The skilled widow is busy farming

Before leaving, Xiuniang wrote something to Erqing, which was a supplement to the new rules. Those who are willing to make their own way out in everything can borrow money from the clan if they don't have enough money.

There are two methods, borrow money and pay back the money, and get [-]% of the profit; the second is that your business clan will take one share, and will share [-]% of the profit afterwards. If something happens, the clan will find a way for you and prevent you from leaving the business.

If you are willing to go out on your own, you can come and ask.

Er Qing also plans to work in an embroidery shop in the capital. It would be a pity not to work with such a powerful tapestry embroidery expert as Xiu Niang, but he is too busy now and has to wait until Li Yan's silk becomes more mature and the supply becomes stable.

However, the embroidery shop has opened. Currently, it sells items from its own workshop and embroidery fabrics on a small scale. It also buys items from other companies and resells them at a price difference, laying the foundation for opening an embroidery shop in the future.

Li Qun sent Xiu Niang to the boat, chattering non-stop all the way, and kept telling her not to be too tired. If you teach the apprentice more, you should stop knitting yourself, like a housekeeper.

"Okay, I'm on the boat. You go back. If you have time, go see Xiaojing and buy some gadgets. I don't care how precious you buy them, but what matters is your heart. You choose Xiaojing's things yourself. Don't try to trick others, learn your skills from your father-in-law and uncle."

"I got it. Mom, please take care of yourself. Brother Chun, don't be naughty. You have to do your homework seriously. I'm waiting for your good news. If you let me know you are doing something wrong, I will beat you."

"I know, you're too long-winded. Let's go."

Brother Chun took his mother to the cabin. The third brother was so verbose that calluses appeared on his ears.

"This brat is disgusted with me."

The group of brothers smiled helplessly.

"We're leaving, take care of yourself."

After bidding farewell to her son and others, Xiuniang returned to her hometown by boat.

As soon as the boat started to move, Brother Chun surrounded his mother and started chattering with his little mouth.

"Mom, my third brother's wife looks very powerful. She should be able to control my third brother tightly. Mom, my third brother is unfilial. From now on, you can live with me."

Xiu Niang couldn't help laughing, and even Li Kang from the second uncle's house laughed.

"You brat, your brother knows you said bad things about him, so why don't you want him to hit you?"

Brother Chun hugged his mother's waist, "My third brother married a noble girl, and he will definitely not be able to provide for my mother in the future. I can, I just marry a village girl, and let my mother take care of my mother-in-law's money."

Xiu Niang laughed loudly after hearing this and rubbed her son's head. "Silly boy, I don't need to show off. I like to stay in my hometown and study in my clan, and then I will be very happy."

"That's right, what do you know, little brat? There are so many people in the clan school who can take care of my aunt. At worst, I can also provide for my aunt in her old age."

Li Kang proudly raised his chin to his younger brother.

Brother Chun suddenly became anxious, "Why are there so many people trying to rob my mother? Don't you have a biological mother? Don't rob me."

"That's not okay. Auntie belongs to everyone, not just you. Even if your two brothers are unfilial, there are still me, the eldest brother, the second brother, the third brother, and the younger uncle and the others. You can't be ranked."

"I, no, this is my mother."

Brother Chun stomped his feet angrily, making a group of people laugh. He pouted and nestled in his mother's arms.

We went back to the village laughing and joking all the way, but Brother Chun was the only one who was unhappy. He was being restrained and endorsed by his mother every day. In his free time, he spent time playing chess, calligraphy, painting and practicing boxing. Anyway, he was fulfilled.

"Great grandpa, great grandma, I'm back."

As soon as Brother Chun returned to the village, Sayazi ran away, which was considered liberated.

"Ouch! My baby grandson is back. Let me see how thin he is. My baby has lost a lot of weight."

"I don't eat enough. There are too many fish but not enough meat on the boat. I'm tired of eating fish every day. Great-grandmother, I want to eat a handful of meat. I'm so greedy."

