The eldest son of the Chen family was spraying manure with his mouth full. With a bang, a bucket of swill fell from the sky. Who was it from Li Nian's family who splashed him?
Although the Li Nian's family was still not relieved, they didn't spoil the bucket of swill at all, and poured all of it on the Chen family's son, turning him into a drowned chicken, but the Li Nian's family was still not relieved.
She picked up the slop bucket from the ground and threw it on the eldest son of the Chen family one after another, cursing as she hit it: "Your father is not getting better, you have a mouth full of dung, and it taught you that you can't speak human language. Everyone is Dongcheng." Old man, who doesn't know that our wife doesn't go out on weekdays, and doesn't go to banquets after receiving posts, but you are pouring dirty water on the master with red lips and white teeth?"
"You dare not say that your father used the money your mother earned in the mansion to support his concubine to raise an illegitimate child. You dare not say that when your father beat your mother to let her go to the mansion to play the autumn wind, your father is using your mother's money as a sacrifice." You dare not say that his illegitimate son went to a private school, your father squeezed your mother’s money and drove him back to her mother’s house, you dare not say that your mother has nowhere to go and has to sell herself, you dare to talk nonsense ?”
"If the master didn't see your mother's pity and accepted her into the mansion, you still want to come today to take your mother's money for selling herself? Pooh, for a son like you, your mother should have drowned in the urinal when she gave birth to you. Don't look at you as a white-eyed wolf."
A group of Li Nian's family scolded, and the group picked up a slop bucket and threw it at the eldest son of the Chen family.She had her hips akimbo here, her eyes were wide open, and she had the power of throwing and throwing a dozen just now, which made those who were watching the excitement shut up.The eldest son of the Chen family was already wearing thin clothes, how could he stand being poured with cold water?
"Mother, are you just watching your son being bullied without saying a word, mother? It hurts, it hurts, mother, I hurt. Tell her to stop beating mother, you are my own mother, just watch me being bullied Kill him?" The eldest son of the Chen family turned his attention to Nanny Chen again, wanting to use family affection to protect him from disaster.
Yingchun grabbed Nanny Chen, pushed her behind her, and said to Li Nian in a deep voice, "The master humiliated the servant to death. He is slandering and ruining people's reputation here. Hurry up and send him to the government!"
Threats from a gentle person are more intimidating than those who usually bluff and lose their temper. Li Nian responded, waved to the people behind him, and stepped forward to tie up the eldest son of the Chen family.
"Mother, mother, I said it out of anger. I didn't want my mother to leave us and sell myself. I know I said something wrong. Mother, please beg this uncle quickly, don't send me to the government."
The onlookers cursed at once, just now everyone saw how he accused his mother, and swore that the master was not clean, now he has the face to beg his mother not to want to see the official, why is his face so big Woolen cloth?
Chen Momo trembled her lips, stared straight at her son, and asked him as if she didn't know him: "Do you really think I have an affair with Steward Li?"
"No mother, I don't know what kind of person mother is. Mother only has five brothers in her heart, so she can't let others go." The eldest son of the Chen family is very good at changing the wind and knows that the only one who can save him now is The mother I usually look down on.
Li Nian's family was disgusted to hear him say a word more, so they took a rag from someone and stuffed it directly into the mouth of the eldest son of the Chen family, and everyone was quiet.She has been in charge of the house's internal affairs for many years, and she speaks very easily, telling the onlookers what happened to Mother Chen concisely.
Those who thought it was groundless all shut their mouths in embarrassment, and those who thought that Nanny Chen was pitiful all scolded the eldest son of the Chen family: This kid is about sixteen or seventeen years old, A person of this age from a poor family is no longer considered a child, and he should go out to earn money to support his parents.In the end, this kid dressed decently, but he had the face to claim his own mother's money!
If such a person does not scold him, who will he scold?Just scolding didn't relieve the anger, and everyone demanded that Li Nian must send this kid to the government, not only to sue him for slandering ordinary people, but also to sue him for being unfilial.Chen Momo didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, and waited until everyone was about to send their son to the official, and then asked someone to tear off the rag that was covering his mouth, and asked him, "What's the matter with your eyes?"
Her eldest son thought that Nanny Chen had softened her heart again, so she cried and said, "It was all my father's beating. He insisted that I give him my identity money. I thought it was my mother who left it to our five brothers. I don't want to give it to you." Him, he beat me. It was because of the beating that I was so angry that I said nonsense to my mother, mother, please don't take it to your heart, don't let them send me to see an official, okay?" Tears come.
Co-authoring is to take anger from his father, and he is going to spread it on his mother.A few spectators couldn't bear it, and threw the things in their hands at the eldest son of the Chen family, beating him until he screamed.
Nanny Chen silently stuffed the rag into her son's mouth again, took a step back from his son's incredulous gaze, and watched quietly as Li Nian was surrounded by a group of onlookers, escorting her son away.
This matter did not end with the eldest son of the Chen family being locked up. Mother Chen's mother-in-law brought four grandchildren to make a fuss in the afternoon. When Li Nian said that they would also be sent to the government, she was disheartened. gone.
Nanny Chen, who got quiet, had been ill for more than ten days before she could get up. Her whole body was already thin as a pole, and the clothes on her body rattled, as if they were stolen and didn't fit.
"Ma'am, I have caused trouble for my wife these days." Madam Chen solemnly kowtowed to Zhang Cuihua: "I know that my family is not worry-free, and I'm afraid they will come to the mansion again in the future. I beg your wife to take care of you wherever you go." Sell it far away."
"If you don't want your family to find you, you have to leave Beijing and go to other places. Others are fine, are your natal family members willing to leave them?" Although Zhang Cuihua left Rongguo Mansion by herself, it was because she had nothing to worry about. But Nanny Chen is different, she still has her natal family who have a good relationship with her.
Mother Chen kowtowed again: "Even if you are reluctant, you can't cause trouble for the master anymore." The reputation of a woman's family is so important. If my eldest son dares to pour dirty water on his wife, others may not dare.It's fine if the wife doesn't go out, and there are girls, the wife has a bad reputation, but how can the girls get married?
That is also a child who grew up on her own milk. She treats her better than her own son. How can she implicate that child.
Zhang Cuihua looked at Chen Nanny very highly. At the beginning, she didn't like Chen Nanny's temperament very much - her ears were too soft, and she was too easy to be manipulated by others - but after this incident, Zhang Cuihua I think Nanny Chen is a person with a bottom line, and a person who knows how to repay her kindness.
Although it is said that one should show kindness without expecting repayment, but whoever helps others does not want others to take it for granted.
But Chen Momo stayed in the mansion, not only she was uneasy, but Li Nian and Li Nian's family were also uncomfortable.In the past few days, Li Nian didn't even dare to enter the inner courtyard. He always asked his wife to convey the matter, not to mention the answer clearly, some things can't be known to Li Nian's daughter-in-law.
"Don't worry, wait until I discuss it with the girl." Zhang Cuihua said so, and let Chen Nanny go back to her room to raise her.
