The growth of the eldest daughter-in-law of the farm gate

Chapter 107

Zhao Yunlan took Li Mingren back to the house after calculating the money to build the house. Li Mingren thought that the lady would be sweet with him, so he was very happy.But Zhao Yunlan just kept coughing, Li Mingren didn't understand what Zhao Yunlan meant by coughing, and asked, "My lady, is your throat uncomfortable?"

Zhao Yunlan rolled her eyes helplessly, thinking that's how mother coughed at dad just now!
Zhao Yunlan had no choice but to say directly: "You have more than 50 taels of silver on you!"

Li Mingren suddenly became embarrassed, "My lady, you are really astute, and I have a good understanding with me. In fact, I have one hundred taels."

Zhao Yunlan: "Then you are not going to hand it in, who do you want to spend it with so much money?"

Li Mingren said anxiously: "My lady, I don't, I just..."

Zhao Yunlan: "Huh?" She spread her hands.

Li Mingren understood: "My lady, give the remaining 50 taels."

Zhao Yunlan: "I didn't even know about it, but you still managed to collect the money quietly. If it wasn't for today's incident, how long are you going to keep it a secret?"

Li Mingren: "My lady, I didn't mean to hide it from you. I just thought, I want to buy jewelry for my lady. I finally got rich, so I want to buy better jewelry for my lady."

Zhao Yunlan was happy in her heart: "Then I will forgive you this time, hey! I will leave you ten taels of silver with me. Now, there is one more thing, the gift is not expensive, it is your heart."

Li Mingren nodded, couldn't help holding Zhao Yunlan and chewing on it.Xiaobao rushed in, "Mother, look at me..." The little rabbit hadn't finished speaking, "Mother, your mouth is so red! Dad, you are too. Dad, mother, what are you eating? What about things?"

Zhao Yunlan rolled her eyes at Li Mingren, smiled and said to Xiaobao: "You ask your father, and your father gave it to me quietly." After speaking, she gave the house to the father and son.

Li Mingren couldn't stand Xiaobao's foodie behavior, so he had no choice but to say that he had finished eating, and next time he went to town, he would definitely buy an extra serving for Xiaobao.

The day that old man Li had calculated earlier was suitable for breaking ground, craftsman Zhang also arrived as scheduled, and the people hired by the village also came to Li's house.Zhao Yunlan invited everyone to drink a bowl of tea first, and Craftsman Zhang led the workers to start the work.Because the whole house was going to be demolished and rebuilt, Zhao Yunlan packed up all the things in advance and went to the small courtyard bought in the town, thinking about living in the town for a while.

Li Mingli stayed in the village to oversee the process of building the house, and lived in a hut on the other side of the hill next to Deng Yong's family with a companion.

Li Mingren sent Li Mingzhi to the school, and then left for the county to enter the county school.Li Mingyi went back to the shop, thinking that he would go to Fucheng to open a restaurant in the future, so no one would come to take care of the hot and sour noodle shop in this town.

Now there are five people living in the small courtyard in the town, Mrs. Wang's Li, Li Mingmei, Zhao Yunlan and Xiaobao.Li Mingyi came here every now and then, and now almost all his family members were in the town, so it was much easier for Li Mingyi to discuss matters.

This day, Zhao Yunlan had just returned from Li's Village when she saw Li Mingyi waiting in the courtyard.

"Sister-in-law, you are back, let's eat first! I have something to discuss with you." Li Mingyi said.

Zhao Yunlan: "Okay, let's eat first."

After the meal, the Wangs were sitting in the main room, and Li Mingyi said: "Sister-in-law, I think we should buy some servants and come back, otherwise we will go to Fucheng by then, and no one can take care of this shop."

When Zhao Yunlan heard about the buyer, she still had some resistance in her heart: "I think that Wang Er has done a good job, maybe it's okay to train him."

Li Mingyi said seriously: "Sister-in-law, this Wang Er has done a good job, but this is our own business after all. Wang Er is not willing to sell himself, and I can't force him to do so. You still have to trust your own talents."

