Transmigration: Becoming the Wicked Stepmother of Four Children

Chapter 233 My Heart is Filled with Emotion

In the days that followed, Lu Qingqing became increasingly busy.

She went up the mountain almost every day.

That land where purple ginseng is grown

It seemed to hold her entire heart and soul.

She was like a dutiful guardian.

We closely monitor every single growth change of the Purple Ginseng.

Time slipped away quietly in her hurried footsteps.

I observed them like this for over a month.

It is gratifying that,

The growth of the purple ginseng is even better than expected.

The originally delicate seedlings gradually grew stronger.

The leaves are becoming increasingly emerald green.

The rhizomes also extend steadily into the soil.

Seeing this scene,

Lu Qingqing's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally began to relax.

A long-lost relaxed smile appeared on his face.

During this month,

Besides Purple Spirit Ginseng

Other industries in the village are also developing in an orderly manner.

The factory was bustling with activity.

The workers were busy at their tasks with practiced ease.

They produced quite a few schoolbags and raincoats.

It is worth mentioning that, in terms of expanding sales channels,

Lu Qingqing didn't have to put in the slightest effort.

We rely entirely on Li Xiuming.

With the help of the county magistrate's brother.

I don't know what method Li Xiuming used.

It was like a spell had been cast.

People kept coming to our door to buy it.

At the factory gate,

Merchants came and went in an endless stream.

Orders kept coming in one after another.

The workers responsible for receiving guests were kept extremely busy.

After Lu Qingqing learned of this situation,

My heart was filled with joy.

She understood immediately, and people started coming to her to place orders.

It's much better than going out and running around selling things yourself.

It saves manpower and resources and improves efficiency.

As for what methods Li Xiuming used to accomplish this...

Lu Qingqing didn't ask, and Li Xiuming didn't bring it up either.

She guessed that, given Li Xiuming's status as the county magistrate's brother,

Perhaps he used his connections in official circles.

Or perhaps through other channels,

In short, the result was good, and that's enough.

Because the cultivation of Ziling ginseng is overseen by Lin Qingshan and two village chiefs.

The factory also has the help of Second Brother and Brother Dashan in management.

After Aunt Liu and Aunt Li finished their teaching duties,

They all went to the factory to help out.

Lu Qingqing can finally have some free time.

She sat comfortably in her own yard.

Sunlight filters through the dappled leaves.

It creates patches of light and shadow.

Chunlan tiptoed over.

Handing over a steaming cup of flower tea,

The aroma of tea wafts gently, lingering around the nose.

Lu Qingqing took the flower tea, took a small sip,

A refreshing sweetness immediately spread in my mouth.

She looked up.

Xiahe and Qiuju were accompanying Shuang'er as she looked at medical books.

The three heads huddled together.

They would also exchange a few words from time to time.

Shuang'er pointed to a spot in the book,

With a face full of doubt, Xia He asked, and Xia He patiently answered.

Qiuju nodded occasionally from the side.

He would occasionally offer his own insights.

Seeing this, Lu Qingqing smiled knowingly.

"Qingqing, what's making you so happy?"

"Quickly tell your sister-in-law."

Hearing the voices, Lu Qingqing turned her head.

It was Wang Xiuxiu, the second sister-in-law, holding the account book in one hand.

She walked over, supporting her slightly protruding belly with one hand.

Dongmei followed closely behind, carrying a small box.

Lu Qingqing smiled and stood up to greet her second sister-in-law.

Second sister-in-law, look at them.

He learned medical skills quite well.

"Maybe they can all become female doctors someday."

Wang Xiuxiu followed Lu Qingqing's gaze.

I couldn't help but laugh.

"That's right, Shuang'er is a smart child."

Several girls stayed with her, so they could have something to discuss.

As she spoke, she waved the ledger in her hand.

"Qingqing, these are the factory's account books for the past few days."

I have calculated it carefully.

Backpacks and raincoats have been selling well lately.

We made a considerable profit.

Lu Qingqing took the ledger and carefully examined it.

His eyes were full of joy.

"Second sister-in-law, you've really worked hard."

The accounts are kept very clear.

Wang Xiuxiu said with a smile:

"What hardship is it for me to write a few words?"

