"My mother's embroidery work is first-rate. How about this embroidery workshop mother taking charge of the overall situation?" Tian Maimiao asked Zhen with a smile.
In fact, she felt in her heart that Zhen's focus was on her sister-in-law, and it would be better to let Qiuniang take charge of the embroidery workshop, but out of respect, she still had to ask her mother-in-law for her opinion.
Madam Zhen waved her hand and said, "I'm not even good at housekeeping, let alone doing business. It's your grandmother and two who are in charge of the overall situation. Your grandmother's skills are unmatched by the longevity stars in the entire Nanguan Town."
Mrs. Zhen knows her mother-in-law very well.
Even though he is old, he does not accept old age at all and his body is strong.
And she found that Mrs. Bai was indeed very relaxed these days since Xie Chuntao became the housekeeper, but she always showed a hint of disappointment. Old Mrs. Bai was not born to lie down and enjoy life, otherwise she would not go to Aunt Hu's house every night, saying she was chatting with Aunt Hu, but in fact she was helping Aunt Hu sew masks.
Sure enough, Mrs. Bai's eyes lit up when she heard Mrs. Zhen's suggestion, but she didn't say anything nice: "You even have grandchildren, but you still don't know how to take care of the house. That's why the second son just said that you are our daughter-in-law's fate." The best thing is yes. You have a daughter who loves you, a filial daughter-in-law, and you don’t have to worry about family matters... Isn’t it just an embroidery workshop? You can’t even take care of it? God damn it, I still have to take care of this matter ?”
With an honest and respectful look, Mrs. Zhen flattered the old lady: "Who says it's not the case? Who told you to always be able to do it? Mom, you are not responsible for any aspect of our family. Mom, if you don't care about the embroidery workshop, those more powerful people in our village will Daughters-in-law, Qiuniang and Mai Miao are two young and tender-faced girls who can’t hold them back, so I have to rely on you.”
When Mrs. Bai heard this, she still kept her airs.
The main reason is that when Xie Chuntao was the housekeeper, Mrs. Bai made it clear that she would let go of everything in the family. Now if she takes over the job of controlling the embroidery workshop, she will not be able to live with her face.
Xiao Fuyuan was eating the fruit while quietly observing Mrs. Bai's face.
Hey, what a arrogant old lady.
Xiao Fuyuan quietly moved to Mrs. Bai, leaned on her shoulder and said coquettishly: "Grandma, mother is right, the embroidery workshop depends on you. Could it be that grandma feels that she is getting old and can't take care of it anymore?"
Xiao Fuyuan used the provoking method.
Mrs. Bai slapped her thigh and said loudly: "Let go...who said I'm old? I'm not saying that. No one at my age in our village is as good as me. My teeth haven't turned or turned white, and my body is strong and I don't need a crutch. Last time I went to Huaihe In the city, Mrs. Zhou even envies my appetite."
Old Mrs. Bai called out to Amitabha in her heart, and just now she almost didn't stop and said something bad in front of her granddaughter.
If someone says that Mrs. Bai is old, she will definitely go up and beat you until you accept it. Fortunately, this was said by Xiao Fuyuan, the favorite of the whole family. As soon as the old lady Bai turned her head to face the little face as pink as a flower, her heart softened into a puddle, and her anger had long been thrown into Java.
"Grandma said she agreed. That's great." Xiao Fuyuan clapped her hands and said happily.
Old Mrs. Bai nodded and pretended to sigh: "God damn it... This embroidery workshop requires me to say that Qiuniang is the most suitable person to take charge of the overall situation. The last time I left the mask matter to Qiuniang, she did a good job. Even the general boast."
Qiuniang waved her hands repeatedly and said: "Grandma, that mask is just a small show, the embroidery workshop is really serious, I can't do it."
The embroidery studio does not simply teach embroiderers to embroider. They need to understand the latest embroidery methods on the market, and they must not lose money.
She has never done business.
So Qiuniang's worries are justified.
