The pretty widow is addicted to money, and the little wolfdog asks for a hug

Gu Xiang also let out a long sigh. After being reminded by his daughter-in-law and niece today, a sense of hope suddenly arose in his heart.

He hoped that he had no blood relationship with his fourth brother and Liu Damai.

Liu Damai is sarcastic, selfish, vicious, ungrateful and shameless. Such an old woman is not worthy of being his father, nor is she worthy of being their mother.

After a few days, he will go ask his father again to see if he can dig out some truth.

"By the way, Huai'er, is your father feeling better?" Gu Xiang was very excited when he heard that his fourth brother's brain was slowly recovering. He went to visit him every few days.

Gu Qinghuai smiled and said, "Much better. It won't take long to recover."

"That's great!" Gu Xiang rubbed his hands, very happy.

My fourth brother is smart. If he can get better completely, the fourth room will definitely be better off.

Su also smiled and said, "Let's go see him in a few days. Huai'er, is there something you need today?"

She knew that Gu Qinghuai was always busy and would not come to her house without permission.

Gu Qinghuai nodded: "Second Aunt, I do have something to do. I want to cooperate with you on a business."

Su and Gu Xiang looked at each other in surprise.

Su rubbed her hands on her knees and said excitedly, "Okay, Huai'er, just ask us if you need us to do anything."

Gu Qinghuai asked: "Can we call Brother Zhiyuan back first?"

Gu Zhiyuan is the most clear-headed person in the second house. He is also the intellectual leader and backbone of the second house. Most of the future papermaking business will still depend on him, so Gu Qinghuai hopes that he will participate in the whole process.

"I'll go call him!" Su immediately stood up and ran out with light steps.

After a while, Su and Gu Zhiyuan came back panting. Gu Zhiyuan was carrying a shovel on his shoulder and was sweating all over.

Gu Qinghuai's second uncle's son and cousin - Gu Zhiyuan

Gu Zhiyuan is still very thin, with sunken cheeks. If he could gain some weight, he would look handsome.

After all, Gu Xiang and Su are both good-looking.

When he saw Gu Qinghuai, he happily called out "Huai'er".

Gu Qinghuai also smiled and called Zhiyuan Brother.

Su fetched a basin of water and asked Gu Zhiyuan to wash his face.

After the four of them sat down, Gu Qinghuai said, "Brother Zhiyuan, I want to cooperate with you in the papermaking business."

papermaking?!

The three people from the second room were shocked.

Paper is so expensive, Huai'er actually knows how to make paper? !

But how did Huai'er know?

Although the three of them were very curious, they held back and did not ask.

They accepted whatever Huai'er told them. If they asked too many questions, they would become annoying.

Su's voice trembled with excitement: "Okay, we will all listen to Huai'er!"

"Yes, third sister, we will do whatever you say," Gu Zhiyuan's blood boiled.

He had a premonition that the fate of their second branch was about to completely change!

Look at the Meng family. They first cooperated with Huai'er in the cricket business and made a lot of money.

Later, he learned the sugar-making method from Huai'er and opened a sugar-making workshop.

It is said that they could earn dozens of taels of silver a day by selling sugar.

Because the Meng family clung to Huai'er's thighs, they had become a wealthy family in the village and were about to build a large brick and tile house.

This time, Huai'er actually plans to teach them papermaking skills. Their family is going to be successful!

Maybe, it won’t be long before they can redeem their sister.

Gu Qinghuai said solemnly: "I will provide the capital and secret recipe, and Second Uncle's family will provide the manpower and venue. We will develop the market together, and there are two ways to share the profits..."

Gu Qinghuai explained the profit-sharing method of cooperation with the Meng family.

The three members of the second branch unanimously decided to split the property 50-50 with Gu Qinghuai, and it would be a lifelong tenure.

Gu Qinghuai insisted on choosing the same dividend distribution method as the Meng family: 50-50 within fifty years; 28-29 after fifty years.

Seeing that Gu Qinghuai was determined, the three people from the second room no longer refused.

What they owe Huai'er will be repaid in other ways later.

After negotiating the papermaking business with his second uncle's family, Gu Qinghuai asked them to prepare the raw materials first.

The raw materials for papermaking are very abundant, mainly plant fibers and industrial sludge.

In ancient times, there was no industrial sludge, so only plant fibers could be used.

There are many plant fibers that can be used to make paper, such as:

Coniferous wood: larch, red pine, masson pine, Yunnan pine, Scotch pine, etc.

Broadleaf wood: poplar, birch, eucalyptus, etc.

Most of these woods are available in the Black Cloud Mountain behind, so it is very convenient to obtain them.

However, Gu Qinghuai asked his second uncle's family to plant a new tree for every tree they cut down, and not to demand too much from the forest.

Otherwise, over time, all the trees on the mountain will be cut down, which will be detrimental to the development of future generations.

In order to enhance the environmental awareness of the second uncle's family, Gu Qinghuai also gave them a brief introduction to what soil erosion and mudslides are.

The three members of the second branch solemnly promised that for every tree they cut down, they would plant a new one.

In addition to papermaking from wood, there is also papermaking from grass plants, such as reeds, bamboo, silver stalks, wheat straw, rice straw, dragon beard grass, sorghum stalks, bagasse, etc.

Some bast fibers can also be used to make paper, such as flax, jute, kenaf, sandalwood bark, mulberry bark, cotton stalk bark, etc.

……

The three people from the second room were very excited as they held the books of raw materials for papermaking sorted out by Gu Qinghuai.

Gu Qinghuai asked them to familiarize themselves with the materials and processes first, and prepare papermaking tools at the same time. They would start learning papermaking in a few days.

The second branch of the Gu family was busy with hope, and had no idea that the villagers were shocked by another piece of news.

Someone saw Gu Heng, that wooden idiot, walking around in the village and greeting people enthusiastically!

Is Gu Heng's brain okay?

Gu Heng is not stupid anymore?

Everyone in the village is asking this question.

The whole village found it incredible.

Gu Heng's brain has indeed improved a lot, but his memory is still stuck in three years ago.

During these days, Zhao Ying told him every day what happened in the past three years, about her family and the village, everything she could tell, trying to let him know more of the truth and see clearly which people were worth associating with and which people should be treated as strangers.

Gu Heng got a general understanding.

When he heard that his second and third daughters were bullied by their in-laws after they got married, he was so angry that he trembled all over.

He had always treated his daughter like a treasure, but after she went to her husband's house, she lived worse than animals!

And there was the Gu family’s old house. After he injured his brain, they immediately drove his wife and children out!

They were not willing to be driven out, and they bullied his wife and daughter repeatedly, and even wanted to suck their blood.

He kept a silent note of these people in his heart.

The news that Gu Heng's brain had returned to normal soon spread to the Gu family's old house.

Liu Damai thought for a moment and wanted to find Gu Heng immediately.

Gu Heng had always been very filial and he certainly wouldn't want to see his mother living a hard life.

But she heard that the little whore Gu Qinghuai taught the Meng family how to make sugar, and the Meng family now earns dozens of taels of silver a day.

The recipe for making sugar, what a precious thing!

That little bitch actually gave it to outsiders and not to her own family.
