Chapter 79

"Fifth sister, you want to go back and eat candies, don't you? Fourth sister wants to eat too." Siwa thought of the gift box in the room and understood instantly. She hugged Ye Shiqi and walked steadily back to their bedroom.

"Si Ya, be careful not to throw your sister."

Mrs. Li was worried that the fourth baby could not hold the fifth baby. Looking at her movements, she felt that her worries were unnecessary. It seemed that she had missed the details of the children's growth when she was not at home. The fourth baby had already done so well.

Become a good sister.

There were many complex emotions in Li's eyes, including guilt for missing her children's growth and shame for causing them to suffer.

"Wait for me, I want to come into your room to play too." Tang Shunyan trotted to the side of Siwa and followed her into their bedroom.

The maid of Tang Mansion wanted to prevent Tang Shunyan from entering that poor and shabby room.

"Young Master, don't go in!"

"You guys go and guard outside. Don't follow me in. I have a lot to say to the little sisters." Tang Shunyan glared at the maid and mother-in-law.

"Didn't you hear what the young master said? Stay guard in their room."

The housekeeper felt that the two girls inside could not harm Tang Shunyan. They looked so sensible, and he also hoped that the young master would associate with smart children. This was his personal intention. Of course, he would tell the master about this situation when he returned.

Mrs. Li saw this and asked her husband. The three daughters went to the fields.

I looked at the adults at home with great distress. They were all at home, but a few children were allowed to go outside to work.

She blames not only her husband, but herself more for why she is so weak. It is her weakness that causes her children to suffer so much.

As they were preparing to pick up their three daughters, they saw each of them carrying a basket of wild vegetables into the yard. When they entered the yard, they saw so many people in the yard placing their baskets on the ground in the yard and looking at them timidly.

People in the yard.

"Da Ya, Er Ya, San Ya, my good babies, come in and let me see you."

"Mom, are you back?"

"Mom, I miss you so much."

"Mom, it's great to have you back."

Daya and her two younger sisters ran to Mrs. Li's side, their eyes longing for maternal love.

"Tch, so dirty..." Xiuzhi looked at the dolls next to Li with disgust and saw that their hands and clothes were dirty.

"Look at them? Are there any bugs on their heads?" Maid Mei Zhi also looked at the dolls around Li with disgust.

"Please keep your voice down, the master is here." Ju Feng glanced at the adults in the master's family.

"What are you afraid of? I'm just dirty..." Xiuzhi resented Li the most and seized the opportunity to speak harshly.

"Stop talking. These children are very sensible. They work at such a young age, but the adults in the family don't work."

Mrs. Pan said to the two maids that she came here for the second time and knew more about the affairs of Mr. Li's family.

"You deserve it. This useless mother, Mrs. Li, makes her children suffer so hard." Xiuzhi said again.

The others did not reply to her words, but looked at the people in the main family. The man in the main family seemed to have heard them, and his face was red and he wanted to say but was embarrassed.

The women of the master's family stared at them, especially the two women who were not yet married.

Ye Shuzhi and Ye Shuzhen's ears were alert, and they watched their mother enter the room to put away the gifts. They even heard someone say bad things about their family.

Staring at these women, I felt that they were no different from three aunts and six wives for being so gossipy at such a young age.

The two sisters wore coarse cotton clothes. They were very envious of the maids in front of them who were dressed better than them.

Even my sister-in-law, who is a wet nurse, is better dressed than them.

Mrs. Lai didn't even bother to go out to greet the guests. She was looking through the gifts and looking for a place to lock them up.

Acer greeted the housekeeper and guards, but could only treat them to drink boiled water.

Acer's dad sat beside me and occasionally smoked a few puffs of bamboo cigarettes.

Because a child of just a few months could carve such a good toy, the housekeeper became curious about the father and son in front of him and asked them questions about their daily life.

"Brother, do you and your son usually make money by doing carpentry?"

Acer listened to the housekeeper's question and said honestly:

"Yes, we took over the work from the village. People from other villages or towns asked us to build furniture. Some of them sent us materials, and some asked us to pay for the materials ourselves. We finished the previous work before the busy farming season. It's done.

Later I want to make a dowry for my second sister.

"Oh, why haven't I seen you making other furniture?"

"Yes! It was originally going to be made into furniture. Have you seen those wooden statues? I thought of carving wooden Buddha statues, selling toys and the like to make some money, and letting others do the dowry work for my second sister."

"Oh, you make a wooden Buddha statue? Do you have a version? Can you show it to me?" The housekeeper listened and became interested in the wooden Buddha statue that Acer said. He has been with the master for a long time and has a little business acumen.

With a little bit of movement, I can feel that profitable business is coming.

"During this period, people come in to place orders every day. I can't even sell the wooden statues I carved. Look, I carved this this morning. I haven't even had time to polish or paint it."

Acer picked up a carved wooden Buddha statue and showed it to the housekeeper.

"Is this a wooden Bodhisattva statue? How much do you sell it to others?"

"The ones sold to the folks in the countryside are very cheap. We only charge 20 yuan for a Bodhisattva statue."

After listening to Acer's words, the housekeeper made some calculations in his mind. If such a statue was sold in their jewelry store, it would definitely be sold at a very high price. The workmanship is good, but it is a pity that it is made of ordinary wood.

.

The butler had other ideas, but he had to discuss them with the master before deciding. So he listened to Acer and said:

"If we ask you to carve wooden statues and give you some better wooden statues, we will give you wages. Are you willing to take on such a job?"

"You provide wood? If I carve it, do you think I'm working for you?"

"Yes, we will give you a higher price when the time comes. It will definitely be higher than the price you currently pay for engraving several pieces a day."

"Yes, you can pick it up, but if you give us such good wood, we are afraid that people will steal it if you leave it at home."

Acer said his thoughts honestly. There are not many thieves in the countryside, but it is difficult to ensure that there are no bandits going down the mountain to rob.

"What I tell you now is just an intention. When I go back and discuss it with the master, I will make a decision. Then I will tell you how to do it. However, if you are asked to carve the wood, it will definitely not be done at home. It will be done at home.

Our unique factory location there.”
