Chapter 102: Fight for the private money!
"You always say you have nothing to do, leaving you with no place to use your energy. You can only watch me make money, and then I get angry with you when I get home.
"Now this opportunity has arrived. My step-grandfather's wife is a smart woman. She has found a good way to make money and is willing to help you make money. This is your good fortune and also a blessing for our clan."
“Although I don’t know how much I can earn right now, I will tell all the men in your family that the money you earn belongs to you and they can’t steal it, and neither can your family.
"So, do you want to buy yourself a new dress, or give some money to your parents so that you don't have to worry about your family's mood.
"The best ones are the young girls. Whether you can prepare a good dowry for yourself and support yourself in your husband's family depends on you!"
The old and young women thought that the clan leader was afraid that they would not work well and wanted to give them some instructions, but they never expected that the clan leader would make such a thorough decision for them!
This is such a big surprise!
You have to know that the money in the family is controlled by the head of the household, and they work their ass off but don't see a penny.
Who wouldn’t be happy if they could really save some money for themselves?
The women's eyes were red. They wanted to ask but were afraid that their dreams would be shattered.
In the end, it was Grandma Tai San who spoke first, shouting, "Old man, you must keep your word! I'm going to buy snacks for myself with the money I earn this time, and I won't share a single bite with you!"
"If you don't want to share, then don't share!" Master Tai raised his chin, arrogant like a child, "I'm not greedy for your food!"
Everyone was amused by the old couple, but they felt more at ease in their hearts.
But when Mr. Tai San opened his mouth again, he got to the point with a cold face.
"This method of weaving a cushion with cashmere yarn was invented by my step-grandfather's wife. It was her intention to help you make money. If you have any conscience, you must remember that once you have learned this method, you must never teach it to anyone else!
"This includes your natal family or your in-laws after you get married. Otherwise, I will expel your entire family from Taijia Village and remove your names from the family tree. I will make your entire family refugees, and even if you die, you will be wandering ghosts without a burial place!
"Of course, if you feel you can't do it, just quit immediately and no one will say anything. If you stay, let my stepfather's wife write the contract and put her handprints on it!"
The old and young women were a little confused. The weaving method was special and they needed to keep it secret. This was as it should be, and everyone expected it.
But if it gets leaked, my family will be displaced as well, which is too serious!
It’s okay for older women. At most, they just have to stay away from their parents’ home and be on guard against their parents’ jealousy and schemes.
But the young girls are worried. When they get married and rely on their husband's family for livelihood, what should they do if their husband's family forces them to learn needlework?
At this time, Yang Lihua spoke at the right time.
"Uncle San, this isn't that serious. No matter how good your acupuncture techniques are, they won't stop others from taking the trouble to perfect them. Who knows, in a few years, someone else might figure it out and steal your business.
"Let me make a two-year agreement with you, my aunts and sisters. For two years, do not teach acupuncture techniques to any outsiders. If you violate this rule, you will be punished as Uncle San ordered. After all, we are all from the same clan. If you disrupt the prosperity of your clan, you are a traitor and must be expelled.
"But after two years, if someone wants to learn needlework from us, and sincerely asks for instruction and is polite, then we can teach them. Is this an agreement, everyone?"
Two years?
It's just planting crops twice, the time is very short, and maybe the money for the young girls' dowries has not been earned enough yet.
It was all over in the blink of an eye, so I wasn't worried about not being able to keep the secret.
The old woman and the young woman were relieved and their expressions were not so nervous anymore.
Yang Lihua continued, "The needlework is very simple and you can learn it in no time. Even those who are not good at sewing can easily learn it. I can't guarantee that my aunts and sisters will get rich, but it's easy to make a dozen coins a day."
Sure enough, smiles appeared on everyone's faces again!
"Okay, step-grandmother, I'll follow you! I'm uneducated, clumsy, and stupid, so please bear with me!" Grandma Tai San was the first to respond, saying half-jokingly and half-seriously, "I'm counting on you to make my aunt's coffin in the future!"
Everyone laughed and responded.
"Sister-in-law, if you don't mind me being stupid, then count me as one!"
"And me, and me!"
The most enthusiastic was Tiedan's mother. She said directly, "My two daughters are shy and didn't come with us. My eldest sister-in-law taught me first, and I will go back and teach the two girls! I will definitely see that they work hard and earn a dowry for themselves, so that they can marry decently in a few years!"
The eyes of the other families who had daughters also lit up as they listened, and they nodded.
In this way, the matter is settled.
Yang Lihua took out the contract that had been written long ago and asked everyone to put their fingerprints on it.
Uncle Tai Sanye specially asked someone to call a few old brothers from the village and asked them to press their fingerprints as a witness.
By now, all the men in each family knew everything clearly. They wanted to ask their wives, but Master Tai San grabbed their ears and kept nagging them.
"I'm telling you, I've already made the decision. All the money earned by the women in each family belongs to them. You can't ask for it. If anyone dares to hit me in the face, I'll make him taste the taste of the pipe!"
Some smart guys don't take it seriously at all.
Because the daughter-in-law is his own, the money she earns is also to add to his family's wealth. Even if the daughter-in-law buys new clothes, it is for him to look comfortable. When she buys food for the child, it is also for the child to grow fat.