Brother Chun pestered the old lady and her mother-in-law like candy, which made them feel distressed. The mother-in-law immediately got up and went to cook meat for her grandson. "Mom, don't spoil him, he doesn't eat less meat."

"You won't let my grandson eat his stutter. You're so stingy."

The mother-in-law glared at her angrily, ignored her, and went to cook meat for her grandson.

Xiuniang gave her son a helpless look. Brother Chun stuck out his tongue and made a face, holding a gift to make the old man happy. He snuggled in the old man's arms and played with them. He saw his grandfather and grandma giggling happily.

"Grandma, Qing'er is staying in the capital. I'm thinking about asking my sister-in-law to arrange marriage arrangements. It just so happens that my elder brother and sister-in-law are also staying there to help."

"Okay, the child is older, it's time to kiss him."

Grandma smiled.

After resting for two days, Xiu Niang went to study at the Clan Academy. She brought back a lot of books, as well as examination papers from past imperial examinations and papers and notes from relatives and students from various families. These things were very precious. She brought them back to enrich the library and give them to her. The children gain insights.

What's left is to teach the disciples in the weaving workshop. After collecting the money, naturally I have to teach others well, but this is a long-term job and I can't rush it for a while.

My aunt and the boys in the weaving workshop have already become masters. They can weave many patterns on Yun brocade. They have begun to learn to weave small tapestry patterns, and the weaving workshop also has its first batch of skilled hands.

This year, the Li family has made several marriage arrangements, all of which have been personally inspected by the clan elders.

Since Xiu Niang reminded her second uncle last time, everyone who wants to get married, regardless of gender, must check their pulse to make sure they are healthy before proceeding to the next step, let alone fishing in troubled waters.

The second uncle expected that boys would have health problems. There would always be one or two with real problems, but he didn’t expect that girls would also have problems. Some of them would not be able to conceive. This was what the doctor said, not his random guess. It's really sick.

This frightened the second uncle. From now on, whenever anyone wants to get married, regardless of whether he is a man or a woman, he must have his pulse checked before making any decision. If he is marrying into the family or marrying out, won't it be a disaster for the child?

People like this should also make a note of it, and be careful when dealing with them in the future, it’s such a scam.

The grandfather of the clan has established new clan rules. Relatives within the Five Fortunes are not allowed to get married again, and blood cannot be turned back.

When Xiu Niang came back this time, she planned to weave some clothes, build a brand for the weaving workshop, and develop new methods.

The girls worked together and drew many beautiful patterns. Xiu Niang selected some and instructed everyone to start weaving. The finished product should be very amazing. With such good materials and new styles, it should be easy to sell when sent to the capital.

The three aunts weaved small kang screens with different patterns, and the patterns and colors were very beautiful. After they were sent, each picture was sold for 300 taels of silver.

It was the first time for the aunts to make pictures, so they were very cautious. They didn't expect to sell them for so much money. Even if the weaving workshop took 100%, there would still be more than [-] taels. Several aunts secretly cried.

Usually the money will be available at the end of the month. As soon as the aunts got the money, they took the whole family and bought gifts for Xiu Niang.

"What is this for? We are all from the same village. Take it back quickly."

"Xiu'er, please accept it. I have to teach my child how to behave. I can't be an ungrateful person. This is my thank you gift. Without you, my family can't survive. Next year, my family will build a house and give my child a wife. , I can also save up my daughter’s dowry, Xiu’er, thank you, aunt.”

The aunt's eyes were red and she blessed her.

"Auntie, you are where you are today because you are willing to endure hardships and work hard. If you are perseverant, brave and independent enough, there will be no obstacles that you cannot overcome. If you teach this to your children, it will last a lifetime."

"Well said, you brats, learn a lesson and don't look down on your illiterate mother, who can endure more hardships than you."

Grandpa also nodded to the children with his hands.

"Yes."

The children bowed respectfully, with admiration on their faces.
