Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

It seemed that no one expected Xu Ruolan to refuse.

Because these days, Xu Ruolan not only did not make things difficult for Liu Juan, but also occasionally gave her some pointers on her embroidery skills.

But it was just a surprise to everyone. After all... the eldest family almost killed their family of four.

Although Chen Shuman has been divorced now, and Liu Chengming, who despises the poor and loves the rich, has left with his mother (a rumor released by Liu Dongcheng), Liu Juan also bullied them a lot in the past. Giving you such a high-paying job to support the family is already a sign of the employer's consideration for humanity.

Not only other workers thought so, Liu Juan also thought so, so she did not complain, but just felt a little embarrassed and her face turned pale.

"Yes, it was Juaner who disturbed Second Aunt. I'm sorry!" After saying that, she prepared to continue embroidering the pillowcase in her hands.

"Do you think that I'm not letting you receive it because you're holding a grudge against me for something that happened in the past?" Xu Ruolan walked closer to her and asked calmly, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking.

"Second Aunt, it's okay, I was immature..." Liu Juan didn't expect her to ask this. She felt a little uneasy, worried that Xu Ruolan would drive her away.

"Juan'er, although Second Aunt is a woman, she also knows what it means to keep one's word. Not only you can't take this cloth, but all the workers in the workshop can't take it either."

She said the latter sentence to everyone in the embroidery room.

"I don't let you guys get the cloth because I'm afraid you'll make too much money. On the contrary, I'm afraid you'll make too little."

Seeing that everyone was looking at her in confusion, Xu Ruolan explained: "The working hours of the workshop were set by Xuer. Xuer said that this is the best working time. This will ensure that you are in the best condition when you go to work every day, so that your work efficiency will be the highest, which means that you will do it faster and better."

"Besides, our eyes are already damaged. If you go back to work and work overtime, it will not only affect your efficiency the next day, but over time, your eyes will be damaged. Wouldn't that be a loss?"

"If I let my family do these jobs, I can also earn some extra income, right?"

Hearing Xu Ruolan say this, everyone felt touched and guilty. Almost everyone had misunderstood them just now.

"Hey, let's listen to the boss! The boss is well educated, he knows much more than us!"

"That's right. I just thought about it and it's true. Two days ago, I stayed up late after work to make a set of clothes for the child's father. As a result, I missed embroidering one set for two consecutive days. It's really a loss when I think about it."

"Really? But the New Year is coming soon. I have extra money from mushrooms this year, and I am planning to make a new set of clothes for everyone in my family!"

"That's easy. Don't we have ready-made clothes for sale in our workshop? Boss, can we buy them ourselves?" The smart ones immediately changed the subject.

"Why can't we buy this? But we have to wait until we have ordered all the goods. I'll talk to a few managers later and ask everyone to work harder so that we can deliver the goods and also have some for our families." Xu Ruolan said generously.

It doesn't matter who they sell it to. Why can't they arrange for themselves to use the things they made with their own hands? Wouldn't that be ridiculous?

After chatting with a few embroiderers for a while, Xu Ruolan went out when Zi Ling came back.

Xibao and Fukang were playing with the two little ones on the kang. Yue Niang was watching them from the side, sewing little shoes and socks for them.

Seeing that the children were having fun, Xu Ruolan did not disturb them and went to look for her daughter.

In the kitchen yard, Liu Xu was shelling corn with the servants.

At first, they had been unable to dig it out, and Liu Xu remembered the axe that her grandmother and her family used when she was a child, so she asked He Lei to find some wood and carve two similar ones.

You know what, it’s much more efficient.

When Xu Ruolan arrived, they had already finished half of the process.

"Mom, are you done with your work?" Liu Xu faced the door and saw her mother coming.

"Well, what are you doing?" Xu Ruolan asked puzzledly.

"Rub the corn. Rub the seeds off and then you can germinate them and grow seedlings."

"So... this thing isn't planted one by one, but one by one?"

"Yeah, if you sow one seed, it will grow into one this big, or even two. Hehe, mom, now you know why I say this is a good thing!"

Not only Xu Ruolan, but also the other servants who helped were stunned.

This one must be about one or two kilograms, right? How many kilograms does this bag weigh?

Xu Ruolan thought more about it. Xu'er had said before that this thing is not picky about the land and can be planted in dry land... If the whole Dongsheng plants it, then will the people no longer go hungry in the future?

"Xu'er, these things must be kept secret. Aunt Lin, you and Uncle He should remember to tell the people at home not to let any news leak out!"

"Madam, rest assured, I will save you the trouble!"

"No, Xu'er, I have to write a letter to your second uncle right away, just in case."

Xu Ruolan is not a fool. It is her blessing that such a thing was discovered by Xuer, but if it is leaked, it will be a disaster rather than a blessing for their family.

Liu Xu also thought of it and stood up, "Aunt Lin, you guys peel it first. Mother, let's go to my room."

They were already peeling the fruits in her study, and they couldn't ask Aunt Lin to move out to peel them.

As a result, as soon as Liu Xu stepped out of the door, her little follower slammed the door shut.

Liu Xu's mouth twitched: There's no need to be so strict...

Xu Ruolan was also at a loss for words. She could only say that this girl was truly loyal...

In the morning, Doctor Meng came to help with the injection, and Liu Laishun was able to sit up and eat. Liu Xiumei told Xu Ruolan that they would go to the old house to have lunch today and spend time with the two elders.

So, currently only these few people know that corn has such a high yield.

In the room, Liu Xu was helping her mother grind ink while casually saying:

"Mom, my second uncle is in the Ministry of Revenue. If he reports the discovery of new grains like corn, would that be considered a great achievement?"

"Huh?" Xu Ruolan was stunned. "It was my mother who didn't think it through. She only wanted your second uncle to protect our family."

As she spoke, she put down the pen in her hand, reached out and pulled the catkins over, and looked at her daughter gently and seriously.

"Xu'er, mother doesn't know how high the yield of corn and potatoes can be, but no matter who reports these two things, it is a great contribution to the country."

"Mother knows that you have a deeper relationship with Yifei and even the young marquis than with your uncle whom you have never met. Therefore, mother will leave the decision of who to write this letter to you."

"Mom, if I write the letter to Brother Huaijin, will you blame me?" Liu Xu asked cautiously.

Xu Ruolan paused for a moment after hearing this, then smiled gently and said, "Silly child, since I said so, I will never blame you. Of course, it is true that I feel a little disappointed, but I respect your thoughts!"

"Mom, you are so kind!" Liu Xu's eyes turned red instantly, and she stretched out her arms and hugged Xu Ruolan.

"Be good and don't cry! Now that you have made up your mind, just write. Mother will grind ink for you." Xu Ruolan patted her daughter's head and comforted her.

"Mom, please write it!" Liu Xu raised his little head from his mother's arms, smiling with curved eyebrows.

"Didn't you say..." Xu Ruolan was a little surprised.

"Mom, the status of the Mu family does not require this merit. My uncle is my relative. If my second uncle can use this merit to make further progress, our family will be more stable."

It’s not that Liu Xu didn’t think about the Chang family, but the Chang family didn’t go to court, and giving them money would end up paving the way for others.

Besides, Xu Mingli was her uncle. Although she had never met him, she knew everything from him. The Xu family had been looking for her mother for so long, and Grandpa An and others could tell that they were a good family. Therefore, it was unreasonable for her to let an outsider take advantage of her.
