Rebirth of the poor elder sister-in-law

Chapter 68

After a while, Liu Man'er came back from the backyard, and the two swaying geese were still following behind her. As soon as Fang heard what Ye Yuan said, she joked with Liu Man'er: "Man'er, you came back from inspection, and there are two geese behind you. Only imperial envoys."

Liu Man'er looked back and saw the two swaying geese. She bent down and smoothed the hair of the two geese, and the two geese squatted down enjoying themselves, narrowing their eyes.

"Our two geese are so good, we should reward them with some grains." The two geese seemed to understand her words, and when she stood up, they flapped their wings and shouted happily.

"Man'er, you are really good at raising poultry. My mother is not as good as you. Today, Aunt Chunhua asked me how I raise these poultry so well. I can't answer." Fang said He said to Liu Man'er, "Man'er, what secret do you have, tell your mother."

"I don't have any secrets." Liu Man'er laughed: "You see, I talk to them from time to time. This animal has a spirit. If you get along with it for a long time, it will tell you something, such as Now, its eyes are narrowed, just want to take a nap, they bark, just want to eat, you satisfied it, it just grows fast.”

"That's the truth." Fang nodded, but they just couldn't learn it.

Seeing Fang's thoughtful look, Liu Man'er pursed her lips and smiled, then went back to her room.

On her desk, there are still a lot of things waiting for her to paint tweed, not to mention, she is still working as a part-time quality inspector, and she has very little free time every day.

But after working for a long time, the speed has also increased. It may be because of the busyness. Every day passes quickly, and it passes by.

It's just that after doing it for a long time, I feel a little monotonous and boring, not to mention, it's a little difficult for Ye Yuan, peeling this kind of wooden beads every day makes my hands sore.

"After a while, we won't do this business anymore." Ye Yuan felt sorry for Liu Man'er's tiredness, and Liu Man'er also felt sorry for Ye Yuan. Every night, the two of them helped each other to compress their wrists, which was very warm.

"It's okay, I'm not tired." Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "It's just that when I went to the county town recently, the shopkeeper in the county town said that there seemed to be counterfeit goods, and some of them couldn't be sold now."

"That's right, then I'll turn it off." Liu Man'er said, "I'll design something new after we rest for a while. Our sachets and dolls are easy to imitate, and there are always some people who are greedy for cheap and buy imitations. Taste."

"Okay." Although Ye Yuan was not tired of talking, when Liu Man'er made such a proposal, he agreed without hesitation.

He always peeled this wooden bead, and he felt a little tired. Although he could bear it, it was all because of Liu Man'er and this family. If he was really asked to peel wooden beads every day, he might as well go hunting.

"Well, it just so happens that we have saved some money recently. Tomorrow, you can go to the Li Chang's house to talk about buying the land, and buy all the land behind and on the side of our house." Liu Man'er suggested again.

"Okay." Ye Yuan also nodded in agreement.

Ye Yuan originally thought that Liu Man'er would open the workshop for another two days, but Liu Man'er closed it the next day, and apologized to those who came to help, saying:

"My aunts, the things we made can't be sold now, so we closed the workshop in desperation. If I can still do this business in the future, I will ask you to come. I wanted to tell you yesterday. , but it’s not easy to speak for a while, after thinking twice today, I decided to say it earlier.”

Hearing what Liu Man'er said, these people sighed a little, some were worried about what to do with what Liu Man'er was holding now, and more people regretted that they had no chance to earn pocket money.

Liu Man'er didn't care what they thought, and after apologizing repeatedly, he gave each of them another piece of fabric. Seeing that Liu Man'er was willing to take out the fabric generously, they really believed that Liu Man'er's business could not continue.

During this period of time, rumors have been circulating in the village, saying that the Ye family has made a lot of money and is able to hire people, but now, the wind direction in the village should change again.

There must be a lot of gossiping women gossiping again. As for the content of their gossip, Liu Man'er knows without thinking, it is nothing more than: "I know his family's business can't go on, so it's a loss, it deserves it." etc. kind of discourse.

Including those who used to work at Liu Man'er's place, they also said that they had long thought that Liu Man'er's business would not be able to continue, and it was as expected.

Fortunately, Liu Man'er was busy all day and had no time to think about these things, otherwise, she would definitely be pissed off by these people.

But Aunt Chunhua was quite worried. After everyone else had left, she stayed and asked with concern: "Is your business okay? Is it really impossible to continue? Does it matter? The rest of these things Do you want us to help you sell it?"

"No need." Liu Man'er shook her head and said, "The main reason is that there are many imitations in the county. Their prices are low, and we don't have the capital to compete with them for the market."

"Then let's sell it at a lower price." Aunt Chunhua hurriedly said.

Liu Man'er laughed, "Their wages are very low, and everyone is from the village. The wages are too low, and I can't do it."

Aunt Chunhua was speechless when she heard Liu Man'er say that.

