Chapter 291: Upfront Investment
Chapter 291 Preliminary Investment
Unlike what the Liu family thought, Li Houbo's family did not come to them for trouble. "Ya-Wen * Yan + Love $ First @ Hair"
After a refreshing night's sleep, Guan Wen got up early in the morning, and helped the Li family chop wood in the courtyard before dawn.
After a while, Liu's Zhang also got up, and seeing Guan Wen like this, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other and smiled, and each went to work.
With the rooster crowing and the dog barking, the Li family started a new day of life.
Liu steamed a pot of white-flour steamed buns, and Zhang, who rushed to add firewood in front of the stove, smiled: "Such a day is promising." β
"Mother-in-law, this is a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, the more interesting it is." Zhang quipped: "It's also our aunt who is lucky to have a mother-in-law like my mother-in-law." β
"Go, early in the morning, I smeared honey in my mouth."
Liu was proud in his heart, but he still pretended to scold, but the smile on his face did not diminish at all, and his mouth was open.
Zhang is smiling.
When the sky was slightly bright, the men and women all got up, Li Houzhong happily walked in and out of the storage room, Guan Wen saw it and said, "Father-in-law, the things that I packed up yesterday were enough......"
Li Houzhong smiled and said, "Bring more back and replace it." β
"Brother Wen, just let my father do his work." Li Erlang pulled Guan Wen and said: "It's rare for him to be busy once, he has accumulated so many bamboo things, and he hasn't looked at the time to sell them, and he is showing off to you at this time!" β
"Bunny!"
Li Houzhong glared at Li Erlang, stretched out his hand to pat him, and said, "It's itchy skin, isn't it?" β
Li Erlang giggled, and Li Houzhong pulled Guan Wen and said, "Don't listen to your brother-in-law, he has a nasty mouth, and all the sweet pieces are taken to coax his daughter-in-law." β
Guan Wen was a little surprised, and asked with a smile: "Why didn't my father-in-law make up so many things and sell them?" β
"There are a lot of things going on at home at this time, and when spring comes, the fields are busy, and there is no time." Li Houzhong squinted his eyes and looked at the sky, and said, "I'm still waiting for when the sun will come out." It's good to come out and get sunburned. β
Li Xin came out with Yang'er in her arms, Yang'er rubbed her eyes and wanted to go to the ground, and trotted to the pigsty to pee.
Hearing this, Li Xin paused and said, "Dad, if you save up and sell it, can you sell it at a higher price?" β
"Hmm." Li Houzhong said with a smile: "The shopkeeper of the grocery store said that there is a lack of such a set of things in our house. It's all made up by my father himself, and the yards are lined up one by one, the size is about the same, better than the others, and the handiwork is also meticulous, and the price he sells is high, and the money he gives his father is more. β
Li Xin calculated in his heart. Her father can make money by weaving bamboo, and saving for a month to sell it is equivalent to getting a monthly salary. Her mother serves pigs and chickens, and although the money is not fast, it is guaranteed, at least a few eggs can be collected every day. Her eldest brother is a "reserve village chief" at this time, and I don't know if he will get an "internship salary", but the eldest brother usually does carpentry work, and he also earns some money. And then there is her second brother. The second brother has great strength, and he is a good hand at serving the crops in the field, and the income in the field is the most real. After a hard year, I looked at the autumn harvest.
Last year, their family's income was quite good, and this year the family raised an extra cow, and the days must be more and more prosperous.
Thinking about the one hundred and seventy taels of silver he has in his hand now, plus the thirty taels that Guan Wen didn't brought, that's two hundred taels.
Do you want to give some to your mother's family?
If you count them one by one, .
First of all, Li Xin felt that her mother's house was a little dilapidated and old, this was still the place she found when her father and mother came out of the house, and she temporarily cleaned it up, and she has been living until now, to be honest, she feels a little low and narrow. If only there were conditions. It would be nice to be able to build a new house.
The second is the future of Shanzi Xiaodou's next generation, and her second brother and sister have one more in their stomachs, and they can't be sloppy. If you can go to school, it is better to go to school, know two words, understand some truths, and do not seek to be more productive in the future. It's good to have two points of knowledge and know how to be a person.
The other is Mingzi. Her younger brother has never let her worry about it, and she has been sensible since she was a child. Now that he is thirteen years old, although Xiucai was not admitted last year, Li Xin feels that his younger brother is definitely not a thing in the pool, and he must be a character in the future. If you want to take the examination to lift people or even enter the scholar or something, it is indispensable to go to Beijing. It's too early to say this, but it's not a bad idea to prepare early.
Her father has been holding down the eldest uncle and the third uncle, why? Isn't it because her father has no money?
