——Mom, just tell people how much money you got, okay?

——Do you think the next time someone is short of money, will they want to borrow it from your family? If you don’t borrow it, they won’t be able to scold you to death.

After greeting the workers, Mrs. Li had a smile on her face and continued following the topic that Mrs. Liu had just talked about.

But compared to Liu's statement, her statement was more technical. She said that everyone in the village was going to make a fortune this time. When harvesting sweet potatoes, how much does a pound of wet sweet potatoes cost, and how much does a pound of dried sweet potatoes cost?

, how much does it cost to grind sweet potatoes into flour? In addition, after the hot flour factory is built, the women in their family will come to help, and they can earn wages...

Do some calculations and help them figure out how much money each family can make.

After finishing the calculation, I complained about my family again, saying that my family is, to put it nicely, the "contractor leader", and to put it badly, they are just earning "hard-earned money".

Sometimes, I don’t want to do it anymore, for fear of “losing” myself to death.

"Why are you losing money? Just now your second sister-in-law said that you shared a lot of money with each room..." Some people didn't believe it and pointed it out with a smile.

Li said with a dumbfounded expression: "How many percent did my second sister-in-law say? It has to be just a few percent. Think about it, how many sons did my mother-in-law give birth to? Seven, plus Zhu Bamei,

Then it’s eight, plus those who pay filial piety to the elders, and those who are divided among the public. With so many people sharing, isn’t it just ‘one house, one ten cent’?”

Tell them the origin of "how many percent" and turn various conjectures into simple and clear explanations - if your family wants to divide it in the future, you can divide it this way. This is how our family divides it.

Then, he said that although his family was responsible for harvesting sweet potatoes, it was the big men who were responsible for selling them, and whatever they earned was theirs. They just got some "hard-earned money" when they helped.

In fact, like everyone else, they shared the money they earned from selling sweet potatoes, plus the "hard-earned money" given by the big boss.

"It would be a lie to say that our family does not earn as much as everyone else. Our family also makes food, raises pigs and rabbits, which your family does not have..." Mrs. Li laughed and said, "

We have made an extra fortune from this. If we didn't have this advantage, we would be running back and forth to work, which is to say, we are working in vain. But my mother said that we are from the same village, so we should help each other.

, now that our family has found a way to make money, we must lead the people in the village to live a good life together, otherwise we would not have led the people in the village to grow rice, sweet potatoes, and take over the work of baking rice...

"

Speaking of the latter, I don’t forget to remind everyone that the sweet potato money, wages, labor savings and paddy field cultivation methods that everyone can earn now are all the “contribution” of the Zhu family, because their mother-in-law wanted to bring the villagers along with them.

I only took everyone with me on a good day.

If the Zhu family are selfish people, why tell them?

Just "hire" them to grow sweet potatoes and distribute some sweet potatoes to each of their households every year. Wouldn't it be just a waste of money?

"But is my mother-in-law that kind of person? Is our family that kind of person? Our family is not a businessman. Our family is a scholar. It is a 'farming and reading family'. Even the clan leader has personally made a rule and does not allow the children of the clan to engage in business.

, who would be stupid enough to do such a thing at the risk of displeasing the clan leader." Li kept emphasizing that families with "Farming, Reading and Heirloom" are scholars. Since they are scholars, they will definitely not be able to engage in business or participate in the imperial examination.

Their brother-in-law and two nephews are both scholars. They can't harm the future of their brother-in-law and two nephews just for that little money, right?

It was also because of this that her mother-in-law reminded the clan leader and the whole village not to go into business just for the sake of immediate profit, which would prevent three generations of descendants from taking the imperial examination and delay the future of future generations.

It’s not like everyone is so poor that they can’t fill their stomachs, but are about to starve to death.

While thinking of ways to help everyone fill their stomachs, eat better, and live better; at the same time, they quickly held an enlightenment class to give everyone "the hope of studying" and strive to raise a "scholar" like their Zhu family, and raise

A descendant of meritorious service.

"The monument to scholars at the entrance of our village is erected there. It is not to stimulate everyone, but to tell everyone that since our family can do it, your family can do it too. You have to work hard! My mother has personally gone out to help you train your children. You

We also need to fight hard and supervise them more when we go back!"

"Hehehe... Don't believe it. My three treasures and four treasures are all in the enlightenment class. How can my mother make the children useless? Just wait and see, the real trick is coming later."

"Look at how wonderful life is now. The land is in good order. The patriarch takes the lead in watching over it and leads everyone to plant it together. My mother helps to keep an eye on the children and educates them together. To put it shamelessly,

Several daughters-in-law from my Zhu family are helping to keep an eye on my daughter’s family’s rouge money, and I’ll take the women in your family to earn it together. As long as everyone works hard in one direction, how can things be different in the future?”

…

Mrs. Li's words made her lips dry and her mouth dry. She was afraid that everyone would still remember Mrs. Liu's words and find out how much money the Zhu family made.

She racked her brains and changed the words her mother-in-law used to "educate" them and "educate" others into her own words. She changed them all and said them over and over again, just to let them understand - don't make bad plans for the Zhu family.

As long as you follow the Zhu family closely, you will have meat to eat.

On the other side, Mrs. Liu didn't know this. She was anxious and wanted to see the child.

When she returned home, she found that Lu Daya was playing with Wubao, and the two of them were having a good time.

"Ah, are you coaxed?" Madam Liu breathed a sigh of relief, "I was scared to death. I thought something was wrong with Wubao. A person who is usually so good, why was he crying so hard..."

Lu Daya was confused: "Second Aunt, what are you talking about? Wubao has never cried."

"Ah? But your fourth aunt just told me that Wubao was crying very hard and asked me to come back..."

Lu Daya didn't know why Mrs. Li said this. Anyway, she was sure that she had been with Wubao all the time, and Wubao had indeed never cried.

She also said that if she didn't believe it, she could ask the fourth aunt. The fifth aunt was always at home. If Wubao cried, the fifth aunt would definitely know. She promised that she really took good care of Wubao and was not lazy.

This is the case for "foster" children. They are afraid that if they make a mistake, they will be punished.

Although the Zhu family did not beat or scold them after they adopted them, and they were taught by their two aunts Lin Sanmei and Lin Simei, the experience they had in the Lu family became a lifelong shadow for them.

Ms. Liu didn't pay attention. It was normal for children to cry. Even if she took care of Wubao herself, she couldn't avoid Wubao crying.

However, Wubao is really well-behaved. He eats and drinks well and rarely cries.

She was more concerned about why Mr. Li would "lie" to her?

Could it be that Mrs. Li was afraid that he would steal her opportunity to shine?

Frowning and feeling a little unhappy, he went out to talk to Mrs. Lin.

It happened that Mrs. Lin also wanted to gossip about her sister-in-law, so the two of them sat under the eaves and talked about their own things, and they were quite happy.

Tang’s mother came back from a round of work: “…”

——These daughters-in-law of the old lady are really interesting. Fortunately, the old lady can hold them down, otherwise she would have cried to death if she met someone who had no means.

——Either you are stupid as hell, or your brain is so flexible that it gives you a headache.
