When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 592 Peasant Woman 20
The same conversation took place in every household in the clan. Now that everyone's life was better, it was time to arrange marriages. In the past, no one dared to think about this.

Because Miaogou Village was poor, it was already very difficult for ordinary families to get together a set of decent clothes, and how could they afford to marry and have children? Everyone could only endure like this, but they didn't expect that now the hardship would pay off.

Sure enough, after the workshop started working after the New Year, the clan held weddings one after another. Tan You also became a busy person. Every family in the clan invited her to attend the wedding.

"This is the tenth wedding this month. I see that they are all new brides-in-law, and there are also daughters of marriageable age in the clan." Tan You asked about this while drinking.

Chen Tianshui stroked his beard and said, "No one wants to marry outside the family. They think it's better to stay in the family. If you marry outside the family, you have to face all kinds of calculations."

Tan You thought about it and agreed: "That being said, then why not marry someone else?"

Chen Tianshui was thinking: "How many sons from good families are willing to marry into a family these days?"

Tan You has his own opinion: "We won't look for people from the nearby villages, but we can look for refugees. There are many refugees outside now. Now our tribesmen are working in the workshop. In the future, our workshop will need more employees, and our tribesmen will not have time to take care of the fields in the tribe."

"If we allow the refugees to settle down here, these fields will be cultivated. There are so many pieces of land outside the village. If we reclaim and utilize them all, the harvest in one year will be enough to feed the whole clan for three to five years."

This is a big deal, and Chen Tianshui can't make the decision: "We will discuss it with the elders later. But if we want to take in refugees, we have to find people with good character and ability. We can't let sneaky people into the village."

Tan You: "Don't worry, as long as the elders agree, I will take care of all these matters. I think I have some ability to judge people."

After the banquet, Tan You and the elders held a meeting. Everyone had different opinions on what Tan You said about the refugees, but generally speaking, most people agreed.

Rather than getting entangled with the nearby villages, it is better to take in outsiders. Outsiders have no roots, and if they want to survive in the village, they can only rely on the clan.

By that time, the clan’s population had increased and its power had become stronger.

After getting the accurate information from the elders, Tan You did not delay and took Chen Xi and An Wen to the capital the next day. The first purpose of her trip was to find the refugees, and the other purpose was to find out the whereabouts of Chen Cui.

But Chen Yue and Chen Xing were still too young, so Tan You sent them to Chen Tianshui's house to stay for a while. The two were very happy, and to be honest, Tan You was thankful that they didn't cry.

When traveling, Tan You didn't dress up as a man. There was no need. This era was not as feudal as the Qing Dynasty. There were indeed many women traveling, so it was not uncommon for Tan You to dress like this.

An Wen sat on the car hook: "Aunt, is it really okay that you are not at the workshop?"

Tan You: "What does it matter? The elders are here. This is not my business, it's the tribe's business. No one in the tribe will allow others to destroy this livelihood."

“Only when personal interests are transformed into the interests of all can everyone work together and be selfless.”

An Wen lowered his eyes: "It's what you always say, aunt, about unity."

Tan You spread his hands: "That's about right. Everyone is experienced and they can do all these things well. But the soap workshop is a bit thin after all. We have to find some other business."

Chen Xi reminded Tan You: "In a few months, the mosquito coil workshop will start to be busy again."

Tan You didn't care: "How can that be enough? That's just a small amount of money. We have to work hard to make money and store silver and food. No matter what time, we won't panic if we have money and food in our hands." "It's a pity that we don't have much food on hand. If we had enough flour, we could make instant noodles."

Chen Xi: "In a few months, the wheat harvest will be ready, and the tribe will have a lot of wheat stored."

"Those are everyone's food rations," Tan You said softly, "Forget it, I'll think of another way."

She had a lot of ways to make money in her mind, such as papermaking, tea printing, etc., but none of these could be protected by the clan. Not only would she not be able to make money, but she would also be in danger of being killed.

An Wen thought for a moment and said, "Aunt, you previously asked Sihai Grocery to help you collect wool. What do you plan to do with the wool?"

Tan You: "That's too many. Wool can be spun into yarn to make woolen clothes or woolen cloth, etc. But wool products also have disadvantages. They shrink easily, especially pure wool. But after wearing a piece of clothing for a long time, people always have to wash it."

"In the final analysis, woolen sweaters still have many limitations, so I won't consider setting up a workshop for this for now."

"The reason why I asked Sihai to collect wool is to make everyone have a better winter this year. Because woolen clothes and woolen pants are indeed warm."

An Wen was confused. Although he didn't know what woolen sweaters were, they sounded like they were very warm.

"Then can we make furs? Can we raise rabbits?" Chen Xi raised another point: "If the tribe raises rabbits, we can eat the rabbit meat ourselves or sell it, and we can make clothes with the rabbit skins."

"It's like a pig farm in the tribe."

Tan You: "Rabbits are very good at digging holes, and they are not easy to raise, although they are very fertile. Raising rabbits also requires a lot of grass, food, etc., which is a lot of work."

The risk resistance of breeding is too low. If the animals get sick, it will really be like going back to the days before liberation. So privately, Tan You doesn't want to engage in breeding on a large scale.

The few of them talked along the way, and they were not in a hurry to go on their way, just letting Dazao walk slowly. It was also the first time for Tan You to come to the city, and he really felt it was quite fresh.

The Miaogou Village where they live is located in the southwest of the provincial capital. Nowadays, the closer you get to the provincial capital, the more populated it is and more prosperous it appears.

Chen Xi shook his legs: "Mom, this is the city? It's so lively."

Tan You said calmly: "It's natural that the city is bustling."

Others saw the prosperity and bustle of the city, but Tan You saw the flourishing flowers and simmering oil. So, in the coming chaotic times, she had to be the first to seize talents and resources.

Sihai Grocery naturally had a store in the city. Coincidentally, when Tan You brought Chen Xi and An Wen to Sihai Grocery, Xue Guanglin was actually in the store. Seeing the three of them, Xue Guanglin was overjoyed.

"Madam, why did you come to the city?"

Tan You smiled and gently pushed An Wen's back: "I couldn't find any news about Chen Cui in the town, so I thought of bringing the children to the capital to see her."
