She didn't pay much attention to the affairs of Fang Yu's family, but an unexpected development occurred a few days later - Zhang Cheng wanted to divorce Fang Yu.

Mao Xiaosui was still quite shocked. After all, Zhang Cheng was willing to cause trouble and spend more money to marry Fang Yu, so why did he divorce her?

Zhang Qing was also very unhappy because of this. "Fang Yu secretly gave the family money to her mother."

"how much?"

"Thirty taels." Zhang Qing sighed, "I knew she was soft-tempered and had no ideas, but I didn't expect that she would be so careless. The whole family depends on that shop, and the business is not that good. She herself is not married. I used to do some embroidery work for money, but after marrying into the Zhang family, I haven’t even used a needle in the years, so those thirty taels of silver are most of their family’s savings.”

"Did you... encounter any difficulties?"

Zhang Qing shook her head, "For such a naughty family, we won't get our money back."

"That's quite unclear." Mao Xiaosui didn't sympathize with this kind of person.

In a word: Stupid people need to be tempered.

But she still asked, "Does Zhang Cheng really want to divorce her or is he trying to scare her?"

Zhang Qing shook her head, "I don't know. I was too lazy to ask. He is not a child anymore. He doesn't interfere in his family's affairs, let alone make decisions."

Mao Xiaosui didn't comment, but said, "Given Fang Yu's temperament, she might not have a good life if Zhang Cheng divorces her. The Fang family doesn't pay much attention to her, and she doesn't even have a place to go."

"She can secretly give thirty taels of silver to the Fang family and she will have to suffer any consequences. In the past, her family's troubles were quite annoying, so that's it. It's not something she can choose. But the money matter... She doesn't think about Zhang Cheng or Keyan at all." Zhang Qing said with some hatred for iron.

Mao Xiaosui sighed, "Thirty taels...it's really bold."

Zhang Qing: "Zhang Cheng has been living in the shop for the past few days, and this morning he suddenly told me that he wanted to divorce Fang Yu."

Mao Xiaosui didn't ask again, how many days he could stay in the shop. What he said early in the morning was probably true.

The breeding farm has obviously sped up the production of rabbit skins since they bought a man last time. They are gradually getting started these days, and they can't keep up with the work of washing rabbit skins.

The women didn't want to see new people, and they said with a smile: "The worst they can do is go back in the dark at night."

But it makes no difference to them who earns the money, so Mao Xiaosui still plans to recruit people.

After hearing this, Li Yunshan said, "Li Xiuping and her three sisters-in-law."

Mao Xiaosui suddenly realized, "Yeah, why didn't I think of it? Her shop at home must be very busy."

Li Yunshan didn't reply. Mao Xiaosui turned around and found that he was already asleep.

After having dinner in the morning, after Li Yunshan went out, she went to the paper-making shop based on the time when the shop would open.

The shop door was open, and Li Xiuping was cleaning inside. Hearing the noise, he asked without turning his head, "What should I buy?"

When he saw her, he immediately slapped his mouth, turned his head and said "Bah, bah, bah..." three times, and scolded, "What nonsense am I talking about."

Mao Xiaosui didn't know what the custom was, so he just smiled and asked, "I'll tell you something if you have time."

"Yes." Li Xiuping quickly pulled out a stool for her.

Mao Xiaosui waved his hand and said, "I won't sit down. I just want to ask you if you are interested in washing rabbit skins. I will give you two coins a piece and go to the river outside the town. Besides you, there are eight other women."

Li Xiuping nodded without any hesitation, "Yes, how many people do you need?"

"You and your sisters-in-law."

"Okay, I'll ask my sister-in-law and the others later, and I'll give you an answer at noon."

"Sure." Mao Xiaosui responded, "You go ahead and get busy, I'm going back."

Li Xiuping wanted to send her out, but Mao Xiaosui quickly waved her hand, "No need to send her off."

Li Xiuping smiled and insisted on sending it out.

She went to the new house as soon as she came out of the paper shop. The new bed and wardrobe had been moved there, and the door plaques had been hung. The remaining old furniture could also be used, and they would be replaced after the new ones were moved in. Sweep the You can live directly in the yard.

She first cleaned and tidied up the rooms in the backyard she was going to live in, and replaced the window paper. It was already past noon when she finished the work, and her stomach was growling with hunger.

After coming out of her new house, she went straight back home and shouted at the door of the old lady's house.

The old lady whispered back, "Ruyi and Ankang are here."

Mao Xiaosui also walked in and found the old lady washing vegetables. She was a little surprised, "Are you eating now?"

Old lady: "The two children came back for lunch and found that you didn't come back. I guessed that you were busy and forgot about the time. I only cooked mine, so I let the two children take a mouthful of porridge and snacks and then went to bed. Eat after they wake up."

Mao Xiaosui nodded and whispered, "I'm troubling you again."

The old lady smiled and said, "What's the trouble? I'm afraid that my two children will dislike my cooking, so I dug out some more meat to fry. The rice is also cooked. Ankang has to go to school. I'll tell you later." It’s just right to wake him up early and go there after eating.”

Without looking, Mao Xiaosui knew the white rice cooked by the old lady just by smelling it.

She was reluctant to eat it herself and would only cook it for her two children and Qin An.

Wangwang was not in the yard when she came in just now, so she asked, "Where is Wangwang?"

The old lady pointed behind her and said with a smile, "It's behind you."

Just when her leg was rubbed, she lowered her head and glanced at Wangwang and said, "Okay, let them fall asleep. I'll go back first."

The old lady whispered, "You should eat too. I made too much, so I was afraid you wouldn't eat it."

Mao Xiaosui waved his hand, "I want to go back to sleep. I'm too tired. Don't cook at night. I'll bake sugar cookies."

The old lady said "Oh" and said, "Then you go back to sleep."

Mao Xiaosui took Wangwang back, ate half the bag of snacks hidden by Li Ruyi, and drank a bowl of water before going to bed.

When she woke up, Li Ruyi was lying next to her, her face red from sleep.

She could see through the solar energy outside the window that it was getting late. She moved her body, which was a little soft from sleep, and woke Li Ruyi up by the way.

Li Ruyi muttered "sleepy", and the next sentence was "you ate my snack."

Mao Xiaosui wanted to laugh and pinched her nose.

Li Ruyi was annoyed and reluctantly opened her eyes. She still held her arm in her hand and said coquettishly, "Mom, I'm so sleepy."

"Stop sleeping. The more you sleep, the sleepier you get." Mao Xiaosui picked her up and woke up, so he hurried to the shop. When he arrived, he saw that Li Xiuping had been waiting at the door of the shop for who knows how long.

She quickly said, "Sorry, I overslept."

Li Xiuping smiled and shook her head, "I saw you coming home at noon."

"Then why didn't you call me."

Li Xiuping shook her head, "It's okay, I'm not busy."

Mao Xiaosui nodded, "Let's go in and talk."

Li Xiuping nodded, sat down and said, "My sisters-in-law also want to earn this money, and they asked me to thank you on their behalf."

"You're welcome. You do the work and I pay you. It's an equal exchange."

Li Xiuping shook her head, "That's what I say, but anyone can do this job. If you choose to give it to us, we have to thank you."

Mao Xiaosui smiled and told her, "You carry baskets, plant ashes, brushes, and basins. It's best to bring a knife. Money is paid once a day. Take your money bag with you, as well as dry food and water." , I won’t be back at noon, so just bring whatever you think you need.”

"You guys wait at the door of the shop early tomorrow morning. I'll ask Su Yong to take you there. Someone will teach you what to do."

Li Xiuping complied obediently, took a drink of water, got up and left.
