my grandmother

Chapter 176 The second step

Li Xiaonan's attitude was far beyond the expectations of Li Shikuan and his son.

After leaving Cailian Lane, Li Wenliang looked back, lowered his voice subconsciously, and said to Li Shikuan: "Father, what Anan said, you must be acting out of anger, right?"

"You child!" Li Shikuan paused and gave Li Wenliang a glare.

"I just think..." Li Wenliang laughed hurriedly, and reached out to help Li Shikuan.

"Ah Nai is not simple, no wonder such a distinguished son-in-law befriends her, alas!" Li Shikuan sighed, "This nobleman is a nobleman! It's all about family knowledge. Take a look, the son-in-law recognized us at a glance. Ah Nan is not easy, let's see you now! Why are you so angry!"

"I didn't mean that, I just didn't expect it, I mean, this is a big business that has never happened before, but if you want to do this big business in the long run and make money, you have to know what the imperial court is Meaning, this is also what my father said, this business can only rely on Ah Nan, but Ah Nan actually said that she doesn't want it, I really didn't expect it." Li Wenliang hurriedly explained with a smile.

"I didn't think of it either. Think about it now." Li Shikuan pondered for a while, then sighed, "It is true that more people come in to do this business, so that the cost of the loom can be shared, and the cost of the loom can be distributed as soon as possible. Only when there are enough looms can there be enough fine cloth to start a big business.”

"Well, then we said earlier that we wanted to give A Nan a share? Since A Nan said that we should do it ourselves, then?" Li Wenliang asked tentatively.

"Oh, you, it's been a problem of picking and searching since you were a child! Remember, in the future, you must always remember to remind yourself that if you want to pick, you can only pick with yourself, and you must not pick from others!" Li Shikuan He glanced at his son.

"Yes." Li Wenliang blushed.

"This stock is not about whether Ah Nan wants it, but we must find ways to deliver it to her and let her want it! As we discussed before, [-]% will be given to her." Li Shikuan said in a low voice.

"Okay!" Li Wenliang nodded quickly.

"We have to hurry back now. Tell your wife that if Jinzhu goes to see the house, let her be the master. It's not a big deal. Sigh, how much money each house in the clan pays, how many shares each family shares, Which one can be used is the most troublesome matter, and it will take several days to discuss." Li Shikuan frowned.

Li Wenliang frowned with a wry smile.

When this kind of matter is discussed, there is always a big fight, or even a big fight. At least it takes three to five days to discuss a result.

After seeing off Li Shikuan and Li Wenliang, Li Xiaonan happily walked around a few times, told her eldest sister about her plan, went to the tea house, called A Wu and Wang Yuting, and drove straight to Hejia Village outside Guoxiang.

Li Yuzhu packed up, put on a scarf, and was about to rush to the workshop when Li Jinzhu stopped her.

"There is something we need to discuss."

Li Yuzhu hurriedly put down the basket and beckoned for Sister Mei to come over.

"The sister-in-law in the lobby said that there is a house on the east side of the school that is being sold out by someone. She said that the owner is a foreigner doing business in Linhai Town. Now that she is old, she wants to go back to her hometown. I don't know if I can come back again. I sold all the properties and took the money with me, and the wife in the lobby said that the house is very good and the price is very suitable."

"Buy the house now?" Li Yuzhu asked in surprise.

Sister Mei also widened her eyes.

"Tang Weng said that our family is not the same as before, and it is not suitable to live here again." Li Jinzhu's eyelids drooped slightly, and his voice was very low.

Li Yuzhu was stunned, she was busy from morning to night every day, and she was devoted to the preserved egg shop's business, neither paying attention nor thinking about it.

Sister Mei pursed her lips and kept nodding.

"I've been thinking about it for two or three nights."

Li Jinzhu sighed lowly.

"This alley is so narrow that even large carts can't get in. Our cart and mule have been kept in the opposite teahouse. This house has only one front door, and the entrance and exit are under the eyes of the neighbors. The yard is also narrow. , you have to whisper in the yard, Ah Nan."

Li Jinzhu paused for a moment before continuing: "The Tang Weng said that Ah Nan's comings and goings are all under the noses of the neighbors in the neighborhood. Often, we can't afford to stare at something from our end.

"And your marriage, you have to avoid that Miao matchmaker, you are not young."

"I never thought about getting married." Li Yuzhu frowned slightly.

"I've been thinking about it. It's okay if we can't find a suitable family, but we have to try our best to find one. If there is a suitable family, it's better to marry someone, have a husband and children, and have a family and a house."

Li Yuzhu lowered her eyes and gave a low hum.

"Eldest Sister is right! There are still many good people in this world. Look at our third sister, how wonderful!" Sister Mei stretched her head and smiled, looked at Li Jinzhu and said:
"Let me tell you, when I go shopping for vegetables, every time I come across a few people asking about things, there are a lot of people who ask how her daughter is, and ask if we can let our aunt take care of her." Going to Bieye, like Ah Nan, going to Bieye to get an errand, it's really annoying!" Sister Mei interjected.

"I haven't heard you say that." Li Jinzhu said in surprise.

"What's there to say! Her daughters are gods, and our nan can't take them to another industry! Anyway, no matter what they ask or say, I just listen with my eyes open. If I don't say a word, I just pretend Stupid!" Mei Mei patted her apron angrily.

"The Hong family's house is also in that area. Is that house secluded? How much money do you get?" Li Yuzhu asked.

"Let's go and have a look. Sister Mei will go too." Li Jinzhu said.

"I'll go too? All right, all right! I'll go change into clothes!" Sister Mei beamed happily.

"No need to change, that's it. The three of us don't go out together. Yuzhu will go first and wait at the east end of the street." Li Jinzhu laughed.

