"Dongxu, Li Wuwei knows how to use a sewing machine. He promised to teach your wife, so I'm happy to give him these shoes.”
Jia Zhang-shi felt that this was different from the last time she gave him shoes. She was not at a disadvantage.
"He knows how to use a sewing machine?"
Jia Dongxu was a little confused. This had to wait. This was unreasonable.
"Brother, why don't we go to your house and take a look at the sewing machines? They're all the same models bought in department stores and have the same functions.”
Li Wuwei had only promised the church how to use it, but this was not enough. He still had to learn how to tailor clothes. Otherwise, he could only sew and mend, and could not make clothes.
Jia Dongxu was about to refuse, but he remembered that he had brought back something good, which made him envious.
"Li Wuwei, I need to see that you can use a sewing machine. Otherwise, I'll have to return the shoes.”
He was still wearing a pair of half-worn shoes. He didn't even get this kind of treatment.
"No big deal. I never lie."
Li Wuwei immediately got up, returned the stool to Mrs. Chen, and followed her to the Jia family's house. In his memory, he had never been to this house before, so the aunties followed him to watch the show.
When he entered the house, he saw that it was quite different from the one in the drama, but it was more simple and crude. The sewing machine was eye-catching.
He went forward to take a look and reached his hand down. There was a circular movable plate that could be turned over. After fiddling with it a few times, he turned the sewing machine over.
It was designed to be hidden and could be used as a table when not in use. There was also a movable extension board on the side, which was convenient for using the iron.
"Bring me a stool."
"Alright!"
Jia Zhang-shi hurriedly handed over a stool. She was excited. Soon, she would have new clothes to wear.
Seeing that everything was ready, Li Wuwei bought a sewing machine with a ball of thread and a needle. He chose a needle and put the thread on.
This was much bigger than the needle hole used at home, and it was very easy to wear.
He placed the ball of thread on the sewing machine, grabbed the circular movable wheel, and turned it. The needle moved up and down without any problems.
"Just find a piece of cloth and try it.”
"Brother Li, here you go."
Chen Bi Hua handed over a piece of cloth. She was also very excited that she could learn from him.
Li Wuwei placed the cloth on the metal plate. After pressing it on, he stepped on the pedal and pressed his hand on the edge of the cloth. He slowly pushed it forward and the cloth was sewn.
"Aiya, he really knows how to use it!"
"Look, how fast it's sewn. It's so convenient to change clothes. If you put the cloth on it, it can really become clothes.”
The aunties were surprised to see this. When they went outside, they also bragged about it.
Jia Dongxu was dumbstruck. Why did this kid know everything? Couldn't he leave a way out for the good guys?
"Jia Zhang-shi, I didn't lie to you, did I? Don't think it's easy. You need to practice for a while to coordinate your hands and feet well. I'll teach your wife when I'm free.”
Li Wuwei cut a line on the cloth and stopped.
If he couldn't survive tomorrow, he would open a family workshop to teach his new daughter-in-law how to use the sewing machine.
"You're not bad this time. I'll give you the shoes I promised you.”
Jia Zhang-shi saw that her sewing machine was working, and her heart was at ease.
"Alright, then I'll teach tomorrow. Bihua just came back, so I still have to pack up.”
Seeing that Auntie Wang wasn't around, Li Wuwei had to make a trip to the front yard. He couldn't neglect any of the aunties in the yard.
"Don't! Li Wuwei, sit here for a while. I'll finish packing in a while."”
Jia Dongxu was anxious. How could he show off after she left?
He immediately gave his wife a look. She could take out the good stuff.
Chen Bi Hua was immediately put in a difficult position. However, she had brought a lot of things with her when she transmigrated, so there was nothing wrong with letting everyone take a look.
He immediately placed the bag on the table and opened it. Everyone surrounded it to watch the show.
Li Wuwei was no exception. As a result, when he went over, Jia Zhangshi even took the initiative to pull out a stool for him and let him sit on the main seat.
This was the seat that Old Merchant had sat in back then, right? This was not right. How could the dignified Jia Zhangshi know how to care for others?
Chen Bi Hua quickly took out the items one after another. The first was a large bag of mountain products. There were dried mushrooms, dried bamboo shoots, and wild dangshen.
The dangshen that Chen Bi Hua took out was a large bunch of dried dangshen. It was quite old and was considered a good thing. The price was also quite expensive. One catty could be sold for four yuan. It was not bad for stewing meat.
Following that, he took out some dry herbs, such as Lysimachia, Dwarf Tea Wind, and Seven Fields. He did not recognize the rest, nor did he know their value.
There were also wild Chinese yams here. They were not bad either.
He also took out a big bag of sweet potatoes. It was 3.5 catties, so pigs could not eat it.
Finally, he took a skewer of smoked sparrow meat, a few smoked bamboo chickens, and a dried duck. They were also smoked and were all dry goods.
Chen Bihua added," My parents even gave me ten yuan. This year, they forgot to inform us in advance. All the fresh chickens and ducks were taken away by my sister-in-law."”
