Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

Chapter 472 Settlement Matters

During this period, the old couple saved a lot of monthly allowances and bonuses. The red envelope given by the county lady for the New Year was even more generous, so they were able to add some dowry to their daughter.

The old couple eats three meals a day in the store and wears custom-made clothes there, two sets a year. The clothes are made of fine cotton, so they don't have to buy clothes anymore.

The old couple bought a small house with more than one entrance, which cost them some money and made them tight on money for a while. However, as their monthly allowance came in, plus the New Year bonuses, they had little to spend and soon saved up a lot of money.

The two were content with their current situation and only hoped to give their daughter more dowry.

The daughter is also filial, and the son and daughter are the same. The old couple will not favor the son too much.

As for my son’s betrothal gift, I can save up for it after my daughter gets married.

Judging from the look of his son, he probably won't get married too early. As long as the three of them work hard, they won't have to worry about not being able to save up enough for a generous dowry.

Xiao Wan entrusted the affairs of the workshop to her third uncle and aunt, and asked Zhao Lizheng to help supervise the workers so that her third uncle and aunt would not be able to control them.

Zhao Lizheng is still very authoritative in the village, and his heart is very fair and just. Xiao Wan also respects this headman who works hard for the villagers.

When Zhao Lizheng learned that Xiao Wan was leaving for the capital, he couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

"Wan girl, how are you going to open a shop in Beijing? What will happen to your family if you leave?"

Xiao Wan hurriedly comforted her, not wanting the old man to worry at such an old age.

"Grandpa Lizheng, I've already arranged for the shopkeeper to look after my shop and other things. The young people in our village will do it the same way they did in the past. As for the potato workshop in the village, it's an important economic pillar for me and our village, so I won't leave it alone."

Zhao Lizheng didn't understand what the economic pillar meant. He just felt that it meant a very important source of income for Xiao Wan and the villagers.

His heart calmed down temporarily and he continued to listen to Xiao Wan.

"My father often travels around to teach people how to grow potatoes, so his energy is limited and he can't take care of the workshop anymore. I'll leave it to my third uncle and aunt. They have experience, after all, they've been involved in the entire process from the establishment to the operation of the workshop."

"The workshop's wages and benefits will be guaranteed to be paid normally. And most importantly, with you, the head of the village and head of the village, looking after the workshop, I have nothing to worry about."

Seeing that Zhao Lizheng's brows had relaxed, Xiao Wan continued with a smile, "It's not like I won't be back, so don't worry."

"It's just that I've been tired of you helping to look after the workshop. An old man in the family is like a treasure. You are the anchor of the village. I have to pack you some snacks and a few jars of good wine. I can't let you down."

Zhao Lizheng's face was filled with joy after hearing what Xiao Wan said.

"You girl, you only know how to coax me, an old man. If you think highly of me, an old man like me, I will take good care of him. Thank you, girl, for finding such a long-term job for the villagers. I thank you on behalf of the villagers."

Zhao Lizheng's anxiety and worry were put aside. Knowing that Xiao Wan was not going to abandon her, he felt much more at ease.

But he also knew that with Xiao Wan's ability, she would never stay in this Kaoshan Village for her entire life. Just saying that he vaguely knew about the family of the great general Zhao Wu had already clearly shown his intention to marry into the Xiao family.

In the future, Xiao Wan will not only be a county lady, but also the future general's wife of the Yuan Dynasty, a noble among nobles.

Fortunately, Miss Wan is a kind-hearted person, and Jiyun City is her fiefdom. As long as the people do not do evil, she will definitely protect the people in Kaoshan Village.

After some arrangements, the matters concerning the workshop and the hot pot restaurant were temporarily settled. As for Qilixiang's shops in Jiyun City and Yuntai Town, Xiao Wan directly changed the title deeds to Xiao Zhener's name and gave them to her.

Xiao Zhen'er refused firmly, but Xiao Wan became even more stubborn, so she had to accept it with a blushing face.

But in his heart, he secretly promised that he would leave a portion of the money earned from the store for his sister, pay the household expenses, and only keep a small portion for himself.

Her younger sister gave her hope and confidence for a new life, and she accepted it. Since they were sisters, there was no need to say more.

When Xiao Wan saw her sister accept the deed to the shop, she felt a lot more relieved.

My sister has suffered a lot. She used to do a lot of work at home, and after she got married, she met people like the Zheng family. Her life is more bitter than coptis chinensis.

I gave the shop to my eldest sister, so that she would have confidence even if she really married Doctor Zhang in the future.

She knew Dr. Zhang's background and that he was the son of an official family, but he was obsessed with medicine, so she chose to study medicine.
