Chapter 36

Liu Azhen let out a "bah": "Look who dares to talk! With these two children by your side, which mother is better than you? Eat well, dress well, and teach you how to read. I'm afraid they are the children of a rich family." That's the only way, right?"

Lu Yumin wasn't quite sure whether Liu Azhen was sincere or not, but since other people were so upfront, she could only chuckle and say, "What is this? It's just that the family is too poor, whether it's food or clothing, I can only do my best." You are their fourth aunt, and you know all this because you care about the children, but others don't!"

After hearing this, Liu Azhen smiled unnaturally and said, "I also care too little about them, but I'm too busy to care about them!"

Lu Yumin understood with a look of comprehension: "Siblings also have children to take care of! If you can't take care of your own, how can you take care of other people's? Besides, it's hard to take care of them if they weren't born by themselves!"

Liu Azhen immediately responded: "Yes, yes! The third sister-in-law understands people! She was not born by herself, and if you care too much about others, you will think you despise them! Besides, I am just an aunt, and you are different from me as a stepmother. of."

Lu Yumin smiled: "It's even harder to be a stepmother! But it's enough for me to treat them according to my conscience!"

The two chatted for a while before Liu Azhen took the child and left. Lu Yumin didn't know much about the place she was in. Only through chatting with these women could she understand the world, so she was very kind to everyone. .

During dinner at night, Lu Yumin told Li Sanlin: "I'm going to go to town tomorrow morning."

Li Sanlin was taken aback. He didn't expect Lu Yumin to talk to him. For several days, she ignored him, so she hurriedly asked, "What business are you going to town for?"

Lu Yumin said: "I want to take out these straw sandals and exchange them for a few big dollars, and then buy some things for home. I think the sweet potatoes will be harvested soon, so I want to find an iron plane, so that I can make sweet potato chips and Shredded sweet potatoes."

Li Sanlin asked in confusion: "Iron plane? What kind of thing is that?"

Lu Yumin was taken aback: "Is there no such thing for sale in the town? It is a tool that can slice or shred sweet potatoes, radishes and other things."

Li Sanlin said: "I've never seen anything like this. Whether it's sliced ​​or shredded, isn't it all done with a kitchen knife?"

Lu Yumin shook her head and said, "It's not that you can't use a kitchen knife, it's just that using a kitchen knife is a bit slow and laborious. I'll show you a picture later, to see if you know this thing, so I don't have to look around town!"

Li Sanlin said: "Wuji blacksmith's shop has the most complete items. If they don't have them, I'm afraid no one else can get them either!"

Lu Yumin nodded: "I see, I will go with Ah Zhen tomorrow. Then let her take me to Wuji blacksmith's shop!"

Li Sanlin asked her again: "Didn't you ask the second sister-in-law? She is more mature and straightforward. It is not easy for you to suffer by following her."

Lu Yumin frowned: "Second sister-in-law? I didn't ask, she is too busy and works in the field every day. She is really as you said, she is indeed quite straight, and she doesn't play tricks with others."

Li Sanlin told her: "Second elder brother and second sister-in-law are both good people, you can get in touch with second sister-in-law more, but the second sister-in-law's family conditions are not good, and sometimes you have to help, so the life of second elder brother's family is also a bit difficult. .”

Lu Yumin nodded and said: "I know! If you have the ability and ability to help your natal family, you should. You can't just let your relatives struggle!"

Li Sanlin confessed again: "You go to the blacksmith's shop to make things. If Boss Wu makes things difficult for you, tell him that you are my wife, and he will help you!"

Lu Yumin didn't answer his words, just nodded lightly, then she secretly glanced at the plain-faced man beside her, and said to herself: I never thought that this man still has some influence in this town!

Li Sanlin sneaked a look at the expression of the little woman in front of him, knowing what she was thinking, couldn't help but slightly raised the corners of his mouth, feeling an indescribable joy in his heart!
Early in the morning, Lu Yumin called Liu Azhen and went to the village to wait for the bullock cart. At this time, there were already five or six people under the big tree. Lu Yumin knew two or three people. Seeing them coming, Liu Zhi smiled and asked: "You Are these two sisters-in-law also going to town?"