It was not only Yingchun who discussed together, but also Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Xia and Xia Jingui.They heard that Nanny Chen wanted Zhang Cuihua to sell her, and they wanted to do something about Nanny Chen's matter.
"Mother," Yingchun said to Zhang Cuihua, "after Madam Chen's incident happened, Jingui and I asked people to go to Nancheng and Beicheng to inquire. There are quite a few people like her."
"Mother Chen can come back again, and she can stay with her natal family for a few days before she comes back. However, there are many women who have been kicked out of their husband's house, and their natal family refuses to take them in. In the end, they have to beg for a living, or. Or, So mother, don't care about what those people say, let's have a clear conscience, at worst, we'll just call out once someone from the Chen family comes." It was rare for Yingchun to say such domineering words, so it can be seen that she was very angry.
"Are there many people like this?" Zhang Cuihua said to herself.She knew that women in this world had a difficult life, but it was so difficult that people couldn't help but regret it.
I still have to stay here for decades, and I have nothing to do anyway, so why not help these people, it can be regarded as finding something to do, and I can use this to exercise to welcome the spring.
It is the first time Zhang Cuihua wants to help people, people who have nothing to do with her mission, and she is not alone.Later, Zhang Cuihua said that people should not be too idle, otherwise they will do things that they don't understand.She would not admit it to life or death. When she heard the tragic experience of those women, what she thought of was herself in the last days without awakening the power.
At that time, how she wished for someone to lend a helping hand to herself, so that her life would not be so humble and difficult.Now that I have some ability, be the one who lends a helping hand.
Zhang Cuihua is not a person who regrets easily, nor is she a person who acts without a plan, that is, if she decides to help those women, the first thing to do is to have enough places for those women to settle down.
At this time, the Zhuangzi in his hand came in handy. Zhang Cuihua’s Zhuangzi was more than 20 miles away from Beijing. After years of continuous purchase of surrounding land, it has a size of [-] mu, which is enough to accommodate the homeless people in the southern city and the northern city. Returnable woman.
The next thing to do is to ask Li Nian to build a house in Zhuangzi. The house is mainly practical, and it doesn't need to be too big or gorgeous.After the house is built, the next thing is to call the women who were kicked out by their husbands to the village.
This is not an easy task to accomplish.For some women, their husband's family and their children are their biggest concerns. Even if they are kicked out of the house, they still hold on to the hope that the family will accept them again, so they always take a look from a distance from time to time, waiting for the time to come. The illusory hope comes, so I don't want to leave.
More women don't believe that there is such a good thing in the world: how can someone be willing to live in a house and eat for free?They themselves humblely beg on the street every day, and kowtow to everyone who passes by them. It is rare for someone to throw a copper plate or half a pancake out of kindness. Now that someone wants to give them food for free, they refuse to believe it. of.
Not only the women didn't believe it, but some idlers who heard about it also didn't believe it, and even sued Li Nian and others who were persuading people to go to Zhuangzi, to the government, saying that they didn't want to help these women, but wanted to traffic people. Let these women do pickling for a living.
What, these women are old and fading?How many bachelors in the ravine are waiting to marry a wife, as long as the price is cheap, they are willing to buy it a few years older.
Shuntian Mansion received a report, so they naturally went to Zhang Cuihua's mansion and asked Li Nian to go to the yamen to explain clearly.It wasn't until Mr. Fu Yin's master followed Li Nian to the Zhuangzi to see the built house, the prepared bedding and food, and the tall courtyard walls, that he believed that Zhang Cuihua was serious about helping those women.
The women who were kicked out of their homes were stunned when they heard that Shuntian Mansion said that Li Nian and the others had no malicious intentions and that they really wanted to help them, and then most of them stopped coddling and scrambled to go to Zhuangzi, fearing that there would not be enough space in Zhuangzi. It's too late to stay by myself.
Later, there was no need for publicity. Those women who were kicked out of their husband's house knew that Jixian Village, which was about [-] miles away from the city, took in poor people like them.This is not to mention later.
As more and more women came to Zhuangzi, Zhang Cuihua started her second plan, which was to find out what the strengths of these women were, so that they could support themselves——Sheng Mi En Dou Mi Qiu, she is I want to help these women, but I don't want to raise a bunch of ancestors for myself.
After the disbelief in the first few days, and getting used to the comfort in Zhuangzi, the women's individual natures began to emerge.When asked what they would do and what outstanding skills they had, some did not tell the truth. They were afraid that if they spoke out, the master of Zhuangzi would ask them to work more.
Everyone was kept in Zhuangzi the same way, why should they have to serve others when others are waiting to eat ready-made ones?Don't say anything, no matter how you ask, you don't say anything, anyway, the little girl who asked the question looked very kind and easy to talk, and everyone didn't know each other, so no one knew that they were hiding it, right?
And those who honestly say that they are good at embroidering, making clothes, cooking well, and even weaving baskets and baskets, are they not arranged to cook for everyone, make clothes or weave baskets? ?For those who have been assigned jobs, they feel stupid, thinking that it is no wonder that they will be kicked out by their husband's family.
The only thing they forgot is that they were also kicked out by their husband's family. They ate food made by people they thought were stupid and wore clothes made by those stupid people.
But after five days, the days of clever people will come to an end.They were called together, each handed out a hoe, and asked to hoe the ground.
Say you can't do it?Well, someone will teach you.Say you are not in good health?There is a doctor here to take the pulse.Say you can't do it?I'm sorry, everyone has to use their hands for food. You have been feeding for five days. If you don't work, you will have no food.
It’s almost the twelfth lunar month, and the ground is frozen solid. Let alone a woman, even a strong man can only knock out a white spot with a hoe. A few women who are playing tricks can’t get rid of it all morning. Not a single ridge was hoed out.
They got together, refused to eat, and asked to see Li Nian.But Li Nian lived in the city, so he didn't want to see him right away. They had nothing to eat for lunch.
The ones who came to Zhuangzi with Li Nian were Yingchun and Xia Jingui, the two girls who those clever women thought were nice and easy to talk to.Seeing these two girls coming, Li Nian seemed to respect them everywhere, and these women immediately surrounded the two girls and complained to them, saying that Li Nian had a relationship with Chen Nai, who was in charge of Zhuangzi. Mammy bullied them and made them work hard in winter.
Yingchun listened quietly to the complaints of these women, and even grabbed Xia Jingui who was very angry.It wasn't until these women talked about it several times, and couldn't find any new topics, that Yingchun asked softly: "So, you are not satisfied with living in Zhuangzi and don't want to live anymore, right?"
The scene was strange because of a sentence, it was quiet, who wouldn't want a place to eat, drink and live in this winter?But why do they have to hoe the ground when everyone else stays in the house and works?
After chattering for a while, Yingchun asked again: "You think it's good for you to eat for nothing every day, right? But why?"
Yes, why?The women looked at each other, and the most courageous one knew that if the two girls who couldn't tell today were soft-hearted, they would probably have to hoe the ground all winter, and maybe they would keep on hoeing.Now she didn't want to just wait for others to prepare the food for her, but just wanted to stay in the house and work.
