Rebirth of the poor elder sister-in-law

Chapter 54 Asking for Help
"You don't know, but now Man'er is very powerful, and she will go to the town to do business. Now, I am a little envious of Ruyi's good fortune. Now she is really satisfied." Aunt Chunhua interjected. .

She lives not far from Liu Man'er's family, so she knows Liu Man'er's family quite well, after all, Ye Yuan borrowed a wheelbarrow from her house yesterday.

"Really?" said the woman, "I haven't seen your daughter-in-law for a long time. Her name is Man'er? She looks fair and clean."

Liu Man'er smiled at her: "Hello, Auntie."

"Yeah, my Man'er is quite capable. She didn't have a bright mind before, but then once, she quarreled with my Yuan'er, knocked her head on a rock, and she became smarter." Fang Shi explained to the crowd.

"Ah, there is such a thing, it's really your luck." Another woman also said, "I said that your Man'er used to like to walk around the village, looking at the east and west. Yes, but now it's been a long time since I saw her leave the village, and during this period of time, I always felt that something was missing in the village, and it turned out that your daughter-in-law was missing."

When everyone heard what she said, they laughed together.

Liu Man'er heard them laughing, but she didn't care. The original owner liked this in the past. At that time, the original owner mainly went to see if there was any delicious food in other people's homes, so that he could steal some food, but that was all in the past.

Smiling at them, Liu Man'er walked over to pick up the fabric and started cutting. While cutting, she said, "I asked my mother to call all the aunts and sister-in-laws here today, mainly because I want you to do me a favor."

Liu Man'er folded the cut fabric in half, then told them what they were going to do, and brought out a sample, "Well, just make it like this, I'm going to make some sachets, so the stitches must be tight. "

"Don't worry about that." One of the women said, "We're used to this." These women brought their own needles, and Liu Man'er remembered this. If they didn't bring them, she would really look for them. Not so many needles.

Liu Man'er knew that Mrs. Fang must have asked them to take it, so she looked at Mrs. Fang, and sure enough, Mrs. Fang nodded to her, and Liu Man'er also smiled at her.

"Then I will trouble a few aunts here, and ask my mother if there is anything wrong." Liu Man'er cut another large stack of fabrics, and distributed the cut fabrics in front of them, saying:
"I want a lot of sachets this time, and this is delicate work, so I ask all the aunts to help and use some snacks. After I finish it, I will spend five yuan per person for my hard work. In addition, I will look through the house to see See if there is any extra fabric, let everyone take a piece home."

Cloth is an expensive item that is used by every household, but it costs five Wen per foot, so ordinary people are reluctant to buy it.But the fabric must be used, so the patch also needs fabric.

Hearing Liu Man'er said that they were given money and fabrics, these people felt a little embarrassed, and said repeatedly: "No, no, we are here to help."

"Aunts, don't be too polite, I will definitely give you the salary." Liu Man'er smiled, "As for the fabric, I'll see if I can find it later."

When the women heard Liu Man'er's words, they understood what she meant. She wanted to say that if it was done well, she would be able to find the fabric, and if it was not done well, she might not be able to find it.

"By the way, Ruyi, your daughter-in-law is now the head of your family?" One of the women couldn't help asking.

"Yes, yes." Hearing this man's question, Mrs. Fang began to sew this thing, and replied: "My family is poor and white, and there is nothing to take care of. Now there are things in the house, including me. The clothes I wear are all earned by my family, Yuan'er and Man'er."

"Ah, your son and daughter-in-law are amazing, you are going to enjoy yourself." These people praised.

The recent changes in the Fang family are obvious to all. At least Liu Man'er and the others have become fair, not as dry as before, and the Fang family and the others occasionally go out wearing new clothes, and they have bought so many at home. Poultry, in the eyes of the villagers, if they raise pigs and a lot of chickens and ducks, they are considered a good family.

If there are cattle in the family, it is a first-class family.

It's a pity that there are only two families raising cattle in the entire Dawan Village. One is naturally the head of the village, and the other is Uncle Tie Zhu. The cattle he raises are mainly used as gifts for others. , so you can make a little money.

That's right, in the past Liu Man'er's family ate wild vegetables and sweet potatoes every day, how could they not be dry? Recently, they ate white rice and meat every day.

Liu Man'er listened to their conversation while cutting the fabric. When the cut was almost done, she put down the scissors, stood up and took the small cloth bag they had sewn into it.

The people Fang's recruited are all people she thinks are pretty good. They have dealt with her before, so naturally they don't say those inappropriate words. Everyone talks and sews together, and they seem to be happy of.

Time passed quickly, Liu Man'er went out from time to time to see if they needed help, to see if the fabric she had cut was enough, and then brought in all the small cloth bags they had made.

