Chapter 112 Make it clear

"Since you haven't set off yet, I'll tell you straight away." Mrs. Yu got straight to the point: "I want to go with you."

In the past few days, she had been unsure. She had already inquired about how much the textile machine would cost, but the other party said that the price was volatile. She was worried about getting a kickback - the money was all hard-earned, and she really couldn't believe it completely.

Lin Ling guessed what she was thinking. There was no way to find her at the beginning, but it was normal for her to change her mind now. She also expressed her thoughts: "I can't leave the medicine hall for the time being. I guess it will take a day or two." , shall we set off in three days?”

Madam Yu nodded, turned around and took out a money bag from the cabinet, took out fifty coins and handed it over.

"so much?"

Lin Ling didn't dare to answer.

"We will eat and live together when we get there. I can't just let you drive. As long as we can pull the loom back smoothly." Mrs. Yu seemed to have drained her strength after speaking, and sat weakly on the chair: "Doctor Lin, I will pull my I’ve staked my fortune on this, and if it doesn’t work out, I’ll have no choice but to close down.”

Madam Yu only showed up like this after the door was closed. She looked bright and beautiful on the outside, but she was already rotten on the inside.

Half of the embroidery lady left, and the remaining half was just hanging around. All her business went to the women's embroidery workshop, and she now relied on a few remote merchants to support her.

Lin Ling didn't ask in detail, but instead sat aside, thought for a moment and asked, "I've been here many times, but I haven't seen Shayi once."

"That kind of detailed work is not available here. We can only rely on caravans to bring it from the big embroidery workshops in the south of the Yangtze River. Only one tael of silver can be made into ready-made clothes. It is very expensive and no one wears it except in those places." Mrs. Yu The products sold are ordinary coarse cloth and slightly expensive brocade cloth, and neither of them makes much money. The main thing is embroidery: "Do you want to buy it?"

"No, no." Lin Ling waved her hands quickly, fearing that Mrs. Yu would think too much, and explained: "I want to sell it to a brothel, and they will be willing to pay more."

"That's it." Madam Yu did not continue, her refusal was obvious enough.

Lin Ling stood up with a smile: "That's settled."

"Okay." Madam Yu walked her to the door, then said hello to Gu Qingshan and watched them leave.

After leaving the town, they headed home.

When I got home, the pot was hot and the stove was hot, and a figure was busy in the kitchen.

Hearing the sound, Mrs. Bai poked her head out and smiled like Hua'er: "Third child, third child's wife, Panhui Panxue, you are back, sit down first, I will prepare it soon."

Li Wuniang was wondering why she was ignored alone, when she shouted.

Bai Shi said: "Pan Rui's wife, come here and help me cut the vegetables."

Lin Ling frowned slightly, stretched out her hand to stop Li Wuniang, then lifted up her sleeves and walked in: "I'll cut it."

Entering the kitchen, the dishes are fragrant.

Bai worked hard and made braised pork and meatballs with taro paste. The next dish was fried potatoes, which needed to be shredded.

Lin Ling held the knife and started slicing.

When Bai saw Li Wuniang returning to the house, she sighed and shook her head: "It's been less than two months and you're already resting? When I was pregnant, I didn't work the same way and nothing happened. You, don't You dote on your children too much, otherwise you will just have children in the future, do nothing, and become more and more lazy."

She talks endlessly about other people.

"I have a lot of problems just because I worked while I was pregnant."

Lin Ling stopped him in one sentence.

Speaking of the past, when she was pregnant four times, Bai would either help at Gu Dashan's house or go to work in the fields and ignore her. Gu Qingshan took care of everything at that time, otherwise she wouldn't be so good now. body of. Of course, being young and recovering quickly when giving birth is also a reason.

Bai felt guilty and immediately changed the subject: "You all go to work in the town now?"

"No."

Lin Ling concentrated on chopping potatoes.

Bai Shi glanced at her and didn't believe it at all. Otherwise, why would the family go to town for a whole day?

Suppressing her displeasure, she deliberately mentioned it again: "Xiaohua has gone back."

Lin Ling put down the knife: "Mom, the potatoes have been cut into shreds." After saying that, she went straight to Gu Panxue's room.

Bai Shi hasn’t finished speaking yet! This wife is becoming more and more unseemly!

She speeded up the cooking, scooped out some of the vegetables and put them away, then put the others on the table and said, "It's time to eat."

After a while, everyone came out of the house and sat down in the main room.

Gu Panhui was responsible for scooping out the rice, and Gu Panxue brought it to people.

Seeing Gu Qingshan come in, Mrs. Bai smiled lovingly: "Third brother, you guys went to town today, and there's no one at home to cook. If I don't want it, you can give me money or food on a monthly basis, so you don't need to bother me." Came here for every meal.”

If you give too much, do you think you should take it for granted?

Gu Panhui was so angry that she said angrily: "Grandma, my father goes up the mountain every day. He is so tired that water can come out of his clothes. My mother leaves early and comes home late. She is so busy that she doesn't even have time to drink water. My eldest brother rarely comes back home once a month. , My sister-in-law is pregnant and working too, why do you ask for it?"

The whole family is working hard to make their home better, not to mention him. Young people like Gu Panxue are also aggrieved.

"I'm your father's mother, your grandma." But Bai's thoughts were different: "Would we have you without me? You make more money, and you are the whole family. I don't need your help. Life."

"So coming here to cook is a lie, but enjoying the autumn breeze is real?" Lin Ling went to the kitchen and brought over a large bowl left behind.

The bowl was filled with white rice, with large swaths of meat on top, more than what was on the table.

Gu Qingshan saw Bai's face clearly and said coldly: "From now on, I will give you money every month, just for you! But we will share the debt, so don't be in a hurry to say anything."

Bai Shi was choked back when she opened her mouth.

"I will go to the creditors and ask them to ask for it from you. If you have nothing to do in the future, don't come over again. If you have anything to do, wait until we come back to discuss it. Otherwise, it will spread that you took so many things while we were not at home, which will be embarrassing."

Gu Qingshan signaled Lin Ling to give the bowl to Bai. Time and time again, no matter how patient he was, his patience was worn out.

Seeing the indifference of the family, Mrs. Bai took the bowl out with a guilty conscience. Before she stepped out of the rice, she saw a figure: "You made them angry with your good idea."

Aunt Hu hugged her chest and leaned against the earthen wall, glanced at the big bowl, and her eyes suddenly straightened: "You just said, are you really getting meat? You are his wife, and you have said harsh words several times, but you still don't have the same words. I am just joking."

Bai thought for a moment and said, "Okay, Nuo, here you go." She handed the bowl over directly.

Aunt Hu was not polite. She picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into her mouth. She stuffed it into her mouth and said with unclear enunciation: "The craftsmanship is good."

Bai took the things and left.

Gu Panhui walked home quickly and recounted what he saw. He was so angry: "If it hadn't been for Hu Ao, so many things wouldn't have happened. Dad's job would have been lost. How could grandma turn her elbow outward?"
