The wicked mother-in-law doesn't try to whitewash herself; she only abuses her awful children.

Chapter 788 Training at the Pig Farm
Tong Huaqiong smiled.

She asked Gu Taohua to bring an account book for Lu Yin'er to do the accounting.

Since she's applying for the job, she has to be interviewed.

Lu Yin'er took the ledger, picked up the abacus on the table, and started calculating rapidly.

And you know what? When Lu Yin'er is immersed in her work, she doesn't look frail at all; she's very capable and confident.

"It's all calculated."

Lu Yin'er smiled and patted the ledger.

Tell Tong Huaqiong that there are two mistakes in this ledger.

"Are you sure?" Tong Huaqiong asked.

Lu Yin'er raised her head and said, "I am absolutely not wrong."

Lu Yin'er's pointed little face was full of pride.

Tong Huaqiong said, "Your accounting skills have passed."

Lu Yin'er smiled and asked excitedly, "Can I help Aunt Tong with her work now?"

Tong Huaqiong sighed and said, "Being able to do accounting is only the first step. It's good that you're willing to come out and earn money, but I don't know if your mother-in-law and Gao Ming are willing for you to come out. You should know how many men would rather have their women confined at home than let them go out and do business. Even families in the village who can't make ends meet would rather sell their daughters to wealthy families as slaves than have their daughters learn a trade in a shop."

“You only see that we make money by doing business, but you don’t see the pressure of gossip we have to endure. If your mother-in-law and Gao Ming are willing for you to come out, and if you can withstand the gossip from outsiders, our shop welcomes you.”

Based on the test just now, Lu Yin'er is indeed a rare talent when it comes to accounting.

But as Tong Huaqiong said, doing this job requires not only skills, but also strong resilience and the support of family members.

Unlike the Luo family in Qinghewan, Gao Ming and Bai Shi did not mistreat their daughters-in-law like Luo Fugui and Luo Pozi. She could forcefully make Chunni and Cao Shi work at the pig farm.

She couldn't possibly encourage Lu Yin'er to get a divorce just because Gao Ming and Bai Shi objected, could she?

Lu Yin'er said with a smile, "Aunt Tong, I know all of this. I already discussed it with my husband and mother-in-law before I came, and they both said they would listen to me."

In fact, Gao Ming and Bai Shi were against her going to work at Tong Huaqiong's shop.

It's not that I don't want Lu Yin'er to show her face in public, but I feel that Lu Yin'er hasn't enjoyed a few days of happiness since marrying Gao Ming, and instead has to go out to earn money to support the family.

The mother and son felt sorry for Lu Yin'er.

Lu Yin'er patiently explained that Gu Taohua was about the same age as her and was able to run a large shop and make money. Even the wife of the Grandson Master ran a pig farm. She felt that she was no worse than them and wanted to show her talents and make money at the same time.

While Gao Ming hesitated, Bai made the final decision and agreed.

Bai was impressed by Gu Taohua's ability to make money by running such a large shop.

She thought of herself; her husband had died in battle, and she and Gao Ming were left as orphans and widows. It was thanks to the help of Old Madam Min and the mighty General that Gao Ming was able to grow up.

Both of them were widows. If she were like Tong Huaqiong, even if she set up a small food stall on the street, she wouldn't have had to go through so many hardships.

But she just couldn't bring herself to admit it.

It's a good thing that her daughter-in-law is now willing to go with Tong Huaqiong to make money.

Since Lu Yin'er expressed her family's support, Tong Huaqiong had nothing to worry about.

Tong Huaqiong said, "My weaving workshop is in preparation. You can come and help me manage it. However, you have no business experience before. You can first go to Peach Blossom Dessert and Jufulai to learn from the sisters Peach Blossom and White Frost. You can rotate through every position so that you can understand what it's like to run a business and manage a shop."

Lu Yin'er's eyes lit up, and she rubbed her hands excitedly, saying, "Then I'll call you Boss from now on, I'll call you Young Boss Peach Blossom."

And so they began to get to work. "Let me make this clear from the start: if you can't handle the hardship or don't respect the shop's management, I won't use you anymore," Tong Huaqiong said.

Lu Yin'er said, "I understand. Don't worry, Aunt Tong, I can do any dirty or hard work."

Even a head maid in the household needs to be assessed before she can be promoted, let alone someone like her who is being taken on a business trip.

Tong Pandi chimed in, "Don't be so sure of yourself. If you're going to rotate shifts at the shop, won't my pig farm also get a turn?"

Most people would avoid a pig farm at the first sign of trouble, but Lu Yin'er said, "So be it. Sister Pandi, don't underestimate me. I lived in the village until I was twelve, and I've been cutting pig feed, feeding pigs, and cleaning pigsties since I was a child."

Tong Pandi said, "My pig farm just released over a hundred piglets and we need help. We need to hire workers and buy pig feed and corn. Why don't you come and help raise the pigs first?"

Tong Pandi is worried because the pig farm is currently in dire need of manpower.

Jufulai and Peach Blossom Desserts are already well-established businesses.

Pig farms are just starting out, but if you really want to get some training, a pig farm is the best place to do so.

Lu Yin'er nodded and said, "Okay. Then I'll start with the pig farm."

Pig farms are good.

Lu Yin'er plans to rent a shop so her parents can open a butcher shop.

She heard that the pork from the pigs raised by Tong Huaqiong in Ningcheng was not gamey but had a unique fragrance, and that pork from any butcher shop that cooperated with Tong Huaqiong's pig farm was in short supply.

Wouldn't her parents' butcher shop be booming if they seized the opportunity?

Lu Yin'er and Tong Pandi agreed on the time to start work, and Tong Huaqiong invited her to stay for dinner. In the evening, Gao Ming personally came to pick her up and take her home.

"Husband, Aunt Tong has promised that I will soon be able to learn how to do business. I'm just starting out, so I definitely can't be put in charge of the shop right away. I'll go to the pig farm with Sister Pandi to gain experience first, and after that, I'll go to Peach Blossom Dessert and Jufulai. Once I'm completely familiar with it, I'll go to the weaving workshop to be the manager." Lu Yin'er said excitedly to Gao Ming on the way back.

"Pig farm?"

His wife went to raise pigs?

Seeing his wife's excited expression, Gao Ming felt embarrassed to object.

Lu Yin'er said, "Yes, so what if it's a pig farm? I've raised pigs before when I was little. Sister Pandi is the Grandson's teacher's wife, and she raises pigs, so why can't I? Don't underestimate raising pigs, there's a lot to learn about it."

Gao Ming: "."

What magic does Aunt Tong possess? Her wife only went there once, and she immediately started making money.

The next day, the Lin family sent Tong Huaqiong an invitation to Miss Lin's wedding banquet.

Miss Lin is getting married.

Two marriages that were the center of gossip in Shengjing before the New Year were widely discussed: one was the marriage of the eldest daughter of the Lin family, and the other was the marriage of Princess Mingyue.

One is a daughter of a prominent family, the other is a royal princess.

However, they all married down, and the reasons for this are inevitably subject to speculation.

There are no secrets in this world; many people know the inside story.

For Tong Huaqiong, the fact that the marriage between these two people did not follow the trajectory of her previous life was a great blessing for her and her two sons.

Gu Jingzhe and Princess Mingyue had crossed paths, but Gu Dashu had never met Miss Lianlin.

Tong Huaqiong clutched the invitation, indicating that she would definitely participate.

Tong Huaqiong insisted on attending the event simply because the Lin family entrusted Jufulai with the preparation of Miss Lin's dowry.
