A large amount of money was piled up in front of me, so shining that people could hardly open their eyes. Hui Niang quickly asked several maids to start and move the money upstairs in batches.

After Yi Qi gave up, Hui Niang announced that she would add a few more dishes for supper, and asked Xiu'er to go to the printing workshop to pass the message. The workshop would continue to start construction at the end of the year, and would not stop until after the 25th, and the construction would be restarted on the fifth day of the Chinese New Year. Another person would be sent to inform the Ninghua workshop.

There is an unwritten rule in the printing workshop, and the union will receive double the wages compared to usual at the end of the year and the first month of the year. In this way, both male and female workers will be happy.

After dinner, Hui Niang and Zhou sat down to check the accounts. Zhou suddenly felt a little worried: "If you are still so busy at the end of the year, you may not have time to go back to Ninghua for the New Year."

Hui Niang thought about it and asked, "Sister wants to go back?"

Zhou shook his head: "In the past, I always felt that everyone was harmonious and harmonious. It was a life for gods to live. But people all have selfish intentions. No matter whether the years are good or not, they always care about their own house. Now your brother-in-law and I send back the money earned from my sister's work every month. If there were no other items, I wouldn't even have the money to buy a piece of clothing for Xiaolang!"

"After this, I don't feel that I owe anything to my family, and I feel much less at home."

Hui Niang smiled slightly: "My sister may have thought too much, I said before, "I don't know how to cherish your possessions, and my son wants to support her but his parents are not waiting for her. Now, I think, if there are elderly people in the family, I will be able to respect me, how good would it be?" At this point, Hui Niang fell into deep thought.

She and her husband came to Ninghua from afar and depended on each other, but first there was a bad news that their parents died, and soon even their husband was gone. Fortunately, with Lu Xier, the daughter, she had some hope in her life.

Zhou sighed and did not argue with Hui Niang.

It’s not that she has no feelings for the Shen family. She is really sincere, but whether it is the old lady Li or her brothers and sisters-in-law, they are very mean to her. In addition, even Shen Mingwen, a scholar who was once unattainable in her eyes, has a quarrel with Li, and she feels that the family is not yet married.

On the contrary, the relationship between her and Hui Niang is getting better and better, and the two families are as close as Yi's family.

"When I go back, I will discuss with the unconscienced ones at home. Otherwise, when I go back at the end of the year, I will at least let this unconscienced ones know what filial piety is."

Zhou glanced at Shen Xi, who was bored and eating fried beans next to him.

When Shen Xiyi heard this, he almost spit out the beans in his mouth and protested dissatisfiedly: "Mom, it's fine if you scold your father, when will I become a child without conscience? I am so filial to you, your father and grandmother on weekdays."

"Pooh!"

Zhou spat and cursed, "I often make me angry, I will not do anything to make you a godmother, and I will say filial piety? Don't grow up like your father and have no conscience. Humph, you should be honest, otherwise I will make the decision for Dai'er."

Lin Dai was a little puzzled: "Mom, why do you want to make the decision for me?"

Zhou Shiyi didn't know how to answer, so she had to say perfunctory: "It's this kid who is flirting with others outside and provokes those unruly women. Come back and tell your mother that even if she is old, she will still beat him to cry and call him mom."

When Lin Dai heard this, she couldn't help but look at Lu Xier who was also eating fried beans beans beside her. Her face looked a little sad, as if she was saying, "Here, there is someone here, mom, please make the decision for me."

Chen Xi's eyes were sharp-eyed. Before Zhou discovered the clue, he quickly grabbed a loli with his hand and pulled him to the side: "Let's go, I'll tell you a story."

Zhou was stunned when he heard this and then looked over.

Chen Xi had just pulled Lin Dai and Lu Xier to sit down, and several maids had surrounded him, staring at him with eager eyes and preparing to listen to the story. Zhou couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "You little boy, you are so lucky to be so feminine when you are young, and you don't know what you will become when you grow up."

Hui Niang didn't know what she thought of, her pretty face turned red just a few days ago, and she had accidentally expressed almost the same emotion.

