Chapter 138 Hiring someone to cause trouble
The entire life trajectory seems to be unable to avoid the insurmountable barrier of relying on the protection of others for survival.
Regardless of whether an individual is willing to submit to such an arrangement, the most practical choice before having the ability to change one's destiny is still to hope that the brothers Shu Yanyou and Shu Yixian can rise step by step and stay in their high positions.
Only in this way can the living conditions and circumstances of these weak women be improved. After all, it is always better to have a strong man standing in front to protect them from wind and rain than to fight alone.
Therefore, Zhao Chunhua always holds on to beautiful expectations and infinite longings for their future, because she knows that only when their future is bright and brilliant, her own days can become more peaceful and harmonious!
Therefore, she felt that she had to be better to her two "tool" sons. After all, they were the only people she could rely on in this world.
So after the rain stopped, Shu Ziying came back to help take care of the children. Her arrival gave Zhao Chunhua some rare breathing time.
Zhao Chunhua once again boarded the ox cart and went to the town to make necessary preparations for the coming cold winter.
She knew how to make clothes, but had never made cotton-padded clothes, a kind of warm clothing that required professional skills and materials.
There were a lot of clothes to be made this time. In order to save time and energy, Zhao Chunhua took the easy way out and directly found someone in the town who could take clothing orders.
This is much more cost-effective than buying directly from a clothing store. Not only is the price more suitable, but you can also customize it according to your needs.
After some bargaining, the two parties agreed to pick up the goods in half a month, and Zhao Chunhua paid half of the deposit to the other party in advance as a deposit.
This arrangement made her feel a lot more at ease, at least she didn't have to worry about clothing making during this period.
This time, Zhao Chunhua only brought a dozen hairpin design drawings to the town, hoping to find a suitable merchant to cooperate with.
The shopkeeper personally looked at them and selected eleven.
Not complicated, yet very practical.
Those complicated patterns usually cost more, and the shopkeeper did not have the ability to make decisions like Zhao Wenxing, so he finally chose some relatively simple styles for production and sale.
Despite this, Zhao Chunhua felt that being able to earn eleven taels of silver in this way was good enough.
You have to know that in that era, earning so much money in less than a month was definitely considered a high-income earner.
For a mother raising children alone, this income is particularly important, allowing her and her children to live a slightly more comfortable life.
Zhao Chunhua, who was in a good mood, then bought some cooked meat and went home to improve her diet.
The clothes have been ordered, and now she can concentrate on making accessories, while also not forgetting to celebrate her good luck today.
Although you need to save some money for the future, you can't treat yourself badly now.
If we can’t even live well now, who can hope for the future?
It is right to take care of the present first.
Although life is hard, you should also give yourself some appropriate rewards.
Finally, Zhao Chunhua went to the bookstore and handed in two volumes of manuscripts to her younger brother Zhao Yunbai, hoping to help him complete his academic tasks as soon as possible.
This is also an investment, and she believes that it will pay off one day.
Even though she no longer made money by copying books, Zhao Chunhua still persisted in this work.
Every month she would carefully select one or two books and meticulously copy every page.
For her, maintaining the feel of her hand is very important. If she does not write for a long time, her handwriting will naturally deteriorate.
More importantly, Zhao Chunhua has always dreamed of one day being able to use this skill to demonstrate it in front of everyone and win respect for herself.
"You look so happy, it seems you made a small profit again?"
After checking the handwriting in each book, Zhao Yunbai found that the sister opposite him had a smile on her face, and he knew that this time he must have made some great gains and she must be very happy.
Zhao Chunhua nodded and replied with a smile on her face: "Although it's not as much as last time, it's still a good income. As for the specific amount, I won't tell you, so as not to arouse your envy."
When she said this, Zhao Chunhua picked up the bun she had just bought on the table and took a bite. The delicious juice and rich meat filling bloomed on the tip of her tongue, making her feel very satisfied.
"This tastes really good. I'll have to buy some more when I go back and put them in the refrigerator to enjoy slowly."
"Okay, forget it if you say I'm jealous."
Zhao Yunbai's tone was slightly unhappy, and he felt that Zhao Chunhua was teasing him on purpose to amuse him, "But you're going too far!"
"I didn't intend to tell you, but since you said so, I have to take a small revenge..."
Changing the subject, Zhao Yunbai pointed to a portrait on the table. Seeing that his work had successfully attracted Zhao Chunhua's attention, he instantly felt a sense of accomplishment.
"Third daughter-in-law...oh no, your original wife has married someone else."
This was the news he accidentally learned on his way to a nearby village to buy grain.
"Well, that's it..."
Zhao Chunhua responded indifferently, and didn't seem to be very interested in it.
In fact, Zhao Chunhua almost forgot about the incident with Li Cuihua.
Ever since she mentioned the idea of selling the stone, the bond between them was completely broken.
Zhao Chunhua had already made up her mind never to associate with such people again.
Although she did not take any proactive measures to punish the other party, she felt that being so tolerant was her limit.
They are not really at their wits' end and have resorted to this desperate measure, but they probably behave like this because of some unspeakable reasons.
Fortunately, the couple was able to read people's expressions and disappeared without a trace after taking away some valuable items in the house. Otherwise, with Zhao Chunhua's personality, she would have tried to make it difficult for them to live a peaceful life.
She even thought of a specific plan, including hiring a few thugs to cause trouble at the Li family.
She thought that there was no need to resort to violence, she just needed to make their lives less peaceful, create some small troubles from time to time, and that would make them uneasy.
"Are you really not angry at all?"
Zhao Yunbai looked at Zhao Chunhua's calm reaction and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
In fact, he would not be satisfied if Zhao Chunhua showed anger or frustration; but the calmness in front of him also made him feel uneasy, which was really puzzling.
"Angry? That kind of woman is not worth my anger at all."
Zhao Chunhua recalled that she had generously allowed Li Cuihua to move out her dowry, and those items that were not pre-marital property were also taken away.
Li Cuihua's face looked very happy at that time, but she didn't take it to heart.
Ever since Li Cuihua remarried, her relationship with the Shu family was completely severed.
From now on, no matter how Li Cuihua's life was, even if she wanted to take the opportunity to contact Xiao Shitou, the Shu family had the right to refuse, because there was no longer any obligation for the ex-mother-in-law.
