my grandmother

Chapter 163
The day after Yujia Cloth Village No. 14 collected the fine cloth from Hejia Village, Li Xiaonan announced that she was going to Hejia Village.

Ah Wu has gone from jumping in a hurry, to being angry at Li Xiaonan for not being in a hurry, to gloating at the jokes, and hearing Li Xiaonan say that he will go to Hejia Village tomorrow, he burst out laughing.

What are you doing now?
Li Jinzhu frowned and looked at Li Xiaonan, hesitantly said: "What are you planning? They are not very wealthy..."

"Tomorrow, I will go there with Ah Wu and Yu Ting. Elder Sister doesn't need to go there, it's nothing serious." Li Xiaonan said with downcast eyes.

Li Jinzhu frowned, and was about to speak again, when Li Yuzhu pulled her and said in a low voice, "Don't go, let Ah Nan go, it's business after all."

Li Jinzhu opened his mouth, but did not speak, only sighed.

In the early morning of the next day, Wang Yuting drove the cart, Li Xiaonan sat beside Wang Yuting, Ah Wu rode a horse, took a dozen porters, and pulled the cart to Hejia Village.

Sister-in-law Lu had been waiting for a long time, she was stunned when she saw the string of big cars behind Li Xiaonan's small car.

"Little boss." Sister-in-law Lu pointed to the long line of carts, before she could say anything, Li Xiaonan smiled and said, "It's been a month and a half, hasn't it?"

Mrs. Lu opened her mouth, but was unable to speak.

He Laowu's house is the closest to Mrs. Lu's house, and Mrs. Lu is in front. Li Xiaonan followed Mrs. Lu, and Ah Wu, with his hands behind his back, talked to Wang Yuting in a low voice, and walked to the door of He Laowu's house.

He Laowu's family was very lively. Two master masons were building walls, and two craftsmen next to him were standing up and down on a log, sawing planks, talking and laughing with He Laowu, father and son, who were doing odd jobs.

"Fifth." Mrs. Lu shouted at the gate of the courtyard.

"Let's talk to Sister-in-law Fifth." Li Xiaonan stood behind Sister-in-law Lu and said something in a low voice.

"Where is Fifth Sister-in-law?" Sister-in-law Lu hummed, and then asked.

"Where is my mother, you don't know? Why ask!" He Laowu's youngest son said angrily.

It's a neighbor and a relative. Sister-in-law Lu refuses to help his mother handle the online and offline connections, saying that kung fu is copper cash, and she's caught in the eyes of money, so she still has the face to stand at their door!

"This way." Sister-in-law Lu turned and walked to the side, and introduced to Li Xiaonan in a low voice, "Fifth sister-in-law borrowed the main room of their uncle's house for two months and fifty copper tins."

Brother He's fifth brother's house is next door, only the main room has no yard. Sister-in-law Lu went straight to the door of the main room and shouted: "Fifth sister-in-law!"

The sound of the loom in the room was fast and distinct, drowning out Mrs. Lu's cry.

Sister-in-law Lu stood at the door of the main room and shouted, "Fifth sister-in-law!"

"What's the name? I'm not free!" Fifth Sister-in-law said angrily.

"Fifth sister-in-law, the little boss is here." Sister-in-law Lu said calmly.

The sound of the loom stopped, and Fifth Sister-in-law came out, all on guard, looking from Sister-in-law Lu to Li Xiaonan.

"Your family hasn't paid the muslin for a month and a half, let me see what's going on." Li Xiaonan smiled as usual.

"I haven't finished weaving, as you can see. My family is building a new house. I'm very busy. I really don't have time. Let's wait for the young master." The fifth sister-in-law was slightly relieved, and smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Since fifth sister-in-law is not free, I will pull the loom back first, and when fifth sister-in-law is free, tell sister-in-law Lu that I will have the loom brought over.

"A loom is ten taels of silver. We are a small business, and we can't afford to idle it." Li Xiaonan laughed.

