He has a spatial ability and saves three children on his escape route.

Chapter 59 The Curious Wen Family Father and Son

After the initial shock, Old Mrs. Wen's first reaction was to run back to the room and wake Old Mr. Wen.

“Old man, old man, I know where the money for the second son’s house repairs, land purchases, and tuition fees for the children came from!”

"Where did it come from?" Old Master Wen nimbly rolled over and got up.

During their escape from famine, Wen Dashan was in the same group as them. This group never robbed anyone, so Wen Dashan had no chance to get rich.

Old Master Wen had made countless guesses about the source of the money for building houses and buying land, and even suspected that Wen Dashan had started accumulating private savings before the family property was divided.

Wen Yuxia parted ways with them in Zhujiang County, while Wen Dashan waited for her in Mengzhong County. It seems that Wen Yuxia's escape was not peaceful, but she also made a considerable fortune.

Grandpa Wen said sternly, "Watch your mouth, don't blurt things out. Also, since we chose the second son, we must treat him with utmost devotion. If I find out you've been using the second son's things to subsidize the eldest son, I won't let you off easily."

Having left Wen Zhihua and gone with Wen Dashan, he would no longer scheme against Wen Dashan for Wen Zhihua's sake, and he would also not allow the old woman to do anything detrimental to Wen Dashan.

Old Mrs. Wen rolled her eyes inelegantly: "I'm not stupid, I don't need your prompting. Alright, get up and eat, then take the rabbit to town to sell."

"A rabbit? Where did this rabbit come from?" Old Master Wen asked, puzzled.

Old Mrs. Wen spoke eloquently, and Old Mr. Wen listened with frequent nods. Wen Yuxia was not only rich, but also skilled at hunting. It seemed that his decision to let his second son support him in his old age was the most correct decision he had ever made.

"Grandpa, we're going back tomorrow. If Great-Grandpa and the others treat you badly, you can come and live in the county town," Wen Yuxia said before going to bed, calling Wen Dashan aside and giving him ten taels of silver for household expenses.

Inviting a god is easy, but sending him away is difficult. Now that Grandpa Wen and his wife have moved into the house, no matter how they treat Wen Dashan, he can't possibly kick them out.

All Wen Yuxia could do was tell Wen Dashan her address in the county town.

"Da Ya, don't worry, Great-Grandpa and the others are very good to me. By the way, Great-Grandpa went to town to sell rabbits today, and I have the money from that sale. Grandpa will come to town to see you sometime," Wen Dashan said with a smile.

Daya is a person with her own opinions. Wen Dashan will not interfere with whatever she wants to do. Therefore, when Wen Yuxia said that she would return to the city tomorrow, he did not object even though he was reluctant to leave the two children.

Upon returning to her home in the south of the city, Wen Yuxia immediately went to check on the vegetables in the greenhouse. In just a few days, the seedlings had grown considerably taller.

"Young lady, every night we've been doing as you instructed, putting two basins of charcoal in the vegetable shed..." Lu Xiaogang recounted every detail.

Hearing that Lu Zhigang had spent three consecutive days burning charcoal in the desolate mountains outside the city to save her money on charcoal, Wen Yuxia was somewhat moved. "Grandpa Lu, you stayed on the mountain for several days. Did you catch a cold?"

She needed to talk to Lu Zhigang and ask him to take Wen Zibai and the others to make charcoal. That way, the Wen family would have a source of income for their winter expenses.

"Girl, the ewe's belly is getting bigger and bigger. My mother says she'll give birth in two days," Lu Xiaosong shouted, watching Wen Yuxia's retreating figure.

"Okay," Wen Yuxia's crisp voice drifted from the front yard to the vegetable garden in the back.

The Lu brothers exchanged a glance, thinking the same thing: Miss Wen was really fast; in the blink of an eye, she had run from the vegetable garden to the front yard.

When Lu Zhigang heard from Wen Yuxia that he would receive a share of the profits and be tasked with leading the Wen Zibai brothers to burn charcoal, he excitedly replied, "I guarantee I'll complete the task!" He then packed two pieces of clothing and headed to Xinghua Village.

