When Lin Qingwan came back this time, she found that the food at home had worsened again. It was worse than before. There was no oil in the dishes, and the rice was also multigrain rice, and the weight seemed to have decreased a lot.

She didn't know it was because Yang Tiezhu was injured and didn't get any money back. In order to collect the 50 taels for Yang Xuezhang, Mrs. He and Mr. Yang sold a lot of food for their family. It's very hard.

Yang Tiezhu smiled bitterly in his heart, expecting He's to open a small stove for him? That's harder than getting to the sky.

When Lin Qingwan was eating by herself, she thought about various issues while eating. Finally decided to...

"Let's start a small stove by ourselves."

Yang Tiezhu glanced at his daughter-in-law, not knowing what to say.

Lin Qingwan didn't wait for Yang Tiezhu to give any advice, she usually has to do what she wants.

"It happens that we have a stove in our cubicle. It should be no problem to open a small stove for you."

Yang Tiezhu thought about it and thought it was fine. Although he thinks it doesn't matter what he eats, but his daughter-in-law is worried about his body, he can't object. Moreover, he also felt that the food at home was not very good when he ate today's lunch, and after thinking about it, he understood what was going on.

"Let's see what to do, then I'll tell the third brother and let him help you out."

The matter of opening the small stove was decided in this way.

After Lin Qingwan thought about it, she went to the main room to talk to Mr. Yang and Mrs. He.

Lin Qingwan repeated what the old doctor said to Mr. Yang, saying that Yang Tiezhu had escaped from death this time, his vitality was severely injured and he had lost too much blood, and he had to make up for it, so they wanted to open a small stove for Yang Tiezhu.

After Mr. Yang heard it, he agreed, but he didn't ask Lin Qingwan if they had any money for such a small stove. Mr. He's face was sullen, and he didn't say anything against it, but only said that there was nothing at home to cook a small stove for them.

Lin Qingwan ignored her, and with the consent of Mr. Yang, she turned to look for Yang Tiegen. During the whole process, Lin Qingwan's face was stiff, she was not ready to laugh at the old couple like she used to, reluctant to come, and she did not want to reluctantly.

She was thinking about how to turn on the small stove to be more convenient. She wanted to reorganize the stove in the small cubicle, because at that time Yang Tiezhu just wanted to leave a stove for hot water, so there was only one stove in the small cubicle. The stove, if you want to cook in it, it is definitely not enough. Anyway, the open space in the small cubicle is quite large, so she wants to make it bigger.

Yao shi listened to her plan, discussed with Yang Tiegen, and decided to renovate the third room and the second room together. She had long planned to have a small cubicle like the second room, and just this time, she asked a mason to do it together.

The mason was still the one that Yang Tiezhu had hired last time. Although Yang Tiegen couldn't build the stove by himself, he could still do it, so the stove in the second room was built very quickly.

Lin Qingwan thought about it, and arranged the layout of the small cubicle again. The major changes were not made, that is, a small half wall was built next to the stove, and the position of the toilet was separated from the position of the stove. A curtain was hung at the place, and a small half wall was built where the tub was placed, and a cloth curtain was hung as a partition. In this way, the convenient place for bathing and bathing is isolated.

Then she found a carpenter in the village and made a row of simple shelves next to the wall, where she could put things for the stove and so on.

After the mason remodeled the second room, he went to remodel the third room.

He looked very bad when he saw that Sanfang was also making a big move in the room. After calling Yang Tiegen over to ask, he realized that Sanfang was a separate room for bathing. But the masons had already started work, and the He family had no way to drive them back. Knowing that this was brought out by the second wife's daughter-in-law, it made He's face even less good for Lin Qingwan.

Lin Qingwan didn't care whether the He family had a good face towards her, anyway, the He family had no good face towards her before. If she wronged herself and her man in order to make He look good to her, she would rather not. What's more, she didn't want any good face from the He family, including Mr. Yang. They are now living their own lives, and the reason why they are still here is just forced by the situation.

The stove was ready, but many things on the stove were missing, so Lin Qingwan decided to go to town.

Yao shi went with Lin Qingwan, one was to accompany Lin Qingwan, and the other was that she could go shopping after finishing her work. Lin Qingwan's purses were also finished, so they brought them together.

The two went to the town together, first went to Jinxiufang to do some work, and then came back with some purses. Lin Qingwan got 360 cents, and Yao got 120 cents.

Lin Qingwan looked at the small bag of copper coins in her hand and felt that it was a drop in the bucket.

Although all the money she and Yang Tiezhu had added up was less than 40 taels of silver, Lin Qingwan couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis. Yang Tiezhu still doesn't know when he will be fully recovered, and he can't go out to make money for the time being. He changed the stove at home and made a wooden shelf. The things on the stove have not been bought yet. Lin Qingwan estimates that it will cost about 4 or 5 taels together. There is also a small stove for Yang Tiezhu, and the ingredients must be bought at their own expense, which is another expense.

With no income at all for at least the next 3 months, Lin Qingwan couldn't help thinking of increasing income and reducing expenditure. Throttling is impossible, these must be done, then open source.

