Chapter 287: It's hard to be a son-in-law
Fortunately, I listened to what Yinhua Niang said, and Yinhua's father's character is okay. At the beginning, because of his poor health, he couldn't do heavy work, and he was often disliked by his sister-in-law and brother, and he couldn't stand this dislike, so he left home to find something to do after only three months of marriage. If that faceless and skinless person doesn't care about what other people do, and just eats and drinks at home, how else can you drop?!
Hearing what Yinhua Niang said, Erya wanted to understand the situation, at least it was a fact that Yinhua's father had not been home for more than ten years. In more than ten years, who knows what will become of it?!
Yinhua recognized her father, so she had to arrange this father. Feng Liangshan meant to take Yinhua's father to live in their house, but the second grandparents did not agree. They are all from coming over, knowing that there are two pieces of skin in people's mouths, and they dare to say anything, so in order to prevent Yinhua's mother's family from passing on any unpleasant gossip, they arranged for Yinhua's father to live in his own house first. Wait until Yinhua and Huigui's family affairs have been done, and then make another arrangement. If others do their duty, it is not a big deal for them to raise one person in the Liu family.
Yinhua's father, named Hu Sanjin, is said to weigh only three catties when he was born, so he was named Sanjin. His body seemed to be very weak, but his mind was still very clear, and when he asked him about his choice, he also thought it would be more convenient to live in his in-laws' house for the time being. What he meant was that when his body was better, he would go out and find a job, and he wouldn't stay here for long.
After Yinhua's father settled down, he naturally had to explain to his daughter, his daughter's mother-in-law and in-law, why he hadn't even heard from him for more than ten years.
Hu Sanjin roughly talked about his experience in the past ten years, which made the listeners feel that they really don't know what to say!
He said he was looking for something to do in the county seat. Because his health is not good, no one wants to hire him. Later, I found a workshop specializing in woodwork in the remote suburbs of the city, because the land was partial and the wages were small. This shop was looking for a miscellaneous one, but I never found it. Seeing that this young man was not in good health, he was suitable for doing the chores that were not heavy and did not have much money, so he was immediately left behind.
As we all know, there is an irrational phenomenon in this world, that is, most people with poor physique have good brains -- smart. This silver flower daddy is no exception!
He got the job because it was hard for him. Do it more seriously than others. And because of his cleverness, it is very strange to see the flowers and animals carved by the carver vividly. I don't have to do anything to do with discarded wood and teach myself how to carve. The master carver accidentally saw that he carved a decent carve and had a lot of aura, so he said that he would take him as an apprentice.
Hu Sanjin has always been disliked by his brothers and sisters-in-law because he can't do heavy work. Ever since he was sensible, he really wanted to have the ability to earn money to support his family without having to do heavy work. Of course, this master's mention is too much to his mind. If you don't think about it at the moment, you recognize this master.
When his master was about to celebrate the New Year, he suddenly asked his apprentice to accompany him back to his hometown for the New Year. Hu Sanjin had the idea of being a teacher for one day and a father for life, and he didn't do any idea and went back with his master.
When I arrived at the master's hometown, I learned that the master wanted to recruit him as a son-in-law for his only daughter. He saw that the master's family was good, and the younger sister was handsome and upright, so he became the master's apprentice and son-in-law with a clear conscience. In the past ten years, she gave birth to three sons and two daughters. Their young couple is also harmonious, beautiful, and loving. The sons and daughters are also filial and obedient. It is a happy family of three generations, and many people envy and praise it.
Who knows that this man has a sinister heart. It's not a story from someone else's mouth, it's often lurking around you.
His master was suspicious and sick, and he was ruthless. I have heard too many vicious and unscrupulous things that my son-in-law did after the death of his parents-in-law. Some changed their children's surnames and returned to their men. Some use the inheritance left by their father-in-law's family to give birth to a concubine and give their father's family name, but they become the heirs of the family property, but the children who belong to the father-in-law's family are driven out of the house. Some are even more desperate, directly after the death of their parents-in-law, they took away the family property and left, leaving their wives and children to beg for a living. The more he, the master, heard about these things, the more uneasy he became about this son-in-law. In addition, after his body became ill, he became worse and worse, so he thought about simply not doing two things, and before he died, he would kill this son-in-law first. Anyway, the eldest grandson is already fourteen or fifteen years old, and he can run a family and start a business, and he is not afraid that he will be bullied without his father.
The more Hu Sanjin spoke, the deeper his voice became, and the more people listened, the more nervous they became. Although he saw that Hu Sanjin was good in front of him, he still sweated for him in the bottom of his heart.
Hu Sanjin continued, when his master was discussing with his master how to kill this son-in-law so as not to arouse the suspicion of others, his master's daughter heard it, so he secretly returned to the room, urging Hu Sanjin to escape overnight.
Because it is usually his master and his wife who hold the family's money, the young couple has never had a chance to get started. Therefore, when he fled, he didn't even have a chew on the road, and begged all the way back home. But two days after he arrived home, and before he could rest, his mother and sister-in-law urged him to come to his daughter.
