After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

Chapter 57 Huang’s survival wisdom

"Just because we are a family, we have to make a clear calculation, lest it turn into a confusing account later and hurt the relationship between you and my brother, don't you think?"

Huang Cui'e also said: "Second uncle is right this time. The sixth girl is a bit smart, but doing business is not a trivial matter. We don't have much money. If the business fails, we haven't arrived in Qianzhou yet. Just bear a lot of debt."

Mr. Huang took a deep look at the most honest third son, and saw that everyone was noisy, and finally decided, "Okay, stop arguing, I have the final say. This recipe belongs to my father-in-law, after all. It's the Miao family's dowry, and the capital was also given by the Zheng family. Strictly speaking, it has nothing to do with the first, second, and fourth houses. Each of you is afraid that the third house will harm you. In this case, let's talk ugly up front. Whether this recipe makes money or loses money, it has nothing to do with you."

Mrs. Huang took Xu Degui's hand and said earnestly: "Lao San, don't you have any complaints. Everyone has no confidence in Liu Yatou's business. Seeing that she is about to jump into the fire pit, we can't accompany the whole family. Come on. Do you think this is true——"

After Huang spoke, everyone was satisfied.

Xu Deyuan coughed and said, "Let's write it down in black and white to prevent everyone from turning their backs and denying their credit in the future."

"Yes, yes, you can't come to us for compensation in the future!"

The eldest aunt began to look for paper and pen everywhere.

Xu Degui gritted his teeth and said cruelly: "This scoundrel has hardened her wings now and is getting bolder and bolder. She wants to do business, but I won't let her do it. I have to let her ruin this little family foundation."

Huang quickly pulled him and whispered: "You, don't always fight against Liu Yatou. You are her father. If you don't support her, who else will support her?"

Xu Degui was confused by his mother, so he simply asked directly: "Mom, what do you think? Didn't you just say that you don't want to lose all your family wealth?"

Huang squinted her eyes and smiled "hehe", a smile appeared on her face full of grooves. When she saw no one was around, she pulled Xu Degui's ear and said: "I said that for those incompetent people of yours." Brothers, they are blind and deaf, and they cannot see what Liu Yatou is capable of. Is it possible that I can still force myself to press on the cow’s head and drink water? I am too old to do anything disgusting. Of course I have to obey. What they mean is that they will save money and blame me for having to lose money in the future——"

Huang has his own plans.

She thought that the recipe and capital belonged to the third room, and there was no reason to confiscate them.

In addition, other people are not optimistic about this soap business and want to distance themselves from Sanfang at this moment. Can she still accept it with her old bones?

The most important thing is that in fact, Huang still has some illusions about the soap business. Liu Yatou seems to have gained a lot of inspiration during this period. She has managed the relationship with the Fang family and the peacekeepers very well. Maybe her family A golden phoenix can really fly out.

Is it possible that Xu Qingying is so prosperous that she still doesn't recognize her as her grandmother?
Thinking of this, Huang felt that she had offended no one and that no one had taken care of her, and she felt a little proud.

Xu Degui was speechless for a moment, suddenly feeling that he, this old lady, was really all about the same thing.

"I'm telling you, you are no different from your brothers. Each one is stronger than the other, just like lard." Huang grabbed Xu Degui's ears and sprayed several mouthfuls of saliva into his face while speaking. Go up, "If they can't see it, you can't see it either? Six girls are very capable..."

"Mom!" Xu Degui pulled back with some embarrassment. If he wasn't wearing shackles, he really wanted to scratch his ears, "Why do you say that? What ability does Six Girl have? She jumps up and down all day long. Which girl is as public as she is? , look at the things she has done, she doesn’t take me as a father seriously at all!”

Mr. Huang spat, "My incompetent father will only hold me back, so why do I care about him?"

"mother!"

Mrs. Huang sighed helplessly, feeling that each of her sons was stupider than the last.The second child was somewhat intelligent, but he was only a little clever and not very wise. He was instigated to be a pawn, causing the whole family to be exiled.The third child is even more stupid, blindly honest and upright, like a lump of elm wood.

"You only saw how much money Liu Ya spent on everything and how much debt she owed. Why don't you think about how she has the ability to make the guards willing to take risks and start a soap business with her?"

"Mom, what did you say? These guards are all doing this for Mr. Fang's sake -"

"Then why does Mr. Fang want to help Liu Yatou?"

