San Niu stood at the door, watching the car drive away, then looked up at the snowflakes falling from the sky. Sigh, finally all the work is done, and it's almost New Year's. Now that we have money, we don't have to worry about going hungry anymore. We can finally have a happy and carefree life!

San Niu turned and walked home. When she got to the kitchen, everyone was waiting for her to have breakfast!

San Niu sat down and ate breakfast with everyone. After breakfast, San Niu settled all the accounts!

San Niu called everyone over and said, "I've settled all the accounts. Let's divide the money today so that you can all go home early and prepare for the New Year!"

San Niu counted the money carefully. "Uncle, this is your family's wages. It's all calculated according to what we agreed on. You get five yuan for each pig, and one mao for each foot of cloth and yarn. I've put all the cloth and yarn that were sold into your family's accounts. Please take a look at the accounts," San Niu said.

“San Niu, if you calculate it this way, it’s basically our family’s business, so we’re the ones who benefit. We don’t need to look at the accounts anymore,” Wang Dayong said!

“Okay, then let’s go by the books. This 18,000 yuan is your wages, and this 2,000 yuan is an extra gift from my father. Thanks to your help, our business has been so successful this year. You’ve all worked hard. Take this money back and have a good New Year,” San Niu said.

"Oh my! We got so much money! Thank you, brother-in-law, thank you, San Niu!" Auntie said happily.

"Wow, I never expected to earn so much money in just over a month!" Wang Dayong's hands were shaking as he held the 20,000 yuan.

"Mom, take some of the cloth, yarn, pork, and offal from home and give it to Uncle and the others so they can take it back as New Year's gifts," San Niu said.

“Your father and I have prepared everything,” Wang Cuihua said.

“Okay, let’s cook something nice for lunch. We’ll make braised pork, stewed ribs, some pork offal, and tofu stewed with pig’s blood. We’ll let Uncle and the others have lunch before they go back,” San Niu said.

"Okay, let's go make it now!" Wang Cuihua and her aunt happily went to cook!

"Grandpa, after the New Year, my family wants to build a new house. We'll build four rooms: a main house, two storerooms, a kitchen, and a big yard. We'll use bricks for everything, and the roofs will all be tiled. It'll probably cost a lot of money," San Niu said.

"I don't know either. We live in mud houses and have never built a brick house before! After the New Year, your father and I will go to the brick factory to ask about the price of bricks, and then calculate how many bricks, tiles, and roof beams we'll need to build so many houses and yards. We'll ask someone who knows how to build houses beforehand, and then we'll know," said Old Wang.

“Okay, we’ll ask later. Oh, Dad, wait a minute, get some pork and offal. Have Grandpa go with you to the village chief’s house and ask for the vacant land next to our house so we can build a house. When we get there, just tell him that we need to find people to work after the New Year! If he gives us this land, we’ll have his two sons come and work for us. If he doesn’t want to, just tell him we’ll go to Grandpa’s house to slaughter a pig. He’ll definitely agree,” San Niu said.

“Let’s go now! I’ll ask for more land later. Didn’t you want to set up a slaughterhouse? The bigger the place, the more space we can operate,” Zhang Laosan said.

Zhang Laosan took a large piece of meat, along with a lot of pig offal and pig blood, put them in his basket, and went to the village chief's house with Wang Laotou. San Niu was worried and went along too!

The three of them quickly arrived at the village chief's house. Zhang Laosan went up and knocked on the door, "Shout, is anyone home?"

"Who is it! Oh dear! It's your family! Come in quickly, everyone, come inside!" said the village chief's youngest son.

"Uncle Village Chief, is he home? We need to talk to him about something," Zhang Laosan said.

"My dad went to my uncle's house. Let's come inside and sit down. I'll tell the kids to go and call my dad back. Hu Zi, go to your uncle's house and call him back. Tell him we need to talk to him urgently. Okay, Dad, I'll go right now." Hu Zi ran off to fetch him!

San Niu and the others went inside and sat down. The village chief's youngest son quickly poured each of them a bowl of water.

San Niu thought for a moment and then said, "Uncle, my family wants to build a slaughterhouse. You and Uncle Dabing can come and work for us! We can earn money to send Hu Zi and the others to school. After they finish their studies, I'll ask my godfather to help him find a job at the factory!"

"San Niu! Are you telling the truth? Your family wants a factory, and you can even find a job for Hu Zi?" Zhang Xiaojun asked.

“As long as your dad gives us the land next to our house, I’ll build a factory after the New Year and find a job for Tiger. It’s true, I have two godfathers, one is the manager of a wool factory and the other is an old leader of a textile factory. It won’t be difficult to arrange two jobs for him. But you have to let Tiger go to school. Without education, factories in the city won’t hire him. After the New Year, my eldest and second eldest sisters will go to school, and I’ll arrange jobs for them in the city then,” San Niu said.

"My goodness! San Niu is amazing, she's managed to get two big bosses as her godfathers all at once. From now on, the work for Tiger and his brother will be yours," Zhang Xiaojun said!

“The job is no problem, but you have to get your dad to give my family that piece of land,” San Niu said.

"Leave the land to me. I'll definitely get my dad to allocate two or three acres for your family. What do you say, Zhang Xiaojun? Ask Sanniu!"

“Then let’s have three mu! If the place is too small, we won’t be able to set up a factory,” San Niu said.

Just as San Niu finished speaking, the village chief walked in!

“Dad, please sit down. San Niu’s family wants to start a pig slaughterhouse and wants you to allocate a piece of land for them so they can set up the factory. Ideally, they’d like three acres, otherwise the factory won’t be able to get off the ground,” Zhang Xiaojun said.

"What? Three mu of land? That's impossible!" The village chief waved his hand angrily.

“If Grandpa Village Chief is in a difficult position, we can only go to my maternal grandfather’s house. His village runs a factory, and when the factory needs to hire people, they will have to look for them in his village. Dad, Grandpa, let’s go back!” San Niu said and walked out.

"Don't go!" Zhang Xiaojun stopped Sanniu. "Uncle, we have a lot of things to do at home! Here, take the things in this basket. Have a good New Year!" Sanniu said, and then walked out.

Zhang Laosan and Wang Laotou followed Sanniu outside. As they walked, Zhang Laosan said, "Sanniu, what if the village chief doesn't agree? We'll have to go to your maternal grandfather's village to handle it!"

"Dad, don't worry, the village chief will agree. Not only will he agree, but he'll also allocate us a lot of land. Let's just go home and wait!" San Niu said with a smile.

San Niu believed that even if the village chief didn't want to agree, his two sons would persuade their father to agree if they wanted to work in their factory and earn money. When it comes to profit, everyone will bow down!
