The best old woman is too fierce, stepping on her ex-husband and beating up her traitorous son!

Chapter 145
I've been really busy during this period.

Everyone in Lihua Village never stops.

Even after Li Xiaoyue has arranged things, she will come to the workshop from time to time.

The busyness of Lihua Village even diluted the fighting spirit of the black clouds in Lanshan County.

It was getting cold, so Li Xiaoyue put on a thin sweater, which was knitted for her by her eldest daughter-in-law.

There were many maids and servants around Old Madam Gongsun, and they had long knitted sweaters for Old Madam Gongsun and Gongsun Lian.

"Xiaoyue, this sweater is really good." Mrs. Gongsun was full of praise. "It's not too cold now, so wear a thin sweater. When it gets cold, you can wear a thick sweater."

Li Xiaoyue chuckled, "The most indispensable thing here is wool. I will make a lot of money for one year. When the price drops next year, more people can wear sweaters."

Mrs. Gongsun nodded, "Xiaoyue, let me give you a suggestion. Although I don't mind wearing the same clothes as ordinary people, some people with higher eyes don't think so."

"You make the best and softest wool from the sheep into the best yarn, and sell it to those rich and powerful people at a high price. If you sell it cheaply, people won't be willing to buy it."

"The mid-range ones are sold to people with small assets; and the remaining ordinary ones can make the most wool and are cheap and sold to ordinary people."

"In this way, you can not only make money, but also provide ordinary people with an extra piece of clothing to keep out the cold."

"On the contrary, if you don't do this, next year, you won't be able to sell it at a high price; ordinary people won't be able to afford it. That would be embarrassing."

Hearing this, Li Xiaoyue's eyes lit up, "Old madam, please wake up the dreamer with your words. Next year, I will definitely have many competitors."

"How to do better than them? You can start with what you just said, starting with dyeing, so that you can make yarn that is different from others and better."

Mrs. Gongsun was also very happy to see that Li Xiaoyue listened to her suggestions.

"Haha, this is Qian Jian. Over the years, I have also managed my family's business, and I have some experience. As long as it is useful to you."

When I came to Lihua Village, I thought I wouldn't be used to living there, but now Mrs. Gongsun doesn't want to leave.

Sleep on the warm kang at night and have a good night's sleep.

Get up in the morning, drink a cup of chrysanthemum tea to relieve internal heat, and feel refreshed.

After spending time together, the relationship between Mrs. Gongsun and Li Xiaoyue's family has become closer.

Life is busy, hard but fulfilling.

In the early morning of this day, a fast horse galloped from Lanshan County through Lihua Village.

Gongsun Lian and Major General Huo came down from Dongshan Military Camp and went straight to Lanshan County.

Niu Dazhuang got Gongsun Lian's advice and went straight to Lihua Village.

"Aunt Li, the Major General and the military advisor reported to the street that the Qi State has assembled an army of 13 troops to besiege Zhenxi Pass."

"Get food and supplies ready. Don't go out casually. If you travel, be sure to go together."

Li Xiaoyue was shocked, "What was supposed to come has finally come. Da Zhuang, be careful and protect Mr. Gongsun. When you are done, Mr. Gongsun comes back and comes to my place."

"Okay, I will convey it to the military advisor. Don't worry, Aunt Li, I will protect Mr. Gongsun with all my strength." After Niu Dazhuang finished speaking, he was about to leave.

"Chang Huan, bring the freshly made sesame cakes to Da Zhuang." Li Xiaoyue said to her daughter behind her.

Early in the morning, it became clear that they had not eaten.

"Here we come." Li Changhuan put the bacon biscuits made at home in a food box and brought them to Niu Dazhuang.

Niu Dazhuang was not polite and took it, "Thank you sister Changhuan."

"Brother Dazhuang, be careful!" Li Changhuan waved his hand and watched Niu Dazhuang ride away.

"Don't worry, we will definitely win." Niu Dazhuang smiled heartily, waved his hand, and left quickly.

Watching Niu Dazhuang's back getting smaller and smaller, Li Xiaoyue finally looked back.

War is the most cruel, I hope fewer people will die.

Li Xiaoyue came to the workshop, and only Wen Xiaolan was inside.

"Xiaolan, you are the only one here. Where is Changlu? Have you gone to the workshop?" Wen Xiaolan shook her head, "I'm not patrolling in the workshop. I said I had something to do in the county."

"Do you know what's going on?" Li Xiaoyue asked, frowning slightly.

It seems that the last time I came here, Li Changlu was not there either.

Wen Xiaolan shook her head again, "I don't know, he didn't tell me even if I asked."

"However, based on my understanding of the entire workshop and the wool trading, it shouldn't be a big deal."

"Hmph!" Li Xiaoyue snorted coldly, "The workshop has done all the hard work for you."

Li Changlu must not be doing anything serious.He wants to die, but Li Xiaoyue won't stop him.

"How long will it take to complete the orders from the Qi family, the Qian family, and the Xie family?"

Wen Xiaolan replied: "It will take half a month to get back to Madam. According to my prediction, after completing the orders from the three companies, we can still make two thousand kilograms of wool with the remaining wool."

"Should we keep it for our own use, or take it to the shop and sell it?"

Li Xiaoyue thought for a while and said, "Keep them all. If any workers want to buy them, they will be sold at half price, but each person can only buy one catty."

"By the way, leave five hundred catties for my family, for personal use and as gifts."

"Yes, madam." Wen Xiaolan agreed and saw that Li Xiaoyue was a little nervous, "Madam, what's wrong?"

Li Xiaoyue sighed, "There's going to be a war."

Wen Xiaolan's heart skipped a beat, "Madam, can we win?"

"Yes!" Li Xiaoyue believed in Gongsun Lian and the power of gunpowder.

Wen Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as we can win."

"It's true that this Qi country goes to war every ten years, and many people die every time. Aren't they afraid of death?"

Li Xiaoyue saw that Wen Xiaolan couldn't understand, so she patiently explained.

"It's nothing more than that after more than ten years of recuperation, Qi State's population has increased. At the same time, internal conflicts have increased, and it has to go to war."

Wen Xiaolan was stunned, "Isn't it just to come to Da Yan to rob you?"

"This is just one aspect." Li Xiaoyue replied, "There are many people on the grassland, but the number of people that can be fed on the grassland is certain."

"If we exceed the quantity, we will fight a war. If we win, we can grab supplies and alleviate domestic shortages."

"If they lose the battle, many people will die. In fact, they will have accomplished their goal. After all, the number of people will be reduced, and the supplies on the grassland will be able to meet their needs."

Hearing this, Wen Xiaolan was stunned, "Madam, it turns out... war can still be like this!"

"After all the beatings, the biggest loser is us, Da Yan!"

Li Xiaoyue nodded, "Yes, that's why there is a saying that if you are willing to fight, you will perish, and if you forget to fight, you will be in danger."

Wen Xiaolan was thoughtful and felt that she had learned something from Mrs. Li.

Li Changshou came in excitedly from the outside with a sharp dagger in his hand.

"Xiaolan, look what I brought you?"

"Mom, why are you here?"

Li Xiaoyue chuckled, "If you think my mother is an eyesore, fine, I'll leave."

"mother!"

"lady!"

Li Changshou and Wen Xiaolan spoke at the same time. They looked at each other and turned away.

"Okay, you guys can talk slowly if you have anything to say, I still have something to do." Li Xiaoyue went out before her third son and Wen Xiaolan could speak again.

She is a grandmother, so she can’t be blind!
