After the villagers dispersed, Sang Ye specially gave his third aunt Zheng Dacheng and others a red seal of five taels of silver to thank them for their help and support for her over the past year.

Nowadays, more and more people are involved in shoemaking, so it will be very difficult to manage. If it weren’t for the efforts of my aunt, Zheng Dacheng and others, Mangye would not have been able to easily stay at home to take care of their children. After the beginning of the New Year, a group of newcomers joined in, and they would have to rely on them to manage it. The more than 20 taels of silver Mangye were willing to give it.

Aunt San refused for a few seconds before accepting it. After chatting for a while, she left happily.

There was only one family left in the room. Looking at Chunxiang, who was much wider between his eyebrows and confident face, Sang Ye smiled and said, "It seems that it is right to ask you to go to the town to manage the workshop. In just a few months, you will feel like you have become a different person."

When Chunxiang heard that her sister-in-law was praising her, she smiled embarrassedly and said seriously: "It's all for her sister-in-law. If my sister-in-law was willing to give me this opportunity, how could I live as freely and happily as I am now."

I spent several months in the workshop in the town. Although I had to be busy until very late every day to rest, I could live a good life with my own hands, not relying on men, no longer being insulted by my in-laws, and having a fulfilling life and hope. There is nothing better than this.

Sang Ye shook his head: "You are the one who is good at it, otherwise if you were a cowardly person, I would not be able to stand up even if I held her with my hands."

Without wanting to say more about this topic, seeing what Chunxiang wants to say, she changed the topic and said: "What are your plans after the beginning of the year? Do you want to continue to manage the workshop for me, or do something else by yourself?"

Upon hearing this, Chunxiang rubbed her hands slightly crampedly: "Sister-in-law, I don't have much ability. Now I want to save more money for Xiaoqiang to marry a wife and buy a decent dowry for Niu Niu. After the beginning of the New Year, I still want to continue to work in the workshop."

As she said that, she was afraid that Sang Ye would misunderstand, and then explained anxiously: "Sister-in-law, I don't want to hold the workshop in my hand, but I just want to continue to work in the workshop. I will be satisfied with earning some wages every month. If my sister-in-law handed over the workshop to someone else to take care of, I will never say anything."

Seeing that Chunxiang was so nervous, Sang Ye guessed her thoughts after a change of thought, so he explained: "Chunxiang, don't think too much. I wish you would continue to manage the workshop for me after the New Year, otherwise I would have to find someone to take over. I wouldn't feel at ease when I find someone else."

Speaking of this, she paused and felt that it was necessary to resolve the misunderstanding, so she continued: "Our workshop is open in the town, and everyone who comes to work is strangers from other places. I am afraid that you can't help you, so I asked Yue Niang to help you, not because she wants her to replace you."

One year, Yue Niang will be filial, and her marriage with Zheng Cong will be put on the agenda. It will not be appropriate to let her go to the town to manage the workshop. Whether it is to pull Chunxiang or to trust Chunxiang, Sang Ye did not want outsiders to replace her. Besides, Zhou Lan, who is already skilled in business, helped her, she was not worried that Chunxiang could not manage the workshop well.

Chunxiang is not a greedy person, but she was very happy to see Sang Ye, the sister-in-law, valued herself so much, and couldn't help but say, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, as long as I'm in one day, I will definitely help you manage the workshop. I did something wrong, you just say that I just listen to you."

Sang Ye liked Chunxiang's unscrupulous look very much, so he replied: "Then I will thank you first, but we are ugly, and if you can't do it well, I will scold you. Then don't blame me."

Chunxiang waved her hand urgently, and even said that she would not.

The sister-in-law was very happy. Meng was very pleased and thought that having such a daughter-in-law was a great blessing for their Zheng family.

After lunch, Chunxiang planned to take her children home for the New Year.

