Sister-in-law from a poor family

Wan Shen was really smart. Qin Mianmian just told her what to do, and she knew she had to trace the flowers first and then apply the dye.

This method is actually a simple one, and there is another method which is to draw on the picture and then embroider according to it, but Qin Mianmian thinks that is more troublesome than the dyeing method.

She knew how to do it, but Mrs. Wan Shen was worried again. The flowers she painted were not exquisite.

She is good at needlework, but her stitches are only fine, and she can sew torn clothes smoothly.

She can sew these insoles densely with stitches, but if you ask her to embroider some flowers, she won't be able to do it.

Even if she traced the method Qin Mianmian said with a pen, it would be nondescript.

It's fine if this thing is for your own use, but if you want to sell it for money, I'm afraid no one will take it.

She watched Qin Mianmian trace beautiful flowers on the insoles and fill in the colors bit by bit.

After filling in the colors, the flowers on the insole will look lifelike even before sewing begins.

"Mianmian, how did you draw this flower? Why don't the flowers I draw look different? You draw so well.

Oops, what kind of flower is this? I’ve never seen it before. "

Mrs. Wan Shen rubbed the flowers on the insole, feeling envious and happy.

I envy others who can draw such beautiful flowers. I am happy that if I do the same, I can also embroider such beautiful shoe insoles.

Seeing that she liked it very much, Qin Mianmian specially traced a few more pairs of insoles.

"This dye cream is from my sister-in-law. You can take these pairs back and embroider them first. If you feel good about it, it's up to you whether you want to cooperate with me or my sister-in-law to do it yourself."

She handed the insole to Wan Shen and said with a smile.

Wan Shen was interested in cooperating, so she was naturally delighted after hearing Qin Mianmian's words.

"Okay, okay, I'll embroider these pairs first. But sister, even if I don't embroider them, if you sell them in town, people will probably want them."

Looking at the vivid flowers on the insoles, Wan Shen said sincerely.

Qin Mianmian waved her hand: "Sister-in-law, just do the embroidery. If you can embroider well, we will cooperate.

I said before that I would help you make money, but I have other ways, and this is the best one. "

If it wasn't for Wan Shen to find a way to make money, she wouldn't have thought about this at all.

Mrs. Wan Shen was extremely moved after hearing her words: "Sister, I have remembered your great kindness. I will definitely embroider these insoles carefully, and I will show you the first one after I embroider it."

After saying that, he happily took the insole and left, his steps jumping with joy, which made Fu Chen shake his head repeatedly.

"This little Shen is quite calm. Why is he dancing like a little girl today?"

When she said this, she smiled and looked at Qin Mianmian: "It seems that you have got her right with this job. Maybe she can really make a name for herself."

Qin Mianmian raised her eyebrows and smiled: "She's done it, mother, are you happy or not?"

Mrs. Fu Chen was angry: "Of course I'm happy, there's nothing to be unhappy about. It's best if everyone lives a good life. Who wants to live such a poor life?"

Her eyes were a little tired, but pure.

Qin Mianmian naturally knew that what she said was true, but she still sighed.

"It's not easy to make some money in this village."

If you are not jealous, someone will naturally be jealous, just like the noose she placed.

"It's not easy to make money, we don't care so much." Fu Chen patted her hand, picked up a pair of unpainted shoe insoles and looked at it.

"How about I try this too?" She looked at Qin Mianmian and asked tentatively.

She is not good at embroidery, nor is she good at painting flowers, but she can't help but be greedy when she sees Qin Mianmian's painting so well.Seeing that it was rare for her to be so interested in something, Qin Mianmian thought that asking her to draw a pair of insoles might make her happier, so she agreed.

When she brought the painted insoles over to paint, Qin Mianmian secretly regretted it.

"Mom, what are you drawing?" she asked, looking at the pair of insoles dumbfounded.

Mrs. Fu Chen looked embarrassed. She touched the flowers she drew but didn't dare to answer.

"What kind of flower is this?" Qin Mianmian took it and looked at it again and again, but couldn't see it, so she could only continue to ask.

"I said this is a peony, do you believe it?" Mrs. Fu Chen smiled and asked as she folded her clothes.

Qin Mianmian:
This petal is pointed and weirdly shaped. Is it a peony?

Oh, I understand, Mrs. Chen has probably never seen peonies before, but has only heard of them, and just drew them based on her imagination.

Thinking of this, Qin Mianmian couldn't bear to say anything else.

"The painting is very good. What color are you going to fill in it?" She asked with a smile.

"Let's take this." Fu Chen casually took a bottle of light red, dipped it in the dye paste and prepared to paint it.

Qin Mianmian didn't say anything, just thinking that although Fu Chen had never seen a real peony, she picked the right color.

So the two of them were busy with their own things, and the day passed quickly.

Busy days always pass quickly. No one has come to ask for trouble recently. Qin Mianmian makes money with ease.

After using the bamboo strips frame, the bean sprouts were grown very smoothly and they could be delivered to the inn every day.

As for the inn, probably because they had never received such plump and tender bean sprouts, the sales were surprisingly good. Like the tofu they sent, it has almost become the inn's signature dish.

Supported by these two things, the money in Qin Mianmian's pocket finally increased by a positive amount.

A month later, Wan Shen’s insoles also became popular in the town.

Qin Mianmian was either grinding tofu or planting bean sprouts every day, or helping Wan Shen paint flowers and birds. She was very busy every day.

The nooses on the mountain can still tie up some prey from time to time, but most of them are wild boars, badgers, and pigs, and things like civet cats have never been tied up again.

And her noose is no longer a secret in the village, and several people besides her have begun to learn to let it go.

She didn't really care, and she didn't intend to keep using this hunting skill anyway, so it didn't pose a big threat to her.

Fu Jingbo had several headaches this month, but they were not serious. Every time Qin Mianmian rubbed them and it went away. It was not as scary as Dr. Sun said.

The man who was rescued by Fu Jingbo was almost recovered from his injuries and could still help with some work every day.

As for his identity, no matter how Qin Mianmian asked him, he would not reveal even a single word.

He and Fu Tian were chatting quite a lot, but every time Qin Mianmian came close to them, they would stop talking, which made her feel strange.

On this day, Qin Mianmian had just received two bonus points from the merit system, when the young man suddenly came to say goodbye.

"Thank you, Uncle Fu, for taking me in these days. It's time for me to leave." He said with his fists raised, and then saluted Qin Mianmian.

"Thank you sister-in-law for your kindness these days. I'm leaving now. Don't worry, no one will come looking for me. If there is, just tell me that I'm going to Qishan County."

What he said was incomprehensible. Qin Mianmian was confused when he heard it. Before he could react, he put a banknote on the table.

Qin Mianmian has been selling tofu and bean sprouts for so long and has only saved ten taels of silver.

But that banknote was for 50 taels.
