Putting away the empty purse, Li Moqiang cheered up, turned around, and called those who helped with the work to have lunch.
Yang Lanhua and Lu Xiaofeng called people to sit at home, Li Mo followed behind, followed by the silent Song Dashan.
"Li Mo, I, I, I'm sorry, don't worry, I'll go to the town to find a job after the house is repaired, and I will definitely pay back the money owed soon." After a while, Song Dashan opened his mouth.
Li Mo pursed her lips and sighed.
It is impossible not to be angry about this incident. The family had no money, and they borrowed money from Uncle Zhao to repair the house. Now, the one and a half silver that they planned to use to live in the end is gone. I am in debt. But in this era, filial piety is the most important thing. His mother knelt down for him in front of so many people. Can he not agree? Just earn it, and if you endure it, the difficulties will always be overcome.
"Your leg is so badly injured, what else do you want to do? Do you still think your leg is not broken enough? Let's just figure out a solution slowly." Li Mo knows that rural men in this era are in the slack time I would go to the town to find some odd jobs to do, but most of them were manual jobs, such as carrying sandbags or rice, which required a lot of effort, and this kind of work was beyond the reach of ordinary people, not to mention that Song Dashan was lame So powerful.
Song Dashan frowned, "Although my legs are not good, I have plenty of strength. If it doesn't affect my work, I can go."
Before Song Dashan finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Mo, "I don't agree with you doing odd jobs, for me and Xiaobao, you have to take your body seriously and don't mess around."
Seeing Li Mo's resolute attitude, Song Dashan frowned fiercely, unable to speak anymore.
Li Mo can understand his decision this time, but she is not the Holy Mother, it is impossible for that family to suck their blood like vampires all the time, if Song Dashan is still not ruthless, then she has to think about the next step Live with him or not. Therefore, Li Mo ignored Song Dashan's lost emotions, and said directly: "Brother Dashan, I hope today's incident is the last time, you treat them as a family, but they don't treat you as a family, if we both work hard to make money, In the end, it ended up in other people's pockets, so I don't have the confidence to live on like this, so I hope you can explain to me your attitude towards them afterwards."
Song Dashan was not surprised by Li Mo's words, she is a woman who can't tolerate sand in her eyes, Song Dashan can see this, he wants to live a good life with her, and will not let her be wronged with him all the time, through today's incident , His last hope for his relatives was also extinguished. From now on, he will not let them take advantage of him again.
"Li Mo, my father went there when I was young. My mother brought us up alone. When I was young, I thought that I must be filial to her in the future. But don't worry, I won't be soft-hearted in the future. Today, just When I show my respect to my mother, I will give what I should give, and what I should not give, I will not give more."
With Song Dashan's words, Li Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the incident just now made everyone very unhappy, the workers' eyes lit up when they saw the lunch.
In the village, people are usually hired to work, and those who are more difficult just cook some thick stubble porridge, which can be dealt with with two vegetables. But these days, everyone is not rich. I would criticize more, but I didn't expect that today's food is so good, and everyone can eat two big steamed buns, which warms up the hearts of the people who have worked all morning. Absolutely.
Because of this sumptuous lunch, the working men felt better about Song Dashan and Li Mo. Some of them came to help out of friendship in the same village before, but now everyone sincerely helped , the work became even harder. When it was almost dark, the roof was completely repaired. As for the kitchen, it would be completed after another busy day.
In two days, the house was completely repaired, the stove in the kitchen was rebuilt, one was broken before the cauldron, and a new one was bought to make up for it. Now the three of Li Mo's family moved back home.
When moving back home, as usual, I want to invite helpers to have a good meal. Li Mo went to the town with the donkey cart yesterday, bought the vegetables for the treat, and went to Zhao's house early this morning. The two sister-in-laws of the Zhao family were invited to take the spoon, and by the way, all the Zhao family members came to eat at noon.
Today's meal is better than the previous two days. Although I don't have any money now, but for the villagers who came to help for free for two days, Li Mo thanked them from the bottom of my heart and didn't want to treat them badly, so I didn't plan on this meal. Picking and searching, but as rich as possible, not only bought pork, but also bought a fish, bought a chicken, at noon, the two sister-in-laws of the Zhao family decided to cook a dish of braised pork, a dish of braised chicken, and a dish of stewed tofu with fish. A dish of roasted pork with potatoes, served with several seasonal vegetables, and a large pot of dry rice.
Several dishes were served on the table, and the eyes of the people who were called to eat at one table were all stared at. Seeing the food that was more abundant than the Chinese New Year, everyone swallowed in unison, and the children who came with the adults even sat on the table While looking at the dishes, I can't move my eyes, I can't wait to eat.