Xu Degui was stunned for a moment and stammered: "Maybe Mr. Fang likes that girl. As you know, that girl is very sweet and good at coaxing people. Maybe Mr. Fang was deceived by her few words!"

"Whoever can deceive a third-rank official in the imperial court, then I will consider her capable! If I ask you to deceive, can you deceive him? I'm afraid you won't even be able to get through the door. Mr. Fang has been an official for decades, and he doesn't know how to accept it. No matter how many gifts we have received and how many people we have met, people with our status may not be willing to accept it even if they are offered gold and silver. Then why is he willing to help Liu Yatou to convince these interpreters? "

Xu Degui fell silent for a moment.

"Besides, you didn't see how attentive Team Leader Zhao was in the morning. He was indifferent to us a few days ago, but today he just barely followed Liu Yatou. What does this mean? It means Liu Yatou has already taken care of them. Those who can be treated docilely, at least...at least they have something to ask for from Liu Yatou."

Xu Degui wanted to say something more, but he felt uncomfortable thinking about how polite the escorts were to him today.

"Which of these people is not smarter than us? They are all willing to take risks and work with Liu Yatou, which shows that this soap business is successful! It doesn't matter if people are not smart, the key is to follow the right person. Don't imitate your second brother - —”

"Mom..." Xu Degui was speechless to his mother, "Did you ask me to follow Qingying?"

Huang patted Xu Degui on the back. Although she hadn't been to the ground for many years, the strength of Huang's arm had not diminished, and the pat made a "pop" sound. "You, don't you just think that Liu Yatou doesn't listen to you? Scan it." Are you dignified as a father? When this child gets older, he will always fly out of the palm of his hand. Besides, Huiming is weak, are you willing to let him go to the ground? Amei is still so young, it doesn’t cost money, it’s good, in Guizhou Who do you expect to go to Zhou? With such a capable girl, if I were you, I would laugh out loud in my dreams. You still listen to your second brother's instigation every day and then go against your own daughter. You can do that - "

"Mom, the second brother is not this kind of person. He was dismissed from office. He is in a bad mood and talks nonsense. The second brother has read a lot and is knowledgeable, so he should be the one in charge. I feel confident in this."

When Xu Deyuan was mentioned again at this time, Huang's face no longer looked as proud as before.

Even though Huang didn't know a few Chinese characters, she lived decades longer than them and was a very wise old country lady.

This short period of more than ten days was enough for Huang to understand: Although the children are quite filial, the eldest brother can't stand a loss if he is too aggressive, the second brother is too scheming, and the third brother is too honest. It got so bad that Adou couldn't be helped up in the fourth room.

After really picking and choosing, the old lady actually felt that none of them were as reliable as Liu Yatou.

At least Liu Yatou dared to rent a donkey cart for 20 taels for her without saying a word - this courage and courage were much better than them.

This girl is confident in her heart, dares to think and act, and talks less and does more. This is the person who does great things!

Xu Degui was so embarrassed by his mother that he actually knew that all the things Xu Qingying did were for the good of his third wife.But this damn girl didn't pay attention to methods at all. She couldn't get off the stage in front of so many people, and all the guilt in his heart disappeared.

Listening to my mother's words at this moment, I am also thinking about this matter.

Is this soap business really profitable?

Why did Mr. Miao never mention such a recipe?
Just as he was thinking this, he saw Ming Xiaoshuang walking over and saying hello: "Xu Degui, Xu Huiming, come here."

Now because of the soap business, the Xu family is no longer afraid of leaving. When they heard Ming Xiaoshuang shouting, the father and son only glanced at each other, and then followed him at a loss.

Ming Xiaoshuang took the two of them farther away, then took out the key from his belt and said to them: "Thanks to Miss Xu Sixth, the squad leader specifically allows me to remove these shackles for you first. You should also keep a low profile. If When someone asked, he said that he wanted to help Miss Xu Liu, do you understand?"

Ming Xiaoshuang raised his hand, pointed the key at the keyhole of the shackle, and turned it slightly, only to hear the sound of "Gada" hitting the iron.

Seeing that the two of them were still confused, Ming Xiaoshuang frowned, "What, are you deaf? Did you hear what I just said clearly?"

Only then did Xu Degui and the others come back to their senses. There was a burst of joy in their eyes. They felt that their whole bodies felt much lighter after the shackles were taken away. They quickly saluted Ming Xiaoshuang, "I heard you clearly, thank you sir——"

Ming Xiaoshuang said calmly, "No need. As long as the soap business can be developed, your benefits will be indispensable in the future."

