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

Chapter 491 Surprise
"Uncle clan leader, are you home?" Fan shouted inside.

At this time, and it’s winter, of course there must be someone at home.

Kong in the east room leaned out half of her body, and seeing Fan at the gate, she hurried out as well, "It's Guifang! Why are you here? Come in and warm yourself by the fire!"

When she walked down to the yard, she saw clearly that the person standing next to Fan was Shi Liu. She was also shocked. She hadn't seen Shi Liu for a long time. The first time she saw her was last year when her father-in-law wanted to recommend Shi Liu as a wife for Meng Ge'er. She was not happy at the time, but she couldn't persuade her father-in-law, so she went across the street with other people to secretly take a look once, and she also saw Shi Liu's appearance. Later, the imperial edict came to Xiahe Village again, and when her father-in-law mentioned this matter again, she did not say a word.

But, in the end, it didn’t happen.

Later, when the Sheep Workshop was recruiting workers, Shi Liu came to the house again. Kong saw Shi Liu face to face at that time, but still felt regretful that the deal didn't work out.

But fate is something that is hard to explain. Meng'er was destined to marry the instructor's daughter, but Shi Liu would eventually become Fan's daughter-in-law.

Seeing Shi Liu again, Kong couldn't help but sigh quietly. In just one year, Shi Liu had grown up to be a better girl. Her demeanor was even better than that of her future daughter-in-law. She really didn't look like a village girl.

If she didn't know Shi Liu, she would have thought that Guifang was introducing a girl from a wealthy family in the city.

My father-in-law has a good eye for people. It's obvious at first glance that Shi Liu is capable of being a clan wife. What a pity.

These thoughts flashed through her mind, and they were all on her mind. Kong reacted quickly, greeted Shi Liu, and warmly invited her into the main room.

Shi Liu didn't dare to be arrogant. She called "Auntie" politely and followed Fan inside.

Patriarch Fan in the main room had heard the noise a long time ago, but it was winter this year and he had been feeling unwell and afraid of the cold, so he just stayed by the fire and didn't want to move.

When the person came in, his gray eyes saw Shi Liu first, and said kindly, "Shi Liu, why are you here? Come and sit down. You are from the old house. Have someone bring some tea."

Patriarch Fan's family also hired two maids to do odd jobs, and tea was served quickly.

Mrs. Fan looked at Patriarch Fan and asked with concern: "Uncle Patriarch, what's wrong with you?"

"It's an old problem. I'm afraid of the cold. It's nothing serious." Patriarch Fan waved his hand and said indifferently. He looked at Shi Liu again and said kindly, "I heard that you just came back from the capital. Is everything okay? The weather is cold. You are a little girl. You have to be more careful and don't catch a cold."

Shi Liu responded with curved eyes, "Thank you for your concern, Patriarch Fan. I am doing fine. But you should take good care of yourself."

Chief Fan looked at her and said, "Why are you addressing me so politely? Although we haven't entered the house yet, you and Brother Jin have already been engaged, so it's okay for you to call me uncle now."

As he said this, there was anticipation in his eyes, as if he was really hoping that she would call him "Uncle".

The relationship between Fan Jin and the Fan clan leader's family is actually closer than that between their family and the Li clan leader's family. This is a real great uncle, just like them and Li Yishan's family.

If I really came in, I should have shouted like that.

Shi Liu paused for a moment, then smiled and called out, "Dabogong."

"Hey!" Patriarch Fan responded quickly, and the sound became louder.

Mrs. Fan and Mrs. Kong, who was accompanying the guests, looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

After a few pleasantries, Shi Liu began to talk about her intentions. "Dabogong, I have a new business and want to build another workshop. I want to build this workshop in Shanghe Village. I wonder if there is a suitable place. Would Dabogong welcome me?"

……

"Hey, sister-in-law, guess who has come to our village?" Chang walked quickly into the courtyard, rushed into the main room, and shouted to Lu.

Mrs. Lu was sitting by the brazier, warming herself by the fire, and embroidering a small piece of embroidery. Jin'er didn't let her take any embroidery work, fearing that she would hurt her eyes, but she couldn't stay idle at home and loved to embroider. If she didn't embroider, her skills would become rusty.

Seeing Chang coming, Lu stopped sewing and asked her to sit down. "Sister-in-law, you are so excited. Is there any good news?"

Chang sat on a small stool, warmed her hands on the brazier, and said quickly, "Didn't I just go to Dajiang's house to buy soy sauce? I heard them whispering that Shi Liu came to our village and went to my uncle's house!"

As she said this, she winked at Mrs. Lu, "Don't you want to see Shi Liu?" "Didn't the eldest sister-in-law ask you for a flower yesterday? Now that we are free, why don't we send it to her?"

