Their house has always been the most united house in the village, and they have not been separated for several generations, and finally the problem came out, that is, there are too many people, and the family can't afford to support it. Their house is so small, but there are more and more people. They can earn some when the town or county needs a short job, but they don't earn it when they don't. In addition, most of the families in Huaihua Village are surnamed Shen, and they have to remove a lot of money when they visit relatives and friends during the New Year's holidays. In the past two years, two children have just gotten married, and there are still four people of the right age to find, and Shen Yuqi has also reached the age where she can get married, and she will have to prepare a dowry when the time comes.

When the third uncle found that there were places everywhere that cost money, he was worried! But he really didn't have much silver in his hand. Shen Junchuan found four women from their family to help, and he calculated the income of several of them, and felt that their family would not be so tight in the future. But Shen Yuqi goes to trouble people every day, what if she makes people unhappy, and she doesn't even want to help the previous four?

Now, the only way to stabilize Shen Yuqi is to stabilize her, and then find her a family to marry as soon as possible.

Lin Zhiyun didn't know what the third uncle had done, but Shen Yuqi did not follow the two sisters-in-law from the north and south after that. Two days before the Dragon Boat Festival, Lin Zhiyun and Jiang Xiaohui and his wife went to Markham Building to sell Luozi, as well as three chicken town five poisonous belly pockets embroidered by Lin Zhiyun.

Shopkeeper Wan was very surprised when he saw the three belly pockets: "Didn't Mrs. Shen still embroider a wedding dress for Miss Liu?" Why are there three more such belly pockets? Such a wedding dress ...... Miss Liu"

Lin Zhiyun said with a smile: "Don't worry, since I can embroider, it means that I can have time." What does Shopkeeper Wan think of this little belly pocket? ”

"This embroidery is really good, I also asked the embroiderers in the building to embroider some before, but it is not as good as the aura embroidered by Mrs. Shen." Shopkeeper Wan smiled, "How about this belly pocket even if Mrs. Shen is five taels a piece?" ”

Jiang Xiaohui was very amazed when she heard it, she didn't expect that this belly pocket could be sold for so much silver. However, the embroidery on the top is really good, Jiang Xiaohui thinks she is proficient in female red, but when she sees the embroidery on her belly pocket, she feels that she is nothing.

Lin Zhiyun said with a smile: "The shopkeeper is generous, so I naturally have no opinion." ”

"It's nothing, the things Mrs. Shen gave are good enough, and we in Markham House don't want Mrs. Shen to suffer." The shopkeeper went to count those connections again, "This network was collected at two hundred wen a piece before, and it is the same now." Mrs. Shen sent a total of one hundred and thirty-seven, a total of twenty-seven taels and four dollars, and Mrs. Shen nodded. ”

Lin Zhiyun said with a smile: "I can trust the shopkeeper of ten thousand. By the way, this summer is coming, I made a few lotus flowers, and the shopkeeper will see if it can be collected. ”

The shopkeeper took a look at the lotus flower and found that it was also quite interesting, it was the shape of a lotus flower, and even the lotus pod in the middle was woven by Lin Zhiyun with silk thread. This is delicate and small, and it makes people like it when they look at it. The pink, red, and yellow ones can be sold to little girls, and the white-green ones can be sold to scholars. Those scholars like plum orchids, bamboo chrysanthemums, and lotus flowers and other things that look elegant, and such a network should also be popular with them.

"I'll take one of these eight papers, does Mrs. Shen think it's feasible?" Shopkeeper Wan asked.

Lin Zhiyun said with a smile: "This price is already very fair, thank you to Shopkeeper Wan." However, this can't sign a contract with the shopkeeper for the time being, and I can't do it according to the amount recently. ”

The shopkeeper naturally understood: "This lotus flower can be sold every year, and the wedding dress can only be for three months, so you must not be sloppy." ”

Lin Zhiyun said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have it all in my heart." ”

Shopkeeper Wan was a little relieved to hear that she had a number in her heart, but she was still a little worried. After all, Lin Zhiyun's wedding dress had not been embroidered yet, so he embroidered three belly pockets first. With that kind of belly pocket, he also let the embroidery girl in the building embroider, even the best embroiderer has to embroider for five days to embroider one. Then these three belly pockets will take at least half a month, if Mrs. Shen wastes another half a month......

Alas, I just hope she really knows it.

When she went back, Jiang Xiaohui couldn't help but say: "Sister-in-law is so powerful, even the shopkeeper of Markham Building is polite to her sister-in-law." ”

Zhang Lei said with a smile: "I heard Brother Chuan say that businessmen are unprofitable and can't afford to be early, and it must be the sister-in-law's embroidery that satisfies them, so they will be so polite." ”

Jiang Xiaohui nodded again and again: "My sister-in-law's embroidery is really good-looking, if I have my sister-in-law's three points of effort, my father and mother don't have to work so hard." ”

Most of the income of the Zhang family now depends on Zhang Carpenter to do carpentry for people, although Zhang Lei has also learned some, but he is not talented in this area, and can only do those decent things. Jiang Xiaohui also made a small profit by relying on the female celebrity, because Carpenter Zhang only has one son, Zhang Lei, so he does not require the couple to hand over their income, mainly the two of them just live a good life.

