Xiaobao was also very frustrated. The thick clothes made it difficult for him to step out with his short legs.
After the examination, I took off my outer cotton-padded clothes and put on a thick coat.
"That's good! I'll wear it thicker when it snows!"
"This is the rhythm of change..." After Shen Yufu came out, he was timid.
Shen Yurong was not much better.
"Be content, it's been colder than this in previous years. At least we have cotton-padded clothes this year..."
"Quick, there is hot water, wash up quickly..."
Almost all of them gathered around the kitchen.
However, the three people who wanted to make their presence felt in front of them were blushing with anger, and the coldness in their bodies made them unable to bear it for a while. They went directly to the room and picked up quilts to wrap them around themselves.
When they were eating, they saw the quilts wrapped around the three people. This made the brothers and sisters frown.
"You have lived in my house for a long time, right. When will you go back?" Shen Wanxue asked.
The eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother were embarrassed to speak, but she had nothing to be embarrassed about.
"Why? You little girl, what happened to us staying at your house for how many days? Do you still have any conscience?"
"Tch! You can stay here. Anyway, I have everything in my house. Don't let me see you touch things that you shouldn't touch!"
After dinner, the second brother took Xiaobao away, while the eldest brother and the second brother went to the mountain to collect firewood before it snowed.
Rongyue was alone at home. She was worried and tidied up the house and outside. She locked all the kitchen and bedroom doors and went out with the solution.
There were only three of them left.
"Grandma, what should we do? Will we freeze to death here?"
"We have been hanging out in front of them for so long, haven't we seen that we are so thinly dressed?"
"They did it on purpose!"
"Stop arguing. If you want to fight with me, let's see if I don't kill them!" Wang Li thought about it again and again, and finally decided to focus on the boss because he was easy to talk to.
When Shen Yurong and Shen Yufu came back, each of them had a large bundle of wood.
Shen Yurong was called away just after putting it down without taking a break.
"Third brother, you've been hacked! I'm going to see what's going on!"
"Well, go ahead!"
"Yurong, grandma knows that when you were in trouble before, she didn't show up or help you, which made you feel uncomfortable.
But our family’s conditions are not very good either, so we can’t be blamed for this.
Now that you are living so well, I am also happy. However, Xiaoxue girl doesn't want to see us, and I don't blame her for this. Grandma just wants to talk to you intimately.
Your mother left early, so at home, I held her in the palm of my hand and kept her. How could I have imagined that she had gone through so much hardship in marrying this Shen Laosi, and finally left so unwillingly.
Grandma is also heartbroken, Yurong, I am very old, how many years do I have to live?
Here, this is all the money grandma has, take it, I really can’t bear the cold for your two sisters. Go to the town and buy some cotton clothes for them...
I'm an old man, it doesn't matter whether I wear it or not..."
With that said, he took out some money from his body and put it into Shen Yurong's hand.
When Shen Yurong looked at the money in his hand, he only had less than fifty coins.
A cotton-padded coat costs thirty or forty cents. How can I buy two sets?
"Yurong, grandma knows that the money is not enough, so just buy the cheapest one..."
Shen Yurong was silent.
When Mrs. Li saw his sullen face, her eyes rolled around. Then she sneezed.
She seemed to be dissatisfied, sneezed three times in a row, and finally rubbed her nose.
Shen Yurong sighed and stood up: "Grandma, I'll buy it for you! If you are really not used to living there, I think you should just leave!"
Shen Yurong finished speaking and left.
Li Wangshi, who had been miserable just now, immediately changed her expression after watching him leave.
"Bah! They are all ignorant white-eyed wolves!"
After Shen Yurong arrived in the town, he went to his sister's shop and saw that the business was still booming, so he didn't say anything.
He went directly to buy cotton-padded clothes. It was less than fifty copper coins, which was definitely not enough to buy two sets of cotton-padded clothes. In the end, he took out his own money.
He bought two sets of the worst cotton-padded clothes. After thinking about it, he bought another set of clothes for his grandmother.
People can't watch them being frozen to death in his house.
After buying all this, he was ready to go back.
"Hey, Yurong...it's really you..."
A voice of surprise sounded, and Shen Yurong turned around and saw a familiar voice.
"Brother Li, why are you here?"
"Actually, my home is not far away, in the village next door. Isn't it getting cold? I just wanted to come over and buy some things."
"Well, that's good!"
"Looking at you, your home should be nearby too?"
"Yes, my home is in Shenjiabao."
"Well, that's good. You're really good at woodwork. Are you still doing it now?"
"No, I've been at home all the time. What's wrong?"
"But are you interested in investing with me?
Men, at least having an income of their own is called dignity! You can’t always rely on your family!
I remember, you said you were looking for your sister, have you found her?"
"I found it, then that store is owned by my sister..."
"Really or not? That store is making money, and there is a steady flow of business every day... You are amazing!"
Shen Yurong was a little embarrassed by what he said and stretched out his hand to rub his head.
"But back to the topic, although your sister is very profitable when she opens a store, it is not yours. As a man, at least he has his own income, so that he can protect his younger brothers and sisters...
dont you agree?"
Shen Yurong nodded, thinking about the kind of work he did at home every day, with no income at all, and all of it belonged to his sister, he felt a little guilty.
"Well, I just happened to have a meeting with a big boss recently.
The big boss has already purchased the carpentry shop in our town. Maybe he has limited money on hand now, so he is looking for a partner.
I have prepared all the money. I have fully prepared two hundred taels of silver. Do you want to participate?
You know how profitable a carpentry factory can be if you become a small boss. Plus, we can also make some small things ourselves.
Isn’t it nice to be your own boss and still have some income?” The man said a lot in one breath.
"Really?"
"Of course, the big boss is rich! Let me tell you, they are also planning to bring in a batch of mahogany and huanghuali... these are all good woods.
Think about it, those who can afford such good wood must be rich people... Let's invest two hundred taels each and become a small boss in it."