In the past few months, she has been living and living in the workshop with her two children, and she never returns to Fu home during the holidays. Fu Gui has been here a few times and said he missed his wife and children, but in fact he wanted to pick up money from Chunxiang.

Since the Fu family came to make a big fuss and was beaten back by Sang Ye and his wife, Chunxiang is no longer the same Baozi who was bullied and didn't know how to fight back. Fu Gui and others were also frightened by the force of the Zheng family and dared not bully her at will as easily as before.

Every time Fu Gui comes to ask for money, Chunxiang will bite her to death and refuse to give it to her. Fu Gui can't do anything about it. He only dares to scold her for a few harsh words and dares not make too much trouble, for fear that Zheng Lin will come back and settle the score with him. After a few times, he failed to get out half a penny from Chunxiang.

Sang Ye had heard of some of these things. When he saw Chunxiang wanted to go back, he was afraid that she would suffer a loss and advised him: "Let's stay and rest for a few days before going back. The Fu family dared not come to make trouble."

Chunxiang and Fu Gui were not separated, so Sang Ye could not persuade her to stay for the New Year, otherwise there would be something to say from the Fu family and public opinion would not be on their side.

Meng also advised: "Yes, Chunxiang, you have finally gotten free, so stay here for a few more days. Mom makes some delicious food for you three to make good use of."

Chunxiang shook her head and rejected the kindness of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law: "Mom, sister-in-law, I have been out for a few months now, and I can't argue if I don't go back. After all, Xiaoqiang and Niu Niu's surname are Fu, so I can't let outsiders talk about the brother and sister."

After hearing what she said, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had to give up.

Sang Ye thought of something, and asked Chunxiang to wait for a moment, ran back to the room by herself, and when she came over again, she held a red seal with a heavy weight in her hand: "Please take this and put a few new clothes for the two little ones. If Xiaoqiang is willing to study, you can send him to school after the New Year."

Chunxiang's face changed and she hurriedly refused: "No, sister-in-law, you gave it to me in the morning, I can't use so much."

"Obe obedient, take it!" Sang Ye stuffed Hong Feng into Chunxiang's hand without any reservation: "The one I gave in the morning is what you deserve, and this one I deserve as my aunt."

Holding the heavy red seal, Chunxiang's tears flowed down, "Big, sister-in-law, you are so kind to me, how can you repay you!"

Sang Ye reached out to wipe her tears and said with a smile: "If we change our identities, will you leave me alone? We are a family and I am willing to help you. As long as you are well and can reassure our parents, it will be the best reward for me."

Chunxiang's tears became more and more uncontrollable, and the two children hugged her thighs and started crying. Sang Ye and Meng persuaded her for a long time before the three of them stopped crying.

Chunxiang wiped her eyes and said as if she promised: "Mom, sister-in-law, I will live a good life in the future and raise my two children. I will never let myself be wronged again. Don't worry!"

Meng touched her head and said with relief: "It's good that you know. If the Fu family dares to bully you again, you will come back with the child. Neither mother nor your sister-in-law will dislike you."

Chunxiang almost cried again, and after a while, she held it back.

The Fu family was far away, so Old Man Zheng put on a ox cart and sent the three of them back. Meng was reluctant to part with his daughter and two grandchildren, and did not care about melancholy dissuasion. He hurried to the backyard and grabbed two old hens and threw them on the ox cart.

As Chunxiang and the other two left, the Zheng family became much quieter. Duohua and his brother were a little bored, so they had to fill their pockets with melon seeds and ran out to play with their friends. The fat group had fewer playmates, so they quietly took out the door while Mangye was not paying attention and ran towards the mountain.

This guy was reluctant to leave mulberry leaves, so he completely failed to release the animals for the first time. However, he was not without gains. After living alone in the mountains for so long, he seemed to fall in love with the unrestrainedness among the mountains and fields. He stayed in the mountains for a few days every now and then.

