Chapter 51: I'm sorry for you
When Ye Qingyu heard this, he knew that the family owed fifty taels of silver as the eldest brother guessed, but he was relieved, and said to Ye Liu with a smile,
"Grandma, don't worry, if I sell these headbands and cloth toys, it will be another income, maybe I can earn a few taels of silver.
I can still take embroidery work, and I can earn two or three taels a month, plus my father and my second uncle earn, our family will be able to pay off the foreign debt in a few months. ”
Ye Qingyu thought to herself that this was still a conservative estimate, and when she was well-nourished, she would go to the mountains to have a look, and maybe she could find some precious herbs to make a windfall.
Even if you don't have good luck and make a windfall, you can make a small fortune by picking some commonly used herbs.
"Our family Fubao is really capable!" Ye Liu praised her with a smile, and while picking up the rags, he said to her,
"You can't be too tired, these jobs, tomorrow you will also teach your mother and third aunt, they will also be popular, and they should also be able to make these headbands and cloth toys."
Ye Qingyu responded with a smile, this is a good way to teach her mother and her aunt, but there are two more helpers.
Because I made a cloth cat just now, I am familiar with it with a needle and thread, and Ye Qingyu made a cloth tiger this time, and it was done in less than an hour.
It just so happened that it was starting to get dark, and it was not suitable for needlework anymore, because the light was dim, which hurt the eyes.
"Don't do needlework, you're tired all afternoon, rest for a while, grandma and your mother will go to cook." Ye Liu saw that it was dark, so he said to her.
"Hey. I don't do it, I'll clean it up. Ye Qingyu answered, and tied the rags on the bed one after another with strips of cloth, and then put them in her bedside box.
The box has a lot of space than the cloth bag, so it is not easy to let these rag heads get tangled together.

Just when Ye Qingyu was busy with this, outside the gate, Ye Qingyu's second aunt, the Wu family, came back from her parents' house with two children.
She carried a small cloth bag of thick noodles in her hand, went directly to the kitchen, walked to the door, and said to her mother-in-law and sister-in-law who were cooking inside,
"Mother, sister-in-law, I'm back."
"Brother and sister, I'm sorry for you, there's nothing to do on the road, right?" Ye Qin hurriedly came out of the kitchen, looked at Xiaobao and Xiaoniu, and then looked at his younger sister Ye Wu, and asked with concern.
"It's fine." Ye Wu shook his head lightly, handed her the small cloth bag of noodles, and said with a not very good face,
"Sister-in-law, I brought back a dozen catties of noodles from my mother's house, the harvest at home was not good last year, and this year's grain has not come down, it is really ......"
"Good brother and sister, don't say it. Sister-in-law understands, it is not easy for you to borrow these grains from your mother's family, and it will hurt you! I'll tell you......"
Ye Qin took the bag of thick noodles, held the hands of his younger siblings, and was about to tell her about the changes in the family, when Ye Wu interrupted her,
"Sister-in-law, look at what you said, I am the daughter-in-law of the Ye family, as it should be. It's not just me who went back to my parents' house to borrow food, you went last month, and I understand your suffering. ”
Ye Wu knew the truth of what his sister-in-law said, and hurriedly comforted her.
Although the family has become poorer and poorer in the past two years, except for the eldest niece Ye Qingyu, whose temperament has become a little mean and gloomy, the family still supports each other and loves each other.
Men are good for themselves, and the good of their in-laws and concubines are also there, Ye Wu just feels that life is hard, and he has resentment in his heart, and he can't sprinkle his anger on his sister-in-law and others, but he is dissatisfied with his niece.
