Chapter 205 Call Him Husband
This was also the sudden idea that came to Chen Yuejin after seeing the work, and he felt that he could make use of Li Luo's craftsmanship.
"Sister-in-law..." Before Chen Yuejin could say anything, he was stopped by Ling Zhuoqun.
"Your sister-in-law is busy, don't disturb her."
"But this is our breeding farm." Chen Yuejin said somewhat embarrassedly.
"Of course there are other ways to deal with this matter. Even if we spend a little more money and purchase the products from outside, it is not a bad idea." Ling Zhuoqun's every intention was to protect Li Luo and not want him to be too tired.
"What's wrong?" Li Luo was a little confused as to why the two were pushing and shoving each other. Their actions seemed a little too ambiguous.
"No, it's okay, sister-in-law." Chen Yuejin hesitated, making Li Luo's expression even more solemn.
"Husband, didn't you say that you would not hide anything from me?" The word "husband" made Ling Zhuoqun stunned on the spot, his body stiffening.
She called her husband in public?
Clearly, she had refused to call him hubby in private two days before, and it was only after he coaxed her and showed his love for her that she gently called him hubby.
But he was so happy that he didn't know what to do, but calling him husband today felt like he was calling him an accuser.
"I'm fine." Ling Zhuoqun's tone softened, not as tough as when he faced Chen Yuejin just now.
"Since there's nothing wrong, why is Brother Chen hesitant to talk to me?" Li Luo tilted his head, not believing Ling Zhuoqun's explanation at all.
When Chen Yuejin saw Ling Zhuoqun looking like a bullied young wife when Li Luo questioned her, the contrast made Chen Yuejin very happy, thinking that it turned out that Brother Ling also had to bow his head in front of his sister-in-law.
He would definitely make fun of him when he got the chance.
"Ahem, sister-in-law, it's like this. Our farm has been worrying about what small gifts to give to foreign guests. Now I saw that sister-in-law can embroider, so I thought, if I can show off her embroidery skills."
“A hand-embroidered handkerchief is a valuable gift that is also thoughtful.”
After listening to Chen Yuejin's explanation, Li Luo nodded.
Just like when she attended banquets before, there were always so-called souvenirs. Li Luo had thought about this when they held their wedding, but because she was too busy, she forgot about it.
When Chen Yuejin proposed this idea, Li Luo had no objection.
However, Ling Zhuoqun was worried that the project was too complicated and would tire his wife out.
"It's just a few pieces of embroidery. If necessary, I will buy some fine materials and embroider them according to the customers' preferences." Li Luo was very happy that he could help Ling Zhuoqun.
"Brother Ling, look, my sister-in-law is the one with vision and brains. I'm doing this for the good of our breeding farm." Chen Yuejin quickly took credit for it.
"In that case, Luoluo will be paid according to the highest standards of our farm. After all, craftsmanship is priceless." Ling Zhuoqun looked at Li Luo affectionately.
Chen Yuejin couldn't help but complain: "We are obviously a family, why are you still dividing what's yours and what's mine? You're also paying your sister-in-law a salary. Shouldn't all the money you earn still be given to your sister-in-law?"
But Ling Zhuoqun shook his head: "That's different. The money I earn belongs to my family. It's the reward for my hard work on the farm. But we can't bury Luo Luo's contribution." Li Luo waved her hand quickly: "It's my honor to be able to help with the farm. Husband, there's really no need to separate us."
"No, Luoluo, this is a public matter, so we must handle it impartially, instead of just discussing it between us as husband and wife."
"There are also special people to purchase handkerchiefs. If you need anything, just ask for it."
"Yes, sister-in-law, even if I don't ask you and ask someone else to embroider this handkerchief, it will cost a lot of money."
"But Brother Ling giving you this money is just a matter of transferring money from one hand to the other. In the end, it is essentially a matter of keeping the money within the family."
"If we let outsiders earn this money, isn't it better than if our family members earn it?"
Seeing that Chen Yuejin had said so much, Li Luo stopped talking. Moreover, Ling Zhuoqun always considered her in everything, and it seemed a bit too hypocritical for her to insist on doing it for love.
"Okay, wait until I finish this embroidery. If you need more handkerchiefs, just call me. Also, I will go with you when you choose the materials."
Li Luo can tell which material is most suitable just by touching it.
"If that's the case, then it couldn't be better. We are just a bunch of rough guys. If your sister-in-law is willing to help, it will save us a lot of trouble." Chen Yuejin said with a smile.
"Sister-in-law, what do you think of this? I'll give you ten yuan for each handkerchief. For every ten pieces you buy, I'll give you an extra ten yuan."
Li Luo agreed immediately. In the past, with her craftsmanship, a piece of handicraft would cost at least tens of thousands of yuan, but since it was her family's property, she just charged a friendly price.
In the blink of an eye, several people started talking about money-making projects, and Qi Nana was almost stunned.
"Do you really think making money is as easy as drinking water?" Qi Nana only earned a pitiful 50 yuan a month, and she helped her master purely out of love, without any subsidies.
Although she could learn the craft from a master, her embroidery skills still needed to be honed, and she was not as talented as Li Luo, so it was not her turn to make money.
This time, Qi Nana finally asked the real culprit.
"Is it difficult to make money? Every time we sell a pig, we make about 280 yuan. Plus some government subsidies, the more pigs we sell, the more bonuses we get."
"But even if I tell you this, you probably don't understand. In other words, breeding farms are a sure-win business nowadays."
When it comes to business, Chen Yuejin always speaks very clearly. Although Qi Nana is confused, it seems that this self-employed economy does make a lot more money than some of their so-called "iron rice bowls".
Moreover, many places are now vigorously supporting self-employed individuals, so maybe I am really too narrow-minded.
"What you said made me want to quit my job at the textile factory and come work at your farm."
Even though Qi Nana was joking, it didn't mean she wasn't moved.
"No, you are a delicate girl, you'd better not go to these places. Even though you can make a lot of money, breeding pigs and applying pesticides are not something a little girl can do."
What Chen Yuejin said was all true. They were a group of grown men who were busy catching pigs for breeding every day. Sometimes, if they were not careful, their hands would be covered with fishy smell.
