Reborn as a devoted sister-in-law, she leads the entire village to prosperity.
Chapter 16 Points Out a Way to Make Money for My Brother-in-Law
"The wild boar meat was hunted yesterday, so what's going on with these?" Yu Bantao was dumbfounded as she looked at the items one by one.
I glanced at it and saw that the rice and flour were all refined rice and flour, and the worst of the fabrics were fine cotton cloth.
Has her family suddenly become rich?
“Yesterday I found a ginseng, and I sold it today for money. My family has suffered a lot these past two years because of my foolishness, so this is a small token of my appreciation.”
"Big sister, I will definitely make sure everyone lives a good life in the future."
"Brother-in-law, you have a skill, have you ever thought about gathering a group of people to build houses for others?"
Yu Banxia looked at Zhang Quangui. This brother-in-law was a good man and not blindly filial.
He was also very good to his eldest sister. Back then, it was the Lan family that kept tormenting his eldest sister, and his brother-in-law got angry and proposed to separate the family.
After the family split up, they received very little. Even the house they were given was a thatched hut, which has now been replaced by a tiled house with a small courtyard.
It was all the result of her brother-in-law's own hard work, and she admired him very much.
Zhang Quangui scratched his head: "It is indeed a good thing to form a team of bricklayers, but I don't have that much money right now, and I only know how to build simple tiled houses."
"Most men would do it, and no one would specifically ask us to."
Yu Banxia laughed: "Brother-in-law, you don't need to worry about money, but you need to swear to God that you can only be good to my sister for the rest of your life."
"If you ever become rich and look down on my older sister, may you be struck by lightning!" Upon hearing Yu Banxia say this, Yu Bantao looked at her younger sister in shock.
Third Brother and Yu Banyue waited quietly, knowing that their little sister must have her reasons for saying that.
Without a second thought, Zhang Quangui swore an oath to heaven, and Yu Bantao's eyes reddened slightly.
She had always known that her husband had always treated her well.
But she also understood that her younger sister was doing it for her own good, fearing that her husband would go astray once he had money.
"How about this, brother-in-law, come back with us too. We'll be buying land and building a new house soon, and I'll draw up a blueprint for the house then."
"When the house is built, you can take this construction plan with you. I don't believe no one will ask you to build houses for them."
"A house is going to be built?" Not only Yu Bantao, but also Yu Mancang and his sister were surprised.
When did this happen?
"Our house seems big enough for now, but have you two thought about what will happen when Tiger and the others grow up? Third Brother will also be getting married soon."
Yu Mancang was taken aback, then blushed.
He hadn't even thought about getting married, but his younger sister was already worrying about it for him.
“Okay, then I’ll go back with you for a few days. Even if we don’t build the house for now, it’ll be busy with farming soon. After we finish harvesting my father-in-law’s crops, I’ll come back to harvest my own.”
Zhang Quangui readily agreed, saying that although his sister-in-law had said so, building a house was not something that could be done on a whim; it definitely required careful planning.
But the busy farming season is just around the corner, so I'll go help my father-in-law's family harvest the wheat first.
After the agreement was reached, Yu Bantao locked the cloth in a chest, hid the rice and flour in the cellar, and took the other items away.
Yu Banxia was extra careful and left a wood-type ability at the entrance of the cellar. If anyone tried to take advantage of her, it would trigger the wood-type ability to retaliate.
The trunk and cage were deliberately left out, because that old woman would surely cause more trouble.
She waited.
"Uncle Li, let's go back to the east side of the city." Old Li leaned against his car, smoking welding fumes.
Seeing Yu Banxia and the others come out, they quickly put out the welding fumes and went to the well to wash their hands.
Once everyone was seated, we set off immediately.
……
When they returned to town, Yu Bingsheng had also just returned not long before.
Seeing that Yu Banxia hesitated and ultimately said nothing, Yu Banxia was a little curious, but did not take the initiative to ask.
When we got home, we understood why Grandpa Liu had seemed hesitant to speak.
"What the hell?" Yu Banxia thought she had misheard and looked at her sister-in-law Wu Zhuxiang to ask.
Wu Zhuxiang had been in a bad mood ever since Xu Xiucai and his son came to visit.
"Then Scholar Xu has sent a matchmaker to propose marriage." Wu Zhuxiang said dejectedly. Although her sister-in-law had made her stance clear, who knew if she would change her mind after hearing that someone had come to propose marriage.
Upon hearing this, Yu Banxia's hands began to itch.
"Are they crazy? I said those things to him yesterday, is this some kind of revenge? Do they think that just because he's proposing marriage, I'll be grateful and eagerly go to his door?"
"Huh?" Wu Zhuxiang was taken aback. She had just seen her sister-in-law looking shocked and thought she was overjoyed.
Who would have thought that my sister-in-law would say such a thing?
They were momentarily stunned.
"Sister-in-law, next time something like this comes to our door, please just kick it out, okay?"
"It's a good thing I'm not home today, otherwise I would have personally swept them out with a broom, otherwise they would have made our yard dirty."
Seeing her sister-in-law's disdain, Wu Zhuxiang's gloom completely dissipated.
"Xiaxia, why did you buy so many things?" Wu Zhuxiang followed her into the main room and, seeing the pile of things inside, worried that her sister-in-law had spent all the money.
Yu Banxia looked at Wu Zhuxiang and comforted her, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I promised you, and I will definitely do it."
"Look, what's this?" Yu Banxia took out a complete set of the Four Treasures of the Study, as well as primers such as the Three Character Classic, the Hundred Family Surnames, and the Standards for Being a Good Student and Child.
Upon seeing these things, Wu Zhuxiang's eyes instantly turned red.
These were all bought by her when she passed by the bookstore on her way back from her older sister's house.
Besides these, she also bought her father policy essays and the Four Books and Five Classics.
She said she would support her father and nephew's education, and she wasn't just talking about it. In the future, she will also support her two aunts' nephews to go to school.
Even if one doesn't take the imperial examinations, being able to read and do arithmetic is a good thing.
"Xiaxia, thank you." Wu Zhuxiang didn't know what to say, so she hugged her tightly and thanked her gratefully.
Yu Banxia grinned: "Sister-in-law, we're family, no need to be so polite. I also have something to ask you today."
"What is it? Tell me." Wu Zhuxiang wiped away her tears of joy and looked at her with a smile.
Yu Banxia told Wu Zhuxiang about the dish she wanted to make, and Wu Zhuxiang nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I'll try it later, but you have to stand by and guide me."
"it is good."
"Where did Mother go?" Yu Banxia looked around but couldn't see her mother.
“Mother has gone to the old house,” Wu Zhuxiang replied.
Yu Banxia said "oh" and took the things for the old house. Yu Bantao also helped take some things. It had been a while since she had been back, so they decided to go and visit her grandmother and the others together.
"Grandma!" Yu Banxia called out loudly as they arrived at the old house.
Soon, Wu's voice came over: "Hey, my Xiaxia is back, she's in the yard."
Yu Banxia carried the things into the courtyard. When Wu saw them, she quickly came forward to take them: "Why did you take so much cloth?"
"Grandma, this is a gift from your granddaughter." Yu Banxia chuckled.
Mrs. Wu was taken aback, then said happily, "Oh, my granddaughter is so good. Let Grandma see what color cloth you bought for her."