After entering for 39 days, it will not run into the mountains. Every time it goes out for fun, it will definitely come back overnight. When it comes back, it will not fail. It either bites a fat rabbit, a wild sheep or a roe deer, and it does not know how such a big guy catches up with those prey that runs fast.

After Sang Ye coaxed Tang Yuaner to fall asleep, he didn't see the fat group, nor did he care where it went. He went to the study and brought the account book and came back to the room to calculate.

The usual accounts are sorted and calculated by Hu's account. Before the wages are released in the middle of the month, they will be handed over to Mangye for verification. Last month's wages and year-end rewards have been released, and Mangye checks the accounts for the whole year.

As long as there is no problem with the monthly check, the year-end check will become much easier. Mang Ye finished accounting books, took out all the belongings and placed them on the table to count them, determined the logarithm of the number and put everything back in place.

During the whole year, she was busy with the tiger-toe shoes business, but the profit was very gratifying. Apart from the material costs and labor costs, the rest of the money was all profitable, and there were nearly 5,000 taels of silver, which was no worse than the Sang Family Flower Sauce and bitter sausage grass.

Sang Ye felt happy and leaned over to kiss her fat daughter on the red cheek while sleeping. After calming down, she estimated the benefits that would bring after the tiger-headed jacket and tiger-headed hat will be launched after the New Year.

Although the prospects are broad and the returns are considerable, Mangye is not ready to expand widely. First, he lacks effective talents and cannot manage his expansion too quickly. Second, he has limited funds and cannot spend too much money in a short period of time.

The cooperation with the Zhang family this year was quite pleasant, but it was not wise to do business and put all the eggs in one basket. Mulberry leaves had to be careful not to overturn the boat at the Zhang family.

Thinking of this, Sang Ye unconsciously thought of the man who had never returned and had no second letter. He became depressed like a deflated ball.

If he were here, he would definitely think of a good idea for himself!

Lying on the table weakly, Sang Ye felt very depressed. She was immersed in her own world and didn't even hear the door being knocked.

Until the sound of Yue Niang sounded from her ears, she suddenly raised her head and almost hit Yue Niang's chin.

"Yue Niang, why are you here? Is there something wrong at home?" Sang Ye was worried that the family would have another peach-like incident similar to that taken out by Wen, so he hurriedly asked Yue Niang.

"Sister, why did you react so much? Did I scare you?" Yue Niang was embarrassed. She was also scared just now.

Yueyueniang stayed in the workshop in the town and didn't know the big thing about Sang Jiasheng. When she came back two days ago, no one at home deliberately mentioned it in front of her. She still doesn't know the truth.

Seeing Yue Niang's smiling face, Sang Ye knew that he had thought it was a mess and smiled and said, "No, I wasn't scared, but you came over at this time, and I thought there was something going on at home."

Yue Niang shook her head and explained her purpose: "There is nothing at home, I'm going to kill the New Year pig tomorrow. My mother asked me to come over and ask you to eat pig-killing rice."

When I heard the word "pig slaughtering rice", the mulberry leaves drooled and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I'll go there early tomorrow morning. If I go late, please let my mother keep the pig's blood and let us feed the blood sausage."

Yue Niang covered her mouth and smiled: "Even if you don't say it, your godmother will keep it waiting for you to make blood sausages."

As half a foodie, Sang Ye didn't take Yue Niang's teasing to heart. She pulled Yue Niang to the bed and sat down, and said softly: "Since you went to the town, we sisters have rarely talked to each other. You can stay here today, let's talk well, and go back together tomorrow."

Yue Niang also wanted to talk to her elder sister, and she agreed without hesitation after hearing this.

What Sang Ye cares about most is Yue Niang's lifelong event. After chatting for a while, the topic was shifted to this point: "In less than a year, you will be filial. That boy Zheng Cong has been waiting for you for more than a year. You should have a result in your heart, right?"

