Chapter 12 New Clothes
Lin Yushu and Lin Laoshi were busy all night and didn't feel tired. The baskets were filled with silver, which was worth it even if they worked hard.
I have earned more money in the past few days than I did in the past year, and they are very motivated now.
When Lin Yushu and Lin Laoshi left, Lin Yuzhu pulled Li He'er into the house, then took two hundred cents from the piggy bank and put them in Li He'er's hand and said, "My sister-in-law has worked hard today to go to the county town and help buy some cotton and fabrics. I'll buy it for two hundred cents. I'm thinking about making some cotton coats for the four children. The weather is getting colder and colder, so we adults can still rush through the fire, but the children can't do it."
Last night, An An and Pingping were waiting for them to make candied haws, and they kept running. On such a cold day, both of them only wore a thin cotton coat. The cotton coat was modified from the old clothes she wore when she was not married. The cotton was very thin and it was not warm at all.
Li He'er pushed the money back and said, "Anyon will be over after he is peaceful. Last year, I'll live like this. Just let them stay in front of the fire. But the two little ones have to wear thicker. There are still a few kilograms of cotton and a piece of cloth in my house. I'll go back to the house to make two clothes and bring them over later."
Although the family made money, she felt that it would be better to be more affordable, and she might have some money to use. Moreover, as an aunt, she had not given anything to her two children, so it was appropriate for one child to make a set of clothes.
Lin Yuzhu was unhappy and hanged the copper coins strung into strings on Li He'er's arm, and said sincerely: "This is my intention. If you want to make clothes for your two children, just do it. I will never refuse. I don't know how to look at the cold wind outside and be afraid of going out. Otherwise, I will buy it in the county town. You also know that it is not convenient for me to go out during the confinement period. Sister-in-law, can you help me?
The original owner was extremely good at doing needlework. In her previous life, she didn’t even know how to do needlework. Now her hands are very itchy, so it’s a very happy thing to make clothes for her two children with her own hands.
Zhang Bihua led Pingping and An An into the house and continued, "He'er, take the money to the county town for a trip. The whole family is not so polite. If you feel that you can't get along, just make a plan for each of your two children. It can be considered an aunt's wish. Our family will not be so polite in the future."
Li He'er, who was scolded, put the money into her sleeves and said with a smile: "Mom, just work hard, I'll go to sleep for an hour and go to the county town."
It is definitely not OK for the whole family to sleep. Lin Yuzhu was not tired last night. Her family didn't allow her to do a little tired work. She arranged An An and Pingping to sit down by the fire and said, "Mom, go and sleep for a while, and wait until you wake up and come to take over my four children. I just happen to teach An An and Pingping to write now."
Zhang Bihua was also tired, so she told An An and Pingping to go back to the house.
Lin Yuzhu sat next to Pingping, handed a wooden stick to each of the two children and smiled gently: "Auntie has taught you to write your own name before. How have you been practicing these two days? Now my aunt is going to check it out."
An An and Pingping like Lin Yuzhu very much, and there is no gap between Lin Yuzhu, so they show off happily in front of Lin Yuzhu.
After teaching two more words again, Lin Yuzhu held her face and placed her elbows on her legs, and looked at the two children who were sleeping soundly on the bed through the fire. It was time to name the two children, but I was worried about what name to choose.
Lin Yushu and Lin Laoshi didn't feel sorry for the money this time. When they arrived at the county town according to Lin Yuzhu's arrangement, they found a carriage to go to the city at the gate. After the money was negotiated, they went to the city.
It takes more than three months to walk from the county town to the capital city, and it takes about two hours to take a carriage. After the two arrived at the capital city, it was already two o'clock. Lin Yushu and Lin Laoshi had both been to Fucheng before and found a place to sell cowhide bags. According to Lin Yuzhu's wishes, they bought 100 of them at one go, which cost 50 cents.
The two of them have also experienced selling candied haws in the county town these days. They put their backs on their chests and hugged the pole full of candied haws while walking. Soon a business came to their door.
Qingxi Village.
After Lin Yuzhu was driven away, Li Xiuhua occupied Lin Yuzhu's yard, leaving all the things that could be used, and throwing them all into the yard and burning them. He cleaned them inside and out. Qin Lushan, who has always disliked doing housework, rarely brought mud and repaired all the leaking walls.
Li Xiuhua had a happy look on her face and said in a very good mood: "Lushan will be moved here in a few days."
She had long wanted to move out of the old house. Although the house there was better, she felt uncomfortable living with Han Guixiang. This was the reason why she planned Lin Yuzhu's house because she wanted to split up.
Qin Lushan frowned and looked at Li Xiuhua, warning: "I don't understand your little thoughts yet. I'm a little more powerful, but I'm very good to me."
Li Xiuhua curled her lips and was dissatisfied: "You are just a elm-wood head. Think about whether we have worked hard for so many years. Do you have some money on hand? The money is all with my mother. If we want to buy something, it depends on my mother's mood. Now we just move out and don't separate the family. Let's live comfortably. You are so old that you are still scolded by your father every day. Is it comfortable to be cared for by your mother every day? Is it that I want to save more money for your two children to ask for a wife? Isn't you a father at all?"
Her good relationship with Han Guixiang is just a superficial one. She just wants Han Guixiang to like her more than to exclude Lin Yuzhu, but she doesn't want the Qin family to fall into Lin Yuzhu and Qin Hanyang.
Qin Lushan was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Don't mention this matter again. If the money is brought out, I can't get it back. I have given more than twenty taels of silver to my parents over the years. I can't keep all of these silver in my mother's hands."
He had his own plan. From the beginning of Qin Hanyang's entry into this family, he felt a sense of crisis. Qin Hanyang was really good at being a human being and had a good relationship with everyone in the village. He was the outsider of this family who should have been bachelor for the rest of his life. In the end, his parents had to ask Qin Hanyang for his wife to share the property. Fortunately, Qin Hanyang died, and now everything is in his hands again.
Li Xiuhua was worried: "You know Zhu Guihua from Linjia Village. Yesterday, a message said that Lin Yuzhu was doing a small business. The Lin family made a lot of money by selling candied haws. Why is that bitch so lucky?"
Before Qin Hanyang died, she was jealous of Lin Yuzhu. Qin Hanyang loved Lin Yuzhu very much and protected her at any time. In order not to let Lin Yuzhu suffer grievance, she would rather move out of her home. She only had two acres of thin land and was willing to do so. No woman would expect to marry a husband who was aware of the cold, warm and considerate.
She also deliberately asked Zhu Guihua to spread rumors in Linjia Village. She thought Lin Yuzhu would be in dire straits when she returned to her parents' home, but she never thought that Lin Yuzhu would actually start doing business!
