The Transmigrated Farm Girl's Journey to Wealth

There are two more pieces in the basket, which are meant to be given to customers who buy liangpi (cold skin noodles) for tasting today, to warm them up first.

"Liangpi (cold skin noodles), refreshing and spicy liangpi! Herbal tea, selling herbal tea!"

"Boss, do you still have herbal tea today? Give me a bowl."

"Alright, it's hot and you'll get thirsty easily. This herbal tea of ​​mine will definitely cool you down to your core."

Fearing they would discover the raw materials, she wrapped the mint and cucumber in gauze and didn't add brown sugar, mainly because sugar is too expensive. If she added too little, she wouldn't be able to taste the flavor, and if she added too much, she would be selling it for nothing.

"Everyone come and try this new food, jelly noodles. We'll be setting up our stall tomorrow, so come buy some if you like! Bring your own bowl so you can take a piece home and mix it yourself as a side dish."

"What is this? I've never seen anything like it before!"

"Liangfen tastes different from liangpi, try it!"

"Give me one."

"I'll try too!"

"Give me a bowl of herbal tea."

"Boss, one bowl of cold skin noodles, please."

"The jelly is delicious."

“It’s soft, my dad should like it.”

"Boss, why is your herbal tea so cold?" After drinking a bowl, my heart felt cool.

"Isn't herbal tea supposed to be cold?"

"This tea is really invigorating!"

"..."

Today, I made 20 extra sheets of liangpi (cold skin noodles), and closed up shop almost an hour later than usual. They each made a portion of liangpi to put on a mat.

"After we finish harvesting, we'll go buy soybeans and flour."

"Xiao Ning, we can't make that many cold noodles."

"Brother Feng, I'm thinking of asking my mom to come and help make it. What do you think?" We don't need to add anyone yet for the cold noodles.

"mother in law?"

“Well, there’s not much work in the fields right now. I heard from Mom that Dad has been more diligent, so she’s had a lot more free time. So, I was thinking of having her help us make cold noodles, and we’ll pay her for it. You know, my dad is unreliable. He’s squandered all the money we have.”

His father-in-law was indeed unreliable. It was precisely because he was unreliable that his wife was able to marry into his family.

How much should I pay my mother-in-law per day?

"What do you think?"

What could she say? She could just pass the buck back and see how he treated her family.

Song Feng thought about it seriously, "We only added staff because the restaurant increased its orders. The restaurant makes 200 cold noodles a day, which is 150 coins in profit. Of course, my mother-in-law makes more than 200 cold noodles. How about giving her 80 coins a day?"

He gave half of the restaurant to his mother-in-law; they were all family, and he didn't mind.

This man gave half the profit from 200 cold noodles to his mother, earning her 2400 wen a month, which is equivalent to 2 liang and 4 qian. He's a good man, not stingy.

“My mother probably can’t work a day; there’s work to do around the house too.”

"I think my mother-in-law can manage if she helps out for half a day." They arrived home in the afternoon. The kitchen is so small that it's usually difficult for the three of them to turn around.

"I'll go back and find my mother."

She can do it, but she must keep the money firmly in her grasp. If it's given to her father, she might as well find someone else to do it. Anyone else could earn less than 500 coins a month.

A laborer earns only 20 coins a day, and even then, there's no work every day. Women are even cheaper.

Song Feng is subsidizing her family, so her mother needs to be clear-headed and stand up for herself.

Back home, he explained the matter to Madam Su, "That's how it should be given. Xiao Ning, go back after you've eaten and talk to your mother." If it weren't for their in-laws marrying her into the family, this family would still be struggling. Even if things get better, they shouldn't forget their in-laws.

She doesn't mind what the two kids do.

She's alive, has medicine, and her daughter-in-law is good to them both, who are like a burden to her; she's already thanked God and Buddha!

"mother!"

"Why are you here at this hour?" Zhao's heart skipped a beat. Had they had a fight?

"Mother, is Father home?"

"I was sleeping inside. I went to water the fields in the morning, and after eating when I got home, I said I was too tired to walk and lay down."

The sun must have risen in the west! Did her dad really go water the plants? I can't believe it!

“He really did go to water the plants. I set a limit on how much water he had to water each day, and he wouldn’t get any food until he finished. Lately, he’s been really making me angry.”

"Pfft!"

"Great!"

Evil people need to be tormented by other evil people; her father is just being a jerk.

"What's going on at this time?"

He pulled Zhao into the kitchen and said, “Mother, the restaurant has ordered 200 sheets of cold noodles from us every day. I’ve also started making cold jelly, and on top of that, we have over 100 sheets of cold noodles at our stall. We can’t keep up with the demand, so we’d like to ask you for help.”

"Hey, you scared me to death! I thought you two had a fight! How about I help you out? Or, I'll come over right now?" If you're not fighting, everything is negotiable.

"Mom, it's not just for a day or two, it's every day until the autumn harvest." If business is good, the autumn harvest can't be stopped either.

"Sure, your brother and your dad can do it in the fields right now."

“Mother, we feel bad if you’re willing. I’ve discussed it with my family and mother-in-law. If you come over, we’ll give you 80 coins a day. Don’t be in a hurry to refuse. You know our family’s situation; we don’t have any savings.”

I was thinking, if you and I worked together, we could save some money, Tiezhu and Gou Dan, and send them to school in town for a few years, or maybe fix up our house. There were winters when even the kang (heated brick bed) wasn't warm enough; we just had to tough it out.

"You'd better hide the money well. Don't let Dad find it. Even if he asks for it, don't give it to him, or this family will be in big trouble."

My daughter is absolutely right. He squandered almost all of the money the Wang family lost.
