Chapter 177

When Liu Zhuer saw Liu Yingyue coming back, he kept talking to her, leaving Madam Liu unable to get a word in.

"Okay, let's go together." Liu Lizheng picked up Liu Zhuer, and the grandfather and grandson left together.

"It's finally quiet." Madam Liu breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's have a good talk."

"Okay, mother." Liu Yingyue smiled.

"Oh, Yingyue." Madam Liu frowned, "Your second brother's marriage is looking promising, and the girl is quite satisfied with him, but he... well, he doesn't agree."

Liu Yingyue blinked, "Are you talking about the Wei family from Liujiazhuang in the next village?"

Madam Liu blinked, "Yingyue, have you heard about it?"

"Yeah, my second brother said that." Liu Yingyue lied and said that she had never heard Liu Erlang say that.

She knew Liu Jilang's story.

Because the Liu family frequently asked for benefits from the Qin family, the Qin family became very disgusted with the Liu family.

Later, the Liu family encountered misfortunes one after another. Some were imprisoned, while others died in accidents. Liu Erlang became even more self-pitying and did not dare to get married.

In fact, he knew that the girl from the Wei family also liked him.

But because of his inferiority complex and the decline of the Liu family, he did not dare to get married and has remained single. And the girl from the Wei family has been waiting for him.

"Then what did your second brother say?" Madam Liu asked hurriedly.

"He said he wanted to build a career before getting married," said Liu Yingyue.

"Career? Doesn't she have a career?" Madam Liu blinked. "She's doing well as a waiter in the county town."

"Mother, a clerk only makes 800 wen a month. The boss will only reward him with a few hundred wen if he makes a profit. He only makes 10 taels of silver a year. After deducting his own expenses, he can only have 3 or 4 taels left at most. Of course he has low self-esteem."

Madam Liu shook her head. "Your father and I can help. We have saved a hundred or two hundred taels, enough to help him find a wife."

"But this belongs to my parents, not him. When my parents run out of money, what will happen in the future?" Liu Yingyue said again. "He has always been like this?" Madam Liu sighed, "What a stubborn boy. Your eldest brother didn't know anything back then. He could only throw some food in the fields and hunt some prey. But he still married your sister-in-law, didn't he? Aren't they doing well together?"

"Big brother and second brother have different personalities, so they can't be treated equally." Liu Yingyue said, "But mother, don't worry. I'll find a job for second brother."

Madam Liu said gloomily, "You should have found a job for your second brother a long time ago, so that he wouldn't be so self-deprecating."

"Mom, I've only been short of manpower recently. I didn't lack manpower before. The Qin family used to be just a farm family, and there were many long-term workers in the Qin family. My second brother can't help."

"What job do you want your second brother to do?" Madam Liu asked excitedly.

"The Qin family recently ordered a batch of cotton clothing materials from Mr. Qian of Qianjiazhuang. The quantity is huge. I used to go to the Qian family frequently to urge for the goods, so why not ask my second brother to help me?" Liu Yingyue said.

Madam Liu said gloomily, "You should have found a job for your second brother a long time ago, so that he wouldn't be so self-deprecating now."

"Mom, I've only been short of manpower recently. I didn't lack manpower before. The Qin family only had a farm before, and there were many long-term workers in the Qin family. Second brother can't help."

"What job do you want your second brother to do?" Madam Liu asked excitedly.

"The Qin family recently ordered a huge amount of cotton clothing materials from Qian Yuanwai of Qianjiazhuang. I used to go to Qian's house frequently to urge for the delivery, so why not ask my second brother to help me? Just check on the progress of the goods." Liu Yingyue said, "My second brother is helping his boss look after the warehouse in the shop, so coming to me is like returning to his old job."

Madam Liu said happily, "Okay, this is a good job. I'll tell your second brother later."

As long as you work with the Qin family, no matter what you do, your reputation will sound good when it is told to others.

After Liu Yingyue finished her work, the Liu family wanted to keep her for dinner, but at this time, Qin Yiran came.

The Liu family will always provide warm hospitality.

Liu Yingyue thought about Liu Erlang and took the opportunity to tell Qin Yiran.

Worried that Qin Yiran would disagree, she added, "I won't let him stay at the farm, he just needs to help me run errands. I won't let him collect money or deliver goods, he just needs to supervise and urge the delivery and check the quality. I still have 100 custom-made sewing machines that need to be followed up. Blacksmith Luo's shop is full of men, so it's easier for a man like my second brother to communicate with them."

Although Liu Erlang in his previous life was not involved in the Qin family's major events, the other brothers of the Liu family had caused a lot of trouble for Qin Yiran.