Mrs. Lu was stunned by her call and realized that pomegranate had come to their village?

Although Shi Liu was her future daughter-in-law, she had only seen Shi Liu a few years ago when she was selling fructose at the market. She had heard from her sister-in-law and many other people that Shi Liu had grown into a much better person, but she had never seen her in person. So, naturally, she wanted to meet Shi Liu.

Speaking of which, every mother-in-law has met her daughter-in-law before, but their case is special. She was very satisfied with Shi Liu because she had met her. She had proposed to the Li family before, but the Li family did not agree. Later, Jin'er impressed Shi Liu with himself, and the marriage was settled. She was very happy and went straight to propose marriage without going through the process of meeting each other.

She was looking forward to Shi Liu coming home as soon as possible, but Shi Liu was still young and she would have to wait at least two years.

"She might want to talk to uncle about something. I'm afraid it's inconvenient for us to go there now."

"We are not looking for uncle, we are going to look for sister-in-law. While talking to sister-in-law, you can take the opportunity to look at Shi Liu. We will come back after that and won't delay anything." Chang said and was about to pull Lu away.

"Wait for me to bring the pattern." Lu couldn't help but pull, thinking that she would go find her elder sister-in-law. It would be good if she could see the pomegranate, but it didn't matter if she couldn't see it, so she followed Chang out the door.

……

"New business, you want to build a workshop in our village?" Patriarch Fan was stunned and happy.

What’s shocking is how come Shi Liu has so many ideas in her head. How long has the Weifeng Express Station been open, and there’s already a new business?

She is more courageous than men.

The good news is that Shi Liu plans to build a workshop in their Shanghe Village.

As long as Shi Liu wants, he can build the workshop anywhere. Every village would like Shi Liu to build a workshop to benefit their own village.

But Shi Liu chose their village. Doesn’t that mean he has already regarded their village as his own?
Well, she is one of our own. Shi Liu will be the daughter-in-law of the Fan family in the future!
Chief Fan was delighted, and immediately continued, "Welcome, welcome! As long as you want, Shi Liu, I will make room for you!"

Shi Liu could sense that the old man in front of her liked her very much, and she couldn't help blushing and said hurriedly: "Grandpa, of course you have to go to the village for convenience, you can't force it."

Chief Fan smiled and said, "Our village is just like yours. We don't have any vacant residential land left. But there is a large piece of flat land in Washuwan. We can clean it up and build a workshop without any problem." "Washuwan?" Shi Liu was not familiar with Shanghe Village and really didn't know where Washuwan was.

Fan pointed in a direction, "Towards Tianbao Village. It can be seen from our village. It's in the bend behind the large cedar forest opposite your house."

As soon as Shi Liu heard it, he knew the approximate location. That place was quite far away from Shanghe Village. Although all the fields in the village were heading that way, it was a bit off the beaten track. It was not like Xianggupo, where you could see the narrow river opposite.

Just in case, if a fire breaks out, it will take some time for the people from Shanghe Village to go over and help put out the fire, it won't be as quick as the last time the Qinghe workshop caught fire and put out the fire - not to mention the people from Xiahe Village who wanted to go over to help put out the fire.

"That place is too far away, I'm afraid it might not be very convenient—" Shi Liu expressed his concerns.

Patriarch Fan agreed. Not only was it far from the village, but it was also inconvenient to go to the Qing River to fetch water to put out the fire because of the fir forest.

After a pause, he said, "In this case, there is no other flat land suitable for building a workshop—"

Mrs. Kong on the side thought, "If you want something close to the river, Father-in-law, isn't the old house of Uncle Seventh's family empty? Ask Uncle Yunzi about renting it to use as a workshop?"

When Patriarch Fan heard this, he clapped his hands and said, "Yeah, why didn't I think of that? No need to build a new one, we can just rent it!"

Then he said to Shi Liu, "It's not far from the school, and next to Jin Ge'er's house. It's the old house of my seventh uncle. My seventh uncle passed away two years ago. He only has one son, who works as an accountant in a restaurant in Qianping County. Later, he married the only daughter of the restaurant owner and lived in Qianping County all year round. He only came back during the New Year to worship his ancestors. This old house has been empty. I wrote to him and told him that renting this old house is not a problem, but Shi Liu, do you think it's feasible to rent a ready-made place as a workshop?"

Of course it is better to have something ready-made. You can start working right away after just cleaning it. There is no need to wait for the time of building a workshop.

Shi Liu was also very happy when he heard this. "If we can rent it, of course it's OK, but I don't know if it can be rented for a long time?"