Rolling her eyes, the woman shouted loudly: "You begged us to come, saying that you wanted to help us, but who knew you came because you wanted us to do coolies."
This family spends money to let people live in, give food, drink and shelter, isn't it just to get a good reputation?Then let them know that if you want a good reputation, don't make yourself work, otherwise you will go out and ruin their reputation!
Yingchun smiled softly at the yelling woman: "Really, I really don't know. When you were at your husband's house, you were served by someone who didn't have to work. Disrespect and disrespect. Come, send her back to your husband's house." , don’t roughen your hands here.”
With a coaxing sound, even the people who worked with that woman laughed, everyone knew who they were, and what kind of life they lived in their husband's house, after complaining to each other for a few days.
There are still people who serve her. When she serves others, everyone thinks that she is not serving well, so they drive her out, okay?
The woman couldn't get off the stage at once, she just sat on the ground and patted her thighs and cried: "It was agreed that we would have a place to live, food and clothing, but in the end, we were tricked into coming here and made to work as coolies. These homeless people are easy to bully, I'm going to sue you with the official."
Xia Jingui leaned close to Yingchun's ear and asked, "That's what Aunt Sun said, you cry, make trouble, hang yourself, right?"
Crying woman: You have already revealed my back trick, how can I use it?
She stopped crying here, Yingchun only looked at the other women in front of her one by one, her voice was still neither high nor low: "My mother deliberately set aside a Zhuangzi to settle everyone, because it is really thinking that it is not easy for everyone to beg in winter, if there is no Cover yourself with a house, afraid that some people will freeze and starve to death after a few snowfalls.”
Those who heard it had to nod along, let alone snow, with the clothes they used to wear with big holes and small eyes, even a north wind could freeze people to death.
Seeing that they listened to her own words, Yingchun went on to say: "But my mother knows that everyone is a strong person and a person with self-respect. She is afraid that everyone will feel uncomfortable eating rice, so she thinks of ways to know everyone What are the strengths, so that we can arrange some jobs within our ability for everyone."
"With work taking hands, firstly, everyone can support themselves and don't need to be grateful to anyone. Second, everyone can sell some money and keep it for themselves. Isn't this the best of both worlds? The reason why you are asked to hoe the ground is because you all said that you don't want to I don’t know how to do things like this, so I have to come up with such a method, because I’m afraid that you will be embarrassed to eat for free and hurt your self-esteem.”
The woman lying on the ground unable to cry: God is so self-respecting, I just want to eat for nothing, okay?
It is impossible to eat for free, and the other women have already bowed their heads in shame, feeling that they have failed their good intentions.They surrounded Yingchun again, not to make a fuss about quitting work, but to ask if they could re-register and see if their strengths could be used.
Yingchun accepted this with a smile, and asked Nanny Chen, who is now in charge of the women in the village, to register them. Those who should go to the kitchen should go to the kitchen, and those who should go to embroider should go to embroider...
"Hey, are you still getting up?" Xia Jingui looked at the woman who was still sitting on the ground with disdain: "Is it because the cotton coat we gave you is too thick, so it won't be cool to sit on the ground?"
The woman wanted to get up a long time ago, but Xia Jingui kept staring at her, so she was too embarrassed to get up.Now that Xia Jingui asked such a question again, she suddenly became angry: "What do you mean by the padded clothes you gave me? This girl just said that I got them through my own work."
"Li Nian." Xia Jingui ignored the flailing woman and called Li Nian directly: "How many coppers do men outside get for a day's work?"
Li Nian smiled: "Girl Hui, the coolies in the north city get ten copper coins a day, and the ones in the south city have two less, eight copper coins a day."
"Yeah." Xia Jingui pointed to the woman sitting on the ground: "Give her ten copper coins, and return her the clothes when she came. We keep our clothes."
The woman hugged her shoulders subconsciously. Not to mention the thick cotton padded clothes, even though the face was made of coarse cloth, it was still new. Not to mention ten copper coins, even if you add ten more, you can't buy such a good new cotton padded jacket.
"It's said that Sheng Mien fights Mi Qiu, and I thought I wouldn't be so unlucky to meet. Who knew that a white-eyed wolf would be raised in just a few days after talking about each other." Xia Jingui's voice suddenly became louder. People working in the house can also hear clearly.
Everyone shivered involuntarily, and looked at the newly joined women: just now they also made trouble with that woman, and now they have annoyed the girls, if this makes the big guy unable to live here, They don't need the people brought by the girls to do it, they will tear up these few delicious and lazy things by themselves.
The woman outside was still babbling, but Xia Jingui didn't listen: "We've already found out before we came, the reason why you were kicked out by your husband's family is because you don't respect your 70-year-old mother-in-law, and don't care about your seven- or eight-year-old son. Walking around every day, gossiping, and messing up the good marriage of your eldest son. Your husband couldn't bear it, and drove you out of the house so that the children could marry a wife."
That woman didn't expect Xia Jingui to say what she wanted to hide, and she didn't know how to respond.
Yingchun pulled Xia Jingui: "People say that poor people must have something to hate, and what they say is true. You can go to the government to sue us, and we will wait." Saying this, he gave Li Nian a wink, and said to himself He has already dragged Xia Jingui to see the achievements of the women who have taken in these days.
No matter how much the woman cried and pleaded, Li Nian led people to drive her out of Zhuangzi.But they are big men, so it's not easy to take off the woman's cotton padded clothes, which can be regarded as taking advantage of her.
Everyone else heard the woman's pleading voice, but no one pleaded for her: just as Yingchun said, poor people must have something to hate, not all women who are driven out by their husband's family are hateful from their husband's family, There are also some women who are born to be housewives.
It would be a disaster for such a person to appear in anyone's house, and it would be a hidden danger if they stayed in Zhuangzi. It would be better to drive them away from the beginning.
Now everyone wants the two girls to see that they are not living for nothing in Zhuangzi, they are doing their best to help Zhuangzi, and they are using their hands for food.
Yingchun's saying is correct, most of the women who come here don't want to eat and drink for nothing.Their thinking is very simple, that is, if so many people eat and drink for free, what if the owner of the Zhuangzi is poor by them and has no money to maintain the Zhuangzi? Can't eat hot meals?
Therefore, regardless of the fact that you have only been here for a few days, whether it is embroidery or basket weaving, you have already accumulated a lot of things. Everyone is looking at Yingchun and Xia Jingui anxiously, for fear that they will say that they are not good enough to change. What I eat every day.
"I think these embroideries can be sold in shops." Yingchun was also very happy to see everyone's achievements, and felt that what her mother said was right. Most women are still grateful and are working hard. I want to support myself with my own hands.
As long as most people agree, the thoughts of my mother and myself will not be in vain. There is no need to feel that what you do is meaningless and ruin your own heart because of one or two bad things.
Xia Jingui was admired by the embroidery skills of the Hua family, and looked down on these embroidery works, and asked with some hesitation: "If you put such things in the shop, what if someone thinks that the embroiderers in our shop have regressed in their skills? "Jiyuefang's embroidery has always been at the forefront in Beijing. If it is put together with such things, it will not reduce the taste and reputation of Jiyuefang.
