Chapter 719 It's Best to Exploit Children Early!

You guys taking turns to demand payment and then quitting your jobs together, even a good person would be exasperated!”Everyone lowered their heads, scolded and ashamed. For a moment, they felt the gu...The Emperor, though furious, couldn't truly kill his own foolish daughter. He could only let things run their course.

As for the Empress, she came to see me under the pretense of seeking justice for her daughter.

Unfortunately, when the emperor thought of how she had gone to great lengths to trick him into "making a child," he was displeased and didn't see her at all...

Jia Yin may not know these things, and even if she did, she wouldn't care.

The Third Princess was simply unfit for business. She expected everyone else to contribute while refusing to spend a single penny herself. Every day, she acted as if her royal status made her superior to all others.

The Bao family is now so broke, how could they not cheat her.

Even though she didn't see the branch's accounts, Baiyunjian had records of the branch's purchases.

A quick calculation shows that the branch's profit is around six or seven hundred taels, while Baojia only recorded over a hundred taels on paper. It's really unconscionable...

Time flies as we exchange New Year gifts,

The New Year's gift from the Liu family was also sent by Jiren and his brothers.

Mr. Liu particularly liked the children from the Li family. He kept them for a meal, gave each of them a jade pendant, and then let them go home with even richer gifts.

Because Chen's family had caused trouble before, Guo Wenhao had brought servants to help.

Li Jia specially prepared a New Year's gift for him as well.

Guo Wenhao was filial and reluctant to visit in person, so he entrusted Mr. Wen to return two good sheets of paper, a set of famous pens, and some poultry and fish as food.

It has to be said, even a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

The Guo family had fallen, but they still had some resources. At least this good paper and famous pen were hard to find outside.

On the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, Jia Yin discussed with her brothers and decided to give Zheng He, Zheng Feng, Shui Ling, Shui Yun, and several young servants like Zheng Er a holiday.

Only Zheng Sanjiang was unwilling to return to the village, so he volunteered to stay behind and help manage the relief office.

Li La Er and Jia Ren and several of their brothers, privately gave red envelopes to their own men, rewarding them for their hard work and loyalty over the year.

Jia Yin also gave Shui Ling and Shui Yun each a set of silver jewelry, a box of exquisite palace flowers made in the palace, plus new padded jackets and skirts made at home, and a heavy ten taels of silver ingots.

They had enough to go home in style for the New Year.

Ye Shan and Hong Mei were both dressed in brand new clothes from head to toe. Hong Mei also had a set of delicate but understated gold jewelry.

As the master and mistress, they represented their lord and followed Zheng He and others to Zheng's estate.

In addition, he also brought over ten or so baskets of fruit, an entire pig, several dozen boxes of pastries, and a good amount of rice and noodles, along with two hundred taels of silver.

This is for all the householders of Zhengjiazhuang, as a reward for their work this year. No matter the reason, listen to everything you are told.

When Yéshan and Dongmei returned, they also brought the filial piety of all the households from Zhengjiacun.

Besides a large amount of wild game and furs, there were also some intricate small mechanical gadgets.

For example, a more labor-saving and convenient egg beater, an extendable dagger, or a mechanical hand that can help people climb walls like Spiderman and walk on flat ground...

Jiayin's joyful mood soured, she spent a long time tinkering with her brother, and finally gave them both to Jiashi and Jia'an.

Now, almost everyone in the family except Lao Tai Li knows that Jiaxi and Ji'an are going to go abroad after they grow up.

Jia Yin would spend every evening in the space, doing nothing else but taking care of her two brothers.

Besides various medicinal herbs, poisons and tonics, which were essential, she searched the space meticulously, like a carpet, uncovering everything that could be useful.

Since this spacetime is almost an identical parallel space to the ancient times of the past life.

And all the locations of those foreign countries should also be roughly the same.

Therefore, she paid close attention to the world map from her past life and meticulously recreated it.

A compass she had bought as a child to play with was also found by her from a broken box in the attic...

And she also knew, from what she had heard in her past life, about the habits and preferences of foreigners.

She even drew up diagrams of firearms, cannons, and some important plants and supplies.

Now, with the mechanical claws and "heart-seeking" dagger sent by Zhengjiazhuang, there are two more points of help.

Actually, even so, she was still worried about her brothers.

If she could, she would love to go adventuring with them.

Unfortunately, this idea is simply impossible to realize.

Her brothers had gone out, leaving her by herself. Perhaps after a while, grandma's mood eased.

But if she went to sea too, Grandma would probably go mad with worry...

Time flew by in a flurry of activity, and finally, the 29th day arrived.

This year, there's no thirtieth. Twenty-ninth is the last day of the old year.

Every household woke up early and was busy preparing ingredients for the big feast in the late afternoon.

And dumplings at midnight are also the highlight.

The mischievous boys ran around the village, causing trouble from time to time. Their antics made their mothers shout at them, but they couldn't be scolded or beaten.

But the little girls from each family were obediently following behind their mothers, helping out with a few tasks.

But things were different when they arrived at Li's house.

Jia Yin also snuck into the kitchen, claiming to be helping out.

Actually, she was holding a small bowl and eating non-stop.

In the end, Tao Hongying still snatched the girl's bowl and drove her out.

"You little glutton, you can't eat anymore. If you keep eating, you won't have an appetite for dinner! Go and chat with your grandma and the others, cheer them up!"

Jia Yin reluctantly held her belly and moved out of the kitchen.

Although the banquet was set, she could sit down and eat openly as much as she wanted.

But she just felt that the food tasted the best when she secretly ate it in the kitchen!

In her past life, she lived with her grandparents.

Grandparents had strict rules, almost forbidding her from eating anywhere besides the dinner table.

Later, I still went home with my college dormmate from the same city. Seeing my roommate in the kitchen, chatting and laughing with her parents while secretly eating, occasionally stuffing some food into her mouth.

Only then did she realize that food could be eaten this way, and it was so fragrant, so happy!

In this lifetime, she more than made up for that regret...

Li Laotai was chatting with Wu Daniu, cracking melon seeds. Wenjuan and Mrs. Wen sat opposite them, these two precious darlings under close protection.

Mrs. Hui and Liu's wife were both busy in the kitchen, while their three mischievous children were left under the care of the old woman.

The mischievous child ran around playing, bumping and stumbling, nearly colliding with Mrs. Wen and Wen Juan several times.

Jia Yin ran into the room and, seeing this, decisively took on the role of the child king.

She took out two bananas and beckoned the mischievous children to share them.

But how can three children divide two bananas equally

So, the three naughty children sat in a circle, drooling and eagerly watching Jia Yin. They would occasionally hear her exclaim, “Oh, this piece has grown longer, wait a moment, sister will bite you a mouthful!”

Finally, the two bananas, one went into Jiayin's belly, and the three mischievous children each took a short piece, thinking it was fair, giggling as they licked it into their mouths.

Li Lao Tai and others watched from beginning to end, laughing so hard they cried, and teasing each other incessantly.

"Fu Niuer is too cunning!"

"Just wait until your younger siblings grow up, whenever they mention Sister Fukniuer they'll say it was her who tricked them with the bananas and made them embarrassed! Then see if you can still blush!"

Jiayin giggled, not feeling the slightest bit embarrassed.

It's best to discipline children early!

She rolled to Grandma's side and whined for Grandma to rub her tummy... to let go. She looked at him with such love and couldn't stop smiling.Xing Wan'er fed her mother two tangerines, and smiled: "Mother, my sister-in-law said these were specially given to you as a show...