Jiang Xiaohui's embroidered purse handkerchief is sometimes accepted in Markham, when there are more than 20 texts, and when there are fewer than 7 or 8 texts. Although she can add some input, she can't help the Zhang family too much.

Lin Zhiyun has seen Jiang Xiaohui's embroidery, it is indeed good in the countryside, except that it is difficult for her to find a better one. Jiang Xiaohui is talented, but she can learn too little in the countryside and the needle technique is too simple, which limits her. If Jiang Xiaohui can learn a few more acupuncture techniques, she will be able to earn more in the future.

"If you want to learn a few more stitches, you can come to me when you have nothing to do. I still have a list that I haven't finished yet, but it's still okay to point a few stitches once in a while. Lin Zhiyun said with a smile.

"Really?" Jiang Xiaohui hesitated a little after being pleasantly surprised, "But this kind of craft is generally not passed on, right?" ”

Lin Zhiyun said with a smile: "There are several kinds of needlework that you have to learn at the beginning, and many people know that they can be taught." ”

"Great!" Jiang Xiaohui couldn't help but hug Lin Zhiyun, "Sister-in-law, you are really my sister-in-law!" ”

Zhang Lei saw that his daughter-in-law was so close to others, even if it was a woman, so he coughed at Jiang Xiaohui several times. As a result, Jiang Xiaohui didn't bother to pay attention to him, and only hugged Lin Zhiyun and kept asking embroidery questions. Zhang Lei suddenly felt that it was not a good errand to accompany his sister-in-law to go out, who would have thought that this sister-in-law could rob his daughter-in-law?

After Lin Zhiyun went back, he settled the rest of his wages for everyone, and at the beginning, several people were paid daily. However, later Lin Zhiyun did not have enough copper plates, and everyone also had trust in Lin Zhiyun, so they agreed to get the silver and tie it up with them. Counting what was given before, everyone can get two or seven dollars and four wen, and among these six people, only Shen Junyao's money is settled at one time, and she is the most satisfied when she gets the money.

Of course, the other five people were also very happy when they got the money, but the Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, what will they do after that? In other words, they don't have such thoughts, but once people have tasted the sweetness, how can they be willing to give up easily?

The two little girls were fine, but the two sisters-in-law in the north and south needed to spend more money, so they hesitated to ask when they would have such a job.

"Brother and sister, don't blame us for being greedy, if we don't have it, we won't say anything, just ......"

Looking at Nan's sister-in-law's cramped appearance, Lin Zhiyun couldn't help but smile: "Sister-in-law, needless to say, I understand." I heard that my sister-in-law's second child is five years old this year, and she will be sent to school in two years, right? Does my sister-in-law want to save some money to be a bondage? ”

"No, you still understand me." Sister-in-law Nan said gratefully, "The eldest baby of the sister-in-law's family is also six years old, and it should have been prepared a long time ago." Although it may not be useful to say that they are all mud-legged people in the countryside to read, I still hope that they can read a few more words. ”

"I understand the thoughts of the two sisters-in-law, let's continue to come over tomorrow, I have a new network to teach you." Lin Zhiyun said and took out a pink lotus flower, "This is my newly typed lotus flower, if you use such silk thread to weave it, the Markham Building will charge it according to eight cents a piece." If you are interested, you can come and learn from me tomorrow. If all the threads are provided by me, I will charge two cents each. If you buy the silk thread yourself, it may not be able to sell for eight cents, I will take a cut according to the actual price. Do you have any comments? ”

The five people Shen Junchuan found were all kind-hearted people, and they had no opinion on Lin Zhiyun's proposal. They also knew that the silk thread used by Lin Zhiyun had always been stronger than the one they bought, and they were reluctant to spend that money, but would rather let Lin Zhiyun directly take away the two pennies. After all, in addition to the silk thread, that craft was also taught by Lin Zhiyun, even if Lin Zhiyun took away two wen, they would earn six wen for nothing.

Lin Zhiyun was very satisfied with the attitude of these people, and after they all left, she taught Shen Junyao and He Shi first. Last Dragon Boat Festival, He basically didn't make any money, and he was itching. Now I see that this lotus flower loves it so much, and I can't wait to ask for it.

Lin Zhiyun felt that this was also very good: "If Yao'er and Niang have learned, then I don't have to come forward tomorrow." My mother and Yao'er will help me be the supervisor, and if I encounter something that is not good-looking, I must not accept it, I must take it out on the spot, and I can't count it for them. ”

Shen Junyao nodded thoughtfully: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I understand." ”

Lin Zhiyun was still relieved of Shen Junyao, so he smiled at He Shi: "I know that my mother has always been kind-hearted, but you can't be soft-hearted in such a thing, otherwise we will lose our reputation and our own family will not be able to make money." ”

He Shi was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Yun Niang, don't worry, I will not be reckless." ”

Lin Zhiyun was not very relieved of her, but she believed that Shen Junyao was strict, and those five people were very kind, so they should not quarrel. It's just that although those people won't quarrel in the Shen family, they will quarrel in their own homes. For example, the thinking of the third uncle's ancestral family, after returning to the house and teaching some money to the public middle school, he was sneered at by Shen Yuqi.
