Listening to the voices in the room, Lu Xiaoli's tears couldn't stop falling.

She is not a mean person, she is just angry.

The Dongzhi family had no money because Dongzhi's mother fell ill in the autumn. When she came to the door, she told her that if she still had a hundred coins, she would not send them to her. She asked Brother Lu Quan to forgive her and that she would pay them back when the wheat was harvested next year.

The Chen family didn't have enough money, and the Lu family didn't think anything was wrong. Chen Pingan didn't have enough money. He was working hard to learn how to make oil-paper umbrellas, just to earn more money so that he could pay off the Lu family's debts.

But why did the Ma family and the Goudan family not pay back the money? This was what made Lu Xiaoli unhappy.

She felt that Aunt Ma and Goudan Niang had agreed upon it, and deliberately took thirty coins to pay off the debt, and wanted to default on the remaining money.

This is bullying an honest person, and she was right.

But now, Boss Ma and Goudan Daddy came one after another to send money, Lu Xiaoli's face felt like it was on fire, and she felt that she was being mean again.

Lu Sheige took Lu Xiaoli's hand and pressed it, causing her to wake up from her daze: "Second sister, let's go to Shake's house and see how Brother Ping'an made the oil-paper umbrella."

Chen Yaoyao's house has not yet been built, and they still live in the wing next to the Lu family's east house.

The Lu family siblings knocked on the door of the east wing, and one by one, like little mice, they slipped into the room where Chen Yaoyao and Grandma Chen were sleeping.

The weather was cold, Grandma Chen had cold legs, and a charcoal fire was lit in the house early.

Chen Ping'an occupies most of the room, filled with his oil-paper umbrellas. Fortunately, they are neatly arranged and don't look messy.

Seeing several children from the Lu family arriving, Grandma Chen hurriedly asked Chen Yaoyao to get some small potatoes and put them on the charcoal fire.

Small and sweet, they roast quickly under charcoal fire and will be cooked quickly.

Lu Xiaoli was obviously thoughtful, sitting on a low stool with his knees crossed and staring at the charcoal fire in a daze.

Lu Xiaoqing looked at Xiao Li, feeling a little unbearable, and teased Lu Xiaosi who was teasing Xiao Wu.

She's clumsy and doesn't know what to say, so it's better to find a mistress.

Lu Xiaosi followed Lu Xiaoqing's eyes, looked at Lu Xiaoli, and scratched his head.

"Second sister, I think what you said today is right." This was Lu Shege's innermost thoughts.

If she were Lu Quan's biological daughter, she would also want to say this.

Lu Xiaoli turned his head to look at Lu Xiaosi, with tears still in his eyes: "But when I see Uncle Ma and the others, I feel guilty and feel uncomfortable."

Lu Xiaoyu couldn't help but murmured: "Why are you feeling uncomfortable? It's because Aunt Ma and Goudanniang are not doing things right. How can they still be justified?"

Grandma Chen closed the door and warmed herself by the fire. She didn't hear what Lu Xiaoli said, but watching her sisters talk, she vaguely understood.

Her family still owed money to the Lu family. She didn't feel comfortable accepting this. She could only pull out the smallest roasted potato, pinch it and hand it to Chen Pingan: "This is cooked, give it to Xiao Wu first."

Then he picked and pulled out one and handed it to Lu Xiaoli: "Good boy, you are a straight-talking person. Xiaoyu is right about this. It was your Aunt Ma and Goudanniang who did it unethically."

"That's it." Chen Yaoyao took the handkerchief and handed it to Lu Xiaoli, "If you have money at home, you should pay it back. If you keep it, you won't be able to have babies. If your family doesn't advance this money, are they really going to let Uncle Ma and Goudan Daddy care about it?

With?"

Lu Xiaoli gave it to Lu Xiaosi again. Now she felt uncomfortable and didn't want to eat anything.

"Goudanniang doesn't know how." Lu Sheige stretched out his hand and broke the potato in half, and gave another half to Lu Xiaoli, "But Aunt Ma, that's not necessarily the case."

