The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 280 Why are you here if you don't have a short life

There are more than one hundred households in the Fan family. More than a year ago, the poorest family lived better than most families in Xiahe Village.

Among them, the clan leader Fan could be called a local landlord, as his family owned hundreds of acres of land.

The principal of the Fan family school is the younger brother of the Fan clan leader, who is also a scholar. The two of them also have another brother, who is the father of Mr. Fan, but he is no longer alive.

These three branches are the direct descendants of the Fan family, just like the Li family.

The Fan family was already wealthy, and the eldest branch of the family had a lot of land and property. Even though he was not the eldest son, he still got much more of the family property than the eldest sons of other families.

Most of them knew about these things even though they were separated by a village.

Take Fan's dowry of twenty loads and twenty boxes of silver, for example. That was already something that everyone in the village was amazed and envious of. But the amount of money that the daughter of Patriarch Fan got married with was several times that of Fan's.

This shows the financial situation of those families.

If it were before, such a condition would really make the Song family happy, but they had just rejected a landlord before. Not only was his family wealthy, but he was also a student.

So at this moment, the Song family was really calm.

He glanced at his daughter and saw that she didn't react, so he couldn't help but pick up the conversation, "Sister-in-law, how is the child?"

Mrs. Fan couldn't help feeling embarrassed. As for conditions, the conditions of her eldest nephew's family were among the best in the surrounding villages. They had dozens of acres of top-quality paddy fields, savings, a big house, and he was the only child. She didn't have to worry about having to give away a share when the family was divided. Everything was hers. The family was simple and there were no worries.

But what a talent this is.
Mrs. Fan glanced at Shi Liu and said thoughtfully, "This child has a good temper and studies hard. He lost his father when he was young, so he is capable of taking on responsibilities, but he is a little weak. However, after a serious illness, he looks pretty good now. Otherwise, how could he have been able to take the exam and pass it?"

After all, she was her own cousin, and Fan could not lie without a clear conscience. She naturally told the truth. The child was good in every way, except that her health was a little poor. She had often heard from her parents in the past that the child was weak and would not live long.

After a serious illness the year before last, she has gradually recovered. She went back to see her during the Chinese New Year and her complexion was good, but she still looked a little weaker than her son.

And the main thing is that Shi Liu's conditions are not bad at all, not inferior to that of her eldest nephew, so she didn't have the confidence to say it, and naturally she would not hide anything when she spoke.

Is it okay to make up stories? They will all be exposed once you see them.

When Song heard that the child was weak, she couldn't help but frown. It was said that the child's father seemed to have died of illness? Was this a family tradition?

This child won’t live long, right?

Bah, bah, bah, it’s not a curse, that’s what she thought.

Her daughter Shi Liu couldn't be a widow, no matter whether she was in better health now or not. Song couldn't make this bet. Without thinking too much, she didn't think highly of this marriage.

But after all, it was my cousin's wife who said it, and it would not look good to refuse outright, so she smiled and said she would consider it.

Fan also saw what she meant, but she didn't say it out loud at the moment. She just said, "We have to think about it carefully. We can't be careless about the marriage of our children. Then, aunt, sister-in-law, I will go back first."

After seeing off Mrs. Fan, Mrs. Song returned to the main hall and said to Mrs. Yuan, "Mother, I don't think this marriage will work out."

Old Yuan also nodded, "No, everything else is fine, but this body can't do it."

Every family that chooses a date for their daughter hopes that the candidate is in good health, preferably as strong as a calf. A skinny guy is fine, but how can he live?

Seeing that her mother-in-law shared the same idea as her, Song made up her mind and looked at Shi Liu, "Shi Liu, what do you think? Do you want to meet each other?" Shi Liu listened from beginning to end, and naturally understood it in the end. She was secretly wondering whether this was the fellow villager's mother's idea or the fellow villager also had some interest in it?
What are you doing? Are fellow villagers harming fellow villagers?
To be honest, this family is simple, with just a mother and two of them. The man is also in poor health and won't live long. What perfect conditions!
It just so happened that he didn't encounter a good time, and his heart had already changed. Naturally, he would not die now.

If she's not short-lived, why would she come?
She refused right away, and of course she couldn't use her frail body as an excuse. After all, she would definitely find someone frail to report back to later.

"No, no, this condition doesn't sound that good, it's not as good as the Zhou family's."

Song nodded and said, "Okay, I will go back with your cousin tomorrow."

Putting this matter aside, the few of them continued to learn knitting.

On the other hand, the next day, Lu received a reply and learned that the Li family had rejected the marriage. She was well prepared. She couldn't say she was disappointed, but she could not help feeling a little regretful.

"It's okay. I'll find you another suitable one."

Fan Jin:.
Didn’t his fellow villagers like him?

What's wrong with him?
He lowered his head and looked himself up and down.

Hmm, it seems a little bit worse.

Although, I was really hit hard.

Humph, as long as he concentrates on training, sooner or later he will become eight feet tall and strong!

-

The rain lasted intermittently for half a month. During this half month, Shi Liu taught the Song family all kinds of knitting patterns. Except for Old Yuan, Song and Lin who were a little slower, Li Xiangli, Chunxiaqiudong and Hu Zhen's wife were already very proficient in it and could even come up with new patterns on their own.

The results were remarkable. Shi Liu waved his hand and led them straight into the sheep workshop. Except for the eighty people who continued to work on the assembly line, the remaining two hundred and twenty people all started to learn knitting.

Shi Liu and his men divided the work, with each leading two groups. After working for half a month, they brought more than 200 people on the road.

They are all young wives and girls with nimble hands and feet, so it is not difficult to learn.

More than two hundred people were divided into groups, some knitting woolen sweaters, some knitting woolen trousers, they knitted whatever was needed, there were different patterns for the old people, men, women and children.

While work was in full swing on this side, the milk slice workshop was also running in an orderly manner. Sugar shops were opening one after another, and the days had entered the hottest month of June.

In the past, the conditions were not there, so it didn’t matter how hot it was. After all, there was no other way, right?

But now that the conditions existed, Shi Liu became fussy. He could not stand the heat at all. Putting an ice basin in the house was a bit of a luxury. So Shi Liu simply took his family to the farm to escape the summer heat.

Naturally, we went to Dazaozhuang. It must be said that Mr. Liu put a lot of thought into this manor. There was nothing to fault with it. The house was surrounded by a large bamboo forest. The breeze swayed the house, and it was very cool. Even at the hottest noon, we could open the windows and feel very comfortable. We had to cover ourselves with a quilt when we went to bed at night, otherwise we would catch a cold.

The farm is large, with many rooms inside and outside the main courtyard. The whole family came, and the Song family also brought old man Song as well, so it is completely fine for each person to live in a room.

Old Man Li and Old Man Song now had company. They would go out for a walk together in the morning and evening. After lunch, they would lie on the recliners in the hallway, enjoy the breeze, and take a nap, feeling very comfortable.

As for the old Yuan family, Shi Liu dragged them to play cards and chess, and then had a bowl of iced fruit salad after a nap. After dinner in the evening, they strolled around the village. Their day was very fulfilling.
