"Hey, have you heard? Liu Dabao of the old Liu family had his legs broken. It is said that someone found him with his hands tied and a sack on his head. They don't even know who the murderer was."
After dinner in the evening, the first few aunts who were enjoying the shade gathered together and chatted under a big tree in the threshing floor at the entrance of the village.
"The Liu family's donkey balls don't do anyone's business. They might have offended someone, but this time it's good. The village may be quiet for a while."
"Their family is not a good bird. Last month, Widow Liu threw a dead chicken cub at my door. It must have been that I poisoned the chicken to death. She extorted two yuan from me. This is not a clear sign of living."
It’s amazing.”
"..."
In the Liu family, Widow Liu looked at her son lying on the kang, screaming in pain, and suddenly felt distressed.
"Who could kill a thousand swordsmen and give birth to a son without an asshole? He lacks something worthy of great virtue. Don't let me know who it is, or I will make him walk around without food!"
After scolding her for a while, Widow Liu finally remembered to ask about her son's condition: "His fifth uncle, how is the child's leg? Can it be cured?"
Zhao Fujiang withdrew his checking hand: "It's broken. I can fix it with a wooden board first, but try not to move this leg for the past three months. I'll prescribe some medicine later."
When Liu Dabao heard that he could not move for three months, he screamed even more fiercely.
Widow Liu began to yell and curse again.
…
"Liyuan, you can go to school with peace of mind from now on. Liu Dabao will not harass you anymore."
While eating dinner, Chen Lishu suddenly looked up at Chen Liyuan and said.
"Really?" Chen Liyuan raised her head when she heard her words, her almond-shaped eyes filled with eager anticipation.
Chen Lishu nodded: "Really."
After receiving a definite answer, the big stone that had been pressing on her chest finally fell to the ground, and Chen Liyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Third sister-in-law, how do you know Liu Dabao will never pester Liyuan again?" Gu Xingping raised her head and asked curiously.
"I heard that his leg seemed to have been broken by someone else, and he couldn't get out of bed for three or two months."
"His leg was broken?!" Chen Liyuan and Gu Xingping looked at each other, and they both saw gloating in each other's eyes.
Chen Liyuan laughed: "I don't know who he offended, but someone finally did justice for God."
"For someone like him, it's easy for someone to break his leg." Gu Xingping said and looked at Chen Lishu: "Third sister-in-law, you couldn't have done this, right?"
Chen Lishu smiled and shook her head: "How is that possible? I have been working on underwear with Lin Qi all day today."
No matter who it was, the three of them were very happy to have solved Liu Dabao's problem. Chen Liyuan even ate half a bowl of rice more than usual.
After dinner, Ding Chen suddenly came over.
"You're on vacation? When did you come back?" Gu Xingping said in surprise when she saw him coming back.
"I arrived at noon today. I took a nap in the afternoon. I happened to come over after dinner and had nothing to do." Ding Chen replied with a smile.
His eyes fell on Gu Xingping as soon as he entered the hospital. He hadn't seen her for half a year. Except that her hair had grown longer, she seemed to have become more beautiful, and she looked more and more like a big girl.
"Come in and sit down." Chen Lishu turned sideways and waved him into the room.
"I learned this from my classmates. I don't know if you like it or not. Don't dislike it if it's not good."
After entering the room, Lin Qi sheepishly took out a small object woven from glass fiber and handed it to Gu Xingping.
Gu Xingping took it in her hand and saw it was a lifelike little goldfish woven with glass silk.
"This thing can also be used to knit things? It's so cute."
When Ding Chen saw that she liked it, he couldn't help but laugh too: "I only found out through reading a classmate's editor that this can be used as a keychain."
Ding Chen said and took out two more gourd-shaped ones and gave them to Chen Lishu and Chen Liyuan respectively.
This kind of small object can easily attract the attention of girls. Chen Liyuan held it in her hand and studied it over and over with curiosity.
She and Gu Xingping didn't know how to braid it, but Chen Lishu knew that because of its bright color, glass silk was first used by girls to tie their hair. Later, it was unknown when it was used by ingenious people to braid it into keychains of various shapes.
"How do you make this up? Can you teach me?" Gu Xingping turned her head and said to Ding Chen.
She really couldn't put it down with the goldfish in her hand, and when she mastered it, she would knit more shapes.
Ding Chen nodded and said warmly: "Okay."
Because the family was full of girls, Ding Chen didn't stay long and left before dark.
The next day, Chen Liyuan was going to take the high school entrance examination. Chen Lishu didn't let her stay up late, so the three of them turned off the lights and went to bed early.
Suddenly there was lightning and thunder in the night, and soon it started to rain heavily.
It rained all night, but it started to clear up the next morning, bringing a rare hint of coolness to the muggy day.
Chen Lishu specially cooked egg noodles early in the morning. After Chen Liyuan finished eating, Chen Lishu gave some instructions.
Soon Chen Liyuan left, and Lin Qi came over not long after. After talking to Gu Xingping, Chen Lishu and Lin Qi went to the supply and marketing cooperative to see how underwear was sold.
There are five houses in total. Counting those that Lin Qi sent before and those that were sent to them later, each house basically has seventy or eighty items.
In the past, so many underwear could not be sold within a month. Because this time there was a discount, and more than half of them were sold in just three days.
"Xiao Chen, do you still have these underwear? Give me another hundred pieces and I'm sure they can be sold."
The clerk at the supply and marketing cooperative said very happily when he saw her coming in.
In three days, she sold a total of fifty-six pieces, which was five yuan and sixty cents, which was equivalent to the commission she earned from selling underwear every month.
Chen Lishu smiled: "One hundred pieces is too many. After all, I have limited manpower, but don't worry, I promise that I will not run out of stock. I will ask Lin Qi to send you another twenty pieces tomorrow."
The clerk was relieved after hearing her words.
While the two were talking, a girl of sixteen or seventeen suddenly came into the store. After shopping, the clerk sold underwear as usual, but the girl smiled and shook her head: "I have already bought it before."
When Chen Lishu heard the girl's words, something flashed through her mind.
After coming out of the supply and marketing cooperative, Chen Lishu and Lin Qi visited the remaining four houses. Chen Lishu each asked one question in particular, and after receiving the same answer, she began to think thoughtfully.
…
"Sister Xiaoting, I heard that 'Shu Se' underwear is doing something these days. Buy two pieces for 10% off and three pieces for 15% off."
A female worker in the workshop saw Liu Xiaoting coming and hurriedly came over to report.
After hearing her words, Liu Xiaoting frowned unconsciously. She lowered the price and Chen Lishu came to offer some discount. It seems that she deliberately wanted to go against her! Another echoed: "Yes, I heard about it too, my second aunt's family
My child even wanted to drag me to buy it, saying that the more money I collected, the cheaper it would be."
After listening to what the two people said, Liu Xiaoting's face suddenly sank, and she turned around and walked towards the factory office.