Yingchun looked at everyone's expectant eyes, and had to smile reassuringly: "Don't worry, everyone, there is always a way." Saying that, she pulled Xia Jingui away.
Xia Jingui reluctantly followed Yingchun into the carriage back to the city, still muttering: "Originally, even the poor women in the mansion wouldn't use that thing, what are you stopping me for?"
"The women in our house have never experienced such hardship." Yingchun didn't know what to think, and it took a long time to reply without thinking, leaving Xia Jingui speechless.
After returning home, I wanted to tell Zhang Cuihua about the matter - in Yingchun's heart, her mother was almost omnipotent, and the methods she came up with were often unexpected. I didn't know if my idea was feasible or not, so I subconsciously thought of it. Seek Zhang Cuihua's opinion.
Seeing the two little girls worrying, Zhang Cuihua felt a little funny, she only looked at her daughter, she felt that Yingchun must have an idea in her heart, but she was too embarrassed to speak up.Yingchun, who was even more embarrassed by her, finally expressed her plan, which was to open another shop to sell the women's embroidery in the village.
"It doesn't need to be opened in the east city, either the south city or the north city. It doesn't cost much to buy a shop like this, just choose a few people from the village to guard and sell things." Yingchun had already made plans on the way back to the city, and said The words that come out are very organized.
Zhang Cuihua asked: "What if the husband's family of those people finds out that they can earn money now, and they are looking for trouble like the members of Nanny Chen's family?"
"It depends on what these women want." Yingchun was also a little helpless, knowing that this situation would inevitably happen: "We can't stop them from going back to their husband's house if they want to, but we have to make an agreement, and they will be kicked out when they go back." Come out, we can no longer take them in."
"But we won't take them in anymore, and they won't have any place to make money, so they will definitely be kicked out by their husband's family." Xia Jingui said with certainty.
"It's easy to handle. Even if they go back to their husband's house, we can still collect the embroidered products and the things they make and sell them on their behalf. In this way, they will have income. For the sake of money, the husband's family I won't make things difficult for them anymore." Yingchun has her own concerns.
"It's almost the end of the year now, and Jiyuefang's account has been settled, how much money do you need?" Zhang Cuihua saw that Yingchun was very thoughtful, so she naturally wanted to support it.
Yingchun shook her head at Zhang Cuihua: "It doesn't cost much to buy a shop in Nancheng or Beicheng, and I still have some savings."
After hearing this, Xia Jingui hurriedly said, "Since you said it, I have some left over from my monthly prescription. Let's buy it together."
Mrs. Xia was relieved when she heard this. Her daughter knew that she was originally a big spender, and spent less than half a month every month.I don't know how to let Yingchun know about this, and I told my daughter about the difficulty of supporting the family, so the daughter's spending money is no longer so careless.
Listen, now you can save the monthly bill to buy a shop.Although I don't know how much money the shop will cost, it's the first property that my daughter owns.
Mrs. Xia did not hug her daughter, but put Yingchun in her arms: "Good boy, thanks to your persuading your sister, your aunt will hand over your sister to you in the future. See if there is anything she can't do. Follow her."
Why does this sound so awkward?Zhang Cuihua took a look at Mrs. Xia, and saw Yingchun's wholehearted dependence in people's eyes, so she had to keep building for herself. Grown up girls support each other.
With silver, buying a shop is not a big deal.Especially in places like Nancheng and Beicheng, many small shops changed hands by the end of the year because they could not continue to operate, so Li Nian took a fancy to a shop in each of the two places for Yingchun in two days.
Yingchun and Xia Jingui went to see it together, and thought that both places were good, and the price was really cheap in their opinion, so they bought them all and asked Li Nian to find someone to clean them up.One of the two shops happened to sell embroidery, and the other sold basket baskets, so as not to be inconvenient to sell them in one place.
Nanny Chen picked six articulate and well-looking women from Zhuangzi, and sent them to Jiyuefang to learn how to treat guests for a few days, and the embroidery shop and basket blue shop were about to open.
Xia Jingui attached great importance to his first property and thought of several names, but in the end he didn't know which one to choose.Yingchun had to play a decisive role again, and the embroidery shop was named Mingyue Embroidery Shop, and the basket blue shop was named Qiaogefang.
There are three women guarding each shop, and the prices are fixed, and it is good to sell according to the price, which is not tiring.When no one comes to the shop to buy things, women can continue to embroider and weave things without wasting time.
I thought that there are many poor people in the North and South City, and the business of Qiaogefang with good practicality should be better than that of Mingyue Embroidery, but after three days of calculation, I found out that the money earned by Mingyue Embroidery was more than three times that of Qiaogefang.
Speaking of which, the capital of Mingyue Embroidery Shop is higher than that of Qiaogefang, Yingchun and Xia Jingui are both prepared to make no loss or profit for this shop.I don't want to come with the coming of the new year, even the daughters of poor families want to dress themselves up, which makes the shop earn money.
This was completely beyond the expectations of Yingchun and the others. The women weaving baskets in Zhuangzi couldn't sit still anymore, wondering if they also learned to embroider themselves-everything sold in the shop would be divided into pieces. Give money to the maker, and seeing that you get less money than others, you naturally want to do the one who gets more.
Looking at the distressed daughter, Zhang Cuihua had to remind her: "Just think about it, do you also use small baskets and small blues when you pack things on weekdays?"
Xia Jingui was still a little dazed, but Yingchun's eyes lit up: "That's right, the bigger the basket, the better it doesn't necessarily matter. Make it smaller and put some delicate flowers and flowers on it. It's also eye-catching. I bought it." There will be more people."
"Where are there any flowers to decorate now?" Xia Jingui felt that Yingchun was whimsical.
Yingchun smiled at her: "Did you forget the name of our shop?"
Xia Jingui felt that he could finally gain the upper hand: "It's called Qiaogefang, what else can it be called?"
Yingchun still looked at her and smiled: "It's precisely this clever word that we should start with."
Xia Jingui heard Yingchun say the word "qiao", and suddenly remembered that Zhang Cuihua brought them to make silk flowers with cloth to coax her and Yingchun when she was a child, and slapped herself on the forehead: "Why didn't I think of that."
Yingchun smiled and pulled her hand that was still resting on her forehead: "I told you, we can't do this kind of action again when we are one year old and two years old." What to do if people see it as rude.
Xia Jingui chuckled, and had the nerve to stick out her little tongue at Zhang Cuihua: "Aunt Sun, don't talk to my mother, okay?"
Zhang Cuihua nodded Xia Jingui's smooth forehead helplessly: "It's fine at home, but it really can't be like this outside." Xia Jingui nodded repeatedly, as for whether to change or not, only God knows.
In the next few days, Yingchun and Yingchun got busy, they called Chen Mama back from the Zhuangzi, and told her the idea of making the baskets smaller and matching them with silk flowers.
