"Ah, why do you want to collect money?" Ms. Li was confused, "Mom, didn't you say before that you can give anything to the folks in your hometown? I have already made an agreement with my mother's side, and when the time comes

When the cloth is delivered, bring some eggs over as a reward for your hard work."

"I'm afraid something might happen, so you'd better go out and talk about it to make yourself feel at ease."

Seeing that her mother-in-law didn't want to take any money from her parents' family, Mrs. Li ignored it. When Dabao and Erbao came back from playing, she called them and went out with her for a walk.

This time around, Mrs. Li discovered that the big mouth was really not a human being.

I don’t know what she told the people in the village. They came to her one by one and asked her how much money her little sister earned from dyeing cloth.

Mrs. Li was so angry that she vomited blood: "What kind of money are you making? Do you know how much effort my little sister has to spend to dye a piece of cloth? With that kind of effort, she might as well make some money by making some rouge or facial fat. Even knitting a bracelet is less expensive than making money."

This makes a lot of money. If the folks in my hometown were not preparing for the New Year, my little sister would be too lazy to do this."

After talking about "hard work" and "not worth it", he directly followed Ye Yuran's words and told him the price of dyeing the cloth.

What is everyone's family background like? Everyone knows how many feet of cloth does one person need to make a suit of clothes? Ten copper coins per foot of white cloth, plus the penny their family receives, it's only eleven coins per foot. If it's colored cloth

, then it would cost at least sixteen cents per copper plate, which is really expensive.

She asked everyone to calculate for themselves. Even if they calculated like this, how much money could they save by making a suit of clothes?

If the whole family comes together, the money for three clothes and one meal of meat will be almost saved.

"Isn't this expensive? The cost of dyeing a suit of cloth is only two or three eggs. If you are a family and there are discounts, it will definitely be more cost-effective than buying colored cloth directly."

Li asked everyone to comment on whether this was true.

"Then why did I hear that if you dye this cloth, it will be the same price as buying the same color cloth at a cloth store?" Someone wondered.

Li sighed and said, "Then how do I know? Who knows who you listened to."

She didn't call her a big talker, she just said that someone was carrying a big backpack today, the biggest backpack that every household has, and they carried it to their house and asked helpers to dye it without giving them anything. She was so shameless.

It's really thick. To dye cloth, they have to prepare a bunch of materials, boil hot water, boil it in a pot, and dry it in the sun. It takes about half a month. I don't know how much work it will take at home. Just like this.

Are you still embarrassed to let their home be "free"?

"Even if it's a hometown law, it's not this kind of free law."

Li also asked everyone to do their own calculations. Which family with as many people as their Zhu family needs to buy so much cloth? And which family is willing to buy so much cloth to make clothes?

You'll know something fishy as soon as you hear it.

Many people began to think back: No, that's not what Big Mouth said.

——They are just saying, it is obvious that letting the Zhu family help dye cloth can save money, but why does it become the same price as the cloth shop when it comes to the big mouth?

——It turns out that there is still something like this in it.

——Tsk, tsk, tsk, you are indeed quite thick-skinned, and that’s not how you take advantage of others.

Someone asked Mr. Li with a smile if their family really helped dye the white cloth. He didn't need much, so he planned to make a whole suit for the child. It was probably only a few feet of cloth.

"Then you have a few feet and only need two or three eggs. If you save a few bucks at home, you can save a new set of clothes for several children. How cost-effective it is. Go to other villages and ask around, which village can have one?

Is it so cheap in our village?”

After everyone thought about it, it was true.

Someone immediately reacted and asked if they could help her mother-in-law dye it too. Her mother-in-law didn't have many people, and they would only have a few feet of cloth, just for the children.

"This is nothing. It's mainly about the color. We have to make an agreement first. After all, our family does not run a cloth shop. It is mainly for the convenience of the folks in the countryside. I want to help everyone save some money, otherwise I definitely don't want to cause this trouble.

"Li said, "We can't 100% guarantee this color, so we try to dye it ourselves, but the effect is worse than that of other cloth shops. If your family is in good condition and is particular about it, and you want to buy something with a prettier color, just dye it yourself.

Don't look for us. We just help to put on a little color and make do with it."

Zhu Bamei seems to be very talented in color, and she has a very good grasp of color mixing.

But dyeing cloth was somewhat different from dyeing bracelets and making rouge before. Li was also afraid that Zhu Bamei might "miss" sometimes, so she specially left a way out.

When everyone heard that it was such a small thing, they didn't care at all: "As long as it's not white cloth."

The reason why white cloth is cheap is that it is white and can only be worn during funerals and for bottoming.

But considering the conditions of their poor families, how can they be willing to buy such a good cloth as a base? They must have picked up some not-so-good clothes, trimmed them, sewed them inside to wear as obscene clothes, and put on a slightly better one outside.

.

As a human being, you always have to save face, and you still have to put on a facade.

Now that it's better, the Zhu family can help dye the cloth. Even if one foot of cloth costs one copper plate, it will definitely be cheaper than buying colored cloth directly. It saves five copper plates per foot. Isn't it a great event?

If the conditions are better, the savings on everyone's clothes can be enough to save a new clothes for the children.

The daughters-in-law who married into Zhujiacun all wanted to let their parents' families take advantage of this. They either asked someone to talk to them, or they went to their parents' families to share the good news.

"real?!"

"Of course it's true, mother, you should quickly think about it and see how much cloth is suitable. With only one adult's clothes, you can save one piece of clothes for the child. This is a good thing that I couldn't even hope for in the past years.

."

After receiving the news, my mother-in-law's family dug into their own money box and counted it over and over again, feeling like they had "earned" something.

At this time, Zhang Yan was sulking in the yard of Mrs. Mei's house.

Ever since the news of her divorce came out, people in the village had been pointing fingers at her, causing her to be looked down upon whenever she went out.

Everyone said that she was stupid for not living a good life, but she wanted to "pawn" her husband's belly behind her husband's back. This time, the egg was beaten, and the chicken flew away, right?

Mrs. Mei cracked a frangipani and brought it out of the kitchen with a flattering look on her face: "Daughter-in-law, come here, I touched an egg today, so I can help you recuperate."

"What's the point of patching up? You can only see an egg in your eyes. Didn't you hear them say that my husband's family can earn several eggs by dyeing cloth once?" Zhang Yan said to her angrily,

"You are the only one who has not vented your anger. Even eating an egg is like picking up silver. You are carrying it as a treasure."

When he was talking, no one paid attention and pushed Mrs. Mei.

"Hey, be careful!" Mrs. Mei stumbled and the bowl in her hand slipped. She was startled and quickly wanted to catch it, but the spilled frangipani itself was liquid, so she couldn't catch it.

?

The frangipani that had just come out of the pot was so hot that her hands turned red on the spot. She was not able to catch much of it, and only got some on her fingers.

"bump--"
