Chapter 16 Mediation
When Li Ruying and his wife received the 61 taels of silver, they were overjoyed. Li Rulin was able to let go of his worries, and became more determined not to let Li Ruying and his wife know that their family had earned [-] taels of silver from selling shrimp.But Li Wanqing's complexion did not get any better.

Because the dried shrimps had only been in the sun for two days, she made a net profit of [-] Wen, so Li Ruying went home to put the money away, and then went to the small river to fish for shrimps.

Li Wanqing had to ask Zhou Laifu next door to help unload the three large tile vats that Li Wanqing bought.

Li Wanqing didn't speak a word to Li Rulin throughout the night except for discussing the opening of the workshop.

When there were only four members left in the family, Li Wanqing began to discuss the matter of opening a workshop. Because there was an open space of more than 30 square meters behind the house, Li Wanqing asked Li Rulin to build a grass shed behind, and suggested that Zhou Laifu, the neighbor next door, could provide two meals a day for help. In addition, the wages of three Wen a day are counted.

Li Wanqing, the man who pickled the longevity fruit, asked Lin Shuirou to find hardworking, honest and reliable women in the village for help. The workshop has just opened, and only two people are enough.

"Qing'er, we haven't sold any of the longevity fruits we've pickled before, and now we're making so many, what if we can't sell them?" Lin Shuirou was very worried about the dried longevity fruit. After all, these are new foods, and I don’t know if anyone would buy them, so her daughter started to open a workshop. Although the longevity fruit does not require capital, soy sauce But, salt and sugar all cost money.

If this cannot be sold, all the 60 taels of silver will be in vain.

Li Wanqing smiled slightly, and patted Lin Shuirou's hand to comfort her: "Mother, I've already figured out how to sell those long-bang fruits that have been pickled, don't worry, I promise to sell them, and they will be very popular."

Looking at her confident daughter, Lin Shuirou opened her mouth several times, but finally said nothing.

The 60 taels was also earned by my daughter, so she can do as much as she likes, and the worst plan is to return to her original shape.

Li Rulin also wanted to say a few words, but Li Wanqing didn't even give him a look. He knew that what he said during the day had hurt his daughter's heart.

Lin Shuirou also noticed the abnormality of the father and daughter, and wanted to persuade her, but her daughter didn't even give her husband a look. Considering that her daughter is also a big girl, and now she is so assertive, I'm afraid it's hard to persuade her. At night, after the children are asleep, I will ask my husband in detail.

After earning money, Li Rulin bought two more straw mats, and divided Li Wanqing and Li Muchen into the other two thatched houses to sleep in. They usually ate in Li Rulin's and his wife's room.

After Li Wanqing's siblings returned to the house, Lin Shuirou asked, "Did you make Qing'er angry?"

Hearing his wife's question, Li Rulin looked up at Lin Shuirou, and then sighed deeply.

Lin Shuirou was even more puzzled: "What's wrong?"

After hesitating again and again, Li Rulin still told Lin Shuirou what happened today.

Lin Shuirou shook her head helplessly after listening: "No wonder Qing'er is angry with you, and I would be angry too."

"Why?" Li Rulin couldn't figure it out, he was just worried, why was Li Wanqing angry?

"Let me ask you, were you there when shopkeeper Ji lowered the price?" What kind of temper is Li Rulin? She has been married to him for 15 years, and she still doesn't know that he loves their mother and three children very much, but at the same time Li Rulin also loves them. As a straight person, you can express your dissatisfaction on your face or say it directly, regardless of whether it will offend others?

"exist."

"Then did you pay back?"

"No."

"Then you still talk so much, I guess Qing'er thinks you're blaming her for not selling her second uncle's dried shrimps at a good price." The mother was so considerate, and she explained the problem with just one word.

"Shuirou, I didn't mean that." Li Rulin immediately denied it.

"I know you don't, but Qing'er doesn't know? If she knew, she wouldn't be angry with you." Seeing her husband's anxious expression, Lin Shuirou was angry and funny.

No matter how assertive their daughter is, she is only 15 years old after all.

"Huh?" Li Rulin was stunned.

Seeing her husband stunned, Lin Shuirou couldn't bear it. He has done a good job in the past 15 years, and it would be too much for her to ask for it.

"I will make it clear to Qing'er tomorrow that Qing'er is not that unreasonable person."

