Chapter 103: Preaching
Li Yiqin gathered the knotted threads and placed them in front of Zhang Juexia. "Originally, we felt embarrassed to bother you all the time. We were thinking of selling them when we happened to go to town one day.
After hearing what you said today, I'd like to trouble you to help us sell these things when you go to town."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? I just came back from town yesterday."
"It's not too late now!"
Ye Suyun poured a glass of water for Zhang Juexia and handed it to her, "Sister-in-law, drink some water."
"Thanks!"
Li Yiqin then remembered to ask Zhang Juexia, "How come you, such a busy man, have time to come to the old house today? Tell me, do you have something to talk to us about?"
"Sister-in-law is really good at predicting things. I need to ask you for something, and it's the same job I did last time. I need your help again."
Li Yiqin stood up without saying anything, pulled Ye Suyun and Zhang Juexia out, and said, "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. This is a money-making business, why are you so polite to us?"
"That's right, sister-in-law, you are not only polite but also nagging."
"How am I being nagging? I haven't even said hello to my grandparents yet, and you guys pulled me out."
"Grandpa and grandma are not outsiders, they won't be angry with you."
After watching the three people walk away, Pang Xiujuan angrily threw the wooden basin to the ground. "You ungrateful person! How could my son be so blind as to marry someone like you?"
Wang Guilan, who had just returned home, happened to hear these words, "What are you talking about, Third Wife? Why do I feel like you are talking about me?
It’s not my son who is blind! "
Pang Xiujuan didn't dare to say anything more and buried her head in washing clothes.
Wang Guilan stood behind her and looked at her for almost half an incense stick of time before turning around and going into the house.
As soon as she entered the house, she complained to Ye Jishun, "This third daughter-in-law really deserves a beating. Xia'er is not the type to bend over backwards. I think she is the one."
"Don't bother with her. We won't be living under the same roof next year.
Besides, as long as the next generation of children are united and work together.
Our Ye family’s life will not be bad either.”
Wang Guilan thought for a moment and said, "No, I have to go to Bei Xiu's house to help Xia'er."
"Don't accept the wages your child is offering you!"
"I'm not stupid. It's not easy for children to do things. Let's help them if we can."
When Wang Guilan arrived, Zhang Juexia and the others had already started working.
Although Ye Beixiu didn't like to do it, he made a lot of canned food this time, so he also joined the army of removing the cores of hawthorns.
"Grandma, why are you here?"
"Why can't I come? I have hands and feet, and this kind of work isn't tiring. I can help you with some of it, so you can do less."
"Thank you, grandma. I'll pay you when the time comes."
"I don't want any wages. As long as you live a good life, that's better than anything else."
Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu were very moved after hearing Wang Guilan's words.
Zhang Juexia looked at everyone with a smile, "Let's all enjoy some milk at noon and have something delicious."
"Grandma, don't tell me you won't eat at our house! We still have to rely on you!"
"You kid!"
Everyone was talking and working in the main room, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
Li Yiqin worked briskly, but her mouth was also busy. "Xia'er, I heard from the Qin family that Qin Eryong borrowed money from you to get married."
"Yes, sister-in-law, you are quite well-informed."
"Hey, they told me that too. I didn't believe it at the time and even argued with those aunts.
I heard from them that Mrs. Qin borrowed money all over our village but couldn't borrow a penny.
Qin Eryong is really smart. He thought of borrowing money from your family."
“When everyone was still in trouble, Qin Eryong promised to come to our house to work after the New Year.
After discussing it with Bei Xiuyi, I lent him the money.
If he uses the money to eat or gamble, we will definitely not lend it to him.
From what he said, he thinks that after getting married, he should live a good life."
After listening to Zhang Juexia's words, Wang Guilan nodded in agreement, "Xia'er and Bei Xiu did the right thing. Although Mrs. Qin's actions were not righteous, it has nothing to do with Qin Eryong.
Besides, if you help him at this time, he might remember your kindness for the rest of his life."
"Grandma, we all understand this. Beishan and I are just worried that if Qin Eryong doesn't pay back the money he borrowed, Beixiu and Xia'er will be the ones who suffer."
"They made him work in exchange for money."
"Yes, yes."
Zhang Juexia thought of something else, "Grandma, sister-in-law, do you know who in our village is good at needlework?"
Wang Guilan thought for a moment and said, "Sewing is not a difficult task for women. But if we want to talk about who is the best, I still need to think about it."
Li Yiqin's eyes rolled around, "Xia'er, what's the matter with you asking about this?
I do know someone, Aunt Meiying, the eldest daughter-in-law of the village head. I've seen her with my own eyes, and her needlework is really good."
"Now that Qin'er mentioned that, it reminds me that Meiying's needlework is pretty good. But there's another person whose needlework is pretty good too."
"Who is it?"
"Qin Eryong's mother, Liu Xueyan."
"Grandma, I don't have any impression of the person you are talking about."
"Usually, Granny Qin is the one who gets the most attention when it comes to the Qin family's affairs, so no one else has a say.
Besides, do you think the Qin family can survive by relying on Mrs. Qin's activities and the occasional hunting trips by their men?
"Then what do you rely on?"
"Of course it's thanks to Liu Xueyan's needlework skills."
"Grandma, that auntie, it's really rare to see her go out on weekdays."
"How could Mrs. Qin bear to let her go out? She must let her work at home to earn money to support the whole family!"
"well......"
There was a sigh in the room. Liu Xueyan was afraid that she could not escape the fate of being tortured by a mother-in-law like Qin Pozi.
Wang Guilan burst out laughing. "You kids are actually worried about her. She has skills. Granny Qin only has the upper hand in words. She doesn't dare to do anything to her on a normal day!"
"Suyun, you are the only unmarried person in our house. Did you hear that? Learn the craft from your sisters-in-law.
No matter which skill you master, it is the foundation of our lives as women."
Ye Suyun listened to Wang Guilan's words and nodded seriously, "Grandma, I will."
"Your sisters-in-law are with me, and I treat them like my own children. I'm just worried about you. Next year, when you get married, you'll be far away from me.
When you encounter problems, even if your grandma wants to help you, she can't. A woman should be self-reliant and stand up for herself in her husband's family, so that everyone will respect her.
Do you understand?
Ye Suyun's eyes turned red as she listened, and she nodded solemnly, "Grandma, I understand all these principles."
"That's good, that's good."
