Chapter 116: The fastest way to make money at 116 is luck.

However, having just learned from Zhao that Ye Lao’s family actually possessed a hundred taels of silver, that was not the most surprising part. The most shocking thing was that these hundred taels of silver were earned by their daughter, Xiaojiu, who had been senseless for more than a decade and had only recovered a few days ago.

This inevitably caught his interest, and he wanted to inquire further.

“Uncle Cheng, I just heard from my younger sister-in-law that the money at home was earned by sister Xiaojiu?” The Clan Leader pondered for a while before speaking.

Ye Lao didn’t plan to hide it anymore and repeated the excuse that Xiaojiu had used.

Originally, he had wanted to find out what methods could make money so quickly, but after he actually found out, the Clan Leader had no choice but to give up.

In this world, the fastest way to make money was undoubtedly luck, but not everyone could have it.

At least, he had lived for several decades, and combining the fortunes of everyone in the village, they didn’t match the prosperity of Xiaojiu.

Outside the door, after Xiaojiu delivered another twenty taels to the main house, she sat down at the place where they dried the soap and pondered.

Ye Gaosheng thought she was upset because the silver was all gone, so he came over and patted her shoulder, comforting her, “Little sister, don’t be sad. After we eat, I’ll go up the mountain to find some more stones, and then we’ll continue making molds. We’ll make more soap, and once we sell it, we’ll have money. We’ll definitely earn back your hundred taels of silver.”

“Pfft…” Xiaojiu laughed, “Earn back the silver all for me? Can you manage that?”

“Heh.” Ye Gaosheng gave an embarrassed laugh, “I can’t decide that for you, but later, all the silver we earn will be kept by mom. There’s no difference whether it’s with her or with you.”

“What about when you get married later? Both older brothers are managing their own homes. Don’t you want that?” Xiaojiu deliberately asked Ye Gaosheng.

“Of course not, managing a household is tiring. Thinking about this, arranging that every day, where is the joy in that? Now, I only need to work and eat; everything else is decided by our parents,” Ye Gaosheng replied without even thinking.

“What if your future sister-in-law doesn’t agree with letting mom manage?” Xiaojiu asked.

“She wouldn’t dare. I’m marrying a wife to honor our parents, not to serve a queen,” Ye Gaosheng answered.

Xiaojiu saw that when Ye Gaosheng said this, Mrs. He, who had not smiled all day, stood at the kitchen door and smirked, clearly satisfied with Ye Gaosheng’s thinking.

If this were in his previous life, Ye Gaosheng would be a classic mama’s boy, but in this era, this was the standard rule.

Looking at the innocent Ye Gaosheng, Xiaojiu also laughed.

Even if what he said now was false, it didn’t matter. As long as it could make mom happy, that was enough.

During lunch, while accompanying the Clan Leader, Ye Lao drank a few more cups. Perhaps because of his age, he couldn’t handle his liquor anymore and went to lie down on the Kang after two extra cups.

As the eldest son, Ye Gaoshi saw the Clan Leader out. When he returned, Mrs. He was already tallying the household items and preparing to divide the grain and livestock.

Watching this scene, Ye Gaosheng felt stifled and turned to leave.

Xiaojiu held him back, “The family is being divided, and you have a share. Why are you running off when you should be watching over things at home?”

“Mom is here, isn’t she? If mom divides, there won’t be mistakes. Whether I’m here or not doesn’t matter. I’d rather go to the mountain to find stones,” Ye Gaosheng said.

“The soap hasn’t been sold yet, and we don’t know the situation. We’re not making molds for now. Just go help mom. Later, we have to go to Brother Gaolin’s house to get wooden boxes,” Xiaojiu said.
