The shop had delivered the accounts for the past two months. Judging from the accounts, the total net profit for these two months was over four thousand taels of silver.
Adding on the original income from the farm, this would give her ten thousand taels of silver. For her, this was not a small amount, but for the things she wanted to do, it was still a little too little.
There were several things she had to do to save the women. First, they had to be put on record in the government, and every woman who sought protection, after submitting her certificate of loss, would have to register with the government to determine where she was, to reassure them, and to put the government in charge.
In this aspect, she naturally needed Ruo Chu to step in. This was also the reason why she wanted Ruo Chu as soon as the plan took shape in her mind.
Her current thoughts were all on the clothes shop. If these women could rely on their own labour to support themselves at the places she provided, it would be a great thing.
However, the clothing store was only this big, and the talent required was also very single. It was definitely unable to meet the needs of women from all kinds of families.
Therefore, if he wanted to succeed, he needed to plan carefully.
Fortunately, the serenity of the manor gave her a very suitable environment to think about. It allowed her to slowly think and not be disturbed by others.
After February, the spring wind seemed to be spurred on by something, and the green clumps seemed to keep coming into view as if they were visible to the naked eye.
Compared to Qi, Yan Guo's winter season was much shorter, which was also one of the reasons why Chu Yuehua liked Yan Guo more.
"Lady, I saw that the welcoming spring flower seemed to have bloomed!"
It was probably because they came here that Du Ruo's personality became a lot more lively. Moreover, Chu Yuehua was like a wild girl running around everywhere, so they liked things in the wild even more.
"Really?" When Chu Yuehua heard this, she immediately put down the pen in her hand and asked, "Where is it?"
"It's right next to the pond, cluster after cluster. It's really pretty. Let's go gather some juice!"
Chu Yuehua quickly nodded, "Okay, okay. After the winter, we won't be able to see a single flower. There's a flower shop here, even if you want to buy some, you won't be able to do it."
Then he said to Spring Grass, "Spring Grass, come with us. Bring the basket with you, we'll step on it a bit more."
"This girl is already twelve years old. You can't be naughty anymore!" When Mother Xiao heard this, she hurriedly came out of the house to stop him.
Chu Yuehua immediately pouted, "Mom, I'm just going to step on some flowers and come back."
"You .." However, Mama Xiao shook her head in disagreement. "Last year was fine, but since we've already started learning how to manage the family, now is the right time. We can't waste any more time going out into the wild."
It seemed like mother Xiao had made up her mind to teach her how to be the housekeeper. Chu Yuehua immediately frowned. The family was naturally important, but once the boat docked, it was only natural that they would learn. If they were still cooped up at home, wouldn't it be a waste of time?
As he walked back with a sigh, he secretly glanced at Mother Xiao's movements.
"I'll go and bring the account book over. The lady should at least follow me to take a good look at it, and not just to read it, the most important thing is to understand it in the shortest time possible. This isn't a simple matter, it requires a lot of practice..."
Seeing her return to her room, Chu Yuehua immediately signaled Spring Grass and Du Ruoruo with her eyes, then rushed out like a rabbit, "When I finish harvesting the flowers, I'll come back to learn from mother to read the account book. Don't worry, I'll be back very soon, don't worry!"
By the time he finished talking, there was no trace of him. All that was left was Spring Grass. She turned her head back to look at the situation, a troubled expression on her face.
Xiao Ma was so angry that she held onto the door frame without saying a word. After a long while, she finally said, "My little ancestor, if you want to leave, don't run away! Young ladies, who would run away like you? "
Of course, Chu Yuehua couldn't hear him.
She only stopped after running far away in one breath. Du Ruo's pace wasn't slow, but in the end, Spring Grass was still a bit hesitant even at a time like this.
"Sigh!" Why is Mother Xiao so hard to deal with now? If this goes on, I won't be coming out in the future anymore, it's impossible! "
He then kicked a stone, "No matter what, I have to think of a solution to the problem."
These words came from her muttering with herself. Du Ruoruo was already used to it, but Spring Grass hesitated to speak. Then, with a calm face, she probably didn't think of a good idea.
"Sigh!" Forget it for now, at most I'll just get scolded later. Oh right, Duro, where is the welcoming flower that you mentioned? "
"It's over there. It's not open yet. Follow me!" The smile on Du Ruo's face was much wider now that her personality had been relaxed.
Spring Grass looked at her with a bit of envy in her heart.
She had never been able to understand Chu Yuehua, so she had always felt that there was a mysterious feeling coming from her.
Especially after what happened with Xia He, sometimes she even felt that she didn't seem like an eleven-year-old girl at all.
But now, this was clearly the nature of a little girl, and just like her, Du Ruoruo was carefree in front of her. The two of them seemed to have complete trust in each other, never suspecting anything at all.
It didn't seem like she was ..
Thinking of this, her face darkened, until Chu Yuehua's voice rang out, "Spring Grass, hurry up. Don't be so slow!"
When they arrived at the place Du Ruoruo mentioned, there were indeed clusters of welcoming flowers blooming, but they didn't bloom as brightly as they did. There were also some flowers that didn't fully bloom, which made Chu Yuehua feel a bit regretful: "It was so easy to avoid Mother Xiao and run out, but the result is that we weren't able to harvest them."
Du Ruoruo laughed when she heard that, "It doesn't matter if we can't get it, it's better if we come out for a walk! It was better than being watched by Mama Xiao at home! Besides, this Spring Flowers are considered to have bloomed! "Just assume that I'm here to admire the flowers and not to pick them."
Hearing her words, Chu Yuehua nodded and said, "Your words make sense, so I'll listen to you!"
We went over and sat down. A while ago, Ma Zhuang said that he wanted to do something, so he put two big rocks there. Now, we can just sit there and bask in the sun.
The two of them had no objections and followed her.
However, just as he lay down, he heard the sound of horse hooves.
"Eh? Who was it? Could it be the old lady? " Du Ruo quickly sat up and looked towards the source of the voice.
