Fu Baiman shook his head and said, "To take a bath, just boil some water at home."

Fujuju says this is different.

"Dad, I read in a book that this natural hot spring is different from bathing with home-boiled water. It can even cure illnesses and make you more beautiful."

Fu Baiwan laughed heartily, "Where did you see that in a book?"

Fu Jiujiu used to blame everything on Tang Xian, but now that Tang Xian is in the village, she's afraid of being exposed. "I'm at my aunt's house at the magistrate's."

Fu Baimian also heard about the matters concerning the magistrate's household.

"Really?" Fu Baiwan said.

Fuju nodded, "Really, Auntie's book definitely won't be wrong."

"That's right, she's the wife of the magistrate, we can't be wrong." Fu Baiwan thought for a moment, "Then like this, our male servants will wash during the day, and in the evening, let your mother and the others come over too."

Fu Baiman was happy that his family was doing well, but he didn't understand what Fu Jiujiao meant.

But Fu Si Jin understood.

"Dad, it's too wasteful for just our family to take a bath. Since hot spring water has such good effects, why not make money from it?"

"Can this still make money?" Fu Baimian asked in disbelief.

Fu Sijin nodded. There wasn't one in the village, but there were bathhouses in the county. However, only men could enter; no women went out to wash.

If it could really cure diseases and have other benefits, Fu Si Jin felt that it would definitely be profitable.

A hot bath is better, isn't it? It's much better than drinking that bitter medicine.

Fu Si Jin said it could be done, so Fu Bai Wan didn't doubt him.

He picked up the little dumpling, kissed its cheek, and said, "My good boy, you are truly a lucky star. With one step, you even stepped out a hot spring."

Fu Sijin was also very excited, his mind racing. "Father, if we open a hot spring resort, not only can we attract wealthy people, but villagers won't have to go to the town ten miles away to find work. They could earn money right here at the resort."

Fu Sijin excitedly said: "Think about it, they must eat and drink, right? And they'd need someone to wait on them. I roughly calculated that at least twenty people would be needed."

When Fu Baiwan heard that he could help the villagers make money, he was even happier. "What are we waiting for? Let's go home and tell my mother the good news."

The whole family was chatting animatedly, but Fu Wujin sat on the side, lost in thought, as if it had nothing to do with him.

"Can a bath even cure illnesses?" Zhou Shi asked.

Fu Jiujiu kept watching Fu Wujin closely and said loudly, "Fifth brother is a doctor, Fifth brother knows."

"That's right, Wu Jin, you tell everyone, can your sister's words come true?" Fu Baiwan said.

A whole family looked at him with anticipation. Fu Wujin, being watched, felt a little uncomfortable. "There are records about the medical skills of medicinal baths. An herbal hot spring bath should be fine."

<<>>>

Just as the two brothers were about to leave, Zhou Shi suddenly spoke up, "Father, who is in charge of this hot spring resort?"

Of course, it's Dad.

Fu Dagang had just finished speaking when he was glared at harshly by Zhou Shi.

"Tien Guihua laughed twice, "That mountain is yours and your wife's to buy, of course you two are in charge."

Zhou lifted her buttocks, and Tian Guihua knew she was passing several bowel movements.

"Mother... I didn't mean it that way. I just wanted to make sure we had clear divisions of labor, so things don't get chaotic later." Zhou finally got the answer she wanted and was pleased.

Fu Dajin glanced at the little dumpling, and said in a negotiating tone: "Wife, that hot spring was found by the little sister. If we really make money, let's give half to the little sister?"

"Cough!" Mrs. Zhou glared at him, "Isn't half a bit too much?"

Fujujiao is not short of money now, her newspaper earns enough for her to splurge for a lifetime.

"Big brother, I don't want to." Fu Jiujiao looked at Fu Wujin. Although his clinic was very successful, he often treated poor patients for free or just charged them the cost price, so he didn't make much money.

"Big brother, Fifth Brother will help you get a medicinal bath when the time comes. Why don't you wait until we make some money and give it to Fifth Brother?"

"Sister, you have what your older brother has."

Tian Guihua glanced at her eldest daughter-in-law's face, it was alright, much stronger than before. If you had told her to split money with someone else before, it would have been like asking for her life.

There is progress.

"Alright, Jiujing discovered that the hot springs are a hero. They get one-tenth of the rewards. Wujin will help you make a medicated bath later and also gets one-tenth. The rest is up to the two of you."

Zhou thought about it, and said, "Mother, you're right. I'll do as you say."

Fu Dajing scratched his head, "Mother, what about you and Father?"

"Do I need your money?" Fu Baiwan snorted coldly, "I have plenty of money, so no."

……

The Fu family is very popular in the village. It's not an exaggeration to say that everyone listens to them. When something happens, most of the villagers will come to help.

Fu Dajin walked around once, and the crowd gathered.

Fu Si Jin has many friends and a wide network. If you need something, just say hello to each of them. As long as the price is right, nothing is a problem.

The materials needed to build the hot spring resort arrived on the mountain one after another.

The weather is getting a bit hot, so we need to hurry up and finish building the mountain lodge. It's cool on the mountain, and business will definitely be good in the summer.

"What kind of hot spring resort is this? It's just a big pit for bathing. My god, a bunch of people are naked in one pit taking a bath, it's really interesting." Aunt Fan has changed since Fan Sanmei started living a good life and her words aren't the same anymore.

"I heard women go there too? If they're seen out and about, it's probably the end of them. Who would let their wife/mother go to such a place? The Fu family just gets into all sorts of nonsense."

As a loyal fan of the Fu family, Lee Kim Fung wouldn't agree. "It's not like we're all washing in the same pit together, and they're all women. What's there to be ashamed of? We have everything you have. It's better than not bathing once a year, right?"

Summer is fine, the whole basin can be washed a bit with water, but winter is too cold. Even if their family is doing well, they might only wash it once a month.

"Bootlicker," Fan's mother snorted. "I know you better than that. You flatter the Fu family, thinking your son could become an official? Dream on."

Then don't go, just stay here and be grumpy. I heard that the hot springs are good for beauty and skincare, you'll be white and smooth after a wash.

Li Jinping rolled her eyes at Fan Dajiao and whispered to the other women that they would wait until the villa was ready before going for a wash.

"Washing is secondary, I heard from the village chief that the mountain lodge is looking for help, I want my husband to give it a try."

"I thought so too."

People don't know much about hot springs, but they heard that it could bring some people in the village wealth and income. They think this is a good thing.
