Wang's little lady

Chapter 52: Persuading Mr. Li

Speaking of children, Mr. Li inevitably talked a lot.

"No, there is only one Miaomiao in the family, and I always want to make his life better."

"Don't call me a mother-in-law. My father-in-law and mother-in-law also dote on me."

Little Mrs. Li stroked her son's head and looked at the iron plate who was eating candied haws obediently.

When I saw the candy stain accidentally rubbed on my son's mouth, I wiped it off.

"When I was pregnant with him, my condition was not good, and my body was a little weak after birth. My family was worried that I would not be able to do heavy work in the future."

"I thought about sending him to school for two years. It would be great if he could pronounce his name. But if he can't, he would be better than his father if he could read and write."

Anko listened patiently, not feeling impatient at all.

Although she has never given birth to a child, she has seen many parents who start planning for their children early.

Especially in this life, there is a well-behaved and cute little brother in the family who is only a little bigger than an iron plate.

"Auntie, although I am not married, I do have a younger brother at home. To tell you the truth, I also have great expectations for my younger brother."

"The family also wants to earn more money. If my brother takes the imperial examination in the future, the financial expenditure will be considerable."

"Every month is worth pen, ink, paper and inkstone, which is a huge sum of money."

When it comes to children, the two of them have something in common.

Xiao Li agreed with Hongdou's words.

A nearby family sent their children to school. It was said that they practiced calligraphy every day and bought piles of paper.

Every picture, every drop of ink is money.

"Yes, no wonder there are so many people in our town but few insist on studying."

Hongdou took the opportunity to bring the topic back, "No, it's not because we don't have money, so we have to have money."

"My jelly is now fresh and easy to sell. If everyone has it, why should I come to you?"

Xiao Li was a little hesitant when he heard that the topic of Hongdou was restarted.

Although she is living a good life, her parents-in-law are still the masters of the family.

There were many things she said that didn't count.

"Girl, I really can't decide on this matter. It's not a coincidence today. If my mother-in-law were here, you two might be able to talk things out."

She is naturally willing to make money, but there are still children at home, and she has to cook for the men and clean up the housework. She is afraid that she will be blamed for being too busy.

"Auntie, I understand. So, let me tell you first. If Aunt Li comes back, will you tell her?"

Little Li can take charge of such a small matter as passing the news, so there will be no trouble.

Seeing Xiao Li nodding, Hongdou continued:

"My stall is located in the south, and most of the customers who frequent it are customers not far from there."

"But in areas other than the south, especially in the north, many people don't know about it. Even if they know, it's not convenient to come here."

"If your family buys goods from me for five cents a dollar and sells them near the north for six cents a piece, they can make enough money in one day. Not to mention it's safe in the town."

When Xiao Li heard it, there was nothing wrong with it. Everyone in her family likes to eat jelly, especially in this weather, even if it is mixed and eaten as a snack.

What’s more, you can also cook.

If someone at home helps, she can make the decision herself.

"Is the price still negotiable?"

If you get a lower price, wouldn't you make more money by selling it?

"Auntie, to tell you the truth, my price will increase tomorrow, and I will only sell it for six cents a piece."

"You can get the goods starting at 100 yuan, which is only five cents a dollar. After walking a few steps and changing hands, you can earn the difference in price."

"The price in town cannot be too high, after all, ordinary people have many homes."

Xiao Li thought this deal could be a try. She didn't think the price difference of one penny was small, and it added up to a lot.

If she can sell jelly for 100 yuan a day, she can make a net profit of [-] yuan.

That's it in one month. . .There are actually three taels of silver?
This this. . .

The more Ms. Li thought about it, the more frightened she felt. There was so much money to spend, so much money to spend.

"Hongdou, that's what my aunt called you. In this way, when my mother-in-law comes back, I will go to you as soon as possible." "You must wait for me."

She had already thought about it. If her mother-in-law and the head of the family really disagreed, she would notify her parents to do it.

At worst, she would secretly share the money with her parents' family, and she couldn't take advantage of outsiders anyway.

When Hongdou saw Xiao Li's appearance, she knew that she would probably succeed.

If it really didn't work out, it would be okay, she had planned to find someone to distribute it.

Just slowly find familiar and trustworthy people around you.

"Okay, Auntie, let's make a preliminary agreement like this. It's getting late. Let's go back first so that the family won't be anxious."

Hongdou and Xiaoya stood up to say goodbye. When they walked to the door, they seemed to be chatting casually again:

"Auntie, please stay, I'm waiting for your good news."

Xiao Li said hello sincerely.

"Tomorrow we will go to deliver the goods to Baiweilou. If you can make an early decision, I can make it for your family."

Little Li didn't expect that there was something about Baiweilou.

I couldn't help but become more curious: "Deliver to Baiweilou? Are you also delivering jelly?"

Hongdou smiled and replied: "Yes, my family has made a good contract with Baiweilou, and I will send you a few hundred cents every day."

After getting the answer she wanted, the smile on Xiao Li's face became even brighter.

Even big restaurants like Baiweilou go to Xie's to place orders, and this jelly is even better.

"Congratulations, congratulations, business is booming."

Hongdou bowed to thank her and left with Xiaoya.

Looking at the backs of the two of them, Xiao Li couldn't help but sigh, this Xie family is really incredible, they have already climbed up to the Baiwei Tower.

Just relying on the purchase from Baiweilou is enough for their family to live comfortably.

This girl is so capable, no wonder her mother-in-law always praises her when she comes back from shopping.

Speaking of which, it’s been several days since my mother-in-law went back this time. Why hasn’t she come back yet?

Is this kind of treatment from your mother's family?
Making money is not important.

On the way back, Hongdou took Xiaoya for a rare stroll.

I bought two bunches of candied haws on a stick and two clay figurines. Xiaoya ate one bunch of candied haws on a stick and took one back to Brother Tuan.

I bought some pastries along the way and took them back to my mother, grandma, and grandpa to try.

She is a good sister who keeps her word.

"Is it delicious?" Hongdou asked Xiaoya with a smile.

This girl's food tastes delicious. If she hadn't eaten it before, she would have thought she was eating some kind of delicacy.

Xiaoya finished another one and nodded with a smile: delicious.

"Let's go to the mountains to pick some wild fruits later. I'll make candied haws with various fruits at home for you to eat all at once."

Except for hawthorn, those wild fruits are delicious when coated in syrup.

Make it yourself, it's cleaner and hygienic.

Xiaoya was eating in her mouth. When she heard the good news, she looked at Hongdou and almost stopped laughing.

The two wandered all the way back to the stall.

Mrs. Xie has been looking around for a long time.

The two girls have been out for so long, how can they feel relieved?

"You're back. If you two don't come back, I will go out to look for you."

Mrs. Xie took the basket from her granddaughter and saw the cakes and clay figurines in the basket.

He started to complain: "Why are you buying these things? It costs money."

However, the smile on the corner of the old lady's mouth really made it difficult for anyone to think that she was dissatisfied.