She was talked about by her mother-in-law and the Hou family, why? Isn't it because her mother's family didn't help?
Look at Sun Magpie, just because the Sun family has a background and status, and is one of the few rich peasants in HehuΔ Village, who will say such and such things to her in front of her?
learned that her eldest brother had become the village chief of Lijia Village, didn't her father-in-law also come up and make a face and make a relationship?
Now that her eldest brother's status is here, and her brother's fame is just around the corner, if her mother's family can have some money to live with, then her mother's family is her biggest help.
Who would dare to open her mouth and say in front of her that she was a kiln sister, a broken shoe, and a meat seller?
Li Xin thought a little distracted, Guan Wen shook her shoulder, and asked with concern, "What's wrong?" β
ββ¦β¦ Oh, nothing. β
Li Xin smiled, "I just got up, and my eyes are still a little confused." β
Guan Wen said: "Hurry up and go fetch water and wash your face, clean up and we'll go back after breakfast." He whispered, "Put the money in a crockpot for you, and put it under the bed." β
Li Xin nodded, and after washing up, he helped the Liu family to clean up the morning meal together.
Steamed buns, porridge, boiled eggs, and a plate of pickles. This is the simplest breakfast, which is rare in the Li family.
Liu smiled and beckoned everyone to sit down and eat, and had to tell Guan Wen and Li Xin some things in the middle. Li Xin should not do anything.
After eating breakfast, Guan Wen diligently went to pack up his things, and Li Xin took a hundred taels of silver tickets from the crockpot and put them on his body, and went to Li Dalang's house to find him.
Li Dalang was discussing things with the Zhang family, and what he was talking about was just a matter for the Li family and the Chang family. I heard that the Chang family rested at the entrance of the village last night, but the uncle's family still didn't release them, and the two sides were stuck like this, and I don't know what kind of situation it will develop.
Li Dalang was a little worried when he heard someone knocking on the door.
Li Xin said outside: "Big brother, sister-in-law, are you there?" β
Zhang hurriedly got up and opened the door, and said with a smile: "Sister, are the things packed?" β
Li Xin smiled at her. Reflexively insert the latch.
Zhang was a little surprised, Li Xin pulled her over and asked Zhang to sit next to her eldest brother, and he sat opposite them. said: "Big brother and sister-in-law, I want you to do me a favor." β
Li Dalang was a little surprised, thinking that there was nothing going on recently...... After thinking for a while, he said, "If you're worried about how ...... Guan family will go back this time?"
"Not this."
Li Xin waved his hand and sank his breath before taking out the one hundred taels of silver tickets on his body and placing them in front of Li Dalang and Zhang.
Zhang suddenly took a long breath.
Even if she can't read, she still knows what the silver ticket looks like. And usually the amount of money represented by the silver ticket is not low.
Li Dalang's eyes also widened slightly.
"It's a hundred taels." Li Xin said in a low voice: "I earned it." β
"Sister......" Li Dalang couldn't help but speak, Li Xin put his fingers on his mouth and said, "Big brother, this matter should not be quiet." β
Li Dalang nodded and patted Zhang.
Zhang immediately covered his mouth, and it took a long time before he choked up in surprise and asked, "Sister, ...... are you?"
Li Xin actually thought about the ways to deal with what Guan Wen said. I have to say that it is all a good way. But to be honest, if her family really became rich all of a sudden in HehuΔ Village, it was hard to guarantee that Guan Ming and Guan Zhicheng would not want to come to get a piece of the pie. Get rich too fast. It is estimated that some people will say that her money is unknown or something.
She didn't want to be angry.
Where is it not to buy land and buy land? It's better to buy it at her mother's side, which is an upfront investment. bought it and asked her eldest brother and second brother to help take care of it, she trusted her three maiden brothers, and said that it was her mother's property, and she was the big boss behind the scenes, where was it bad?
In this way, her mother's family has become rich in face, and she has a backer; On the inside, she actually got the benefits, and the money was in her pocket.
With all her face, is she still afraid that she will be uncomfortable these days?
Even less have to deal with Guan Ming and others.
So she came to Li Dalang with money.
Li Xin said: "Big brother, you help me take this hundred taels of silver to buy some fields and land in the village." Even a slice, it is more convenient to serve the crops. On the surface, it is said that our family paid for it, and it is your land with my father and mother, my eldest brother, second brother and third brother, don't say that it was done with my money. ...... of the title deed The eldest brother is the village chief at this time, and it is convenient to do it, so it should not be known. β
"Sister. What do you do when you buy a field? Li Dalang couldn't help frowning.
