Jiang Wei's smile faded visibly: "My daughter is still young, so it's not appropriate to talk about this kind of thing."

The Zhang family's sister-in-law knew that Jiang Wei was angry when she saw her face, and said hurriedly: "Hey, Xiaoxiao Niang, don't blame me for talking too much. Your family is no better than before... You have a house, and you can do business in the town. I don’t know how many people have envied you for being prosperous. You two, mother and daughter, don’t have a man to take care of you at home. I’m afraid..."

"We, mother and son, can still live well without a man." Jiang Wei interrupted her quietly.

She knew that the eldest sister-in-law of the Zhang family also had good intentions. In this feudal era where husbands were the most important thing, it was easy for people to miss her if she didn't have a son in the family. Especially at such a young age, Xiaoxiao, if she was targeted by someone with evil intentions, no matter how old she was, Xiao, the innocence of the girl's family is ruined...

She softened her tone: "Don't worry, Sister-in-law Zhang, I can make my own decision on this matter. Xiaoxiao is young, so it's too early to talk about having a baby."

"I don't want to get married!" Jiang Xiaoxiao pouted, pretending to be innocent and said: "I want to stay with my mother forever and honor her all my life!"

What a joke, her mother-in-law is the heroine of the original novel. Without her halo as the protagonist, how can she still have a good life?

The people at the table laughed at her words.

"You girl, how can a girl stay with her mother all her life? She will get married sooner or later when she gets older." Qiu Lianniang joked with a smile.

"If she is willing to stay with me, it doesn't matter if I raise her for the rest of her life." Jiang Wei's voice was calm, but his words were filled with the aura of being true to his words.

Several people present were stunned when they heard this, but then they laughed, thinking that Jiang Wei's words were just a joke to tease Jiang Xiaoxiao.

What mother these days doesn’t hope that her daughter will marry into a good family?

But only Jiang Xiaoxiao knew that her mother-in-law was not joking, but was really willing to support her for the rest of her life.

Jiang Xiaoxiao's heart was so beautiful that she hugged Jiang Wei's arm and rubbed it again and again. Her mother was simply a beautiful and kind-hearted heroine...

"Okay, stop acting like a baby." Jiang Wei glanced at her helplessly, and then took out his arm.

She stood up, left her seat, and walked to the center of the yard.

Jiang Xiaoxiao naturally knew what her mother was going to do, so she hurriedly sat upright.

At this time, the people in the village had eaten and drank enough, and were chatting with the people next to them.

Jiang Wei stood in the middle of the yard and said slowly: "I believe everyone already knows that I have built several more houses in the front yard of my house. I plan to use these bungalows as soap workshops."

"Soap workshop, what is that?" Some people in the village didn't know about soap, so they asked the people around them.

When I found out that this soap was the same thing as bath beans, I couldn’t help but sigh: "Oh, this is amazing. I heard that bath beans are very expensive. Only rich people can afford them. People in the town are using them." I can’t buy it.”

"I saw a few days ago that even people like Master Zheng who have seen the world are rushing to buy soap. This Jiang lady is so amazing. She makes ice cream and soap. How come she can make everything?"

"Don't you know this? Xiaoxiao made this soap by herself, and my Xiao Shuan is still there to help."

When everyone heard this, they were even more surprised: "Xiaoxiao did it?! This can't be possible, she is only five years old, and she can even make such good things!"

Seeing that everyone was discussing this matter more and more intensely, Jiang Wei hurriedly said: "Everyone, be quiet and listen to me first. When the autumn planting is over, my soap workshop will be almost completed. By then, we will have to recruit thirty people." Numbered people will come to work, fifteen men and fifteen women. If you are interested, you can sign up."

She paused and then added: "Of course, I won't be stingy about the wages. For the workers who come to work at my house, women get 500 wen a month, and men get 600 wen a month."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present widened their eyes in disbelief.

What! Even women have five hundred wages? ! "My dear, I have five hundred wages. Even if I work for Cao Yuan's wife in the town for three months, I won't be able to earn that much money!"

"Xiaoxiao Niang, when will the construction of your house start? I want to sign up!"

"Niang Xiaoxiao, add me and come when my autumn harvest is over!"

……

For a moment, everyone stood up and surrounded Jiang Wei, fearing that they would not be able to grab the spot for the thirty people.

Jiang Wei called Liu Dagang and left the recruitment matter to him as usual.

She had warned Liu Dagang in advance that the people she recruited must be honest, capable and reliable, and not those who were sneaky and cunning.

Jiang Xiaoxiao also found paper and pen from the room and spread them on the table. Liu Dagang sat next to her, and a long queue formed in front of them.

The work of making soap is neither easy nor difficult. For example, work such as filtering plant ash requires very meticulous work, so try to find a careful woman. When pouring boiled lard into alkaline water, you need to stir it vigorously. Strong men do it.

Naturally, the wages for manual labor are higher.

"Wang Dachui, Zhao Youcai, and Cheng Yougui... these people can all stay."

Most of these people had helped her family build a house. They had experience and were honest and capable people.

Every time Liu Dagang said a name, Jiang Xiaoxiao took a note and wrote down the next one.

Soon Jiang Xiaoxiao had written down a whole sheet of paper. When it was the women's turn, Li Dayong's wife was the first to jump out: "Me, me, me! Choose me!"

Jiang Xiaoxiao frowned and said, "Auntie, it's better to say goodbye. There are only four people in your family. You came to my house to work, and Brother Da Zhuang has no one to take care of you."

To be honest, she didn't want Li Dayong's daughter-in-law to come to work at her house. This man was petty and was always looking for trouble. When he came, he didn't know what trouble he was going to make.

What's more, there are elders and younger ones in her family. After she comes, who will take care of the elderly at home and who will do the work at home?

Li Dayong's wife was immediately dissatisfied: "What do you mean, girl! You look down on me, don't you?!"

"Hey, Dayong's wife, please don't come here. Your mother-in-law is over sixty years old. She is quite old. Is it possible that all the work at home is left to her?"

"You -" Li Dayong's wife gritted her teeth in anger, "Danniu's wife, you can't say that, your family still only has four people, and your family Gao Xiaoyan is already working here, why are you still here?!"

"Daughter-in-law Dayong, you don't have to worry about this. My Yanzi and Shuanzi are both very sensible. We don't need to worry about it. The children's father will take care of all the household chores." As the tall Niu wife spoke, she stepped forward and squeezed. Opened Li Dayong's wife.

Li Dayong's wife was so angry that she had nothing to say.

After all, the tall and powerful wife has no parents-in-law and does not have to serve the elderly. The daughter-in-law is also sensible and obedient, so she is quite popular in the Jiang family.

Unlike her family, her son has just turned ten years old, which is the age when dogs hate people. He comes home covered in mud from playing every day and wants her to wash it. The mother-in-law above always beats and scolds her... That's all. Li Dayong is not the same. He is a worry-free person. If he is asked to do all the housework by himself, he will definitely not be willing to do it.

Li Dayong's wife left angrily. (End of chapter)
