Chapter 36 Fellow Villagers
Once inside the courtyard, Jiang Che unloaded the truck.
"Father, Mother," Jiang Yun Ning called out, "Xie Sheng'an has ordered another batch of soap, and I'm worried we might not be able to handle it all ourselves. Should we ask a few people to help?"
Wang Cuihua nodded: "How about we call Hehua over?"
Lotus is the village head's daughter-in-law. She is honest, hardworking, and efficient. Most importantly, she is a woman of few words.
Moreover, making soap is a business, so it's essential to maintain a good relationship with the village head; it will make things much easier for you in the village later.
Jiang Yuning frantically searched her memory for anything related to lotus flowers, only remembering that she was short and rarely went out.
He would just nod when he met someone on a normal day, and never gossip with them.
"Alright. Mother, why don't you invite Aunt Hua's daughter-in-law along too?"
She remembered that Little Bean's mother was mute.
I heard she came here as a refugee, and Aunt Hua, being kind-hearted, took her in. Later, she fell in love with Aunt Hua's son and had a child named Xiaodouzi. She was an honest person, but because she was mute, she didn't go out much.
Wang Cuihua nodded: "Okay, even though she's mute, that girl is a good one."
Jiang Yun Ning nodded: "Then Mother, you go and ask them. Thirty coins a day, see if they'll do it. Make it clear beforehand that it must be kept secret, and a written agreement is required."
"Okay." Wang Cuihua put down her work. "I'll go right away."
Jiang Yunning went inside, locked the door, and entered the space.
The wooden shelves in the cabin were already filled with tomatoes, corn, and some sweet potatoes.
Fortunately, the storage function can be stacked indefinitely, otherwise Jiang Yuning would really be in trouble.
Outside were several hens that she had secretly brought in a few days ago. They lay eggs every day, and now they have accumulated dozens.
The fish in the spring were already quite plump, and Jiang Yuning had already caught more than a dozen and placed them in the small wooden house. The space inside was still, so there was no worry about them going stale.
"Tsk, I'll go for a walk by the river later and bring out a couple of fish. I'll just say I caught them in the water." She walked out of the wooden house and looked at the several acres of land in front of her planted with sweet potatoes, feeling great.
The plants in the space grow quickly, so there are already enough sweet potato seeds.
I suddenly remembered that the four acres of land my family bought a few days ago are still empty. Maybe I should talk to my parents and use two acres to plant sweet potatoes.
Just then, a sound came from the courtyard.
"aunt!"
Jiang Anhe just returned from visiting her maternal grandmother's house with Liu Yuzhi and Jiang Yuntian today.
Jiang Yunning quickly left the space and came out of the house.
"Anhe." Jiang Yuning squatted down and opened her arms. The little guy rushed over like a missile and jumped into her arms.
"Auntie." Jiang Anhe pulled a small cloth bag from her pocket, inside which were pastries that had been crumbled into pieces. "Grandma gave them to me, and Anhe saved half for Auntie."
As he spoke, he poured it out, his little eyebrows furrowing as he looked at the crumbs all over his hand.
"They're all broken." He said sadly.
Jiang Yun Ning didn't mind at all, taking her hand and putting the food in her mouth. While chewing, she comforted her, "Mmm, An He brought this really delicious food for Auntie."
Jiang Anhe was praised and smiled shyly, biting her lip.
"Go to the kitchen and see, your aunt brought you some snacks today. Go and eat them yourself." She patted the little guy's bottom, then stood up: "Big brother and sister-in-law."
The two looked up: "What's wrong?"
Jiang Yun Ning looked at them and said, "I've already made arrangements with Qingshan Academy. Once we finish dealing with the land tax, we'll send An He to school."
"Okay." Jiang Yuntian's face lit up with joy.
His son is going to study at the academy in town.
This is something I never dared to even dream of before.
"Yun Ning, you can't pay An He's tuition." Liu Yuzhi said seriously, "You've already done enough."
Jiang Yunning waved his hand: "Stop, stop! This is my nephew, I'm willing."
Seeing that the person was about to say something, she turned around and called out to the kitchen, "Anhe, Auntie will take you to the river to catch fish."
