Chapter 48: Father Yang's "Decision"

Sure enough, shopkeeper Su offered Lin Qingwan a price of 80 taels of silver after the appreciation.
80 taels of silver? The price is higher than Lin Qingwan expected.
It's just that she still didn't say anything, there was no expression on her face, and she wanted to test if there was room for price increases.
Shopkeeper Su saw that Lin Qingwan didn't say anything, gritted his teeth and added a dozen more.
After the price increase, she said to Lin Qingwan with a painful expression on her face: "Sister Qingwan, my sister can only sell so much. You also know that in a small place like Luoyun Town, no one will buy this kind of embroidery, I I have to send someone to Yangcheng to sell it."
Lin Qingwan thought about it, and nodded in agreement.
Shopkeeper Su showed a delighted smile, and hurriedly went inside to get Lin Qingwan money.
At the request of Lin Qingwan, 90 taels of silver had 50 taels of small silver bills, and the rest were all silver ingots.
After the shopkeeper Su paid the money, he pulled Lin Qingwan to the side and talked. The language revealed that he wanted to buy all the double-sided embroidery products that Lin Qingwan had embroidered at a high price.
"Sister Qingwan, we have dealt with each other so many times, and you know what kind of person I am. My sister won't talk to you anymore. My sister wants to buy all the double-sided embroidery that you will embroider in the future. , Do you think you can?" Shopkeeper Su's expression was very excited.
Even if she spent 90 taels of silver to buy Lin Qingwan's embroidery, and then changed hands to Yangcheng, she could earn at least 50 taels of extra. Fifty taels of silver is worth one month's net income of her shop.
Lin Qingwan smiled embarrassedly, without speaking.
Shopkeeper Su thought she didn't want to sell her embroidery, and couldn't help being a little anxious.
Lin Qingwan felt that shopkeeper Su was quite a good person, so she didn't make deep words to explain to her.
"Treasurer Su, it's not that I don't want to sell you double-sided embroidery, but this kind of embroidery. I can only embroider three pieces a year and sell it."
"Three? Why? I don't think your embroidery speed is slow?"
Lin Qingwan's embroidery frame, base fabric ruler, and embroidery thread were all bought from Jinxiufang. Of course, shopkeeper Su knew that it took her to embroider this double-sided embroidery for a long time.
"Treasurer Su, it is not convenient for me to tell you the specifics. I can only tell you that this is what my master taught me when he taught me this craft."
Yes, even though everyone in the embroidery art was invited by the Lin family to teach the Lin family’s daughter this craft at a high price, they had agreed with the Liu family in advance that they could teach, but they could not be taught to others, and could only be taught to their children. They can’t be sold either. If they are sold, they can, but they cannot exceed three in a year.
When Liu heard this statement, he thought it was ridiculous. How could her daughter Lin Qinglan, the eldest lady with golden branches and jade leaves, be reduced to selling embroidery for a living? She paid a lot of money and asked the embroiderer to come over to teach Lin Qinglan, only to add some capital to her daughter.
But seeing that embroidery artist insisted, he solemnly promised that he would never spread it out or sell it. Even if he sells it for a year, it will not exceed three.
Who knows what is wrong, Lin Qinglan didn't learn it, but Lin Qingwan who listened to it did.
The embroiderer is a middle-aged widow, usually indifferent, but with a good heart. Seeing that Lin Qingwan is in a difficult situation in the Lin family, and thinking that she originally came to teach the double-sided embroidery craftsmanship, who knows that the master of the teaching will not be able to learn it at all, and Lin Qingwan is very hard at learning embroidery, so she carried Liu's mother and daughter to teach A lot of things for her. After she finished her studies, she told her this requirement again, saying that it was a promise that all embroiders who learned double-sided embroidery must abide by.
The original owner, Lin Qingwan, thought that the teacher of this craft had some quirks, but now Lin Qingwan knows exactly why.
No matter what in this world, things are precious. To put it bluntly, double-sided embroidery is embroidery, but it is rarer than other embroidery, and embroidery is rarer.
It’s valuable, and it’s very rare in the world. If the streets are full of double-sided embroidery, then the embroidery will not sell for a high price of one hundred taels or even a few hundred taels of silver.
It is impossible to circulate more than three paintings in a year. To put it bluntly, it is just a way for embroiders who know this craft to protect their interests.
Lin Qingwan admired the ‘Master Patriarch’ who made this agreement. That person was very wise and did not devalue the value of double-sided embroidery because of the little profit in front of him.
Double-sided embroidery may not make you a lot of money for a while, but it can make money for you for a long time. In the future, you can even teach it to your daughters and granddaughters, exaggerating it, and being a cornucopia also makes it possible. It's just that you can't live a life that is too wealthy, but there is absolutely no problem with food and clothing.
