    Mrs. Li was a little hesitant. Twenty coins can buy a pound of fine meat, but the shoes on Cuizhi's feet were indeed very tempting to her.

    ¡°Can we have fewer folks from the countryside?¡±

    Cuizhi was about to speak when she looked up and saw the village chief's third daughter-in-law coming back from outside and heading to the wing.

    Cuizhi had an idea and shouted hello to her third daughter-in-law.

    "Xiao Tao, you just arrived in the third year of junior high school. What are you doing when you go out?"

    Mrs. Li looked back, hurriedly counted twenty coins and stuffed them into Cuizhi's hand. She lowered her voice and said, "Put it away quickly. Don't let her see it. Remember to ask your sister-in-law to embroider carefully."

    As soon as Cuizhi put away the copper plate, Xiao Tao walked up to her, "I'm going to wash some clothes by the river. Sister Cuizhi, what are you doing here? The shoes on your feet are really rare!"

    Mrs. Li rushed to say, "I think the shoes on Cuizhi's feet look good, so I spent a few pennies to ask her to embroider them for me."

    Xiao Tao became more energetic when she heard this, "How many cents is it? Is it the money you and dad took? Or is it that my sister-in-law secretly hid her private money?"

    Cuizhi was trying to smooth things over, "I owe the money on credit. Your sister-in-law said she would give it to me after telling Uncle Chen. I'm a fellow villager who knows everything about it, so it doesn't matter if I owe it for a few days."

    Mrs. Li nodded, "It's not like you don't know what's going on at home, but I'm wondering, where can I hide my private money? Did you suspect me because you hid it?"

    "Oh?" Xiao Tao was dubious and turned to Cuizhi, "How much does it cost to embroider a pair? Dad is a fair man. Since my sister-in-law has it, I also have it, so embroider a pair for me too."

    Cuizhi lowered his head and smiled, "You prepare the fabric yourself. The whole pair costs 40 renminbi. If you only want to embroider 20 renminbi, bring your own silk thread 18 renminbi."

    "Whatever my sister-in-law does, I will do it."

    Cuizhi told Xiao Tao, and Xiao Tao said, "Sister Cuizhi, wait a minute. I have silk thread. I'll go in and get it for you."

    Xiao Tao turned around and entered the room. Li looked at Cuizhi gratefully, "Thank you for your cleverness."

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    It¡¯s also her father-in-law¡¯s fault. If they split up the family and live in separate lives, they wouldn¡¯t have to stretch out their hands for even a penny.

    When her mother-in-law passed away, she was secretly glad that she didn't want to separate the family. Her father-in-law still held the power of the family tightly in his hands, his brother-in-law only knew how to spend money, and his two sisters-in-law were not economical.

    These days are getting more and more frustrating as time goes by.

    "It's okay." Cuizhi smiled all over her face. Just as Xiao Tao came out with the materials, Cuizhi took two pieces of work and walked back.

    If nothing else happens, the village chief¡¯s second daughter-in-law will also come to visit in a few days, and that¡¯s three copies. After all, the second daughter-in-law is a more difficult master to get along with, so how can she lose her own share?

    Ms. Li is grateful to Cuizhi for helping her hide it, but the biggest beneficiary is Cuizhi.

    Cuizhi returned home and handed the two materials to Dongqing, "Here, Dongqing, you are really talented. If you can embroider a pair of patterns in one day, you can earn seventeen or eighty yuan that day."

    Dongqing made some calculations and ignored the possibility of not getting any work. Eighteen cents a day would only make more than sixty taels a year.

    But it was impossible for her to go without food, and she had to share some of the work Cuizhi helped with. It would be difficult to make a living after a year, so how could she raise money to become a naturalized citizen?

    "It's far from enough" Only by working in the fields during the day to ensure a living, and studying embroidery with Jin Yu at night, can we hope to save a few taels of silver in a year.

    Seeing Dongqing's gloomy face, the big dog was a little uneasy, "Holly do you know that Ergou and I went to the town to do coolies. Each of us only had fifteen cents a day, and you could collect ten cents with just a few clicks of your fingers.  Why is eight articles not enough?"

    Dongqing twitched the corners of her lips, "It's good, I just said it casually."

    After dinner, Dongqing fed the three wolves, and before it was completely dark, she sat by the window and matched the colors of the fabric she had brought back.

    The next day, a circle of white fish belly appeared on the horizon. Dongqing got up, washed up, picked up the fabric and started embroidering.

    Xiaotao's fabric was light green, and the silk thread she brought was pink. Holly sketched a few peach blossoms on the fabric, and with her remaining white silk thread, she embroidered a peach blossom with gradient colors, budding and delicate, just like  Just snapped off the branch.

    Li¡¯s fabric was blue and she didn¡¯t bring any silk thread. Considering that Li was twenty-seven or eighty-eight years old, Dongqing used the remaining silk thread to embroider some elegant and colorful butterflies for Li.

    The butterfly danced lightly and was placed together with Xiaotao's fabric. The butterfly seemed to come to life in a moment and pounced on the clothes next to it.Go back, "It's not a lot of money, just a few dozen coins. If you earn it by yourself, you can keep it for yourself and buy some women's things."

    Dongqing put the copper plate away silently, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

    Cuizhi smiled and said: "That's what I said. How can a family not thank you? Let's eat quickly. We are starving to death."

    "Um."

    After dinner, Dongqing took the three wolves with her and followed Cuizhi and others to the fields. She wanted to adapt to the farming life of the farm as soon as possible.

    Walking on the road, Dongqing looked in the direction of the back mountain. The path between the mountains was like a twine, and there were no pedestrians returning on it.

    Holly is a quick learner. She picked up a hoe and followed Cuizhi, digging up the soil in the field, breaking up the lumps of soil, and raking them flat.

    Cuizhi looked at Holly from time to time, fearing that Holly wouldn't be able to adapt to the ground for the first time, but she saw that Holly's face was red and there were beads of sweat on her forehead, and she didn't slack off at all.

    In the afternoon, Cuizhi¡¯s sharp eyes saw several blisters on Dongqing¡¯s hands.

    "Holly, go back. It's almost time to make dinner when you get home. Let's take our time. One bite won't make you fat."

    She raised her eyes and looked at the height of the sun. Although the sun was still high, Holly accepted Cuizhi's kindness. After a while, the blisters on her hands should burst, and the gain was not worth the loss.

    "Then I'm going back. Let's go home, three wolves."

    The three wolves were under the shade of a tree in the distance. When they heard Holly calling home, they immediately got up and ran to Holly's side happily.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