Lin Qingwan thought for a while, but Jinxiufang bought some good embroidery threads, a high-quality ruler, and a pair of embroidery frames. Yao Shi didn't understand why Lin Qingwan was spending these unjust money, but the shopkeeper Su of Jinxiufang thought.

I understood after a while, and I couldn't help but look forward to what kind of embroidery Lin Qingwan could bring her.

After taking over the embroidery work and buying the embroidery thread ruler, Lin Qingwan took Yao Shi to buy something to use on the stove. Some things were bought, because most of them were made of iron, so they were more expensive, and they cost more than one or two silver.

After buying things, the two women couldn't carry them, so they could only store them at the iron shop owner first. Lin Qingwan went to the town market to buy some rice noodles, bowls and chopsticks, as well as condiments, etc., and bought two pig trotters, two jī and some dishes.

Yao Shi was very excited to receive 120 wen today, and it was rare to buy some snacks, cakes, candies and the like for the two children in the family.

It's already past noon.

Lin Qingwan took Yao Shi to find a noodle stall and sat down, ready to eat lunch first.

The noodles are clear soup noodles, just put a few leaves of green vegetables, and a small bowl of noodles costs 3 cents.

Yao Shi felt that it was not worth it, and told Lin Qingwan that it was fine to buy two steamed buns to eat.

Lin Qingwan didn't listen to her and forced her to sit down. It is said that eating is secondary, the key is to take a break here.

It’s true that people who eat steamed buns don’t have tables, chairs, and benches for you to use. You can only eat steamed buns while squatting in the corner. Two women squatting in the corner to eat steamed buns. How ugly. The idea of ​​saving money.

Yao shi thought about it, and he was really tired after walking around all morning, so he didn't object anymore.

After a while, the boss brought up two bowls of noodles.

The two of them started eating. Lin Qingwan felt that the noodles were made ordinary, so they put a few leaves and not even a whistle, but the noodles were made with white noodles, which was not bad. The Yao family thought it was delicious, because the Yang family ate coarse grains all year round, and the wheat they planted was exchanged for money.

After eating the noodles and sitting for a while, Lin Qingwan felt that she was almost at rest, so she paid for the noodles and got up with Yao Shi.

I went to the market to buy some things that I didn't buy in the morning, and then went to the special rental car place in the market to rent an ox cart.

Lin Qingwan bought too many items, and the items were heavy, and the two women couldn't make it without renting a car. I talked to the owner of the ox cart about the price, agreed to carry their belongings into the cart with a 20-cent wallet, and then sent them back to Luoxia Village.

After going to the iron shop to pick up the things, the owner of the ox cart helped them load them into the car, and Lin Qingwan and Yao shi went back to Luoxia Village in the ox cart.

When they arrived at the gate of Yang's house, Yang Tiegen greeted them when they came back, and helped Lin Qingwan bring things to the second house. Wang Shi saw that Lin Qingwan had bought so many things and came back, so she also greeted her.

"Oh, my second brother and sister, did you buy so many things?"

Lin Qingwan pulled the corners of her mouth at her without smiling, and said, "No way, I want to set up a small stove for Tie Zhu, and I have to cook every day at home, I can't occupy the stove at home, so I won't let you eat. It's more convenient if you can only buy it yourself."

"Oh, what are so many guys, a lot of money?"

Lin Qingwan ignored her, but turned around and paid the owner of the ox cart. After a while, Yang Tiegen had already moved everything in.

Lin Qingwan and Yao shi entered the courtyard, and Wang shi also followed.

"Oh, the third sibling has also made a fortune, and came back after buying so many things?" Wang shi looked at Lin Qingwan and ignored her, and then aimed at the small burden in Yao shi's hand.

It was the embroidery work that Yao shi brought back, and some sweets she bought for the child.

Lin Qingwan rolled her eyes secretly, turned around and took the burden from Yao's hand, and said to Wang's, "Sister-in-law, this is not something belonging to the third sibling, it was taken for me."

Wang Shi pouted angrily, and she knew that the three-bedroom poor haha, where would she be willing to buy things back.

After thinking about it again, the second room bought so many things, but spent a lot of money. Where does the money come from? Also, Yang Tiezhu didn't seem to ask his family for the money for medicine. Where did the second house get so much money?

Thinking of this, her eyes lit up.

"Second brother and sister, you have a lot of private houses in your second room. If you didn't ask your family for the money for medicine, you also bought so many things."

Mr. He, who had been standing at the door of the main room watching the movement here, heard that Mr. Wang couldn't open which pot to lift, and immediately shouted: " Mrs. Wang, you're all right when you're full, aren't you? Hurry up and help me bring me And your father's clothes have been washed!"

When Lin Qingwan heard this, she said angrily to Mrs. Wang, "Sister-in-law, are you very concerned about our second room? Would you like to lend us some money? It just so happens that we are short of money and 'famine'."

Thinking of the large sum of money for medicine in the second room, Wang hurriedly waved, "Where do I have any money?"