Li Mo looked at the cuteness of the children, smiled and told everyone not to be polite, just eat, then took out the two jugs of wine bought in the town before and put them on the table.
This time, the men are completely excited. These men usually have no hobbies, and most of them like to drink a little wine. A few men get together, order food, and some wine, that is the ultimate enjoyment, but they are usually reluctant Buying wine and drinking it is not easy to drink. Now that there are not only good food but also wine, can you not be excited, and immediately gave Song Dashan a thumbs up, "Dashan, it's so interesting, there are wine and food, this meal The food is good!"
Song Dashan didn't know that Li Mo actually bought wine, and seeing everyone's happy faces, he also smiled, and immediately stood up to pour wine for everyone, "Come, come, everyone, have a drink."
This meal has been eaten lively for two hours. The women who helped in the back kitchen finished eating early in the kitchen, and the men in front were still pushing cups and changing glasses. If they are happy today, the women will not care about their own men. , Let them drink to their heart's content, so the Song family was very lively for a while.
Li Mo and a few sister-in-laws who came to help cleaned up the kitchen. Seeing that it was all right, she called people to the room to sit and chat.
After sitting down, a woman asked Yang Lanhua curiously: "Lanhua, I wanted to ask you just now after cooking. Why is there a scent on you? What are you wearing?"
Yang Lanhua was taken aback when she heard the words, then laughed, looked at Li Mo, and stretched out her hand to the woman's nose rather apprehensively, "Smell, doesn't it smell good? This is balm."
This woman's name is Qian Xianglian. Her man has helped Li Mo's family for two days. Today, Li Mo invited her to have dinner with her man. She usually has a good relationship with Yang Lanhua. The two of them live in the same village. Yes, I live in the same village after I get married, so I like to joke together, and whoever buys a new thing likes to flirt with each other.
Now when Yang Lanhua said it was balm, her eyes widened, "When did you buy the balm? It's so expensive, are you willing?"
Yang Lanhua didn't keep her secrets anymore, and directly told about Li Mo's balm and sold it. The other women were amazed for a while, and Qian Xianglian couldn't wait to let Li Mo show it to her. want to buy.
Li Mo saw the expressions of interest on the faces of the sisters-in-law, and thought that this sister-in-law Lanhua really remembered to promote her all the time.
Li Mo took out the remaining boxes of balm and put them in front of the sister-in-laws for them to see.
Several women saw such a big box of balm, not only the color is good-looking, but also smells amazing, not worse than the ones sold in cosmetic shops, and it only costs 5 yuan a box, they all fell in love.
The condition of Qian Xianglian's family is not bad, so she didn't hesitate so much, and immediately bought a box for 5 Wen. Seeing that Qian Xianglian bought it, another woman who was also tempted also bought it for 5 Wen. a box. The remaining two women hesitated for a while, but were still reluctant to buy.
Li Mo looked at the happy looks of the two sisters-in-law who bought the balm, and remembered what she had been thinking about in the past two days, so she planned to do it.
After the men finished drinking, Li Mo and a few sisters-in-law cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks, and then returned the borrowed bowls and chopsticks one by one. Lian stayed.
Li Mo directly talked about her plans with the three sisters-in-law: "Sisters-in-law, I'm keeping you here because I want to cooperate with you to start a small business. I don't know if you are interested."
Hearing Li Mo talk about a partnership to do business, how could they not be interested, and immediately urged Li Mo to tell what happened.
Li Mo smiled and said what was in her heart: "Sisters-in-law, you also know that I have a recipe and know how to make this ointment. You have also seen this ointment. I think you also know that this ointment is in this village. It can be sold, but I can’t sell much by myself, and I don’t have so much time to recommend my balm to people one by one, let alone other villages, so I thought, I I will sell this balm to you for four fen a box, and you can go out and sell it for 5 fen or 6 wen, as you decide, and the money you earn in the middle will be your own, what do you think?"
When the few people heard this, they immediately calculated in their minds. If they sell a box, they can make a net profit of one penny or two. There is no cost, and it is just a matter of lip service. The bad thing is that I'm afraid that if I can't sell it, it will fall into my hands.
Li Mo seemed to know the worries in their hearts, and immediately added: "You don't have to be afraid that you won't be able to sell after you buy it, you can sell it first, and if you sell a box, take a box from me, and pay later .”
Hearing what Li Mo said, all the fools now know that they have made money from the deal, and they are not stupid, but quite shrewd, so they immediately agreed to the deal.
