A leisurely life with Lingquan

Chapter 216 Come to Borrow Shed (2)
"Eh..." Mrs. Zhang was a little embarrassed, but after thinking about it, she said, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just... I learned about a profitable business at my natal family some time ago, but because my family's land is not big enough, I wanted to Borrow your shed."

"What are you doing, sister-in-law?" Li Xi decided to ask clearly before talking.

Seeing Li Xi's appearance that he would not back down unless he understood, Xiao Zhang also had no choice but to sit next to Li Xi and lowered his voice, as if afraid of being heard: "I'm really not happy with you, I got some silkworm eggs, I'm going to raise silkworms, the house is not big, so I miss you."

"Silkworm raising?" Li Xi has raised silkworms before. His family has raised silkworms before, and he knows something about it, so he said, "Silkworms eat mulberry leaves. There are no mulberry leaves in our village. How do you raise them?"

"Hey, we don't have any in our village, but my mother's village has them, and there are quite a few." Xiao Zhang laughed: "A few years ago, people from my mother's family raised silkworms, but every time there were many silkworms. Many people lost money even if they got sick and died.”

"Isn't that the case, the silkworm farmers at my natal family gradually stopped."

Li Xi doesn't have any other feelings about silkworm raising. The only thing she remembers is that when she was a child, she was still feeding silkworms when it was dark. She was very tired. She really didn't want to raise any silkworms.

"Then, why do you still dare to raise it?" Li Xi admired Xiao Zhang's boldness.

"What, you think I don't know. They raise silkworms in that one piece of land. It's no wonder how they grow so well that they don't get sick. I didn't raise them this time. The family was fine at first, but now they're getting bigger. I'm worried about not having enough space, don't worry, Xi'er, I'll raise it here for a season, you can use it anytime you want." Xiao Zhang pleaded: "Oh, I'm also for this family, look at your big brother Zhao Yuan I am so tired every day, and I only earn so little money. Although my father-in-law is the village head, the family will not earn much because of it, and my uncle, not my sister-in-law, who is studying in school, earns a monthly salary. Money is like flowing water, if I don’t think of a way for the family, how will I live in the future.”

The corners of Li Xi's mouth twitched a little in the face of Xiao Zhang's cry of poverty, but seeing how pitiful she said, her greenhouse is indeed useless now, and it is estimated that it will be next year, so it's okay to borrow it.

"It's okay..." Hurrying to stop Xiao Zhang's joy, Li Xi continued: "But it can only be ordinary, my house is not big, and many things for raising chickens and ducks can only be placed in the greenhouse, so only ordinary "It's my own greenhouse, and Li Xi didn't have any other embarrassments, and made it clear.

"This..." Mrs. Zhang was really dissatisfied, but seeing Li Xi's expression clearly said that there was no way, what else could she do, it would be great if she could lend it.

"That's a good relationship. I'll tell my father-in-law when I get back. I'll move the things here tomorrow. Xi'er, just work hard to move the things and make room for me."

Staring at Xiao Zhang's back, Li Xi was upset. He borrowed this big shed, and he still needs some rent. Now it's all right. When I asked for help just now, it's like nothing. Now I agree. It's enough for her to come to this wasteful place. up.

"Okay, I see, sister-in-law, go back quickly." Li Xi endured it even if he didn't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face.

Later in the evening, Li Xi found an opportunity to tell Uncle Li about this matter, but the latter had no other thoughts but worried, "Can I not watch this night?"

"It's ok, there's Ah Hei here, you don't know about it yet, don't look at the way it usually doesn't bark, it's really scary to bite people." Ah Hei, Li Xi still believes in it very much.

"In this way, I can rest assured. Well, I will go around more when I have nothing to do in the future." Uncle Li thought that he would be lonely all his life, and when he was really old, it would be the same thing to care for the elderly, but now he has a helper here. For errands, if you save up money well, you can still save up for the coffin when you are old, so you will treat Li Xi and Zhao Mu more sincerely.

"Well, I'm sorry to trouble you, sir." It's easy to be young, and Li Xi is very grateful to him.

On the third day, the shed was cleaned up, and the wooden boards in the middle also meant to separate. After that, the second uncle came over in the afternoon, bowed his head and thought for a while, and then said: "This is also because the second uncle took advantage of you. Rent child."

"Second Uncle, are you trying to scare us? This shed is idle, so you can just use it, but don't mention the matter of renting a house, otherwise I will be ashamed of others." Li Xi didn't plan to charge any money at all. of.

The village chief took a puff of his cigarette and knew that what he said was wrong. After thinking about it, he said: "I told Zhao Yuan's wife that this season, if it is good, I will build one myself next year." It's just a big shed. It's not like Li Xi's family can build five at a time, but one can still work.

"My sister-in-law Zhao Yuan is so capable, and my second uncle is also a blessing." They are all from poor families, and it is not easy for anyone. Li Xi has no grudges in taking over the shed.

"En, it's okay." The second uncle was still angry. Little Zhang came to borrow a shed from Li Xi without telling him, which made him really angry. If it wasn't for Zhang's persuasion, he would not want to borrow it. He gritted his teeth and went all out.

When it was getting late, the second uncle, Zhao Yuan, and the second aunt of Zhang's family moved all the silkworms from their home together. It was so cold now that the silkworms would not be damaged by freezing.

"Here are two paper silkworms." Li Xi looked at these densely packed silkworms and said.

"Well, one and a half sheets." Xiao Zhang proudly said: "I take care of them every day, and look after them, how nice it is."

"After raising my sister-in-law, you still want to raise her?"

"Of course, silk is so expensive now, and silk can be sold for a lot of money." Xiao Zhang also made up her mind to raise silkworm seeds after seeing the profits. Silkworm seeds also cost her a lot, so she should earn more anyway.

"There are no mulberry trees in our village. If you want to live long, it's not good to keep using your natal family's." Xiao Zhang's family is well-raised, and others will follow suit. Even if there are not enough mulberry leaves, her natal family will not worry about her too much.

"This..." At first, I thought it would be fine to have my natal family, but now I don't think so. After all, it belongs to my natal family, not my own.

"Go back and think about it carefully." Li Xi is just giving advice, don't raise silkworms, but can't feed them.