After hearing this, Mother Chen waved her hands: "Well, my girls, the silk, silk, and silk are all bought at a huge price, how can they be so ruined."
Although the Li Nian's family was still not relieved, they didn't spoil the bucket of swill at all, and poured all of it on the Chen family's son, turning him into a drowned chicken, but the Li Nian's family was still not relieved.
She picked up the slop bucket from the ground and threw it on the eldest son of the Chen family one after another, cursing as she hit it: "Your father is not getting better, you have a mouth full of dung, and it taught you that you can't speak human language. Everyone is Dongcheng." Old man, who doesn't know that our wife doesn't go out on weekdays, and doesn't go to banquets after receiving posts, but you are pouring dirty water on the master with red lips and white teeth?"
"You dare not say that your father used the money your mother earned in the mansion to support his concubine to raise an illegitimate child. You dare not say that when your father beat your mother to let her go to the mansion to play the autumn wind, your father is using your mother's money as a sacrifice." You dare not say that his illegitimate son went to a private school, your father squeezed your mother’s money and drove him back to her mother’s house, you dare not say that your mother has nowhere to go and has to sell herself, you dare to talk nonsense ?”
"If the master didn't see your mother's pity and accepted her into the mansion, you still want to come today to take your mother's money for selling herself? Pooh, for a son like you, your mother should have drowned in the urinal when she gave birth to you. Don't look at you as a white-eyed wolf."
A group of Li Nian's family scolded, and the group picked up a slop bucket and threw it at the eldest son of the Chen family.She had her hips akimbo here, her eyes were wide open, and she had the power of throwing and throwing a dozen just now, which made those who were watching the excitement shut up.The eldest son of the Chen family was already wearing thin clothes, how could he stand being poured with cold water?
"Mother, are you just watching your son being bullied without saying a word, mother? It hurts, it hurts, mother, I hurt. Tell her to stop beating mother, you are my own mother, just watch me being bullied Kill him?" The eldest son of the Chen family turned his attention to Nanny Chen again, wanting to use family affection to protect him from disaster.
Yingchun grabbed Nanny Chen, pushed her behind her, and said to Li Nian in a deep voice, "The master humiliated the servant to death. He is slandering and ruining people's reputation here. Hurry up and send him to the government!"
Threats from a gentle person are more intimidating than those who usually bluff and lose their temper. Li Nian responded, waved to the people behind him, and stepped forward to tie up the eldest son of the Chen family.
"Mother, mother, I said it out of anger. I didn't want my mother to leave us and sell myself. I know I said something wrong. Mother, please beg this uncle quickly, don't send me to the government."
The onlookers cursed at once, just now everyone saw how he accused his mother, and swore that the master was not clean, now he has the face to beg his mother not to want to see the official, why is his face so big Woolen cloth?
Chen Momo trembled her lips, stared straight at her son, and asked him as if she didn't know him: "Do you really think I have an affair with Steward Li?"
"No mother, I don't know what kind of person mother is. Mother only has five brothers in her heart, so she can't let others go." The eldest son of the Chen family is very good at changing the wind and knows that the only one who can save him now is The mother I usually look down on.
Li Nian's family was disgusted to hear him say a word more, so they took a rag from someone and stuffed it directly into the mouth of the eldest son of the Chen family, and everyone was quiet.She has been in charge of the house's internal affairs for many years, and she speaks very easily, telling the onlookers what happened to Mother Chen concisely.
Those who thought it was groundless all shut their mouths in embarrassment, and those who thought that Nanny Chen was pitiful all scolded the eldest son of the Chen family: This kid is about sixteen or seventeen years old, A person of this age from a poor family is no longer considered a child, and he should go out to earn money to support his parents.In the end, this kid dressed decently, but he had the face to claim his own mother's money!
If such a person does not scold him, who will he scold?Just scolding didn't relieve the anger, and everyone demanded that Li Nian must send this kid to the government, not only to sue him for slandering ordinary people, but also to sue him for being unfilial.Chen Momo didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, and waited until everyone was about to send their son to the official, and then asked someone to tear off the rag that was covering his mouth, and asked him, "What's the matter with your eyes?"
Her eldest son thought that Nanny Chen had softened her heart again, so she cried and said, "It was all my father's beating. He insisted that I give him my identity money. I thought it was my mother who left it to our five brothers. I don't want to give it to you." Him, he beat me. It was because of the beating that I was so angry that I said nonsense to my mother, mother, please don't take it to your heart, don't let them send me to see an official, okay?" Tears come.
Co-authoring is to take anger from his father, and he is going to spread it on his mother.A few spectators couldn't bear it, and threw the things in their hands at the eldest son of the Chen family, beating him until he screamed.
Nanny Chen silently stuffed the rag into her son's mouth again, took a step back from his son's incredulous gaze, and watched quietly as Li Nian was surrounded by a group of onlookers, escorting her son away.
This matter did not end with the eldest son of the Chen family being locked up. Mother Chen's mother-in-law brought four grandchildren to make a fuss in the afternoon. When Li Nian said that they would also be sent to the government, she was disheartened. gone.
Nanny Chen, who got quiet, had been ill for more than ten days before she could get up. Her whole body was already thin as a pole, and the clothes on her body rattled, as if they were stolen and didn't fit.
"Ma'am, I have caused trouble for my wife these days." Madam Chen solemnly kowtowed to Zhang Cuihua: "I know that my family is not worry-free, and I'm afraid they will come to the mansion again in the future. I beg your wife to take care of you wherever you go." Sell it far away."
"If you don't want your family to find you, you have to leave Beijing and go to other places. Others are fine, are your natal family members willing to leave them?" Although Zhang Cuihua left Rongguo Mansion by herself, it was because she had nothing to worry about. But Nanny Chen is different, she still has her natal family who have a good relationship with her.
Mother Chen kowtowed again: "Even if you are reluctant, you can't cause trouble for the master anymore." The reputation of a woman's family is so important. If my eldest son dares to pour dirty water on his wife, others may not dare.It's fine if the wife doesn't go out, and there are girls, the wife has a bad reputation, but how can the girls get married?
That is also a child who grew up on her own milk. She treats her better than her own son. How can she implicate that child.
Zhang Cuihua looked at Chen Nanny very highly. At the beginning, she didn't like Chen Nanny's temperament very much - her ears were too soft, and she was too easy to be manipulated by others - but after this incident, Zhang Cuihua I think Nanny Chen is a person with a bottom line, and a person who knows how to repay her kindness.
Although it is said that one should show kindness without expecting repayment, but whoever helps others does not want others to take it for granted.
But Chen Momo stayed in the mansion, not only she was uneasy, but Li Nian and Li Nian's family were also uncomfortable.In the past few days, Li Nian didn't even dare to enter the inner courtyard. He always asked his wife to convey the matter, not to mention the answer clearly, some things can't be known to Li Nian's daughter-in-law.
"Don't worry, wait until I discuss it with the girl." Zhang Cuihua said so, and let Chen Nanny go back to her room to raise her.
It was not only Yingchun who discussed together, but also Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Xia and Xia Jingui.They heard that Nanny Chen wanted Zhang Cuihua to sell her, and they wanted to do something about Nanny Chen's matter.
