Travel to the mountains and make a fortune in silence

But since Zhou had brought it up, she couldn't really refuse, but her mother-in-law helped her decline.

In order not to embarrass Zhou, Wang Qing'er continued her mother-in-law's words, "Grandma, how about we add a braised pork dish and a leaf-infused tofu dish to Fourth Uncle's family every day, and also send two jars of mulberry jam and two jars of mulberry-infused wine over there, so that Uncle's family can keep them for the main feast."

Anyway, you can just make these two dishes at home and send them over. We also have plenty of mulberry jam and mulberry wine at home.

Especially the liquor, which probably weighed dozens of kilograms; even Old Man Mu couldn't drink much of it by himself.

"That's fine. I'll talk to your fourth aunt about this first thing tomorrow morning and send the dowry over as well." Zhou nodded, quite pleased with her granddaughter-in-law for not making things difficult for her.

"Grandma, take me with you too. I also want to prepare a gift for Sister Muxia." Wang Qing'er has been married into the family for so long, but apart from her own family, she hasn't had any contact with the Mu family's relatives or villagers!

This is a joyous occasion, so she'll definitely go and join in the fun.

As for dowry, you can give her any scented soap you have at home, and you can also give her aloe vera gel. Since she's marrying into a family in the county, you should give her more. If she likes it, it can also be a good advertisement for yourself.

She's doing all this to pave the way for the future of her scented soap business.

After the aloe vera gel was made, each of the girls in the family received a bottle to try. She herself also used it and did not experience any allergic reactions or adverse effects.

Therefore, she can give it away without worry.

Ever since the Mu family said they wanted to buy a shop, she began preparing to open it.

She designed several brocade boxes for holding scented soap and asked Mu Nan to have several of each design made.

There are brocade boxes for single bars of scented soap, as well as boxes for two, three, four, five, and six bars.

She was thinking that after opening the shop, the soap could be sold individually or in combination, and the price would be more favorable if you bought more.

It's just the right amount to pack six bars of scented soap and six bottles of aloe vera gel to give to Muxia as a dowry.

The brocade box that holds three bars of soap can hold just the right amount of six bottles of aloe vera gel.

“Qing’er, it would be good for you to go out and visit. Only a few of your uncles’ wives have met you. You haven’t met the other uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters yet,” Wang Cuiying said.

The three aunts had sent congratulatory gifts after learning of Mu Nan's marriage. At that time, the Mu family's debts had not yet been paid off, so the aunts came to sit for a while, met Wang Qing'er, exchanged a few pleasantries, and left without even eating.

However, the gifts were still quite substantial: each family received a bolt of fine cotton cloth, a set of silk quilt covers, and two taels of silver.

"Qing, then you can come with me tomorrow. I'll show you around. I've already prepared the gifts, so you don't need to send any more."

"Grandma, I'm just giving some scented soap and aloe vera cream to Muxia. Young ladies should all like these." Wang Qing'er was determined to give this gift; she couldn't let such a good opportunity for publicity pass her by. She had to make good use of her connections in the county.

When Zhou heard that the gifts were scented soap and aloe vera cream, she stopped objecting, thinking it was just a matter of how girls should interact, and that it was good to give girls things they liked to make friends.

"Mom, I want to go too! I want to go play with Mu Yaya!" Mu Yao said, sidling up to Wang Qing'er.

"Then tell your mother, Yao'er, who is Mu Yaya? Is she your good friend?" Wang Qing'er picked up her daughter and placed her on her lap.

"Mu Yaya is my little sister, a chubby little sister. She can't talk yet, she can only laugh. She always needs me to carry her, but Yao'er can't carry her at all, she's too fat."

Alright! After Mu Yao talked for a long time, Wang Qing'er finally figured out that Mu Yaya was probably still a baby, and she still didn't know whose child it was.

"Yaya is my cousin Mu Nian's youngest daughter, she's not even a year old yet," Mu Nan explained when he saw his wife still looking puzzled.

"Mu Yaya is Uncle Nian's younger sister. He also has an older sister named Mu Xi and a younger brother named Mu Yuan, who are all my good friends... Well, I have many, many more good friends, and they all love playing with me."

As Mu Yao spoke, she counted on her fingers, but she couldn't possibly count how many good friends she had, so she could only use "so many" to represent them.

"Alright then, Mom will take Yao with her tomorrow." Wang Qing'er affectionately tapped the little one's forehead.

"Yao'er, haven't you been studying properly lately? Is that why you can't count anymore? Also, why aren't you writing properly?"

Mu Nan put on a stern face and said to his daughter that he was too busy to take care of her before.

Although Wang Qing'er is now teaching her to read and write, he still checks on his daughter's studies whenever he has free time.

A few days ago, Wang Qing'er unintentionally complained to Mu Nan that her daughter's handwriting was too ugly and she was not very willing to practice, so she had to ask her to stop for the time being.

"Dad, I've been studying hard. I can count. If you don't believe me, I'll count for you: one, two, three, four, four, four..." Yao'er counted and then forgot what number came after the fourth.

After thinking for a moment, he hugged Wang Qing'er's neck and whispered, "Mother, what comes after four? Tell me quietly, but don't let Father know."

Wang Qing'er smiled without saying a word as she looked at Mu Nan, implying that since Mu Nan was her biological daughter, she should take care of her.

Mu Nan pretended to be angry and said, "Mu Yao, your father is still here. Do you want to cheat with your mother?"

"Father, I didn't. I was just whispering sweet nothings with Mother." Mu Yao quickly shook her head and waved her hands, knowing she definitely couldn't admit it.

Mu Nan was somewhat helpless. Her daughter wasn't this clever and mischievous before. Now... she hadn't learned any of her mother's other good qualities, but she had learned these things.

But it's fine for a girl to be like this; if she doesn't like to study, then she doesn't like to study!

But you still need to know some characters so you won't get scammed in the future.

"Since Yao'er doesn't like reading and writing, how about Father teaches you martial arts?"

Since she doesn't like reading, let her learn some martial arts to protect herself, so that she can fight back if she gets scammed.

"I won't learn, I won't learn." Mu Yao shook her head faster than a rattle drum.

“Your mother also wants to learn, why don’t you two learn together?” Mu Nan suddenly remembered that his wife had also said she wanted to learn martial arts, but she got sick and it was delayed, so he hadn’t taught her.

Wang Qing'er had long forgotten about practicing martial arts. If Mu Nan hadn't brought it up, she would have completely forgotten that her husband was skilled in martial arts.

"Brother Mu Nan, you say you have kung fu skills, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes. You say you can fly, so why don't you fly and show me?"

"It's too late to fly at night. Let Mu Nan and Mu Xiao have a match in the yard." Old Man Mu was worried about the safety of using his lightness skills at night, so he suggested that the two brothers have a match. He hadn't seen them practice martial arts in a long time.

“Alright, since sister-in-law wants to see, I’ll have a match with my brother, but I’m sure I can’t beat him.” Mu Xiao stood up and walked to the middle of the courtyard. He hadn’t had a match with his brother in a long time and was quite eager to do so.