"Well, then you have to make it clear to her tomorrow." Li Rulin said nervously.

"I see, no matter how wrong you are, you are still her father, and she can still have an overnight feud with you." Lin Shuirou cast a glance at him.

"That's right." Li Rulin scratched his head and smiled foolishly.

"You, it's time to change your blunt temperament." Lin Shuirou shook his head and began to take off his coat to sleep.

Because the weather is getting hotter, Lin Shuirou's underwear is relatively thin, and Li Rulin is very emotional when she sees her mature and delicate body that has given birth to two children.

As soon as the long arms stretched out, Lin Shuirou was encircled in love: "Rou'er." The voice was hoarse and full of magnetism.

"Huh?" Li Rulin's sudden change made Lin Shuirou very puzzled. When she looked up and saw the two clusters of flames in Li Rulin's eyes, two red clouds floated on her delicate cheeks, making her even more beautiful.

Li Rulin blew out the lamp at the top of the kang, and impatiently covered Lin Shuirou. Soon, a shameful sound sounded in the darkness.

The next day, after breakfast, Li Rulin went to find Zhou Laifu next door to help build the workshop, and Lin Shuirou pulled Li Wanqing into the house.

"Are you having trouble with your father?"

"Mother, you don't even know how irritating father's words are." Li Wanqing felt that the more she lived, the more she went back, and she was angry with Li Rulin like a child.

But thinking that Li Rulin is her father in this world, what's even more rare is that this father still loves her very much, so she will get angry with him for a trivial matter.

"Do you think your father is blaming you for not selling your second uncle's shrimp at a good price?" Lin Shuirou continued to ask with a smile.

"Mother, you, how did you know?" Li Wanqing felt that she was really too petty, and lowered her head in shame, not daring to look directly at Lin Shuirou.

"You are Mother's daughter, how can Mother not know what you are thinking." Lin Shuirou patted Li Wanqing's head lovingly.

"Mother." Li Wanqing looked at Lin Shuirou with blurred eyes.

"Okay, mother just told you that you were thinking too much. Your father didn't mean to blame you. He just thought that our shrimps sold so well the last two times, but your second uncle only sold them for [-] yuan. Wen, I feel sorry."

"So that's how it is. It seems that I'm overthinking, haha." Li Wanqing said with a dry smile. In fact, it's not that she was overthinking, but what she was really angry about was the attitude of Li Ruying and his wife, making it seem like their family owed them It seemed that Li Rulin just hit the muzzle of the gun.

"Now that you know, don't show your father any more embarrassment." Lin Shuirou deliberately said with a tigerish face.

"Understood, mother, my daughter knows that father has been wronged, mother is heartbroken." Li Wanqing deliberately smirked.

Seeing Lin Shuirou was ashamed and angry: "You girl, who did you learn to be so glib? You are not allowed to say such a thing in the future. If someone else heard it, you don't know how ugly it is." In Lin Shuirou's concept, no matter how close a couple is, they have to close the door, and cannot be seen by others, not even their son.

"Understood, mother—" Li Wanqing giggled.

The mother and daughter chatted for a long time before walking out of the room.

During lunch, Li Wanqing took the initiative to bring food to Li Rulin, which made Zhou Laifu envious.

"Father, you are tired from work, you need to eat more." Li Wanqing said with a smile.

"Alas—" Li Rulin's excitement and joy turned into appetite.

For five consecutive days, Li Wanqing's family was busy building the workshop, and many things were left behind.

On the night when the workshop was built, Li Wanqing remembered that she hadn't told the village head that Hua Yuanju had agreed to buy their vegetables from Xiaoqing Village.

"Father, let's go to Grandpa Li's house tomorrow morning."

After being reminded by Li Wanqing, Li Rulin also remembered the matter of selling green vegetables, and agreed several times in a row.

Li Wanqing's dried longevity fruit has also been dried, and the marinated longevity fruit jam can be unsealed in three days. Li Wanqing plans to bring a small jar of the dried longevity fruit and longevity fruit jam to Ji Fang to taste Taste, and then talk about cooperation.

On the sixth morning after going to the village head's house, Mrs. Li Rulin took a small jar of dried longevity fruit and a jar of longevity jam out of the house, and took the village ox cart to Liantang Town.
