Chapter 57 Might Makes the Best Choice



"Of course it's true. We can build a stove and use it every year."

As she spoke, Ye Xiaoxiao found a knitted scarf and wrapped herself up tightly.

"Isn't there a stove? You're just messing around."

Li Chenyang was somewhat unwilling, wondering why his wife was always like this and that, unlike other people's wives.

She's restless and, more importantly, I can't control her.

"I'm not discussing this with you. Just go ride your bike and take me there."

You listen to whatever I say, or don't blame me for being rude to you.

Ye Xiaoxiao didn't care what Li Chenyang's opinions were. Might makes right, and whoever has the bigger fist gets to decide.

Li Chenyang had no choice but to push the cart.

Li Yanni pushed the stroller out, and Wang Ailing had already spread the word that the diapers for the Li family's eldest grandson cost only one cent each.

Along the way, several women went up to look when they saw Li Yanni pushing the baby in a stroller.

He even reached out and touched Li Zhonghao's diaper.

"Hey Yanni, where's your sister-in-law? Why are you pushing the baby out like this?"

Li Yanni obediently greeted them and said that her elder brother and sister-in-law had gone to town.

"This must be the diaper."

Li Yanni watched as an auntie took out the old white diaper that her sister-in-law had put inside, which was no longer in use.

I wanted to tell them not to touch it, but I didn't dare, afraid they would take it away.

The woman wasn't trying to take anything; she just wanted to see what this amazing diaper was all about.

"It feels quite soft to the touch, and the inside is also fluffy and soft."

After the woman pulled down the diaper, it looked like a pair of briefs.

"Oh my, it's just a pair of underwear." The women laughed as they said this.

"Alright, stop looking and put it away properly. Otherwise, you'll make Xiaoyanni cry."

Another older grandmother glared at them.

"Alright, alright, stop making a fuss, Yanni. The aunties are just looking, they won't take your things. Go back now."

Seeing that they had put the things back, Li Yanni happily pushed her nephew home.

"I heard it costs one cent per piece. I thought it was just bragging before, but I think one cent is cheap. I've never even seen that thing before, it looks so fancy. I just don't know what it's like to use it."

"Come on, that's for little kids. What, you're in your thirties or forties and you want to use it too?"

"Isn't that logical? It should also work when a woman is menstruating. It just needs to be bigger."

That woman was right; later generations did indeed use adult diapers.

"Mom, Mom, I've brought your grandson back."

Li Yanni pushed her eldest nephew into the house, and her brothers, who were playing with pebbles at the door, immediately came over.

The fifth brother immediately picked up his eldest nephew. The sixth and seventh brothers then started pushing the stroller and playing around with it.

"Slow down, don't break it, or your sister-in-law will beat you up."

The fifth brother happily hugged his eldest nephew, Li Zhonghao. Li Zhonghao was also laughing heartily.

This child is so easy to take care of, he doesn't cry much unless he's hungry.

"Why did I let you bring the child over here?"

Liu Juan heard the children playing happily outside, and when she came out, she saw her eldest grandson smiling at her, which made her happy too. She took the child from her.

“My older brother and sister-in-law went to town and asked us to look after the child. By the way.”

Remembering that her nephew's milk and diapers were still in the car, Li Yanni quickly ran to her sixth brother.

I took the bottle and diapers out of the stroller and handed them to my mother.

"Mom, my sister-in-law said that if Hao Hao is hungry, just scald the milk with boiling water and he can drink it when it's warm. If he poops, just give him a new one."

Li Yanni put all her things on the kang (a heated brick bed) in her mother's room.

"Okay, I know. I wonder what he went to town to buy again. All he does is spend money all day."

Making money is so easy! I wonder how long they can enjoy themselves. What will they do when they run out of money?

Liu Juan kept nagging as she carried Hao Hao outside for a stroll. She was showing off the diapers her grandson was wearing.

After arriving in town with his wife, Li Chenyang found Old Zheng's blacksmith shop.

"Master, he's busy."

"Hmm, young lady, is there something you need?" The blacksmith shop was located on the edge of the town.

When people talk about blacksmiths, they usually just make kitchen knives, sickles, and the like. What surprised Ye Xiaoxiao was that they even had welding equipment.

Because there was a young man welding something right next to him. So building a furnace wouldn't be a difficult task, would it?

"Oh, it's like this, I'd like you to make me an iron stove..."

Ye Xiaoxiao explained to the old craftsman. These days, almost every household uses coal stoves because they're cheap.

"Oh, I know what you want. I've made this for others before, but it's a bit expensive, so most people don't use it."

The experienced craftsman knew exactly what was going on the moment he heard it. He'd been doing this for so many years; how could he not know?

"How much would it cost to make one of these?"

Ye Xiaoxiao had seen similar videos before, but there were all sorts of variations.

I've already sold seven or eight hundred yuan worth. I wonder how much it would cost to order one now given the current prices.

"It depends on you. If it's made to order, it will cost at least 150 yuan."

If you provide the materials, we'll only charge you for labor; I'll give you 30.

After all, making this thing is quite laborious.

The experienced craftsman wasn't actually keen on doing it; he figured a coal stove was enough, so why spend the money on this?