The so-called long line to catch big fish, but so.
So Lin Qingwan is also very willing to abide by this agreement, after all, this also protects her own interests.
Shopkeeper Su saw Lin Qingwan's attitude resolute, and she promised that any embroidery products would be sold to Jinxiufang first, so she didn't say anything else.
Lin Qingwan walked towards the medical hall and stroking the silver in her arms and smiled as she walked towards the medical hall and walked towards the hospital.
I was very excited and a little proud, but this was the first large amount of silver she had earned since passing through it for so long.
Originally, I was only planning to use this craft to earn some money to supplement the family. I didn't expect that the things she embroidered could really be sold at a good price, so I couldn't help but feel a little happy.
Recently, the family has really spent money like water. The 30 taels in her private house, plus the remaining ten taels for Yang Tiezhu's medical treatment. After this period of time, I bought everything and bought only 20 taels of silver. Now that he has received such a large sum of money in her hand, Lin Qingwan has always been a little worried about the lack of money, so she can finally put it down.
After passing by a shop selling fabrics, Lin Qingwan remembered that she had forgotten to buy what she was going to buy. Seeing that this store had cotton for sale, I walked in.
We weighed ten catties of cotton and pulled some dark fabrics. She was going to make two pillows for Yang Tiezhu. Recently, Yang Tiezhu can sit for a while, but because of the lack of suitable pillows at home, she can only lie on the kang all day long. Lin Qingwan feels distressed.
After buying something, Lin Qingwan hurried to the hospital.
When he went to the hospital, Yang Tiezhu had changed his medicine. The old doctor told them that after drinking the soup, they don't need to drink it again. The most important thing now is to heal the wounds and bones and not use force.
The three got into the bullock cart, and Yang Tiegen drove the bullock cart out of the town.
Yang Tiezhu saw that his wife bought a lot of things in bags and asked her what she bought.
Lin Qingwan said that the cotton and fabric she bought, wanted to make him two big pillows, so that he would not have anything reliable every day, so he could only lie on the kang.
Yang Tiezhu felt sweet in his heart and held his wife's hand.
I feel that I haven't lived in vain all my life, how can I find such a good wife! Good-looking, good to him, he must have burnt a high incense in his last life, and God will treat him so kindly in this life!
When they returned home, Lin Qingwan and Yang Tiegen were busy taking Yang Tiezhu into the house, and then carrying everything in again.
He stood at the door of the main room and looked over here with a gloomy face.
However, He's complexion has always been bad these days. Apart from seeing Yang Xuezhang, he can still smile a little. Everyone has a nose, not a nose and eyes, not eyes.
Since Yang Xuezhang came back that day, he hasn't gone out and stayed in his house all day long. Lin Qingwan never saw him anyway.
Old man Yang also had a solemn expression, frowning and sitting on the kang smoking dry cigarettes all day long.
The atmosphere at home is very bad, no one speaks, it is surprisingly quiet all day long.
Because I went to town in the morning and didn't have time to cook, Lin Qingwan brought back the gruel and tortillas made at home at noon, and the couple ate some casually.
After eating, Lin Qingwan packed up the dishes and chopsticks to wash, and heard a few words from Mr. Yang in the main room, and the voices of Wang and Yang Tieshuan were mixed. Lin Qingwan didn't care because he said nothing for a while.
After dinner in the evening, Mr. Yang rarely asked Yao to come and invite her and Yang Tiezhu to the main room.
Lin Qingwan and Yang Tiezhu looked at each other, and then went with the Yao family.
Everyone in the family seems to be there.
The old man Yang and the He family used to sit on the kang. Next to them were Yang Xuezhang and Yang Ermei. On the left hand side of the kang sat a big room couple and a few boys in the big room. On the right is Yang Tiegen, the two little girls from the third room did not bring them.
Lin Qingwan went in behind Yao Shi but did not say anything, moved a stool by herself and sat down beside Yao Shi.
Elder Yang saw that everyone was there, he knocked the smoke pot and slowly said: "A lot of things have happened to our house recently—"
Father Yang stopped for a while, probably didn't know how to talk about these things.
"Let's not talk about the previous things, let's talk about the future..." Father Yang sighed again, "The school chapter-the school chapter is not too small now, this year is also a young man of 18. Kaimeng went to the private school in the village since he was 6 years old. After so many years of ups and downs, no matter how difficult the family is, I have never cut off your pen and ink and repair... In the most difficult year, Dad sold you two acres of land at home. Teaching bundle repair..."
Yang Xuezhang sat there with his head down and didn't speak, listening to Old Man Yang.
