After marrying sick Yangzi, I made my whole family rich

Back at the Lu family, Xu Mengxiao solicited Lu He again and asked him to help him design something.

The books, pen, ink, paper and inkstones sent by Lin Gui were not favored by Zihan for the time being, so she showed them to Lu He and Uncle Li Zheng.

The pens, inks, paper and inkstones were also divided between them in half, and the other half was saved by Zihan so that he could use it later.

Lu He followed her request and wrote the words "Li Ji Waterwheel" on the paper.

"No, this one is too elegant and timeless. It looks like a master calligrapher and is not down to earth."

Lu He smiled and wrote another one. The four characters penetrated the back of the paper and were majestic, like a dragon breaking through the limitations of the paper and coming toward his face!

Xu Mengxiao had a shocking feeling of being captured, and then she realized that this was probably Lu He's real handwriting - not as beautiful as the previous one, but weak and weak.

The books that Uncle Li Zheng gave Zihan had the former type of handwriting, which were probably the annotations left by Lu He in his early days...

"The calligraphy is very nice." Xu Mengxiao pretended to be an outsider and praised it, "But it still needs to be simple and down-to-earth."

Lu He designed a font called "Liji Waterwheel" that is upright and somewhat distinctive. It is not only simple and regular, but also a bit honest and cute. In short, there is no other font like this in the world.

Xu Mengxiao's eyes brightened, "That's the feeling. This font is like Uncle Li De's person, down-to-earth and reliable. This is also the feeling that our water tanker should give others. I let them engrave it on the water tanker, and everyone will treat us in the future." The waterwheel was even more impressive.”

Xu Mengxiao has always believed in the brand effect. Even if it is ordinary furniture or farm tools, if you carry your own brand, the more people will see it, the more people will have an impression of the brand, and they will tend to buy it next time.

On the contrary, this is also a kind of responsibility of the seller to the buyer, so that the buyer can trace it back through the brand. If the quality is not good, it will also affect the reputation of the seller.

It's a pity that when Xu Mengxiao excitedly showed this word to Uncle Li De, he couldn't carve it.

The carving was also very dull and soulless, and it was only a five-point imitation. This was done by pasting the paper on the waterwheel and tracing it stroke by stroke.

Li De blushed, "I can only make simple parts, but I'm not very good at carving them..." He couldn't even read any big characters.

"I'll do it." Lu He took the carving knife in his hand. After all, he wrote the words himself. In a few strokes, like a wandering dragon, he carved "Li Ji Shui" on the waterwheel easily and skillfully. Four words: "car".

Xu Mengxiao looked at his focused and serious profile, and her heart moved slightly. A man who works seriously is very tasteful.

"Apply another layer of tung oil and varnish to ensure it is not eroded by water flow." Lu He ordered, and then carved characters on several other completed waterwheels.

"Okay, this is so beautiful!" Li De kept stroking it excitedly, but he was afraid that it would be damaged by touching it, so he hurriedly painted it with specially mixed paint.

"After all, if you take a cent, you can just call me for the engraving part."

"Is 10% too little?" Li De looked at Xu Mengxiao and wanted to give more. He felt that they had helped him too much and he really had no reason to take so much.

Xu Mengxiao smiled, "Then give me another 10%. That's it. Don't be polite anymore."

Li De finally felt at ease. Xu Mengxiao also asked Lu He to help make a deed in triplicate. She and Lu He each had 20%, and the Li family and his son had 60%.

Li De also asked them to write down the 60% clearly, with the father and son each having 20%. "This way there will be no mistakes."

Now that the eldest son is married and the younger son is looking at the marriage, it is better to divide it fairly so that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the family will not have anything to say.

Xu Mengxiao saw that he was fair and methodical in his actions, and felt that he had made the right decision.

Otherwise, when we first found that sixth uncle, we still didn’t know how to argue with him.

She didn't know that Uncle Six was very unhappy at this moment. In this village, no one else could match him in terms of carpentry skills!

