Reborn as a devoted sister-in-law, she leads the entire village to prosperity.

Chapter 94: Can't even give me a penny, are you playing moral blackmail?

Yu Banxia nodded: "Yes, really. I'll have my sisters aged twelve to fourteen come to my house later, and I'll teach them how to make it. I'm going to the county town tomorrow, and I'll take some with me to open up sales channels."

"Xiaxia, you're still young. You don't need to think about the village in everything. You should rest when you need to." A group of aunts and sisters-in-law couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

This girl used to be a headache for the whole village, but now she's so capable, it's really heartbreaking.

They're either immature or overly mature.

"I know what I'm doing. Thank you all for your concern, aunties and sisters-in-law. Let's go eat!" Yu Banxia smiled at them. Zhao Shi and the others exchanged glances and then left with smiles.

Yu Bantao also said softly, "What the aunties say is true. You've been working too hard lately. You should rest."

"Don't worry, don't worry. Once I've established a market in the county, I'll naturally take a good rest. I'll stay home every day then, so please don't mind."

“How could we possibly dislike it?” the Yu sisters said at the same time.

Yu Banxia smiled and said, "That's good. Sister, you guys go eat first. I had breakfast late today and ate so many snacks when I got back, so I'm not hungry yet. Just bring me some back later."

"Okay, I'll go get you one."

Because the family is busy making pastries, the Yu family is now eating lunch together in a large pot.

After everyone left, Yu Banxia continued working on her velvet flowers.

"Excuse me, is this the Yu family's residence?" A little girl stood timidly in front of the courtyard gate, cautiously peering inside.

Yu Banxia looked up at her; her hair was dry and yellow, and she was thin with a sallow complexion.

She was wearing coarse cloth clothes patched up many times. When she saw Yu Banxia looking at her, she nervously tugged at the hem of her clothes and looked at Yu Banxia timidly.

"Who are you looking for?" Yu Banxia stood up and asked her gently.

The little girl still looked at her timidly, and Yu Banxia waited quietly. After a while, the little girl finally spoke softly.

"I...I've come to find the Yu family."

“I am a member of the Yu family. Just tell me what you want to do, and I can make the decision.” Yu Banxia walked to the gate of the courtyard, and the little girl took a few steps back in fright.

Seeing that she meant no harm, he whispered, "Yes, that's how it is. My parents made me come to the Yu family to sell myself. I'm the eldest in the family, and we have too many daughters to support."

"My parents said that the Yu family is now wealthy and should be willing to take me as a maid. Please, young lady, take me in!"

As she spoke, she knelt down.

Yu Banxia could see clearly from the doorway that the girl looked flustered, but that wasn't the case at all.

Her timid eyes betrayed a hidden calculation; she glanced towards the kitchen every now and then, and even raised her voice considerably.

The fear is that they want to attract attention and then achieve their own goals.

"Oh, Xia girl, who is this? Why is she kneeling in front of your gate?" Yu Banxia had already seen Zhao Shi and the others return. Zhao Shi saw the little girl kneeling in front of the gate.

It was purely out of curiosity.

But that's not how they see it. Yu Banxia could see it clearly. After Aunt Zhao said those words, the little girl's eyes lit up a bit.

"Please, young lady, my family really can't afford to raise so many children. If you don't take me in, my father will definitely beat me to death."

The little girl said pitifully, thinking to herself, "So many people are watching. If you dare to reject me, I will definitely ruin your reputation and make you unable to live a normal life."

Unfortunately, she miscalculated; Yu Banxia lacked morality.

Yu Banxia looked at her with amusement, but before she could speak, Zhao Shi said, "Oh dear, little girl, are you trying to force our Xia girl to buy you?"

"No, I really didn't. It's just that my father told me to come out and sell myself. He definitely won't allow me to go back."

"I'm only thirteen years old, where can I go... what should I do..."

Zhao was a little confused when she saw her crying so miserably. She hadn't said anything, so who was she crying like this for?

"What's your name?" Yu Banxia asked.

The little girl looked up, her face covered in tears. When she heard Yu Banxia's question, a hint of smugness appeared in her eyes; she was someone who couldn't keep a secret.

“My name is Yang Dani, and I live in Yangjia Village,” Yang Dani replied quickly.

Yu Banxia raised an eyebrow and asked again, "How many children do you have?"

“Besides me, I have seven younger sisters and a younger brother who is only three months old,” Yang Dani answered truthfully.

Yu Banxia smiled and nodded, and the Yu Bantao sisters also returned carrying food boxes.

Seeing everyone gathered at the door, they were a little curious. They walked over and saw a little girl kneeling on the ground. The two of them didn't say anything and just watched quietly.

"There are quite a lot of people here. But I have a question, and I wonder if Miss Yang Dani could answer it for me?"

Yang Dani looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"Your parents had nine children, did I ask them to have any?" Yu Banxia didn't feel embarrassed at all saying this.

Yang Dani opened her eyes wide, then burst into tears again: "Miss Yu, I beg you, please take me in, I'll do anything."

"I can do laundry, cook, massage people's legs and backs, and even cut pig feed to feed livestock. I don't need a lot of money, just two taels of silver. My monthly salary doesn't need to be much either, just one hundred coins will do."

"Please, Miss Yu, take me in. I really can do anything."

"If I go back, my father will really beat me to death. Please, Miss Yu, save my life."

Hearing Yang Dani's pitiful words, the women watching felt a little sorry for her, but they understood Yu Banxia.

She is a kind-hearted girl; otherwise, she wouldn't have organized free clinics and helped the whole village get rich.

They must have noticed something was wrong with this little girl in front of them, which is why they targeted her like this.

The more Zhao looked at the girl, the more she felt something was off about her. It must be just as she had thought. Yu Banxia saw Zhao pondering and nodding repeatedly, and couldn't help but laugh.

This Aunt Zhao is quite interesting.

"We are just an ordinary farming family, and we don't need maids at all, so Miss Yang Dani, please go back!"

Upon hearing Yu Banxia's words, Yang Dani's eyes widened instantly, staring at her in disbelief.

“Miss Yu, I beg you, I beg you, I don’t want two taels anymore, I only need one tael of silver, and I don’t want the hundred cash monthly salary either, just give me whatever you think is appropriate.”

"I only ask that Miss Yu take me in and give me a place to shelter from the wind and rain."

"I can't give you a single penny," Yu Banxia replied directly.

Yang Dani couldn't believe it; she actually refused outright without giving any room for negotiation.

“Miss Yu, everyone says you are a great philanthropist. You hold free clinics and benefit the whole town. Why won’t you take me in and give me a place to shelter from the wind and rain?”
