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

Chapter 461 It’s better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish

After hearing this, Mrs. Li was no longer so frightened.

Washing and rinsing, that's what she is best at.

It didn't seem as scary as she had imagined.

"Lili, do you think it's okay for Chenxi to do this?" asked Old Mrs. Li.

At present, Li Ershu has his own career and has only two children, Li Qingshan and Li Tiansheng.

She didn't consider Li Qingshan because he was too honest.

The food cooked by Zuo Xiuhong is hard to swallow. They can’t just sell pig intestines and pig blood.

Therefore, Old Lady Li thought that if they really opened an inn in Guzhuang as Gu Lili said, her first choices would be to let Li Tiansheng and Gu Chenxi do it.

As for Li Qingshan, he continued to help Gu Li cook the pig intestines, and the old couple helped out.

Old Mrs. Li’s idea was exactly the same as Gu Lili’s.

When she started to have this idea, she thought of Gu Chenxi first.

"Of course!" Gu Lili nodded.

If what she was thinking was correct, Gu Chenxi and Li Tiansheng would soon be getting married.

The ages of both of them are there.

If we delay any longer, children of the same age will be able to play in the mud.

Old Lady Li nodded quickly and said, "Okay, then I'll go ask Tian Sheng how much money this guy has saved. Let's work out how much money it will take to build a restaurant."

As Mrs. Li was about to go out to look for Li Tiansheng, she was stopped by Gu Lili.

"Grandma, I will help you build the restaurant. You have helped me so much during this period of time. Consider this as my thank you gift. It can also be regarded as my wedding gift to my third uncle and Chenxi."

What Gu Lili said was true. Although Mrs. Li could not read or write, she was the person Gu Lili trusted the most.

When she went to Jiangdu, she entrusted her entire home and workshop to Old Lady Li and Li Tiansheng.

When they came back, the two of them managed everything in perfect order and nothing went wrong.

If this matter was handed over to someone else, Gu Lili would naturally feel uneasy.

This workshop produced tens of thousands of soaps in more than a month.

The contributions of Old Lady Li and Li Tiansheng are indelible, and this can be considered as indirectly helping Gu Lili earn a lot of money.

Although Gu Lili would find various reasons to add more to the monthly salary she gave, they were her relatives after all and she naturally could not neglect them.

When Mrs. Li heard this, she really didn't want to do it.

"Lili, grandma knows that you have money in your hands now, but that is earned by your own ability. I believe your third uncle must have the same idea as you, and want to earn money by his own ability." Old Mrs. Li refused righteously.

When Gu Lili heard this, she thought that Mrs. Li had misunderstood her.

She quickly explained, "Grandma, do you think that I am giving you money as alms? No, this is what you deserve."

But Old Mrs. Li interrupted Gu Lili first.

"Lili, you misunderstood. How could grandma think of you like this? But if you help your uncles with everything, they will become weak after a long time. It's good enough that you can give them a clear way out."

Help, Old Mrs. Li naturally wanted Gu Lili to help.

But not monetary.

Just like this, showing them a clear path and letting them earn money through their own efforts is already a huge help.

If Gu Lili just pointed out a clear path, they could save themselves several years or even more than ten years of detours.

Gu Lili understood. This was indeed the truth.

If it were her, she would also refuse to take the money her grandmother offered her.

It is better to teach people to fish than to teach people.

If they accept financial help from Gu Lili for a long time, what will they do if Gu Lili stops helping them one day?

It is better to have the ability to earn money yourself.

The silver you get in this way will feel more secure in your hands.

At this time, Gu Lili also understood why Li Ershu rejected Liu Miaoyin. At that time, she just thought that Li Ershu was too pedantic.

Just nod your head and you won’t have to work hard for the rest of your life.

However, if Li Ershu had nodded at that time, he would never be able to raise his head in front of Liu Miaoyin.

Just like Gu Lili and the Li family at this moment.

Gu Lili gives them monthly wages because they work seriously.

If it was given to the inn, it would be different.

They are family, and now everything is treated equally.

If I really accepted Gu Lili's kindness, I wouldn't be able to raise my head in front of her.

After a long time, there will be estrangement between relatives.

"Grandma, I understand. Let's do as you say. I'll pay for you to build the inn." Before Gu Lili finished her words, Mrs. Li's face changed drastically.

It turns out that after talking to Gu Lili for a long time, Gu Lili still didn't understand what I meant.

Gu Lili continued, "The money you have is definitely not enough to build an inn. I will pay for you first. When you earn money, you can pay me back!"

Gu Lili can help Yu Yirou and Aunt Zhang, so naturally she can't be bad to her grandparents.

Only then did Mrs. Li reveal a satisfied smile.

"Okay! Then it's settled. I'll go ask your third uncle what he thinks first, and then I'll get back to you." Old Mrs. Li smiled and went outside to look for Li Tiansheng.

Gu Lili also took out some banknotes and helped Li Tiansheng design the inn.

The first floor is used to entertain guests for meals, and the second floor is designed with multiple rooms for guests to rest.

Gu Lili was writing and drawing. Old Mrs. Li and Li Tiansheng had also finished their discussion and walked in with smiles on their faces.

"Grandma, Third Uncle, what do you think?" Gu Lili said, showing the freshly drawn blueprint to the two of them.

The two of them held it in their hands and examined it for a long time, but couldn't figure out anything.

Gu Lili patiently explained it to them again, and they finally understood.

"Okay, then let's do it according to the drawing you drew, Lili!" Li Tiansheng said excitedly.

Gu Lili asked Li Tiansheng to find the head of the village to buy the land, while she went to find craftsman Qian.

Craftsman Qian had just come back from finding someone and hadn't had a chance to rest when he heard Gu Lili tell him the purpose of her visit.

Craftsman Qian had no choice but to get up and continue looking for someone.

There is no way, no one can resist the opportunity to make money.

In the past few days, merchants have come to Gu Lili's house one after another to get soap, so Gu Lili stays at home and receives the merchants.

I don’t know if Huang Zhixiong can handle things on his own. If he can, Gu Lili thought, let Gu Yunchu come back.

It's just right for me to learn about family matters and take over Gu Lili's affairs.

Liu Ying and Liu Miaoyin, mother and son, played at Gu Lili's house for three days and then set off to return to Jiangdu.

Originally, Mrs. Li and Old Man Li wanted to go to Jiangdu with them, but were rejected by Liu Ying.