He trembling his lips wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
"...The life at home has always been difficult, as you all know. It wasn't until the second child came back that the life at home gradually got better... The house built a large tiled house and bought a few acres of land. You can also go to the town academy to study. This is the second child’s credit... This time your second brother was injured when he went hunting in the mountains to buy you money for the exam questions... The exam questions were also deceived..."
The old man Yang said in a very slow tone, with a little trembling in between.
"Now it’s useless to say anything. I just want to say that now the family has no ability or money to continue studying. You still have so many brothers and sisters, and so many nephews and nieces... it’s impossible to have money at home. It's all spent on you alone...in the future, you will go home and study by yourself. You should have studied for so many years. If you want to continue to take the exam, the family will not object to it. But don't go to the academy... "
Maybe Old Man Yang had already told He's and Yang Xuezhang in advance, so even if He's trembling with anger, he didn't make a sound. Yang Xuezhang still sat there with his head down and didn't respond.
Mr. Yang raised his head and looked at the couple in the big room, as well as the children that Wang pulled over to add weight.
"Boss, are you satisfied now?"
Before the big room couple could react, Mr. Yang waved his hand to let them all disperse.
People gradually dispersed, and the door to the east room was closed and the lights were turned off.
Father Yang saw his younger son sitting desperately at the corner of the kang, covering his old face, his straight waist also collapsed, and the cigarette stick in his hand fell to the ground.
"Fourth old, don't blame Dad, you are not the only son in the family who has supported you for so many years, there is really no way..."
Yang Xuezhang did not speak, and walked back to Westinghouse without focusing his eyes.
He screamed, and the sound cut through the silent night.
...
The sky is getting cold gradually, although there is no snow, but the wind is biting.
People are wearing warm cotton clothes and burning kangs at home. Cats don't want to go out at home. But no matter how unwilling to go out, life is always going to be passed. Some hardworking men in the village go to the town to find odd jobs. Others found no work in the town and went to the county.
The Yang family lost a large sum of money this year, and the He family rushed Yang Tiegen and Yang Tieshuan to find odd jobs in the town as soon as there was nothing wrong with the family. Yang Tiegen originally meant to do odd jobs, but Yang Tieshuan had never been forced by the He family.
After all, this year was different. Everyone in the family knew that the money in He's hand was emptied by Yang Xuezhang, and Yang Tieshuan went straight away as soon as he couldn't rely on it.
Elder Yang, Yang Xuezhang, the injured Yang Tiezhu, and several women remained in the house. Lin Qingwan didn't care about things outside the window, she just wanted to raise Yang Tiezhu's body.
Yang Tiezhu's body also became stable under Lin Qingwan's help during this period. Except for the wound on his left shoulder and left arm, he could not move, he could already walk down, and he could even help Lin Qingwan carry some heavy things.
But Lin Qingwan was afraid that his right hand would pull his left shoulder forcefully, so he usually wouldn't let him do it. As long as he showed little signs of wanting to help her, Lin Qingwan would not give him a good face.
Yang Tiezhu saw that his daughter-in-law didn't give him a good face, and immediately became honest, healed in the house honestly, and did nothing.
The life went on like this, and at this moment, Lin Qingwan's long-awaited thing finally happened
As soon as Yang Tieshuan left, Wang became even more lazy. There is nothing else to do when cooking the family’s meals to serve the children.
As usual, once there is no work in the family, Wang likes to go to the boss and cross the west to play around and talk to people. Too many things happened during this time, and she didn't have time to go out.
When she was free, she ran out of the old manner.
This going out was terrific, and it made her hear a shocking news.
Wang's head was blown up by the shocking news, but she couldn't act like she didn't know, so she could only say a few words perfunctorily and change another family.
I went to four or five women's homes with a lot of gossip on weekdays, and everyone had similar expressions and statements. Only then did Wang settle down and think carefully.
The second child's arm was scrapped, but there was no wind at home. She doesn't even know her sister-in-law, but the people outside know it all around.
Moreover, it is said that Yang and his second wife accidentally showed the strangeness, which was noticed by the people in the village. It is difficult for everyone to come and disturb the injured patient, so they can only go to the Yang family to talk.
The Wang family knew the skill of the gossip women in the village. Sometimes the people who are being talked about don't feel that they are being talked about, but others also know the secrets others want to know.
My arm is broken, and I still don’t tell my family, why should I hide it from my family?
Wang's brain opened up for a while-
How about saving the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain?
Let a narrow-minded person like Wang think about it, and she will only think about conspiracy and trickery.
Wang thought for a long time, but only came up with one reason
That is, Erfang kept it from everyone and the family to keep people from knowing it, because they were afraid that the family would despise them, or that others would despise them.
After all, disability is not a trivial matter, it is a big deal in a country where people rely on strong labor for food.
Wang suddenly felt that he had seized the handle of Erfang, and wanted to threaten Lin Qingwan to let her share the good meat cooked by Erfang, but after another thought, he felt that something was wrong.