At first he didn't take it seriously, but when he heard that the waterwheel made a lot of money, even people in Lihua Village coveted it, he felt even more uncomfortable.

"What's going on in mainland China! A good business, without helping the people in the clan, is actually given to people with other surnames, and people with bad skills like Li De!"

He found Lu Lizheng unconvinced, because he was afraid that Lu Hai might use force at any time, so he specially chose a time when Lu Lizheng went out alone.

"Da You, what you are doing is so chilling. If I were not good at my craftsmanship, I would never do this job! But Uncle Liu's craftsmanship is famous in more than a dozen villages under Yunxi Town. , if the waterwheel I make will definitely sell better than the one made by Li De!"

The other party was so nice and angry that Lu Lizheng didn't feel too embarrassed and just said coolly: "Do you still remember that day Xiao Yatou went to your house to look for you?"

The sixth uncle looked ugly, thinking he was going to borrow money.

"She came to you that day to make a waterwheel. Originally, we never thought of looking for someone else, but you not only tried to beat her out with a hoe, but you also opened your mouth and said something like borrowing five taels of silver and paying back fifteen taels of silver. What a joke!"

Until now, Lu Lizheng was in disbelief. He had a good temper and was a little more tolerant towards his tribe, but he couldn't be regarded as a fool! ?

"Nonsense! She didn't mention the water tanker at all, and she even asked to borrow money. Lu Shi's wife had a child, so they were tight on money, so they reacted like that. In the end, it was good for you to publicize this matter. It’s everywhere, and the villagers are pointing fingers, so that in the end we borrowed your money and ended up being who we are!”

Uncle Lu Liu was filled with indignation and looked like he had been greatly wronged.

"Isn't it? Let's not say that some tribesmen borrow money without interest at all. Others who borrow two or five taels of money only get a normal interest of several hundred cents. I did it because you are an elder. I didn’t refuse a few ounces of interest, but not only did you think I was the one who was taken advantage of, you also bullied Xiao Yatou!”

At this point, Lu Lizheng's good manners are gone. If others bully him, is it okay to bully Xiao Yatou?

Absolutely not!

The two broke up after a bad conversation, and Uncle Six went back cursing.

"Sir, how are you? Did they give you the waterwheel business?" Lu Shi, who was still lying on the bed sadly, letting his pregnant wife take care of him, asked eagerly.

Before Uncle Six could say anything, he couldn't help but fantasize.

"I heard that that damn girl Xu Mengxiao asked for 50% of the dividend, and Lu He asked for 10%. Li De and the others worked hard and paid for the lumber to get so little. We can't You can’t spoil her like this!”

Mrs. Chen also said: "I can only give them 30% at most."

"What are you thinking! It's a woman's kindness to give them an achievement. We have to provide both manpower and wood, so we will lose everything if we give them an achievement."

"Okay!" Seeing them getting more and more enthusiastic, the sixth uncle said with a stern face, "Don't think about it, they didn't agree at all."

"What?" Lu Shi suddenly sat up from the bed, "They are just being shameless! You are such a good craftsman, and you are from the same clan, why should you give it to Li De and the others who have never been together? Let's go. Now go find Li De and snatch the water tanker business!"

Lu Shi was very aggressive. The sixth uncle thought of Lu Hai's way of beating his elders and still getting along, so he quickly stopped him and said, "You can't take it away."

"Then destroy their business! If we don't let them do it, they won't want to do it. Look, Li De is embarrassed to steal our things!"

"Stop messing around!" Uncle Six was very annoyed. It was shameful for him to be outnumbered because of borrowing money.

"How about we do it ourselves?" Ms. Chen asked tentatively, "Aren't there people in Lihua Village who are doing it? Why can't we do it? My craftsmanship is good and I can do it better than them. It will definitely be more profitable!"

"What a great idea!" Lu Shi clapped his hands excitedly, "Master, please do it quickly. From now on, our family's fortune will depend on you."