You, on the other hand, must have been exhausted lately.

They've clearly lost a lot of weight.

My dear, what about the wages of the workers in our factory?

I have distributed them as you requested.

Aunt Zhang, Sister Liu, Aunt Li, and Dashan

They put a lot of effort into the production.

His daily wage was five coins more than others.

They are all very grateful to you.

A relieved smile appeared on Lu Qingqing's face.

"They are all people who have helped our family."

They deserve a reward.

And they were all very dedicated.

It's only right that they get paid more.

Second sister-in-law, you handled this very well.

I knew I could have entrusted this to you.

Wang Xiuxiu said with a smile

"Qingqing,

This is our factory's profit for this month.

They're all in this box.

She gently patted the small box that Dongmei was holding beside her.

His eyes were filled with joy and pride.

Dongmei immediately stepped forward, holding the small box, and whispered...

"Miss, the Second Madam just asked me to help her get some things."

I didn't even ask what it was; it turned out to be a box of silver.

Miss, why don't we go back inside and take a look?

It's not safe in the yard.

As Dongmei spoke, she glanced around a couple of times.

Those adorable little expressions made Lu Qingqing and Wang Xiuxiu extremely happy.

But they also knew the importance of not flaunting their wealth.

So they all followed and walked into the room.

As soon as she entered the room, Wang Xiuxiu gently closed the door.

Smiling, he said to Lu Qingqing:

"This Dongmei girl is quite vigilant."

Lu Qingqing nodded with a smile.

"Dongmei has always been a very thoughtful child."

Dongmei gently placed the box on the table.

So they went to stand guard at the door on their own initiative.

Lu Qingqing slowly opened the box.

The gleaming silver inside immediately came into view.

The reflected light made the room even brighter.

"Second sister-in-law, we've made such a big profit this month!"

Wang Xiuxiu said with a smile

"Qingqing, this is all thanks to the magistrate's help."

Otherwise, we might not have been able to sell so many.

The total value of the silver and silver notes here is 32,000 taels of silver.

Lu Qingqing clicked her tongue slightly and sighed:

"Brother, you're really awesome!"

Second sister-in-law, it's not safe for us to keep so much silver.

I think,

How about we start distributing the profits tonight?

Let's make everyone happy.

Wang Xiuxiu's eyes lit up.

"Qingqing, that's a great idea!"

To be honest, I carry this box of silver around every day...

I can't even sleep soundly.

This is the first time in my life I've ever seen so much silver.

As Wang Xiuxiu spoke, she gently patted her chest.

It's as if mentioning that heavy piece of silver at this moment...

Still feeling scared.

Lu Qingqing smiled understandingly.

Second sister-in-law, I understand how you feel.

Such a large sum of money does make one uneasy.

Subsequently,

Lu Qingqing and Wang Xiuxiu divided the money into six portions.

Li San and his son received one-tenth of the taels, which is three thousand two hundred taels.

They have always been dedicated to producing fabrics.

This compensation is well-deserved;

Uncle Lin Feng also received 10%, or 3,200 taels.

Managing recruitment and all matters related to personnel in the factory,

He worked tirelessly, and he deserved it;

Lin Erzhu also received 10%, 3,200 taels.

During this period, my second brother was busy with factory management and various miscellaneous tasks.

Their contributions are also indispensable;

Originally, Lu Qingqing wanted to share more with them.

But Wang Xiuxiu absolutely refused to comply.

They said they only wanted this one tenth.

Lin Qingshan also received 10%, or 3,200 taels.

As a key figure in the cultivation of Ziling ginseng.

He deserves his share of that amount.

Then, Lu Qingqing took out an additional 6,500 taels of silver.

This was prepared by her for Li Xiuming.

Li Xiuming, as the county magistrate

Although it's said to help the factory make money faster,

However, it is still not easy to get a share of the profits in name only.

Therefore, the 6,500 taels were simply a filial offering from the sworn sister to her sworn brother.

After such allocation,

The rest is all Lu Qingqing's share.

She has 12,700 taels of silver.

Lu Qingqing looked at the divided silver coins in front of her.

I was filled with emotion; I never imagined that in such a short time...

Finally, he earned money again with his schoolbag and raincoat.
