The poor little girl who traveled through the book, her father was lazy, her mother was stingy, and

Chapter 148 Okay, then hire someone!

Li Taohua's temple twitched and she stared at Lin Dajiang, "Boss, don't learn from those two kids."

"How could that be possible!" Lin Dajiang, who was about to imitate Xiaoman's chatterbox, stopped in time and said with a smile: "You said that we need hay to make preserved eggs all year round. After all, Dahai and I are brothers. It makes no sense for us not to help. I'm planning to ask him and Lichun to help us collect it. Taohua, do you think it's okay?"

"What's the problem? You helped my family, and your brother can make his own decision."

"No, I have to discuss this with you." Lin Dajiang said innocently, "Xiaoman said that I have to discuss everything with you."

"Ah? When did Xiaoman say that?"

Li Taohua didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Why did Xiaoman say this to the head of the family?

What a disrespectful person.

"Just last time."

"Which time?" Li Taohua got to the bottom of it.

Lin Dajiang hesitated, "Xiaoman has said it so many times that I have forgotten which time it was."

"Xiaoman, this child..."

"I think Xiaoman has a chance of success. Look at what she said and did. She doesn't look like she would suffer any loss. So don't worry about this or that."

-

The two hurried back to Shanglin Village.

Lin Dajiang met Lin Da at the entrance of the village. When he heard that Lin Yaowu had returned, he immediately followed Lin Da.

Li Taohua returned home alone. There were several women standing outside the yard. When they saw her, they immediately came up to her with a smile.

"Peach Blossom is back."

"Taohua, you're finally back. We've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Several women were all grinning, and since they saw Li Taohua, the corners of their mouths had almost reached their ears.

"What are you doing, aunties?" Li Taohua asked in a neutral tone.

"Taohua, I heard that your family is going to build a house. We have many men in our family. Can I ask them to come and help tomorrow?"

"Yes, Taohua, how can people from other villages be as reliable as people from your own village?"

Li Taohua truly experienced that even if you are rich, you still have distant relatives.

It was her four brothers who built the house for her. Could it be that they are more reliable than her biological brothers?

But she didn't want to offend him too much, so she politely refused: "Aunt, there are enough people to build the house. They were all hired in advance, and they are all related to my brothers."

"Besides, my eldest brother and his family are watching over us, so nothing will happen. The head of the family goes there every day, so it's a relief for the aunts."

One of the fat ladies wanted to say something, but was stopped by the tall and thin one. "Taohua, just keep it in mind. We are also worried that people from other villages will bully you. Since your brother brought them here, there will be no problem."

Li Taohua smiled and looked at Aunt Lin who was speaking.

Aunt Lin is also a powerful woman. She controls the four daughters-in-law in the family very strictly, and the four sons are all afraid of her.

Although things seem harmonious on the surface, the four daughters-in-law are actually suffering.

With that eloquence and aggressiveness, even Old Lady Lin would feel ashamed of herself.

"Don't worry, aunties. I know what's going on. Don't worry about it."

"That's good, that's good." Aunt Lin saw that she couldn't get any good out of it, so she immediately changed the subject, "Taohua, we are raising ducks now, can you guys still harvest the duck eggs?"

"Of course, as long as the restaurant accepts them, we will definitely continue to collect duck eggs." Li Taohua responded casually, "We are also helping others, it doesn't matter who we collect from. Besides, we are from the same village, so we will definitely collect from the village first."

"As long as Peach Blossom has a word, we plan to catch a dozen ducks from each family to raise."

Four or five aunts walked away carrying baskets, chatting one after another, as if the ducks that had not been caught had grown up and laid eggs that could be sold for a good price.

Lin Dajiang would come back from the head of the village, "I have made an agreement with Yaowu that when he comes back from outside, he will collect eggs along the way. We have agreed on the price. We will charge one cent for two eggs ourselves, and we will pay him five cents for eight eggs for the eggs he collects."

The second batch of 800 preserved eggs made from duck eggs were ready. The young master got the news and quickly sent people to transport them away.

When I left, I gave Lin Dajiang a message, asking them to do more.

In short, there is no need to worry about selling.

The third batch of thousands of eggs collected these days were finally finished after the Lin family worked hard to wrap them in mud.

The young master said there would be no problem selling the products, and Li Taohua finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Even his smile grew a little bigger.

Lin Xiaoman pounded her waist, which was too tired to straighten up, and "protested" weakly, "Mom, let's ask someone to coat the eggs with mud. From now on, we will only do one thing for four afternoons, and that is to make baking soda. If this continues, I will be a crushed little kid and will not grow tall!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Jingzhe looked at his body and was skeptical about Xiaoman's words.

"Will you really not grow taller if you work too much?"

"That depends on what kind of work you do." Lin Xiaoman tried to deceive him. "If you do hard work like wielding a hoe in the fields, you will grow taller and taller. But if you sit on a small stool, bend over and get covered in mud, and get so tired that you can't even straighten your back, it's strange that you will grow taller."

Lin Jingzhe stared at Xiaoman with suspicion on his face.

"I'm your brother, don't lie to me."

"Believe it or not, it's up to you." Lin Xiaoman made a face at him, "Do you think Brother Changsheng is taller than you?"

"And Xie Ci'an, he's also taller than you."

Lin Jingzhe has a special obsession with height. "Brother Changsheng is older than me, and Ci'an is also older than me. There is no comparison."

"Oh." Lin Xiaoman told Lin Jingzhe seriously with a look that saw through everything: "I'll tell you a secret. When Brother Changsheng and Ci'an were your age, they were taller than you are now. So those who are supposed to be short will never be taller no matter what age they are!"

Lin Jingzhe felt like he was struck by lightning when he heard this.

Just as Lin Jingzhe was in self-doubt, Li Taohua slapped him on the shoulder with a "slap" sound, "You actually believed your sister's nonsense."

After the elder one finished speaking, he turned to the younger one and said, "Xiao Man, your brother is already stupid enough, and you are still trying to fool him. Don't let him really be fooled by you, or he won't be able to get married."

"Mom, don't worry. Even the stupid and ugly sons of landlords are sought after by others. With my brother's heroic and handsome appearance, he can be considered a wife even if he is stupid."

Lin Jingzhe was furious and was about to explode, but when he heard the words "yingwujunlang", it was as if a basin of water was poured on his heart, and the rage turned into a small flame.

With a "humph", he crossed his arms over his chest and turned the back of his head towards Lin Xiaoman.

Li Taohua didn't know whether to laugh or cry. When these two kids were getting along, they almost wanted to wear the same trouser legs, but now they were bickering with each other...

Apart from other things, Li Taohua was also worried that the formula would be leaked if someone was asked to wrap the mud.

"What if the villagers follow suit and figure it out?"

Lin Xiaoman disagreed, "Mother, the most important thing in the mud for wrapping eggs is baking soda, and baking soda is something that cannot be figured out in a short time. If you are worried, I will mix the mud paste myself in the future."

Seeing that Li Taohua was still a little hesitant, she added fuel to the fire, "My mother, just think about it, if in a few months the young master sells the preserved eggs to other cities, then by then we won't be able to handle even the mixing of the paste, let alone wrapping them in mud."

Li Taohua gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, then I'll hire someone!"
