!" Guoguo said, "You should learn how to behave. Uncle Ye is the best teacher." Yeheng added, "My Wang Mansion has tens of thousands of shops and land. I'll give them all to you later. Learn from them." Jiaxing suddenly felt under immense pressure. Guoguo said, "Uncle, don't give up on learning culture. Improve your brain." Jiaxing nodded dejectedly.

After dinner, Guoguo bought a large amount of writing brushes, inkstones, paper, and books. The jade room filled up half the room. Yeheng looked at it and said, "I can't use it all in a lifetime." Guoguo said, "There are so many people, so there are a lot of things to use."

Financial management, financial management. Ye Heng took it out and read it in his spare time. Huang Bao's books, Guo Guo took out many fairy tales, picture books, and a lot of literature.

Guoguo thought of Jiaxing again and said, "No, let my second uncle go to the academy to study for two years. He won't be able to do it without education." Yeheng said, "Okay, I'll arrange it."