She had almost finished looting the house. She was only missing some noodles and wheat to leave for her parents.
Li Wuwei nodded and commented," It's already very good. My Dongxu brother has earned a lot. I envy him for marrying such a good wife."”
"Hey!"
Chen Bi Hua felt that Li Wuwei treated her quite well. Last time, he had even helped her come up with an idea, which was why he had received Dong Xu's salary.
"It's pretty good!"
Jia Dongxu was smug. Although he wasn't satisfied that he didn't get more meat, he still had ten yuan.
"Alright, Bihua, my Jia family didn't marry the wrong wife.”
Jia Zhang-shi was also happy. Wouldn't there be New Year goods in this house?
However, Li Wuwei suddenly reached out and took a pinch of dangshen. It was only three taels. It was good stuff. Anyone who saw it would have a share.
"Dongxu, you know that my stomach is not good. Take some of these roots back to stew meat. You can teach your wife diligently in the future. I can also repair sewing machines.”
"No, why did you take it?”
Jia Dongxu didn't recognize what this root was, but his wife had brought it. How could he let Li Wuwei take advantage of his family's things?
Who knew that Jia Zhangshi would say," Dongxu, look at you. We have so many things in our house. How much did he take? It doesn't matter."”
Chen Bi Hua's lips moved. The most expensive herb she brought home was the dangshen. It was hidden by her parents. It could be exchanged for 3.8 yuan per catty at the purchasing station. If she sold it to a private person, there would be people fighting to buy it for 4.5 yuan.
Her parents had saved up for a long time to earn it. It was only a little more than one catty, and she had lost two taels of mistress. However, when she thought about how Li Wuwei treated her well, she did not say anything.
Seeing that everyone was looking, Jia Dongxu could only say,""Alright, you're lucky."
"East Dawn, not cheap!"
Li Wuwei smiled and picked up the codonopsorium pilosum to run. Before he left, he found two wild Chinese yam. This thing could nourish the kidney and make the stewed pork ribs delicious.
"No, why are you still taking it!"
Jia Dongxu almost chased after him. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have left this little person behind.
"Dongxu, he's such a shameless person.”
Jia Zhang-shi pretended to be generous. The aunties were all watching. Her old Jia family did not lack money.
"Bihua, tell me, what are these good things? Why doesn't Mom recognize many of them?”
Jia Zhangshi also married into the city from the countryside. Unfortunately, her village was poor and did not have a mountain to rely on. She could not even find some wild vegetables if she went late, let alone these medicinal herbs.
"En, this is short tea wind, it's especially good for coughs. This is Plantago Seed, Tian Qi…"
At the end of her sentence, Chen Bi Hua paused for a moment before saying,""This is the root of dangshen. With such good quality, the dry goods can be sold for 4.5 yuan per catty.”
"How much?"
Jia Zhang-shi was stunned. This one jin was equivalent to six jin of fat meat.
"Wife, did you just say 4.5 yuan per catty?”
Jia Dongxu was numb. He wanted to run out of the house after he regained his senses." Aiya, Li Wuwei must know what's good for him. He took away a little three taels."”
"Oh my god, this is immoral. This is the dangshen that my wife brought back. It's a great tonic.”
Jia Zhangshi had never eaten such good food in her life. When her son and daughter-in-law were not paying attention, she secretly took one and hid it in her pocket. When she was free, she took it and chewed it raw.
"Mom, Dongxu, forget it! There's still one catty left at home. It's enough for you to replenish your body. There's also Chinese yam that's very nourishing.”
Chen Bi Hua's heart also ached. Only Li Wuwei's meat was worth more than one yuan. It was almost two catties of meat.
Jia Zhang-shi was unable to calm down. She still owed that bad boy eight pairs of shoes. Not only did he snatch Qin Huairu away, but he also stole the good stuff from her new daughter-in-law's family.
"Bihua, I'll listen to you this time. Only Li Wuwei isn't here, or else I'll definitely give him a few blows to teach him a lesson.”
Jia Dongxu refused to admit it and quickly packed his things so that no one else could find them.
But he didn't know that the aunties in this courtyard were not easy to deal with. Seeing that Jia Zhangshi was stealing, they didn't care if the things were good or not. They had already stolen some, but they didn't dare to touch the ginseng, which was too expensive.
When the aunties left the Jia residence, they looked at each other and smiled.
"Li Wuwei is still the best. He can even take advantage of the Jia family, and in front of others.”
"That's right. We also followed suit and searched a little. I took a Chinese yam.”
"I lost out. I only took a sweet potato.”
"I'm fine. I caught a handful of dried mushrooms.”
"Wait, I just came back to my senses. Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhangshi didn't know about the ginseng, but my wife, Chen Bi Hua, did.”
"Now that you mention it, it's true. Chen Bi Hua didn't expose Li Wuwei. Why was that? She just called him Brother Li. I think there's something wrong.”
"Stop talking. Chen Bi Hua is already pregnant. There's no chance to do anything.”
At this point, the aunties suddenly looked at each other again. Let's go, let's go. Don't spread gossip and make Jia Dongxu cuckold.
