On the way to escape famine, my parents divorced

(Thanks to Li Li Loves Chocolate for voting for 1 monthly tickets.)
After Li Shiyue discussed with everyone about buying land and building a house and investing in a papermaking workshop, she went to Li Youfu's house the next day.

But when she arrived at the door, by chance, she ran into Li Shiyang who was returning home.

"Brother Shiyang?"

Li Shiyang got off his horse, responded, called out "October", and asked her: "Have you also heard the news about the trade?"

Li Shiyue was surprised for a moment and then he realized that, yes, Li Shiyang worked under Mr. Chen, so he would naturally know the news of the trade first.

Even though there was a rift between him and Li Youfu due to Li Wangren's death, Li Shiyang was still a member of Lijia Village and the next patriarch.

So after he knew the news in advance, wouldn't it be right for him to go back to the village and tell the tribe members, allowing them to take advantage of it?
Seeing Li Shiyue nod, Li Shiyang tied up the horse, turned around and said to her: "We've caught up, let's go inside and talk."

Li Shiyue stopped, she stood still, bowed to Li Shiyang, raised her head and said, "Brother Shiyang, since you are going to tell Grandpa Fu, I will not go in.

I was just planning to talk about this, but I have something else to do at home, so I’ll go back first.”

After saying this, Li Shiyue turned around and left without waiting for Li Shiyang to speak.

Looking at Li Shiyue's back, Li Shiyang's expression was somewhat gloomy.

However, the excuse Li Shiyue made to Li Shiyang was true, she really had something to do.

Isn't it the New Year's Eve?

Although she and Li Qiutian went to Sanshan County to give New Year gifts to Liu Tan and Yan Jiuniang last time, they had already bought a lot of things in Sanshan County.

However, when the Chinese New Year comes, it seems like everything is missing at home.

Also, when I was talking to Li Wangshui and the others yesterday, I realized that every family wanted to take advantage of the year-end to go out and buy some basic necessities, like rice, flour, oil, grains, cloth, bedding, needles and thread, pots and pans, all of which they wanted.

Besides, don’t we have to go to Sanshan County to find the household department to buy land?

Therefore, Li Shiyue really had something to do, and she was not just making excuses with Li Shiyang for not wanting to go into the house to see Li Youfu.

Of course, Li Shiyue really didn't want to see old man Li Youfu.

She doesn't want to work hard and still be treated unfairly just because of her identity as a woman!
Impossible!

She can't stand this anger!
In the past, there was no way to resist, but now, Li Shiyue is not afraid of him!
When she returned to the Li family, the cart had already been pulled up, and Li Qiutian, Li Xiatian and Shitou were all dressed and waiting for her.

At the intersection, Li Wangshui, Zhou Lanhua, and Gou Laosan were driving their bikes, and they were also waiting with their hands in their sleeves and their feet stamped.

Li Shiyue drove the carriage in front, and Li Wangshui drove the mule behind, and everyone got on the road, heading towards Qingsong Town against the wind.

However, before going to Qingsong Town to buy, they followed what Liu Laozhang said and asked around and found Sunjia Kiln.

Mr. Liu said that the ancestors of Sunjiayao started out by making bricks, and the entire village is engaged in this business. If you want to buy some tools, just go there; the prices are cheap and the quality is good.

In the spring of next year, Li Shiyue planned to take everyone to build houses on this stretch of land. When the time comes, they can rent it out or open a shop. They can just sit at home and make the money!
So, they mainly come to order bricks.

Sunjiayao is a brick-making village with a long history. It looks very impressive and can be seen at a glance as we rush over.

However, on this winter morning, there were not many people at the entrance of the village. She got off the car and knocked on the door of the first house at the entrance of the village. She told the old man with a white beard what she wanted, but the old man didn't believe her.

That’s right, who would bring a teenage girl to discuss business?
However, Li Shiyue was not unprepared. She took off her leather gloves and took out a gold ingot from her chest pocket.

As soon as the old man saw the gold, his attitude changed immediately.

Yes, who can go against gold?

Not only did he smile at Li Shiyue, he also invited Li Shiyue and the others in.

After sitting down and getting a cup of hot water, Li Shiyue got straight to the point: "Father-in-law, we are new residents of Liujiatun, west of Qingsong Town. We are planning to build a new house next spring, so we came here to order bricks in advance.

Xiao Lizi's grandfather from Liujiatun told us that the bricks from our Sunjiayao are like this," Li Shiyue gave the old man a thumbs up. The old man was a little confused, but he could tell that this was meant to praise the bricks in their village.

"So, we are here to ask before the New Year, when will we open the kiln next year? How much does a kiln of bricks cost?
If we want more, maybe it will be cheaper?
Can we provide delivery for the bricks we produce?

If it is not included, how much will it cost for delivery?"

Sun Daqiang looked at Li Shiyue, who spoke very straightforwardly without any hesitation and made her demands right away. Then he looked at the men standing behind Li Shiyue without saying a word. Only then did he deeply realize that this little girl Li Shiyue was really the one who could make the decision!
After staying at Sun Daqiang's house for half an hour and talking again and again, the two of them finally ordered the first ten kilns of bricks produced in the spring at a price acceptable to both parties.

At that moment, Li Shiyue directly wrote the document, signed it with Sun Daqiang, put his fingerprints on it, and paid a deposit. The gold ingot that was given to Sun Daqiang to show his strength was left to Sun Daqiang as a deposit.

Li Shiyue was like a gust of wind, coming quickly and leaving quickly, and he also bought three water tanks from Sun Daqiang's yard.

Seeing that Li Shiyue and his friends had already turned into the fork in the road and left their sight, Sun Daqiang was still a little bit incredulous: "Is it possible that business is coming to me just by sitting at home?"

After returning home, he took out the gold ingot from his chest, looked around to see that there was no one in the room, and then Sun Daqiang took a bite of it, leaving a clear tooth mark on the gold ingot.

He finally realized what was happening, and shouted to his wife outside the house with a smile, "His mother, hurry up, go call the eldest and second sons back, this is a big deal!"

When they arrived at Qingsong Town, Zhou Lanhua, Yangzai and his cousin stayed behind, while the rest of the people followed Li Shiyue on the carriage and headed for Sanshan County.

By the time they arrived at Sanshan County, it was already mid-afternoon. It was still the restaurant selling noodle soup. Li Shiyue and his people filled the small restaurant directly.

"Hey, is the lady here? Or three bowls per person?"

Li Shiyue took off her fur hat and said to the host’s wife with a smile, “The three of us sisters each have three bowls. For them, you should serve two bowls each first. If anyone can still eat more, serve more! It’s my treat! I’ll make sure you’re full!”

Li Wangshui and the others suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "Shiyue, why do you have to pay for it?"

"That's right, that's right, we have money, don't spend money in October!"

Li Shiyue is not a stingy person. It's just a few bowls of noodle soup, which is a small amount of money.

Spending a little money can make everyone appreciate her kindness and show her generosity as a boss. It's such a good deal.

She directly took out a piece of silver and put it on the table, and said to the boss's wife: "Boss, it's up there!"

In the end, only Li Wangshui could eat three bowls of noodle soup, while the others only ate two bowls.

On the other hand, Gou Lao San only managed to eat half a bowl by forcing himself to eat it. In the end, the remaining half bowl was shared by Ma Zi and Mo Zi. (End of this chapter)