By the end of the year, the two families became more and more busy, and the pharmacy and printing workshops were booming. The Chamber of Commerce had a lot of things by the end of the year, so they didn't even have time to purchase New Year's goods.

On the morning of the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, the door of the pharmacy shop had just opened. Hui Niang was about to go to the Chamber of Commerce’s main hall to take a look. Chen Xi’s aunt Yang Shen brought her son Yang Wen to visit.

Soon, Yang Shenshi went upstairs with Hui Niang and Zhou to discuss things. When Chen Xi saw it, he secretly speculated that it was about the end of the year, Yang's Pharmaceutical Store sorted out the accounts and took the details of the income and expenditure of Hui Niang in the past few months after she invested in Yang's Pharmaceutical Store to check, and then distributed the profits.

Yang Wenzhao followed Chen Xi to the backyard and played with the two little loli.

"Little cousin, you are so awesome. I feel so pitiful to have two good friends around me. I don't even have a partner who can play." Yang Wenzhao saw Lin Dai and Lu Xier's beautiful makeup and cuteness, and was extremely envious.

Chen Xi smiled and asked, "There are not many children of the same age near your home? Besides, aren't you going to school now? Haven't you made a few friends?"

Yang Wenzhao shook his head sadly: "The students in the school bully me, and every time I get beaten to the point of bruising. Besides, we don't have such cute little sisters or little sisters there."

Chen Xi then realized that what Yang Wenzhao envied was not that he had two good friends, but that he had two little loli for him often by his side.

Chen Xi laughed silently: "If you want to play, of course you will find a boy to play with. They are very stupid and there is nothing to have fun."

Lin Dai was very dissatisfied with Chen Xi's words. Lu Xier smiled and pulled Chen Xi's arm, shook it and said, "Brother Chen Xi, you are not allowed to say bad things about others."

Unlike Shen Yuan, Shen Yuan is withdrawn and does not know how to please the opposite sex. Yang Wenzhao was born in a merchant family. He was also very slick in dealing with things. He soon started playing with two little loli, but he appeared as a little anger and was bullied by Lin Dai and Lu Xier. He was still happy.

After talking about the matter between Yang Shen and Hui Niang and Zhou, they came downstairs to take Yang Wenzhao away. Yang Wenzhao looked reluctant and wanted to stay and get up with Chen Xi three every day. Finally, he cried and shouted that his mother took her away with her ears.

Seeing that someone had walked away, Chen Xi returned to the medicine shop and came to the counter to listen to Hui Niang chatting with Zhou, wanting to know the business conditions of Yang's medicine shop.

When Hui Niang saw Chen Xi, she mentioned intentionally or unintentionally: "Sister, don't say that we have just started making medicine here and we have not made much money, but the business at Yang's Pharmaceutical Store is very good."

Zhou sighed: "They are a century-old brand that cannot be compared. But no matter how good their business is, they will give us 60% of the profits. In the end, we make a lot of money."

Hui Niang's face became a little solemn: "Sister, haven't you heard that the business of Yang's Pharmaceutical Store has improved greatly in the past few months. She has made a lot of profits. She is a little dissatisfied with our constraints. She wants to pay off the money and take back the contract she signed before."

When Chen Xi heard this, he immediately understood.

The reason why Yang Shen’s side sent him to the Yang family was that they felt that everyone was easy to talk to, so they came to find out the verge of the whim and saw if Hui Niang could withdraw her shares.

This was also what Chen Xi had expected at the beginning.

At the beginning, Yang's Pharmaceutical Store had a bad business, mainly because the prices of medicinal materials in various places rose rapidly. Yang's Pharmaceutical Store did not accumulate enough cheap medicinal materials due to capital flow problems, and it was unable to compete with other pharmacies. In addition, the foreign debts owed before made the pharmacies difficult.

However, after Hui Niang invested in the shares, the business model of Yang's Pharmaceutical Store was improved, from selling scattered medicinal materials to selling finished medicines, and the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce made vicious competition between the pharmacies no longer exist. Yang's Pharmaceutical Store's business improved and gradually began to make profits. Moreover, the business became more and more prosperous. Although I dare not say that I made money every day, I had no problem earning 2 taels of silver every day.
