After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

In the blink of an eye, the New Year is approaching again. This year, the Li family's business has expanded a lot, and there are more human contacts than last year, so they are busier than last year.

In addition, Yuan Huiniang is getting older, so Yan Qingqing is as busy as a top every day.

Either doing accounting or preparing for the holiday.

Yuan Huiniang saw that Yan Qingqing was busy from morning to night every day without a moment of leisure, and she said with some distress: "Mom, why don't you let my eldest sister help you.

Your body will definitely not be able to bear it after working so hard for a long time now. "

A sarcastic smile appeared on Yan Qingqing's lips. Some people might be really cold-hearted.

She thought to herself that she was not bad to Li Xinniang. She didn't say that she would do everything for her, but she still made every plan for her.

He just disagreed with her about the marriage, but now they were acting like two strangers.

In fact, if Li Xinniang wanted to marry Wu Jingzhi, Yan Qingqing would not object, but the way Li Xinniang handled the matter made her extremely disappointed.

And since her marriage to Wu Jingzhi was confirmed, Li Xinniang hid in her room every day to embroider her wedding dress.

No matter whether it is big or small, I don't care about anything at home.

Not to mention Yan Qingqing, even Li Xiangping and others were extremely disappointed with Li Xinniang.

When Yuan Huiniang saw the indifference on Yan Qingqing's face when she mentioned Li Xinniang, she knew that Yan Qingqing would not easily forgive Li Xinniang.

So he didn’t try to persuade her any more, so he changed the subject and said, “Mom, I tried to draw up a gift list myself, please take a look.

We don’t have many relatives in our family. Although grandma no longer teaches embroidery in the embroidery workshop, she still helps us a lot.

In addition, our family is having a better time this year, so I increased the amount by [-]% compared to last year.

Other relatives still come according to the same rules as last year.

There are also families that we often move around, and Magistrate Ling’s is naturally the only one.

The merchants who normally cooperate with us are divided into the first class, and the wealthy gentry who work with us normally are divided into the first class.

This is the gift list, please take a look at it. "

Yan Qingqing took it and looked at it carefully. It was indeed well formulated and reasonable, and basically took into account anyone who would be around their family.

Yan Qingqing smiled and said: "The gift list is well drawn, I don't think there is any big problem.

Boss Lin from Zuishenglou adds an additional [-]%.

And your village chief grandfather, he helps our family no matter how big or small it is, and he prepares an extra one to send over.

The gift list will be two cents less than your grandpa's. "

Yuan Huiniang quickly agreed after hearing this. Li Kaishan has always cared about their family's affairs, so it is appropriate to give him a New Year's gift.

As for Mr. Li, although Mrs. Li is unconventional, Mr. Li is now supporting them in everything.

Moreover, Mr. Li strictly restrained Mrs. Li so that she would not dare to find trouble with Yan Qingqing and Li Sanniu again, which also saved her a lot of trouble.

There is also boss Lin from Zuishenglou, although he is a brothel girl, but he is said to have a good personal relationship with Yan Qingqing. When Yan Qingqing was named Mingzhao Renren, she gave him many gifts in private.

Of course, Yuan Huiniang only knew these things on the surface. She really didn't know about Yan Qingqing's entrustment to Lin Ning'er in private.

But now that Yan Qingqing has confessed, Yuan Huiniang will naturally not object.

Yan Qingqing thought for a while and then said: "In addition to these annual gifts, the benefits of the workers in our workshops and shops must also be paid in place."

Yuan Huiniang's eyelids jumped when she heard this, and she remembered the benefits given out during the New Year last year.

Last year, the people in the embroidery workshop alone spent dozens of taels of money on welfare alone.

There are a lot of people in their shop and workshop this year, which is a huge expense.

Yan Qingqing knew what Yuan Huiniang was thinking by looking at her expression.

So he smiled and explained: "My mother has told you about this before.

Whether it is the workers in our workshop or the workers in the shop, if we want them to work for us wholeheartedly, all the benefits must be provided.

If they want to change jobs, they have nowhere to go. If they can't find such a good job, they will naturally work even harder. "

Yuan Huiniang agrees with Yan Qingqing's words, because no one in their embroidery shop or workshop has taken the initiative to resign.

But she also understood that there was no such welfare in Chengyang County, and she felt a little sorry for Qianzi.

So Yuan Huiniang hesitated for a while and then said: "We are so good to the workers, so aren't Yang Bao and Yang Quan still doing sneaky things in the workshop?"

Yan Qingqing laughed after hearing this and said: "Hui Niang, don't try to get into trouble, people like them are purely morally corrupt.

Even if you give them the best welfare benefits, they will still be sneaky, but we cannot deny everyone because of one or two people. "

In the end, Yuan Huiniang was persuaded by Yan Qingqing and readily agreed to Yan Qingqing's plan to provide benefits to the workers.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discussed it and, in addition to an extra month's wages for each of them, they also got two kilograms of pork and two braised chickens.

There are more than 300 people in the workshop and shop combined. Including the New Year's goods distributed, there are almost hundreds of taels.

Finally, Yuan Huiniang approved the money and handed over the purchase to Ada.

After Yuan Huiniang left, Yan Qingqing began to calculate this year's income again.

Because the accounts are calculated every month, the general ledger is very simple to calculate.

The total net income for this year, excluding expenses, was 13 taels.

Of course, this does not include what goes into Yan Qingqing’s private treasury. The income from Shopkeeper Yun's teahouse, as well as the 1000 taels of gold rewarded by the emperor and the gifts given by others when Yan Qingqing was named Ming Zhaoren, totaled tens of thousands of taels.

The bulk of the Li family's income comes from the food processing workshop, which accounts for nearly 9 taels.

With these 10,000+ taels of silver, the Li family can be considered to have some wealth.

However, he still had to spend 5 taels as a dowry for Li Xinniang.

Thinking of Li Xin's mother, Yan Qingqing sighed again, she was considered benevolent and righteous.

As for Li Xinniang, she was in a daze looking at the wedding dress that she had embroidered most of.

During this time, she also calmed down completely. Thinking back to what she had done some time ago, she wanted to slap herself twice.

She was really obsessed at first, how could she do such a thing.

Now that I think about it, I feel regretful. Although Wu Jingzhi is a nice person, his family is far away from the capital.

It's that she knows nothing about the Wu family's situation. Once she marries Wu Jingzhi, she will face the entire Wu family in the future.

It's okay if they like themselves, but if they don't like themselves. Who will support her when she is alone in the capital?

Besides, her mother is such an open-minded person. If she and Wu Jingzhi truly love each other, she believes that her mother will help her in the end.

But she did something that lowered her status. I'm afraid Wu Jingzhi looked down upon her in his heart.

The more Li Xiniang thought about it, the more frustrated she felt. She wanted to admit her mistake to Yan Qingqing, but she was afraid that Yan Qingqing would not forgive her.

Thinking of this, Li Xinniang was extremely troubled.
