Madam, She Has a Tender Heart

Chapter 288 Good prospects

Su Qing'an also sent a lot of candles to the governor's mansion, and Lord Pei and Madam Ma liked them very much.

Pei Nian even closed the door and talked to Su Qing'an for a long time.

If there are local specialties in his territory, it is a solid political achievement, and it can leave a heavy mark in the history books.

With Lord Pei willing to escort, Su Qing'an felt much more at ease.

She returned to the village without stopping, worked hard, and extracted all the wax flowers and made various candles. Because the business of scented candles was given to Manager Li, some semi-finished white wax was left.

In less than a month, all the wax flowers were extracted, and except for some for her family's own use and some for the governor's mansion, all were sold to Manager Li.

After deducting the 20% she gave to the governor's mansion and Ma Mingwen, she still got tens of thousands of taels.

She had earned back all the money she had spent on buying the land before.

She was overjoyed.

The feeling of counting silver was so good.

She happily bought a lot of cloth from Manager Li and a lot of furs from various villages, and distributed them generously to the servants in Xingeng Village.

Let them spend the winter warmly.

Following her as the boss, they must not only eat and live well, but also wear warm clothes to spend the winter. It is very cold in the mountains in winter.

The servants who got the cloth and furs were all happy and excited.

Everyone ran to thank her happily.

Liang Chen leaned against the door, holding a handful of nuts, frowning: "Why don't we have them?"

Liang Si had a complicated mood. She didn't expect that the servants who sold themselves lived better than them, the good people.

"Mother! We are not servants of the Su family, why should they give us?"

"We also live in this village, how could they miss our family alone."

Liang Chen felt that Su Qing'an was targeting her. The two widows must have taken a fancy to Su Dahu and were dissatisfied with her.

"Mom, stop talking nonsense. If you think it's bad, why don't we sell ourselves to her?"

"I'm not crazy. I'm a good citizen, but a lackey."

"Mom! Stop talking nonsense. It's so embarrassing if someone hears it."

"Can't you speak freely in our home?" Liang Chen curled her lips.

"Mom, we have more this year than in previous years. When Dad was at home, we didn't have much surplus food. This year we live in a new house, have food and drink, and have saved three taels of silver. It's really good."

Three taels of silver can do a lot! Look at how generously the Su family bought such a large cart of cloth. How much silver must it cost!

Thinking about the fur in her heart, she didn't expect Su Dahu to send it to her.

Su Dahu lived and ate at the Su family. Like the other son of the Su family, his food and clothing were usually taken care of by Su's mother. When he worked for Su Qing'an, Su Qing'an would also give him a lot of wages.

When he went into the mountains to find good things, Su Qing'an didn't want the money from the sales, and let him keep it for himself.

He saved some money.

This time, Su Qing'an would not miss him when she distributed winter clothes to the village.

He knew that the Liang family mother and daughter did not have any, so he thought about it and used the money he saved to buy a few furs from the mountain people in the market town and sent them to the Liang family.

"Oh, Da Hu is here, come in quickly!" Liang Chen greeted him warmly.

"No, aunt. I just sent you some things. I heard that it is very cold in the mountains in winter. I am afraid that you don't have winter clothes in winter, so I sent you a few furs. You can cut them and make winter coats for you."

"Oh, this really touched my heart. I just told your sister that it might be difficult to survive the winter this year. I heard that it is colder in the mountains than outside. Just as I finished speaking, you sent it to me. Thank you very much, aunt." Liang Chen took it, flipped through it in her hand, and was happy in her heart.

Liang Si heard him coming and came out of the house. Seeing that her mother took it without any hesitation, she felt a little embarrassed.

"Thank you, Brother Su."

"You're welcome. I wonder if you have prepared firewood for the winter? I'm afraid that the mountain will be blocked by heavy snow and it will be difficult to cut firewood."

"We..."

Liang Si just opened her mouth and was interrupted by Liang Chen: "Oh, that's right, it will be difficult to deal with the heavy snow blocking the mountain. We two women can't get much firewood, and we are worried."

"Mom!"

Su Dahu looked at her mother and daughter and said, "Okay, Auntie, I know, I'll get you some."

"Okay, thank you so much."

"Brother Su, come in and have a drink Hot water?"

"No, I'm leaving. You guys go in, it's cold outside."

After Su Dahu left, Liang Si frowned and looked at her mother: "Mom, I've already collected a lot of firewood at home. If we save some more, it will be enough for us."

"What do you mean by enough? You're stupid. Why would you refuse such a strenuous job when someone is helping you? You're a woman who's out in the open, going to the mountains to chop firewood, all alone, what if something goes wrong? The mountain folks are tricky."

"Then mother, come with me."

"...Someone else has done it, why do you want to drag me along?" Liang Chen said and went into the house.

Liang Si looked at her mother's back, feeling sad.

When Dad was around, mother was obviously very diligent. Now that Dad is gone, mother can only follow her in the future. Which man is willing to marry a wife and a mother-in-law?

Liang Si felt dazed.

Looked in the direction of Su Dahu.

But the Su family was happy and ready to hibernate.

"I heard that it's very cold in the mountains in winter, and there will be heavy snow and the mountains will be closed." Su's mother said while holding a tongs and pulling out chestnuts and other food from the brazier.

"What are you afraid of? My sister asked someone to build a kang. She lit a fire and slept warmly without a quilt. I plan to stay on the kang in winter." Qingxing didn't care at all.

Winter might be more comfortable than summer.

Su's mother saw that the chestnuts she had just pulled out were quickly caught by Qingxing, and slapped her hard: "You are snatching food from your two nephews! You are so good!"

"You are so good." Xiaobao imitated Su's mother's words and said to Qingxing.

He was so small and pretended to be an adult with a stern face, which made everyone laugh.

Qingxing had just peeled the chestnuts, and her hands were still black. She smiled and gently drew a black mark on Xiaobao's face.

"Mom! Look at my aunt! Bad!"

Xiaobao was angry and wiped it on his face while looking for Su Qingmei.

When Yaya saw her brother's face was scratched by her aunt, she wiped it on the brazier with her little hand and also on Qingxing's face. Xiaobao was happy when he saw it, and followed his sister's example, chasing Qingxing to smear the smeared face.

Chasing around in the house, making a mess.

"You have made a lot of progress. Your two nephews are not as old as you. You are a grown-up girl, and you still have the nerve to make trouble with them."

Su's mother grabbed her by her side, patted her, and froze her, letting Yaya and Xiaobao smear the smeared cat face on her face.

Qingxing stamped her feet: "Mom, you don't want a daughter anymore when you have a grandson."

"Why do you need you? You are not as sensible as your nephew."

The whole family watched with a smile.
