Chapter 49: Job Hunting Beyond the Fence

In just two days, the news about Qi Mansion spread throughout Shenjia Village.

It is said that Mr. Qi was shocked to learn the truth about Shen Qingyao's substitutionary marriage, and that he had poisoned his own sister to succeed. He was heartbroken and sent Shen Qingyao to his family temple to practice cultivation.

Mr. Qi said that the reason why the Qi family refused to get rid of Shen Qingyao was because she had already given birth to a child.

As the accomplices in this matter, the uncle's family forced Shen Qingyao to get them in to work, but now they were kicked out in disgrace because the matter was exposed.

And before they were kicked out, they were searched, which meant that they were penniless.

It is said that Mr. Qi went to Qian's house in Fucheng that day to apologize.

Shen Qingyu listened to all this as a story.

Shen Qingyao should be lucky that the single and stupid woman back then was not him.

Otherwise, the grass on Shen Qingyao's grave would probably be one meter deep.

Shen Qingyu was in a happy mood.

Because bean sprouts are so good at regulating the stomach and intestines, the supply exceeds demand and the price has risen to one hundred yuan per catty.

Guiyun Tower has become the daily check-in place for many wealthy families in the city, and business has increased by more than 20%.

The bean sprout business now earns more than 20 taels of silver every day. One pound of soybeans can produce 12 jins of bean sprouts. More than 200 jins of bean sprouts are brought to Fucheng a day. Excluding the cost of hiring people and buying soybeans, we can earn more than 20 taels of silver a day.

For this income, Shen Qingyu only needs to pay: Lingquan water.

Because the stewed vegetables have a special taste and there is no other shop, the business is also very good. In Fucheng and the dock shop, the daily income is about forty taels of silver.

What Shen Qingyu has to do every day is to put various ground medicinal powders into muslin bags when it is time to add brine, throw them into the pot, boil the brine and then take it back.

Xiao Taohua and Liu Cuixi are busy cleaning the raw materials for braised vegetables and braised meat.

In comparison, glutinous rice is nothing now. It is just a special feature, and it can still make a profit of about three taels of silver every day.

After a month of this, the income was nearly two thousand taels of silver!

What if it’s one year…

Many official families in the capital may not have such an income.

Not counting the newly opened Lai Fu Ji Dim Sum Shop, the dividends it can provide to shareholders are also considerable.

In a rural place like this, with such an incredible income, how could life be difficult?

Having money means improving your life, such as building a house.

The blue-brick and large-tiled houses were once again built vigorously.

Only this time, Shen Qingyu left everything to others.

These people who were invited to stay at home only did the work originally arranged and did not interfere with the repairs of the house.

Two other women were hired from the village to cook, while the men repaired the house under the leadership of the old mason.

Shen Qingyu specifically asked Uncle Li Zheng to help select these people. For this purpose, he gave Uncle Li Zheng two pounds of pork belly and a piece of dark blue muslin.

And Shen Qingyu also entrusted Uncle Li Zheng: "In the future, whenever I need to hire someone here, please check it. They must have good character, clean hands and feet, and be neat in doing things."

Li Zheng has gained trust, gained benefits, and gained favors in front of the villagers, so of course he is willing to do so.

So I happily helped and picked a man from the village who was neat and tidy to help.

Shen Qingyu is responsible for: monitoring the progress and going to town to purchase various ingredients.

The uncle and auntie whose house has a skylight open at home are heartbroken when they hear the bustling construction going on here!

They have nothing now.

The house is about to collapse, and there is no rice for cooking.

I don't have the dignity to go out and I can't hold my head up.

The uncle and his wife wanted to do something, but they offended Shen Qingyu...

This morning, as soon as Liu Cuixi walked from her home to the door of Shen Qingyu's house, she saw a man peeping in from outside the yard.

"Who is it!" Liu Cuixi shouted.

The man was startled, turned around and saw Liu Cuixi, and immediately approached her: "She is Changshou's wife, right? I am your first cousin! Don't you recognize me?"

Liu Cuixi took a closer look and recognized it. Isn't this the uncle's son Shen Yusong?

At first, I went to Qi Mansion with my uncle and auntie to work, but now I was driven back together.

"What are you doing here?"

Liu Cuixi has not forgotten that this family harmed Shen Qingyu in the first place.

Shen Yusong laughed dryly: "It's almost impossible to open the fire at home. I don't think it's very busy here, so I came here to see if I can find something to do."

"You have done a good job in town, why are you doing plastering work?" Liu Cuixi deliberately poked his sore spot.

Shen Yusong was cheeky: "It's not because my parents were stupid, and they even drove me back! The merchants in the town were afraid that the Qi family would find trouble, so they refused to use me."

Liu Cuixi was surprised: "What do you mean, you are innocent?"

Shen Yusong spread his hands and looked innocent: "That's not the case! I don't know anything!"

Seeing Liu Cuixi's relaxed look, Shen Yusong hurriedly beat the snake and followed it with the stick: "Long-lived wife, can you help me ask Brother Tietou and ask me to do something? I will definitely work hard! I will never be lazy."

Liu Cuixi looked him up and down: "I can ask Qingyu for you."

Shen Yusong immediately put his hands together and bowed, with a look of gratitude: "Thank you so much! Thank you so much..."

Liu Cuixi entered the courtyard and found Shen Qingyu. Shen Qingyu, whose body had been conditioned by the spiritual spring water, had excellent hearing and could already hear everything.

"I don't allow him to enter my yard."

Liu Cuixi's eyes widened with a gossipy look on her face: "What? Did he lie? He also harmed you in the first place?"

Shen Qingyu pouted: "I don't know. But in this matter, he got a benefit. He entered the Qi Mansion and worked as a servant for several years."

"Anyone who gets benefits cannot be called innocent."

Liu Cuixi thought about it, that was really what happened, so she nodded: "I understand, then I'll tell him right now."

Shen Yusong was waiting outside eagerly. When he heard Liu Cuixi say that he was no longer needed, he immediately became excited.

"Sister Qingyu! Sister Qingyu! I really don't know anything! It's all done by my parents, and I didn't participate..."

He looked like he had been wronged.

"Woof woof woof!" the big yellow dog roared impatiently.

Shen Qingyu was annoyed that his loud voice was disturbing the family, so he walked out of the kitchen and yelled: "Stop making noise!"

The big yellow dog kept silent: "..."

Shen Yusong shut up: "..."

Shen Qingyu walked to the fence and looked at Shen Yusong outside the yard: "You say you are innocent?"

Shen Yusong nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Yes, sister Qingyu, I really don't know anything..."

Shen Qingyu interrupted him: "Then you earned money, will you feed your parents?"

Shen Yusong: "..."

At this time, some women and men from the village had come to work, and he could not openly say that he would starve his parents to death after making money.

Then he is no longer a human being and can be driven out of the village directly.

"Why should I ask you to make money in my house and support the person who wanted to kill me in the first place?"

"If you were me, could you do it?"

When the ladies and gentlemen heard this, they nodded one after another.

"Yes! Your parents have to support you."

"But you can't come here to do it, doesn't Qingyu feel uncomfortable?"

"If it were me, I would be polite if I didn't let the dog bite you."

As if he understood this sentence, the big yellow dog started beating excitedly: "Woof woof woof..."

The iron dog chain was pulled loudly, and suddenly someone shouted: "Ouch, the dog chain is loose!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the big yellow dog flew towards the door of the yard like a bolt of lightning.

Shen Yusong was so frightened that he ran away!

Are there any monthly passes?
