"Daughter-in-law, you must not be confused. If you go out like this, the bachelors in other villages will make plans for you!"

"You are now the mother of three children. My eldest brother and I both have a biological daughter. We can't live without you, my wife!"

"Yes, yes, my brother is right, daughter-in-law, you really can't be impulsive. You have to know that our family spent eight taels of silver to marry you! This kind of money is not something ordinary people can afford!" If you were kidnapped by someone from another village in such a confused way, how could we two brothers survive the rest of our lives?"

When Chen Yuan heard the two men kneeling in front of her, crying and shouting, all saying such unpleasant things, she became very angry with a cold expression on her face.

"This won't work, that won't work, then tell me, what should our family do?"

"It's true, you are still a man! Can't you bear this kind of hard work?"

"Now I, a woman, am being forced to stand up and take the lead..."

When her two men heard this, they looked particularly uncomfortable. After all, there were other outsiders here, not at home.

However, seeing that their wives were getting angry and filled with resentment, they closed their mouths and became silent.

No way.

It’s difficult for them too!
It’s not easy to make more money now.

Grind tofu every day to make tofu, and then carry a load to other places to sell. Those people outside can't buy much. They can only run from village to village.

They ran for seven or eight hours every day, and just walking on the mountain road every day gave them a lot of blisters on their feet.

Why is it so difficult for this man to raise a family after he gets married?
The two brothers were very depressed.

When Chenyuan saw that they were so hopeless and couldn't fart ten times with a stick, she felt particularly depressed.

"Then what do you think we should do? Should our family stay in the house every day, waiting to starve to death!"

"The little land our family cultivates cannot feed our family at all. In the past, we could grow some flax in the wasteland and fish in the river for food. Now, the fields and rivers have been harvested by others. We, It’s not easy for ordinary people to take advantage. If they are caught, they will be beaten to death.”

When Chen Feiyan heard her say this, he thought about it and then spoke.

"Sister Chenyuan, I also know that you are under a lot of pressure to support your family, but your family is right. You are a woman and you are so careless. I am afraid that if you go to another village, you will be picked up by a group of inexplicable men. Tied up with ropes, or sold, or taken directly to the house to be wives..."

"The world outside is so chaotic, and I won't be reasonable with you at all. They all only talk with their fists. Whoever has a strong fist will listen to whoever..."

"You still need to calm down now. To make money, we have to earn it slowly. Don't you still have such a craft? Recently, our family has been making those kind of embroidered umbrellas. I don't know if you are willing to come, sister. Will our family help?”

Upon hearing such words, Chen Yuan's eyes lit up.

"I do, I do!"

"You don't have to give me wages to help you at home. You don't have to give me the food I need every day. I can go home and eat."

Chen Feiyan smiled and said with a frank look: "No, sister, some people have said before that brothers settle accounts clearly. The closer the relationship is, the more clearly the accounts must be settled, otherwise The relationship between them will be hurt because of money."

"Let's do this. From now on, if you help us make a wooden structure like an embroidered umbrella at our house, I will give you two cents. I will also guarantee you three bowls of rice a day. I don't know what you think, sister. Is this condition acceptable?"

Her two husbands were overjoyed when they heard this. They nodded repeatedly with joy on their faces.

"Okay, okay, this condition is good! Wife, just agree to them!"

"You don't have to worry too much about things at home. From now on, I will take turns doing business with my brother..."

When Chen Yuan heard this, he nodded gently. She was very moved.

He felt that the Feiyan girl in front of him had done him a big favor.

When Chen Feiyan saw the whole family coming over, noisy and crying, she went back happily and happily for a short while. After she closed the door, she faced her husband helplessly. said.

"In the final analysis, this matter is all about poverty!"

Chen Yixuan nodded heavily and said, "Isn't it?"

"A penny can stump a heroic man. If this person is too poor, he will find it difficult to do anything."

"We cannot survive without money for food, clothing, housing and transportation. If you have enough money in your hands, you will unconsciously hold your chest and head high when you go out, and live an upright life."

Chen Feiyan nodded with a smile and said, "This money comes from one person's courage."

“Nothing you do now depends on money.”

"If you have money, you can push the devil, and if you have money, you can open the government office. Our family will still make a lot of money in the future."

Chen Yixuan nodded and smiled.

"I really need to earn more money. As for me, I also have another task, which is to read more books."

"I have now fully realized that for people like us who have fallen to the bottom of society, there seems to be only one quickest and fastest way to change their destiny and make a fortune. That is to obtain fame."

Chen Feiyan nodded solemnly: "Master, you are right!"

"Come on! As for me, I will definitely be more attentive and work harder on making money in the future."

"..."

After the two people talked for a while, Chen Feiyan began to tie the umbrella frame of the embroidered umbrella she had made earlier with hemp threads dyed in four colors, crisscrossing them back and forth and braiding them into warp and weft lines.

This umbrella, while being beautiful and beautiful, must also be strong and durable.

On average, Chen Feiyan can make a beautiful embroidered umbrella every ten days.

Just such a carefully crafted embroidered umbrella can be sold for two hundred pennies in a county shop.

Chen Yixuan has helped her sell three handfuls in the past few days.

In other words, if she makes three embroidered umbrellas a month, she will directly earn 600 yuan.

Excluding the various costs of making embroidered umbrellas, her net profit in a month is about 400 yuan.

However, doing this is too energy-consuming.

It also requires a certain level of aesthetics, which ordinary people cannot do.

Aunt Sun also wanted to learn this and asked her again and again for advice. Chen Feiyan patiently taught her every detail, but for some reason, the embroidered umbrella made by Aunt Sun was not as beautiful as hers.

Aunt Sun was also quite puzzled by this.

She didn't understand. They used the same dyed linen threads to weave the skeletons under the embroidery umbrella, but why did her mother-in-law make them so beautiful?
