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

Chapter 9 Discovering money-making opportunities
Li Xiaoyue was stunned and looked at her father with confusion, "Dad, it's a good thing, how could you throw it away?"

Old Man Li had a tigerish expression on his face, rarely angry with his daughter, "That thing is poisonous and not a good thing!"

"This is called Shi Nie. There is an abandoned Shi Nie mine to the east of our village. Although the dug Shi Nie can be used to make iron, it is poisonous and can kill people."

"We must not use this thing at home. One year it was very cold here, and the firewood we prepared was not enough. The mountains were blocked by heavy snow, and we did not dare to go to the mountains to cut firewood, so we dug up stone nuggets to keep warm in the house. Unexpectedly Poisoned half the village to death.”

"Since then, no one here has touched Shi Nie. Chang'an, your body is already weak. Stay away from the abandoned Shi Nie mine. You will get sick if you get exposed to poisonous things."

Li Changan was always afraid of grandpa, so he nodded quickly, "I understand, grandpa, and I will never go to Dongshan again."

Li Xiaoyue was stunned for a moment, and then thought that if the coal was not fully burned, it would produce carbon monoxide, which would indeed cause poisoning.

"Dad, Shi Nie is not poisonous if it is not burned. Once burned, it will release harmful gases. As long as it is ventilated, it will not be poisoned. Otherwise, it will not be used to make iron."

"In the past, people were poisoned because they kept their rooms airtight to keep themselves warm. The gas from burning coal could not be discharged, so they were naturally poisoned."

"Actually, even if charcoal is placed in a sealed room, people will die in the room. The reason is the same."

Old man Li, who originally had a serious expression, was slightly startled when he heard his daughter's words and thought about it carefully, "Xiaoyue, what you said makes sense."

"I once delivered pork to an iron-smelting place, and I saw those shirtless men sending Shi Nie into the iron-smelting furnace, and they were all very lively. At that time, those furnaces were placed in open areas."

"If this is the case, my big pot is at the door, and I consume a lot of firewood to heat hot water to scald the pigs every day. I can use Shi Nie to heat the hot water instead. Wouldn't it save a lot of things?"

I originally thought I would have to spend a lot of time convincing my old father, but unexpectedly, Old Man Li, who has rich life experience, figured it out on his own.

"That's right, a handful of Shi Nie can hold a bundle of firewood, and it can be used for a long time if you bring it back in a few bags."

But soon Old Man Li shook his head again and rejected his daughter's suggestion.

"The Shi Nie mine on the east side of the mountain has been dug up, and there is only Shi Nie powder left in the pit, which cannot be used. If you want to use Shi Nie, you have to go to the Shi Nie mine a hundred miles away to buy it. It is too far and not cost-effective. .”

When Li Xiaoyue heard this, she smiled again, "Dad, those coal powder can also be used. Dad, I have a clever idea."

Old Man Li was suspicious, "Xiaoyue, the injury on your head is not healed yet, so don't mess around."

Li Xiaoyue came over, took Old Man Li's arm and shook it, "Dad, except for marrying Liu Yunde, I have done very well in other things in my life."

"Your daughter is very smart. I won't tell you for now. I'll give you a surprise then."

Old Man Li liked this little girl, but when he saw her acting coquettishly with him like she was a child again, he surrendered unprincipledly.

"Okay, then dad is waiting for a surprise for you." Old Man Li said with a smile. If it is done, there will be a reward.

If he didn't succeed, he would see how much money was wasted and he would secretly use his private money to make up for it for his daughter.

After Old Man Li left, Li Xiaoyue went to her fourth son's room and found pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Li Xiaoyue drew the tools for making briquettes, had a quick dinner, and went to her parents' house.

Now the eldest sister-in-law is in charge of her natal family. Li Xiaoyue's mother had difficulty giving birth to her, so she had to wait until Li Xiaoyue was one month old to pass away.

My eldest sister-in-law had just given birth to a son, so she brought her sister-in-law over to raise her. She really cared for him as if she were her own daughter.

Li Xiaoyue refused to listen and insisted on marrying Liu Yunde, which broke Sister Li's heart and made her faint from anger.

After waking up, Sister Li ignored Li Xiaoyue and ignored her.However, when Li Xiaoyue gave birth to a baby, Sister-in-law Li didn't come, but she still prepared a lot of things for Li Xiaoyue and asked her younger siblings to send them over.

When Li Xiaoyue came over this time, she happened to meet her sister-in-law, who had a full head of black hair mixed with some white hair.

For some reason, her nose felt sore, she walked over quickly and hugged Mrs. Li directly.

"Sister-in-law, I was wrong!"

Sister-in-law Li did not expect that her sister-in-law, whom she had not talked to for 18 years, hugged her and cried as soon as she came up, and said that she was wrong.

At that moment, Sister-in-law Li's wounded heart finally healed. Her rough hands gently patted her sister-in-law's back, comforting her like a mother.

"If you know you made a mistake, correct it. It's just that you made this mistake and it took a long time. Don't be afraid, I have a sister-in-law here!"

Li Xiaoyue took on the feelings of her original body, Li Xiaoyue, with red eyes, "Sister-in-law, I will be obedient from now on and will never be confused again. You raised me when I was young, and I will support you in old age."

Sister-in-law Li chuckled and completely accepted her sister-in-law's confession, "I have four sons, so I don't need to support you in old age. Just live your own life in a clear way."

"What's stuffed in your clothes? That bulge?"

Li Xiaoyue thought that she had something else to do, so she quickly took out a few drawings from her arms, "The tools I drew need to be made with iron. My dad and Wang Tiehan have a good relationship, and I want dad to take it to the town and make it for me tomorrow."

When Old Man Li saw that his younger daughter and his eldest daughter-in-law had finally reconciled, a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

He looks young, but he is actually 64 years old. How many years can he live?

After he leaves, will he still have to rely on his brothers and sisters-in-law?
In the past, both my sister-in-law and sister-in-law were holding their breath, which had always been a worry for Old Man Li.

Old Man Li was so happy that he took the drawing from his daughter's hand. Without even looking at it, he folded it again and stuffed it into his arms.

"Okay, tomorrow I will ask your Uncle Wang to help you do it as soon as possible."

Li Xiaoyue took out a tael of silver and handed it to Old Man Li, "Dad, that tool must be hard, strong and durable. I don't know how much it costs to make that tool. I'll give you a tael of silver first. If it's not enough, I'll give you more."

"No, I'll pay for it." Old Man Li waved his hand and just helped his daughter a little. How could he ask for money?
Li Xiaoyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly put the money into Old Man Li's hand with a firm attitude.

"Dad, there is no need to support Liu Yunde's education now. The family has money. If you don't want the money, then I will go to town to ask Uncle Wang for help tomorrow."

Although her father's money does not need to be paid back, she has been married for so many years and cannot always take advantage of her mother's family.

Even if the brothers are willing, don't they still have a sister-in-law and a niece-in-law?
Old Li was stunned, thinking that not everyone in the family liked Li Xiaoyue.

"Okay, I'll keep it first, and if there's any money left, I'll return it to you." Old man Li thought about it, lowered the price, and then gave the money to his daughter in private.

We chatted at her natal home for a while and had a great time. Her father and brother loved her, and her sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews, even if they had objections in their hearts, they would not express them intentionally.

This is enough for Li Xiaoyue, after all, the original Li Xiaoyue took advantage of her mother's family a lot.

Because of this, after she regained her freedom, she lived a leisurely life with a house, money and land.

After returning home, Li Xiaoyue called her five sons, two daughters-in-law, and two daughters over for a meeting.

She has important arrangements tomorrow!