Even though his lifelong event was mentioned several times, Yue Niang was still a little unwilling to let go and said shyly: "The parents' orders and matchmakers' words are naturally decided by the godfather and godmother."

When Sang Ye heard this, he didn't know that the little girl was interested in Zheng Cong's stupid wood, so he couldn't help but make fun of him: "Oh, who said he wouldn't get married before and would have to accompany his parents for the rest of his life? Tsk tsk, how long has it been? He changed his mind when he said he changed his mind!"

Yue Niang blushed so hard that she couldn't see her. She said embarrassedly: "Sister, you, if you laugh at me, I will ignore you."

The little girl was so cute that she was so funny. Sang Ye was so playful. She stretched out her index finger and raised Yue Niang's small chin. She raised her eyebrows and said with a lewd look: "Niuer, what's the good thing about Zheng Cong's stupid wood? Why not follow me, and promise you to wear gold and silver, eat delicious food and drink spicy food."

Yue Niang was speechless, knowing that the more she avoided, the more she could play the older she was, so she confessed her feelings directly: "Uncle, the little girl already has something to do, that person is what you said about Daemu. You, just give up!"

Sang Ye didn't expect that his girl would admit it so readily that she couldn't continue to perform the show. She took her hand and asked seriously: "Are you talking about it true? Is it sure that it's that stupid wood?"

Yue Niang did not hide or avoid, and looked at Sang Ye and nodded solemnly: "Yes, he is the one I want to marry in this life. Just wait for filial piety to let my godmother tell the Zheng family."

Sang Ye opened his mouth, trying to say something, but he felt that everything he said was unnecessary. After a while, he patted Yue Niang on the shoulder and said in a gentle voice: "It's good that you decide. Zheng Cong is indeed a good man. If you marry him, I won't worry."

She is the wife of the Zheng family and she is the same ancestor as Zheng Cong. Yue Niang married Zheng Cong, and the two families are considered to be more kinship. With her watching from the side, Yue Niang will definitely not suffer any loss.

The two sisters talked for a while, and it was not until Tang Yuaner woke up with a humming whisper that they stopped talking and turned to tease Tang Yuaner.

Tangyuan'er's skin is good, it looks pink and tender, and her facial features are beautiful, and she is not much ugly when she grows up. Yue Niang hugged Tangyuan, and the more she looked at it, she became more and more happy. She even said it accidentally, even if she wanted to give birth to a baby like Tangyuan in the future, it made Mangye make fun of it again.

On this day, Yue Niang didn't go back, and she lay on the same bed with Sang Ye at night.

Mang Ye wanted to change the diapers to feed Tangyuaner at night, so he slept on the outside, Yue Niang slept on the inside, and the fragrant soft dumplings fell between the two.

Yue Niang couldn't control her hands and mouth, and from time to time she kissed Tang Yuaner's little face or pinched her little hand, which made Tang Yuaner hummed several times in her sleep, and almost opened her mouth and cried loudly.

The sisters talked until very late before falling asleep, and they got up late the next day. When they hurriedly packed up and returned to Sang's house with Tangyuan, the fat pig's hair had been shaved. Sang was holding a sharp knife to cut the pig into a caesarean opening.

When slaughtering a pig, it is terrifying to get a white knife into the red knife, and it is very eye-catching when it is cut open and cut.

Mang Ye held Tangyuan'er and stretched his neck to look at it. He saw a thick fat meat at the cut surface at a glance. He said to Mu, "Mom, this pig is so well raised. You can catch a few more piglets next year and just open a pig farm."

Mu thought about it and unexpectedly felt that this idea was good, so he said, "Our old house is still there, so we can keep pigs in the old house. We don't raise more, just raise a dozen people and eat them by ourselves."

Seeing that my mother came to the real world, Mangye followed her with an idea: "Then raise ten first, and then plant pig grass on the few pieces of land not far from home that cannot be grown on food. You don't have to worry about the pig's food that doesn't have food. It's also convenient to cut pig grass."
