Chapter 158
It was only half an hour after they came out of Luji Hutong. After seeing that it was still early, Li Qingyou asked Shen Xiaohu to drive the carriage to Zhao's house.
She will be very busy during the next period of time and will not be able to take care of her family at all. She is not worried about leaving her brother alone at home. Someone needs to help take care of him. Xiaoshan Niang is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.
Of course, Li Qingyou won't let others help in vain. They won't take the money, so after the ranch is built, they will arrange errands for the mother and son there. With a fixed income, they will not have to go hungry. Suddenly.
Li Qingyou originally thought it was just a matter of one sentence, but who knew that after she finished speaking, Xiaoshan Niang frowned tightly and remained silent for a long time.
"Aunt?" Li Qingyou looked over suspiciously. It would be a bit troublesome if Xiaoshan Niang was unwilling to help. There were quite a few neighbors in front of her, but there were none that she could really trust.
Xiaoshan Niang came back to her senses, took Li Qingyou's hand and let out a long sigh, "Girl, don't be picky if I say something that goes too far."
Li Qingyou nodded hurriedly, "Don't be picky, you say."
"It's better for this girl to get married early. Business is no joke. Haven't you heard that there is no business without treachery? Those people all have eight minds, and they are all like monkeys." You are fine, I am afraid that you will suffer a loss." Xiaoshan Niang said earnestly.
"Listen to my aunt's advice. You will be fourteen after the Chinese New Year. My aunt will also help you find out. If you find a good family, then marry her."
Li Qingyou, "..."
This is talking about starting a ranch, how come you are getting married?
"Auntie, I'm not kidding, I..." Li Qingyou was interrupted by Xiaoshan Niang before she could finish her words.
"Auntie knows your difficulties, don't worry, this matter will be taken care of by auntie."
When Li Qingyou came out of Zhao's house with a sigh, it was already dark. As soon as she left, Zhao Xiaoshan went home.
"Xiaoshan, mother, let me tell you something." Xiaoshan's mother pulled her son into the room, "How are you looking at Qingyou?"
She has been thinking about this for a long time. She doesn't care about Li Qingyou's reputation. After being in contact with him for such a long time, she knows that Li Qingyou is not like what others say.
As for talking about killing parents, there is no trace of it.
If you can become your own daughter-in-law, then the two families will merge into one family, and they will be able to take care of each other.
It's just that her son must be happy with this matter. After all, it is a lifetime event, so she didn't tell Li Qingyou beforehand, thinking to wait for her son to come back to find out more about it first.
Zhao Xiaoshan took the teapot and poured himself a bowl of herbal tea. He drank it and wiped his mouth, "What else is there to say? Why did you think of asking this?"
When he turned around, he saw something was wrong with his mother's usual smile. Suddenly he understood what his mother meant, and his face turned red immediately, "Mom, what are you talking about? It's just that our family's conditions are... …”
After all, they still have a tofu shop. In their family, mother and son depend on each other for life. He is a half-baked carpenter who has never finished his meal. How can he have the nerve to talk about marrying someone else?
Xiaoshan Niang also sighed, "Our family's life is a bit hard, but Qingyou's reputation... Besides, there is a younger brother who is also afraid of being angry at other people's homes. At least we can't make them angry in our family, right? Besides, aren’t these days lived by humans..."
"Don't worry about this. Work hard in the Zhang family. It's best to save more money in the first year." Xiaoshan Niang muttered, "Tomorrow I will ask sister-in-law Liu next door to find out who has clothes that need to be washed and mended. Yes, I can supplement some household income, and then take the time to go to the street to buy some thread and go home to make a network and sell it..."
Zhao Xiaoshan felt bad after hearing this. His mother had been burdened all these years to support him, and now she had to worry about him getting a wife. He really couldn't bear it.
"Mom, I don't need you to work. You can just stay at home. I can make money."
"It's okay. It's a warm day now, and it won't freeze your hands when washing clothes. I won't take up the laundry job in the winter." Xiaoshan Niang patted her son on the shoulder, "As long as you can be well, mom, everything will be fine."
When Li Qingyou got home, Adi had already come back. When he saw her coming in from outside, he ran out quickly, "Did you go to see Mr. Shen? Why did you come back?"
If he didn't know where she went, he would have gone out to look for her.
Li Qingyou raised her hand to rub the tangled hair on his head, and lifted the meat buns she was carrying in her other hand forward, "Let's just eat the buns tonight and make some soup." "
I bought steamed buns when I passed by a steamed bun shop on my way back, so I made a simple egg drop soup. After a while, the siblings were sitting at the table having dinner.
Adi didn't know anything about Li Qingyou's past, nor did he know that she had worked as a maid in the Shen family, so he had no objection to the Shen family, but he didn't like Manager Cao.
"Why did you agree to let him stay? Why don't you tell the Shen family to let them find someone else?" Adi took a bite of the bun and said vaguely.
Manager Cao is stingy and hypocritical, and he always tries to get his employer's money into his own pocket in various ways. How can you trust such a person?
"There is no need to change people." Li Qingyou said: "If you ask for something, you will be afraid. Being greedy for petty gains is his leverage. If a new person comes and we are not familiar with him, we will definitely encounter other problems, and it will be a waste of money. It’s better to cook it well.”
Adi is very smart and knows everything. He nodded when he heard this and said, "I understand. Such people are easier to control."
"That's right." Li Qingyou tapped the tip of his straight nose, "Furthermore, Manager Cao is a smooth man, and he can handle many things very well. When looking at a person, you should not only look at his shortcomings, but also his strengths. As long as Just master the speed. It's like a sharp blade. It can hurt others as well as yourself. It mainly depends on how you control it."
After dinner, Adi put away the dishes and washed them. Li Qingyou went to the east room. She had to perfect the sketch from last night. On the way back, she remembered that she should add a few things to the plan. content.
She won't show the plan to others, but she has to know it herself.
After washing the dishes, Adi ran to the door of the east room, knocked on the door frame twice, and when he heard Li Qingyou say "Come in," he ran over immediately.
Li Qingyou is revising the sketch. Unlike the previous drawing of "Record of Actions", there is nothing to avoid in this one, so he doesn't mind his brother reading it.
"Where will this be built?" Adi pointed to the sketch. Although the dimensions were not marked on it, it looked like it would not be too small. It would be impossible to build such a ranch in the county town.
Li Qingyou took a deep breath, "This needs to be done carefully. It can't be too far from our county, nor too close. The terrain must be open, preferably a hillside and a place with abundant water and grass."