With nine people sewing together, Ye Yuan is not as relaxed as before, but his speed can just catch up, but Ye He and Liu Fusheng, who are making tassels, are gradually getting overwhelmed.

Liu Man'er helped them make a lot of tassels, and then cut the fabric, brought in the cloth bags they made, and wrote six-character mantras or drew a simple orchid on the sachets Ye Yuan made. Or lotus. Occasionally, when she is in the mood, she will also write a few Buddhist mottos.

In short, these few people temporarily formed a small workshop, and Liu Man'er was the hub that united them. She was more like a spinning top, constantly spinning on both sides.

Looking at the sachets she made, she felt very fulfilled. She felt that the sachets she made were very beautiful, and they would definitely sell well tomorrow.

But the problem is that it can only be sold for one day. It would be great if these sachets can be sold smoothly in the future, so that she can really open a small workshop and try to bring some money to these women Opportunity.

Liu Man'er thought that after the temple fair tomorrow, she would make some sachets and sell them in the town to see if anyone bought them. If there was a market, she could make these sachets when she had nothing to do, and it could be regarded as pocket money.

When you are busy, time always flies very fast, but in the blink of an eye, it was dark, and several women wanted to go home to cook, and they offered to leave one after another, and Liu Man'er went out to leave The wages of five cents were paid to them, and then a foot of linen was cut for them and given to them. These women got the money and the linen, and went home happily.

Some young daughters-in-law continued to help here, so Liu Man'er found some coarse cotton cloth in Fang's room, each cut a foot for them, and when they left, Liu Man'er brought the cotton cloth to them. up.

They naturally knew the difference between the two kinds of fabrics at a glance, and they were naturally happy in their hearts. At first, they just looked at Fang's face and helped them do it for a while, but now they didn't expect that getting the fabric would be better than leaving ahead of time.

However, some of these people who left early were their mother-in-laws, so they had nothing to say.

"The previous sackcloth is gone at home, so I dug out some cotton rags, and when you go back, tell your mother-in-law, don't say that I favor one thing over another." Liu Man'er said while giving the things to them.

"No, no, how could it be." These young daughters-in-law said again and again.

It's too late for them to be happy, anyway, they are idle at home anyway, this cotton cloth is a good thing, at least it costs six or seven yuan, plus five yuan for wages, this afternoon they earned the equivalent of ten yuan Well, aren't you happy?

"Thank you for your hard work today, next time I have something to do, I will ask my sisters-in-law to help." Liu Man'er said with a smile.

"It's not hard, just call us next time if you have something to do." These women walked out while talking.

Liu Man'er sent them to the gate and turned back. She was a little tired after a busy day today.

Mrs. Fang was already cooking, and Ye Feng also came home. Seeing that something was going on at home, he also came to help. After Liu Man'er saw it, she didn't say anything. Anyway, there was not much work left, so let them finish it together quickly. , it's over.

Ye Qing went to that restaurant today, I heard that he was going to live there, so he won't come back if there is nothing to do, now that there is one person missing in the house, Liu Man'er is still not used to it, you know, she usually has to mess with Ye Qing every night Bickering, now this boy left stubbornly.

Liu Man'er also feels a little guilty, she is such an old person, it's okay to argue with a young man, she clearly knows that Ye Qing is a bit stubborn, she originally wanted to make him succumb, who knows that he not only doesn't study, he doesn't even stay at home, Go directly to the restaurant outside.

Sighing, Liu Man'er pushed Ye Tianchen in the cradle and sang nursery rhymes.

Ye Tianchen had already woken up a long time ago, but he didn't cry too much. Fang urinated for him, and Liu Man'er fed him rice soup again. After he was full, he put him in the cradle and looked at him from time to time. At first glance, he kept his eyes open, looking left and right.

"My mother." Liu Man'er teased.

Ye Tianchen couldn't speak, but just giggled at her, Liu Man'er's heart softened, she said to Ye He and Liu Fusheng, "From now on, if you have nothing to do, take Tianchen to play, talk to him if you have nothing to do, he You're already this big, it's time to learn to walk and talk."

"Understood." The two quickly nodded in agreement.

Liu Man'er continued to tease Ye Tianchen. She felt that it was not good for him to lie in the cradle all day long, so she took him out of the cradle and put on tiger shoes for him. She wanted to teach him to walk, but the child didn't even Unable to stand up, Liu Man'er put him on Fang's bed and asked him to crawl by himself, but he crawled quite vigorously this time, but it disturbed Ye He and the others to do things again.

Liu Man'er took him down again, put him back in the cradle, and said to him, "Be good, I'll go to work first, and when I'm free, I'll play with you, talk to you, and teach you how to walk. "

Such a big child, who can't walk or stand still, made her feel sad when she thought about it.
