"Qingxue girl, you're finally back. Tell me what you think. Why did you hire so many people to serve us? Our family is so poor, why would we need so many people to serve us?"

Seeing her precious granddaughter Lin Qingxue coming back, Mrs. Lin finally couldn't help but start nagging. She had been holding it in for a long time.

"Grandma, don't worry!" Lin Qingxue smiled helplessly. She whispered to comfort Mrs. Lin, "Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, Auntie, in addition to these eleven servants, I also bought a house with two courtyards and a shop today."

Lin Qingxue's words were like a thunderbolt that made everyone's eyes go blank. Mrs. Lin and the others stared at Lin Qingxue in amazement, their heads filled with goo. Didn't they buy eleven servants? How did it become buying a house and a shop?

"The house is in Qingmin's name, and the shop is in my name. I thought that with so many people in our family, we can't just sit back and enjoy our savings. We have to find a way to start a small business and make some money to support our family."

Lin Qingxue said this seriously. After listening to her words, Old Man Lin looked at Mrs. Lin, and then at Uncle Lin and the others. Well, they were all very shocked. It was obvious that Lin Qingxue did this without discussing it with everyone. It was her idea alone.

"No, girl, where did you get so much money to buy a shop and a house?" Mrs. Lin opened her mouth and asked in a low voice.

"Yes! Qingxue girl, we can't do anything rash," Mrs. Lin's words also awakened Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin.

"Qingxue girl, was she found in the bandit's lair?" An idea flashed through Old Lin's mind, and he suddenly asked.

After hearing what Old Man Lin said, the Lin family also reacted. One of them stared at Lin Qingxue with wide eyes, and they were all looking forward to her answer.

"Ahem!" Lin Qingxue never thought that Old Man Lin could guess the source of the silver just by these few words, and she admired him very much.

She smiled and said, "Yes, my eldest brother and I talked about finding a lot of silver in the bandit's lair. He also knew about this. My brothers and sisters divided the silver among us, but it's not good for outsiders to know about it."

"You brothers and sisters are really amazing!" Uncle Lin couldn't help but say sarcastically, these unfilial sons, they didn't even discuss such a big thing with them.

"I plan to let Qingming continue his studies, and send Xiaoshan and his brothers to school as well. Before, our family didn't have money for their education, so we had to ask Qingmin to come back and teach them how to read. Now that we have money and don't need them to work in the fields, it's natural to send them to school. What do you think?"

When it comes to studying, Old Man Lin and the others all frowned and kept silent. Studying is indeed a difficult problem. It's not that Lin Xiaoshan and the others can't study. They brothers are all smart and have some talent, but they just have to suffer from the lack of money at home.

Old Man Lin and the others were in deep thought. When Lin Xiaoshan and his brothers heard that they could go to school, they looked at Old Man Lin and Uncle Lin eagerly. The others felt very sad. They were their own children, so how could they not feel sorry for them?

"You are thoughtful. It's your grandma's fault that you and I didn't think of this. We just wanted to solve the problem of food and clothing first," said old man Lin with a bitter face. How could he not know that Lin Xiaoshan and the others wanted to go to school!

But there was only so much money in the family, and the second son and his wife had no money because the eldest son had none, and this was owed by the first wife to the second wife, so they had no way to do anything about it.

"Don't blame me, Master. I only thought about studying now that I have enough food and clothing. I thought of letting Jiang Zhang take a maid to the house in the city, and then let Qingmin and the eight Xiaoshan brothers live there. Since we want to study, we can naturally go together. It's good to have company, and Qingmin can also help his nephews with their studies."

Lin Qingxue said seriously that the eldest wife had paid enough for the brothers and sisters of the second wife, so how could she be indifferent and enjoy it for granted?

"Okay, your arrangement is very good. I will listen to you. You brothers and sisters can discuss the family matters together. We are old now, and the family still depends on you," said old man Lin with a smile, his face full of pride. He was naturally happy that his children had made progress.

"Grandpa, grandma, I know you don't want to go to the city, and I won't force you. Uncle and aunt are the same. Whether it's in the city or here, you can live wherever you like. I don't have the money to buy a house for my eldest brother and the others right now, but when the right opportunity comes in the future, each of the six of us brothers and sisters will buy a house. The same goes for the shop. We'll buy it when we have the chance."

Today, Lin Qingxue only spent her own money on buying the shop, took Lin Qingmin's share of the money for the house, and used her family's money to buy the servants. She also told this matter to avoid future entanglements.

Fortunately, Lin Qingxue calculated it so clearly that not only did she not make everyone feel disgusted, but she made everyone very happy. She did not blindly compromise herself to subsidize the family, but did what she had to do.

"There's no rush for the shop, brother. Do you think we should open it after preparing in the next few days or after the New Year?" Lin Qingxue asked with a smile while sitting on the chair.

"Let's open the shop now! We'll prepare for it over the next few days and go into the city tomorrow. First, clean it up and buy anything we need. You'll take three floors of the shop's profits, give Zhonggong two floors, and the remaining five floors will be divided among the five of us. No matter if you and Qingyue get married or not, we'll always divide it this way. Grandpa and grandma, dad and mom, is this all right with you?"

After Lin Qingming finished speaking, he looked up at Old Man Lin and Uncle Lin, wanting them to express their opinions. He thought that this division was very good.

Listening to the conversation between Lin Qingming and the others, Li Yanniang and her three sisters-in-law sat beside them with their children and listened attentively. They were happy when they knew that the family had so much money that they could send their children to school.

As mothers, if their children and husbands are good, they will naturally be good too. They have no maternal family, and only their husbands and children are their closest and most beloved people.

Naturally, they were willing to accept Lin Qingxue's generous offer. They knew Linjia Village better than anyone else, as they had fled famine and settled there. Otherwise, they would have been dead long ago if Lin Qingxue had risked his life to protect them many times.

During the most serious robbery by bandits, when their lives were at stake, they saw that Lin Qingxue remembered to find the children and put them in the treasure even in such danger, and then came back to save them. She did not hide away alone, not caring about their lives.

In addition, Lin Qingxue usually had money and delicious food, and she often used it to subsidize the children and everyone.

So, how could they not like such a good sister-in-law?

In this world, how many sisters-in-law are willing to risk their lives to protect their sisters-in-law? How many sisters-in-law are willing to risk their lives to save their children?