Liu Azhen smiled and said, "Yes, go buy some things on the suppression site, what kind of good things is Mrs. Ming going to sell?"

Liu Zhi smiled and said, "I saved dozens of eggs and went to the town to earn some money so I could buy some oil and salt. What about you guys?"

Liu Azhen said: "I just went to buy some household items, and my third sister-in-law sent the straw sandals to the grocery store."

Aunt Li Wu came over to look at Lu Yumin's straw sandals and said, "Don't tell me, this man's hands are really a coincidence. It's really a coincidence. Look at the straw sandals of Sanlin's family. It's really impressive." envious!"

Liu Azhen said proudly, "That's right, I don't know how my third sister-in-law's hands are so long! She taught me how to make straw sandals several times, but I just can't make such good straw sandals!"

Jinmei also came over and said: "I also learned to play a lot of pairs, but we are in charge, it's Lu's sister's straw sandals that fit my feet!"

Another sister-in-law woman said: "No wonder other people's straw sandals are not easy to sell. I heard that there are many people buying the straw sandals of Lu's sister! Are there more than a dozen pairs today?"

Lu Yumin smiled and said, "It's only fifteen pairs! It can't be exchanged for a lot of money, but I just have nothing to do, so let's just practice my hands. Why didn't the ox cart come today?"

Fifth Aunt Li looked at the sun and said, "Yes! What time is this? Is the old seventh delayed by something today?"

Everyone was wondering why the bullock cart hadn't arrived. At this moment, a 21-year-old boy came driving the bullock: "Aunts and sister-in-laws, it's too late for you! I forgot to put the bridle on the bullock when I went out. No, I walked halfway and went back again."

Everyone hurriedly got into the bullock cart, and the young man yelled, "Let's go!"

Aunt Li Wu asked: "Lu Lin, why are you here today?"

The person called Lu Lin immediately said: "Wu Mu, my father has something to do today, I will take care of him for a day."

Liu Azhen intentionally made him ugly: "No wonder it's so late! It's so hairless that you can't do things well!"

Li Lulin said with a sly smile: "Sister Silin, how do you know that I have no hair? Where I have hair, there is a lot of hair, but you didn't see it! How about showing it to you?"

Liu Azhen blushed: "Bah! What a rascal you are! How dare you make fun of me!"

Liu Zhi coaxed and said, "Ah Zhen, Lu Lin is so generous, why don't you just take a look!"

Liu Azhen slapped Liuzhi: "You don't want to see it, do you? Lu Lin, why don't you show it to your sister-in-law Liuzhi somewhere else!"

Liu Zhi proudly said: "Lu Lin didn't mean to show it to me, he wanted to show it to you. Not everyone can see this thing!"

Li Lulin laughed "haha": "If the two sister-in-laws want to watch it, I'm not stingy!"

Liuzhi gave a "bah" sound: "You are really not ashamed! I want to go home and show it to your daughter-in-law!"

Li Lulin said with a smile: "My wife said that she has seen too much, so she doesn't care anymore!"

After all, Fifth Aunt Li is an elder, so she "spit" Li Lulin: "You are really outspoken! Be careful to tell your wife to listen, and go back to kneel on the pole at night!"

Lu Yumin was sitting on the bullock cart with a red face, and she was lustful!The ancients did not deceive me, no matter which era, I am afraid that the topic of sex is the most widespread, right?
In order to hurry, Lu Yumin and Liu Azhen went to the iron shop at the first stop. They searched the stalls, but they couldn't find what she wanted. The shop owner said, "What do you want, my sister-in-law? I’m afraid there isn’t any iron shop in this town.”

Lu Yumin took out a vague picture he drew last night and said, "Boss Wu, look, I just want to make something like this!"

