80s: The cold-faced tough guy was controlled by the beautiful woman

Chapter 327 What do you know?
The aunt said, "Really? I'm willing to do it."

"You're not going to farm the land anymore? You're not going to take care of your grandson?" the carpenter said.

“Your land has been handed over to someone else to cultivate, and you’ll receive some grain every year. I can help arrange for your son and daughter-in-law to move to the city, and your grandson can study there. The educational conditions are much better than in the village.” Li Yingtang believed that no one could refuse the conditions she offered.

"That won't do," the carpenter said, his mind preoccupied with his own land.

The aunt was so angry she jumped up and down: "How can you be so old-fashioned? Our combined wages are close to two hundred yuan, how much is that in a year? How much can we earn by farming?"

The carpenter scolded, "What do you know? That's just a woman's perspective."

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Xiao Qin's wife said that her friend's factory meant it wasn't a secure job.

If he works for a private individual, what if they start investigating him one day? Wouldn't he be in trouble?
Life in the village was simple and frugal, but he wouldn't get into trouble.

“Young wife, I appreciate your kindness, but let’s not do this. I can’t accept a gift without having done something for it. Please take the gift back.”

Li Yingtang was dumbfounded. This isn't allowed? Fine.

She demanded that he make a crib before he would agree to accept the gift.

"Is it a gift? Do you have any style requirements?" the carpenter asked.

Li Yingtang gave a vague "hmm": "No style requirements, something simple is fine."

"Come back in a week to pick it up."

"Okay." Li Yingtang left the carpenter's house, went to the village store at the entrance, bought two bundles of yellow paper, and took them to the village chief's house.

From afar, one could see a funeral being held at the entrance.

After the memorial service, she chatted with the village chief's wife and others. After being away from the village for a while, everyone was especially warm to see her again, pulling her aside to ask her all sorts of questions.

Fengfeng came over with her child in her arms to greet them: "It's been a while since I've seen Dr. Qin's daughter, you've gotten even more handsome."

Li Yingtang laughed heartily, "Oh, no, you flatter me. Your child has grown so much. Aren't he afraid of all the people coming and going here? Let me hold him." She reached out to the child.

The child turned away and ignored her.

She exclaimed, "How clever! It can recognize people so quickly!"

"All kids are like this, what's so strange about it?" Cheng Fang approached, munching on a sunflower seed.

Li Yingtang glanced at Cheng Fang and noticed that she had gained a lot of weight, with a slightly protruding belly: "You're living a good life, aren't you? Your belly has gotten so big."

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Cheng Fang's face darkened: "What do you know? I'm pregnant."

Who else is like you, following Doctor Qin for so long, yet your belly still looks like a frying pan?

Nine out of ten times they cannot give birth.

I wonder if Doctor Qin regrets marrying a woman who can't lay eggs, and whether he agreed to be with her.

Li Yingtang was disheveled; was she pregnant?
Aren’t they divorced?

She asked Wu Hong privately.

Wu Hong quietly told her, "Do you remember Cheng Cai, the man whose wife died at the east end of the village? Cheng Fang claims he's his, but he denies it, and the two of them are arguing right now."

Li Yingtang: "." This is so confusing. Aren't you afraid of getting sick?

She stayed in the village for a while before saying goodbye to the village chief and others.

Wu Hong pulled her along, saying, "Don't rush off yet. The pumpkins are just right now. Let me pick a few for you."

"Okay, I won't be polite." Li Yingtang thought it was an old pumpkin, but after following Wu Hong over, she realized it was a green pumpkin: "This can't be used to make porridge, can it? How do we eat it?"

"Stewed meat," Wu Hong said.

"I'm afraid I won't be used to the food." Li Yingtang only ordered one item: "If it's good, I'll ask Lao Shi to bring some more. I'm leaving now." "I'll see you off." Wu Hong followed her towards the village entrance.

I encountered a group of people dressed as Taoist priests putting on their robes.