Anyway, the person arrested was not a man from her family, so she didn't care about Boss Ma's life or death.

Goudanniang would never have thought of this, it must be Aunt Ma who was behind it.

"Your Aunt Ma can do it, but Ma Laoer and Ma Laosan can't let it go. There are also orchid heads and orchids." Grandma Chen picked out two more from the charcoal basin and handed them to Xiaoqing and Xiaoyu respectively.

Lu Xiaoqing gave half to Yaoyao, and Xiaoyu gave another half to Lu Xiaowu.

Lu Xiaoqing couldn't help but speak: "If you ask me, Uncle Ma should have separated Lan Tou and Lan Hua."

It saves Lan Hua from being scolded by Aunt Ma.

Lu Xiaoqing and Malanhua were close, and Ma Lanhua said everything to Lu Xiaoqing. It's better now. When they were at the dock, Aunt Ma wouldn't even let Malanhua have a full meal.

Grandma Chen sighed: "Hey, every family has difficulties in reciting the scriptures. It's not easy for Uncle Ma either. In the past few years, Lan Tou Lan Hua was a child, and it was his two brothers who helped to raise him. Now Ma Lao Er's child

He was still young, Ma Laosan's third daughter-in-law had just become pregnant, and when the orchids were still able to work, he might have felt sorry for his two brothers by separating the family at this time."

Xiaoyu asked in confusion: "Didn't they say that when spring comes, they will build a few more rooms and then they will be separated?"

Lu Xiaoli took a bite of the hot roasted potato and felt a lot of comfort in his heart: "I said spring construction has started, but I don't know when it will be completed. Now that I have paid an extra portion of the imperial grain, how can I still have money?

?”

"That's right." Lu Xiaoyu was discouraged, "Then doesn't Malanhua have to wait until she gets married to get rid of her second aunt?"

"Silly boy." Grandma Chen took out the remaining two roasted potatoes with a smile, "Little girls, they don't know how to marry or not. Be careful if your mother hears you scolding you."

Xiaoyu bared his teeth at Grandma Chen honestly: "My mother can't hear you."

Grandma Chen looked at the children lovingly, then grabbed two handfuls of peanuts and roasted them beside the charcoal pot.

The Lu family has no shortage of food, but when the children come to play in her house, she always looks for something to give them.

It's all a matter of mind.

When the roasted potatoes were ready, everyone was silent and busy blowing and eating them.

Chen Ping'an held Lu Xiaowu and sat next to Lu Xiaosi. He carefully peeled the skin of the potato and blew it cool in mouthfuls to feed Xiaowu.

He was grateful to Lu Xiaosi in his heart, but he didn't know how to express it. He could only try his best to do something for the Lu family.

Unexpectedly, this time he had to pay the imperial rations and his family owed money to the Lu family.

Xiaosi taught Chen Pingan how to make oil-paper umbrellas. Although Xiaosi didn't remember many of the processes very clearly, Chen Pingan was not stupid.

He was so cruel that he spent a lot of money to buy an oil-paper umbrella from the town and took it apart bit by bit to explore on his own.

Until you figure it out.

During this time, Chen Ping'an was able to make a strong oil-paper umbrella.

The first oil-paper umbrella made by Chen Ping'an is now in Lu Xiaosi's house. Although it looks simple, it is really strong.

According to Lu Shengge's idea, of course, only by making good-looking and exquisite oil-paper umbrellas can they be sold at a high price.

But Chen Ping'an's thoughts were much simpler.

He can't draw. To make the oil-paper umbrella look good, you don't have to be able to draw.

Also, if I really like exquisite objects, they must be made by a master with good skills. He doesn’t even have a serious master, like Lu Xiaosi, a master who tells him how to do this and how to do that, and then gives up.

, can only be said to be half a master.

He might as well be more honest, make sturdy and durable oil-paper umbrellas, and sell them to those who really need oil-paper umbrellas.
