By early November, Ma Liguo finally brought some good news to Shen Yunfang, who was of course very happy and greatly praised Ma Liguo.
Next, they discussed the issue of partnership and profit-sharing for this year.
Since they needed to produce spring couplets and firecrackers, they found themselves a few people short.
Most of Ma Liguo's relatives were public servants and not suitable for this kind of work, so Shen Yunfang mentioned that she had another family in mind, namely Brother Dashuan's family.
First and foremost, Brother Dashuan's family had a good reputation, they were not the sort to be underhanded or sly, and both Dashuan and his wife were capable workers. Most importantly, Shen Yunfang trusted them.
Ma Liguo had no objections to Shen Yunfang's suggestion, so the decision on who to include was settled.
In total, there would be four families involved: Shen Yunfang's own, Ma Liguo's, Li Xianglian's, and Dashuan's.
