Chapter 65 It’s settled
Uncle Song, Uncle Song, and the others didn't know that their brother-in-law's family was selling sugar. They just thought that they would split up the family and build a new house. There would be no money left after the split, so they held a banquet. I guess I must have borrowed money.

No, seeing that their brother-in-law specifically asked them to stay here because he had something to talk about, they both thought that his brother-in-law was doing it for money.

Therefore, as soon as they sat down on the simple bench in the main room, Uncle Song and Uncle Song, who had just discussed in private, took out the money they carried.

They are coming to their brother-in-law's house to eat and drink fire wine. Last night, their father, Old Man Song, told them to bring some money with them. The brother-in-law has just separated their family, and life will definitely be difficult. Let's give it to them first. Let me help you.

He also gave special instructions, saying that if the brother-in-law and his wife didn't want it, they could just put it down and run away.

The two people in this room took out the money and immediately paid attention to Li Jihe's reaction, thinking that as long as he said a word "no", they would immediately take action.

He was about to talk about business, but before he could speak, Li Jihe was startled when he saw his two uncles coming out with two big bucks as soon as he sat down, "Big brother and second brother, what are you doing?"

Uncle Song only said: "You can use these four ounces of silver for flowers first. This family has to buy everything. We also need money for the New Year. So use it first. If it's not enough, we will give you some more later! Don't do that." What are you talking about, I borrowed this from you, and you can borrow it later, but you have to pay it back!"

Li Jihe was very moved when he heard this and said hurriedly: "Big brother and second brother, we don't borrow money! There are--"

Before he could finish his sentence, Uncle Song and Uncle Song suddenly jumped up and ran out as if their buttocks were suddenly on fire.

Li Jihe and others were stunned when they saw it, and immediately rushed out to chase after him.

"Big brother and second brother!"

"Uncle! Second uncle!"

"Brother, why are you running away! You haven't finished talking yet!"

In the end, Li Rongyu, who had quick legs and feet, rushed past the two of them and held them back.

The two of them broke free and were about to continue running, saying, "The money is just for you to use, and we don't want to give it away!"

But Li Rongyu's words came faster, "Uncle and second uncle, my father is going to say, my family has money! Really! We have made money by doing business! Listen to my father slowly!"

When Uncle Song and Uncle Song heard the word "business", they were both stunned, then turned around and walked back.

Turning around to the gate, he bumped into Li Jihe who was chasing him, "Brother-in-law! What business did Brother Yu say you were doing?"

Uncle Song asked quickly, his face full of worry.

It's really no wonder that his expression changed when he heard about the business, because the brother-in-law of his natal sister-in-law who Song had said lost money in the business was his brother-in-law!
That's a lesson worth three ounces of silver! How can business be so easy?

Li Jihe hurriedly pulled his two uncles back one by one, "Big brother and second brother, don't be impatient. Listen to me and tell you slowly!"

A quarter of an hour later, Uncle Song and Uncle Song, who were sitting in the main room, both had their mouths open in the shape of an egg and their faces were shocked.

"Selling candy? Is the business so good? Are you really making money from selling it? Is anyone still booking?" "My niece is good at it! She is really talented! Who is this candy recipe person who is really willing to give it to you?"

"."

After the shock, it was inevitable to ask questions all over the place.

Li Jihe knew that they were surprised, so he responded and explained to them one by one. He also assured them that it was true that the candy was selling well, and it was also true that there were reservations.

"So, we need seventy wooden boxes at once, and I can't do it even with Brother Brown and the other two brothers. We really need help from the eldest brother and the second brother, Dongsheng and the others!"
I have already bought the wood, and I will just make it when the time comes. I will give you fifty cash for this wooden box. What do you think, brother? "

Uncle Song and Uncle Song confirmed that the reservation was genuine. My brother-in-law's family had really received a big business, which could earn them a lot of money. He was very happy for them. He patted his chest and said, "We haven't received any carpentry work recently." All you have to do is come and help! Why do you get paid without being paid? Do you need paid to help your sister do some work? Don’t let this happen!"

If they really wanted wages, their father wouldn't be able to knock off their leg sockets with the door bolt!

Li Jihe waved his hand and said: "How can we not ask for wages? This is not just to help threshing grain or digging for two days. This is craft work! It's not just one or two people who can't do it without wages! Don't be afraid of us either. We will lose money, the labor is included in it, and we can make a profit if we sell a wooden box. Don’t worry! If the eldest and second brothers really say no, then I will only have to ask Brother Tian and the others for this job! The same goes for them. Do you really want to let others earn your wages?"

When Uncle Song and Uncle Song heard this, they thought how could they work as well as their own family members? It’s better to do it yourself!

If their father finds out that they have work to do and refuses to help him and asks his brother-in-law to find Junior Brother Tian and the others, they will get kicked in the leg!
Since this money is going to be given away, why not give it to them! They promise that even those who are in a hurry will finish the work well!

When Li Jihe saw that his uncle had agreed, he put his heart back in his stomach and agreed to come home early tomorrow morning to make wooden boxes together, so he sent them away.

In the afternoon, the lumber yard also delivered the purchased wood to the door along with the paint. Li Jihe didn't waste a moment, and immediately led the two brothers Li Rongzong and Zong to cut up the wood.

Mrs. Song took advantage of the two days when she was not making candy, and she and Li Xiangli were busy cutting and sewing to make cotton-padded jackets for the family.

The next day, not long after dawn, Uncle Song and Uncle Song came. In addition to Song Dongsheng and Song Fusheng as promised, they also brought the two brothers Song Jinsheng and Song Yinsheng.

When he saw Li Jihe, he immediately said: "Brother-in-law, you caused us to get scolded by our father when we went home yesterday! Why did we dare to work for my sister and ask for money! In the end, we managed to talk it through to our father. But my father said, let Jin Sheng and Yin Sheng also come, not to make wooden boxes, but to make some tables, benches, cabinets for your home! But you also know that these two craftsmen are not good at it. Brother-in-law, don’t do it then. dislike!"

Li Jihe was extremely moved when he heard about his father-in-law's painstaking arrangement. Their new home was built, and they didn't have anything to buy in it. They only had a set of household items that they moved from the old house, including a bed and clothes. It was his wife's dowry furniture back then. Old Man Song took Uncle Song and Uncle Song to make it with their own hands.

Now that he was not free, he just wanted to get through this period of work and then slowly put everything in order. He never thought that his father-in-law would work so hard and ask brothers Jin Sheng and Yin Sheng to help arrange some.

Not good at craftsmanship? That's all modesty. It's not a problem to play some tables and benches. That's much better than what Brother Yu has learned!

He accepted this offer and did not refuse it. This rejection also hurt my father-in-law's heart!

Therefore, Li Jihe smiled and expressed a warm welcome, and invited Uncle Song and the others to have breakfast together first, and then discussed the regulations on how to make the wooden box.

 New Year's Day is booming~
