Late September, early October.

Half a month later, the main structure of the new house of the second branch of the Yu family has taken shape.

According to the previous design of a two-story house with front and back yards, a pond was dug between the second yard and the backyard to fulfill Youyou's wish.

After the family members expressed their opinions freely, they finally decided to expand the original location of the pond and make a small garden.

Half of it is a pond filled with running water, which Yu Lin had racked his brains to bring from the Bai River.

He had been to Jiang'an Prefecture, where almost all the houses were built near water.

It is unclear whether the house is built next to the water or whether the running water is directed to flow past the house.

Plant flowers and vines on the other half and put tables and chairs inside.

This is specially made for Youyou.

On the day when the new house was being built, Yuliang and his wife came back after being away for half a month.

In the evening, the beams of the new house are put up and it is time to decorate the interior.

The evening breeze is blowing gently, and the weather in October has gradually become cooler.

Everyone also wore an extra coat and ate inside the shed, otherwise the food would get cold quickly.

Just as Liu and her three daughters-in-law had cleaned up the dishes, they heard voices in the yard.

"It sounds like Uncle San's house." Yang said.

Yao was a little curious: "Mom, let's go out and take a look."

Zhang was not in a hurry because she had already known from Youyou's voice that it was indeed Yuliang and his wife who had returned.

Youyou was very excited because her third uncle and aunt came with big bags.

"Wow!! So many fruits!"

"I have my favorite peach! I want to eat it!"

"Auntie... Taotao... Youyouci..."

Youyou stared at the bag of peaches with shining eyes.

Zhou Lin said: "Youyou, wait! Auntie will go wash the peaches for you right away!"

"You are the lucky star of my aunt's family!"

Zhou Lin picked up a few fruits and found water to wash them.

At this time, several people from the Liu family also came over.

"Wow! So many fruits!" Yao also became greedy after seeing them.

Zhou Lin happened to come over after washing the fruits. She picked up a peach and gave the rest to Yu Liang: "Distribute them to everyone."

She wiped the peach juice off her hand and handed it to Youyou.

Youyou happily took it and smiled sweetly: "Aunt...thank you..."

Zhou Lin's eyes were full of smiles: "Eat quickly."

With a smack, a piece of the peach was bitten off, revealing the pink peach flesh inside.

The peach was very juicy and the juice flowed down Youyou’s bulging mouth.

She herself squinted her eyes because of the delicious food.

"Wow... so delicious... love it!!"

Zhou Lin took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth, which made Youyou feel really sorry for her.

Yu Lin brought over stools and motioned for everyone to sit down.

"How about it?"

Yu Liang's face was filled with excitement and he was extremely excited.

Originally, he had been hiding his emotions in the past half month, with a fake smile on his face that did not reflect his true feelings.

On the way back to the village, he was still telling Zhou Lin: "You must keep a low profile and don't show any abnormality."

But when he heard Yu Lin's question, he couldn't help it.

Yu Liang rubbed his hands and said in a low voice, "Lin Niang and I went out and took all the money from home."

"The fifty taels you gave me before, minus the taxes and the tuition for the two children, plus what we already have at home, the total is thirty taels of silver."

"Net profit of one hundred taels!"

"Brother Dalin! Lin Niang and I made a net profit of one hundred taels in half a month!"

"This is all thanks to you! All thanks to Youyou! Wuwuwu..."

Yu Liang, a grown man, started crying as he spoke.

This made Yu Lin laugh and cry, and the other members of the Yu family were so shocked that they didn't react for a long time.

Yao was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "How much?"

"One hundred taels? Good God!"

“Is this business so profitable?”

Everyone was also curious about what Yao said.

Who wouldn’t be tempted to earn a hundred taels in half a month?

Yu Lin and Zhang didn't react that strongly, after all, they had a daughter who knew everything.

"Oh wow! Third cousin did a pretty good job on this trip."

"In half a month, I made a hundred taels from thirty taels, which is not bad."

"But if it were me, I would definitely earn more."

"But it's okay. After all, they are new to this and don't know anything. Just take it slow!"

Zhou Lin also said: "This time it's all thanks to Youyou, otherwise we wouldn't be able to take the fruits we harvested to the capital, let alone make money."

Zhou Lin took out a red envelope from his arms and stuffed it into Youyou's arms.

"This is a small gift from Brother Liang and I. It's not much. I'll make it up to you when I earn more!"

Youyou blinked, then wiped his little hands on his bib, squeezed the red envelope in his hand, and finally handed it to Zhou Lin, shaking his head.

It means she doesn't want it.

Zhou Lin squatted down so that his eyes were level with hers.

"Why not? You deserve it."

Without Youyou's stabilizing and stopping symbols, how could they make money?

Zhou Lin knew that Youyou was smart, so she continued, "Can I just consider it as the money for your two talismans?"

Youyou still shook his head.

"Auntie...buy fruit...sell..."

This means that Zhou Lin can continue to use the money to buy fruit and make money.

She just pinched the red envelope and it wasn't thick, but it was impossible for Zhou Lin to just give her a few copper coins.

So Youyou guessed that there was most likely a silver note in the red envelope.

"Give me... Taotao..."

Just give me a few more peaches to eat!

Zhou Lin still didn't give up and wanted to persuade him again.

"Just listen to Youyou, sister-in-law. You can give it to her when you make money in the future."

Youyou nodded, indicating that he agreed with Zhang's words.

Yu Lin followed up by saying, "You guys need money to collect the fruits now, and you also need money to go to the capital to make arrangements. She doesn't need any money for food and drink, so you should spend it on yourself first."

"It's still early for the winter and New Year, I guess you guys will have to make a few more trips, right?"

Yu Liang sniffed and said in a muffled voice, "This business is indeed profitable. Not only do we make money, but Lin Niang's village also makes money."

"We went there in two trips. The first time, they thought it was impossible and were afraid that we would lose money, so they offered a very low price. Lin Niang and I were also worried about this problem, so we bought it at a low price."

"I didn't expect that the products would sell so well in the capital. When I went there for the second time, I doubled the purchase price. The villagers were happy and we made money."

"Wangshan County has many mountains and trees, but little land. There are many villages like Linniang's."

"I have roughly calculated that if 80% of the fruits in Wangshan County can be shipped out and sold, it can support the entire Nanyang Prefecture, and even be sold to Yanmen Prefecture and other counties nearby."

“This year’s profit is quite considerable!”

How can it not be watched?

It’s just a village. If we carry goods worth thirty taels twice every half a month, we can earn one hundred taels.

Not to mention anything else, based on this rate of making money, that’s 1,200 taels of silver a year!

What’s the difference between this and picking up money!
