She gave birth to three daughters in a row, and was kicked out by her mother-in-law who favored boys

Chapter 454 The 1st Business

"What? Five thousand pounds?"

"Hiss! Did I hear it wrong? Could it be 500 kilograms?"

"Five thousand kilograms? How much does five thousand kilograms cost? Li Yu, Li Yu, please help me calculate how much money we can earn from five thousand kilograms." Li Er's sudden question, coupled with his look like a monkey with its butt scalded, immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the village.

However, their gazes did not linger on him for too long, but instead shifted to Li Yu.

It seemed as if everyone was unable to think at this moment and were just waiting for Li Yu to give them an answer.

Li Yu smiled at everyone, but turned to Gu Qingqing and asked, "How much is it?"

"As agreed before."

Li Yudian raised his head and said "hmm", as if talking to himself, "Before, it was 300 coins for 50 catties, and one catty was 6 coins. So, for 5,000 catties, it would be..."

Hiss, there was a hissing sound of inhaling cool air on the field, and the blinking eyes seemed to urge him to hurry up and tell him how much silver it was.

"Thirty taels of silver! Yes, thirty taels of silver." Li Yu said calmly and loudly.

sizzle!

The sound of inhaling air came again from all directions.

"Thirty taels of silver?"

"Our mountain is starting to make money! God bless!"

"I can only earn thirty taels of silver from five thousand kilograms, which is just enough for us to buy the mountain. It's not a lot!" Li Er fantasized that his family could earn thirty taels of silver, but the money still needed to be distributed to the villagers.

"Li Er, if you think it's too little, just quit now. I will refund you the amount you paid that day." Some people in the village were annoyed when they heard Li Er's words, which were not very serious.

"You're dreaming, Wang. I never said the money was small. I just said it casually. Besides, if you want to return it, you can't return it according to the asking price at that time. I've been carrying people's burdens a lot during this period, and my shoulders are all calloused." Li Er shouted in dissatisfaction with his chest puffed out and his neck stiffened.

The others naturally knew that their share could not be withdrawn easily, but it was pleasing to see Li Er being criticized.

Wu Shan was in a good mood today. He ignored the quarrels and walked straight to Gu Qingqing and asked, "Did you say when you will receive this batch of goods? Do you really want to buy 5,000 kilograms?"

Gu Qingqing nodded, "This matter cannot be faked. They said that we will get as much as we can in two days, and the rest must be paid before the end of the year."

"Hehehe, why does it feel like I'm dreaming. I sold 5,000 kilograms in the blink of an eye." Wu Shan said excitedly.

"I think the county magistrate is very excited about our village's production. Uncle Wu, this is a good thing. It won't be long before the news of our village's high grain production spreads to many places. If our village has time, we should burn more lime and put it there. I think other villages will come to buy it soon."

"Hahaha, okay, okay, I'll listen to you. It just so happens that we just removed a large piece of the cliff over there a while ago. Now we just need to carry the stones back and we can burn them."

Wu Shan turned around and waved his arm at the people present, saying loudly, "Be quick, whoever wants to collect grain should do so as soon as possible, and those who don't should tell me and follow their team to carry the stones down from the mountain. Whoever slacks off at this critical moment will be kicked out of the lime burning team."

I don’t know why, but at this moment everyone’s eyes were focused on Li Er.

Li Er felt uncomfortable being stared at by everyone, and he shouted in a bluffing manner, "Look at what I am doing. The sorghum in my field was just harvested today, so I'm going to take it home."

"Li Yu." Wu Shan shouted.

"Village chief, I'm here." Li Yu came out from the crowd.

"You are still in charge of registration. In addition to the tasks that each team must complete, if the last team to do less work, give their reward to the team that did more work."

"I understand, village chief." Li Yu nodded heavily on the side.

"Although we haven't seen the money yet, this is indeed our first income. You must keep good records of this."

Li Yu kept smiling and said, "Don't worry, village chief and everyone."

As Li Yu finished speaking, some team leaders in the crowd began to howl. Although they had not seen the money yet, since it was the county magistrate who asked for it, how could it be false?

"Come on, come on, as long as your family doesn't collect food today, all the young and old men will follow me up the mountain."

"Brothers, we can't lose to them. Let's work hard later."

"Team Three, we can't lose to Team One and Two. Those who don't want to work, follow me."

Following the calls from several team leaders, the crowd that had gathered together immediately dispersed.

Seeing Wu Shan was about to leave, Gu Qingqing stopped him and said, "I don't know why Lord Chen told me about this alone. When he comes next time, I'll tell him to contact you directly if he needs anything in the future."

"Hahaha, it doesn't matter. As long as we can sell the village's lime, it doesn't matter who we find."

Gu Qingqing smiled at him. She didn't want to be a sales representative. There were too many things to worry about. Now she just wanted to focus on taking care of her own family affairs.

"Village chief, village affairs naturally have to go through you. This is an opportunity for me to show off. Besides, it's not appropriate for a village woman like me to go every time. Besides, my belly got bigger later and I don't have the energy anymore." Gu Qingqing continued to refuse.

"Okay, whatever you say." After saying that, Wu Shan walked away happily with his arms behind his back.

Zhao Dong and his friends came over, looked at the big sacks and bare sorghum stalks at the edge of the field and asked, "Boss, are the sorghum and the stalks drying in the front yard? Or in the open space outside the gate?"

"Brother Dong, tie the sorghum stalks into bundles with straw and throw them at the wall of the yard to dry slowly. The sorghum heads can be dried in the front yard. It will make you feel happy to look at these grains every day."

"Hahaha, let's dry the grains wherever the boss says. They'll look nice drying in the yard. Then let's take the grains back first." Zhao Dong laughed heartily, and then he and Zhao Bei moved the grains bag by bag onto the large flatbed truck.

Seeing that they wanted to use manpower to pull the cart, Gu Qingqing smiled and joked, "Brother Dong, even though it's only a few steps away, there are mules eating grass over there, but you still want people to pull the cart."

"Sister-in-law, you said it's just a few steps away. In the time we have to harness the cart, we can have pulled these to the doorstep." Zhao Bei, who was responsible for pushing the cart from the back, turned his head and answered.

Gu Qingqing didn't care and just smiled.

Then the man with the sickle walked in a direction where there were vines that could be used as ropes.

When Gu Qingqing came back from cutting vines, she saw more than a dozen children running out of the house one after another. When these children passed by Gu Qingqing, they all stopped running. Some called Gu Qingqing sister-in-law, some called her aunt, and some even called her aunt.

"Okay, all is well. When you get home from school, remember to help the adults with work. Run slower and go back." Gu Qingqing spoke happily to the children.

"Aunt, we're here. What should we do now?" Li Xin, who was tall and fast, ran to Gu Qingqing first and asked.

"Mom, I'm here too." Wen Xin followed closely.
