Chapter 58
The busy pillow-making time was going on, and Liu Fangfang was not idle either. She was busy making sandbags all day, and Li Xiaohua was also quick to bring her the key to the Educated Youth Point.

Liu Fangfang asked them to send all the pillows that they couldn't fit at home to the educated youth center.

Wang Cuihua didn't get any benefits. After returning home, she fanned the flames with Old Mrs. Gu, causing Old Mrs. Gu to come to the house several times to cause trouble.

Mrs. Gu has a way, spread her hands, well, you see, there is nothing at home, and it is impossible for you to want to do it.

Liu Fangfang moved the sewing machine back to her room. The door was usually locked, and Mrs. Gu was a little scared of her granddaughter-in-law coming from the city, so the sewing machine was saved.

But Gu Lao Er's family couldn't stop. Wang Cuihua and Mrs. Gu came to the door and insisted on giving them half of the cloth they were given. They made a fuss for a long time.

In the end, Qian Sufen had no choice but to ask her daughter to go back to her parents' home and find her brothers and their wives.

The two families faced off for a long time, and in the end Mrs. Gu was defeated because she could not keep up with her speech.

Qian Sufen's natal family is not far from the Lotus Brigade, in the Yujia Village, more than ten miles to the west.

It is said to be the Yu family village, but there are not many households in the entire village with the surname Yu, but there are quite a few households with the surname Qian.

Qian Sufen's sister-in-law is a sharp-tongued and clever woman, and her ability to play tricks is unparalleled.

After Yu Shuzhen helped her aunt take care of her husband's family, she looked at the cloth next to the sewing machine and had some ideas.

"Sister, life in your family is really good. You two make a lot of money making these pillows, right?"

She and Mrs. Gu naturally knew that these fabrics were not their own.

However, she was not bad at sewing machines. Of course, she looked down on the small favor in front of her and saw the distant benefits.

If I fall in love with my aunt and can do this craft, I will be able to earn a steady stream of wages. Isn't this better than taking advantage of my aunt's house?

Qian Sufen first took a look at her smiling brother, then sorted out her thoughts and said with a smile on her face, "Oh... who knows if this thing can make money! This is not my sister-in-law's business. Son? I've been approached, and I can't refuse. My sister-in-law despises my mother-in-law the most. She doesn't want her to be involved in what she does. I can't help it!"

After talking about her own pain, when Gu Erni wanted to interrupt, she gave her a wink to shut up.

Of course Gu Erni could understand her mother's eyes, but she was a little unhappy that her mother would say such glaring words.

She can make pillows, and the people in the village don't know why they are envious of her. Otherwise, if her sister-in-law is so kind to her and gives her this job, her family won't even know how to celebrate the New Year.

Although she hasn't received the crafting fee yet, she just believes that her elder brother and sister-in-law will definitely give it to her.

Her mother said this was because her aunt begged them to do it, which made her feel very unhappy. Although she knew that her mother might just be an excuse for her aunt, she still wanted to refute it.

Sure enough, Yu Shuzhen backed down as soon as she heard this situation, not wanting to get involved in such an uncertain return.

After all the hard work, if you don't get any money in the end, your work will be in vain. It's better to lie down on the hot bed and feel more comfortable.

"That's it. Sister, you are kind-hearted. Let me tell you, kindness must be tempered. Don't be cheated by others and count the money for me! Where is Xiaofeng? Why aren't you at home?"

Compared to the boring Gu Erni, she still preferred the sweet-tongued boy.

"Who knows where that kid went crazy! You guys sit down, Shuzhen, and I'll cook! You can finish your meal before leaving!"

Gu Erni was hesitant to speak again. She originally wanted to brag. After all, her brother was so powerful now that he went to transport with the convoy.

But her mother's death gaze made her shut up, so she simply didn't want to interrupt anymore, picked up the scissors and started cutting fabric to make her own pillow.

It's only [-] cents to make one, isn't it better than being stared at by her mother?
"That boy is not young anymore. Sister, you should take care of him and let him help my brother-in-law with some work, such as collecting firewood. Isn't it better than running around like crazy?" Qian Yonggang, also known as Qian Sufen's silly The younger brother spoke.

Yu Shuzhen pushed her disapprovingly, "You know what? Boys are like this!"

After saying that, he looked at Qian Sufen in a flattering manner, "Sister, let me help you cook!"

Every time I come to this aunt's house, the food is good. It's better than what I had at home before. She won't go back without eating.

Qian Sufen didn't care about this. The helper she found should be given a meal.

If it weren't for this younger sibling, she might have been robbed of countless pieces of fabric by her mother-in-law.

It's a small matter to snatch the fabric. If the pillow is not made or the pillow is not up to standard, I will have no way to explain to my sister-in-law.

Generously, she ate the sweet potatoes, chopped a plate of pickles and fried them, and added an extra handful of coarse rice to the porridge pot.

These are not as valuable as the preserved cloth.

But looking at Yu Shuzhen's eyes, she was almost drooling. She didn't expect that the meal at night could be so good.

Liu Fangfang and Gu Liangcheng went to pick up Gu Xiaomei at noon. Gu Xiaomei's school was on holiday after half-day classes.

When the two arrived, students were already walking out with their bags. Liu Fangfang looked inside for a while, then turned back and said to Gu Liangcheng, "I'll go in and take a look. You can wait outside for a while!"

Gu Liangcheng nodded, "Okay, be careful not to get hit by others!"

She told Liu Fangfang like she was telling a child, because she was deeply afraid that she would be hurt when she was not with her.

"I know, if you're cold, go and stay with the guard for a while! It's so cold today!"

Liu Fangfang waved her hand and walked to school. In fact, she had selfish reasons for wanting to go to school. She wanted to ask Gu Xiaomei's class teacher, the educated youth Sun Yali who she had stayed with at the school, to get some textbooks.

She wants to go to college. This is her persistence. Even if her business is successful, she still wants to go to college, so she has to study by herself. She has almost forgotten all her high school knowledge.

It was extremely cold today, the coldest day this winter. The sky was also gloomy and it seemed like it was going to snow. Liu Fangfang gathered her clothes and walked to Gu Xiaomei's class.

She originally planned to go to class to find someone, but not long after leaving, she met Gu Xiaomei who jumped out.

Gu Xiaomei walked towards Liu Fangfang with two female classmates. She looked up and saw her sister-in-law coming towards her.

She happily left her classmates behind and ran towards Liu Fangfang, shouting as she ran, "Sister-in-law, are you really here to pick me up? Didn't your knee hurt? How's it going?"

Liu Fangfang stopped and waited for her to run towards him.

This little girl is really kind to her, so much so that sometimes she doesn't know how to repay her kindness.

"It's okay! Run slower!" She replied with a smile.

The voices of the two talking in the air were heard by the students around them, and they all stopped to look at them.

Gu Xiaomei didn't care, she ran over and gave Liu Fangfang a big hug, "Are you cold, sister-in-law?"

Liu Fangfang shook her head, "It's not cold. You've lost weight. Did you eat poorly at school?"
