Reborn as a devoted sister-in-law, she leads the entire village to prosperity.
Chapter 27 Going to the Qian Family!
"Then I'll set off first. If you're going to town, ask your older brother or father to go with you. If neither of them has time, you can ask your eldest cousin to accompany you."
Yu Banxia nodded repeatedly. After seeing Yu Mancang off, she went to get a basin of warm water, wiped herself down, and changed her clothes.
He ran to the kitchen to eat, and Fan Cuilan quickly said, "Slow down, slow down, what are you doing in such a hurry?"
"Mom, after I finish eating, I'll go check if Uncle's wheelchair is ready. Big brother, could you go to Uncle Dacheng's house next door and borrow his cart for a bit?"
While shoveling porridge into her mouth, Yu Banxia said to Yu Mangui, who had already finished eating.
Yu Mangui nodded indulgently, telling her to eat slowly while he went to check on her.
"Okay." Yu Banxia grinned at him and indeed slowed down, looking at the traditional pickled vegetables on the table.
"Mother, when I come back, I'll teach you how to pickle some new kinds of vegetables so you can enjoy them in a short time."
“Okay.” Fan Cuilan nodded quickly.
After finishing his meal, he wiped his mouth and said to Wu Zhuxiang, "Sister-in-law, please wash the dishes today. I'll wash them tonight."
"Why would I need you? Can you even eat the dishes you washed?" Wu Zhuxiang said in a doting tone.
Yu Banyue covered her mouth and laughed, and Yu Bantao couldn't help but laugh too.
Yu Banxia thought for a moment, realizing she had never washed her hair before, and chuckled, "Ahem, my big one is used for something else."
"Yes, yes, you go ahead and get busy!" Wu Zhuxiang and the others replied with smiles. Yu Banxia felt that something was not right, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
She left the yard looking bewildered, and then the sound of her family laughing came from the kitchen.
Yu Banxia scratched her head, and it took her a while to come to her senses: "Mom and the others are so mean, they actually think I'm a kitchen idiot, humph..."
Yu Mangui happened to hear this and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Yu Banxia felt a warmth in her heart. It's a good thing that her family is harmonious and warm, isn't it?
"Grandma, good morning, where's my uncle?" Wu was feeding Xia Lian in the yard when she saw Yu Banxia coming over, and her smile deepened.
"Auntie," Xia Lian called out obediently.
Yu Banxia walked over, patted her little head, and exclaimed "Hey!"
She touched her little cloth bag and pulled out a handful of milk candies wrapped in oil paper. Before her rebirth, she had a good friend who made handmade snacks and was also a Hanfu enthusiast who loved to package her things in an ancient style.
This has made things convenient for her now.
"Auntie, what's this?" Xia Lian asked, holding the candy in her small hand.
"This is milk candy, it's delicious. It was given to your aunt by a very important person. You can have all of these, and share them with your brothers later."
Yu Banxia grabbed some more and put them in the small pocket in front of her clothes. Xia Lian clapped her hands happily and didn't forget to thank her.
"Grandma, please keep an eye on her and don't let her eat too much sugar, it's bad for her teeth. Give her some water to rinse her mouth after she finishes eating."
Wu nodded and said, "Your uncle is in the back. He got that wheelchair you wanted last night."
“Okay, I’ll go take a look.” Yu Banxia was overjoyed.
"Wait a minute, the things are right there, they won't run away," Wu quickly warned.
"Hey." Yu Banxia, afraid that she would worry, had already arrived and her voice could be heard.
When Yu Hongyu saw her come in, he didn't look up; he was checking whether the tung oil on the wheelchair had dried.
"Xiaxia, take a look, is this what you wanted?"
"Yes, that's it. Uncle, is it dry yet?" Yu Banxia asked.
Yu Hongyu laughed and said, "Let's do it, let's do it."
Yu Banxia sat down, and Yu Hongyu pushed the wheelchair, which was surprisingly easy and not cumbersome at all.
"This thing is so effortless." Yu Hongyu was surprised; he hadn't expected the finished product to be so amazing.
Yu Banxia gave Yu Hongyu a thumbs up: "Uncle, you're awesome."
She then checked the seating area and asked Yu Hongyu to design a small mechanism: by rotating the four supporting wooden pieces horizontally, an opening would be revealed in the seating area, making it convenient to use the restroom.
"Your blueprints are really good. Today I'll try out the round table and folding round table you mentioned. I'm sure everyone will be scrambling to buy them as soon as they're released."
"Xiaxia, how much do you think I should order per ticket?"
"One tael of silver. Any carpenter can make this round table at a glance and will be able to replicate it quickly. What we need is innovation."
"This wheelchair is not so easy to imitate. If someone wants one, you can order it for five taels of silver. It can be used not only by the disabled but also by the frail elderly."
Yu Banxia spoke directly to her uncle, Yu Hongyu, who nodded and said, "You mean, we should price it higher from the start and use better materials to make it, since it's easy to imitate?"
“Yes.” Yu Banxia nodded.
"Okay, I'll do as you say," Yu Hongyu said with a smile.
Yu Banxia pushed the wheelchair out the door and said goodbye to Yu Hongyu.
Yu Mangui had already harnessed the donkey cart and was waiting at the door. When he saw her pushing a chair out, he was a little surprised at first, but then he quickly went forward to take it.
"Is this the wheelchair you asked your uncle to get?" Yu Mangui asked as he pushed the wheelchair onto the cart.
Yu Hongyu also ran out, carrying a rope.
"Let's fix it!"
“It needs to be secured, and it’s good that my uncle is here to lend a hand.” Yu Banxia nodded quickly, and Yu Hongyu asked her to stand aside. He and Yu Mangui then secured the wheelchair firmly to the cart.
Yu Mangui pushed the wheelchair again and, seeing that it was securely fastened, asked Yu Banxia.
"Little sister, where are we going?"
"Go to town and find the rich man." Yu Banxia's words startled the uncle and nephew. Yu Hongyu hadn't expected her to go today, so he quickly said he would go too.
She then ran back to her room to change her clothes before running out again.
Seeing his insistence, Yu Banxia brought him along as well.
On the way, Yu Hongyu asked, "Do you really think this wheelchair can make the wealthy man give up his idea of taking Yueyue as a concubine?"
"Yes, it definitely can." Yu Banxia nodded confidently.
Seeing this, Yu Hongyu didn't ask any more questions. Yu Banxia started talking about other things, including waterwheels.
Upon hearing this, Yu Hongyu's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked what it was used for. When he heard that the waterwheel could reduce the effort required to irrigate the fields, his eyes shone even brighter.
"Xiaxia, can you draw the blueprints for this waterwheel?"
"Yes, I will draw it for my uncle when I get back. But you must keep the drawing safe. Once you are familiar with it, burn it."
"So that it doesn't get stolen by someone with ulterior motives," Yu Banxia instructed Yu Hongwen.
The latter quickly said that he understood.
Donkey carts are fast; before we knew it, we had arrived at the rich man's house.
Yu Banxia went straight up and knocked on the door. Soon a servant opened the door, looked her up and down, and asked, "Miss, who are you looking for?"
"Please inform him that I am the daughter of Yu Tongsheng from Anping Village. I have come to discuss something with your master."
Yu Banxia replied crisply.
The servant glanced at her, then at Yu Hongyu and his nephew, and then nodded.
