Chapter 99: Every Family Has Its Own Problems (Part 2)
Liu Ermei's family, like many others in the village, lived together as a whole. Her grandmother gave birth to three boys, and her father was the second.
It is said that the eldest son and grandson are the lifeblood of the old lady. The old lady is so kind to her eldest son, eldest grandson and youngest son in the family, but treats Liu Ermei's father like a workhorse. Just because she had a dystocia when she gave birth to Liu Ermei's father and almost lost her life, the old lady believes that Liu Ermei's father is a disaster star who was born to harm her.
So she never had a good face towards Liu Ermei's father, and she either beat or scolded him since she was a child.
Liu Ermei's father grew up under the abuse of his mother, so he is very cowardly and dares not resist anything.
In order to make Liu Ermei's father work hard for the family under her control for the rest of his life, the old lady chose a wife for him who was equally cowardly and indecisive. In addition, the couple had three children in a row, all girls, so the old lady had even more reason to order them around. As a result, their three children were bullied by the whole family since childhood.
It was okay for Liu Ermei's father and mother to be bullied themselves, but when they saw their children being bullied, they also thought about resisting. However, the family's financial power was controlled by the old lady. If they resisted, the old lady would definitely kick them out of the house, and then how would they live? So they wanted to resist but didn't dare to, and have been living like this until now.
"Second sister, if there is a chance to split up the family, would you dare?"
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Liu Ermei was confused for a while, and then she said firmly: "I dare, my biggest wish since I was sensible is to be able to separate the family."
After hearing Liu Ermei's answer, Lu Xiaoxiao said to her: "You will get what you want, but you can't be impatient about this matter, you have to take your time.
If you want to split up the family, you have to make money first. If you have money, you don’t have to worry about having nothing to eat or live in, and you don’t have to worry about your grandmother’s threats. "
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Liu Ermei suddenly felt enlightened. Their family had not dared to resist because they were afraid of being kicked out of the house and starving to death. If they had money, they wouldn't have to be afraid.
But when she thought about making money, she instantly became depressed.
When Lu Xiaoxiao saw Liu Ermei's look, she knew what was going on. Originally, she didn't want to get involved in this mess, but Liu Ermei's grandmother's behavior was exactly the same as her parents' before she was reborn. This made her feel a sense of sympathy for Liu Ermei's family, so she decided to help them.
What ways of making money are suitable for my second sister now?
Suddenly she remembered that she had casually flipped through the pharmaceutical preparation stage of the Pharmacopoeia that day. There were several purses needed to make portable medicine bags. It just so happened that she didn't know how to sew, so if Liu Ermei knew how, she could hire her to do it, and that way she could have the best of both worlds.
Lu Xiaoxiao patted her second sister on the shoulder and asked her, "Second sister, how is your needlework?"
"I can make simple things, but I can't make something as complicated as clothes."
"It doesn't have to be complicated. You just need to know how to make a purse. If you have time after cutting grass for pigs every morning, help me sew purses. I'll provide the materials, and I'll give you two cents for each purse you sew."
Liu Ermei was overjoyed when she heard what Lu Xiaoxiao said. She thought that if she worked faster, she would have an hour free every morning. It took five minutes to sew a purse, so she could earn 24 cents a day, 7.2 yuan a month, and 86.4 yuan a year, which was almost the same as their family's annual income.
But then she thought, would Lu Xiaoxiao need so many wallets?