This statement made Xu Degui feel a little worried again.

Only then did he remember that he didn't even know what soap was. From now on, any loss or profit would be his third bedroom's business.

Thinking of this, Xu Degui felt a little dazed and scared, but he also felt a little bit excited for no reason.

He has lived for more than 30 years, and this is the first time he has experienced what it is like to be independent.

In the past, it was natural to live a life dependent on his second brother. Over the years, he had become accustomed to Xu Deyuan giving orders, so he didn't need to have any thoughts.

But now, you only need to make your own decisions on everything, without looking at anyone else's eyes.This feeling is like a gambler who goes to the gambling table for the first time. On the one hand, he is imagining how happy he will be when gold and silver are thrown at him, and on the other hand, he is thinking about how miserable it will be if he loses and loses everything.

Xu Degui was filled with a huge fear and excitement. He felt a little light under his feet. When he returned, he saw that Xu Qingying was surrounded by dozens of people.

"Miss Xu Liu, if you are older, don't look at me as I am over 40, but I still have a lot of strength——"

"Mom, strength alone is useless. Making soap requires carefulness and patience. Skill is best."

"Hey, hey, I also have some cleverness——"

"Miss Xu Liu, what on earth is that soap? Can it really make money?"

Xu Qingying was surrounded by people and said in a loud voice, "Let's get here today. If you have any questions, come to me in private. It's time for us to hurry up now, don't delay the trip. Remember, girls, I want 15 The one who is between 30 and 20 years old, has good hands, has a good mouth, and can bear hardships. The man is between 40 and [-] years old, who is strong and willing to do his best. I have made up my mind to come to me at the inn in the evening. Those who are not selected Don’t be anxious, if the business goes well in the future, I will definitely recruit more people——"

The escorts also shouted: "Okay, okay, stop making noise, hurry up and wait until you get to the inn to sign up. Let's go, let's go! If you delay your time and can't make it to the inn at night, you will have to sleep outdoors." Share!"

It's almost November now, the weather is changeable, and the temperature is low at night. If you don't rest outside for a night, you may catch a cold or have a fever, which can be life-threatening.So everyone was discussing enthusiastically without stopping.

Xu Qingying raised her eyes and saw Xu Degui standing there, ignoring his slightly guilty and embarrassed expression. Xu Qingying's face was like this, and she only curtsied slightly, "Father."

Xu Huiming on the side held her hand excitedly, "Good sister, you are so amazing, you actually helped us remove our shackles. Tell me quickly, how did you do it? By the way, let's talk first. That recipe, why didn’t I know there was a recipe for making soap, and what is this soap used for?”

Xu Qingying held Xu Huiming down and said with a smile: "Brother, don't get excited. We should pass by Pingyang County tomorrow. I'll buy the raw materials and molds first and try to make soap. It's a bit similar to the soap we use, but it's It’s slightly different, I can’t explain it in just a few words, but you’ll know what it is when I finish it.”

Xu Huiming scratched her head and thought hard, "Where did you get that prescription? Why don't I remember that my grandfather's house had such a thing?"

Xu Qingying continued without changing her expression and her heart was not beating: "When I was a child, I went to my grandfather's house and saw a miscellany in his collection of books. I was doing it for fun because I was bored at the time. I still remember some of it now. It was also because I didn't have any money. , thinking that everything would be difficult when we arrived in Qianzhou, and everything would cost money, so I came up with the idea of ​​making money."

A look of shame appeared on Xu Huiming's face, and she lowered her head and said, "I am the only male in the family, so I should have considered these things. It's a pity that I can't lift my shoulders and lift my hands. I'm like a waste. I call my sister a girl." , I show my face all day long to do these things. If I had known... if I had known what else I would be reading..."

These words made Xu Degui blush. He had never considered these things along the way.He always thought that the Xu family was not divided, and the third bedroom had no money, but there was always a second bedroom or a middle school, so they would never end up living on the streets.

But now think about it, the second brother is rich, but there are many girls in the second house, and the second brother is a clay Buddha who cannot save himself when crossing the river. How can he take care of his younger brother?

Dafang's three sons are all strong and healthy, and they are all good at working in the fields.

The sister-in-law in the fourth room is also very capable and comes from a wealthy family.If you are missing something, just send a letter back and someone will naturally bring you food and drink.

Based on this calculation, it seems that they are the only ones who want the third house and have no one, and no money.

Xu Degui felt a sense of crisis at this moment.
