Shi De was a little shaken by what he said, but he still said with all his strength: "Xiao Lu, don't talk nonsense here. Now is a new era. The cadres of the commune have told the people not to engage in feudal superstition activities.
You said Tian Yuzhu is a monster, how is that possible? She is pregnant now. Besides, Zhentang lives with her every day, how could he not notice? Go away, go away, don't let me see you again.
"Uncle, if you don't let me say it, then I won't say it. Can you let me see Xiaoli? After all, she and I are good friends. I feel sad to see her become like this."
Lu Juanjuan was very shrewd enough to notice the confusion that flashed across Shi De's face.
She knew that although the other party didn't admit it, he was already shaken in his heart.
So he pretended to care about Shi Xiaoli and tried to look at her no matter what.
Shi De couldn't stop her. Although he said no, she had already walked to the pillar and he could only watch.
"Xiao Li, do you still recognize me?" Lu Juanjuan approached, wiping away tears in a dramatic manner. "It's all my fault for not protecting you, Xiao Li. Don't blame me. I couldn't do anything about the situation back then. They beat me, too, wuwu."
Shi De thought, how come you really protect Xiaoli?
He didn't want to believe it, but those tears were real.
Just at this time, Shi Weiqiang came back from the field and saw Lu Juanjuan in his yard, and she even dared to approach Shi Xiaoli and talk to her.
He was immediately furious and without saying anything, he picked up the hoe on his shoulder and said, "Lu, get out of here right now. Walk slowly or I'll dig you to death with this hoe, believe it or not?"
Lu Juanjuan, who was pretending to cry, was so frightened that her whole body trembled. She was afraid that Shi Weiqiang would really attack her, so she quickly said, "Don't get excited, Third Brother. I just came to see Xiaoli..."
"Look at your mother, you're a fucking weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken with no good intentions, get out of here."
"Third brother, put down the hoe." Shi De was afraid that something really might happen. This kid was so brave.
Lu Juanjuan pretended to be pitiful: "Uncle, don't make things difficult for the third brother. He just can't figure it out for a moment. I'm leaving. I'm leaving now."
After she finished speaking, she quickly turned around and ran away. If she didn't leave, she would be beaten. She was really scared.
Behind him came the sound of Shi Weiqiang arguing with his father: "You're crazy, it was that bitch who made Xiaoli become what she is today, and you still protect her."
"What nonsense are you talking about..."
The father and son in the old courtyard were arguing fiercely, but there was laughter and joy in the new courtyard.
Just as Lu Juanjuan walked past the gate of the new courtyard, she glanced at the courtyard with vicious eyes.
The yard was neatly tidied, with a water tank and a broom and dustpan outside the kitchen door. There was also a small flower bed in the corner of the yard with a few wild peonies planted in it.
All this warmth deeply hurt Lu Juanjuan's nerves. She gritted her teeth in hatred and wished that all this could be destroyed in an instant.
Tian Yuzhu, who was sitting on the kang in the room, suddenly felt uncomfortable.
She shook her head, got up from the kang and walked to the door. She looked out and saw nothing at the gate.
"Yuzhu, what's wrong? If you are tired, take a rest." The old lady was afraid that her waist would feel uncomfortable if she sat for too long.
"Grandma, it's okay."
Tian Yuzhu returned to the house as if nothing had happened, hiding her inner emotions.
After seeing the foresight again yesterday, she had been waiting for the second time, hoping to get more information, but nothing happened last night.
The same is true today, but I haven’t foreseen it yet.
"Yuzhu, Yuzhu."
Just at this moment, Zheng Mudan came to the door.
She also brought a few sweet potatoes, saying that they were to be cooked and eaten. They were grown in her own plot of land. Although they were not big, they tasted sweet.
Su Zhen happily accepted it: "Sister-in-law, please sit down."
Zheng Mudan took a look at the clothes they had made and admired them in amazement. "Wow, these are amazing, Yuzhu! You've learned a lot in the army this time!"
Tian Yuzhu didn't treat her as an outsider, so she didn't hide her needlework when she heard she was coming.
In fact, she already had plans for Zheng Mudan.
At this moment, he took her hand affectionately and sat down: "Sister-in-law, let me ask you, do you want to join us?"
"Nonsense, of course I want to, but what can I do? Can I do needlework with my hands?" Zheng Mudan got excited when she heard that the other party wanted her to join.
Su Zhen smiled and said, "If you don't know how, you can learn, sister-in-law. We learn by doing."
Tian Yuzhu shook her head: "No, sister-in-law, you don't have to do needlework if you join us."
"Then what do I do?"
"You are responsible for purchasing, sales, and accounting."
"I?"
Zheng Mudan pointed at herself, not believing her ears. "Are you kidding me? I'm fine with the little accounts at home, but you guys..."
"It's all the same. If our business grows bigger, you can learn as you go."
Tian Yuzhu thought that sooner or later she would have to return to the military region.
The clothing stall needed a backbone person to take over. Although Su Zhen was more confident than before, she was still not capable of purchasing and delivering goods independently.
Tian Ying is more introverted and illiterate, so she cannot be relied upon to do the accounting.
Only Zheng Mudan has a mouth and a pair of hands. She can be soft when necessary and fierce when necessary. She also has her own way of doing accounting.
Rumor has it that the village party secretary is sometimes too lazy to manage the commune's affairs, so she, as his daughter-in-law, secretly helps to do some of the accounts, and there are never any mistakes.
To reassure her, Tian Yuzhu told her, "Sister-in-law, we dare not tell others that we are doing business, as we will be labeled as speculators. Now we just say that we are helping the educated youths and that this has nothing to do with buying or selling.
You see, we took ten orders on our first try, and two more last night. We can make almost half the profit on each shirt. If you help us with the accounting, your salary will definitely not be high at the beginning.
As for my sister-in-law and sister's salary, I have to distribute it based on the initial business. When the business is on track in the future, I will pay you a reasonable monthly salary.
Sister-in-law, if you are willing, I will give you ten dollars for the first month."
Ten dollars?
Nowadays, the tuition for children is only two dollars per semester.
Zheng Mudan was so frightened that she quickly shook her head: "Yuzhu, please stop. If you continue to be so polite, it will be too formal for me! Let's put it this way. You are just starting out now, and we are doing this business secretly. Since you trust me, I will help you with the accounting.
But you are not allowed to ask for money. You took these businesses on your own. At least you can't ask me for money this first month. Let's talk about it next month. If there is business next month, we can discuss the payment."
"Okay, sister-in-law is a straightforward person, then I'll do as you say."
The matter was settled and everyone was very happy.
In fact, this is also what Su Zhen is worried about. She is afraid that after Yuzhu returns to the army, she will not know what to do next.
Now that she has Zheng Mudan's help, she feels much more at ease.