Wen Yuxia told him to tell Wen Dashan that Wen Zibai and Wen Zihua would go up the mountain to burn charcoal, and Yang would deliver the meals. Wen Dashan would provide the ingredients, and she would be in charge of the sales channels. The proceeds from the sale of charcoal would be divided into five parts.

In Xinghua Village, after hearing the message relayed by Lu Zhigang, Wen Dashan excitedly said, "That's great, Master Lu, you rest here first, I'll go and call the person over."

Wen Dashan didn't know that Lu Zhigang was a servant in Wen Yuxia's household; he only knew that Lu Zhigang had been hired by Wen Yuxia to teach the Wen Zibai brothers how to make charcoal.

In Xinghua Village, every one of the thousands of households burns charcoal. Wen Dashan's family also burns a considerable amount of charcoal for winter heating; however, the charcoal they produce produces smoke and is only for their own use.

In the entire Xinghua Village, only three families can produce the kind of smokeless charcoal sold in the city. Now, his family can also learn the technique of making smokeless charcoal.

Wen Dashan was excited, as were the Wen Zibai brothers. Yang even shamelessly squeezed Wen Yunhai into the charcoal-burning team, claiming it was to let Wen Yunhai go up the mountain to get some experience.

Wen Yuxia was Fu Bao's savior, and Old Master Li had already given instructions to all the shopkeepers in the Li family of Xinchuan County, so there was no worry about the sales of the charcoal.

After Lu Zhigang and his team successfully produced their first batch of charcoal, she went to Zuixianlou Restaurant to find Manager Du. Manager Du promised to give her charcoal priority, provided it was of equal quality and price.

Ten days later, Wen Dashan and his two sons drove three mule carts carrying 1,500 catties of smokeless charcoal with excellent appearance into the city.

Wen Yuxia led them to Zuixianlou Restaurant. Manager Du, acting in a businesslike manner, verified the quality of the charcoal on the spot, confirming after burning it that it was smokeless charcoal.

On snowy days, charcoal can sell for fifty coins a pound, fifteen coins more than it is now. Wen Yuxia is Young Master Fubao's savior, so it's best to clarify the price of the charcoal. Manager Du told him the truth:

“Miss Wen, the colder it gets, the higher the price of charcoal. The current price is 35 wen per jin. Will you sell it now or later?”

Oh, there's a price difference in charcoal. Wen Yuxia turned to look at Wen Dashan and his son. They were the ones who made the charcoal; they should be the ones to decide when to sell it.

Wen Dashan asked hesitantly, "Da Ya, can your family fit all this charcoal?"

The colder the weather, the higher the price of charcoal, and Wen Dashan naturally wanted to sell it for a high price. However, he felt he had lost money by bringing the 1,500 jin of charcoal back the way it came.

Wen Yuxia smiled and said, "It can be released."

With so many livestock sheds at home, we now only use one for raising sheep. It can hold not only 1,500 catties of charcoal, but also 15,000 catties.

The father and his two sons, entering Wen Yuxia's home for the first time, were curious about everything. Wen Dashan stared intently at the four goats and two lambs in the livestock shed.

He said awkwardly, "Da Ya, is the lamb male or female? Can Grandpa take it home to raise?"

"Both are ewes. I'll send them to you after the lambs are weaned," Wen Yuxia said nonchalantly.

Raising sheep is also a way to make a fortune. Wen Dashan wanted to raise sheep, so she had to support him. After the two lambs were weaned, she sent them to him and also helped him get a ram.

"Da Ya, how did you come up with the idea of ​​growing vegetables in a greenhouse?" Wen Zibo circled the greenhouse a few times, wanting to lift the oil paper to go inside and see for himself, but Lu Xiaosong stopped him again, so he could only ask.

"Second Uncle, greenhouse vegetables can only be grown secretly at home. Growing them in the open air won't work. If others learn the technique, we won't be able to make money. Don't tell anyone when you go back," Wen Yuxia said earnestly.

“Dad, Second Brother, come here quickly, Da Ya’s house is so big!” Wen Zihua’s voice came from the front yard.
