Chapter 374 Helping Relatives
Li Shaofen said, "Sister Erhong, don't worry so much. We have all this at home. We buy flour and oil cheaply because we buy them wholesale. We also buy meat whenever the two kids come home. They can't finish it all, so I pickled it. There's so much, it's not bad to give you some."
Lu Yahong said, "Then I, then I, then I'll keep it. My sister is in a really difficult situation right now. If your brother-in-law can walk and take care of himself, I can go out to work, and then I'll be better."
Lu Guojiu asked, "Sister Erhong, how is your son's recovery now?"
Lu Yahong said, "It's okay, but the disease can't be cured. Anyway, I'm just nursing him. He won't be as strong as a normal person, and I don't dare let him do heavy work." After saying this, she sighed and said, "Hey, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me when I say this. My wife is a little disgusted with our family after we had a child, and she's also been poor lately... Hey, you said that after you become poor, couples have many sorrows. You can't blame others for complaining. There have indeed been a lot of things going on at home in the past two years. I'm... worried."
She sighed as she spoke, after all, it was indeed a family scandal.
Li Shaofen also sighed: "This matter is really... Well, maybe it's because we've been married for a short time and my wife is young when she has a child. Now that we have a child, maybe it will be fine in two years."
Lu Yahong said, "I really don't dare to think about the future now. I'm scared when I think about it. I just hope that this family can maintain the current situation. I really don't dare to ask for more."
Lin Xiaoxia listened to what Lu Yahong said and felt that their family was indeed not easy. The main thing was that Lu Yahong was a good person and had a good relationship with her parents-in-law, so she asked, "Aunt Erhong, is there a small shop in your village?"
If not, they can open a small store at home. There is not much physical work in a small store and the money won't be much, but it can cover the family expenses, which is suitable for their family who cannot do heavy work.
Lu Yahong shook her head: "Not yet, but there is one in the next village, so it's quite convenient to buy things there."
Lu Jingshen understood what his wife meant. He said to Lu Yahong, "Aunt Erhong, Xiaoxia wants to see if your family can open a small store at home. Then Brother Shengzi can run the store at home. It won't be tiring and he can still earn some money."
Lu Yahong was confused: "My family doesn't understand these things either."
Lu Guojiu was experienced: "Doing business is not that difficult. Look, our market is doing pretty well. You'll understand after working for a while. Your house is big enough to fit a counter. I think it will work."
Lu Yahong still didn't dare to think about it: "My family has no money, and we don't know how to do it. What will we do if we have to pay the money?"
Lin Xiaoxia smiled and said, "It's really not that expensive to open a small shop. You can start by buying daily necessities like oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar. With a hundred or two hundred dollars, you can stock up. Once you gain experience, you can slowly add other items."
"This, will this really work?" Lu Yahong's face was full of doubts.
Li Shaofen said, "I guarantee it will work. This small business is easy to do. If you don't understand something, just ask me. Oh, Sister Erhong, you still need to learn how to ride a bicycle, otherwise it will be inconvenient to go shopping."
"Then where can we get the goods?" Lu Yahong was completely clueless.
Lin Xiaoxia said, "You can negotiate with the people selling these at the market and get a wholesale price. You can also talk to the people at the supply and marketing cooperative. They're also under contract now anyway, so you can give them some hard work compensation. It should be fine."
Lu Guojiu said, "Don't worry about this. Tomorrow when I'm free, I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to help you negotiate with the grocery store. We've been wholesale sugar there for a long time, so we're familiar with it."
Lu Yahong was also tempted: "Then what should I prepare?"
Lu Guojiu said, "Shengzi knows a little carpentry, so just let him build a shelf himself. Then he can go to the small shop in the village next door and learn from their experience."
Lu Yahong nodded: "So I'm really going to open a small shop now?"
Lu Guojiu said: "Well, this is suitable for your family. First, you can make a living and ensure your life. Then, when your brother-in-law gets better, we can talk about other things."
Lu Yahong sighed: "Well, I don't ask for anything else now, as long as your brother-in-law can stand up, this person will have all sorts of random thoughts when he lies down."
Lu Guojiu empathized with me: "Indeed, when I was in the hospital for surgery, I kept thinking that I might as well die. I would be a burden to my family, but difficulties will eventually pass. Now that we have a car, I'll go to your house with you and chat with my brother-in-law."
Li Shaofen said, "Okay, I'll load the things and you guys go."
Lu Yahong didn't let anyone take more, so she just took a bag of noodles, a bottle of oil, and a can of bacon.
Li Shaofen and Lin Xiaoxia did not go with them. There was no need for so many people to go. The main reason was that Lu Guojiu wanted to chat with Lu Yahong's husband. If there were too many people, he would not be able to relax and talk too much.
After Lu Jingshen and the others left, Li Shaofen also told Lin Xiaoxia some things about Lu Yahong's family.
Their family lived a good life in the past. They had a horse-drawn carriage, and both the father and the son were capable, so they lived a good life. When Lu Guojiu was sick, his family helped him a lot. Now that he is in trouble, his family should also help more.
Like Li Shaofen, Lin Xiaoxia is a person who will repay kindness, so she also supports her mother-in-law to help Erhonggu's family more.
However, when talking about Lu Yahong's daughter-in-law, the two of them also expressed their feelings. Outsiders can't say much about this matter, and they can only hope that they can live in harmony.
Lu Jingshen and Lu Guojiu didn't come back until after nine o'clock, but they were in a good mood. They said they had a good chat and even measured the space in Lu Yahong's house. Lu Jingshen also drew a picture of the shelf and told Shengzi to just follow it.
Lin Xiaoxia was also very happy, and she was happy to be able to help others.
In order to reward Lin Xiaoxia's enthusiasm in the evening, Lu Jingshen was not idle on the kang.
Lin Xiaoxia was most afraid that this guy would make a scene at her husband's house, because the house in the countryside was somewhat not soundproof, and if someone made such a scene so violently, she couldn't help but make a sound.
Someone just likes to tease her. Looking at her expression, that person wants to invade more cities.
Lin Xiaoxia was so tortured by Lu Jingshen that she bit his shoulder hard, but the guy had well-developed muscles, so the bite was not a big deal.
After this lovemaking, Lin Xiaoxia was about to fall asleep in Lu Jingshen's arms when she heard Lu Jingyuan going out to the bathroom. Perhaps he was scared, so he sang "Where is Spring" as he walked.
Lin Xiaoxia was originally sleepy, but was made to laugh by Lu Jingyuan. She talked to Lu Jingshen about what happened with Duan Xiuxiu today, saying that Lu Jingyuan was a little late in falling in love, not just a little, but quite late.
Lu Jingshen also laughed when he heard this, because Lu Jingyuan was truly a magical existence.
The next morning, Lin Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen were going back to the city, and they met Lu Jingxue who was going to pick grass for pigs at the door.
Lu Jingxue saw them and walked over: "Jingshen and Xiaoxia are back?" He didn't know whether they had just returned or were about to leave, so he just said hello.
In the past, Lu Jingxue would never come to talk to them dressed like this. No, in the past, Lu Jingxue would never go to pick grass for pigs.
Lu Jingshen said, "We came back yesterday and are about to go back. Brother Jingxue, are you going to work?"
Lu Jingxue said, "Well, go get some feed for the pigs. You have to go to work when you get back. I won't waste your time. Goodbye." After saying that, he nodded to Lin Xiaoxia, then carried the basket and walked towards the back mountain.
