my grandmother

Chapter 207 Repaying Gratitude and Collecting Debt

Lijiaji, Kunshan County.

Li Shikuan sent Li Xiaonan away, and went straight to his nephew Li Wenhua's house with his hands behind his back. Standing at the gate of the courtyard, Li Wenhua raised his voice and called out, "Cuiye, where is your father?"

"At home, here we come!" Li Wenhua responded repeatedly, and trotted out, "Just as I was about to pass, I just saw a car, it looks like our aunt?"

"Well, get on your horse quickly, and go to Linhai Town, let your second brother and sister-in-law come back quickly, and the whole family come back, and hand over the shop to Xiao Zhou, and let Xiao Zhou take care of the shop from now on.

"Hurry up, the sooner the better, let your second brother come back as soon as possible." Li Shikuan frowned and confessed.

"Ah? Something went wrong?" Li Wenhua's eyes widened in shock.

"It's okay, it's business.

"Business is all about urgency. Only by rushing first can you earn copper coins, and slowly you can earn copper coins? Go!" Li Shikuan glared at Li Wenhua.

"Okay, okay, I'll go in and change my shoes, and I'll leave right away." Li Wenhua trotted in.

Li Shikuan turned around, and while walking towards the ancestral hall, he called the children playing on the side of the road and asked them to call several clan elders to the ancestral hall.

Early the next morning, Li Shikuan's second son, Li Wenru, came back on horseback first.

"I didn't ask you to come back with your wife. Where's your wife?" Li Shikuan was having breakfast when he saw that Li Wenru had come back alone, so he asked with a dark face.

His second son, since he was a child, has never let him worry about it!
"In the future, we will arrive around noon. Mrs. Cao took Ah Min, so he had to take a car. It was too slow. Dad said the sooner the better, so I rode back first. Is there any big business?" Li Wenru grew up , I was never afraid of his father.

Li Shikuan snorted angrily at Li Wenru's smiling face, and nodded with his chopsticks, "Eat first!"

Old Aunt Tang had already brought over salty porridge and fried rice cakes, twisted a wet handkerchief for her second son, and hastily cut up a plate of salted mutton and two salted duck eggs.

Li Shikuan looked at the plate of salted mutton and gave his wife a sidelong glance.

The second child is not stingy with his incompetence, at least half of it is his mother's habit!

Li Wenru wished he could finish his breakfast in one bite, but his father took his time and chewed ten bites, so he had to be patient and eat slowly.

Seeing that Li Shikuan finally put down his chopsticks, Li Wenru immediately put down his chopsticks, stretched out his head and asked, "Father, what's the big deal?"

"Aunt came yesterday." Li Shikuan signaled Li Wenru to make tea.

Li Wenru had no choice but to suppress his temper again, stood up and moved the teacup and teapot over.

"A'nan told me that the case in Linhai Town will not be settled for a while."

"I think so too!" Li Wenru slapped the table, met his father's staring gaze, and hurriedly added: "I really think so, I told Mrs. Cao, if you don't believe me, ask Mrs. Cao... Father, you continue to talk, I will make tea!"

Seeing that his father's teeth were wrong, Li Wenru's neck curled up.

"Anan talked about the fact that more than 50 years ago, the tax paid by the weaving workshop in the south of the Yangtze River was uniformly changed to [-]%."

"Me too...Father, keep talking!"

Li Wenru met his father's almost slap, swallowed the words in a hurry, and shrank back to hide.

"Anan said that this trip may be the same as it was 50 years ago. Some weaving workshops are afraid that they will be closed, and even if they are not closed, they will also reduce the number of looms. We set off, starting from Changshu County, recruiting weavers, and setting up schools to teach weaving methods."

"I think so too!" Li Wenru's eyes lit up excitedly.

"I made you think! You bastard!" Li Shikuan slapped Li Wenru on the head.

"I was wrong, father, you continue to talk." Li Wenru jumped up, pulled back the chair, and sat down again.

"You bastard, you are not allowed to interrupt Lao Tzu again!" Li Shikuan said angrily.

He gave birth to two sons, the eldest son came to repay the favor, and the second son came to collect debts!

"Your elder brother went to Yangzhou to buy cotton thread. This is a major event. Only Yangzhou can produce the thread for weaving fine cloth. There must be tens of thousands of looms. If you don't order this fine cotton thread quickly, it will definitely not be available. This is a major event. Li Shikuan took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and continued to explain patiently.

Li Wenru pursed his lips tightly, nodded non-stop, and didn't dare to say more.

"Your sister-in-law and Mr. Jinzhu Yuzhu sent a message to help you with the loom to collect fine cloth. They are too busy. When your daughter-in-law comes back, ask her to help your sister-in-law."

Li Wenru kept nodding.

"Wenhua is busy with chariots and horses, otherwise, even if he is ignorant, he is better than you! Alas!" Li Shikuan sighed, he was really useless.

"Anan is running around recruiting weavers by herself, I don't worry, you follow her, you have been in school for so many years, and you know a little more about running a school than others." Li Shikuan sighed again.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no one available, he really didn't want to let this incomprehensible fool follow Ah Nan.

"Okay! Dad, don't worry, my ability is no worse than that of elder brother." Li Wenru raised his chin, quite confident.

Li Shikuan snorted angrily.

"Father, let me remind you, Yinzhu's in-law's family, Hong's family, this fine cloth business, that one?" Li Wenru leaned forward and rubbed his fingers at his father.

"You need to remind!" Li Shikuan was angry again, "You don't need your reminder, and neither does the Hong family!

"The Hong family has been selling wood and looms for a long time! That old man of the Hong family has become a master! Put his precious grandson on it. His Hong family robbed the loom business, and let Yinzhu take the dowry to put it on A stake in the muslin business!

"This old thing!"

This old thing, at least [-]% to [-]% admire it.

"Anyway, they are in-laws, and we are our own family." Li Wenru answered with a smile on his face.

Li Shikuan glanced at his son speechlessly, and sighed again, this son is really his debt!

"Take a break, pack up, don't ride a horse, drive a car, and bring more luggage. Ah Nan didn't bring anything. First go to Changshu to find Ah Nan, and when you find her, follow her. Remember, You listen to Nan!"

"Dad, don't worry! Don't you know my eyesight? Don't worry, Dad. Hey! All my things are in Cao's car! This is true!" Li Wenru was annoyed.

If I had known earlier, he should have rushed back with his luggage on his back!
Li Wenru had no choice but to sleep, and when Mrs. Cao came back with several carts, he packed his luggage, had lunch, and drove the cart pulled by two healthy mules to Changshu County to look for Li Xiaonan.

Wan Qing also received orders from her family's grandson in the Wangfu Bieye outside Pingjiang City. After cheering, she repeatedly urged to prepare a car and people. She hurriedly packed her luggage, boarded the car, and headed straight to Changshu County.
