Chapter 47 - 047 School starts
Old Man raised his eyebrows, and with a stern voice, he declared, "How is Ah Nan not a Tian Family member? Tian Bajin, I’m telling you, this brewing recipe belongs to Ah Nan, left to her by her own parents. The Tian Family’s opportunity to earn money is all thanks to Ah Nan. We only gave one fifth to Ah Nan, which is already taking a huge advantage, don’t bully Ah Nan for being young and unaware."
Poor Tian Bajin, despite his age, got scolded so severely by Old Man, but the Tian Family was used to it—the Old Man was the absolute authority of the Tian Family. No matter how old Tian Bajin was, he would not escape scolding if he did something wrong.
Tian Sisi, with the identity of an adopted daughter of the Tian Family, was unknown by a few younger ones, but those present at the scene knew clearly that it was indeed Tian Sisi’s biological parents who left her the brewing recipe. After all, when Tian Sisi was brought back, she carried with her a bundle and clothes that were not affordable by ordinary families, so it makes sense that her biological parents left her some brewing recipes, perhaps her birth parents were from a family of brewers!
Tian Bajin, upon hearing that the recipe belonged to Tian Sisi, blushed and stammered, "Then, why don’t we give more money to Ah Nan for her dowry in the future?"
Everyone agreed with Tian Bajin’s suggestion, as taking advantage of a little girl didn’t sit right with them. It must be said, people in this era were still quite simple, valuing affection more than money.
Old Man shook his head, "No need, just follow my initial sharing plan, this is what Ah Nan agreed to, you all just need to remember her kindness."
After this declaration by Old Man, everyone present deeply appreciated Tian Sisi’s kindness, thinking that Ah Nan was indeed a child blessed with good fortune and also very generous. They started treating her even better than before, something Tian Sisi had not anticipated.
The matter was thus settled, and everyone’s faces beamed with joy. Regardless of how much money the sold wine brought in, the household income increased and there was more cash on hand. Old Man even suggested including Shouhua in the brewing, but Tian Shouhua declined because he was not interested in such tasks and was soon going to study in the town, only returning once a week, leaving him no time for brewing.