Old man Li also nodded beside him and said, "Yes, eldest daughter-in-law, this business of our own cannot be entrusted to outsiders."

Mrs. Wang also said: "Well, what the second brother said is right, you should have your own manpower. Tomorrow Yunlan will go to Yaren to have a look. It is convenient to live in the town now."

Zhao Yunlan could only nod her head in response to Wang's words, and sighed silently in her heart. She knew that this would always happen to her age when she made Li Mingren insist on studying and taking the imperial examination.

Zhao Yunlan went back to her room to sleep, thinking about going to see it tomorrow first.

The next day, Zhao Yunlan came to Mrs. Qu. Mrs. Qu knew that she was a lady from Qingshui Town who had just been admitted to the scholar's family this year. She smiled and warmly led Zhao Yunlan to see those prostitutes.

Zhao Yunlan saw those people who were waiting to be bought. Although their clothes were old, they were neat and tidy, their bodies looked thin and their eyes were still bright, and thought that this prostitute was not treating them harshly.

Qu Yapo asked: "I don't know what kind of servants the talented lady should choose. I can introduce them one by one for the lady."

Zhao Yunlan was surprised that the matchmaker knew her identity, and then thought that this is a human business, and Qingshui Town is not big, so if you want to do a good job in this business, you have to understand the relationship between the big and small of Qingshui Town.

Zhao Yunlan said: "Then I will ask Mrs. Qu to introduce first."

Qu Yapo immediately introduced: "This group was originally a cook for a rich merchant in Fucheng, because the rich merchant wanted to take his whole family northward, and he couldn't bring so many servants, so he sold them."

Zhao Yunlan nodded, and Mistress Qu continued: "That family of three used to be the kitchen steward of an official's house." At this point, Mistress Qu lowered her voice, "The official committed corruption and was sent to the frontier. Fortunately, the official who committed the crime had a wise old lady who sold out all the servants in the family in advance."

Zhao Yunlan nodded her head, but shook her head in her heart.

Hey~ It's really a skill to buy someone!Zhao Yunlan heard Qu Yamao's saliva almost dry, and she didn't have an idea.Seeing that Zhao Yunlan hadn't spoken, Qu Yapo wasn't impatient. Anyway, business hasn't been busy recently, so it doesn't take much time to delay anything.Qu Yapo also served tea to Zhao Yunlan, making Zhao Yunlan think slowly.

Zhao Yunlan thought, her family doesn't need so many servants now, the Wang family said that she would arrange a servant for Li Mingren, and Li Mingyi needed someone to take over the shop.Then only two people are needed.

Zhao Yunlan looked around, finally locked her eyes on the family of three, and asked, "Grandma Qu, how much are the father and son..." Zhao Yunlan wanted to ask how much, but she always felt weird when the words came out of her mouth.

Qu Yapo understood Zhao Yunlan's meaning and said with some embarrassment: "The family said they want to sell together, and they don't want to separate."

Zhao Yunlan looked at the woman in the family, then at the father and son whom she was optimistic about, then turned her head and looked at the others, there was indeed no suitable one.

The man from this family who was spotted used to be in charge of the kitchen. Zhao Yunlan thought that this man must be good at cooking on the stove. She was looking at the children of that family, who seemed to be the same age as Li Mingren, and they were Li Mingren's little boy. It's just that there are no other children of the right age, but this woman!
Hey~ It's fine for more than one person to do housework, and I have to go to Fucheng to do some work in the future. If there are more than one person helping Wang and Li Mingmei at home, I can feel more at ease outside.

Zhao Yunlan made up her mind, and didn't ask the price, and she really couldn't ask, so she paid the money, took the deed of sale, and left with her.

Zhao Yunlan first took the man back to the small courtyard, found some clean old clothes at home and changed them into the family of three first, so that the three of them could get acquainted with the house first, mainly because Zhao Yunlan herself had to adapt to the life of servants .
