Li Benshan shook his head, "We have guided dad and my little sister's good intentions. A girl who grew up in the country should marry in the country and be practical. Dad, don't worry about Damai."
"How about that?"
Mrs. Zhao finally couldn't sit still anymore and walked out.
"Second brother, don't worry. We can't take care of the three grandsons marrying their wives. The three girls are looking for their in-laws. As a grandma, I have to worry about it."
Li Benshan frowned and said, "The children are still young, so it's early to get married."
Ms. Zhao nodded in agreement.
"The second and third girls are a bit young, but the eldest girl is fourteen, so she's not too young."
"Follow me to Fucheng. I'll tidy things up for her and look after her to find someone who has enough food and clothing and a wealthy family. If it goes well, I'll find an official to do the same."
Li Benshan shook his head: "Sister-in-law will not agree."
Looking for an official?
Even if you are an official, you won't be able to turn to Damai. My little sister is still ahead!
Mrs. Zhao clapped her hands and said, "Oh, if you lower your head to marry a wife and raise your head to marry a daughter, how can you find a good husband in the countryside? Your sister-in-law doesn't understand. You run out every day, don't you understand?"
"She is my granddaughter. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't even bother to worry about it."
Seeing that Li Benshan was still unmoved, Zhao glanced at Old Man Li and motioned for him to speak.
Old Man Li said to Li Benshan displeasedly: "You are the head of the family, you have the final say."
Li Benshan was speechless.
He looked at Old Man Li and said, "Dad, my sister-in-law is in charge of the house.
Mrs. Zhao smiled and said, "Okay, ask your sister-in-law to come over tomorrow and I will tell her personally."
Li Benshan shook his head, "Sister-in-law won't come. We accept your kindness and I'm going back."
Li Benshan turned around, and Mrs. Zhao said from behind: "Then let Damai come, and we two will talk."
Li Benshan stopped and looked back at Mrs. Zhao.
Mrs. Zhao smiled and said, "I haven't seen the big girl for a while. I miss her so much. Just let her come and I'll make delicious food for her."
Li Benshan frowned.
If he didn't think much about it before, he had to think about it more now.
Don't talk about the deep love between ancestors and grandchildren. If you say that the old man is still possible, will Zhao miss Damai? Are you lying?
It's okay to have hatred.
So, Zhao tried every possible means to get close to Damai and wanted Damai to go to Fucheng. What was he trying to do?
Li Benshan said seriously: "Don't bother. We have separated, so we should have less contact in the future."
"Snapped"
Old Man Li slapped his hand on the table, pointed at his son and cursed: "Why are you talking? You ungrateful thing."
Li Benshan stopped talking and left without looking back.
Behind him was Old Man Li's scolding.
"You damn thing, if you don't interact with me and follow that vicious woman, why don't you sever the father-son relationship with me?"
Li Benshan walked faster.
Dad also learned to curse like his stepmother.
If you call your sister-in-law a poisonous woman, what is your stepmother?
The next day, Mrs. Zhao sent Lian Zhi over to ask her granddaughters to come over for dinner. Mrs. Song sternly refused.
On the third day, Mrs. Song learned from her neighbor Mei Zi that Old Man Li and his family of three had gone to Fucheng. It was said that they had taken away Xinghua, the third granddaughter of the patriarch.
Lian Zhi still stayed behind. In addition to looking after the house, he also had to look after the fields.
After the wheat is sown, water has been poured over the head. If the wheat seedling emergence rate is not good, the branches will have to worry about replenishing the seedlings and pouring overwintering water.
Mrs. Song breathed a sigh of relief. As for Xinghua, she couldn't control it.
She just wants her children to be safe.
This time when Old Man Li went to Fucheng, he didn't inform Li Benshan.
No one knows whether Li Benshan was depressed, because he had been silent for several days.
However, Xiao Sanshun never went to the gate to wait for his grandfather again. The little guy seemed to have forgotten Old Man Li.
