The skilled widow is busy farming

Chapter 37

Grandpa opened his eyes from the recliner, "I want to discuss the wine shop with you."

"Row."

The father-in-law and the second uncle came over and sat down properly.

"Xiu Niang's idea is very good. I heard that the owner of your shop has returned to his hometown, right?"

"Yes, he lost all his family fortune in gambling. He returned to his old butler's hometown, which can be regarded as his last relative. The old butler has been loyal to him all his life and took the child away. After paying off the money to the casino, he knelt down I begged the casino to save my life. The casino, remembering his father’s kindness in the past, broke the child’s legs and left the shop. If I don’t want to sell it, I will go back and have already left.”

He took the money and left immediately, and his old house was also sold. It was considered that the casino left a glimmer of hope and did not complete everything.

"I thought in my heart that no matter how much money I leave you, it won't be enough for the children to make things. It's far better than leaving you with skills and skills. Are you right?"

"Yes, dad, you are thinking long-term, but we are both at this age, and we can no longer let our children learn wrong things. You are worried about Brother Qun and Brother Chun. Don't worry, I can't let go. Xiu Niang is a good child. I Having taken advantage of a widow, Brother Qun and Brother Chun have been in my heart for a long time and cannot let go."

Second Uncle Li is most like an old man, smart and capable, with a clear mind, and father-in-law is like an old lady, kind and benevolent.

"It's not all for this reason. It's also for long-term planning. In the future, I need to discuss family matters with Xiu Niang first. Girls from big families are far more powerful than I thought. I used to look down on her. In the end, she gave way to Ping. Brother."

"Yes, Xiu Niang is indeed very resourceful."

"It is imperative to do the winery. Once we set up the winery, our family will be stable in the village. Our children and grandchildren will have someone to help them if they have any difficulties. With this winery, they will not be able to get rid of our children and grandchildren. They can’t do it without our skills and connections.”

"I also thought about this. Xiu Niang is indeed far-sighted. She said she wanted to open a weaving workshop. I think it is feasible, but the conditions are not mature now."

"The weaving workshop must be opened. It will not only bring many benefits to the clan but also our family. The most important thing is that it can turn the Li family into a truly noble family. All the girls in the Li family can read and understand the rules. Will they still marry low? Isn't it the children and grandchildren of the Li family who marry well? Why do you think the county magistrate wipes your ass with a letter? It's because there are so many officials in the Zhou family."

"Yes, I have thought a lot since I came back this time. Xiu Niang is a daughter of a rich family and understands that we do not understand the officialdom. Although we have scholars, there are few officials and our understanding is still too shallow."

The second uncle answered.

"Dad, I think Xiu Niang did nothing wrong. The Wang family is a scourge, and it is right to kill her as a warning to others."

The father-in-law was silent for a while before he spoke. The first sentence he spoke was for Xiu Niang.

Grandpa waved his hand, "I don't care whether the Wang family dies or not. I didn't say Xiu Niang was wrong. If she doesn't do it, I will still find a way to clean up the Wang family. I have done my best to be benevolent. I will definitely get rid of the trouble before I die so that I won't leave any harm to you. "

Grandpa didn't care about this matter at all, nor did he care whether Wang's sister-in-law lived or died. He didn't care.

"I'm reminding you all this to keep you in mind. Don't stop Xiu Niang. Just support and cooperate in whatever she wants to do. This is my Li family. Just because Brother Ping is dead, you can't treat Xiu Niang and her son as our own. Something happened."

"No way, Dad, your granddaughter-in-law is so powerful. She killed two of her daughters-in-law in one move. We are not just one, we are a family. We are protected by Xiu Niang. I am not lacking in foresight and can tell the difference between the inside and the outside."

Uncle Li laughed, I am not stupid enough to do this.

Grandpa nodded and said, "How much does a winery cost? We can't rely on Xiu Niang to weave brocades. It's really blinding if she does too much. I'm also very worried, but it's not appropriate not to let her do it. Your mother said to let her do it more." Xiu Niang will feel less miserable and think less, which is better than counting Buddha beans." What the old lady means is that if you do some work, you won't get into trouble. What if Xiu Niang is miserable and doesn't want to live anymore? She has a goal and something to do. Only then can I hope to continue living. I have already touched the coffin once. How scary.

"Is there enough time to make money from the shop? I don't have any money anymore. I bought cabinets, tables, chairs, and some materials with the 50 taels I earned from selling paintings. There is still some left. I have kept the accounts, but it is not enough to dry the wine. Square.”

Because my grandfather worked as a bookkeeper, everyone in the Li family has to report and keep accounts. This has been a habit for decades. The Li family does not allow confusion in accounting. This is a family rule. Make it clear what you buy and what it is used for. Write it down. One stroke.

The two brothers have been separated for many years and are still harmonious and close. The accounts are clear and clear, and they don't hide any selfish motives. If they have anything to say directly, they will definitely not refuse if they can help. A biological brother born from his parents, there is nothing he can't say.

"The winery asked the clan to pay for a share. Do you think the villagers are willing to pay for it?"

"How should we divide the money? Dad, I'm not bragging. I really value Xiu Niang's ability. She said that if she can make money, she will definitely make it. It's not appropriate for our family to take too much. If we take too little, I feel that we are losing money. Xiu Niang It's so hard to weave brocade. I took the painting to sell, but the shopkeeper never let me touch it again. If I sell it to the capital, I can buy an extra 100 taels of silver."

"That's the reason. We can't let Xiu Niang get too far ahead. I'm afraid that everyone will focus on Xiu Niang's little things, and I'm also worried that I won't be able to protect her. The group brothers are still young and can't stand up to the family for the time being."

Grandpa planned hard to protect Xiu Niang and her son. He had to make money without making too much money, which would be too eye-catching and arouse jealousy. While making money, he also had to bring close relatives of the same clan in the village together to make money and share a bowl of meat with the same clan.

If something happens in the future, I can say something for Xiu Niang and her son, so that I won't hate Xiu Niang and her son. How can a widow with a child still make a lot of money? People who live better than us men can do better. People's hearts should not be tested.

"I'll go back and discuss it with your uncle and the others."

"Okay, brother, Xiu Niang's share will be yours?"

"Let Brother Qun take the blame. He is the eldest son of the second wife. Sooner or later he must learn to protect his mother and younger brother. Let him learn more."

After some thought, the father-in-law pushed his grandson out, letting everyone gradually accept that Brother Ping was gone. From now on, his eldest son, Brother Qun, would be the one to take care of things. We couldn't let Xiu Niang, mother and son be left behind.

"What you said makes sense. From now on, I will show my face to the clan and run around more with my brothers."

"From now on, I will work hard for you to teach your children. I am not as smart as you in dealing with people."

Father-in-law nodded.

"This is my job. The business of the shop is almost done. It's okay for me to eat the dishes. Let's choose an auspicious day to open the business first."

"Xiu Niang said that she would first sell cheap and delicious food to satisfy her needs, and let the dock workers help prop up the shop, and then worry about the rest."

"middle."

"By the way, Grandma Wang has agreed to stay in our village. She wants to buy a homestead next to our house. You can keep the land on your eldest brother's left for me. Xiu Niang said that after buying it all Leave it to your children and grandchildren.”

"I got it."

The second uncle nodded.