"You are young, you don't know how to learn? You live in my house, and you have to make money for my family. That's it, you will take charge of the embroidery workshop, and I will keep an eye on it for you. If you don't understand anything, ask me. Me." Old Mrs. Bai made a serious face.
"Sister Qiu, you can do it." Xiao Fuyuan said.
"Yes, my sister said so, you can definitely do it." Tian Maimiao advised from the side.
Qiuniang could only nod her head and took over the work of the embroidery workshop.
At this time, it was Eugene Gui who felt uncomfortable.
All the women in Lao Bai's family have the final say. Mrs. Bai's hidden boss has the power of life and death in the family. Xie Chuntao is now in charge of everything, and Tian Maimiao is in charge of the most profitable shop in the family.
Not to mention my sister-in-law, she has a transcendent status in the family and no one can shake her. A word can decide the direction of things.
The mother-in-law seems to not care about anything, but with the sister-in-law as a big killer, she is the great contributor to the Lao Bai family.
Even Qiuniang, a non-staff member, can take charge of the Bai family's upcoming embroidery workshop.
Embroidery workshop, is that the same as the stove? That was another profitable business for the Bai family.
Now, she is the only decent third daughter-in-law without any real power.
Eugene Gui picked up Xiao Lang and decided to hug his sister-in-law's thigh tightly from now on.
"The embroidery workshop will have to trouble Auntie. Your needlework is good, and I will guide the embroidery girls in the village." Qiuniang said to Zhen.
Mrs. Zhen nodded and said, "That's natural. I still have a few special skills to pass on to you."
Zhen's specialty was originally created by her grandmother in the Zhen family and passed on to her. Because she was the daughter of a guilty minister, she never dared to show it to others for fear of being discovered and implicating the entire Bai family.
But there is no need to worry now. Her aunt is the Queen Mother, so what if it is discovered that she is a descendant of the Zhen family?
She originally planned to pass this embroidery job to Xiao Fuyuan, but Xiao Fuyuan has no interest in needlework. Of the three daughters-in-law, only the elder is somewhat good at needlework, but she is far behind Qiuniang.
Anyway, this embroidery job will disappear if it is not passed down, so it is better to pass it on to the embroiderer.
Zhen made up her mind.
It's getting dark outside.
Xie Chuntao stood up and said, "I'm going to cook. The third brother brought pork and lamb legs. Whatever you want to eat, sister-in-law, my sister-in-law will cook it for you."
Tian Maimiao was pregnant, and besides her sister-in-law, she was naturally the oldest.
Xie Chuntao couldn't wait to say: "Sister-in-law, I just want to eat your fried beans with big white steamed buns."
Xie Chuntao smiled.
"What's so difficult about this? It's enough."
Xie Chuntao said and went to the kitchen, and Qiuniang followed.
In the room, Mrs. Zhen and Mrs. Bai once again told Tian Maimiao to take care of herself and not to get tired.
"It's so inconvenient for you to be in the town. Sanzhuang always goes to Huaicheng during this period. Why don't you stay at home? There are many people to take care of." Zhen suggested.
Tian Maimiao declined. She felt that she was not feeling unwell, and besides, she couldn't live without people in the shop.
Xie Chuntao and Qiuniang are both quick people, and they quickly put together a large table of dishes.
Arita Maimiao ordered fried beans, braised pork, mutton soup, and a basket of big steamed buns.
When the Bai family was sitting down and using chopsticks, Liu Yishou from the mansion opposite came in with Sanlang carrying a food box.
"This is the food that Uncle He asked me to prepare for Sister Mai Miao." Liu Yi said while placing the food box on the table, "Bird's nest, ginseng chicken soup, fried wolfberry sprouts..."
"Uncle He said, if Sister Mai Miao wants to eat, just tell me, or ask someone to tell him, and I will send it to the town for you."
"Okay. You tell my godfather and I'll go see him after dinner." Tian Maimiao agreed readily.
After Liu Yishou left, the Bai family started to eat.
There is no rule in the countryside that people should eat without speaking, and the Bai family is no exception.
So Mrs. Bai told Bai Banban and his son about her plan to open an embroidery workshop in the village, and naturally everyone had no objections.
