Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up

Shen Ping asked Hong Gu to stay calm and not go anywhere for the next two days until she came back from her parents' home.

"Madam~" Hong Gu's face was full of worry.

She didn't know what the lady had done, but she heard from her husband that the lady asked him to deliver a letter to Lord Zhang.

Thinking that the lady could say this, it must have been arranged in advance.

"Don't worry, it's okay! I guarantee that when you see your mother again, everything will be much better than before~" Shen Ping stopped there and didn't say anything else.

Although Hong Gu was anxious, she had no choice but to trust the lady.

Shen Ping prepared all the things for going back to her parents' home and asked Dadong to take her back early in the morning on the third day of the New Year.

Old Mrs. Ni had been waiting since early morning on the second day of the New Year, and waited until the evening when her son and daughter-in-law returned from their mother-in-law's house, but she still hadn't waited for her daughter Shen Ping, so she couldn't help but sigh.

"Mom, you only want her to go back to her parents' home. You forget that she is already a grandmother. Now Erya and Siya are married, and she has to wait at home for her daughter to come back." The eldest son Shen Dong comforted his mother.

"That's right. I guess she should be here early tomorrow morning!" The eldest daughter-in-law Tong also interrupted.

"Yes, yes, sister-in-law is right!" The second daughter-in-law, Mrs. Meng, also nodded in agreement.

After hearing this explanation from her son and daughter-in-law, Mrs. Ni felt much better.

The next morning, I got up early and waited again. I waited until the hour of Si, and finally Shen Ping arrived.

Old Mrs. Ni, who had been feeling listless, became more energetic immediately after seeing Shen Ping coming back, and she asked several of her daughters-in-law to come over for dinner.

This time, Shen Ping brought back a lot of things, including rice, flour, grain, oil, cloth, pork, chicken, etc. In addition, there were candies.

Shen Ping asked Dadong to move these things in.

"Why did you bring back so many things again?" Ni looked reproachful, but she was also happy in her heart.

When the brothers and sisters-in-law heard that Shen Ping was back, they hurried over. Seeing Dadong unloading things from the carriage, the second sister-in-law Meng quickly asked Shen Nan to go and help.

The third wife, Wei, quickly asked her husband Shen Bei to step forward.

But the fifth room's Cheng was not in a hurry. She smiled and said to Shen Ping, "Fourth aunt, come, let's go inside and sit down. It's cold outside. Let's have a cup of hot tea to warm ourselves up first."

Then, she came into the house and brought hot tea to Shen Ping. Unexpectedly, this sister-in-law was quite considerate today, and Shen Ping's mouth corners rose.

Seeing the four aunts bringing back so many things, Cheng felt like she was itching.

Just now she saw a piece of rose-red cloth. If she could make a new dress out of it, it would be so gorgeous. She had to think of a way to appease the mother-in-law.

"Fourth aunt, please talk to mother for a while. We will go to the kitchen to cook." Tong, the head of the first wife, said to Shen Ping.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, sisters-in-law!" Shen Ping said politely, then took out some candies and asked them to share them with her nephews and nieces.

I wonder if this fourth sister-in-law is now rich and generous. My sisters-in-law were very happy. They divided the candies equally and left some for my mother.

Shen Ping saw all of this and couldn't help but nod secretly.

Watching her sisters-in-law walk away, Shen Ping pulled her old mother into the room, and the mother and daughter began to exchange greetings.

"Mom, are you feeling okay?" Shen Ping looked at her mother carefully.

I didn't notice it just now, but now I look at my mother carefully and find that she looks much better than before. She has gained some flesh on her face, and her complexion looks rosy, and she looks ten years younger.

"Mom is fine! Your sisters-in-law treat her well now!" Ni became proud when she said this, and looked at Shen Ping with admiration: "This is all thanks to you!"

Ever since these four girls earned some money, they have not forgotten to support their brothers. Now the brothers can also earn some money, and life at home has become much better.

These daughters-in-law smiled more often and were more polite to their mother-in-law.

After talking for a while, Shen Ping took out 20 taels of silver and stuffed it into Ni's hand: "Mother, this is my filial piety to you."

Ni had never seen so much silver before. She felt that the silver was too hot to handle and waved her hands to push the silver back: "You should keep this much silver. I am old and cannot use it."

"Mom, I'm giving it to you, just accept it!" Shen Ping stuffed it into the hands of old Ni without saying anything.

"This~"

Old Ni hesitated and looked at Shen Ping: "Okay, I'll keep it for you. Whenever you need the money, just let me know."

Shen Ping didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This old lady still wanted to keep the money for her.

Shen Ping asked her to keep it by herself, and reminded her that the money was given to her and she could spend it however she wanted.

Mrs. Ni wanted to say something when footsteps were heard outside the door. Shen Ping quickly asked her mother to put the silver away.

No matter who comes, the money must not be exposed. If my brother and sister-in-law see it, they might get into trouble. This is the coffin money she gave to save her mother's life.

Having money in hand makes you feel at ease and gives you confidence.

Just as Old Ni put the money into her sleeve, Fifth Room Cheng came in and said, "Mother, Fourth Aunt, let's go out for lunch."

Old Ni nodded and said, "Okay, you go out first, we will be there soon."

Upon hearing this, Cheng quickly turned around and walked out. There was chicken and pork in the kitchen today, and several sisters-in-law were still in the kitchen. While she was away, who knew how much meat they would eat.

Seeing Cheng leave, old Mrs. Ni also breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly took out the key, tremblingly opened the cabinet beside the bed, and put 20 taels of silver in it.

After locking up the silver, Shen Ping helped her mother out.

At the dinner table, Shen Xi toasted Shen Ping: "Fourth sister, I toast you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know how to make money now!"

"Fourth brother is right, but it's all thanks to you." The eldest brother Shen Dong also nodded.

It turned out that over the past year or so, the brothers had taken on quite a few projects and helped several wealthy families build several large houses, all using Shen Ping's design drawings.

Just from these mansions, each of the brothers earned nearly 50 taels of silver.

The furniture was also tailor-made according to the design drawings drawn by Shen Ping. In addition, a lot of business was attracted and a cooperative relationship was reached with Carpenter Li.

When dividends were distributed at the end of the year, Shen Bei, who received the least, received more than ten or twenty taels of silver based on commission.

It is no exaggeration to say that we brothers had a prosperous year.

Listening to her elder brother's story, Shen Ping felt happy for them from the bottom of her heart, even though she couldn't help them in any way.

What they produce is just the design draft, but the most important thing is to rely on themselves. It is also their ability to get engineering and furniture business.

Shen Ping smiled and said, "What I want to say is that the most important thing is that when brothers work together, they can achieve great things." If you brothers can work together well, this is the key to making money.

If everyone was suspicious of each other, like a pile of loose sand, each doing their own thing, we wouldn't be in this situation today." Shen Ping said.

Fortunately, my brothers from my mother’s side were able to work together, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to help even if I wanted to.
