"Hey, Shihua, that's not very fair of you. We haven't even promised Lele any benefits yet. How can you say that to us?" Wang Guangjie joked with a smile.
Liu Shihua wasn't really stupid, and she smiled and said, "Then you should give Lele some benefits. You see, our Lele isn't in good health and is having some trouble with her studies. Why don't you lend her some books to read?"
Liu Shihua discovered that his younger sister really enjoyed reading, and that she had an exceptionally good memory. She could memorize such thick and complex medical books, which showed just how outstanding her memory was.
Unfortunately, her family doesn't have many books, so she basically reads textbooks every day, flipping through them again and again, all because there aren't many books at home.
Hearing him say that, Wang Guangjie was a little surprised. This girl's grades were average before, so he really didn't know whether she liked reading or not.
She glanced at her younger sister and, seeing that there was no particular emotion on her face, nodded and smiled, "Sure, we have lots of books at home. Whatever Lele wants to read, I can get it for you."
Liu Shile didn't care what kind of books she read, as long as there were books available, so she said, "Anything is fine. I'm not picky about books. I'll return them after I'm done reading them."
As she spoke, she gave her second brother an approving look. She hadn't expected her second brother to have improved so much; look, he even knew how to ask her for favors now.
Although what she teaches is very simple, it would be even better if there were some benefits. Selflessness doesn't really work with Liu Shile.
She herself couldn't say it, but it was different when her second brother said it in such a joking way. Besides, it wasn't a difficult thing; it was called making good use of resources.
She won't take their books away or damage them; she's just borrowing them to look at. So, it's a win-win situation, isn't it?
The group chatted and laughed as they finalized the agreement. After enjoying a hearty meal on the mountain, they carried their bundles home.
This time, Liu Shile did not stay on the mountain, but carried a small bundle of firewood down the mountain with them.
Just like yesterday, Wang Guangjie and his sister first helped the Liu family carry firewood, and then carried firewood for their own family. This left Zhang Sumei somewhat puzzled.
The Wang family's children weren't this kind-hearted before, so what did those two brats do to make people willingly help them?
Zhang Sumei watched them leave with a slightly cold expression, lost in thought. Then she lowered her head and began to do her needlework again.
Time flew by, and Liu Shixi had learned most of the things about raising dairy cows and milking them. So Zhang Sumei went to talk to the cooperative about dairy cows.
So on this day, when Liu Shile and her brother returned home as usual, they were immediately scolded, with Liu Shile being scolded the most.
Liu Shile felt confused. "Mom, just say what you want to say. How did I attract people when I go up the mountain to collect firewood every day? Tell me, and I'll change it, okay?"
Seeing this, Liu Shixi tugged at her, signaling her not to talk nonsense, but her expression wasn't good either, as if she was very unhappy.
Liu Shile was puzzled. There hadn't been anything going on at home lately. Apart from the dairy cow and her older sister's work, and perhaps the matter of finding a husband, there really wasn't anything else.
"You have the nerve to ask me how I managed to hire people? If it weren't for your lousy idea, would I have been making a fool of myself? You said you'd get everyone a job, and you think you haven't embarrassed yourself enough already?"
Zhang Sumei had a terrible day at the cooperative. Not only did they not want her dairy cows, but they also told her that it was wishful thinking for her to want a job and told her to leave immediately.
Liu had been thinking that if her eldest daughter had a job, she wouldn't be in a hurry to marry her off. But who knew that the other family didn't need a dairy cow at all, let alone a job!
Liu Shile rolled her eyes. Is this trivial matter really worth getting so angry and yelling at people?
Heh~
It's a shame I'm in business. If people don't want it, can't you just sell it yourself? Although it's not easy to do small business these days, as long as you have the permission, you can still do it.
If you don't do anything else at home, just selling milk every day will bring in a considerable income, so what is there to worry about?
If all else fails, you can take it to a recycling station. Although the price is lower, the monthly income would probably be much higher than your salary. Why can't you think of that?
This mother used to be quite shrewd. Could it be that having a baby made her less intelligent? People say that pregnancy makes you stupid for three years, and Liu Shile thinks there might be some truth to that.
Otherwise, why would her shrewd and capable mother fly into a rage over such a small matter?
Okay, there might be a suspicion that she's trying to stir up trouble, but it also shows that she probably hasn't figured out a solution yet.
"Mom, let's talk this out. Don't worry, we can all think of a solution. If you don't have a job, you don't have a job. I didn't have one before either."
Liu Shixi was feeling down, but seeing her mother scolding her younger siblings, she couldn't bear it and spoke up.
"That's right, Mom. Don't worry or get angry. It's better if we don't have a cooperative. We can get a license to sell milk ourselves. We can sell it ourselves and not have to take a cut from other people's money. What's wrong with that?"
Upon learning of this matter, Liu Shihua immediately shared the method he had come up with during their casual conversation.
Zhang Sumei was even more furious at his behavior and almost hit him with a broom again, but she stopped after looking around and not seeing anyone.
But then she added, "How could I not know that? Is that what I'm worried about? I'm worried that people are jealous that we have dairy cows! They're all troublemakers, they're really driving me crazy!"
Liu Shile frowned. This shouldn't be happening. The cooperative is thriving right now. People are taking the initiative to approach them for cooperation. Even if they don't agree immediately, they shouldn't be so impolite, right?
Hearing his mother say this, Liu Shihua blushed a little. Sure enough, his idea was too simplistic. His mother had already thought of this method, but she was worried about something different.
"Mom, who was the person who greeted you? Was it really someone from the cooperative? Didn't they say they were all very nice?" After thinking for a moment, Liu Shile asked.
They need to find out the truth to understand why people do this, what their purpose is, and whether they can find a way to solve the problem.
“I don’t know him. I think he was transferred from some village. As soon as I mentioned dairy cows, he said I was a fraud and kicked me out. He also said that if I went back, I would be disturbing their work.”
Zhang Sumei felt extremely aggrieved. When Liu Shile asked her that question, she subconsciously answered truthfully. Only after answering did she realize something was wrong. Why did she answer this brat's question?
