Well, it looks like this afternoon will be delayed.
Li Yu came out from the house. "Why are you here, sister-in-law? Is there something wrong?" she asked as she walked.
Mrs. Zhong seemed to be in a good mood, with a smile on her face, and she kept saying, "What's the matter? Come and talk to me."
Li Yu, of course, didn't believe her and invited her into the house. He said directly, "If you have anything to say, just say it directly. We've been sisters-in-law for over twenty years, and we know each other well. Would you come if there was nothing wrong?"
Mrs. Zhong said a little embarrassedly, "It's because of those delicious chive pancakes you asked Meimei to bring over at noon. Mom and Dad were very worried and asked if you needed any help. Everyone is worried about you because of this sudden incident."
Li Yu realized that the original owner didn't interact much with the old house, so it was really hard to understand why he suddenly started moving around there.
She didn't hide anything and said to Mrs. Zhong, "We're planning to start a small business. We're going to sell the same cakes we made today in town. I learned how to make them back in the Marquis' Mansion, and I recently saw some leftover leeks, so I thought of this. Let's make some and let everyone taste them to see if we can make a business out of it."
Zhong understood what Li Yu said. She said nothing more, just saying that the chive dumplings were really delicious and that the whole family loved them.
Li Yu was also in a good mood. She knew that leek dumplings were delicious, but she couldn't help but say happily, "It seems this business can still be done. Alas, I have no choice. How much can the land produce? The third child's health cannot be delayed. It is probably caused by not eating well."
Mrs. Zhong also understood Li Yu's feelings. It was all because of poverty, and whoever's child it was would feel sorry for him.
Seeing that Li Yu was fine, Zhong went home. She still had to talk to her parents-in-law.
When he got home, he told the old lady about his idea. Of course, the old lady and the old man would not object.
But he said to Uncle Zhong again, "You are a bunch of orphans and widows. Don't let those jealous people bully you when you earn a little money. You should talk to Hai Ge'er more often and keep an eye on him."
Uncle Zhong agreed.
Early the next morning, when Li Yu got up, Lin Hai and Lin Jiang had already set off.
After breakfast, she planned to go up the mountain with Lin He and Lin Mei, brother and sister, to pick wood ear mushrooms and small mushrooms in preparation for setting up a stall tomorrow.
When Li Yu got home at noon, she saw a group of people gathered at the gate, chattering non-stop. When she got closer, she found that it was Lin Hai and his friends who had returned. They had bought an ox cart and all the villagers were watching.
Seeing Li Yu come back, they surrounded him and asked in a flurry, "Li Yu, has your family become rich? Why did you suddenly buy an ox cart?"
"Widow Li is a very secretive person. Look at this cart, this flour. Oh my! How much does this cost? Li Yu, your family now has an ox cart. From now on, everyone can borrow your cart when they go to town. Don't be so stingy like some people. We are all neighbors."
This sharp voice successfully caught Li Yu's attention. She turned her head and stared at the person. After searching through the original owner's memories, she realized that this person was the original owner's mortal enemy, Wang Xiuying. To be honest, Wang was once considered a beauty in the village.
When she reached marriageable age, she fell in love with Lam Chi Chung, but unfortunately, he was snatched away by Li Yu. Later, she married the second son of the village chief. Yang Lao Er was an honest man, so everyone in the family listened to Wang. In addition, Lam Chi Chung was short-lived, so Wang became very proud and felt that she was lucky not to marry Lam Chi Chung.
Moreover, the original owner's life was getting worse and worse. She was also very proud and didn't bother to argue with Wang. As a result, Wang would mock and ridicule the original owner every time she saw her, but the original owner ignored her.
Wang Xiuying originally thought that Li Yu would not fight back this time as he did before, but the current Li Yu is not the same Li Yu as before, so how could he tolerate this?
She said in a flat voice, "Oh, isn't this Sister Wang? I heard your eldest son works as a waiter in a restaurant in town. He should get quite a bit of salary every month. Next time if you're too tired to go to town and can't come back, ask Sister Wang's eldest son to pay a penny for a ride on the ox cart. We're all neighbors, so Sister Wang shouldn't be as stingy as me, right?"
Li Yu saw that Wang's face had turned green with anger, so he said, "You wish," and slipped away from the crowd.
Li Yu didn't hide anything and told everyone that he was planning to start a small business. He borrowed the capital from his sister-in-law.
When the onlookers saw that there was nothing exciting to watch, they all left.
I forgot to mention earlier that most people in Yangshulin Village have the surname Yang or Lin.
