My parents are both dead, I rely on fishing and farming to support my younger siblings

Then he looked at Liu Ying again, "Is my boy not causing any trouble to the Madam?"

Liu Ying and Old Lady Li are about ten years apart in age, but Liu Ying looks not much older than Liu Miaoyin.

Old Mrs. Li compared herself again. She was obviously in her forties and almost fifty, but because of years of hard work, she looked more like a person in her sixties.

His temples are already gray, showing his old age.

"Ershu is very sensible, hardworking and filial. Miaoyin and I are both optimistic about her." Liu Ying said frankly.

Looking at the simple old lady Li, Liu Ying knew that she could raise a child like Li Ershu.

His character must be pretty good.

Since the decision has been made to keep the two children together, there is naturally no need to say so many roundabout and high-sounding words.

Listening to Mrs. Li's affirmation of Li Ershu, and seeing that Liu Ying didn't mind the dust on her body at all, Mrs. Li's heart gradually calmed down.

Old Mrs. Li wiped her face with her sleeve and smiled, "That's good, that's good!"

Liu Miaoyin took a look and saw that the small stain on Mrs. Li's face had spread to half of her face because she wiped it with her hand.

She walked gracefully to Old Mrs. Li and took out the snow-white handkerchief from her arms.

"Auntie, don't move. Let me help you wipe the dust off your face." Liu Miaoyin said softly.

As he said this, he raised his hand and prepared to help Old Mrs. Li wipe it.

When Old Mrs. Li saw such a snow-white handkerchief, she thought that if she used it to wipe her face, it would be ruined.

He hurriedly tried to retreat.

"Good boy, please don't ruin this nice handkerchief. I'll just wash it."

How could Liu Ying let Old Lady Li escape from her hands? She directly and forcefully grabbed Old Lady Li's hand.

He signaled Liu Miaoyin to help wipe it.

Liu Miaoyin raised her hand and gently wiped the dirt off Old Mrs. Li's face bit by bit.

Seeing this, Gu Chenxi, who was standing by, also fetched a basin of water.

Get ready to let Mrs. Li wash her hands.

At the same time, he felt a little annoyed. It was not a wise move to stop Mrs. Li just now.

Fortunately, Mrs. Liu did not look down on Mrs. Li, otherwise, she would have been in big trouble.

If the Liu family looks down on the Li family, wouldn’t that ruin Li Ershu’s marriage?

Old Mrs. Li looked at the dirty white handkerchief, then at the water that Gu Chenxi had fetched in front of her.

I couldn't help but redden my eyes.

"You two are such good kids. If I had known I wouldn't have given birth to a son, I would have given birth to four daughters. How sweet!"

Old Mrs. Li thought of her eldest daughter, Li Xihua.

Mrs. Li's words made Liu Ying couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

Old Mrs. Li didn't know why Liu Ying suddenly laughed, and looked at Liu Ying curiously.

"Oh, my dear sister, tell me, when it comes to having a boy or a girl, it's not up to us to decide what we want! It's decided by Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth."

When Mrs. Li heard this, she also started laughing.

"Sister Liu is right. Just looking at the two lovely girls makes me feel so happy."

Liu Miaoyin and Gu Chenxi looked at each other and then laughed.

"Old sister, if you ask me, it's better to give birth to sons. Look at you, you gave birth to three sons at once, and you can bring three girls home at once. How great is that!" Liu Ying joked.

Old Mrs. Li was so amused by Liu Ying that all her previous restraint and tension disappeared.

She squatted down, washed her hands with the clean water in front of her, and looked at Liu Ying and said, "Although our family is poor, no matter whether it is a daughter or a son, as long as they come to my Li family, I will love them as my own children."

Mrs. Li's words were actually meant for the three people present.

It was an implicit guarantee that he would treat them as his own children in the future.

What Old Lady Li said was not false. Even for her eldest daughter-in-law, Zuo Xiuhong, who loved to make trouble, Old Lady Li rarely let her cook or do any housework.

Now that Zuo Xiuhong has stopped being a troublemaker, Old Lady Li loves her even more.

He often secretly gave Zuo Xiuhong money.

Of course, Zuo Xiuhong also became more filial to Old Mrs. Li.

The days are getting smoother and smoother.

Both Liu Miaoyin and Gu Chenxi blushed and lowered their heads.

Seeing this, Liu Ying smiled and said, "Miaoyin, you can go out with this sister Chenxi. I feel like I've known this old sister for a long time, so let's chat for a while."

Liu Miaoyin nodded, and Gu Chenxi took Liu Miaoyin outside.

Speaking of scenery, the scenery by the creek and the sea is definitely much more pleasant.

The courtyard next door has not yet been planted with flowers or plants, so there is nothing to see.

After washing her hands, Mrs. Li took Liu Ying to the kitchen.

Fortunately, there were tea sets and other things in the kitchen, so the two of them wouldn't feel thirsty while chatting inside.

After Gu Lili negotiated the deal with the merchants and received the final payment, she had her family workers load their goods onto the carriage according to the list.

Because it was still early and not time to eat, and they were all in a hurry to go back to earn money, so except for Yu Shanhai, they all said goodbye and left.

"County Lady, I want to ask, besides maltose and soap, are there any other rare items for sale?" Yu Shanhai asked.

He felt that Gu Lili must have something else.

In order to give priority to other merchants, he deliberately stayed at the end and wanted to ask a question.

He knew that if Gu Lili had new products, the Liu family would definitely be given priority, but it didn't matter.

As long as you put yourself first before others, you will naturally earn something.

Gu Lili knew what the strange thing Yu Shanhai was talking about was.

After all, the flower petals that she went to great lengths to extract the essential oil from were provided by him.

In fact, some rose essential oil soap has indeed been made.

However, it’s not a lot, only about two hundred yuan.

And it is not saponified yet.

Therefore, Gu Lili did not mention this matter.

Originally, Gu Lili was thinking of selling all the rose essential oil soaps to the Liu family.

However, since Yu Shanhai took the trouble to bring this up, I wouldn't want to disappoint him.

"Yes! I have already made the rose essential oil soap, but it is not completely ready yet. If you can wait, you can wait until tomorrow or so. I can give you a hundred dollars."

The essential oil soap is ready, but it has not been demolded yet.

It will take until tomorrow to demould.

As for saponification, let Yu Shanhai take it back and saponify it himself.

It also saves him from running back and forth for this.

When Yu Shanhai heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He had heard about the price of soap in Shangjing.

If the soap had a rose scent, it would definitely sell for a higher price than this.

One hundred bars of soap, then by then, I would have made a steady sum of money.

"Thank you, County Princess. Thank you, County Princess!" Yu Shanhai thanked repeatedly.

To do business, you still need to be thick-skinned!

"Mr. Yu, don't you ask me the price?"