"Mother," Yingchun said to Zhang Cuihua, "after Madam Chen's incident happened, Jingui and I asked people to go to Nancheng and Beicheng to inquire. There are quite a few people like her."
"Mother Chen can come back again, and she can stay with her natal family for a few days before she comes back. However, there are many women who have been kicked out of their husband's house, and their natal family refuses to take them in. In the end, they have to beg for a living, or. Or, So mother, don't care about what those people say, let's have a clear conscience, at worst, we'll just call out once someone from the Chen family comes." It was rare for Yingchun to say such domineering words, so it can be seen that she was very angry.
"Are there many people like this?" Zhang Cuihua said to herself.She knew that women in this world had a difficult life, but it was so difficult that people couldn't help but regret it.
I still have to stay here for decades, and I have nothing to do anyway, so why not help these people, it can be regarded as finding something to do, and I can use this to exercise to welcome the spring.
It is the first time Zhang Cuihua wants to help people, people who have nothing to do with her mission, and she is not alone.Later, Zhang Cuihua said that people should not be too idle, otherwise they will do things that they don't understand.She would not admit it to life or death. When she heard the tragic experience of those women, what she thought of was herself in the last days without awakening the power.
At that time, how she wished for someone to lend a helping hand to herself, so that her life would not be so humble and difficult.Now that I have some ability, be the one who lends a helping hand.
Zhang Cuihua is not a person who regrets easily, nor is she a person who acts without a plan, that is, if she decides to help those women, the first thing to do is to have enough places for those women to settle down.
At this time, the Zhuangzi in his hand came in handy. Zhang Cuihua’s Zhuangzi was more than 20 miles away from Beijing. After years of continuous purchase of surrounding land, it has a size of [-] mu, which is enough to accommodate the homeless people in the southern city and the northern city. Returnable woman.
The next thing to do is to ask Li Nian to build a house in Zhuangzi. The house is mainly practical, and it doesn't need to be too big or gorgeous.After the house is built, the next thing is to call the women who were kicked out by their husbands to the village.
This is not an easy task to accomplish.For some women, their husband's family and their children are their biggest concerns. Even if they are kicked out of the house, they still hold on to the hope that the family will accept them again, so they always take a look from a distance from time to time, waiting for the time to come. The illusory hope comes, so I don't want to leave.
More women don't believe that there is such a good thing in the world: how can someone be willing to live in a house and eat for free?They themselves humblely beg on the street every day, and kowtow to everyone who passes by them. It is rare for someone to throw a copper plate or half a pancake out of kindness. Now that someone wants to give them food for free, they refuse to believe it. of.
Not only the women didn't believe it, but some idlers who heard about it also didn't believe it, and even sued Li Nian and others who were persuading people to go to Zhuangzi, to the government, saying that they didn't want to help these women, but wanted to traffic people. Let these women do pickling for a living.
What, these women are old and fading?How many bachelors in the ravine are waiting to marry a wife, as long as the price is cheap, they are willing to buy it a few years older.
Shuntian Mansion received a report, so they naturally went to Zhang Cuihua's mansion and asked Li Nian to go to the yamen to explain clearly.It wasn't until Mr. Fu Yin's master followed Li Nian to the Zhuangzi to see the built house, the prepared bedding and food, and the tall courtyard walls, that he believed that Zhang Cuihua was serious about helping those women.
The women who were kicked out of their homes were stunned when they heard that Shuntian Mansion said that Li Nian and the others had no malicious intentions and that they really wanted to help them, and then most of them stopped coddling and scrambled to go to Zhuangzi, fearing that there would not be enough space in Zhuangzi. It's too late to stay by myself.
Later, there was no need for publicity. Those women who were kicked out of their husband's house knew that Jixian Village, which was about [-] miles away from the city, took in poor people like them.This is not to mention later.
As more and more women came to Zhuangzi, Zhang Cuihua started her second plan, which was to find out what the strengths of these women were, so that they could support themselves——Sheng Mi En Dou Mi Qiu, she is I want to help these women, but I don't want to raise a bunch of ancestors for myself.
After the disbelief in the first few days, and getting used to the comfort in Zhuangzi, the women's individual natures began to emerge.When asked what they would do and what outstanding skills they had, some did not tell the truth. They were afraid that if they spoke out, the master of Zhuangzi would ask them to work more.
Everyone was kept in Zhuangzi the same way, why should they have to serve others when others are waiting to eat ready-made ones?Don't say anything, no matter how you ask, you don't say anything, anyway, the little girl who asked the question looked very kind and easy to talk, and everyone didn't know each other, so no one knew that they were hiding it, right?
And those who honestly say that they are good at embroidering, making clothes, cooking well, and even weaving baskets and baskets, are they not arranged to cook for everyone, make clothes or weave baskets? ?For those who have been assigned jobs, they feel stupid, thinking that it is no wonder that they will be kicked out by their husband's family.
The only thing they forgot is that they were also kicked out by their husband's family. They ate food made by people they thought were stupid and wore clothes made by those stupid people.
But after five days, the days of clever people will come to an end.They were called together, each handed out a hoe, and asked to hoe the ground.
Say you can't do it?Well, someone will teach you.Say you are not in good health?There is a doctor here to take the pulse.Say you can't do it?I'm sorry, everyone has to use their hands for food. You have been feeding for five days. If you don't work, you will have no food.
It’s almost the twelfth lunar month, and the ground is frozen solid. Let alone a woman, even a strong man can only knock out a white spot with a hoe. A few women who are playing tricks can’t get rid of it all morning. Not a single ridge was hoed out.
They got together, refused to eat, and asked to see Li Nian.But Li Nian lived in the city, so he didn't want to see him right away. They had nothing to eat for lunch.
The ones who came to Zhuangzi with Li Nian were Yingchun and Xia Jingui, the two girls who those clever women thought were nice and easy to talk to.Seeing these two girls coming, Li Nian seemed to respect them everywhere, and these women immediately surrounded the two girls and complained to them, saying that Li Nian had a relationship with Chen Nai, who was in charge of Zhuangzi. Mammy bullied them and made them work hard in winter.
Yingchun listened quietly to the complaints of these women, and even grabbed Xia Jingui who was very angry.It wasn't until these women talked about it several times, and couldn't find any new topics, that Yingchun asked softly: "So, you are not satisfied with living in Zhuangzi and don't want to live anymore, right?"
The scene was strange because of a sentence, it was quiet, who wouldn't want a place to eat, drink and live in this winter?But why do they have to hoe the ground when everyone else stays in the house and works?
After chattering for a while, Yingchun asked again: "You think it's good for you to eat for nothing every day, right? But why?"
Yes, why?The women looked at each other, and the most courageous one knew that if the two girls who couldn't tell today were soft-hearted, they would probably have to hoe the ground all winter, and maybe they would keep on hoeing.Now she didn't want to just wait for others to prepare the food for her, but just wanted to stay in the house and work.
