??Chapter 68 Do a little business
??Shu Yu has something to say to the old lady, Lu Sanzhuchu is really irritating here.
?? She handed him two buns, and Lu Sanzhu turned around and ran away as if she was afraid that she would go back on it.
?? When he was gone, the old lady said, "It's really one thing, one thing, it's rare for the third child to be so well-behaved."
??Shu Yu poured her a glass of water, and then let the big tiger eat slowly, and then said, "Uncle San has no other advantages. It's a very good look."
??The old lady smiled and ate all the buns in her hand.
?? She hadn't eaten meat buns for a long time, and she couldn't hold back just now.
??Shu Yu handed her another one, and the old lady waved her hand, "Enough, don't eat. Erya, you just said you had something to discuss with me, what is it?"
?? "I would like to ask, what is the main source of income for our family?"
Source of income? Such a statement, the old lady did not respond for a while.
?? was stunned for a moment before saying, "You mean how does our family make money, right?"
Shu Yu nodded, but the old lady didn't hide it from her, "Our family had seven or eight acres of land, and we have sold a few acres over the years. Especially after your father broke his leg, he needed a lot of money to treat his leg. Now there are only three acres of land left."
??Three acres of land were cooked by the old lady and Nguyen.
?? Both of them are very diligent, but no matter how diligent they are, the food is only so little, and there is not much left after paying the tax.
"Besides this place, your mother and I do some needlework to subsidize the family. As for your father, he has bad legs and can't go to the ground, so he stays at home. He used to be an apprentice with Master for a few years, and he can do carpentry work. He made some small pieces of wood and sold them, but he couldn't chop the wood up the mountain, so he could only buy it. He didn't make much money by going back and forth like this. In addition to his appearance, he couldn't sit for a long time, otherwise his legs and feet would become numb. It’s more troublesome, and the work will naturally be slower.”
??Shu Yu understood that although the current Lu family has planted three acres of land, it should not be enough to feed themselves.
??The rest are needlework and small woodwork. He doesn't earn much. He also has to pay for the family's living expenses, Lu Erbai's medical expenses, and even travel expenses to find the missing daughter.
?? After the old lady finished speaking, her face was also sad.
??Although they are confident, as long as the legs of the second child are cured, the days to come will be better and better. But she also heard from Doctor Xu that even if the second leg is healed, it will not be as flexible as before.
?? There are only a few laborers at home, and life is still difficult.
??Shu Yu pondered for a while and then said, "Daddy, have you ever thought about renting out those acres of land, let's do some small business ourselves?"
"Small business?" The old lady was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, "No, your mother and I don't have any craftsmanship, so we can only farm the land. This small business is not so easy to do. Besides, it still costs money, It is difficult for our family to even take out a hundred copper plates."
?? "Why don't you have any craftsmanship? Aren't you and your mother good at sewing?"
?? "I also sew and mend clothes. Your mother's needlework is good, but compared to the embroiderers in the city, it's not a little bit worse. It's fine to repair an ordinary handkerchief fan, but the rest can't be on the table."
?? The old lady waved her hands again and again, feeling that Shu Yu's idea was a little naive.
?? But Shu Yu said, "It's not important, it doesn't matter if my mother's embroidery work is not as good as her embroidery, but I've seen her skillful and beautiful in sewing clothes. That's enough."