"How can we do that! This loom is pawned by us. We have a deed. How can you just take it away? This loom belongs to my family." The fifth sister-in-law became anxious when she heard it.

"When the fifth sister-in-law signed the contract, I read it to the fifth sister-in-law one by one, and explained one by one. The fifth sister-in-law couldn't receive the fine cloth for a month, or the amount of fine cloth reached within three months. If not, I can take this loom away." Li Xiaonan was still smiling, but her words were extremely blunt.

"We've already given you some cloth, how many coppers are there for this loom? We..." The word "qian" was stuck in the fifth sister-in-law's throat, and she couldn't say it.

The copper coins were all used up, and yesterday the head of the house let her sleep for another hour, catch up with the work, weave an extra bolt of fine cloth, and sell the money to buy paint.

"Account book." Li Xiaonan gestured to Wang Yuting, who hurriedly handed over the account book.

Li Xiaonan opened it and said with a smile, "Fifth sister-in-law is a hardworking person. The cost of this loom was calculated at nine taels at the time, and the fine cloth received from fifth sister-in-law was worth one tael of silver and 420 copper tins. One tael of silver is counted as 280 copper tines, leaving seven taels of silver and [-] copper tines.

"Either, the fifth sister-in-law will give me seven taels of silver and 280 copper tines now, or I will give the fifth sister-in-law one tael of silver and 420 copper tines, and I will take the loom away, and the loom will be used for nothing by the fifth sister-in-law for a few months." gone."

Outside, He Laowu and his three sons had already run over, and the carpenters, masons, and neighbors gathered in a large circle to watch the excitement.

"This loom belongs to my family! Get out!" He Laowu's youngest son, who was only 11 years old, yelled at Li Xiaonan, shaking his fists, seemingly sensible.

Li Xiaonan pretended not to hear, looked at Fifth Sister-in-law with a smile and said, "Sister-in-law, have you figured it out, should I give the money, or let me take the loom away?"

"My loom is weaving cloth!" Fifth Sister-in-Law got up in a hurry, and turned to Lu Sister-in-law, "Tell her, my loom is weaving cloth!"

Sister Lu smiled awkwardly and looked away.

"The cloth that is being woven on the loom, either you take it down, or, no matter how much you weave, I will give you the money of a whole cloth.

"Give her the money, and you go and move the loom to the car." Li Xiaonan motioned to Wang Yuting and Ah Wu.

"You can't move my loom!" The fifth sister-in-law was anxious, and blocked the door with her arms outstretched.

"Shoot them away! Hit them!" He Laowu waved his hands at the three sons, waved the wooden shovel in his hand, and rushed forward first.

Wang Yuting took a step forward, hugged fifth sister-in-law and dragged her out of the house.

A Wu first kicked away the muddy wooden shovel in He Laowu's hand, then kicked He Laowu's chest, with a little force, pushed He Laowu staggered a few steps, and sat on the ground , then stretched out his feet to hook He Laowu's youngest son back, grabbed the hair of He Laowu's two sons with both hands, pulled back a few steps, and threw them to the ground with a little force.

"Go and carry it out." Li Xiaonan signaled to the porter.

Two porters entered the house and carried out the loom.

"You can't take it away! It belongs to my family! It belongs to my family! You can't bully people like this, it's unreasonable! You bully people, it's just natural!" The fifth sister-in-law's body softened, she sat on the ground, and started to cry .

"Go and call someone! Come here! Bandit!" Sitting on the ground, He Laowu faced Ah Wu's feet, not daring to stand up, and yelled loudly.

"This is 420 taels of silver and [-] coins for a bolt of fine cloth. I put it here, and everyone will prove it." Wang Yuting held up a small silver cake and a few strings of copper tins, turned it around, and put it on the table. In front of Fifth Sister-in-law.

Li Xiaonan watched as the porter installed the loom, bypassed the crying fifth sister-in-law, and went to the second house.
