Pampered Tian's Wife: The Little Weaver Girl in the Farmhouse

Chapter 102 Liu's embroidery beauty

On the night when the Qi family took the silkworm cocoons home, it started to rain heavily. Hearing the sound of the rain outside, Qi Tiankui was also very thankful that he had finished all the work during the day. "Fortunately, I listened to Qiaoyun's words, otherwise, our family would have lost a lot of cocoons this time. This year is very good, I calculated, our family can sell two dongs more than in previous years."

"Treat Qiaoyun better in the future, this child is not easy, our family is relying on her to make money now. Alas, Xiumei and Xiuyan can't be counted on, we may have to rely on Qiaoyun in the future " Qi Tiankui is more thoughtful and thinks about things in the long run, so he is now thinking of persuading Mrs. Liu.

In the farmyard, a lot of things can be done with two slings of money. Of course, Mrs. Liu is also happy about such a good thing.However, Mrs. Liu still felt a little uncomfortable after hearing Qi Tiankui's words, "Why? I'm not treating her well now? She's almost becoming the overlord of our family, what should I do? If I treat her better, then She still can't go to heaven?"

"Okay, don't say anything, I know what to do. She was picked up by our family. It is my duty to work for our family. I don't beat her or scold her now. I have treated her well enough. Waiting for another two or three years, letting her stay with Yongyuan can be regarded as a good place for her, isn't that what women do in this life?" Liu turned over and went to sleep without waiting for Qi Tiankui to say anything.

When the silkworm cocoons are taken back, of course they can't just pile them up and finish the job, and a series of treatments are still needed.The first step, of course, is to peel off the upper leaves, and then select the full-bodied silkworm cocoons as seed cocoons.

The selection of this kind of cocoon is also particular. Experienced people can distinguish male and female silkworms by looking at the cocoons, and the cocoons of male silkworms are larger.Tussah silkworms are different from mulberry silkworms in that they spend the winter in chrysalis.In this way, the selected cocoons with uniform proportions have to be dried in the sun for a while, and then stored properly, and they must be kept warm in winter.

Only Qiaoyun in the Qi family knows these things better, so Qiaoyun is the one who chooses to plant cocoons, while Liu's leads Xiumei and Xiuyan to pick the leaves.

The Qi family doesn't breed many silkworms every year, so Qiaoyun only picked out [-] seed cocoons, which is enough.The rest can be sold or reeled after being spread out to dry.

Northerners are not very good at reeling silk, and this work is actually very time-consuming and firewood.Therefore, most of the people chose to transport them directly to the town and sell them to the cloth shop.Cloth village is very busy every season.

Originally, Qiaoyun didn't know how to reel silk, so in previous years, the Qi family also sold the cocoons directly.Although the current Qiaoyun can reel silk, but she is too lazy to do so, and the reeling silk will not be returned to her if it is sold, so there is no need to bother.Therefore, the Qi family will still send them to the town to sell cocoons this year.

However, the Qi family harvested more cocoons this year. Even if Liu and Qi Xiumei worked together, those people were not suitable for work at all, so it would take a few days just to pick the leaves.

"Mother, let's hurry up and work. Someone from the village has already gone to the town to sell cocoons. If the cloth shop collects more, the price may come down later." Qiaoyun saw Xiumei and Xiuyan in There dawdled, a little uncomfortable, so he said.

Mrs. Liu was working with her head down, but when she heard Qiaoyun's words, she looked up and saw her two daughters looking listless and slow. "What are you two dead girls doing there? You can't do such a little job well. Didn't you hear what Qiaoyun said? If the price of silkworm cocoons drops in two days, I'll see if I'll take your skin off."

It is a matter of money, and Mrs. Liu will not be too spoiled with her daughter.Now Mrs. Liu understood that the two daughters in the family were really unreliable, and if they were counted on, they would really be hanging on the branches of a tree.Especially Xiumei, since the incident happened that night when Qi Tianlin's family went to the beam, Liu is also a little uncomfortable with Xiumei.

When Liu yelled, Xiumei and Xiuyan both trembled.The two people's minds were not on work at all, Qi Xiumei was worried about her stomach, and she was still thinking about the Sun family's coming to propose marriage.Xiuyan, on the other hand, was full of Yuan Qinglei, still thinking about Yuan Qinglei's refusal that day, and Yuan Qinglei's care for Qiaoyun in every possible way.

The two sisters are so preoccupied, how can they have any thoughts on working?At this moment, he was frightened by Liu Shi's voice, and his heart beat wildly. "Mother, aren't we working here? It's just a few silkworm cocoons, and Qiaoyun can do it alone. Why do you have to let us do it? This thing scares everyone to death, and I dare not even take it." Xiu Meiren Can't help muttering.

"Don't be afraid of being a few days later. Qiaoyun met shopkeeper Han. The price is lower when others sell it. It can't be that the price is lower when Qiaoyun goes, right? Shopkeeper Han must give Qiaoyun some face."

After listening to Xiumei's words, Mrs. Liu couldn't suppress the fire in her heart.She wholeheartedly hoped for the well-being of her two daughters, especially for Xiumei, but Xiumei caused so many broken things.Originally, she thought that Xiumei would be able to wait for her marriage in an honest and peaceful manner when she came back this time, but unexpectedly, when Xiumei had such an argument with Sun Chengzu again, Liu would get angry when she thought about it.

In particular, four or five days have passed, and the Sun family still hasn't come to propose marriage. Liu's heart is more and more uncertain, and her resentment towards Xiumei has increased a lot.Hearing Xiumei say that again now, how could Mrs. Liu hold back?He casually grabbed the stick next to him, and hit Xiumei fiercely.

"You bastard, if there is only so much work for you, why don't you learn from Qiaoyun? She is one year younger than you, how capable is Qiaoyun? You are so good, all you can do is eat. Sleep, you can never stop talking about you. Today I must teach you a lesson."

Where would Xiumei think that Liu Shi could beat her?Sitting there still in a daze, seeing that the stick was about to fall, she thought of turning sideways to avoid it. She put her head in her hands and hurriedly dodged, "Mother, what are you doing? Are you crazy? I'm not It's your own daughter, why are you still beating me?"

It wasn't too late for Xiumei to hide, but Liu's stick came very quickly, and finally hit Xiumei's elbow.This blow was so strong that Xiumei felt her arm hurt like it was broken. "Mom, you hit me? What did I do wrong? You just hit me with a stick?"

Xiumei covered her left elbow with her right hand, the pain in her left arm made her a little unbearable.Liu Shi has never hit her since she was a child, and even Liu Shi was disfigured that time, Liu Shi was not willing to touch Xiumei.What exactly happened here?Why does the attitude of the person in front of me change so much?

"Mother, are you my own mother? Just because of that dead girl, you beat me?" Xiumei couldn't accept it, so she cried to Mrs. Liu.
