Li Hongli left, and Li Honggang breathed a sigh of relief.

What mom said was so accurate. My second sister Li Hongli really came to get the buns. If we let her take them away, maybe she would come every day.

If she eats it herself, it's okay for him to secretly give her one or two, but it's too much for her to bring a basin with her.

Li Hongli went back empty-handed. When Ma Xiufen asked her about it, she lied, "My brother didn't set up the stall today."

After saying that, he dropped the basin and went back to his room.

Ma Xiufen curled her lips, and her daughter Xu Cuicui also said, "Mom, is it such a coincidence?"

"It must be that they don't give it to me anymore."

Ma Xiufen felt that if it were her, she would not give it either.

The reason why she let Li Hongli go to get it was because Li Hongli herself promised that she could get it, so she let her go. She was taking advantage of her, so it would be stupid for her to stop her.

Li Hongli was humiliated and annoyed at her mother Chen Xiaoying for being so cold, but there was nothing she could do about her mother. If she got angry, she really wanted to take the house back. What should she do?

Li Hongli calmed down temporarily, and Li Honggang got used to setting up his stall and his business became more organized.

Senior year started early, and Li Yutong finally came back, three days later than originally planned.

"How is it?" Chen Xiaoying came to ask her while there were not many people in the hot pot restaurant.

Li Yutong nodded: "Nana, it's okay."

The county has already placed an order for the machines, and they will be delivered to the factory in less than half a month. At this time, the county has also been buying up the local Red No. 3 peppers in large quantities.

Chen Xiaoying was stunned: "You mean, you want your parents to start planting red peppers on a large scale starting next year?"

Li Yutong nodded: "One of the main ingredients of our hot pot ingredients here is red pepper, which can only be produced locally. Other places also use red pepper No. 3, but the taste of the fried pepper is different from ours. It should be a problem with the water and soil here."

Chen Xiaoying groaned and said, "So that's how it is. Your parents have been staying in the village forever, so they have found a job."

In order to prepare hot pot ingredients, Li Yutong has already purchased a lot of red No. 3 dried chilies. However, if the factory is to officially go into production, it will need a larger batch of red chilies and other raw materials. What she has prepared is far from enough.

At this point, Chen Xiaoying talked about the two brothers Li Hongqiang and Li Honggang.

"Your third uncle is not a good person..." He told the story of Li Hongqiang fooling around with someone else's wife.

"I didn't get any advantage. I bought so many things for her, even a gold ring, but she blocked me in the house and beat me."

Chen Xiaoying also felt ashamed. She didn't want the third brother to do such a thing. It was this kind of thing where the other party didn't even give him any benefits and deceived him. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got at the third brother.

She wiped her eyes, her eyes were red. "And your fourth uncle, he almost got into trouble in the factory. He was timid and scared. I told him not to work anymore, so he came back and started selling buns at the old post office. I went to see him secretly these few days, and he was selling buns in a decent manner."

"Xiao Yu, give me some advice on how to help your third and fourth uncles get ahead. Don't expect them to be successful or make a lot of money, just hope they can live a down-to-earth life."

Li Yutong understood her grandmother's loving heart. Who doesn't want their children to be well?

She thought for a while, "Third Uncle is a person who can't be described. He is too easily provoked. Fourth Uncle, on the other hand, is quite down-to-earth, but his biggest problem is my Fourth Aunt. No matter how much money he has, it is not enough for my Fourth Aunt to spend. She doesn't spend it herself, she spends it on her mother and brothers from her natal family. She doesn't earn her own money, but she doesn't feel bad when she spends it."

Her fourth aunt Yang Xiaohui is extremely lazy and is known as a lazy woman in the entire Lijia Village.

For example, during the busy farming season, even old ladies with crutches would go to the fields to pick up a few ears of wheat, and children aged five or six would follow behind the carts to pick up ears of wheat.

She didn't, and was seen wandering around the village.

Everyone who sees him laughs at him.

"What should we do?" Chen Xiaoying said, "I can't let your fourth uncle divorce your fourth aunt because of her behavior."

Li Yutong looked at her breasts carefully.

Chen Xiaoying was puzzled by her look: "What's wrong?"

Li Yutong didn't know what to say: "At that time, didn't you hear the villagers gossiping about her?"

"What gossip?" Chen Xiaoying was at a loss.

Li Yutong lowered her head, not knowing what to say.

In her previous life, her fourth uncle was working in another place, and her fourth aunt temporarily returned to her parents' home. There was no one at home, and they were afraid of thieves, so her grandmother Chen Xiaoying asked her to help watch over her fourth aunt's house.

Early in the morning, her grandmother woke up early and went back to the old house to work.

She was sleeping when she heard a man grinning from the window: "Xiaohui, open the door for me quickly. I left my pants on your bed a few days ago. Give them to me."

She widened her eyes in shock and didn't dare to say a word.

Later, I learned from her mother Liu Lanxiang that there had been rumors in the village for a long time that Fourth Aunt took advantage of her Fourth Uncle's absence to hook up with some men in the village.

On several occasions, the neighbors next door saw a man running to her fourth uncle's house in disgrace.

This kind of thing is a disgrace, it's embarrassing to tell it to others, and there's no evidence, so people only dare to talk about it behind their backs.

She thought about it and realized that she had encountered this situation several times herself. Fourth Aunt went to that man's house, but that man also had a wife and children.

Despite all the rumors, his wife still walked hand in hand with Fourth Aunt, smiling happily, like a real sister.

Therefore, she couldn't say for sure whether this was true or not.

Why.

She felt upset.

In his previous life, Fourth Uncle was also incompetent. He did not dare to fall out with Yang Xiaohui. Yang Xiaohui remarried on her own. Fourth Uncle was an old man in his forties or fifties with little money, so he could not get married at all. That's why after hearing these rumors, he pretended to be deaf and dumb and pretended to know nothing.

"Xiaoyu?" Chen Xiaoying couldn't help but call her again.

Li Yutong raised her head and said, "Grandma, it's okay. I just thought that my fourth aunt shouldn't have too much money."

"I understand that." Chen Xiaoying knew the kind of person Yang Xiaohui, the fourth son's wife, was. She spent all the money she had on food, clothing and shelter, and she also borrowed a lot of money from her family.

She looked at her granddaughter and subconsciously felt that she was hiding something from her, but she didn't say anything, and her grandmother didn't force her to do so. She told her to wait until she wanted to say it.

Chen Xiaoying talked about business matters: "I also have my eyes on a store near the train station."

Li Yutong said, "Why don't we do wholesale business of steamed buns? You can come to our house to get the goods and sell them yourself, just like Fourth Uncle."

The grandparents and grandchildren said different things, but they were both trying to make money.

"I think so."

They both said it in unison and couldn't help laughing.

Because it takes money to open a store at the train station, and they didn't have that much money on hand after buying a house and a shop, they first implemented the method Li Yutong suggested, and wholesaled the buns to sell to others to see if this would work.

After she posted the notice, Chen Xiaoying thought that no one might be willing to do it, but the owner of the breakfast shop diagonally opposite came to her door.

"Big sister, if I buy from you, how much will you give me for each bun?"

She has been keeping an eye on this store for half a year and found that the steamed buns sold really well. If the steamed buns were sold in her store, her business would definitely improve. She could also sell other things, such as soy milk, millet porridge and the like.
