The little ancestor of the family

Chapter 149 Why did you abandon her?

Ye Xinran didn't take this matter to heart.

After Lu Changqing returned, she was busy with the business in the store and building the house.

Both the Snow Face Cream and the Cool Drink are selling well.

But the days are getting colder day by day, and refreshing drinks will soon be out of season.

They have made a good start this year and will be able to sell refreshing drinks as soon as next spring comes.

Judging from the popularity, Li Mo is very confident about next year's sales.

There is no such trouble with the Snow Face Cream. Those who used the Jade Face Cream before have now become loyal customers of the Snow Face Cream.

More and more people from other places come to buy Snow Face Cream.

Ye Xinran improved the formula, and skin discoloration no longer occurred during medication.

Shunyitang was able to help Yongletang this time. Without their publicity and channels, the Snow Face Cream would not have spread to the capital city so quickly.

For them, it is a case of not only stealing a chicken but also losing the rice.

However, Shunyitang did not take any further action.

Ye Xinran also heard that Shunyitang had a new owner.

The original shopkeeper was transferred back to the capital for questioning, and the new one was an experienced shopkeeper who had worked in the Huo family for more than 20 years.

Ye Xinran didn't care too much.

Her principle is that I will not offend others unless they offend me.

As long as they don't act like a slut, Ye Xinran doesn't mind everyone getting rich together.

Speaking of getting rich, I can now earn several hundred taels of silver every day.

There were dozens of large boxes filled with silver in the space.

She doesn't like silver notes, she only likes real gold and silver.

When paying the bill, she just put the money away.

She would also find an opportunity to ask Li Mo to exchange the silver notes she received for gold or silver ingots.

Li Mo was confused.

"Sister-in-law, you have so much silver, it's hard to store it at home, right? Even if you build a big house, it's not safe to store so much silver at home. It's better to change it into some silver bills, which are safer and more convenient to carry."

How could Ye Xinran listen to any advice?

"You don't have to worry about this. With Huai'an here, our family's money is safe wherever we put it."

In order to avoid Li Mo's suspicion, she added:

“Besides, I don’t keep it all the time. I just take it home to look at it for a few days and then deposit it in a bank after a while.

My sister-in-law's family was poor when she was young, and she had never seen much money, so this was the only hobby she had."

Li Mo waved his hands and said, "Sister-in-law, please stop talking. You think you have never seen big money? Our store's share this month is three hundred taels of silver. I still know how much money you have made."

"Shh, don't say this, or someone will hear it."

Ye Xinran said deliberately mysteriously.

Li Mo also quickly covered his mouth.

My sister-in-law is right. We can’t let others know about this.

Li Mo was sincerely happy for Xiao Huaian that his family could make money.

I never thought that after going through so much hardship, he could still live such a happy life now. God, he will open his eyes eventually.

……

Xiao Huaian has been busy building a house recently.

He has to decide what materials to use and how high to build it.

Half a month later, the house finally took shape.

Everyone looked at the spacious courtyard of the new house and the bluestone paved ground with envy in their eyes.

Yes, there is only envy, no jealousy.

People are always used to comparing themselves with people who are similar to themselves.

If their neighbors have a little more money than themselves, they will be jealous; if their neighbors have a little more food than themselves, they will be jealous.

But when this neighbor reaches a height that they cannot reach, they are no longer jealous, and all that is left is envy.

"Once this bluestone slab is laid, there will be no water accumulation in the yard even if it rains."

"Yeah, so we can walk in the yard without stepping in the mud!"

"Why are you only looking at the bluestone slabs? Don't you see their big room, which is twice as big as mine?"

"Their toilet is also very beautifully built. I heard that it can flush."

"It's good to be rich. I have never seen these strange things."

Everyone was praising the Xiao family's new house.

Ye Xinran was still discussing with the village head about how to put a few kangs in the house.

"We haven't seen the thing you mentioned before. Erzhu's father is very skilled. You can draw your thing and tell him how to make it. He will then find a way to make it for you."

The head of the village gave some advice.

"Okay, then I'll study it with Erzhu's father."

Ye Xinran is afraid of cold but not heat.

Burning only the stove in winter was totally inadequate for her needs.

Only a warm bed can keep her truly warm in winter.

She drew the appearance of the earthen kang in her memory, and then explained to Erzhu's father how to keep and move the flue.

Erzhu's father is a good worker. According to Ye Xinran, he actually developed the earthen kang in just two days.

"Can this thing really work?"

Erzhu's father looked at the square kang in front of him and was a little bit unbelieving.

"Yes, in winter, you can put a quilt on it and it will keep you warm for half the night."

Ye Xinran said.

"Okay, I'll get one for my own home tomorrow. Erzhu's mother always complains about the cold in winter, so let her enjoy some happiness this year!"

"Then she will definitely be happy!" Ye Xinran said with a smile.

After the kangs were set up in several rooms, it was time for the important day of raising the beams.

On the day of raising the beam, the head of the village would find eight young men with the most auspicious looks in the village to go to the roof to pull the beam. After the beam was stabilized, Changping and Changsheng would stand on the beam together and throw down the prepared wedding candies, wedding cakes, red dates, peanuts and other things from a great height.

People of all ages in the village came to join in the fun and grab the good fortune, while Xiao Huaian took a few people with him and started setting off firecrackers in the yard.

The yard was bustling with activity and everyone was immersed in joy.

No one noticed when a carriage arrived outside the yard of the new house.

There were a young man and a woman sitting in the carriage.

The woman is quite old, but you can still see her former beauty.

She leaned over to look into the yard, her eyes following the light green figure.

"Mom, that's Miss Ye I told you about. She is my biological sister. Can you recognize her?"

The person who spoke was Lu Changqing.

His mother just arrived in Yuntong County yesterday, and he couldn't wait to bring his mother to see his sister today.

Leng Qingyu stirred the silk handkerchief in her hand vigorously.

How could I not recognize my own daughter?

What's more, she looks so much like me when I was young!

"Does she know that she is the Lu family's child?"

Leng Qingyu couldn't hide his excitement and nervousness.

"Of course she knows."

Lu Changqing said affirmatively.

"Because she is just like me, we are the closest people and we have a sense of each other."

Leng Qingyu's eyes turned red: "Did she ever say that she would blame me?"

"My sister didn't say anything." Lu Changqing's eyes were dark.

"She is neither happy nor unhappy, but mother, why did you abandon my sister and raise Lu Zhiyi?"
