Chapter 210
Li Yu went to find the third sister-in-law and the seventh sister-in-law to discuss this matter.
"Sister-in-law Seven, I'm here to see you."
Seventh Sister-in-Law came out of the house in plain attire, with a serene smile.
"Yu'er is here, what did you take, you have everything at home, don't worry."
"It's nothing, I brought some snacks for my brother, and Leizi couldn't finish it. I brought you Guyuan paste and astragalus and other medicinal materials. You can remember to eat soup."
Li Yu asked someone to give the things to the maid, and helped Seventh Sister-in-law into the house.
"It's been a year and you've been too busy. I made a new dessert today. Try it and see if it tastes good."
"OK."
"Stay with me for lunch at noon. We will eat together. Your brother sent river prawns over."
Seventh Sister-in-Law spoke to her with a gentle expression.
"My fourth brother is back?"
"Your fourth brother didn't return the things your sixth brother and eighth brother gave me."
Not only Li Yu's family will take care of the old, weak and widows, other relatives will also come to visit and send some things, which may not be expensive, but they just want to come and have a look, fearing that there is something wrong and not taken care of.
Orphans and widowed mothers have many difficulties and hardships. Sometimes they can’t grasp everything even if they don’t come to see them. They are also afraid that the servants will bully the widows and young children, so they come to see them regularly.
"I haven't seen them for a few days, and I don't know if it's suffering now. I said to send some medicine, but my father refused."
"It's not the same, less things are not enough, and our family can't support too much. It's not appropriate for so many people to give to whom."
Sister-in-law Seven held the sole of her shoe.
"Sister-in-law, there is something I want to discuss with you."
"Say, my sister-in-law will get it for you if you are short of money."
Seventh sister-in-law is very straightforward.
"Sister-in-law, I want you to work with the third sister-in-law and the fifth sister-in-law to do the cloth dyeing and weaving workshop, and then recruit some widows and poor girls to work together to make a face for His Highness the King of the Night. This is what the princess wants. Let us find a way to help Take a look at the poor widow and weak woman."
"Another thing is that our family's production is not enough to spend, and it costs a lot of money to buy medicine every year. This can't be stopped, and the children will be exhausted. My fourth brother and the others also have to take medicinal baths and soups when they go home regularly. It is also necessary to increase the income of the family property.”
"The men and girls in the family are all old, and they want to get married, and the dowry is a payment."
Why does Li Yu give Li Qian a few properties? The family doesn’t have that much, and the dowry is not thick enough. She doesn’t want to wrong her sisters, so she does her best to make up for it.
"You are right. When I have nothing to do, I do the calculations for the clan. It is true that the income is too much. I saw that I bought a lot of wasteland, but I had no income at all in the first few years, and I had to post money to it. How about raising chickens?" The income from growing duck vegetables is not enough for capital.”
Seventh sister-in-law nodded and sighed.
"I just thought that I have to work as a workshop. Both times are affordable. This time I can bring the Gu family to work together. If I finish it, I won't worry about selling it. The Xie family has a business store, and the Wang family also has a shop. Lin Yue's shop is also supported. It's not unusual. Clothes also need materials."
Li Yu sat there and discussed with his sister-in-law.
"I'm not afraid of weaving and dyeing cloth, but I'm afraid I won't be able to control so many people, there are also refugees, and women have a lot of things to do, so they are not as neat as men. I am afraid that I will drag you down and embarrass you if I can't handle it."
"Don't be afraid, you and my third sister-in-law will work together. I will call the Gu family and our family uncle. I can't let you go out and fight alone. I will definitely arrange for you."
"At this time, the clan can't pull out any people, and we'll use all the available ones. It's your turn not to contribute. What do the rest of the clan think? There are so many people in our family, and each person has a mouth."
Li Yu and Seventh Sister-in-Law analyze the family affairs, orphans and widows, it’s okay to take care of you, but when the future is in front of you, how can you not argue, who will care if you are a widow or not, the men have given their lives to the clan.
After a long time, everything faded away. There are many heroes who have died in the Li family, and every household has them. Your matter is really not uncommon in the Li family, and it is not the only one.
Seventh sister-in-law finally nodded after pondering, "I know you are kind-hearted and always think about us, okay, I will do it."
Li Yu squinted his eyes and smiled, holding his sister-in-law's arm and shaking, "I just said that my sister-in-law loves me the most, and I'll organize it for you. You can only weave and dye cloth, and let my third sister-in-law and fifth sister-in-law do the rest, and work together."
"I listen to you."
Seventh sister-in-law smiled calmly.
At noon, I ate the pot with my sister-in-law. The fresh vegetables in the greenhouse were brought by Li Yu, and they were very refreshing.
After dinner, I settled for the seventh sister-in-law to rest, and then came out, and then went to the third sister-in-law's house, and the fifth sister-in-law happened to be talking and chatting with her.
After Li Yu explained the matter, Fifth Sister-in-law smiled and asked, "Your Seventh Sister-in-law agreed."
"Of course, I made sense of her."
"Little monkey is a thief, your sister-in-law loves you, and she will agree sooner or later."
"Fifth sister-in-law, good sister-in-law, you should treat me as if you love me."
Sister-in-law Wu smiled, and tapped her forehead, "You think I'm too idle, okay, you just worry about it for us, and we can't shame you, third child, let's do it together."
"Okay, you settle the accounts, I will take care of chores, and the seventh child is in charge of weaving patterns."
"Let the man do the errands outside."
"Have you found the location?"
"It's on our Zhuangzi, the Zhuangzi in the city, the Zhuangzi used to do carpentry work, it was a bit small, and it was changed to the Zhuangzi outside the city, and the Zhuangzi in the city happened to be idle. I thought it would be suitable for you to go to that Zhuangzi, and you would not leave the city. , it is convenient to use a carriage back and forth.”
"Don't stay at home all the time, you are so aggrieved."
Li Yu thought about the families of the heroes first, and picked the hardest and most helpless first to help.
"Okay, then I will ask Lao Qi about the loom tomorrow."
"Tell me after you have chosen the machine, and I will go to Zhang Luonan to buy it."
"What do you buy? It's not worth the money. I'll give you the old ones and let the carpentry workshop do it. If it's not enough, you can make up for it later. There weren't that many people at first. You have to make a few pieces of cloth first to see the color and color. Come early, before that step."
"That's okay, if it doesn't work, I'll make a machine for you."
After the discussion was completed, Li Yu went back. The third sister-in-law and fifth sister-in-law began to discuss how to do this workshop, and they all agreed to the girl.
Gu Lei came back from work, looking at her with a smile on his face, "Where have you been, I'll wait for you for a long time."
"Go to my sister-in-law's house for a meal, discuss the weaving workshop, and delay a few words. You are done."
"I just finished my work. I went to see the embankment. The embankment is going to be repaired. Thanks to the yearly offering we snatched back earlier, otherwise I wouldn't be able to fill in the hole. I have been busy all day. Do you need my help in your workshop?"
"I don't need anything else. You go to Gu's house and pick some men who are good at general affairs outside. Later, we will work together. At the beginning, the stewards have to be recruited by themselves. The sisters-in-law are all working inside. I am worried about safety."
"Okay, I'll take care of the outside world."
Gu Lei immediately agreed upon hearing this.