But for a while, she couldn't figure out what was wrong, Wang had to think hard, even eating dinner at night absent-mindedly.
At night, when the children go to bed, Wang's inspiration flashes.
She squeezed several children into the blankets to sleep, and lay on the kang herself. The more I think about it, the more I feel so...
She spit on herself first in her heart, no wonder her man just said that she had a brain for eating, she really only thought of eating, but she didn't think of the most important point.
Why did the two-bedroom couple keep the family from letting them know that Yang Tiezhu was useless?
Not only for fear that the family will dislike them, but also for fear that He will sweep them out!
After all, the second child used to be a good hand at work and good at hunting and making money, but now it is different. After the abolition, farm work can no longer be done, nor can it go up the mountain to hunt.
To be more serious, even the fourth child who eats only in the house is worse! The fourth child can rush down to work, what can a disabled person do?
How can the mother-in-law He, who has never waited to see her second child, endure such a big gap? It will definitely make trouble to make Yang Tiezhu out of the house! Even if Mr. Yang strongly opposed it, it was useless, but Wang knew the ability of his mother-in-law He to make people. It was people who resisted killing Buddhas who resisted killing Buddhas, especially when Yang Xuezhang had just happened, and she didn't let it go.
The Wang clan laughed happily on the Kang when he thought about it, and later that Lin clan would dare to ignore her.
Humph, today you are indifferent to me, tomorrow I will make you unable to climb high! (Hey, this is a joke.)
She wondered again whether this incident would be good for their big room...
No matter how you think about it, I feel that this is definitely good for a big house. First, the couple in the second room were swept out, and the house in the family became vacant, so that the children in her family wouldn't have to be so old to be able to sleep in one room. Second, there is no need to raise two useless people in the family, and a lot of food can be saved. No matter whether the food is in the hands of the He family, at least there are a few people in the family. The advantage is the remaining people. Third, although the two-bedroom couple is now two people, their marriage time is not short. Maybe they will soon add a third person and a fourth person. Then it will not be two wastes, but A bunch of waste people...
The more Wang thought about it, the more excited he became.
Why is she so smart? !
In the darkness, Wang's eyes were so bright, he snickered for a while and then smug, as if he was crazy...
On the second day, Wang woke up early, and after a night, she was still overwhelmed with excitement.
Compressed by the excitement and the conspiracy that could not be heard by outsiders, she waited until after the meal, she took a look at it, and dragged He to their east room.
You can't tell Elder Yang about this in advance. If you let Elder Yang know, the mother-in-law will not have the opportunity to prepare.
He looked at the weird eldest daughter-in-law. Although he wanted to slap her against the wall, he still pressed his temper to listen to her finish.
After listening to it, He didn't bother to dislike Wang, and she was also blown up by the news.
After staying for a long time, He came to his senses. However, He's Taoism is deeper than Wang's after all, and I can think of it in a blink of an eye. He told Wang not to talk nonsense at home without her permission, so he returned to his house.
He didn't stay in the main house, and Father Yang was still in the house. Instead, he went to the house of Yang Ermei behind the main house.
Yang Ermei is doing needlework in the house. She is shy by nature and doesn't like to go out. There are few friends. I don't have anything to do on weekdays, so I do needlework in the house, making clothes and shoes for my parents and brothers.
This is also the reason why He likes her old girl so much. Since Yang Ermei can make clothes and shoes by herself, the feet worn by Father Yang, He and Yang Xuezhang have almost all been arranged by Yang Ermei.
Yang Ermei didn't dare to say anything when He sat there with a bad face. After a while, seeing her mother didn't mean to talk to her, she immersed herself in needlework.
He sat in Yang Ermei's room and thought for a long time before letting out a sigh of relief.
With a sharp look in her eyes, she went to the second house.
Lin Qingwan was very surprised to see He rarely come to their house. But looking at He's face, she knew that she must have known it.
Where did the mother-in-law come in and refused to let in, Lin Qingwan asked the body to invite He in.
He's pestle did not move at the door.
If He doesn't wait to see anyone, it's very obvious. She didn't wait to see Yang Tiezhu before, and she had never been to his house, so this time it was the same.
He stood at the door and looked at Yang Tiezhu, who was sitting on the kang with confusion, his stern old eyes turned back to Lin Qingwan.
He hasn't waited to see this second daughter-in-law, because she thinks she is weak and not strong enough, thinks she can hook her second child, and hooks her second daughter into disobedience. In the past, he had to endure it because Yang Tiezhu was able to make money for the family, but now Yang Tiezhu is useless, and the He family is not going to endure her anymore.
She pulled Lin Qingwan to the side, using a bit of strength, and she almost missed Lin Qingwan.
