Chapter 17 Making a Small Fortune: The Washboard (2)
Nancheng wondered, "What method?"

An Le told Nan Cheng about the idea of ​​inventing the washboard, but Nan Cheng didn't seem to understand it, so An Le asked if there was any paper and pen, and she drew the blueprints for him to see.

Nancheng went to the fourth son Nanzhi to borrow paper and pens. Nanzhi is a scholar, so he naturally has these things.

An Le carefully drew a sketch of a washboard, and Nan Cheng thought it was wonderful after seeing it: "If you use this, washing clothes must be much more convenient."

An Le said excitedly: "Since Huzi is a carpenter, why don't we partner with them. We provide the blueprints, let Huzi help with the work, and share the money we make."

Nancheng thought it was feasible, and said happily, "Daughter-in-law, how did you come up with such a thing?"

An Le smiled: "It was just a whim when I was washing clothes by the river."

"Daughter-in-law, you are so smart."

"It's not sure whether it can be sold." Anle is actually a little unsure, after all, the washboard only makes it easier for people to wash clothes. She is afraid that the market will not be good. If she can invent a washing machine, that would be great. Earn a fortune.

Moreover, the washboard is easy to be imitated, so it is not a long-term way to make money. It can only be made when it is not yet popular. Anle does not expect to use this to make a fortune, but only earns a small amount of money to subsidize the family.

"By the way, don't let your parents know about this, or the money will definitely have to be handed over to the public." An Le said suddenly: "I just want to make life easier for the family."

Nancheng thought about it and thought it made sense. He couldn't let his wife live a hard life with him. It would be better if he earned some money to subsidize the family.

The big house doesn't know how much private money is hidden in private, but he used to be alone, so it's okay to live a hard life, and besides, his parents have kindness to him in nurturing him, so he should repay them, so he is down-to-earth at home When doing things, I never thought of saving some money by myself.

But it’s different now, he has a wife, he is no longer alone, and he can’t let his wife live a hard life with him, so he nodded and said: “Okay, then let’s stop selling washboards, and let Huzi take care of it.” In this way, no one will know that it is our business."

"Yeah." An Le smiled happily. Fortunately, her husband is not stupid and filial, and she finally has hope in the days to come.

Early the next morning, Nancheng brought Anle to Huzi's house, and told them about the idea of ​​the washboard. Huzi and his wife looked at the blueprint and sighed, "It's wonderful."

Nancheng proudly said: "My wife came up with this."

Huzi's daughter-in-law was surprised: "Anle, you are really smart. You can come up with such a good thing. If you do it, you must make a lot of money."

"That's right, Brother Cheng, you really married a good wife, beautiful, virtuous and smart." Huzi also gave a thumbs up excitedly.

An Le was so embarrassed by the praise: "Huzi is a good carpenter, so we want to ask Huzi to help make the finished product. We will share the money we make, and we can't come out because of family reasons, so we have to invite you Sell ​​it for us."

Huzi slapped his thigh: "It's okay, we'll take care of making finished products and selling things. I know your difficulties. I'm afraid that you will have to hand over your money to the company when you make money, right? Didn't I say that your parents are too old?" I'm greedy for money..." I wanted to say more, but was pinched by Huzi's wife, who made fun of him, and Huzi thought it was not good to speak ill of his parents in front of others.

Scratching his head, he said with an embarrassed smile: "Brother Cheng, I can't say good things out of my mouth, so don't take it to heart."

Nancheng smiled and patted Huzi on the shoulder: "Don't you and I know? What are you doing?"

Huzi has always been outspoken and has helped Nancheng a lot, so Nancheng knows what Huzi is like. He said this out of good intentions and the truth. How could Nancheng blame him?

Huzi's daughter-in-law said frankly: "Just don't worry, just put the blueprint here and we'll do the rest. We'll make money at that time, just give us a little bit of labor."

"How can we do that? How much will we earn at that time? We will get [-]-[-] points, and your efforts will be far greater than ours." An Le said earnestly. She knew that the Huzi couple wanted to help them because they were in a difficult situation, but it couldn't be like this. Treat others badly.

But Huzi waved his hands again and again and said: "No, no, this is too much. We just help to make a finished product and sell it. This is the idea that really makes money."

"You usually help us so much, and you should repay us. Besides, there will be more opportunities to make money in the future. We will get rich together, and we will share what we will share." An Le laughed.

"Huzi, don't refuse, we're brothers, and if we talk about it, we'll be born." Nancheng also chimed in.

Huzi couldn't help it, so he had to say: "Then four or six points, four for me and six for you, that's it, no more."

Nan Cheng and An Le looked at each other helplessly and smiled, Hu Zi was just too sincere.

Because Nancheng had to rush back to work in the fields, they couldn't stay any longer, and left in a hurry after the matter was settled.

When they got home, the men had already gone to the fields, and the women were busy at home. Mrs. Wang had to ridicule them, and her mother-in-law Nan Zhao also scolded them a few words, no doubt saying that they delayed the work at home.

Nan Cheng and An Le were happy thinking about the washboard, and didn't take the reprimand to heart. They let Mrs. Zhao reprimand them a few words, and then they went to work separately.

Mrs. Wang deliberately left a lot of work for Anle, feeding pigs and chickens, cleaning the house, and tending the small vegetable garden in front of the house.

After we had lunch together at noon, Nan Duofu asked Shang Nancheng to go to Zheng's house to discuss the explanation.

It was only then that An Le remembered that there was another incident, which was delayed because everyone had to repair the roof yesterday.An Le felt a little uneasy, if the Zheng family forced their daughter over again, shouldn't she, a fake, leave?

Nancheng saw An Le's concerns, held her hand lightly, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, we're just going to cover this up. The whole village knows that you are my wife. This is an unchangeable fact."

An Le nodded in relief.

The Zheng family, Nan Duofu explained the purpose of coming, and the old man of the Zheng family was so angry that he almost couldn't hold back his anger, and angrily patted the table: "That scoundrel, how dare he do such a thing that insults the family!"

Nan Duofu snorted coldly: "She ran away cleanly, and our Nan family will become the laughing stock of the whole village." He dared not say that Zheng Qingqing was taken away by Li Fucheng, because Li Fucheng is the richest man in the village It's not good for the Nan family to offend him accidentally.

Anyway, the purpose of Nan Duofu coming here is not to find out Zheng Qingqing, so naturally he doesn't care where Zheng Qingqing has gone.

Zheng Suo apologized immediately, with a face full of shame: "My little girl is ignorant, and she did such a thing. I am really ashamed to see my in-laws again."