The family was busy collecting herbs and automatically ignored the news from the old house.
After the Double Ninth Festival, the hawthorns in the mountains will be ripe.
The Li family began to wonder whether they should make candied haws and sell candied snowballs this year.
Dazhu and Erwang can't be counted on, but Li Benshan can join the sale.
Selling candied haws on a straw basket, Li Benshan, like Mr. Song and Mr. Da Mai, was a bit embarrassed.
Moreover, making candied haws is too busy, and the profit is far different from that of peppermint oil and toilet water. It is simply heaven and earth.
But if they don't do it, in winter, without mint and flowers, they won't be able to make peppermint oil and floral dew.
You can't just rest at home, right?
Damai suddenly said: "Don't you want to open a pharmacy, second sister? How about we rent a shop in the county?"
Li said: "I think it's okay. We can sell candied haws and candied snowballs in the shop, as well as the toilet water and peppermint oil we saved."
Xiaodao said with a smile: "There are also detoxifying pills and qi-enhancing and blood-replenishing pills made by the second sister."
Li Xiaomian was speechless.
She had been busy for so long and was able to refine these two kinds of elixirs.
And she was very dissatisfied with these two elixirs.
In the past, elixirs were made, which either had no smell or had a fragrant smell with lingering elixirs.
But the detoxification pills that are being refined now can only be called detoxification pills. Not to mention that they have a strange smell, and their efficacy is not very satisfactory.
So she has been practicing optimization.
Li Benshan, who had been silent for a few days, frowned and asked: "Opening a shop is no joke. Do we have that much money?"
The woman in the room laughed.
Li Xiaodao said with a smile in a thin voice: "Dad doesn't even know how rich our family is now. Hehe..."
Li Benshan raised his eyebrows, glanced at his daughter, and asked Mrs. Song curiously: "Sister-in-law, is our family very rich now? Why does this child seem to have a mountain of gold and silver?"
Ms. Song also smiled and said, "Wait a minute, let's sort out our family fortune."
As she said that, she got up, went into the back room and took out a heavy, locked wooden box.
Everyone gathered around happily.
Li Benshan also stood behind his daughter, cocking his head and looking inside.
Mrs. Song took out the key from her pocket and opened the lock. She took out her accounting book and started to check the accounts.
The money from selling grain, mainly autumn grain soybeans, was sold for 800 Wen.
Mountain goods, which were mainly collected by Li Benshan from the mountains, cost him two taels of silver.
I only bought a small part of the herbal medicine, and I only had two taels of silver. The rest Xiao Mian wanted to make medicine and make elixirs, so she kept them all.
After checking an account, he took out the money and put it on the table.
When she saw the peppermint oil written on the account book, Mrs. Song smiled and said: "The peppermint oil has received eighty-six taels."
"So many?" Li Benshan could hardly believe his ears.
Ms. Li smiled and said, "You know how powerful we are, right? You still think it's overkill when I ask you to help collect mint leaves. As soon as you have free time, you will run to the mountains."
Li Benshan looked at the pile of broken silver on the table and smiled: "I really didn't expect to earn so much money."
"Besides, my youngest son and I are doing the same job, how can I not feel that we are overqualified for our job?"
Yes, he used a scale to collect mint leaves, and his younger son collected flowers in baskets. Sometimes the two of them worked at the gate, and the scene was really funny.
Mrs. Song smiled and said: "Don't underestimate us Sanshun, these three children earn as much as we three adults."
As she spoke, she pointed to the pile of broken silver left in the box and said, "The ninety-one taels here are all earned by the three children. Among them, we, Sanshun, have the greatest credit."
Xiao Sanshun's little face turned red and her body was straight and straight after being praised.
The little guy tried his best to keep his mouth tight, and his bent eyes were squeezed together.
"That's right, thanks to third brother, otherwise we wouldn't be able to make so much money."
Damai smiled and praised Sanshun. The little guy finally couldn't stand it any longer and grinned so much that his teeth couldn't even see his eyes.