Once the workshop is up and running, it should be run for a long time. If something unexpected happens and you have to move to another location, it will be troublesome.

Chief Fan knew that he was worried, so he said, "Don't worry. My cousin's wife is the only daughter in the family. His father-in-law has already handed over all the business to her. They have lived in Qianping County for many years and will not move back, at least not in the next twenty years. This old house is empty anyway, and it will cost money to repair and maintain it. It will be better if it is popular. You can rent it for a long time. It's no problem. If you find another good place in the future, it won't be too late to change."

As the patriarch, what he said is true.

After hearing what he said, Shi Liu followed suit and said, "In that case, I'll have to trouble you, Dabogong, to write a letter to this clan leader and tell him about it."

Patriarch Fan nodded and said, "I will ask your cousin to go there later, and I will call you when I get a reply."

Shi Liu thanked him for his trouble again, said a few words, and then prepared to leave.

Chief Fan wanted to keep her for dinner, "We are not strangers, so stay and have dinner before leaving."

It's not right to let someone go without eating. This is my future nephew's wife. But things were different last year.

Shi Liu quickly declined and thanked him for his kindness. "I would like to bother you, but there is something else in the village that I need to deal with before I return."

Although Chief Fan was curious about what happened, he did not ask further questions. He just felt sorry that he could not keep Shi Liu for dinner.

As for pomegranate, I would like to mention it here.

Patriarch Fan was shocked when he heard this. Xiahe Village was also going to build a school?
After a moment of hesitation, he felt that it should be done. Nowadays, every household in Xiahe Village has become well-off. Many children are sent to their Fan's School, but there are also children who have grown up and need to go to school. Their Fan's School really can't accept all of them at the moment. Xiahe Village has the ability, so it is right for it to build a school.

He nodded and said, "If you need any help, just tell me."

Pomegranate nodded and said, "Of course, of course."

I'm just about to say goodbye.

"Sister-in-law, are you home?" A voice came from outside.

Kong quickly got up and went out to see. Seeing Chang and Lu coming together, she smiled and led them into the main room.

"My sister-in-law said she wanted to send you flowers, and I happened to be free, so I came with her to talk to you." Chang said as she walked in. "Oh, there are guests? Isn't this Guifang? Oh, this is a pomegranate!"

Fang Xiaoding Chang was there, so naturally he met Shi Liu. Shi Liu hurriedly greeted him and glanced at Lu next to him. He had a guess, but since the person hadn't been introduced, it was not easy to call him/her in case he recognized the wrong person.

She did have an impression of Ms. Lu. Three years ago, when she was selling fructose in Dafengji, this woman came to buy from her twice. At that time, she felt that this woman was very gentle and elegant.

Chang smiled and pulled Shi Liu's hand, "So it's Shi Liu who's here! Oh, it's not easy to ask you to come to my house and sit down. Look, this child is so pretty. I sigh every time I look at her. I really wish she was my own daughter."

Chang was babble-babble, obviously a talkative person, but as if she just remembered, she quickly introduced Lu to Shi Liu, "This is my sister-in-law. Shi Liu, you haven't met her yet. She's Jin'er's mother!"

It turned out that she was really her 'future mother-in-law'. Shi Liu blushed slightly and came forward to greet her in a very graceful manner.

Lu's eyes were already full of envy, but she was afraid of being rude and didn't want to keep staring at her. However, she was extremely happy in her heart. This girl was so beautiful, very different from three years ago.

As a mother, she couldn't help but sigh that her son Jin'er was so blessed!
Just thinking that such a good girl is her future daughter-in-law, Mrs. Lu couldn't help but smile. She reached out and held Shi Liu's hand. The more she looked at her, the more she liked her. She slipped the bracelet on her wrist onto Shi Liu's wrist and said, "This bracelet goes well with your clothes. Look, it's like a flower, so beautiful!"

Chang directly agreed, "Yes, yes!"

Kong watched from the side, feeling a little envious, but also followed suit.

Shi Liu blushed immediately. This 'future mother-in-law' spoke so gently and was so kind. As a woman, she couldn't help but dislike her.

Just thinking about her and Fan Jin lip-syncing, she felt a little intimidated in front of Lu.

Fortunately, no one noticed it. They just thought that although she looked calm and generous like an adult, she was shy when meeting her future mother-in-law. Everyone couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Patriarch Fan took the opportunity to ask Shi Liu to sit back down, and they could have a cup of tea before leaving.

Mrs. Lu just came to see Shi Liu and didn't want to delay her business. Knowing that she was about to leave, she was about to say something.

Shi Liu glanced at Fan.

Fan said, "That's great. I was thinking of coming to see Dedi's wife!"
