She led the whole village to prosperity by raising koi fish.

Chapter 36 was given a holiday.

In the following days, Su Yuning often spaced out, not because she wasn't getting enough rest, but because she was thinking about how to make convenient and easy-to-use menstrual pads.

That day, the proprietress came to her side and subtly inquired, "Su Yuning, didn't you say you could make scented soap? When are you going to start making it?"

Su Yuning replied, both amused and exasperated, "Boss lady, I haven't paid the workers yet, how am I supposed to buy the raw materials for making soap? Let's talk about it later. No rush."

The proprietress retorted angrily, "You're not in a hurry, but I am! My cousin is coming to visit next month, and she'll be showing off to me again. I can't exactly use a sweet potato as soap, can I?"

"Uh, I know, I'll do it when I have time," Su Yuning replied.

"Su Yuning, you've been spacing out a lot at work lately. Do you think I haven't noticed? If it weren't for the fact that your boyfriend is Ye Beichen, I would have fired you long ago!" the landlady scolded unhappily.

"Boss lady, I had to pay in advance for the labor costs when I bought the ingredients last time. If I make soap again, I'm afraid I'll have to pay in advance for a whole month's worth of labor costs," Su Yuning replied with a troubled expression.

"I'll talk to the boss and we'll give you a raise," the landlady said, then swaggered off to find the boss.

In Xinghua Village, the village chief received a request from his superiors to build a school in the village and hire some literate young people to teach.

The village chief immediately thought of the eldest son of the Su family and his wife, so he went to the Su family home excitedly to discuss the matter.

Because the eldest son of the Su family had already gone to work in the vegetable garden, only the children and Yang Yuyan were at home.

Yang Yuyan served tea and water to the village chief and asked with a smile, "Village chief, what brings you here today? If it's related to my husband, you can tell me and I'll pass it on to him."

The village chief smiled kindly and explained to her, "It's about you two. Our village is planning to build a school, and since you're both literate, could you come and teach there?"

Yang Yuyan didn't react at first, paused for a moment, and then asked, "Village Chief, what do you mean?"

The village chief replied again, "I would like to invite you and the eldest son of the Su family to teach at the school. The wages will be paid by the officials, and there will also be benefits during holidays."

Yang Yuyan was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly in agreement, "Yes, both of us can do it! Thank you, Village Chief, for your consideration for our family!"

The village chief waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite. We're all from the same village. Because of your high level of education, I didn't want your talents to be buried, so I came to ask about this matter."

Yang Yuyan confidently assured them, "Village Chief, don't worry, my husband and I will educate the children with our hearts! Even if it's difficult at the beginning, we will persevere!"

The village chief nodded in satisfaction, then got up and left, saying, "You stay home and look after the children. I'm going to visit someone else."

"Okay, take care!" Yang Yuyan replied politely.

Back in Yangjiaping, Zhou Xi had gone from a complete novice to a skilled blacksmith. Whenever people in the surrounding villages needed pots, pans, or other kitchenware, Yang the blacksmith would arrange for Zhou Xi to make them. When people asked who this girl was, Yang the blacksmith would always proudly reply that she was his future daughter-in-law. In comparison, the villagers all praised the Yang family for their good fortune in finding such a remarkable daughter-in-law.

As for Yang Yuxuan, he initially worked sporadically and didn't manage the business properly, but now he has started to work seriously because his mother dotes on him. Every time he finishes work, she gives him a bag of loose silver so that he and Zhou Xi can go shopping together.

"Son, you are now in charge of the business. I'm retiring today, and I'm handing this fabric shop over to you," Madam Yang said earnestly.

Yang Yuxuan was stunned. This decision came too suddenly, and he was a little unaccustomed to it.

"Mom, please don't joke with me, okay? I can help you manage the business with you. If you're not here, how am I supposed to know what to do?"

"Your mother is getting old and should rest. Besides, I've taught you everything I needed to teach you and said everything I needed to say. The rest depends on your own abilities. I wish you success! Keep it up!" Madam Yang patted her son's shoulder to encourage him, then took her maid and rode home in a carriage.

"My God, just like that, I suddenly became the big boss of the shop," Yang Yuxuan muttered to himself.

In the evening, Su Yuning took a bus home to reunite with her family.

Old Su asked curiously, "Why are you back during the holidays? Honey, did your boss scold you?"

Su Yuning shook her head and explained, "Father, you don't know, I've been given a leave of absence. I'll go back to work in three days."

Old Su and the woman exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with doubt.

"Little sister, it's good for you to rest. Stay home and keep your sister-in-law company, and help take care of your little nephew," the eldest son of the Su family replied happily.

"No, I have something to do. My boss asked me to make scented soap for her," Su Yuning quickly explained.

At this moment, the whole family looked at Su Yuning curiously, thinking she was talking in her sleep.

Su Yuning blushed and replied, "It's true. Because there are osmanthus flowers on the mountain, I plan to collect some osmanthus flowers and then prepare materials such as lard, clam shells, and wood ash before making soap."

Only the woman in the family supported her, saying, "Daughter, just do whatever the boss asks you to do! I support you!"

“Okay, thank you, Mother.” Su Yuning replied happily.

Next, Yang Yuyan announced even more shocking news to the whole family: "The village chief came today. He asked me and Su Laoda to teach at the school. There will be wages and benefits."

The eldest son of the Su family was immediately moved to tears. "All my years of hard study have finally paid off! I've finally received good news! Father, Mother, can you hear me? I'm going to be a teacher!"

"We heard that, our daughter-in-law is wonderful!" the elderly couple responded in unison. At that moment, the eldest son of the Su family stopped smiling through his tears; in their hearts, their daughter-in-law was the most important person.

"Sister-in-law, which school do you teach at? Is it far from home?" Su Yuning asked with concern.

Yang Yuyan replied with a smile, "It's the village school, but it hasn't been built yet."

"That's great. It's not far from home. Once the school is established, you two can go teach, and I'll stay home to take care of the children," the woman replied with a smile.

At this moment, Old Su reminded her, "Honey, did you forget to bring dinner to your mother?"

The woman slapped her forehead. "Oh dear, how could I forget that? I'll prepare the food right away. Eldest son, go and take the food to Grandma!"

"Okay, I understand." The eldest son of the Su family nodded in agreement.
