My sister became the empress, but I'm still growing vegetables and raising chickens

"Why not? You don't have much money right now, so I'll pay for the temporary rent. When you save up enough money, just pay me back." Si Muyan said, "Also, if you use the Si Family Porridge Shop as your signboard, I'll take a 10% interest every month."

Zhu Laoer and his wife looked at each other and saw joy in each other's eyes.

In the past, they felt illiterate and knew nothing. But in the past half month, they have learned how to make various porridges, entertain guests, and keep accounts by drawing little figures.

It’s not that they didn’t dream about owning their own porridge shop, but that was just a dream after all. They never thought that the dream would come true so soon.

"Isn't 10% profit too little? After all... after all..." Aunt Zhu rubbed her hands excitedly, "You guys opened the porridge shop, we..."

Si Muyan shook her head. "10% profit is fine. I won't be in charge of anything from now on. I'll just show Wan'er the account book once a month and I'll get 10%. It's not a loss for me. Anyway, once the business is up and running, if you have any questions, just come and ask me."

The two of them apologized profusely and waited for their third brother and sister-in-law to agree.

After Si Muyan returned, she immediately went to Zhu Laosan's house and told him everything.

"Tomorrow afternoon, we will deliver all the items related to the porridge shop there. If you are willing, please pack up and go with us tomorrow."

Zhu Laosan has been very nervous these days. He was reluctant to give his wife the fixed amount of fifteen cents a day, but after being frightened last time, his wife has been in a depressed state. She is afraid to go out, let alone go to the street. She is only willing to work and take care of the children at home every day.

I heard that Si Xingzhi and Si Xiaomei from the Si family now get up early to do work, and they have also asked the He family to help drive the car.

He felt that Miss Yan from the Si family might not need their help anymore. Just when he was feeling discouraged, Si Muyan came to him and told him that they could go to the county town together.

"Children...are going too?"

Si Muyan nodded with a smile: "Yes, take the children with you. Third sister-in-law can't bear to leave the children, so she can stay behind to take care of them. This way, Dachun and Xiaochun can be with their parents, and you and your wife don't have to be separated, nor do you have to be separated from the children."

Aunt Zhu sat in the corner, holding San Ya in her arms with her head lowered in a daze.

San Ya spoke in a babbling voice, which was not like her at all. She blushed when she saw people and didn't dare to speak.

Originally, she had been working at the porridge shop, mainly washing dishes and occasionally helping to serve porridge to customers. She had become a bit braver, but now...

Seeing the two people hesitate, Si Muyan continued with a smile: "We have calculated that under the current circumstances, we can earn ten taels of silver a month. After we move there, although the place is smaller, it is where the common people live, and it is very convenient to go out and eat porridge. I estimate that ten taels of silver a month will definitely not be a small amount. In addition, Aunt Luo also has some money every month. After deducting the rent and the 10% interest she gives me, how can we earn six taels of silver a month? How to divide it is up to you two families."

Six taels of silver?

Aunt Zhu's heart was pounding. Even if she was just going to take care of the children and the man was working alone, her second brother and sister-in-law were kind people, so they would always give them two taels of silver, right?

Two taels of silver. The month before, when the men earned the most, they took home one tael and five cents. They only worked for a month and a half. The men themselves quit, saying many people had died in the quarry, either accidentally crushed to death or from exhaustion.

The man became so thin during that month and a half that he looked unrecognizable. She felt so distressed.

Now that she can easily earn two taels of silver a month, how can she not be tempted?

"This..." Zhu Laosan was still hesitating. If they all moved there, he was afraid that his wife would be timid and would not dare to go to the county town.

Aunt Zhu raised her head: "Let's do it..."

After saying that, he quickly lowered his head.

Si Muyan didn't care about their thoughts and nodded, saying, "Okay, then you guys pack up well tonight and come with us to the canteen tomorrow morning. After the canteen is done with lunch, we'll move things together in the afternoon."

"to make."

However, after returning home, Mr. Xu Si thought for a long time. Thinking about the performance of the two girls from the Si family today, he felt that they were not ordinary village girls.

When he was very young, he followed the manager of the shop and went to the village to collect things. He met many village girls, some of whom were bold and fierce, but even the calm girls were basically pretending.

The two girls from the Si family were both indifferent to fame or disgrace, and were even calmer than him when encountering problems.

He turned and went to Old Lady Xu's yard. After talking with his mother for a while, he asked, "Mother, I want to ask you something. Do you remember the time I came back more than half a month ago? I met a girl in the yard at that time. At first, I thought she was your new maid."

Old Mrs. Xu's eyes flickered. She glanced at Mrs. Gao beside her, but she didn't show it on her face. She just pretended not to remember: "Really? I don't quite remember."

"It's the girl from the Si family..." When Mr. Xu Si said this, his ears turned red.

Old Lady Xu smiled and said, "So you're talking about the daughter of the Si family. Have you seen her?"

Fourth Master Xu nodded. "Yes, I met her again yesterday by chance. When she expressed her gratitude, I learned that my mother had rented her a shop, and she opened the Sijia Food Shop, which is now very famous."

"Si's Food Shop? Isn't it a porridge shop?"

Fourth Master Xu said, "I make porridge in the morning and sell something else at noon."

"Oh." Old Lady Xu took a cup of tea and drank it, then said, trying to hide her emotions, "She looks smart. Feng'er is fine, why ask her?"

Fourth Master Xu paused before saying, "I originally heard she was a village girl, but today I went to the restaurant for dinner and... spoke to her for a few more words. I felt that her conversation was unusual, so I became curious. Is it true that ordinary village girls are like this?"

Old Lady Xu's eyes were filled with joy, but she only said, "I hadn't noticed this. I only met her once. I heard from Mother Gao that she was very capable. She used to take her brothers and sisters to sell porridge at the morning market. It was very hard for them to be chased back and forth, but she never gave up. Right, Mother Gao?"

Mother Gao immediately chimed in, "Yes, I went to buy porridge for the young master and she seemed quite clever. I heard she was quite pitiful. She'd lost her brother, her father owed a lot of money gambling, her mother was sick, and her brother was still so young... Tsk, tsk, tsk, pitiful girl, so young, and she had to support a family."

After Fourth Master Xu left, Madam Gao couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't the old lady tell Fourth Master the truth about the Si family?"

Old Lady Xu shook her head and said, "You can't tell. Let him remain curious. Curiosity will lead to exploration, and exploration will lead to intersections. Then the two of them will naturally interact. Miss Si is a good person, and Feng'er is also excellent. I think they must be a match made in heaven."