Li Yingtang was quite curious. Were these people religious or Buddhist? She whispered to Wu Hong, "What do they do?"

Wu Hong lowered her voice: "The village chief invited them to perform the ritual. He keeps telling us not to be superstitious, but he does these things himself. Also, while other families cremate, his mother is buried in the ground. He tells everyone that this is his mother's last wish, and he had no choice but to find several people to vouch for it."

Li Yingtang was amused: "Aren't you afraid someone will report you?"

Wu Hong: "Isn't it funny? No one reported it. We're all neighbors, so even if we had opinions, it wasn't convenient for us to criticize him after hearing him say that."

Li Yingtang: "Kind-hearted fellow villagers."

“There are many unkind people among them.” Wu Hong turned her gaze to the village.

Li Yingtang's gaze shifted; it was Liu Lirong. "Didn't they say she was dying?"

"Yes, the Qian family had already notified them of the funeral. But when the Liu family arrived, she suddenly recovered, became much more sensible, and even more talkative than before. She demanded a divorce from Qian Gang. Her family didn't agree, but her husband's family was more than happy about it. The two divorced in private. Her family felt ashamed and wouldn't let her back into their home, so she stayed at Liu Hua's house. Liu Hua was a decent person and took her in. She recuperated at Liu Hua's house for half a month. Recently, she said she wanted to go to the city to find work. It's quite pitiful," Wu Hong said.

Li Yingtang's eyes met his.

Liu Lirong paused, walked over, bit her lip, and greeted, "Dr. Qin's family, I'm sorry for what happened before."

Li Yingtang wasn't that magnanimous and remained silent to express her stance.

Wu Hong asked, "Have you eaten yet? I have some pumpkin here, do you want some?"

“My aunt’s family has some.” Liu Lirong looked at Li Yingtang again: “Doctor Qin’s family. Do you know where to find good jobs in the city? I heard that there are jobs in the city that include childcare, cooking and cleaning, and not only do they provide food and lodging, but you can also earn money.”

Li Yingtang was about to refuse when she caught a glimpse of the other person's reddened eyes.

Looking at the other party's attitude, there are indeed signs that they have changed their ways.

We decided to give him another chance.

She said, "After you enter the city, if you encounter patrolmen or people at newsstands, ask them where the nearest bulletin board is. They will point you to it. Go to the bulletin board; there will be job postings on it. If you can't read, find someone wearing a blue armband and ask them if they are hiring nannies. Go to several places; the chances of finding work are high. Taking care of children, cooking, and cleaning are considered nanny jobs, and the salary is usually sixty or seventy yuan a month."

"Oh, thanks."

"Sixty or seventy yuan? I'd even consider becoming a nanny for that," Wu Hong said.

"Making money is not easy. First, you have to put in the effort. Second, some employers treat their nannies very well. They can eat at the table and eat as much fruit as the employer buys. Some employers don't even allow their nannies to eat at the table and keep everything in the house away from them."

Just like getting married, it involves a bit of luck. Of course, we can't always try to take advantage or always suffer injustice. There are some benefits we can't accept, and we have to be reasonable when necessary. If reasoning doesn't work, we can leave. Harboring malicious intentions to retaliate against others is absolutely unacceptable.” Li Yingtang's words were essentially a reminder to Liu Lirong.

“I really shouldn’t have done that before,” Liu Lirong said, pursing her lips.

Seeing that she had taken it to heart, Li Yingtang simply greeted Wu Hong, "Sister-in-law Cheng, I'm leaving now."

"Hey, come visit sometime."

Li Yingtang was worried about the carpentry work.

After thinking about it, I decided to find a carpenter to make cabinets for my home.

That chef's skills were also excellent.

If we can persuade them to join our factory, that would be great.

As I walked along the main street in the city, I saw Li Tang walking side by side with a man of roughly the same age.

"Old Li," Li Yingtang greeted.

Li Tang looked up and waved to her.

A moment later, Li Yingtang arrived in front of him: "Shopping with friends?"
