Chapter 271 Expanding Business
Feng Lan glanced at Li Mumu. She didn't think much about it. She just knew that Li Mumu knew medicine. Could it be that there was something wrong with the Li family's daughter-in-law's body?
"If they can't give birth, it's their family's fault. They deserve it. Evil will be punished!"
"It's a pity that the little girl from the Li family has been given away again and again. I heard that she was given to an old bachelor to be raised as a wife!"
Li Mumu had no expression on her face, because when she thought about the heinous things the heroine had done, she really couldn't feel any sympathy for her.
Besides, she didn't do any of this. If standing by and watching is a crime, then I wonder if there are any clean people in this world.
Feng Lan didn't know all this, and she was a kind-hearted person, so Li Mumu didn't blame her.
Feng Lan was also a person who could read people's expressions. Seeing that the Gu family didn't react, she quickly said, "But everyone has their own destiny. This is also because her parents didn't do good things, and she is suffering the consequences. You can't blame others. Who told her parents not to do good deeds?"
Afterwards, Feng Lan changed the subject and talked to Gu Lan about embroidery. She meant that if they were still short of people, there were several women in Qingshui Village who could do it.
Gu Lan's eyes flickered slightly. "Don't rush this matter. We are definitely short of people, but for me, character and dexterity are equally important. Your character is impeccable, so I can trust you, but the others..."
"I understand. The girl is someone who will accomplish great things. It won't hurt to be cautious. I'm just a country woman and I can't tell anything. If you give me a chance, I'll bring them over for you to choose from."
Gu Lan glanced at Li Mumu and said, "There's no rush. If I'm not chosen, it would be a wasted trip. I'll go check it out myself later. We're doing this for the long term, and for everyone's well-being. If one or two people affect everyone else, it would be more trouble than it's worth."
After she said that, Feng Lan understood. After all, without Gu Lan as a matchmaker, even if they finished the embroidery, they wouldn't be able to find a place to sell it, and even if they did, they wouldn't be able to get a good price.
But she really didn't mean any harm.
As soon as Feng Lan left, Gu Lan started to discuss with Gu Yuru, while Li Mumu teased the little guy and listened at the same time.
"Aunt, I haven't done any of these things. Please help me make an idea. I trust the people in our village, but I really don't know what the people in Qingshui Village are like!"
Gu Yuru smiled bitterly, "When it comes to doing business, I'm not as good as you, but I think our family is not short of money now. If you can't make up your mind about something you're not sure of, it's better not to do it."
Gu Lan nodded. It made some sense. She didn't want to cause everyone to lose their current interests.
"Then I will reject Feng Lan when I get back."
"If cousin wants to make it big, then recruit people. It's written in black and white anyway. If they do anything bad, they can just go to the government office."
Gu Lan looked at Li Mumu, "Wouldn't that be inhumane? I'm afraid it would cause panic among the people!"
"You're not the one who did anything wrong, so what are you afraid of?"
Gu Yuru didn't think her daughter was giving random advice. On the contrary, she reflected on herself, wondering if she was being too cautious. "Lan'er, I think Mumu is right. The folks in our village are all reasonable. If you want to expand your business, why not give it a try?"
Gu Lan took a deep breath. "Actually, whether it's Qingshui Village or Ningxi Village, they're all citizens of Dongyao. There's no need to distinguish them so clearly. If they really want to make money, I'm willing to give them a chance."
"Then give it to me!" Li Mumu said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll listen to Mumu." Gu Lan said softly. At this time, the little guy also woke up. As soon as he opened his eyes and saw that it was Li Mumu, he started laughing.
Because in this family, apart from Gu Lan, it is Li Mumu who spends the most time with him. Although he is still young, he can still feel the closeness of his family.
"By the way, Auntie, the Li family is like this...don't be soft-hearted. I just saw you seem moved when you heard about Li Zhaozhao."
Gu Lan was afraid that Gu Yuru would sympathize with the Li family.
Gu Yuru chuckled, "How could that be?"
"They have nothing to do with me anymore."
Gu Lan glanced at Li Mumu, and the two sisters finally felt relieved.
A few days later, Gu Lan asked Feng Lan's two children to go back and tell her that he would first let her choose ten women in the village, then bring them here and let her choose again. She also said that she would only want eight out of the ten women.
Gu Lan looked at Li Mumu in confusion, "Mumu, I clearly said I wanted ten. Why did you ask me to say that?"
Li Mumu blinked and shook the rattle in her hand. "Cousin, you wanted eight, but you chose ten. Everyone was chosen. On the one hand, it shows that Feng Lan has good taste. On the other hand, you wanted ten anyway, no more, no less. But Feng Lan has become different in everyone's eyes. She will do her best to serve you in the future."
"Yeah, girl, how come you even know this?"
Li Mumu blinked and said, "I recently read my grandfather's military book."
"No wonder, your trick is very clever. From now on, Feng Lan will definitely be in charge of Qingshui Village. She is smooth and knows the rules. If we treat her well, she will return the favor."
Sure enough, the next morning, Feng Lan came with ten women from Qingshui Village.
They are all young and you can tell at a glance that they are nimble and skillful.
And knowing that the Gu family had both old and young people, and there were children studying nearby, the women spoke very quietly, and it was obvious that Feng Lan had instructed them to do so.
Everyone was very nervous at first, after all, it was very likely that they were one of the two people who were not selected.
But unexpectedly, all ten people were selected.
Feng Lan was also very happy, "Miss Lan'er, you are such a good person."
Gu Lan smiled and said, "You have good taste. I want all of the people you chose, so I have no choice but to take them all."
"I...my taste...is still better than yours." Feng Lan said happily.
She helped the women in the village make money, and they were all grateful to her.
Of course she was happy.
Without Gu Lan's help, Feng Lan took the initiative to ask them to sign the documents and explained the rules to them, so Gu Lan didn't have to worry about anything. She would also ask for Gu Lan's opinion afterwards and did not put herself above Gu Lan.
Gu Lan felt relieved that someone was looking after him.
"Miss Lan'er, we...we also have a request!"
"You say."
"I...I just want to ask, I...I already work for you, can you let my child come here to study with your mother? I'll pay for it, even if he just listens outside."
The woman looked at Gu Lan tentatively, and the others also looked at her eagerly.
Gu Lan smiled and said, "I can't make the decision on this. I need to discuss it with my mother."
"Okay, okay, it's my duty. We are waiting for the letter. We are not studying in vain. We just want to give our daughter a chance. I heard that they also accept girls here. I think my daughter can also go to school, just like you."