Seeing that Aunt Chunhua still looked worried, Liu Man'er said, "It's okay, anyway, I made some money during this period of time, thanks to everyone's help."

"It should be, it should be." Hearing Liu Man'er say this, Aunt Chunhua didn't say much, and went home with the cloth.

Liu Man'er and Ye Yuan looked at each other, and then explained to Fang behind her: "Mother, the actual situation is exactly what we said."

"You two children, the business can't go on, so just say, what's so embarrassing about it, why do you let them do so much?" Fang said with some reproach.

Liu Man'er knew that she was worried that the rest would not be sold, so she said, "Mother, don't worry, we can sell these, go to the county town tomorrow, it's almost done, as for the rest, we will arrange them in the future." Shopkeeper Tao’s restaurant is slowly selling.”

"That's right, anyway, as long as you don't lose money, you don't have to be too sad." Fang in turn comforted Ye Yuan and Liu Man'er.

Liu Man'er nodded again and again, she and Ye Yuan exchanged glances, and they followed Fang's back and walked slowly towards the main room.

If Fang knows that the two don't want to do this business because they are tired and want to be lazy, I don't know what Fang will think, he will definitely scold them, right?But it's not necessarily true, Fang's people are so nice, they should just complain a few words and let it go.

"Mother, it's actually good that this workshop is closed. During this time, we plan to buy land and renovate the house." Liu Man'er walked up to Fang's again and discussed with Fang's.

"Buying land?" Fang raised her eyes, "Do you have enough money? I still have some here."

"Enough is enough." Liu Man'er walked to Fang's side and sat down, and said, "Actually, we have earned more than 50 taels of silver during this period of time. If we buy land and build a yard, it should be enough, right?"

"That's enough." Fang nodded and said, "I didn't expect your small business to be quite profitable. It seems that we have only opened this workshop for more than two months."

"Well, yes." Liu Man'er nodded, and said, "Mother, can you come up with an idea, Ye Yuan and I will buy the land first, and after the autumn harvest, let someone help us build the house, okay?"

"Okay." Fang thinks this is good, after all, the time flies, and it will be summer in the blink of an eye, and the crops in the field should be harvested.

"If the workshop is still open, our family's peanuts may not be collected back." Fang said with a smile, "Everything is rewarded, you two don't feel sad."

"No, no." Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "This road won't work, let's go another way."

"Yes, this is the way of life, Yuan'er, your idea is very good." Fang praised, she was always worried that Ye Yuan and Liu Man'er would be hit because of the failure of the business this time, who knew, it was them The two gave up on their own initiative.

In fact, Liu Man'er has a lot of wonderful ideas in her mind. If she really wants to do it, no matter how imitated those people are, they will not be able to keep up with her speed. It's just that she doesn't want to make herself too tired, and she wants to take a break.

Maybe he is a lazy person in his heart. A little wealth means peace. With a little money, he doesn't have such an urgent desire to make money, so he starts thinking about being lazy.

Liu Man'er plans to wait until the house is built, and then go to the county to buy two servants. Then she won't have to do these things. At that time, she will reopen the handicraft workshop, but at that time, she will I opened my own shop.

It's good to be free, and you can also play with Ye Tianchen. Now this little guy can walk, staggering around the house all day, he looks quite cute.

It is said that Ye He's paintings can be seen now, although they are not as good as Liu Man'er's, but after a period of practice, it will be almost the same. Liu Man'er gave her a big task, and she said: "When you have mastered this painting skill , that is when my workshop reopens."

Ye He shook her head in fright at these words, saying that she couldn't do it.

In fact, it was just a joke with Liu Man'er when she was a child, but seeing her shrink back like this, she really became half-serious, "It's all up to you, my sister-in-law is drawing tricks these days, her hands are almost useless, you have to Hurry up and grow up to help sister-in-law."

Hearing what Liu Man'er said, Ye He solemnly nodded and agreed, "Sister-in-law, I will definitely work hard."

"Okay." Liu Man'er patted Ye He's head, and continued to inspect her poultry and livestock in the backyard.

It has been several months, these chickens have grown up, some roosters are ready to be slaughtered, and the hens are about to lay eggs. This ewe seems to be pregnant again. As for the rabbit, it has already given birth to several litters. As cubs gave birth again, there were more and more rabbits, Liu Man'er didn't sell them, but asked Ye Yuan to dig a few holes to make nests for the rabbits.

Just kidding, she is the one who wants to open a rabbit farm, such a few little rabbits are not enough at all.

But the rabbits reproduce very quickly, and when the house is built, it should be almost ready to sell.

It's still a good deal to raise rabbits. She is tired of making sachets every day and her back hurts. She comes to see the rabbits every day and sees how happy they are.

Liu Man'er was really tired because she was running a workshop and was busy with the workshop, housework, and taking care of the poultry. Now she finally relaxed, but the weather is getting hotter.
