When Mrs. Ma heard this, she directly replied: "Mother Yuan, as a relative, we should help you when you are inconvenienced, and you should not say anything about sharing dividends."
Li Yuan came here, and since she wanted to do this, she decided to make it clear. She didn't want her relatives to help her in vain.
Immediately, she shook her head in denial: "Third Aunt, they say that brothers will settle accounts clearly. It's better for us to make it clearer. Zhengzi spends money to study, and when the third brother and sister get pregnant and have children, they will also need money everywhere..."
As soon as Li Yuan said this, she saw Mr. Ma suddenly smiling and changed the subject.
"Third Aunt, looking at your expression, could there be some good news?"
Ma cleared her throat uncomfortably and said with some uncertainty: "Zhengzi's wife's monthly letter is always on time, but it hasn't come until now this month. I wonder if there is one. It's just that Zhengzi has only been back for less than a month. , even if there is, the month is still shallow, and I don’t want to be too impatient, so I didn’t ask a doctor.”
Li Sanhai and his wife were very anxious about having children and grandchildren.
Zhengzi married late because he was studying. Now he has four grandchildren in a big house. The eldest, Miaomiao, is in his early ten years, but there is not even a shadow of their third bedroom.
If they weren't concerned about their son's health and the vegetables in the greenhouse that needed to be picked, they all wished that after their son arrived at Zhuangzi, they would rush the young couple into the room to make a baby.
There might be something going on in the daughter-in-law's stomach, and both of them were extremely excited.
I hope in my heart that it's not that they are overthinking it, but that it really happens.
Yuanniang seems to be right. For the sake of their children and grandchildren, they have to collect some money.
Just how to collect it is a question, but we can no longer directly distribute dividends like now.
Thinking like this, the couple looked at each other, and then Li Sanhai said: "Yuan Niang, you are right to say that the brothers must settle the accounts, but we can't ask for dividends. In this way, your third aunt and I will work for you, and each of you will Just give us monthly silver. We will get as much as the long-term workers in other people's villages earn each month."
How could Li Yuan really treat her own uncle and aunt like this? Besides, she also knew that people could grow their own sweet potatoes and watermelons. Even if they mature late, the prices are not cheap because they are scarce.
In a year, people can make a lot of money by doing this, so why should they come to her to get a few hundred coins and one tael a month?
Thinking about it, she replied: "That's not possible. Others have no choice but to work as long-term workers. Uncles and aunts, you are here to help me. Others can't make much money with their own skills throughout the year, but you can make money with sweet potato seeds and watermelons. , you can make a lot of money, so it doesn’t make sense to just get the dry monthly silver."
Speaking of this, she made a decision directly: "Since the third brother and sister may be pregnant, let's settle the matter like this. We will proceed according to the dividends. The specific dividends will be determined after I buy Zhuangzi here. It depends on the size of Zhuangzi. Discuss."
Li Sanhai saw that Li Yuan was serious, and after thinking about it, he asked: "Mother Yuan, the area of the village is generally not small, and your third aunt and I can't handle it. We are worried about buying someone, otherwise I Write a letter back and ask your Uncle Hua to help you think about it?"
Li Yuan suddenly thought that her tribe could not do it, but it turned out that people from Liuyun County could do it.
They suffered a disaster and it was difficult to rebuild their homes, especially when the court said that the treasury had no money and asked the county government to find a way.
First there was drought, then there were floods.
Even if the land is cultivated after this, the harvest will be much worse than before.
Therefore, it would be great if we could select some from those who survived.
But right now, we don’t know how many people are left in Liuyun County, where they live now, and what their character is.
It's a pity that her brother Xie has already gone to the Imperial College, otherwise it would be best for him to handle this matter.
Thinking like this, she said: "Third Uncle, I suddenly remembered that the people in Zhuangzi can come to us in Liuyun County. It is best for Brother Xie to handle this matter, but he has gone to the Imperial College, and it should be the same when he comes back years ago. Yes. Whether it's Zhuangzi or a workshop, you can go there to pick people. At the moment, apart from the greenhouse dish, we still have to look around first to see if Zhuangzi sells it. After Zhuangzi buys it, we also know, How many people are needed to turn back?”
When Li Sanhai thought that he was from Liuyun County, he couldn't help but feel close to him.
"Sure! There was a disaster there this year, and many people died one after another. Everyone is living a difficult life. I heard that the court has not allocated food or money for disaster relief until now. Everyone has no money this year. You know how to live. Allowing them to come here can be regarded as giving them a way out. It’s still Yuan Niang, this person must be chosen carefully. "
"Well, I'll let Brother Xie do this later when he comes back. Third Uncle, I'll go see how the children are doing."
"Go ahead, your third aunt and I will go to the greenhouse to take a look."
The greenhouse is large, the charcoal fire needs to be burned, and watering and weeding have to be done. They are also busy.
The secret medicine given by Yuan Niang not only made the vegetables grow faster, but also the grass.

Because of the care of her third uncle, third aunt and her brothers, Li Yuan did not care about anything except working with everyone since she arrived at Zhuangzi.
In a blink of an eye, it was the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month, and Li Jun, who drove to Zhuangzi that day, sent over two posts.
"Sister, the Xu family has sent another message, saying that the plum blossoms are blooming well now, and that you must go to appreciate the plum blossoms. In addition to the Xu family, there is also a message from the Fang family, which is the natal family of Mrs. Zhen Guohou."
"The person who sent the post said that Mr. Fang just recently found out that Fang Shumin was ignorant and said some unpleasant words in the Hou Mansion, which annoyed you. Now that the house has prepared tea, please come and give her a favor. A chance to pour tea and apologize.”
The so-called Xu family in Li Jun's mouth is the direct family of Xu Chongguang, the third prince's maternal family.
Li Yuan calculated that this was the fifth time she had received a message from the Xu family since arriving here.
She was lucky that she left in time, otherwise she wouldn't have known how to deal with this kind of thing.
But what does this Fang family mean?
Now that you know what Fang Shumin did in the Hou Mansion, do you want to apologize to her?
But since he wanted to apologize to her, why did he ask her to go to Fang's house instead of asking Fang Shumin to go to Xie's house?
How long has it been since this happened?
She couldn't believe that they only found out recently!
This sudden apology always feels weird, like a Hongmen Banquet.
Thinking like this, Li Yuan had no intention of going to the appointment at all.
No, to be precise, he has no intention of leaving Zhuangzi.
Jun Zi of her family had told people in Xu Mansion before that when her brother Xie went to the Imperial College, she took the children back to Xinyang Mansion.
But even so, those people sent messages to her home again and again. Wasn't this a sure sign that she was still in the capital?
Otherwise, he just wants to give people the wrong impression that they have a good relationship with her Xie family.
