Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl Chapter 68: Do some small business
Shu Yu has something to say to the old lady, and Lu Sanzhuchu is really annoying here.
She handed him two steamed buns. Lu Sanzhu turned around and ran away with the steamed buns in his hands, as if he was afraid that she would regret it.
When he ran out of sight, the old lady said, "It's true that one thing comes after another. It's rare for the third child to be so well-behaved."
Shu Yu poured her a glass of water and asked Dahu Sanya to eat slowly, and then said, "Uncle San has no other good qualities, but his eyesight is quite impressive."
The old lady smiled and finished all the buns in her hand.
She hadn't eaten meat buns for a long time, and she couldn't hold it back just now.
Shu Yu handed her another one, and the old lady waved her hand, "That's enough, I won't eat anymore. Erya, you just said you had something to discuss with me, what is it about?"
"I would like to ask, what is our family's main source of income?"
Source of income? The old lady didn't react to this statement for a while.
I was stunned for a moment, then said, "You mean how our family makes money, right?"
Shu Yu nodded, and the old lady did not hide anything from her, "Our family had seven or eight acres of land in the past, and we have sold several acres one after another over the years. Especially after your father broke his leg, it will be difficult to see if the leg needs treatment. We have so little money that we only have three acres of land left."
The three acres of land are managed by the old lady and Ruan.
Both of them are very diligent, but no matter how diligent they are, they only have so little food and there is not much left after paying the taxes.
"Besides this place, your mother and I do some needlework to support the family. As for your father, his legs and feet are not good and he can't go to the ground, so he stays at home. He used to be an apprentice with the master for several years, and he knows how to order. Carpentry. He just makes small wooden pieces and sells them, but he can’t go to the mountains to cut the wood, so he can only buy it. He doesn’t make much if he comes back and forth like this. In addition, he looks like him and can’t sit for a long time, otherwise It’s more troublesome if your legs and feet are numb, so your work will naturally be slower.”
Shu Yu understood that although the Lu family now cultivates three acres of land, it should not be enough to feed themselves.
The rest is needlework and small wooden pieces. I don’t earn much, and I have to pay for the family’s living expenses, Lu Erbai’s medical expenses, and even the travel expenses to find her missing daughter.
After the old lady finished speaking, she also looked sad.
Although they are confident that as long as the second leg is cured, the days ahead will get better and better. But she also heard Dr. Xu say that even if the second leg heals, it will not be as flexible as before.
With only a few workers in the family, life may still be difficult.
After Shu Yu pondered for a moment, he said, "Nai, have you ever thought about renting out those acres of land and let's do some small business ourselves?"
"Small business?" The old lady was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, "No, your mother and I have no skills, we only know how to farm. This small business is not that easy to do. Besides, it's not that easy. For capital, it is difficult for our family to even come up with a hundred copper coins."
"Why don't you have any skills? Aren't you and your mother good at needlework?"
"I only sew and mend clothes. Your mother's needlework is good, but compared to the embroidery women in the city, it's not even the slightest bit worse. It's okay to mend an ordinary handkerchief and fan, but the other things are not on the table. ."
The old lady waved her hands repeatedly, feeling that Shu Yu's idea was a bit naive.
But Shu Yu said, "This is not important. It doesn't matter that my mother's embroidery work is not as good as her, but I have seen that her sewing skills are very skillful and beautiful. That's enough."
