Chapter 479: Chapter 474: Going Back to My Hometown for a Tricky Matter 09 [Explosive Update 03]

————-

As the reputation spread, the market reacted incredibly well.

Many people came by word of mouth, and apart from the bassinets and beds, Yan Jinsu also designed several small wooden toys, which Mr. Xie incorporated into the bassinets and beds, making them even more exquisite and turning them into the perfect gifts for baby’s first-month celebration.

Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi benefited from this, as Mr. Xie occasionally took some small toys in his hands, developing many wooden toys.

Although they could only be played with in the hands, aside from the jingling bells, they made no other sounds, but for a few months old baby, the sound itself was enough to attract their attention.

Thus, Mr. Xie made a good profit with his bassinets and beds. freewēbnoveℓ.com

The old man was quite adept at business; recognizing regular customers, he would occasionally add some small toys he discovered himself, using excess wood scraps for woodcarving.

Shapes like little rabbits, little turtles, and little flowers, all followed Yan Jinsu’s guidance, at least half the size of a palm, safe enough even if a child put them in the mouth – they wouldn’t choke, safety was a priority.

Later, as Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi grew more active, Yan Jinsu suggested that Mr. Xie make the small cribs they are now using, continuously developing new practical cribs, and Mr. Xie’s craftsmanship never stopped, even foregoing his favorite pastime of playing chess.

Yan Jinsu with a sidelong glance: Her parents-in-law, an old couple, were both determined not to lose this competition, each holding their breath to see who could earn more money!

From Yan Jinsu’s perspective, after about half a year, her parents-in-law probably had enough money to buy a house in the county town.

Originally, she heard the elders discussing when to buy a house, but she didn’t know why her mother-in-law suddenly stopped bringing it up, and Xie Tiesheng, seeing her silence, naturally wouldn’t broach the subject either.

Her mother-in-law’s silence actually gave Yan Jinsu a rough idea; it’s nothing but not wanting Xiao Ba to actually pair up with Jiang Xiaoying.

After all, if they really bought a small house in the county town for Fifth, with a house, Xiao Ba would have it, and Jiang Xiaoying might not resist so much.

Everyone is a woman, and not naive young girls; they obviously understand that to have a harmonious family, owning a house is essential.

Zhou Xiuhua just didn’t want to give Jiang Xiaoying any hope, especially after finding out that her oldest son had actually fallen in love with a widow, she wouldn’t inquire about affordable houses anymore, instead, she changed her mind and started to encourage returning back to their hometown.

However, Mr. Xie dismissed this with a few words:

"You, old woman, what’s the use of fussing now? San’er got Fifth such a good job, and now you think you are above everyone? Do you think the job arranged by San’er for Fifth is that easy? You think she controls all jobs in the world, to work wherever you want?"

Upon unexpectedly hearing this, Yan Jinsu gave her father-in-law a big thumbs up.

To make Xie Jingyang quit his public sector job and return to manual labor in their hometown? After spending so much effort and sending Fifth for education in the industrial, agricultural, and military fields, what was it for?

And just after having a few good days, how could they let Fifth return to their hometown and face idle gossip?

This must be madness!

Lin Caixia only stayed one extra night, and after breakfast the next day, she took Xiao Ba back to their home in the town first.

With a husband to care for and San’er and Xiao Liu still staying at her aunt’s place, she couldn’t always impose on her aunt.

After Yan Jinsu reflected a basket full of childcare ’details’ and shared how to prepare and match food to easily produce milk, Lin Caixia left happily.

She was truly concerned about her two sons at her aunt’s home, women with children aren’t free; though she initially thought to stay a few more days, she was restless after just one extra night and decided it was better to leave. After all, Yan Jinsu had carefully explained everything she needed to know.

Having a reliable answer, Lin Caixia naturally wanted to go back, and she also felt especially grateful for Yan Jinsu’s generosity.

Zhou Xiuhua did not insist on her staying, because she was worried about Xiao San and Xiao Liu, her beloved grandchildren, and whether they could be properly cared for in someone else’s home.

After all, children are best taken care of by their own mothers.

The real mother of Xiao Si, however, was of inferior quality and couldn’t be considered normal.

After sending Xiao Ba and her son on their way, Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi were coaxed to nap by Yan Jinsu, and she then joined Xie Jinghong, her sisters-in-law, to make cookies in the kitchen.

Yan Jinsu did the teaching, while Xie Jinghong learned.

Yan Jinsu had thought about it all night, realizing that Xie Jinghong, as this eldest sister-in-law, was surely targeted and plotted against by her mother-in-law because she had no status or income in the family.

To genuinely help her stand on her own, it was essential to forge a path of self-reliance for her!

Regardless of how well one’s husband treats them, a woman without a status in the family is merely a punching bag [suffering and crying!].

To avoid being mistreated, support from one’s parental home is one thing, but most importantly, it’s whether one can earn big money!

The phrase ’no money, no regard’ reveals the true nature of relationships between people—money fundamentally reflects a person’s living standard!

Speaking of skills, Xie Jinghong’s sewing wasn’t even close to her little aunt’s cleverness.

Just look at the extra fabric and clothes for the nephew that the little aunt gave to the older sister; she completely transformed them! What was clearly meant to be cute animal outfits became unrecognizable mess.

Eventually, Yan Jinsu could not stand it and helped adjust it here and there, which saved the little aunt’s loving intention.

Luckily, the eldest sister-in-law’s cooking skills were quite decent.

Of course, she had to take care of three children, so anything like stir-frying wasn’t feasible. However, selling braised meat, snacks, and braised eggs in the county town, like with the mother-in-law, should be manageable.

At the very least, just from the income perspective, it would surely exceed that of Fan Jiefang, the second brother-in-law!

Before, Yan Jinsu had visited the second sister’s home in the county town several times.

It was located right in the center of the county town, surrounded by residential districts inhabited by middle-class families, either with a little money or official positions. These people, naturally, are more willing to spend on food.

Items like braised meat, braised pig ears, braised eggs, are great as accompaniments to drinks, and with additions like braised eggs, braised soybeans, dried tofu, along with homemade chili sauce, they were excellent snacks to pair with alcohol.

As for the snacks, they were even simpler—hard biscuits, large enough for a two-year-old child to munch on for over an hour. These biscuits were quite durable.

She made them a bit sweeter and used different ingredients from traditional hard biscuits.

Traditional hard biscuits were suitable for adults, while hers were specifically made for children.

Regarding hardness and sweetness, firstly, it was to occupy the children’s time, and secondly, it added some coarse grain nutrients beneficial for children’s development.

She did not have great ambitions, but changing some children’s physiques and increasing the family’s income was a great thing.

It’s hard to say about other aspects, but Yan Jinsu could provide quite a lot of sugar. At most, she would charge less, letting the elder sister doubt it less, as long as she didn’t shortchange the children with the ingredients.
