Chapter 419: Confidence from My Daughter
She transferred Xichun and Nianxia away, and when the house over there was renovated, someone would have to take care of the big kitchen.

Shi Liu took this opportunity to select two skilled maids from the farm, as well as a few kitchen maids. With more manpower, they could handle the cooking. After all, there were more people in the house, and they couldn't let Hu Zhen and others eat together in the workshop canteen as before.

Two maids were also selected to be responsible for cleaning the house.

Two little maids were also selected. One was placed beside Old Yuan to help massage her legs and shoulders when she had nothing to do, and the other was placed beside Song to listen to her instructions.

If Li Jihe and Li Laodi had not waved their hands to refuse, she would have wanted to choose a long-term attendant for each of them and a servant for the other.

As for the brothers Li Rongzhong and Li Rongyu, who also came to the village to celebrate their grandmother's birthday and escape the heat, they retreated again and again.

"Pomegranate, please spare us! I'm not used to being served by others. It's better to do my own things."

I’m not used to having someone following me all the time!
Anyway, they really can't adapt to it, so we'll talk about it later!
Shi Liu bypassed them and chose a servant for his younger brother Li Rongzhang. The servant was the youngest son of the village head. Not only was he of the same age, but he was also literate.

Just keep her by your side now and cultivate the relationship. Then, no matter whether Li Rongzhang goes to study in an academy or take the imperial examination, he will have a companion.

Unlike his two brothers, Li Rongzhang was happy to have someone by his side. He smiled and said to his book boy, "When I go to school, you can play with Bafang! When I get out of school, we can read and write together!"

The new servant was flattered and felt that his master was very kind.

A book boy must have a name, and Shi Liu let Li Rongzhang choose one himself.

Li Rongzhang clapped his hands and said, "How about calling Laicai?"

The servant boy shrank his neck, angry but not daring to say anything: "Sir, this seems to be the name of a dog. The dog in Zhuangzi is called this."

Shi Liu glanced sideways, "What do you mean by 'laicai'? You are a scholar after all, can't you give a more elegant name?"

Li Rongzhang looked innocent, "Money comes from all directions!"

Pomegranate: ...So you and your senior brother Fan Jin are in cahoots. The other brother’s book boy is called Bafang, but you insist on calling him Laicai?

Bafang sounds nice and powerful, and can bring wealth... It would be so embarrassing for you if you tell others about it, brother!

"Okay, okay, can't I think of another one?" Although he thought Laicai was a good man, Li Rongzhang quickly raised his hands in surrender due to the look in his second sister's eyes.

Then he stroked his chin and thought carefully.

"Got it!" In a moment, his eyes lit up.

The book boy's eyes were filled with silent anticipation.

"Let's call it Guangrun! Wealth enriches the house, virtue enriches the body, and the heart is broad and the body is fat, so a gentleman must be sincere in his intentions!"

"Guangrun? This is okay." Shi Liu nodded slightly. As long as the name was normal, she didn't care. After all, he was her younger brother's servant.

The book boy Guangrun also said quickly: "Thank you for the name, sir!"

Compared to wealth, this name is really great!

He didn't read much, but just by listening to the young master's recitation of this sentence, he knew which book the name Guangrun came from!

Song couldn't help but smile as she watched this scene.

After dinner, when it was still light outside, Mrs. Song called Shi Liu to her room to talk.

Shi Liu walked over and saw Li Jihe and Song sitting on the couch in the room, looking like they were in trouble. She knew what was going on. She said playfully, "Mother, why did you ask me to come here? Do you have something good to give to me without telling my elder brother and second brother?"

"Kid, why do you need to tell them what you want? Even if they are in front of you, you can give it to them! What else can they say?"

There is nothing in this house that was not earned by Pomegranate.

"Come and sit down, and listen to what your parents are talking to you."

Mrs. Song waved her hand and asked her daughter to sit next to her.

Pomegranate went over and sat down obediently.

Song then glanced at Li Jihe.

Li Jihe said, "I contacted the timber merchant I met in the state capital with a batch of good wood. I plan to make dowry furniture for you. I made your eldest sister's dowry furniture myself, so yours will be the same. Dad just wants to ask you, do you have any requirements? What style do you like?"

The younger daughter always has her own plans, unlike the older daughter. It would not be too late for him to ask the younger daughter's opinion before starting on this matter.

Shi Liu knew that her father had bought a batch of wood in the provincial capital last year. She heard that the money was almost not enough and he had spent all the money he had saved.

She had guessed something at that time, so after settling the accounts at the end of the year, she gave her parents a large sum of extra money.

Although all these family businesses were her idea, everyone in the family has contributed to them, so they cannot all be considered hers.

So, she gave Tongwanzhai in Luoshui City to her eldest brother, the specialty store in Luoshui City to her second brother, and Tongwanzhai in Fucheng to her father. She also bought a house for each of them. All the profits from the food workshop, excluding the costs, were divided equally at the end of the year.

All the money she kept for herself was the profit from the herbal medicine restaurant and the sheep workshop.

Overall, she got the most, but her parents and eldest brother also saved a lot of money.

Everyone has this tacit understanding that the businesses she manages are her dowry.

Only Zhang Ge'er's family paid for his studies, but they only bought him a house in the city not far from the county government office, nothing else.

But the pomegranate would not fall on him. She also secretly reserved a sum of money for him separately, and would give it to him when he proposed to her.

Coming back to his senses, Shi Liu looked at Li Jihe and said with a smile, "Dad, don't tell me, I do have some ideas! Don't worry, wait until I have finished drawing the blueprint, and then you can start."

Hearing that his daughter still had to draw a blueprint, Li Jihe thought to himself: As expected, he knew that Shi Liu had her own ideas. Fortunately, he asked first.

Li Jihe nodded and looked at Song, "Then I'm fine. Let your mother tell you."

Song continued, her eyes reddening as she spoke, she was excited.

"Shi Liu, today I heard that your stepfather and stepmother prepared so much dowry for you. Your father and I feel very embarrassed. What do we have? That's all you earned, and you used it as a dowry for you. It's really...

Your father can only make you a complete set of dowry furniture, and the only thing your mother can do is to make you some clothes, shoes and socks..."

Shi Liu's nose felt sore when she heard this, and she smiled and said, "Mom, you are wrong. You and Dad gave me life and raised me. That is the best thing you have ever given me! I would never trade it for anything worth a fortune!"

Without you, how could I earn all this money and wealth? So don't say that it's all given by me, it's yours! Who said that I can't afford a dowry for your daughter? This is all your confidence!"

Song was really comforted. Her little girl is always so caring!
Sometimes, I really feel that she is not just a girl of ten years old. I just feel that she seems to be more like a mother than her mother!
Song wiped her tears and couldn't help laughing.

"Shi Liu, when you say that, I feel very confident! The confidence given by my daughter is great!
Don't worry, your dowry will be prepared by your parents! It will be generous!"
