Chapter 53 She will give birth to a son!
With the remaining few dozen coins, Lin Shiqi went to buy some crude containers.
Growing bean sprouts requires a humid environment and needs to be stored in something.
Today went very smoothly. It was the first day and with so many people around, everything was sold out in no time. Business should be even better in the future.
The trial was successful and we started to expand the scale.
Liu was also secretly astonished, thinking that her fourth brother's wife was someone who could do great things.
I earned money the day before, half of it was used to improve my family’s life, and the other half was used for investment.
It is equivalent to having no money left in your hand, but doing things more generously than men! Decent!
The two returned to Lao Zhou's house.
Mrs. Zhou was sweeping the rice field in front of the house. She was slightly surprised when she saw the two people.
"Why are you back so early?"
Their first reaction was that the two men were too shy to shout out, and they didn’t dare to sell, so they went home.
When I looked again, I didn't see bean sprouts on the wheelbarrow, but there were some other things.
When they went out, Mrs. Zhou peeked through the window of the upper room.
The car was full of bean sprouts.
It seems to weigh several dozen kilograms.
Lin Shiqi said happily, "Mom, we have sold all the bean sprouts. Where else can we go if we don't come home?"
"Ah? Really?" Mrs. Zhou was a little unconvinced.
Look at Liu.
Liu nodded with a smile, "Really, mother. Bean sprouts are very popular at the morning market, and my fourth brother and his wife are good at speaking, so they were all sold out in a short time."
In Old Zhou's family, Mrs. Zhou trusted no one but Liu.
She slapped her thigh, "Oh! Really? How did you sell it? How much did you sell it for?"
Lin Shiqi glanced at him and said, "Mom, let's go inside and talk."
"Oh, okay, okay."
Mrs. Zhou also knew that she was getting anxious, as this was right at the front door.
Don't show your wealth to others, but don't let others hear it.
The mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and their two companions came to the upper room, and Lin Shiqi explained the situation.
I also took out the things I bought today.
Mrs. Zhou was silent for a long time. Finally, she pinched her own thigh and came to her senses.
"Old Fourth, you are so sincere! You spend as much as you earn!"
Lin Shiqi pursed his lips and smiled, "Mom, just tell me if my money is worth it! Right! My wife has made money, but I don't honor my parents. Who can I honor? The rest of the family are all benefiting from you, my parents."
Mrs. Zhou smiled from the bottom of her heart, "Okay, okay, fourth daughter-in-law, you are a good one."
The rescue of the fourth brother was not in vain. His illness was cured, and his wife also came back to life.
This is because there is hope in life!
It completely changes a person’s character.
very nice.
It was their Zhou family who treated her wrongly in the past. They must pamper such a good daughter-in-law well.
The more I look at Lin Shiqi, the more I like him.
Later, when Lin Shiqi said he wanted to expand the business, Mrs. Zhou said, "The utility room next to you is empty, so you can grow bean sprouts there. I will only give you the key, and no one else is allowed to go in. If you need anything, just tell me, and I will have the whole family work with you."
Very refreshing.
"Thank you very much, mother."
Mrs. Zhou asked Lin Shiqi about the containers he had bought, and Lin Shiqi answered.
"Do you still need to buy it? I'll ask some of the boys to go to the river to pick up stones with big grooves for you, and ask your father to use a stone chisel to chisel it deeper. Then you can use it. It can be like the pig trough in our backyard. Is that okay? The pig trough was chiseled by your father..."
Lin Shiqi nodded quickly, "Okay! But it's too much trouble for Dad."
"What do you mean by trouble or not for a family? Your father is idle in the house, and there are those little brats and girls who eat and do nothing in the house all day long. It's a good opportunity to give them something to do."
Lin Shiqi was also happy, "That's fine, my family supports me so much, so next time I sell the silver, I will give more to the government."
She had already learned from Liu that in the Zhou family, all the money earned by the children and grandchildren must belong to the public, but the daughter-in-law only needs to pay half of her income to the public.
In other words, even if the Zhou family did not invest a penny of the money earned by Lin Shiqi, the net income, they still had to pay half to the public.
She spent it all today because of the cost.
If it is all spent for no reason, then Mrs. Zhou also has the right to intervene.
Mrs. Zhou smiled and said, "I knew you were a good..."
Then, while no one was around, he lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry, now that the ancestor has appeared, our family can get by. I will keep all the money you four rooms have paid for you. In the future, if Fourth Son becomes successful in his studies, I will need it. Or if you have children in the future, they will also need expenses..."
"Thank you, mother."
Lin Shiqi thanked him sincerely.
Mrs. Zhou's implication was that handing over the public treasury money was the rule, and since she would not use the money they handed over, it was equivalent to giving it to them for free to keep, and in the future, it would all be left for the fourth room to spend.
Regardless of whether Lin Shiqi and the others need it or not, Mrs. Zhou has a good heart for them.
Lin Shiqi understood it all.
The more I look at Mrs. Zhou, the cuter she becomes.
It was time for dinner, and Zhou's family gathered around the table waiting for their meal.
"What a nice smell! I think I can smell the aroma of meat buns!"
"Me too, it smells like meat!"
"Grandma, did you buy some meat buns? Can you give us a bite? I don't eat much, just one bite..."
"Mom, I want to eat meat buns too!"
Mrs. Zhou slammed the table and said, "You only know how to eat. Stop arguing. I have something to say."
Everyone quieted down.
Mrs. Zhou then told Lin Shiqi about his successful sale of bean sprouts today.
The whole family was very happy, feeling surprised but not surprised.
This is also a small business for the Zhou family to make money, and everyone is very happy. Who wouldn’t be happy if they could make money?
It seems that the family really made money, so they bought meat buns to satisfy their cravings.
Only Wang curled her lips.
At three cents a pound, you won't make much money even if you sell it for twenty cents. It's just a small amount of money. What's there to brag about?
He looks like a great hero in the family!
The only great contributor to the Zhou family is her! She can give birth to a son! Her eldest son Qinan is a good student, and he will be able to pass the imperial examination and become a top scholar in the future...
snort.
I thought so in my mind, but I didn't dare to say anything.
Ever since she suffered a mistake in her words, she has to carry manure every day and has become much more cautious in what she says.
After all, there is a scholar in their eldest house who has to ask the old couple for money.
Then, Mrs. Zhou assigned tasks to Erlang, Sanlang, Daya, Erya and others, and even asked Zhou Yaogu to go to the river to pick up stone troughs, clean the place, etc.
Zhou Yaogu
The women and children were all assigned jobs, and the men were naturally not left out either.
"Big brother, second brother, you guys should bring the big stone trough back. And third brother, you are still lying on the bed, pretending to be dead in front of me. You will have no food to eat tomorrow! Help your father and chisel the stone trough to make it look better..."
"If someone asks us what we are doing, we can't tell anyone! We are a small business and we are afraid of being noticed."
