Reborn and married to a stupid scholar, she has a prosperous husband and multiple children
Chapter 26 Dafang makes money
Lin Shuangshuang handed the scissors to Mrs. Liu: "Sister-in-law, look at this petal and try cutting a few petals."
"Okay, my brother and sister are really skillful with their hands. They can cut out such beautiful petals without any embroidery."
Mrs. Liu wants to beg others, and she will do it without her life if she is obedient.
After cutting about a dozen petals, Lin Shuangshuang lit the Gu family's only oil lamp and gently roasted the edges of the petals with the fire.
When the petals are heated, they naturally curl and become curved. Ms. Liu said it was magical when she saw it.
"Brother and sister, you are so smart. You can do everything."
"The petals are so pretty, much prettier than the straight and rigid things we made."
Lin Shuangshuang smiled, then used yellow silk thread to make the stamens, and finally used silk thread to sew all the petals together.
Originally, this step could be done directly with glue, but there is no glue here and the paste is not strong enough, so we can only sew it with needle and thread.
"it is done."
Mrs. Liu was overjoyed with the newly made red plum blossoms and praised them repeatedly.
"Go back and ask your elder brother to drill a small hole in the hairpin, and then sew the silk flower on it."
"Okay, I'll go find your elder brother and ask him to drill a small hole in the hairpin."
After a while, Mrs. Liu came out with a silk flower and wooden hairpin on her head.
I just heard her say sheepishly: "It's my first time to wear a hairpin. I'm so embarrassed."
Lin Shuangshuang looked at the silk flower hairpin on her head. The color of the wooden hairpin was still a little lighter. If she applied a layer of wood wax oil, it would be more shiny under the light and would definitely sell for a good price.
But she could only think about it. It seems that there was no wood wax oil in this dynasty.
Lin Shuangshuang smiled: "Sister-in-law, there is no need to be shy. It is very common for women to wear hairpins. Sister-in-law just needs to get used to it."
Mrs. Liu laughed so hard that her branches trembled wildly. After Lian Sheng thanked her, she carried the basket into the house and prepared to make more silk flower hairpins.
After lunch, Mrs. Liu claimed that her parents' family had something to do, so she left home with more than a dozen silk flower and wooden hairpins.
When I arrived in Qingshui Town, I went into several jewelry shops and sold my own wooden hairpins...
It was already dark when Mrs. Liu got home, and the yard was dark, so she quietly returned to her room.
"Chunmei, close the door quickly."
"Gouzi, Gouzi, look at what delicious food Mom has bought for you..."
Mrs. Liu said, after making sure that Chunmei had closed the doors and windows, she secretly took out a cloth bag from her arms.
"Wow, meat bun..."
The three children screamed excitedly, so scared that Mrs. Liu immediately covered her mouth.
"What's your name? He's a dog..."
"We've attracted everyone here in a while, let's see what else you can eat."
When Gu Jinzhong saw her handing out meat buns to her children, he knew that the hairpins were sold. The man's eyes turned red with excitement. He was finally no longer a waste.
"All sold?"
"How much silver was exchanged for?"
Mrs. Liu excitedly poured all the coins in her purse onto the table, no more, no less, exactly eighty cents.
"Eight cents each, fifteen hairpins, sold for a total of one hundred and two cents."
"I bought five meat buns for ten cents, and with the remaining money I bought some needlework and rags..."
"People have said that our hairpins are very beautiful. How many people can buy them..."
"Head of the family, we can also make money..." Ms. Liu's eyes turned red with excitement.
Gu Jinzhong nodded heavily: "Well, if I carve more hairpins from now on, you can make silk flowers..."
"Ah."
"Give half of the remaining money to your parents and half to your four younger siblings."
The smile on Mrs. Liu's face disappeared immediately after hearing her husband's words. Why should she give her hard-earned money to others?
"Don't be ignorant, just give it to me."
"We haven't separated our families yet, so how can we hide money secretly?"
"In addition, my legs have been crippled over the years. I have been eating and drinking at home all day long, and have never made a penny. It is my father, mother and second son who run the family inside and outside. This money should be given to my father and mother. , let them allocate.”
"This money-making business was the idea of the fourth younger sister, and she taught you how to make silk flowers. As a human being, we must repay kindness."
Mrs. Liu was still reluctant: "The fourth brother and sister's family has a lot of money, and they don't care about these few copper coins. They only have hundreds of taels of silver, and they spend it like water."
"Whether she likes it or not, we can't say nothing."
"Now that we have little money, we can only repay small favors. When we have more money, we can repay big favors."
Mrs. Liu's eyes widened: "Forty coins are not enough to repay your kindness. How much more do you want to give?"
"She just taught me how to make a broken silk flower. It's so simple. I can do it without her teaching. What a great favor."
Gu Jinzhong looked at his wife's long hair and short-sighted appearance, and frowned angrily: "You are just short-sighted and petty."
"You are so ungrateful, who will want to get along with you in the future?"
"For people like you, even if they find a way to make a lot of money, they won't be willing to help you anymore..."
After hearing this, Mrs. Liu's attitude softened a little, and her shrewd and calculating eyes began to move up and down and left and right again.
"Okay, it's up to you!"
"I will give the money to my parents and four younger siblings early tomorrow morning."
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Mrs. Liu took out a bunch of copper coins in front of the whole family, and everyone's eyes widened in surprise.
Even Lin Shuangshuang was a little surprised. She didn't expect those hairpins to be sold.
Yang's first reaction was that it was from Liu's natal family. After all, she said yesterday afternoon that she had something to do when she returned to her natal family.
The Liu family has realized something this year. In previous years, they always asked their daughters to go back because they wanted to do it. If they didn't give them some money or things, they would directly ask for it.
Mrs. Wang also had the same reaction, even with a hint of ridicule: "Sister-in-law, your mother's family has made a fortune this year, why are they willing to give you money?"
Mrs. Wang didn't have any stage fright when she said this. After all, her mother-in-law felt sorry for her poverty, but they often helped her behind her back.
Although she did not give the money her mother-in-law secretly gave her to her mother-in-law, she still wanted to remember the kindness from her mother-in-law.
Mrs. Liu looked embarrassed, and the proud and showy look she had just shown off suddenly disappeared.
"This is the money I made from selling hairpins yesterday."
"Who will say that our eldest wife is a freeloader again? Let's see if I don't tear her mouth open."
As she spoke, she deliberately glanced at Wang, and then gave half of the copper coins to Yang, and the other half to Lin Shuangshuang in public.
She also deliberately pretended to be intimate with Lin Shuangshuang, as if Lin Shuangshuang was closer to her sister-in-law.
"As expected, my brothers and sisters are big business people. Just a casual sentence will give you a good idea to make money."
"If it weren't for my siblings' good ideas and skills, I might not be able to sell it for so much money."
"Yesterday when I went to sell hairpins, there were other people selling them in the shop, but theirs were too ugly. The shopkeeper took a fancy to mine at a glance."
Mrs. Liu looked proud when she spoke, without any concern for her husband's gloomy black face.
