Chapter 157: The problem is solved
The purses that Xia Daohua gave to the doctor and the midwife were not embroidered by herself, but were made by Jiang.
Since Jiang became pregnant, Xia Youtian and the children had been responsible for almost all the housework. Jiang was a person who could not sit still, so she did a lot of embroidery work when she had some free time.
She made a lot of small items such as silk handkerchiefs, purses, fan covers, insoles, shoe uppers, and table screens.
Xia Youtian has been very busy lately and has no time to sell embroidery, so Xia Daohua took on this task.
She sent part of them to the embroidery workshop in the town and got the market price. She then secretly sent most of the embroidery to the space supermarket and exchanged them for supermarket coins.
Jiang's craftsmanship was good, and the supermarket gave her a better price than the embroidery workshop. Xia Daohua bought some pickles in bulk from the supermarket, and used Jiang's embroidery to offset the price, which turned out to be a profit.
Xia Daohua went to the embroidery workshop twice and sold Jiang's works to the Space Supermarket twice.
Later, he simply kept most of the purses made by Jiang, put copper coins of varying amounts, small silver bills, and temporarily placed them in the storage area of the space supermarket for use.
Although she doesn't need to use these preparations very often at the moment, they will come in handy sooner or later.
As for other embroidery products, they were simply sold to Space Supermarket.
After all, the Space Supermarket is very generous in paying, and the price is twice as high as that of the embroidery workshop.
Ever since Goro started attending the village school, there have been two more people in the family who get up early before dawn and before the roosters crow.
One is Goro.
Every morning he would go out under the stars, full of energy, carrying a small school box on his back, and walk about ten miles along the mountain road to go to the village school in the neighboring village to study.
Another one is pear blossom.
As the eldest sister, she gets up every morning to prepare breakfast for the whole family.
Xia Daohua felt that this was too tiring, so she bought some steamed buns from the Space Supermarket, but was scolded by Lihua:
"I know you can make money, but no matter how much you make, you can't spend it like this!
Just this small steamed bun can be exchanged for three such big Sanhe noodle dumplings!
The steamed bread made of three-grain flour that we eat now is already very good, and it fills us up every time we eat it. Why do we have to eat such fine white flour?"
Xia Daohua was scolded by Lihua and was initially a little unhappy.
Isn’t the purpose of making money to spend it?
However, seeing Lihua's distressed expression, and thinking about how before he traveled through time, Lihua might have always lived a life of eating dry food during the busy farming season and liquid food during the slack farming season, he could somewhat understand her feelings and did not say anything.
Seeing that Xia Daohua was listening obediently, Lihua also slowed down her tone:
"I know you are capable, but even if we become rich overnight, we can't be arrogant and forget our roots."
Seeing that Lihua was about to start a long speech, Xia Daohua nodded repeatedly, acting like an extremely well-behaved and obedient person. She also secretly reminded Lihua to take care of Wulang who had not yet had breakfast. Finally, Lihua remembered her business and stopped poisoning her ears.
Xia Daohua complained secretly, since Sister Lihua you are so frugal, don’t blame me for not inviting you next time when we eat something delicious!
After all, if he could be scolded for eating a steamed bun, then I would be eating all kinds of delicacies every day, whatever I want. What would happen if Lihua saw it?
So in the following days, Xia Daohua happily ate secretly every day, hiding from Lihua, so that she could smell some of the scent.
Lihua wrinkled her nose several times in confusion: "What smells so good?" But she couldn't catch anything, so she just thought that the neighbor had made something delicious and the smell came with the wind.
Xia Daohua held her belly and laughed until she was out of breath. Linghua found out and secretly formed an alliance with Xia Daohua and also had a full belly.
This went on for seven or eight days before the summer rice flowers stopped their childish behavior and stopped teasing the pear flowers.
In fact, Lihua’s suggestion is not wrong.
As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
For a rising family, maintaining a consistent frugal lifestyle is a good thing and a correct strategy.
However, Xia Daohua has an endless space supermarket, and the goods in it will be refreshed every 24 hours. For Xia Daohua, it is too difficult to let her guard a treasure mountain and eat bran and vegetables.
Of course, Xia Daohua is not against frugality.
However, for her, thriftiness only means not wasting, not "not eating and not using" or "using the bad when there is a good one".
But Xia Daohua and Lihua have different ideas, and Xia Daohua has no intention of convincing her.
Actually, the family is rich now. Lihua and the others are just not used to it yet.
As long as Lihua gradually realizes this, her living standards in terms of food, clothing and daily necessities will naturally improve slowly.
However, when it comes to spending money, it's easy to spend too much without realizing it.
Xia Daohua had made up her mind. She would set up several account books and let Lihua, Wulang and Linghua each be in charge of one.
This will not only help cultivate their awareness of saving, but also make them feel more involved and a sense of ownership in family life. It can also be an opportunity to instill in them some financial management skills and experience.
Even if the family's life gets better and better in the future, and even achieves a class transition, I believe that through this deliberate training, Lihua and the others will not grow up to be playboys who spend money lavishly.
If Xia Daohua knew about Dafang's situation at this time, she would have a deeper understanding of "It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality."
These days, the eldest wife is having a hard time.
In order to treat Xia Youcai, he had to go to Pujitang for acupuncture every three days.
Although the person who performed the treatment was Wang Imperial Physician's apprentice, Xia Youcai was considered Wang Imperial Physician's patient, so the standard of payment was the highest in Pujitang.
Moreover, the medicines used are good and expensive.
Ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, Tianshan Snow Lotus, whatever is expensive is used.
Xia Youcai valued his life very much, and he was willing to use the medicine prescribed by Pujitang on himself no matter how expensive it was.
All the money in the house flowed out like water.
Xia Youcai's family got used to being served. They didn't care about anything and were reluctant to even help if the oil bottle fell over.
All the housework fell on Zhu, the daughter-in-law with the lowest status.
Zhu was alone, having to take care of the infant A-Liu and do the housework. She was so busy that she often ended up with more problems than she could handle.
The food I cook is either too salty, too bland, or too mushy, or there is too much oil and not enough vinegar... In short, there are all kinds of problems.
Zhu was busy, tired, and heartbroken. She saw her plump, fair, and plump young wife becoming thinner and more haggard day by day.