Rolling her eyes, the woman shouted loudly: "You begged us to come, saying that you wanted to help us, but who knew you came because you wanted us to do coolies."
This family spends money to let people live in, give food, drink and shelter, isn't it just to get a good reputation?Then let them know that if you want a good reputation, don't make yourself work, otherwise you will go out and ruin their reputation!
Yingchun smiled softly at the yelling woman: "Really, I really don't know. When you were at your husband's house, you were served by someone who didn't have to work. Disrespect and disrespect. Come, send her back to your husband's house." , don’t roughen your hands here.”
With a coaxing sound, even the people who worked with that woman laughed, everyone knew who they were, and what kind of life they lived in their husband's house, after complaining to each other for a few days.
There are still people who serve her. When she serves others, everyone thinks that she is not serving well, so they drive her out, okay?
The woman couldn't get off the stage at once, she just sat on the ground and patted her thighs and cried: "It was agreed that we would have a place to live, food and clothing, but in the end, we were tricked into coming here and made to work as coolies. These homeless people are easy to bully, I'm going to sue you with the official."
Xia Jingui leaned close to Yingchun's ear and asked, "That's what Aunt Sun said, you cry, make trouble, hang yourself, right?"
Crying woman: You have already revealed my back trick, how can I use it?
She stopped crying here, Yingchun only looked at the other women in front of her one by one, her voice was still neither high nor low: "My mother deliberately set aside a Zhuangzi to settle everyone, because it is really thinking that it is not easy for everyone to beg in winter, if there is no Cover yourself with a house, afraid that some people will freeze and starve to death after a few snowfalls.”
Those who heard it had to nod along, let alone snow, with the clothes they used to wear with big holes and small eyes, even a north wind could freeze people to death.
Seeing that they listened to her own words, Yingchun went on to say: "But my mother knows that everyone is a strong person and a person with self-respect. She is afraid that everyone will feel uncomfortable eating rice, so she thinks of ways to know everyone What are the strengths, so that we can arrange some jobs within our ability for everyone."
"With work taking hands, firstly, everyone can support themselves and don't need to be grateful to anyone. Second, everyone can sell some money and keep it for themselves. Isn't this the best of both worlds? The reason why you are asked to hoe the ground is because you all said that you don't want to I don’t know how to do things like this, so I have to come up with such a method, because I’m afraid that you will be embarrassed to eat for free and hurt your self-esteem.”
The woman lying on the ground unable to cry: God is so self-respecting, I just want to eat for nothing, okay?
It is impossible to eat for free, and the other women have already bowed their heads in shame, feeling that they have failed their good intentions.They surrounded Yingchun again, not to make a fuss about quitting work, but to ask if they could re-register and see if their strengths could be used.
Yingchun accepted this with a smile, and asked Nanny Chen, who is now in charge of the women in the village, to register them. Those who should go to the kitchen should go to the kitchen, and those who should go to embroider should go to embroider...
"Hey, are you still getting up?" Xia Jingui looked at the woman who was still sitting on the ground with disdain: "Is it because the cotton coat we gave you is too thick, so it won't be cool to sit on the ground?"
The woman wanted to get up a long time ago, but Xia Jingui kept staring at her, so she was too embarrassed to get up.Now that Xia Jingui asked such a question again, she suddenly became angry: "What do you mean by the padded clothes you gave me? This girl just said that I got them through my own work."
"Li Nian." Xia Jingui ignored the flailing woman and called Li Nian directly: "How many coppers do men outside get for a day's work?"
Li Nian smiled: "Girl Hui, the coolies in the north city get ten copper coins a day, and the ones in the south city have two less, eight copper coins a day."
"Yeah." Xia Jingui pointed to the woman sitting on the ground: "Give her ten copper coins, and return her the clothes when she came. We keep our clothes."
The woman hugged her shoulders subconsciously. Not to mention the thick cotton padded clothes, even though the face was made of coarse cloth, it was still new. Not to mention ten copper coins, even if you add ten more, you can't buy such a good new cotton padded jacket.
"It's said that Sheng Mien fights Mi Qiu, and I thought I wouldn't be so unlucky to meet. Who knew that a white-eyed wolf would be raised in just a few days after talking about each other." Xia Jingui's voice suddenly became louder. People working in the house can also hear clearly.
Everyone shivered involuntarily, and looked at the newly joined women: just now they also made trouble with that woman, and now they have annoyed the girls, if this makes the big guy unable to live here, They don't need the people brought by the girls to do it, they will tear up these few delicious and lazy things by themselves.
The woman outside was still babbling, but Xia Jingui didn't listen: "We've already found out before we came, the reason why you were kicked out by your husband's family is because you don't respect your 70-year-old mother-in-law, and don't care about your seven- or eight-year-old son. Walking around every day, gossiping, and messing up the good marriage of your eldest son. Your husband couldn't bear it, and drove you out of the house so that the children could marry a wife."
That woman didn't expect Xia Jingui to say what she wanted to hide, and she didn't know how to respond.
Yingchun pulled Xia Jingui: "People say that poor people must have something to hate, and what they say is true. You can go to the government to sue us, and we will wait." Saying this, he gave Li Nian a wink, and said to himself He has already dragged Xia Jingui to see the achievements of the women who have taken in these days.
No matter how much the woman cried and pleaded, Li Nian led people to drive her out of Zhuangzi.But they are big men, so it's not easy to take off the woman's cotton padded clothes, which can be regarded as taking advantage of her.
Everyone else heard the woman's pleading voice, but no one pleaded for her: just as Yingchun said, poor people must have something to hate, not all women who are driven out by their husband's family are hateful from their husband's family, There are also some women who are born to be housewives.
It would be a disaster for such a person to appear in anyone's house, and it would be a hidden danger if they stayed in Zhuangzi. It would be better to drive them away from the beginning.
Now everyone wants the two girls to see that they are not living for nothing in Zhuangzi, they are doing their best to help Zhuangzi, and they are using their hands for food.
Yingchun's saying is correct, most of the women who come here don't want to eat and drink for nothing.Their thinking is very simple, that is, if so many people eat and drink for free, what if the owner of the Zhuangzi is poor by them and has no money to maintain the Zhuangzi? Can't eat hot meals?
Therefore, regardless of the fact that you have only been here for a few days, whether it is embroidery or basket weaving, you have already accumulated a lot of things. Everyone is looking at Yingchun and Xia Jingui anxiously, for fear that they will say that they are not good enough to change. What I eat every day.
"I think these embroideries can be sold in shops." Yingchun was also very happy to see everyone's achievements, and felt that what her mother said was right. Most women are still grateful and are working hard. I want to support myself with my own hands.
As long as most people agree, the thoughts of my mother and myself will not be in vain. There is no need to feel that what you do is meaningless and ruin your own heart because of one or two bad things.
Xia Jingui was admired by the embroidery skills of the Hua family, and looked down on these embroidery works, and asked with some hesitation: "If you put such things in the shop, what if someone thinks that the embroiderers in our shop have regressed in their skills? "Jiyuefang's embroidery has always been at the forefront in Beijing. If it is put together with such things, it will not reduce the taste and reputation of Jiyuefang.
