Leisurely Farmer's Family: A Strong Man and His Broken Leg Son-in-law

Xiaoxue on the side listened to what Liu Yu said was interesting and came over.

Staring at Liu Yu with bright eyes, she was particularly interested in the sweet candy man and the delicate noodle man in her uncle's mouth!

Liu Meixiang, who was standing by, felt sour and bitter when she saw her daughter looking like this, and said, "I want to eat candy so much!"

Xiaoxue watched her mother look at her tenderly and nodded without thinking.

Then she remembered that her family was going to build a new house, and her mother seemed to be worried about not having enough money, so she shook her head and waved her hands: "I don't want to eat it, but I've never seen a candy man before, and I'm a little curious about what it looks like!"

The more sensible she became, the sadder Liu Meixiang became. When she saw her daughter running to her side with a well-behaved look on her face, she felt more pitiful and cute in her heart.

I also blame myself. I have been worrying about money these days and couldn't help but sigh a few words in front of my daughter in private. Maybe she will remember it.

Liu Meixiang calmly comforted her daughter, but in her heart she couldn't help but dig into her savings. It was reasonable that day, and the Wu family compensated her six taels of silver.

Later, Maolin privately subsidized himself one tael, plus the dividends he had accumulated over the years from doing business with Liu Yu years ago, the total was eight and a half taels.

I bought some homestead land, but I was frugal and frugal with the rest, but it was not enough to build three houses.

The adobe bricks don't cost anything, as long as you are not afraid of hard work and have the strength, you can build them.

The big ones are the beams supporting the roof and the tiles covering the roof.

As for the bamboo poles and reeds used on the roof, there is no need to spend money on the mountain in the village.

The wood that can be used to make beams is all good wood, but it is expensive and hard to find. The same goes for tiles. Those who need money can go to the kiln factory to buy them, but the kiln factory never takes credit.

The front roof of the house is sold at the earliest, and the back roof is sold at the latest in autumn. Even in autumn, the money in his hand will not become more. Liu Meixiang can't help but feel a trace of anxiety on her eyebrows.

"My uncle will buy it for you when the time comes. The skillful vendors not only make candy figures, but also make beautiful sugar paintings. The ones they sell are so delicious. You should be good and don't run around. My uncle will buy it." Eat it with you and Uncle Changsheng!"

Liu Yu had a husband and everything was in order. Liu Fusheng and Nian were in good health. He didn't have any urgent thoughts at the moment.

"Ah Yu, at the town meeting, is there anyone selling brown sugar shortbread or sesame shortbread? Are there a lot of twists sold?"

Liu Meixiang's heart lit up as she listened to Liu Yu talk about the snacks in town to entertain children, and her eyes looked at Liu Yu expectantly.

"Yes, but it's not brown sugar cakes, but deep-fried sugar cakes with twists and leaves, as well as steamed buns and rice krispie balls!"

Seeing Liu Meixiang's serious look, Liu Yu thought about it carefully before answering!

Forget about the steamed buns, not to mention the time required to make them. It involves flour and oil, so the cost is quite high. If it’s too expensive, few people will buy it. If it’s too cheap, you won’t be able to get it back, so it’s not cost-effective.

Liu Meixiang thought about it in her mind and quickly put in the dumplings.

When she was young, she had attended town meetings at her parents' house. After she got married, she was busy with the family and couldn't finish the farm work at home, so she rarely attended town meetings.

On the contrary, Wu Yong and his wife used their children to join in the fun, and attended town fairs in several nearby towns every year.

Thinking of Xiaoxue's experience in the Wu family, Liu Meixiang felt a little depressed. She deeply hated herself for not fighting at that time. She only wanted the peace in front of her and kept giving in, so much so that Xiaoxue never even went to the town meeting.

The Wu family and her were yesterday's news. Liu Meixiang shook her head and no longer thought about the Wu family's troublesome people.

Then he continued to ask Liu Yu: "Ah Yu, what do you think about me making some brown sugar shortbread and sesame shortbread, and frying some small twists, and selling them at the town fair?"

"You're a womanizer. You can just pull Xiaoxue up. It's nothing to be in public all the time!"

Before Liu Yu could speak, Liu Maolin frowned and spat out the words!

"Xiaoxue can grow up just by drinking the wind. Do you and I need to eat and drink? Or do we need to get food and noodles from your house every day? Or do we point to which brother to feed us? We have no money in our hands and drink the northwest wind!"

As soon as Liu Maolin finished speaking, Nian who was sitting beside him became angry.

Seeing Liu Maolin opening his mouth to argue, Nian didn't want to talk nonsense and said directly: "Either you take out ten taels of silver now to pay for the settlement of her mother-in-law, or you shut up and go back to your own home!"

In front of many people, nephews and descendants, Liu Maolin's face turned red when he was questioned like this by his mother.

Looking around at the crowd, I saw that everyone was looking down at their shoes, but no one was helping me. I felt even more uncomfortable on my face, so I walked away with a huff.

"Don't listen to your father's pedantic words. When your grandma and I were young, we used to fry mahua and sell it in the streets. He enjoyed eating it when he was a child. Now he has forgotten all about it. He eats it for a woman and doesn't even look at it. We don't have it. From these women's houses, you may be worse off than a beggar!"

The eldest granddaughter knows that it is a good thing to make progress, and Nian likes diligent people the most. Seeing that Liu Meixiang knows how to open up money, she can only be happy and supportive in her heart, and will not throw cold water on her again.

"Yes, Mei Xiang, these are all for food. Even if the sales are not satisfactory for a while, it doesn't matter. Even if you work harder, you can't lose your money!"

It would be fine if she had to help out, but if she had to provide money and food every now and then, Qi Chunhua would not be willing to do so, so she followed her mother-in-law's words and opened her mouth to support.

Qi Chunhua was so frustrated with what she was saying. Normally, Nian would have had to give her a few words of advice, but with her eldest son in front of her, she only glanced at the third daughter-in-law who was actively coming up with ideas, and gently let go of her crow's mouth.

"Of course, eldest sister, our brown sugar shortbread and sesame shortbread were selling very well years ago. There are more people in this town, and adults and children from all over the country will come to join in the fun, so the sales will only be better!"

Liu Yu encouraged Liu Meixiang with a few words, and then analyzed the main people attending the meeting for her.

After all, children are the main spenders of these snacks, so follow their favorite taste, that’s right!

It was getting late now, so it was not easy to worry about it. Liu Fan and the others followed Liu Yu, and you and I either came up with some ideas or cheered Liu Meixiang up.

........................

"I can't move alone. How about we work together and share the capital equally. When the time comes, we sell more and sell less, and the profits are also equally divided. How about that!"

After dinner in the evening, when cleaning up the kitchen, she mentioned making these snacks for the next day, and Liu Meixiang invited Liu Yu to do this business together.

"If you don't come with me, I won't know anything about it. If we come together, I'll be more courageous!"

Liu Yu also knew that Liu Meixiang was short of money and did not want to take advantage of her. She was about to refuse, but Liu Meixiang might as well say so.

Seeing that Liu Meixiang insisted on this, Liu Yu glanced at Nian who was sitting in the shadow of the lamp. Seeing Nian's nod, Fang nodded in agreement.

Nian is an old woman, but she is also a daughter who is married outside. She understands that her eldest granddaughter insists on inviting Liu Yu to come with her, but she understands a little bit in her heart.

It's just people under the roof, making various trade-offs, for fear of offending someone!

Although she knows that her grandson is not like this, if it can make her eldest granddaughter feel at ease, why not just follow her wishes!
