Wu Shilin was willing to give out fifty thousand taels so generously before because he thought he could get the money back.
He thought that Ding Tieniu was born in poverty and had limited money no matter how much money he spent.
Little did he expect that the money would be gone before he got it into his hands.
Fifty thousand taels was not a small amount of money for the Wu family in the past, let alone for the Wu family whose property has shrunk now. Thinking that the money would disappear like this, Wu Shilin was so shocked that he vomited blood and felt his ears
There was a buzzing sound and the body fell down.
As the head of the Wu family, his fall naturally alarmed everyone.
As the first person who came over, Wu Xiuping also saw the contents of the letter. He had to say that he was also deeply stimulated. It was only because there was Wu Shilin who needed more attention that the shock was lessened.
Wu Shilin lay down and slept for three full days before waking up.
During this period, he was constantly stimulated and was in danger of having a stroke. The doctors also said that he would have to control his emotions in the future and not be overjoyed or angry, otherwise he would very likely suffer a stroke and become paralyzed next time.
Wu Xiuping knows that his current age and qualifications are not enough to convince the public, and he hopes more than anyone else that his father can survive for a few more years.
He comforted Wu Shilin, "Dad, don't think about that money. When our cotton cloth goes on the market early next year, you can earn back the money in less than a year."
"And there is also the fourth sister. She is very popular with Su Yueling now. Maybe she will be able to get the white sugar recipe soon."
Because of the pedal spinning wheel, they were no longer as eager for the white sugar recipe as before, and the recipe served as the icing on the cake.
"Looking at the bright side, Ding Tieniu's death now is also good for our family. No one except us will have the chance to get the blueprint again, not even the Yuan family or the Mo family. And this time his death was an accident, and
Our home is closed."
It can only be said that Ding Tieniu did not enjoy a happy life.
He analyzed it piece by piece, which really made Wu Shilin feel calmer, "You're right."
When they can make more money next year, they can even open cloth shops all over Daxia. No cloth shop can compare with them. He really shouldn't have done this because of a mere 50,000 taels. It's simply embarrassing.
Wu Shilin regained his energy and followed the doctor's advice to take good care of his health. He is still waiting to lead the Wu family to glory in the next few years.
Take advantage of this period to let the carpenters at home make as many spinning wheels as possible.
…
Yuan family.
When Su Yueling learned the news that Wu Shilin's health was improving, she felt a little regretful.
Why didn't you just piss him off to death?
It doesn't matter, I didn't succeed this time, there will be another time.
Years later, when the Wu family discovers that the spinning wheel has become a ubiquitous thing, they will definitely be so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.
Putting aside the Wu family's affairs for the time being, Su Yueling paid more attention to her house.
After several months of hard work by a team of craftsmen and villagers, her four-bedroom house was finally completed before the 24th - only the garden and lake needed to be completed later in the year.
She can be regarded as the first big house in the world. The total area of the house is not the original three acres, but the total area has reached six acres. Because the house is larger, the construction period will continue to be delayed.
For the villagers in Lushan Village, the postponement of the construction period is actually a good thing. They took advantage of this period to work hard and save more or less money. Among them, the doctor with the most able-bodied family received a full twelve taels.
.In terms of money, Su Yueling has always provided timely payment, settling every ten days and never delaying payment.
After the house was completed, out of gratitude, they even took the initiative to help clean the house and the floor in front of the door, and flushed it several times with water. Everyone knew that Su Yueling had some germaphobia and could not see any dust.
After all, it cost Su Yueling more than 3,000 taels to enter the house. This was because the materials she used were very practical and the treatment she gave was not bad. The salary alone and the two meals provided every day totaled about 1,000 taels.
If it were someone else, three hundred taels would be enough to hire someone to make it.
The craftsmen went back happily with the rewards given by Su Yueling. They will also have a good year this year.
Su Yueling looked at the accounts and saw that all wages had been settled, and the total ledger was 3,438 taels.
She stared at 438 with a disgusted expression.
"I hate this number!"
Yuan Baoshu was a little confused, what's wrong with this number? Does my sister-in-law think it doesn't sound good?
Su Yueling had an idea. These people could be regarded as working for her. They worked harder than the workers who built her house in modern times. One person was worth two.
She ordered: "Take out one hundred and sixty-two taels of silver and go to the city to buy some things. How many households are there in total to build houses for us this time?"
Wu Shu said softly: "One hundred and fifty-six households."
"Well, including the craftsmen, the things bought back are divided into one hundred and eighty-six parts and given to them as year-end bonuses for them."
"Year-end bonus?" Yuan Baoshu didn't quite understand this unfamiliar word.
"It's a reward and recognition for their work. Anyway, I have to ask them to build my road next year."
Oh oh oh, Yuan Baoshu understood that her sister-in-law wanted to give them a gift to reward them for their hard work during this period.
She looked at Wu Shu and prepared to discuss with her what kind of things she should buy for the one hundred and sixty-two taels. Wu Shu had a gentle personality, was meticulous and thoughtful, and never acted out of others. Yuan Baoshu also liked her quite a lot.
Of course, her favorite is her sister-in-law. When others hire people to do work, it is enough if they can be paid enough. Not only does her sister-in-law pay them well and treat them well, she even gives them extra annual gifts.
I think other villagers will be very happy to receive this gift.
Although Wu Shu didn't say anything, her eyes looked at Su Yueling very softly. Su Yueling was really a completely different person from the Wu family. If the Wu family had made her accustomed to the evil people, then Su Yueling's existence made her believe in the world again.
There really is pure kindness.
[Wu Shu’s favorability for you is 65 - you are pure light.]
Huh?
Su Yueling glanced at Wu Shu in surprise, and received a gentle smile in response.
What did she do to make Wu Shu's favorability towards her so high? Speaking of which, Wu Shu's initial favorability towards her was very high, directly at 40, but now it has jumped to 65.
Alas, it seems that she is too lovable.
Because an increase in favorability is a good thing, Su Yueling didn't hesitate, but lowered her head and added something to her account book.
Year-end bonus: one hundred and sixty-two taels.
Total: three thousand six hundred taels.
Great, now it's an integer, it's still her lucky number 36, it's finally more pleasing to the eye.