Yingchun looked at everyone's expectant eyes, and had to smile reassuringly: "Don't worry, everyone, there is always a way." Saying that, she pulled Xia Jingui away.
Xia Jingui reluctantly followed Yingchun into the carriage back to the city, still muttering: "Originally, even the poor women in the mansion wouldn't use that thing, what are you stopping me for?"
"The women in our house have never experienced such hardship." Yingchun didn't know what to think, and it took a long time to reply without thinking, leaving Xia Jingui speechless.
After returning home, I wanted to tell Zhang Cuihua about the matter - in Yingchun's heart, her mother was almost omnipotent, and the methods she came up with were often unexpected. I didn't know if my idea was feasible or not, so I subconsciously thought of it. Seek Zhang Cuihua's opinion.
Seeing the two little girls worrying, Zhang Cuihua felt a little funny, she only looked at her daughter, she felt that Yingchun must have an idea in her heart, but she was too embarrassed to speak up.Yingchun, who was even more embarrassed by her, finally expressed her plan, which was to open another shop to sell the women's embroidery in the village.
"It doesn't need to be opened in the east city, either the south city or the north city. It doesn't cost much to buy a shop like this, just choose a few people from the village to guard and sell things." Yingchun had already made plans on the way back to the city, and said The words that come out are very organized.
Zhang Cuihua asked: "What if the husband's family of those people finds out that they can earn money now, and they are looking for trouble like the members of Nanny Chen's family?"
"It depends on what these women want." Yingchun was also a little helpless, knowing that this situation would inevitably happen: "We can't stop them from going back to their husband's house if they want to, but we have to make an agreement, and they will be kicked out when they go back." Come out, we can no longer take them in."
"But we won't take them in anymore, and they won't have any place to make money, so they will definitely be kicked out by their husband's family." Xia Jingui said with certainty.
"It's easy to handle. Even if they go back to their husband's house, we can still collect the embroidered products and the things they make and sell them on their behalf. In this way, they will have income. For the sake of money, the husband's family I won't make things difficult for them anymore." Yingchun has her own concerns.
"It's almost the end of the year now, and Jiyuefang's account has been settled, how much money do you need?" Zhang Cuihua saw that Yingchun was very thoughtful, so she naturally wanted to support it.
Yingchun shook her head at Zhang Cuihua: "It doesn't cost much to buy a shop in Nancheng or Beicheng, and I still have some savings."
After hearing this, Xia Jingui hurriedly said, "Since you said it, I have some left over from my monthly prescription. Let's buy it together."
Mrs. Xia was relieved when she heard this. Her daughter knew that she was originally a big spender, and spent less than half a month every month.I don't know how to let Yingchun know about this, and I told my daughter about the difficulty of supporting the family, so the daughter's spending money is no longer so careless.
Listen, now you can save the monthly bill to buy a shop.Although I don't know how much money the shop will cost, it's the first property that my daughter owns.
Mrs. Xia did not hug her daughter, but put Yingchun in her arms: "Good boy, thanks to your persuading your sister, your aunt will hand over your sister to you in the future. See if there is anything she can't do. Follow her."
Why does this sound so awkward?Zhang Cuihua took a look at Mrs. Xia, and saw Yingchun's wholehearted dependence in people's eyes, so she had to keep building for herself. Grown up girls support each other.
With silver, buying a shop is not a big deal.Especially in places like Nancheng and Beicheng, many small shops changed hands by the end of the year because they could not continue to operate, so Li Nian took a fancy to a shop in each of the two places for Yingchun in two days.
Yingchun and Xia Jingui went to see it together, and thought that both places were good, and the price was really cheap in their opinion, so they bought them all and asked Li Nian to find someone to clean them up.One of the two shops happened to sell embroidery, and the other sold basket baskets, so as not to be inconvenient to sell them in one place.
Nanny Chen picked six articulate and well-looking women from Zhuangzi, and sent them to Jiyuefang to learn how to treat guests for a few days, and the embroidery shop and basket blue shop were about to open.
Xia Jingui attached great importance to his first property and thought of several names, but in the end he didn't know which one to choose.Yingchun had to play a decisive role again, and the embroidery shop was named Mingyue Embroidery Shop, and the basket blue shop was named Qiaogefang.
There are three women guarding each shop, and the prices are fixed, and it is good to sell according to the price, which is not tiring.When no one comes to the shop to buy things, women can continue to embroider and weave things without wasting time.
I thought that there are many poor people in the North and South City, and the business of Qiaogefang with good practicality should be better than that of Mingyue Embroidery, but after three days of calculation, I found out that the money earned by Mingyue Embroidery was more than three times that of Qiaogefang.
Speaking of which, the capital of Mingyue Embroidery Shop is higher than that of Qiaogefang, Yingchun and Xia Jingui are both prepared to make no loss or profit for this shop.I don't want to come with the coming of the new year, even the daughters of poor families want to dress themselves up, which makes the shop earn money.
This was completely beyond the expectations of Yingchun and the others. The women weaving baskets in Zhuangzi couldn't sit still anymore, wondering if they also learned to embroider themselves-everything sold in the shop would be divided into pieces. Give money to the maker, and seeing that you get less money than others, you naturally want to do the one who gets more.
Looking at the distressed daughter, Zhang Cuihua had to remind her: "Just think about it, do you also use small baskets and small blues when you pack things on weekdays?"
Xia Jingui was still a little dazed, but Yingchun's eyes lit up: "That's right, the bigger the basket, the better it doesn't necessarily matter. Make it smaller and put some delicate flowers and flowers on it. It's also eye-catching. I bought it." There will be more people."
"Where are there any flowers to decorate now?" Xia Jingui felt that Yingchun was whimsical.
Yingchun smiled at her: "Did you forget the name of our shop?"
Xia Jingui felt that he could finally gain the upper hand: "It's called Qiaogefang, what else can it be called?"
Yingchun still looked at her and smiled: "It's precisely this clever word that we should start with."
Xia Jingui heard Yingchun say the word "qiao", and suddenly remembered that Zhang Cuihua brought them to make silk flowers with cloth to coax her and Yingchun when she was a child, and slapped herself on the forehead: "Why didn't I think of that."
Yingchun smiled and pulled her hand that was still resting on her forehead: "I told you, we can't do this kind of action again when we are one year old and two years old." What to do if people see it as rude.
Xia Jingui chuckled, and had the nerve to stick out her little tongue at Zhang Cuihua: "Aunt Sun, don't talk to my mother, okay?"
Zhang Cuihua nodded Xia Jingui's smooth forehead helplessly: "It's fine at home, but it really can't be like this outside." Xia Jingui nodded repeatedly, as for whether to change or not, only God knows.
In the next few days, Yingchun and Yingchun got busy, they called Chen Mama back from the Zhuangzi, and told her the idea of making the baskets smaller and matching them with silk flowers.
After hearing this, Mother Chen waved her hands: "Well, my girls, the silk, silk, and silk are all bought at a huge price, how can they be so ruined."
