As Yao Shu expected, good news soon came to Huangshi Village. Village Chief Chu took office and became Chief Chu.

The village chief also made a special trip to discuss the matter of seeking help from Chief Chu. It didn't take long for the situation to gradually improve.

During the promotion banquet of Chief Chu Li, many people came to congratulate him. When they saw the Dikengyuan where Mr. Chu Li’s family lived, they had to ask a few questions. After listening to Mr. Chu’s recommendation of Dikengyuan, they found it. To Dahe Village.

Everyone hopes to have a strong house.

After going back and forth like this, the business of Dahezhuang Dikengyuan gradually recovered. They have real skills and their craftsmanship is beyond words, and the business will naturally get better and better.

With money in the account, everyone's life will not get better and better.

Yao Shu kept more and more accounts in her hand. When she had some free time, she calculated the accounts carefully, and then discovered that the money they earned through Dikengyuan had exceeded fifty taels.

Of course, not all the money earned belongs to the Shen family, but they still earn a lot.

And this is a steady stream of business, and there will definitely continue to be money coming in from time to time.

Yao Shu looked at the account book, and she couldn't help but think of Shen Bei. She wanted to convince the other party of losing this time.

She happened to be sitting in front of the window. When she opened the window, she saw Shen Bei lying on the rocking chair in the yard. He had his legs crossed and looked very leisurely.

"Third brother, come here."

"Mom, what's going on?"

Shen Bei sat upright suddenly. He was called out by Yao Shu. He was very panicked. Didn't he commit something else recently?

He has done nothing but work lately.

"You already know when you come here, why are you still dawdling?"

Everyone is at home, and everyone knows that Yao Shu doesn't want to cause trouble. After all, other people don't have much to do with it.

It was also because the Shen family was somewhat aloof, and they were afraid that someone would have wrong ideas after seeing the family making a lot of money.

Although Shen Bei was panicking, he still walked quickly to Yao Shu. He did not dare to make his mother angry by lingering any longer.

"Look at this."

Yao Shu handed over the account book. She looked at Shen Bei leisurely while holding her tea, looking forward to what kind of expression he would have next.

But what happened next made Yao Shu unprepared. She spit out the tea she just drank and spoke to Shen Bei at a high volume.

"What did you say?"

"I can't read."

Shen Bei simply broke the jar and loudly expressed his current embarrassment.

Yes, none of the Shen family can read. Their family used to live a very tight life. Of course, they had no money to send their children to study and become literate, so all of the Shen family were illiterate.

This is true, Yao Shu helplessly stretched out her hands to cover her face. How could she have forgotten this? If she had thought of this earlier, she would definitely let everyone read and practice calligraphy in their free time.

Although the cost of reading and literacy is not small, the money should not be saved. Money should be spent wisely.

There was no rush for this, she could discuss it with her family later. Yao Shu quickly returned to the topic. Since Shen Bei couldn't understand, she could only read out the contents of the account book.

"If you have a unique skill in your hand, don't think about making a one-time deal. Long-term business is the most profitable. Do you still feel that you did not make a mistake?"

Don't think she doesn't know that Shen Bei has never been convinced about the purchase and sale of Dikengyuan blueprints and thinks he has done a good job.

Shen Bei lowered his head silently, the fact was right in front of him, and he couldn't bear to deny it, so he said in a low voice.

"I know I was wrong."

This time he was convinced, instead of being perfunctory like before.

"What are your plans for the future?"

She also knew that by admitting her mistake, she was not hopelessly stupid, and it was not in vain that she had spent so much effort. Yao Shu was still looking forward to completely straightening the crooked seedlings.

If Shen Bei was asked what he thought first, and then she would help him come up with ideas, he could almost make the other party stand up.

These words fell into Shen Bei's ears, but were misunderstood to mean something else. He immediately panicked. Wasn't it just because he made such a small mistake that he would be kicked out of the house?

Otherwise, why would he suddenly be asked about his future plans? Shen Bei still remembered Yao Shu's previous warning that if he refused to change despite repeated admonitions, he would be kicked out of the house.

But he has been very honest recently. His mother can't be so cruel. If he is really kicked out, it will be fine. He probably won't even be able to eat white rice. He quickly cried and begged for mercy.

"Mom, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. Just give me another chance and don't kick me out."

"What are you talking about? Why don't you let go now."

Yao Shu pushed hard, but didn't push Shen Bei away who was holding her calf.

"I won't, unless you promise not to kick me out."

"Why did I kick you out? If you want to live alone, I won't stop you."

She had no idea of ​​"separating the family even if her parents were together", and even wished that the Shen Qiu brothers could separate their families so that she could live a leisurely life, but that time had not come yet.

"No, I don't want to."

Shen Bei quickly denied that he had absolutely no such idea.

"Okay, let's get down to business. I don't think you want to farm. What are you going to do to support yourself in the future?"

Yao Shu said seriously.

It's no wonder that she took the trouble to ask Shen Bei what he thought. Shen Bei is the most petty person among the Shen brothers. If he doesn't lead people to the right path, he will definitely suffer big losses in the future. If he doesn't do it well, his family will be hurt.

Feeling Yao Shu's seriousness, Shen Bei also put away his playful smile. He stood aside in silence for a long time before answering in a low voice.

"I want to do business and be a big shopkeeper."

Even though Shen Bei often hangs out, he hasn't gone very far and has limited knowledge. The only decent businessman he can think of is the shopkeeper.

He looked at Yao Shu's expression carefully, fearing to make his mother angry.

These days, scholars, farmers, and merchants, especially those doing small business, are the most likely to be looked down upon.

"It's good if you have an idea. You can do business without stealing or robbing. If you want to be big, you can do it. But have you thought about what kind of business you want to do? You don't have the capital to become a big shopkeeper right now."

Yao Shu guided Shen Bei step by step and had a clear goal before he could act.

"Don't know yet."

Shen Bei wilted instantly. A good opportunity was placed in front of him, but he failed to seize it. He had never thought about this matter deeply before, always feeling that it could not be done and his parents would not agree.

Seeing his dejected look, Yao Shu softened her tone. After all, Shen Bei was still young, not yet eighteen years old.

"It's okay, think about it slowly, unless you have a family business, didn't all the big shopkeepers start out as small vendors?"
