After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

The sun had already set when Yan Qingqing and the others returned home. Yuan Huiniang had just sent away the workers and was cleaning the yard.

Li Xiangping also just came back from the fields. Li Xiangping prefers working in the fields to doing business, so when the farming season is busy, Li Xiangan and Li Xiangjian go to the city to deliver goods.

People have their own strengths, and if conditions permit, they can do what they like. Yan Qingqing supports this.

When Xiao Jinxiu saw Yan Qingqing coming back, she rushed forward and hugged her thighs, calling her grandma.

Yan Qingqing smiled and took out a piece of candy from her arms and stuffed it into her mouth and then handed her the toy he bought from the city. The little guy got the benefit and happily showed off to his friends.

Yuan Huiniang said helplessly: "Mom, don't always spoil this girl. Everyone in our village now says that Jinxiu girl is too spoiled."

Yan Qingqing said nonchalantly: "Don't listen to their nonsense. Who can feel sorry for your own children if you don't feel sorry for them? As long as our Jinxiu behaves well and is pampered."

Yan Qingqing feels that a little girl's food should be fragrant and soft, and not dirty all day long like a pitiful little girl.

Yuan Huiniang knew that men and women had always been equal in Yan Qingqing's heart, and she was extremely lucky to have such a good mother-in-law.

Li Xiangping helped Li Xiangjian unload the bullock cart, then looked at the two baskets of things on the cart and asked, "Mom, what are these? How to deal with them?"

Yan Qingqing quickly replied: "This is a good thing. You can put it in my house. If it is planted well, the people will no longer have to go hungry."

Li Xiangping also took it seriously upon hearing this, and quickly and carefully moved the things into Yan Qingqing's house.

Yan Qingqing felt a headache as she saw more and more things in her room. The space at home was too small, and adding a few things would make it look very messy.

She originally planned to build a new house after autumn, but it seemed that she couldn't wait until then. She would start preparing for it after the work in the field was finished.

After dinner, Yan Qingqing was counting the money she had in hand. She currently had about 200 taels.

Although he is not a drop in the bucket compared to rich people, he is definitely considered the richest man in Canghe Village.

The three Li Xiangping brothers were discussing the use of brine for the county magistrate's harvest banquet. Because the weather was relatively hot, they had to ensure that they used the freshest ingredients.

In addition, there are not many fragrant leaves at home, and they plan to go to the mountains tomorrow to pick all the fragrant leaves from the laurel trees.

It’s not like there are no people in the world who imitate their own pigs. Some people even use white flour to remove the fishy smell, but the taste of what they make is much worse.

Firstly, it was because the proportion of ingredients was not well controlled, and secondly, because bay leaves were not added, the stewed pig waste did not smell so good.

Yuan Huiniang on the side saw that Yan Qingqing was almost busy, so she hesitated for a while and said, "Mom, what do you think of Mrs. Liu?"

Yan Qingqing didn't get up for a while. Who was Liu and asked: "Liu, which Liu?"

Yuan Huiniang quickly replied: "It's Widow Liu who works as a female celebrity for our family."

Yan Qingqing frowned and asked, "But what happened to her?"

Yan Qingqing and Mr. Liu had nothing against each other. The only time they were unhappy was when Mr. Liu made some sarcastic remarks to her at the edge of the field. At that time, Yan Qingqing fought back.

Later, their family hired someone to make bows. Liu was famous for her skill, so Yuan Huiniang used her, and Yan Qingqing didn't say anything.

During this period of time, Mr. Liu was considered to be honest, so Yan Qingqing didn't take that matter to heart anymore.

Seeing Yan Qingqing ask, Yuan Huiniang replied truthfully: "I didn't do anything extraordinary, I just always poked my head in when no one was around. My mother was not at home today, and Yueniang saw her entering my mother's room."

Yan Qingqing's face suddenly darkened after hearing this. It seemed that Mrs. Liu's coming to work in their house had either a purpose from the beginning or he had other intentions later.

Seeing that Yan Qingqing was unhappy, Yuan Huiniang quickly said: "Mom, don't worry, she was discovered by Yueniang as soon as she entered. Then she was kicked out by Yueniang.

I originally planned to question her, but she said she had lost a silver hairpin and entered her mother's house in a hurry. "

Yan Qingqing would definitely not let tigers cause trouble. She asked Yuan Huiniang to pay her this month's salary tomorrow so that she would not have to come again in the future.

But something happened before Yuan Huiniang could deal with the matter.

Shopkeeper Wu from Jinsheng Pavilion came early the next morning.

Yan Qingqing and the others hadn't even had time to have breakfast yet, and their hearts skipped a beat when they saw shopkeeper Wu coming in a hurry.

Fortunately, Yan Qingqing was stable. After greeting Shopkeeper Wu for a few words, he asked directly: "Shopkeeper Wu came to visit early in the morning, but what is the important matter?"

Shopkeeper Wu said with a bitter look on his face: "Sister-in-law, we agreed at the beginning that your fabric headwear would only be provided to us at Jinsheng Pavilion.

I am also considerate of you, so I postponed the contract for half a year. During this half year, you only need to provide us with butterfly knots. I also admit that the price we paid for the bow knots is not too high, but you cannot make it for us. Sell ​​new models to others.

Sister-in-law, you know that these gadgets are just a novelty, and you can only make some money if you get the upper hand. "

The more Yan Qingqing listened, the darker his expression became. According to what Shopkeeper Wu said, someone must have leaked the new headwear they made.

Yuan Huiniang on the side explained anxiously: "Shopkeeper Wu, how could we sell the things we made for you to others? Are you making a mistake?"

Shopkeeper Wu also hoped that it wasn't Yan Qingqing and the others who did it, because he was the one who facilitated this business after all. If Yan Qingqing was really that kind of person, he really wouldn't be able to explain it to the young master's family.

Shopkeeper Wu was still confused and said: "How could there be a mistake? I looked specifically and even the fabrics are the same."

After saying that, he took out a thousand-layer bow from his sleeve. It was indeed the same as the new model Yan Qingqing and the others are making now.

Yan Qingqing took the bow from shopkeeper Wu and looked at it carefully, then shook her head and said, "This is not made by us. Although the style is the same, the fabric is different from what we made for Jinsheng Pavilion."

After saying that, she asked Yuan Huiniang to take out several finished products and show them to shopkeeper Wu: "You see, the color of this imitation is darker, while our color is lighter. And I have a habit of doing business, I like to make things on items. A mark is easy to distinguish.

Every bow I make has a mark here, so even the people who make the bows for our family don’t know. "

After careful comparison by shopkeeper Wu, it turned out to be exactly what Yan Qingqing said.

Shopkeeper Wu also apologized to Yan Qingqing for his momentary recklessness.

Yan Qingqing thought for a while and then said: "I will naturally check it out here. If someone really leaks it deliberately, I will never tolerate it, but Shopkeeper Wu should also check it carefully to make sure there is no insider.

After all, this bow tie is a small matter, but the release of new products in the future will be a big deal. "

Shopkeeper Wu seemed to have thought of something after hearing this. He nodded cautiously and said that he would definitely investigate clearly when he went back.
