Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 79 He got married
Seeing that she agreed, Lu Baichuan placed a stack of banknotes on the table and said very politely: "Thank you, girl."

After saying that, he stood up and was about to leave. Wei Yu hurriedly stopped him: "Are you leaving now? If there is any news, how should I contact you?"

Lu Baichuan replied: "Well, I have to leave early tomorrow morning. There is no need for the girl to contact me. I will come back to you in three months to get the news."

He has to go back to Nantai, and his identity and location cannot be exposed, so he can only get it himself.

Wei Yu's eyes lit up: "Since Brother Sun won't leave until early tomorrow morning, why not stay for a light meal? Yu'er is willing to serve..."

"Miss Wei," Lu Baichuan interrupted her, "Thank you very much, Miss Wei, for the invitation. It's just that Sun has a family and it's inconvenient to stay longer. I hope you can forgive me."

After saying that, he strode away, leaving Wei Yu standing there alone in a daze.

When did he have a family background?How could someone like him have a wife?

What kind of woman can be worthy of him?
Did he not reveal his location because he didn't want her to know the whereabouts of his wife?
"Brother Sun!"

She hurriedly chased her out, forced a smile on her face, held back her sadness and asked, "When did you get married?"

Lu Baichuan had already reached the door. Seeing that she actually chased her out, he thought it would be better to explain the matter clearly at once, so he said, "Three years ago."

The two first met two years ago, so he got married before he met her.

No wonder he has always kept a distance from her. Even if he comes to a place like Fengyun Building to do business, he never really lets himself be involved in it. He always leaves right after finishing the business.

She always thought that he didn't understand coquettishness, and he ignored her several overtures. It seemed that she had misunderstood.

But nowadays, even if they have families, there are only a lot of men who come to Hualou to play. But Brother Sun can refuse her for a woman. That woman is really lucky.

"I understand, Brother Sun, see you later."

She showed a decent smile, watched him leave, and then burst into tears.

Mother Gu didn't know when she came to her. She sighed and said, "He's getting married, so you should be relieved, right?"

Wei Yu shook his head gently: "No, I respect him even more."

Mama Gu: ...

It was so dry here in Changzhou that it started to rain, but it started to rain in Jingzhou. The Lu family's house hadn't been built yet. It had been raining heavily for two days. The family was hiding in the thatched shed and couldn't go anywhere.

"Fortunately, the third brother and sister bought oilcloth, otherwise our thatched shed wouldn't be able to hold up!"

Mrs. Yu sighed, and the girl next to her sneezed.

It is now late autumn, and the temperature will drop every time it rains, but the Lu family has no clothes to keep out the cold.

"The weather in the north is colder than in the south. The rain makes people shiver."

Zhang Yong threw a piece of firewood into the fire, just hoping to get a little warmer.

When it rained yesterday, a group of people were so happy that they almost cried. If it rained like this in Changzhou, their life would not be so difficult.

It was only the second day, and I couldn't stand the cold. Everyone just wanted to wait for the rain to stop before buying cotton-padded jackets.

Mrs. Sun sighed and said, "Sure enough, the poorer you are, the more things you have to worry about. I already spend money every day like water, but now I have to spend money to buy cotton-padded clothes. How much will it cost?"

Many refugees from the south in Jingzhou must not have prepared cotton-padded jackets. This year's cotton-padded jackets must be extremely expensive.

With so many people at home, just thinking about it makes my body hurt.

Everyone was speechless for a moment. There was indeed too much money at home, and they felt really unhappy. They did not help much all day long, but only added to the burden.Just when everyone was dejected, He Jiuniang said: "Even those in our family who are relatively wealthy think it's expensive, let alone ordinary people. I think we can do this business."

"Doing business? How?"

Zhang Song's eyes lit up instantly. He remembered that his third sister-in-law had said before that he would let the two brothers take care of the business, so there was a chance.

Others have also become interested. They have been digging for medicinal materials during this period and have indeed made some money. However, the Lu family now spends a lot of money every day, and they are still somewhat unable to make ends meet. But if they start another business, the situation at home may It will be much better.

"Since we know that cold-proof clothes are easy to sell, we will specialize in cold-proof products. And as long as they are cheaper than ordinary stores, business will definitely be good!"

He Jiuniang had already made up her mind. Cotton was very expensive in this era and not everyone could afford it. Most people used animal skins to keep out the cold, but there were not many animal skins here, and better leathers were also sold. Very expensive.

"We only sell feather quilts and feather clothing!"

Yes, it’s feathers, not down!
The cost of making down is quite high, and selling it to aristocratic families is about the same, but for ordinary people, it is more practical to use feathers.

"What kind of feather clothes and quilts? You don't want to use feathers instead of cotton to fill the clothes, do you?"

Sun frowned, always feeling that this was not a good idea.

How much hair does that cost?And will anyone buy those ones with weird fur and smelly hair?
"That's right! It's just filling clothes with feathers. Although it's not as good as cotton, it's much better than having no clothes at all."

He Jiuniang smiled, and then explained her thoughts without waiting for anyone to ask questions.

First, men go to restaurants to collect feathers from chickens, ducks and geese. In those places, many poultry are killed every day, and the feathers are usually thrown away. They spend money to buy them, and the other party will definitely be willing to sell them.

Secondly, women are responsible for washing the feathers at home so that they don't smell bad, and then drying them and stuffing them.

Finally, the men take the finished products out for sale.

"This is a good idea. Let us two brothers do the feather collecting thing!"

Zhang Song stood up very actively. Feather collection was considered a dirty job. Most of the Zhang family brothers were taken care of by the Lu family, so they should be allowed to do this kind of work.

He Jiuniang originally wanted to leave this matter to the Zhang brothers, but she simply felt that since they had done business before, they should be more flexible.

"Okay, then I'll help you two brothers-in-law. You can be more eloquent and lower the price."

Zhang Song responded in one breath: "Okay, okay!"

Mr. Lu and Mr. Lu looked at each other in confusion: "What about us?"

"You? Of course you are building a house at home, is it possible that your father and I still have to take care of things at home?"

Mrs. Sun started to curse again, and Boss Lu suddenly didn't dare to speak. Ever since Qian Tieshu discovered their flaws, my mother had treated several of them, especially him, with a completely different face and a nose that was not his nose. Very old.

Lu Laoer replied dryly, and then fell into silence again.

"that……"

Old Man Lu suddenly spoke, glanced at Mrs. Sun, but didn't know how to continue, so he smacked his mouth twice and rubbed his hands.

"Let it go!"

What Mrs. Sun disliked the most was Old Man Lu's hesitant look, like an old woman.

The two elders were talking, but the younger ones didn't dare to interrupt. Old Man Lu thought it wasn't too embarrassing, so he said, "That kid Xiaoyang came to me again to report, saying that the Qian family has stopped trying to cause trouble. He can’t live any longer, and he still wants us to find him some work..."