"Coming!" Jiang Anhe didn't even bother with her snacks, grabbed Jiang Yunning's hand and ran outside.
The river in the village isn't very deep, and people sometimes come to fish in their spare time, but very few catch anything.
"Anhe, go check in the bushes for wild eggs." Jiang Yuning hid a few eggs in the bushes to distract Jiang Anhe, and then released two fish from his spatial storage.
"Anhe, come out quickly, Auntie caught a fish!" Jiang Anhe must have found the eggs, so she called out.
"Wow!" Jiang Anhe popped out of the bushes, clutching several eggs in her arms, her big eyes shining with admiration. "Auntie is so amazing. Anhe is amazing too, Anhe found wild eggs!"
Jiang Yun Ning smiled, her eyes crinkling.
Thank goodness she's only five; she's so easy to fool.
On the way back, Jiang Yuning was still thinking about whether he could dig a pond at his son's house to raise fish, and then put the fish from his spatial dimension in it to sell and make money.
However, these are things to consider after building a big house.
"Oh. Yun Ning."
A somewhat aged voice came from behind him. Jiang Yun Ning looked up and saw Old Man Song smiling gently. "These two big fish are quite large. Ming Lang has been studying every day lately, and he's almost ruining his health."
Old Man Song used to be like this.
He appears to be a kind-hearted person who never asks what people want.
However, it always indirectly guided the original owner to send things again and again.
"Really?" Jiang Yun Ning laughed: "Then you can tell him that no matter how hard a pig tries, it can't climb a tree."
Hmph, did they really think she was some kind of love-struck fool?
All she wants to do now is make money and build a big house.
Old Man Song was clearly taken aback; he hadn't expected Jiang Yunning to say that.
It seems that what my mother-in-law and daughter said was true.
Jiang Yun Ning was really angry.
"Yun Ning." Old Man Song still looked sad. "I've already given Ming Lang a talking-to these past few days. Don't worry, your uncle is still on your side."
Jiang Yunnian ignored him, afraid that he would be unable to resist coming up and snatching his fish.
"Don't stand there, there are too many people here, there's not enough room."
After saying that, he pulled Jiang Anhe away.
Upon entering, Jiang Yunning handed the two fish to Jiang Yuntian to prepare.
The fragrant fish soup was served, and the family was still amazed that Jiang Yuning could catch such a big fish.
"Auntie is amazing, she caught it in no time." Although Jiang Anhe didn't see it with her own eyes, she had heard Jiang Yunning say it several times, and her mind had automatically filled in the scene.
"Mother," she asked Wang Cuihua, "Did Hehua and Chunmei agree?"
Wang Cuihua nodded: "Your mother was just about to tell you. It's not just the two of them, the whole family agrees. They even said you should write down the agreement so they can put their fingerprints on it when they come."
Only a fool would refuse such high wages.
Jiang Yun Ning nodded: "Jiang Che, could you help me write two confidentiality agreements in a bit?"
"Okay." Jiang Che nodded, still eating the pickled vegetables in front of his noodles and the delicious fish soup, without touching them.
In the evening, Jiang Yun Ning clearly noticed that the person who had gone to the old house to deliver cicada nymphs the day before had returned.
She was a little confused, and when she asked, she found out that the price at the old house had also changed to thirteen coins, and it was settled the next day.
Jiang Yun Ning immediately understood that Jiang Man Cang must have known the price of sixteen coins, and only she, Jiang Yun Ning, had that price.
At this time, the old house and courtyard were empty, and there wasn't a single cicada nymph in the three large bamboo baskets.
Jiang Mancang was furious: "Grandma, Dad, I won't let Jiang Yunning have it so easy."
With that, he ran straight out the door and headed straight for Jiang Yunning's house.
"Listen up, everyone! Jiang Yun Ning went to Baiweixuan in town to sell cicada nymphs for sixteen coins a pound, and gave you thirteen coins a pound. He made a profit of three coins right away!" Jiang Man Cang shouted as soon as he entered the door.
"Three coins?"
Sure enough, some people objected.
Jiang Yun Ning looked over and saw that the speaker was Zhang San Gou, the most idle person in the village.
