Chapter 566 The best sister-in-law in the world!
Li Laoer gritted his teeth angrily, "It's true that the same rice feeds all kinds of people. Those seriously ill old people know how to struggle, sweep the yard, and burn a kang. These people are better off. They go out to wander during the day, and come back to eat and sleep when they are hungry. , Do you really think this is his home?”
"Having the heart of a Bodhisattva, you can use thunderous tactics." The Marquis responded calmly, "When it's time to show kindness, you must show kindness, but when it's time to establish your authority, you must also scare these people at once. Don't be afraid if something happens. , I’m back, even if the sky falls, no one can touch the Li family.”
These words are really domineering. Although Li Laoer has no intention of killing everyone, he can't help but get excited.
It feels so good to have someone to support you!
And the good news is that he is already holding up a piece of snack and looking at his adoptive father, his eyes are full of adoring little stars!
Noble status, handsome appearance, domineering, these are the standard features of the protagonist!
It just so happens that such a good man doesn’t want to get married yet, and there are so many effeminate people in Xindu who tear the veil behind their back...
Mr. Hou felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by the little girl. He raised his hand and knocked her in confusion.
Then, he said to Li Laoer: "We won the battle this time. The emperor was very happy and gave the tens of thousands of soldiers under my command the name of the Northern Expeditionary Army. All food, drink, clothing and supplies must be given priority by the Ministry of War.
"In a few days, I will think of a way to distribute some small jobs such as shoes. You can lead people to do them well. Maybe one day I can get all the jobs."
“But it can’t be done for the time being. The military supply business involves too many interests, and it can easily cause trouble for you and your family.”
“Okay, okay!” Li Laoer was so happy that he nodded in agreement.
He did not look down upon this "little job" at all!
You know, tens of thousands of people have shoes, even if they distribute a few thousand pairs, it will be enough for the young and old at the Relief Department to be busy for a month!
This is a good start. If the news spreads, the Relief Department may receive other jobs in the future.
After all, for the same amount of money, or even cheaper, you can do the work you need to do and do good deeds. Everyone is willing to give it a try, right? !
After sitting for a while, the Marquis returned to Suijintan with the good news.
Li Laoer stood in front of the door and did not turn back to the yard until the carriage was far away.
An old man who was blind in one eye came out of the stove and said to Mr. Li with a smile: "Master Li, when the porridge is ready, when are you going to ring the bell?"
The Relief Department’s yard is too big and there are too many houses. A bell must be rung every time a meal is served, so that people from all over the place will rush to line up when they hear the noise.
If someone is really sick and unable to move, someone in the same room will take him back.
Because money and food were limited, there were more than 700 people eating.
So recently, the Relief Department has been serving two meals a day. Breakfast is served at three o'clock in the morning, and dinner is served in the middle of the afternoon.
Li Laoer said, "Now that the porridge is ready, let's ring the bell."
The old man hesitated for a moment, then quietly pointed to the lazy men under the wall and asked: "Sir, do they... also want to give me porridge? Yesterday, they complained that the porridge was too thin, so they asked for an extra bowl.
"Moreover, the porridge sent to the patients at the back was also snatched away by them. It was really shameful. Not only that, they occupied a house and refused to let others live in it, but they also had others to cook the kang. No matter how much they took care of it, , I’m afraid the Relief Department will have the final say.”
The old man didn't know whether he was angry or afraid that Li Laoer wouldn't care. His words sounded unpleasant both inside and outside.
Li Laoer smiled and said calmly: "Go and do your work. I have my own arrangements."
The blind old man laughed dryly and quickly responded and entered the kitchen...
I won’t say how it was at the Relief Department. I just said that Marquis and Jiayin bought a lot of snacks on the way and returned to Suijintan. I happened to meet the naughty boys after school. When they saw Mr. Hou getting out of the car, they all rushed forward to salute. They all smiled in a coy and honest way, completely losing their usual naughty look.
The Marquis was so funny that he guessed what they were thinking, so he gave them some snacks and told them: "If you want to ride a horse, let my soldiers take you for a few laps, but you can't ride secretly, or you may break your leg. You know ?!"
“I know, thank you, Lord!” the boys shouted in unison, going crazy with joy.
They took the snacks and ran home like crazy. They threw down their schoolbags and rushed to cut the freshest weeds, and then sent them to the Ye family yard to bribe the war horses.
When the war horses are full and happy, they will no longer reject them. They can ride on them for a while or help wash them.
Jiayin doesn’t have this hobby. She ran home long ago to hug her grandma’s lap.
Old Mrs. Li is taking Wenjuan to do needlework. Wenjuan may have just finished vomiting and is a little weak.
Jiayin quickly broke off a piece of the sweet-scented osmanthus candy she bought and brought it to her sister-in-law. She then coaxed her and said, "Sister-in-law, my second brother is coming back to stay tonight, and just now he said he was going to the south of the city to buy you pickled plums!"
Sure enough, Wenjuan immediately opened her eyes and said angrily: "He is so busy and tired, and he still cares about what I am doing!"
Jiayin's eyes widened and she shouted, "Why can't I worry about her anymore? My sister-in-law is pregnant with my second brother's child. It's such a hard work, so of course my second brother should be nicer to my sister-in-law."
Wenjuan's face turned redder, she hugged her sister-in-law, tidied her slightly messy hair, and finally said to Mrs. Li: "Grandma, do you know that when I married into our family, I was most happy to have Fu Niu'er, my sister-in-law.
“My sister-in-law will try her best to steal things from her sister-in-law, beg for money, and will go to her mother-in-law to complain if nothing happens. Our Fu Niuer not only doesn’t do this, but also provides clothes and jewelry for my sister-in-law, and even has a small business to make money!
"Ever since I became pregnant, she has treated me like a baby. Grandma, I almost woke up laughing in my dreams. If I tell you such a thing, others will probably turn red with envy."
When Mrs. Li heard her granddaughter being praised, her heart felt sweeter than honey. She couldn't help but echoed: "This girl is a born sensible child. When she was born, our family was fleeing from famine on the road. There were so many Suffer.
“This child never cried once. Even when she was very hungry at night, she didn’t cry. She just felt sorry for her mother who was tired during the day and wanted her mother and the rest of the family to sleep a little longer.
“Tell me, whose child is like this? How can the whole family not feel sorry for her?!”
Hearing the good news, he blushed and hurried over to hug his grandma's neck, acting cute and cute, "Grandma taught me everything. Fu Niu'er learned it from her."
“Oh, grandma’s fat girl is the best at making grandma happy!”
Mrs. Li smiled happily and turned to see Mr. Hou come in. She remembered the half-carriage of fabrics that had just been sent from the city and said quickly: "Master Hou, why did you send so many things to my family again? If you need it at home, just go and buy it." , but it’s not good to always let you suffer..."
"Auntie, we are all part of the same family. We can't talk about taking advantage of others." Mr. Hou sat next to the old lady and said with a smile: "You also know that there are no women in my house, so those materials are lying around in vain, and we have to worry about insects. It’s moldy, why not take it all and use it.”
Old Mrs. Li had no choice but to respond: "Hey, okay, in a few days, Hongying will lead the women in the village to bake mooncakes. When the time comes, let them bake more and send them over. Don't buy extra from the Hou Mansion. Yes, you know?”
"Okay, aunt. You don't need to tell anyone else about this. Just tell Fu Niu'er. I left the Hou Mansion to her today. From now on, I will ask her to go to the city every few days and visit the Hou Mansion. ”
The Marquis said it casually, and he didn’t think it was shocking to leave such a large Marquis mansion to a child...