"Then I'll take the vegetable basket, and just drop by to buy some vegetables." Sister Mei rushed into the kitchen, carrying the vegetable basket, as if she was usually shopping, and finally went out, locked the courtyard door, and went to the east end of the street.

....................................

Ah Wu rode the horse, Wang Yuting drove the cart, and soon arrived at Hejia Village.

A group of children at the head of the village stared at the group of people with different expressions. Some of them made curse gestures at the mule cart and spat one after another.

Li Xiaonan looked at the group of children, smiled and waved.

Sister-in-law Lu greeted her out of the hospital, and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, I'm leaving one night later, I have to go to the town, two of them are going online, and the machine of one is stuck, that lady's hands are too heavy, This has been stuck for the third time, and it's only half a month."

Sister-in-law Lu let the three of them into the yard while talking.

"Since you are going to the town, let's go now and talk in the car." Li Xiaonan didn't get out of the car at all, and waved to Sister Lu.

"Okay!" Sister-in-law Lu responded with a smile, went into the house, picked up the basket, locked the door, and got into Li Xiaonan's car.

At the entrance of the village, Li Xiaonan looked at the children who spat at them again, and asked with a smile, "How is the new house in the town? When can we move?"

The families whose looms were forcibly taken away by her were all large and powerful families in this Hejia Village, and each family had several sons. Because of the looms being taken away, they hugged together and couldn't find Li Xiaonan. So he turned his anger on Mrs. Lu.

Sister-in-law Lu simply paid some money, and exchanged the family's ten acres of land near Guoxiang, and built a new house in Guoxiang.

"The wing room is ready, and it's being tidied up. We'll move at the end of the month, and we'll live in the wing room first." Sister-in-law Lu also saw the children who were spitting and scolding, her expression darkened.

"Are those families bullying you again?" Ah Wu asked with a stare.

Sister-in-law Lu hurriedly waved her hands and smiled: "No, no, you come here every now and then, how dare they bully you again.

"Moving there early is for convenience. You see, today's work is all in the town. If I live in the town and the machine is stuck, it only takes an hour to go back and forth, and it will take a whole day without delay."

A Wu breathed a sigh of relief, and urged the horse to go to the front.

"It will be convenient for you to move to the town. I came to you to discuss with you. I want to teach people weaving like opening a school. The first school will be in Guoxiang. Let's buy three or four looms first. A person who knows how to weave and teach, you boss, don’t teach yourself. If it’s done, we’ll open a few more one by one.” Li Xiaonan laughed.

"Do you accept copper tin? Baijiao?" Sister-in-law Lu's eyes widened.

"I don't teach for nothing, and I don't take copper coins. I sign a contract and get the fine cloth they wove after they learn it." Li Xiaonan laughed.

"Miscellaneous weaving is not something that everyone can learn." Sister Lu frowned, "You have to pick someone first before accepting them. Also, if you are clever, you can learn very quickly. It only takes a day or two." , there are stupid ones, you have to study for half a month, and if you really want to teach, can't they all be the same?"

"Think about what to do with these things. Also, how much training should the invited gentleman give, whether this training is fixed, or calculated according to the number of students taught, you also think about it."

Li Xiaonan and Sister-in-law Lu talked about the details here and there, and sent Sister-in-law Lu to Guoxiang, then turned around and rushed to Ma's loom workshop.

Sister-in-law Gu sent Li Xiaonan away, turned around and saw her husband, Shopkeeper Ma, with his hands behind his back, frowning, and asked angrily, "Why is she here? After so long, there is a lot of work at home!"

"He's here for business!" Sister Gu patted her apron in annoyance.

"A little girl, what business can she say!" The shopkeeper raised his voice, "What did she say?"

"It's said that our loom is troublesome to use. Let's recruit some skilled craftsmen to see if we can find a way to make the hedging loom easier so that stupid people can use it." Mrs. Gu sat in front of the loom.

"People are stupid looms? No matter how we modify this loom, a stupid person will still be a stupid person!" The shopkeeper Ma spat.

He hated that Ni'er just now, she went in and out to make a fuss, she was not a good person at first glance!Under the guise of doing business, they always look for his wife instead of him. How can there be a serious businessman who doesn't look for men and women?
He always felt that the girl came here to provoke his wife, she must have seen that his family was doing well, and she must be playing tricks!

"She asked us to see if this composite board can be changed into a simpler one, and it can be changed to a fixed one. It doesn't need to be too detailed, but it needs to be easy to use..."

"Pooh!"

Sister-in-law Gu's words were interrupted by Shopkeeper Ma's loud bah, "Working is all about the best and the best, the more refined the better, and the most important thing in business is the quality of things. Is she doing business? She's here to play tricks!"

Sister-in-law Gu stopped weaving and looked at the horse shopkeeper with her mouth pursed.

"Yu Xing always wants to order a hundred hedging looms. This is the work in the industry. Don't you know which is light and which is heavy?

"We can't finish these one hundred looms, do we still have time to pick up others?

"I told you earlier, don't bother with that girl, we have so much business that we don't have time to talk to her! Let me tell you, if you keep talking to that girl, you should pack up and go back to your mother's house Let's go!" Shopkeeper Ma said, turned around and left.

Sister-in-law Gu pursed her lips tightly. After a while, she took a slow breath and let it out bit by bit.

This is the Ma family, her surname is Gu!

When she got married, everyone shouted that she had returned home, but no matter how many years she had been "home" or how many children she had, he could drive her out of this "home" with one word.

He asked her to go back to her natal family, that's the way to go, when her natal family drove her away, it was to let her go home, that's the way to go.

They are all home, not her home.

She doesn't care, the home is his, not hers.
