The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 321 The eldest sister gets married
The eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month is auspicious and suitable for getting married.

Xiahe Village, which has been festive recently, is especially festive today. All the villagers, young and old, gathered at the east end of the village, some helping to prepare the banquet, some chatting, and the children jumping and playing, making it very lively and noisy.

Ding Fuguang and his wife, Huang the shopkeeper, Wang Mian and Liu the boss also sent their stewards to come forward to congratulate them.

Many families in the city also came to congratulate.

They all gathered in the main room to drink tea and chat.

The Meng family's wedding procession entered the village in a lively and noisy atmosphere, and those who were on the lookout hurried back to report.

"The Meng family is here with a bridal sedan!"

When everyone heard this, they all rushed to the village entrance to watch the excitement.

Speaking of which, among the villages within a dozen miles who had bridal sedan chairs to welcome the bride, apart from the one that had met with Patriarch Fan, the only one that had a bridal sedan chair was when Li Rongzong got married last year. Unexpectedly, the Meng family also rented a bridal sedan chair today!
The entrance of Li's house was prepared early. When the team approached, firecrackers were set off with a crackling sound, making a bright and acrid sound.

Li Rongzhang, Li Rongfeng, Li Ronghua, Li Rongtan and a few other kids from various families in the clan quickly closed the door.

Considering that the Meng family were not scholars, even if Li Rongzhang wanted to make things difficult for them, he couldn't use the method of writing poems and couplets. He just had to follow the customs of the surrounding villages and make them fetch water, chop firewood, and carry rice. It was really difficult and took a long time.

Seeing that the auspicious time was almost right, Li Rongzhang finally relaxed and allowed the outsider to give him the red envelope so that he could enter.

The people from the Meng family grabbed a handful of red seals and stuffed them in. The boys divided them one by one, and then they opened the door and let them in.

The wedding party surrounded Meng Dongsheng, who was wearing a big red flower on his chest, and led him inside. The bridal sedan followed behind and was carried all the way to the front of the main hall.

Meng Dongsheng brought today's wedding gifts into the main hall to meet Li Jihe and Song.

Li Xiangli, wearing a big red veil, was also carried out of the boudoir by Li Rongyu, into the main room, where she stood on the red felt and kowtowed to her parents and bid farewell to them.

Then Li Rongyu carried her to the bridal sedan chair.

They are all brothers, and Li Rongzong is the eldest brother. However, Li Rongyu and Li Xiangli are twins, a boy and a girl. When Li Xiangli gets married, it will be better for Li Rongyu to carry her on his back.

Li Rongzong watched his elder sister getting married with tears in his eyes. It was his second brother who carried his elder sister on his back. In his heart, he was thinking that since his second brother would carry his elder sister, he would be waiting to carry his second sister, and at that time, his second brother would not be able to snatch her from him.

Li Rongzhang: What about me? I want to carry my second sister!
Li Rongzong: You are so small, get out of here!

Li Rongzhang: Humph! Big brother is bullying others.

The bridal sedan was lifted up, music and drums began again, and the front of the Li family's door was bustling with activity.

The wedding procession returned in a grand manner, and this time there were many more people from the bride's side in the procession.

Uncle Song, Uncle Song II and their families, Li Jifu, Li Jigui and their families, as well as Li Jizu and his wife, Mrs. Fan.

Li Jihe and Song Shi could not go. They watched the sedan chair go away with tears in their eyes. After pouring out a basin of water, they hurried back to greet the guests.

Although they are marrying off their daughter, there are many guests today, including people from the clan and village, so a lively banquet is inevitable.

Shi Liu watched her elder sister get into the bridal sedan and saw her elder brother-in-law's face full of joy. She felt relieved and went back to greet Wang and the others.

Song was naturally very worried about her first daughter getting married. But when she finally got home from work on the third day, she heaved a sigh of relief when she saw her daughter's rosy face for the first time.

After a conversation, Song took Li Xiangli back to her room to talk to her in private, "Is your son-in-law good to you? How does your mother-in-law treat you?"

Li Xiangli blushed and said, "My husband is very good to me, and my mother-in-law is also very good to me. She didn't let me cook on the morning of the second day of our wedding, and it was the same afterwards.

My father-in-law told me and my husband to move into the house in the city after the New Year. Their porcelain shop in the city will open after the New Year, and my husband will be the manager when the time comes."

When Song heard that her son-in-law was kind to her daughter, and that her in-laws wanted the young couple to live in the city after the New Year, she nodded secretly.

At that time, she had asked her daughter-in-law to go to the city with her son, and only took her back to take good care of her when she became pregnant. Now it is almost the New Year, and after the New Year, she will still let her daughter-in-law go to the city to live with her son. The Meng family also did this, and they are open-minded and harmonious parents-in-law.

At the moment, it seems that Xiangli made the right choice in her marriage.

Song couldn't help but feel relieved, and she took her daughter aside and talked to her in private.

I kept the young couple for lunch and then sent them away.

At night, Li Jihe asked about Song, and was relieved to know that his daughter was living a good life after marriage.

On the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, the workers of the Qinghe Workshop and the Milk Piece Workshop received their wages for the month, as well as New Year gifts, and had a lively big-pot banquet. Then they officially went on New Year leave, and did not return to work until the sixth day of the New Year.

The workers of the Sheep Workshop had a holiday on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month. In addition to their wages and New Year gifts, they also received a big red envelope compared to other people. This was what Shi Liu had promised them before.

In the past two months, the workers of the Sheep Workshop have been working overtime and very hard. They have lived up to expectations and delivered three batches of goods to Liu Dongjia.

We still had a lively meal. After returning home today, we will go back to work on the sixth day after the New Year.

That afternoon, Jiang Bingjiang and other managers including Lu Dong came to report the annual accounts of the year to Shi Liu with a thick stack of account books.

The meeting lasted until the evening. With Wei Feng, the human computer, all the account books were clearly visible, making it less troublesome to sort out the accounts.

At the end, when Shi Liu saw the total account, he raised his eyebrows greatly.

This year, the net income of the food workshops (including the food workshops in Dazaozhuang and Erlizhuang) reached more than 30,000 taels.

The net profit from wool products reached more than 30,000 taels.

The net profit of the two children's playhouses reached more than 10,000 taels.

The net income of the medicinal food restaurants in the provincial capital and several counties reached more than 15,000 taels.

The total net profit of the sugar shops from the time they opened in April to the end of the year reached more than 8,000 taels.

The total amount of these accounts is a full 100,000 taels!
This year, she earned 100,000 taels. What does that mean?
He is really rich in this area!

How far are you from being the richest man?
Shi Liu thought that if these accounts increased fifty times, that might be what Liu Dongjia earned in this year.

I couldn't help but suppress this excitement silently.

What is one hundred thousand taels? It’s still a long way to become the richest man.

Even though Liu Dongjia has dozens of times more money than her, he is just the richest man in Bingzhou.

Of course, that was before working with her.

I heard this year that the Liu family is about to surpass the Wen family, the richest family in Dajin.

I think if they can continue to maintain this for another one or two years, it won't be a problem for the Liu family to surpass the Wen family and become the new richest family in Dajin.

Therefore, the richest man in Dajin = earning at least fifty times one hundred thousand taels per year.

Think about it again, the 100,000 taels she had were pitifully small and not even worth mentioning. They were not even enough for the richest man to buy two collectibles with a single wave of his hand.

Her dream of becoming the richest person still requires a lot of hard work!
But for her now, earning 100,000 taels a year is also something to be excited about.

Pomegranate was silent for only a moment and then continued to be happy.

Well, she is really amazing!