Li Xin said: "I bought the field, and I have to entrust it to the eldest brother and sister-in-law to take care of it." Li Xin sighed and said: "It's not practical to carry more money, it's better to turn money into fields and houses or something, you can always make money with money, it's better than me holding it to death." β
"But why don't you follow your ...... in charge" Zhang paused and said, "Sister doesn't want you to be in charge?" β
"Not really." Li Xin said generously: "My eldest brother and sister-in-law also know the attitude of my father-in-law and brother-in-law towards me, so I think, if my mother's family is afraid to provoke, who would dare to say that I am like this and that?" He also knows this money, I got it from doing business with the big families in the town, I don't want to be like the big families, but I always want me to live comfortably. β
Li Xin took a breath and said: "The field will be entrusted to the eldest brother and sister-in-law in the future, one hundred taels, part of the land will be bought, and the other part will not be taken care of in the future, you can hire long-term and short-term workers, it all depends on how you arrange it, eldest brother." I collected the grain and paid the taxes, and I took half of the rest of the grain, and my father and mother took half of it. Now there is no division in the family, and the food and drink are all in the public house, and these are also decided by you, the eldest brother. β
Zhang was a little stunned, pulled Li Dalang, and said to Li Xin: "Sister, you can take half of ......"
"Half is enough."
Li Xin said: "The eldest brother can be the second brother, the third brother, and even the father and mother, and they can think about it again, and the money will give birth to money, and the money can be regenerated." Do you want to continue to buy land, or do some business, or even buy a house...... Anything but that. β
Li Xin said with a smile: "I know that the eldest brother is a long-term vision, and he is also calm, so I am relieved that the matter will be handed over to the eldest brother." One hundred taels is the principal, even if it is entrusted by me to my eldest brother, I will only take half of the income every year in the future, and you can take the rest of the eldest brother......"
"Sister ......"
Li Xin was talking, but was interrupted by Li Dalang.
Li Dalang looked at her with some concern: "If you let the head of the family know, he is afraid that he will be unhappy in his heart - you believe in me but don't believe in him, you two are husband and wife, how can you believe in your own brother but not believe in your own family?" β
"It's fine." Li Xin said: "If he can favor his brother, I can't favor my brother?" β
"Are you still angry?" Zhang laughed and sighed: "Living a life, stumbling in pots and pans, that's called life." If you think about the past, you're not in a good mood. β
"I know my sister-in-law." Li Xin said: "I didn't think about it so much, I just wanted to make my mother's family live more, which is also beneficial to me." β
Li Xin paused and said, "The eldest brother is now the village head, and he can't leave the village, and his status is there." But the village chief's family can't be poor, if our family can get rich, my father doesn't have to look at the uncle's face all the time, and my mother's waist can be straighter, and Mingzi won't have much to worry about studying. β
Li Xin said with a smile: "I'm in my mother-in-law's house, and I have more confidence." β
The most important thing is the last sentence.
Li Dalang and Zhang glanced at each other, Li Dalang solemnly received the silver ticket in his arms, and said, "My sister can trust my eldest brother, and my eldest brother will naturally help you handle things properly." β
"Of course I can trust Big Brother."
Li Xin thought for a while and said, "Don't tell your father and mother about this, and don't mention it to your second brother." β
"Why?" Zhang couldn't help asking: "It's just a matter of not saying it, after all, if the father-in-law knows, it will not be good for the uncle to know." The second brother has a straight temperament, and if he can't say it, it makes sense if he doesn't tell him. Why can't my mother-in-law tell me? β
Li Xin grinned and said, "Mother's competitive nature, sister-in-law, can you trust it?" β
Zhang's pause, Li Xin smiled: "When the eldest brother buys the land and hires a short-term worker to start serving the field, my mother will naturally know, she must be very happy at that time, and she can't tell people in the neighborhood?" If she knew that I had bought the land with the money, I was afraid that she would be even more proud, and she would praise me whenever she met people, and I didn't want to make any extraneous branches. β
Zhang nodded silently, Li Dalang patted his chest, and said, "Today, the eldest brother will help you ask who wants to sell the land." β
"There is no confined land to the owner's field, and the land is also made into wasteland, and the price is cheaper." Li Xin smiled: "Who said that wasteland can't be turned into fertile land? β
Li Dalang smiled: "Then I'll ask too." β
Li Xin bowed his head and said, "Then I'll leave everything to the eldest brother." β
Zhang sent Li Xin out of the door, and when he came back, he walked around the ground a little impatiently, and asked Li Dalang: "My sister gave so much money, if it is not used properly......"
"My sister can trust me." Li Dalang sighed, and Zhang said, "Isn't it, when my sister comes back, I will give us all the money stored at the bottom of the box......
"So this must be done for her." Li Dalang said with a straight face: "We are her backers." (To be continued)