Boss Wu watched and listened, pointing to something on the painting and said: "This is very simple, just hit it with a thin iron sheet, and it won't take more than a quarter of an hour. It's just my sister-in-law, what are you going to use it for?"

Lu Yumin smiled and said, "Use it at home!"

Liu Azhen also looked at the picture drawn by Lu Yumin strangely and asked: "Sister-in-law, I've never seen this thing before. Is it really useful?"

Lu Yumin said: "Don't look down on this thing, but it's also very useful! It's a shredder and a shaving machine. It's very convenient to use!"

After listening to Lu Yumin's words, Boss Wu asked, "Sister-in-law, can you explain this clearly?"

Lu Yumin said: "I just want to use it to grate vegetables like shreds, and also to grate sweet potatoes!"

Boss Wu asked with interest: "Then how do you use this?"

Lu Yumin smiled and didn't answer, Boss Wu said again: "If my sister-in-law tells me how to use it, then I won't charge money for this thing!"

Liu Azhen curled her lips and said, "Boss Wu, you are so generous! This new tool comes out, and this is how much money I gave you?"

Boss Wu blushed: "I didn't say that!"

Liu Azhen asked: "Boss Wu, in a word, if my third sister-in-law tells you how to use the things, how much money can you give?"

Boss Wu said in embarrassment: "This thing is very easy to make. If there is more money, I won't be able to pay it."

Lu Yumin said: "Boss Wu, don't be embarrassed. Let me tell you how to use it. If you give me two sets, it doesn't count as money, and then give me another five hundred dollars."

Boss Wu thought for a while and said, "If you say that five hundred dollars is not expensive, I just don't know if this thing will sell well!"

Lu Yumin said: "Whether you can sell it or not depends on whether you can do business! The season of harvesting sweet potatoes is coming soon, I am afraid that this thing is useful for every household! Of course, if it is not for the help of this thing, it will be easy to make." I won't sell these big money."

Boss Wu asked his apprentice to look for something, and after thinking for a while, he said: "That's okay, you can't earn money by doing business anyway, and the five hundred dollars is not a lot of money, okay, that's it. It's settled! But sister-in-law, you can't buy this style everywhere!"

Lu Yumin said sincerely: "Boss Wu, this business is all about integrity! At least I can guarantee that I will not sell in this town! You have a business in this town, so you don't know how much five hundred cash you can earn, right? "

Boss Wu laughed "haha": "I can't tell that this little sister-in-law is delicate and soft, and she really doesn't speak softly! Okay, okay, then it's settled like this. Wait for the things to come out later, and you have to give them carefully." I'll tell you."

After a while, Boss Wu's apprentices came out with two pairs. Lu Yumin took a wooden board, pressed the iron sheet on top of the board, and said, "Boss Wu, look, the four The hole can be nailed to this board, and then put the food to be planed on it, push it hard, and that's it!"

Boss Wu listened to Lu Yumin's explanation, and said with admiration: "Sister-in-law is really smart, this thing is indeed very useful as you said! I hope that with your help, the shop can earn some money!"

Liu Azhen said jealously: "Boss Wu, if you earn more money in the future, remember to count some more and give it to my third sister-in-law!"

Boss Wu said happily: "Okay, okay, thanks to this little sister-in-law, as long as I can really earn money, in the future when my little sister-in-law comes to the store to buy things, I will only count the capital!"

Lu Yumin also laughed: "Boss Wu must count his words. There will be a lot of things that will be used at home in the future. If you can calculate the cost for me, then I will take advantage of it!"

Liu Azhen felt sore after hearing Boss Wu's words. The third sister-in-law couldn't see anything unusual, but she could indeed come up with some unusual things!

Lu Yumin didn't know that she kindly gave Liu Azhen a set of free tools, which made her feel a lot of sour water. Because of this sour water, this sister-in-law no longer regarded her as a weak woman, and always wanted to get it. Squeeze her!
In later life, bad things played a role of a lot of catalysts!
