Mr. Tang thought even further ahead. Petty skirmishes weren't the Tang Family's style, so he suggested:
"Hmm, we could have them make a variety of toys, rush out a batch to sell before New Year, see how well the goods sell, then consider organizing after the New Year to expand the collaborative venture with their family."
Eldest Young Master added, "We could find them a factory in the suburbs, or buy land to build a factory, hire workers to produce more fine works. The faster this is done, the better."
Lady Tang listened as her husband and father-in-law discussed business matters. The thought that the hated wet nurse, Mrs. Li, could become increasingly wealthy under their family's leadership made her somewhat reluctant.
Jufeng failed to anticipate that an ordinary farmer's wife like Mrs. Li— receiving a visit from young Master was an honor in itself—could gain wealth through young Master's visit, and jealousy burned within her.
