A blessed wife leads her husband to wealth and prosperity!

After finishing a sumptuous lunch, Madam Lin sent her son to keep her son-in-law company while she took her daughter back to the house to talk.

Heya, how are you treated by your husband's family? Are you getting used to the food at your in-laws' house? Madam Lin is very concerned about her daughter's life after marriage!

Don't worry, Mom. My mother-in-law is taking good care of me. You can see how well she's treating me. You still don't trust the gifts she brought back today?

Yes, yes, your mother-in-law's homecoming gift is indeed quite generous! In rural areas, the more homecoming gifts the groom's family prepares on the day the bride returns to her parents' home, the more it shows that they value their daughter-in-law!

Mother, is everything alright at the workshop these past few days? Lin He'er returned home, and besides missing her mother and younger brother, what she couldn't let go of most was the workshop.

Don't worry, Heya, the workshop is fine. The embroidery shop assistant even came to our house yesterday and placed a big order. We're working overtime to finish it now, so we don't have time to think about anything else!

Can you handle it? Lin He'er was worried that the quantity of goods needed would be too large and the women in her family wouldn't be able to manage it.

Yes, Li has now learned these new styles, and the two of us can make them together!

If the embroidery shop orders too much, Mother doesn't need to rush to finish every time. She can ask them to give her more time. She also shouldn't work by lamplight at night, as it's easy to damage her eyes! Lin He'er was afraid that her mother was too eager to earn money, so she gave her a few more instructions.

After Lin He'er finished speaking with her mother, she had intended to take a look at the workshop, but there wasn't enough time. Besides returning home for her parents' wedding, she also needed to go to town to buy some things, so she had to leave now!

Heya, be careful on the road! Madam Lin, along with her son, saw her daughter and son-in-law off at the village entrance!

"Mother, go back now. I'll come see you again in a while!" Lin He'er waved goodbye to the two people standing at the crossroads.

After leaving the village, Wen Yuning drove the oxcart faster. Once they reached the town and found a place to leave the oxcart, Lin He'er and Wen Yuning hurried towards the oil mill. Their main purpose in coming to town today was to buy ingredients for making preserved eggs and sesame paste eggs.

For the business Lin He'er mentioned, Madam Liu had invested quite a bit this time. Before leaving, she called her daughter-in-law into her room and took out five taels of silver from her bosom. This was the last of the family's money left, after deducting the funds set aside for spring planting! "Mother trusts He'er; this silver is for you to use!"

When Lin He'er received the money from her mother-in-law, she felt that this was a heavy responsibility, as if she were putting all her savings on her shoulders!

The two arrived at the oil mill. Lin He'er entered the shop, and the oil mill clerk greeted her warmly. "What kind of oil would this young lady like to buy?"

When she suddenly heard someone call her "Madam," Lin He'er was still a little confused. But when she thought about how she was now a married woman and had the hairstyle of a married woman, she felt relieved.

Hey bro, I'm not buying oil, do you sell sesame oil residue?

Sesame oil residue? Madam, my family sells sesame oil, but I don't know if the shopkeeper sells this residue. This is the first time I've ever seen someone come to the oil mill and buy oil residue instead of oil!

Could you please ask the shopkeeper for me? Lin He'er wants to buy pork cracklings to make sesame sauce eggs. Using only sesame paste would be too expensive, and even if it were made, it wouldn't fetch a good price. Pork cracklings are perfect; they're not wasteful, and the sesame sauce eggs taste just like those made with sesame paste!

After hearing what the young lady said, the shop assistant turned around and went into the shop to ask the manager.

"Which lady wants to buy pork cracklings?" Manager Liu asked as he emerged from the back of the shop.

Shopkeeper, I'd like to buy some sesame oil residue from your shop. Do you sell that?

"Madam, how much pork crackling do you want? If you only need a small amount, I can just go to the back and get some for you." Manager Liu came out and saw that the person who wanted to buy pork crackling was a young lady. He thought that if she didn't need much, he could just give it to her himself, since it was all cheap stuff.

I've ordered quite a lot, thank you for your kindness, shopkeeper, but please calculate the cost for me.

Okay, how much do you want? I'll call it for you from the back!

"Give me half a bucket," Lin He'er gestured with her hand.

Lin He'er spent 5 coins to buy half a bucket of sesame oil residue from the oil mill and asked Wen Yuning to deliver it to the oxcart to keep an eye on it. She then planned to go to the general store to see if they sold any seasonings.

When we arrived at the general store, we asked the shopkeeper if he had star anise and cinnamon, but he shook his head and said he didn't sell medicinal herbs. It seems that these things are still only used as medicinal herbs.

Lin He'er had no choice but to go to the pharmacy again and spend nearly one tael of silver to buy a large bag, almost buying out all the medicinal herbs in the pharmacy.

After buying all the ingredients needed to make the food, Lin He'er carried the things with difficulty toward the oxcart.

Wen Yuning saw the little girl shuffling towards them from a distance and quickly took the things from her hands. "If I'd known we were going to buy so much, you could have waited here and I would have gone instead."

"It's okay, it's just that we bought a lot this time. If we need this much stuff again next time, I'll definitely make you do all the hard work!" Lin He'er teased Wen Yuning with a smile.

Hey, get in the car and rest. We'll head back once we've bought everything. If we stay any longer, it'll be dark by the time we get home!

The two got into the car and headed home. They had a lot of things to do this time. Although they were in a hurry, by the time they arrived in the village, the oil lamps were already lit in the houses!

Inside the main room of the Wen family, Madam Liu, with her hands clasped, muttered to the head of the household, "Why haven't Sanlang and the others arrived yet? It's already dark. Go and greet the young couple; it's not safe for them to walk alone at night."

"Alright, you wait at home, I'll go out to greet him." Wen Dazhuang, the head of the Wen family, got up and walked towards the door.

Just as he reached the courtyard gate, he heard someone knocking on it from the outside. "Dad, He'er and I are back. Open the gate."

"Hey, they're here." Hearing that his son and daughter-in-law had returned, Wen Dazhuang quickly opened the courtyard gate.

Dad, you and He'er unload the things from the cart first, I'm going to return the oxcart to the village chief.

Sanlang and He'er are back? When Liu heard that the two had returned, she hurriedly came out of the house to help unload the things.

Seeing the huge pile of things on the oxcart, Liu felt a pang of heartache; it must have cost a lot of money! She hoped everything would go smoothly from there, otherwise the money would be wasted.

After unloading the goods from the cart, Liu stopped her son from running out and chased him all the way home to return the oxcart.

Sanlang and He'er haven't had dinner yet, have they? I've saved some food for you two. Go and eat. You've had a long day, so eat and get some rest.

Although she was eager to know how to use these things, Liu saw that her son and daughter-in-law were both quite tired, so she urged them to go eat and rest!