He finally explained: "I didn't come to find my daughter to rely on your Liu family, my own craftsmanship is actually top-notch, only because I was alone all the way and didn't dare to show it, so I came back so wolf." I was ashamed of her mother and daughter for so many years, so I wanted to come and see if her mother and daughter were doing well? When the child's family affairs are done, I will go to the county seat to find a carpentry shop to be a carving master. It's not a problem to feed myself, and I won't drag my children down. ”
Did all the people who listened believe it, Er Ya didn't know and didn't ask. But she privately arranged for a few people to follow the third uncle to the southern route to go to the place where Hu Sanjin said to check the family with the surname.
A few days after Huigui's family affairs were completed, their news also came back. The situation is basically true, Hu Sanjin's father-in-law was angry and anxious because his son-in-law suddenly disappeared, and his condition worsened, and he just passed away a few days ago!
Er Ya didn't say much about this, and heard that his carving skills were good, so he thought about how to use it. Such a talent can't be let go in vain just because he can't use it at home.
Because it was confirmed that Hu Sanjin was not lying, Erya's attitude towards Hu Sanjin was naturally much more sincere and enthusiastic. This can't be said to be snobbish or anything, no one dares to treat a person who has disappeared for more than ten years with sincerity, after all, they are not blood relatives.
"Uncle Hu, in addition to carving, do you know how to do ordinary carpentry work?"
Hu Sanjin nodded and replied: "That's a certainty, carpenter work is the basic skill." A whole set of furniture, I can make it alone. However, there are some areas that need to be helped, and others need to help. I can't do a lot of energy in this body! ”
"That's it! If I ask you to set up a team and set up a woodworking shop that specializes in making furniture, do you have the confidence to do it? ”
Hu Sanjin's heart trembled, he didn't dare to accept such a big thing. Hurriedly shook his hand and refused: "I can't do this, I know how to work." If you have any work for me to do, I promise to do it well for you. But don't look for me for such a big thing, I can't do it, and I can't take that responsibility! ”
But from the observation during this time, Erya felt that this Yinhua's father could be a good manager. It's just that people don't want to, it's not easy to do!
Erya didn't press Yinhua's father, but she didn't give up either.
After Huigui's family affairs were completed, it was followed by the family affairs of the children in the town and the girls of the Wang family. Because there are so many people to help, Er Ya has become a person who stands by and watches. However, she didn't really waste time watching the fun. Instead, he discussed recruiting people with Zhu Changming, Liu Dahai, and Zhao Laishu, who came to drink the wine.
"Girls between the ages of thirteen and sixteen and women who can leave the house from the villages around your house who are not very well-off. Basically, they are arranged to make shoes, sew umbrella cloth, make bags, weave cloth, and spin yarn, and you find people according to your needs in this area. Don't recruit just anyone, but inquire about this person's character, hands-on ability, whether he is skillful, and whether his mouth is tight.
Don't be a fool if you like to talk about it, don't be a fool, don't be a fool, don't like to quarrel and make trouble, anyway, you have to visit carefully, and you can't be sloppy. When there are many people, the requirements for character are higher, and if you mix in a bad one, you can disturb everyone. ”
The three team leaders nodded in unison and said, "Yes!" Then Zhu Changming asked, "How many people do you need?" ”
Erya thought for a while and replied, "Within two hundred!" If you really can't recruit so much, it doesn't matter, there is someone on my side who can recruit! It's just that there is no manpower to understand their situation, so for the time being, we will recruit people from your side. ”
Zhao Laishu was the happiest to hear the news, he took over the conversation and said: "Don't worry, the lady of the owner, this person is easy to find." During the first month, we were chased and didn't even dare to go out of the house. A lot of people want to come to your house to do things! As long as we say this voice, we won't be able to refuse that person when the time comes. ”
Li Dahai also nodded, and confirmed with a smile: "It's not!" My family celebrates the New Year this year, and there are several times more people coming to visit the New Year than in previous years. Some relatives who have not been in contact for many years also came this year, and the meaning of the words is to ask if the owner still wants people. We don't know the situation, and we don't dare to talk nonsense! If I tell them this time, I'm afraid that their children who are less than thirteen years old will also falsely report their age and send them over. ”
Erya also thought of this situation, but it's no problem to be one or two years old, as long as you don't know how to do anything. Some of the girls leave home early, which might be a good thing for them.
On the day of the Lantern Festival, some products did not receive many orders at that time, and Erya was originally very disappointed. Unexpectedly, the follow-up situation is getting better and better, and gradually these workshops are too busy. Except for the fur coat and fur boots, which are not in a hurry, the others are all strict and lacking people.
This recruitment matter could have been completely handled by the chief housekeeper, but the chief housekeeper was busy with more than a dozen people getting married during this time. Erya was embarrassed to drag this matter any longer, and waited for the big housekeeper to do it. Today, I directly explained it to the three team leaders, and it can be regarded as solving this major matter.
Now it's up to the carpenter, hey! Erya sighed involuntarily. Those who have the ability dare not go home casually, and those who don't have the ability can't do those things. There's a ready-made one here, and people are too timid to take over! (To be continued......)
PS: I want to say sorry to everyone again, I have to break it for another day tomorrow! I'm sorry!
