Transmigration: Becoming the Wicked Stepmother of Four Children

Chapter 223 Everyone's rushing to pay the deposit

Li Xiuming stared incredulously at the silver on the table.

"Xuan'er, did I hear that right? You mean..."

Would your classmates really be willing to spend a tael of silver to buy your aunt's schoolbag?

Li Mingxuan looked at his father's incredulous expression.

He nodded seriously and said:

"Father, you heard me right."

The students really loved the schoolbags their aunt made.

They found it very novel and were all rushing to pay the deposit.

Look at this registration form, it's packed with names.

They're all students who want to order backpacks.

Li Xiuming looked again at the pile of silver and the registration form.

His eyes were filled with emotion.

"I never expected that the schoolbags your aunt made would be so popular at the academy."

It's just that so many orders suddenly came in.

The factory is not yet completed.

Your aunt probably can't do that much in a short time.

It will take at least some time.

Li Xiuming said with a worried expression.

Li Mingxuan said with a smile.

"Father, you don't need to worry about that."

We have already spoken to them.

The materials for making these schoolbags are rare, and the workmanship is also intricate.

I'm afraid it won't be possible to make it in a short time.

The students said they liked the backpack and were willing to wait.

So I came home today to ask you and my aunt to tell them.

My aunt doesn't know about this yet.

Li Xiuming nodded slightly, his expression softening.

"Since the children all understand and are willing to wait..."

That's a good thing.

Alright, Xuan'er.

I'll go and talk to your aunt about this right away.

Stay home and behave yourself. Oh, and your mother wrote a letter.

They said they'd be back from your maternal grandfather's place in a few days.

Li Mingxuan's eyes lit up.

"Really, Father?"

"Mom's coming back! That's wonderful!"

Li Xiuming smiled.

Yes, your mother is back.

This gives us another source of strength.

Xuan'er, I'm going to your aunt's house now.

You should get some rest too; you have to get up early for the academy tomorrow.

Li Mingxuan nodded vigorously.

"I understand, Father."

Li Xiuming carefully put away the silver and the registration form.

He then hurriedly went to Linjia Village to find Lu Qingqing.

When they arrived at Lu Qingqing's house,

The sky was gradually darkening.

Lu Qingqing was busy in the yard.

Seeing Li Xiuming rush over, he looked surprised.

"Brother, what brings you here at this hour?"

"Has something happened at home?"

Li Xiuming quickly waved his hand.

"Everything's fine at home."

There's been a slight issue with the children.

As he spoke, he walked into the courtyard.

Li Mingxuan and his classmates' schoolbags were very popular at the academy.

The student recounted in detail how they all paid deposits to reserve their spots.

Finally, he handed the silver and registration form to Lu Qingqing.

Lu Qingqing took the silver and the registration form.

Using the faint light coming from inside the room,

Upon closer inspection, I was both surprised and delighted.

"Wow, so many children have paid deposits!"

It seems this backpack is really popular.

However, with so many orders,

Both the materials and the production process need to be carefully planned.

Li Xiuming frowned and said:

"That's exactly right."

I rushed here so late because I was in a hurry.

Although the children are willing to wait,

But after all, it will take some time just to make the oilcloth.

With so many schoolbags added in, making them is also a problem.

The factory isn't even finished yet, is it?

What should we do now?

Lu Qingqing gently patted Li Xiuming's arm.

He was told to calm down.

"Brother, don't worry."

Although the factory is not yet built,

However, we can do it at home first.

Don't worry about the tarpaulin.

There's still quite a bit of the tarpaulin left from the previous experiments.

And my dad has already started making the new oilcloth.

The purple ginseng has not yet sprouted.

Therefore, the tarpaulin in the greenhouse can wait a while.

Let's make a batch of schoolbags first.

Li Xiuming listened to Lu Qingqing's words,

His furrowed brows gradually relaxed.

"Qingqing, you really do have a way."

Now that you have a solution,

Then I won't worry about my brother anymore.

Lu Qingqing said with a smile,

"I had anticipated that the backpacks would sell better."

I just didn't expect that we hadn't even started promoting it yet...

The children had already collected all the deposits.

This was completely unexpected.

Moreover, the price they sell at

It's significantly higher than the price I had in mind.

Li Xiuming nodded slightly.

A slight smile appeared on his face.

"yes,

Mingxuan told me about this when he got home today.

I was also taken aback.

I never expected the children to be so clever and capable at such a young age.

That's really unexpected.

Lu Qingqing responded with a smile:

"This time, we also owe a lot to those clever little devils."

That's how this backpack issue got off to a good start.

But brother, this is just the beginning.

I believe raincoats will become even more popular in the future.

Li Xiuming was filled with anticipation, his eyes brimming with hope.

Yes, Qingqing.

I also think that whether it's a raincoat or a backpack,

They'll all become very popular, I'm just a little worried.

"You're too busy here."

Lu Qingqing gently shook her head.

He gave Li Xiuming a reassuring smile.

"Don't worry, brother, you don't need to worry about that."

I have my own plan.

Until it was confirmed again that Lu Qingqing could handle it,

Li Xiuming was relieved and left.

Lu Qingqing looked at the pile of things on the table again.

She gently picked up the list and looked at it.

Surprisingly, the most ordered item was the Peter Rabbit design by Sanmao.

It seems Peter Rabbit is very popular.

Just then, Lin Qingshan walked over happily.

"Qingqing,

Dad just moved all the oilcloths onto the shelf.

This time we can make more oilcloth.

Lu Qingqing looked at Lin Qingshan's happy expression.

I'm going to tell him this good news:

"Father, I have good news for you."

The schoolbags I made for Stone and the others

The children at their academy all loved it.

Just today,

They received a deposit of over one hundred taels of silver.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingshan's eyes widened instantly.

His face was full of surprise.

"What? The deposit for the schoolbag was over a hundred taels?"

My dear, this is such wonderful news!

These kids are really capable!

However, we received such a large deposit from them...

We need to hurry up and finish making the schoolbag.

To avoid any unforeseen complications or further unforeseen events.

Lu Qingqing nodded in deep agreement.

"Father, that's what I think too."

So, Dad, the task of making the oilcloth is now in your hands.

If that doesn't work, find a few more people to help.

That will be faster.

Lin Qingshan nodded firmly.

"Don't worry, Qingqing."

Making the oilcloth was left to Dad.

We have some oilcloth at home, you can use it for now.

This second batch has already had its third coat of oil applied.

It will be better in a couple of days.

Qingqing, you're the same.

If we can't handle it all, we'll ask a few more villagers to help.

Don't overwork yourself.

Lu Qingqing looked at Lin Qingshan, her eyes filled with emotion.

"Dad, you're so busy, yet you still think of me."

Don't worry, I will make the arrangements accordingly.

I promise I won't tire myself out.

Lin Qingshan nodded.

"Okay, as long as you understand."

Then Dad will go and brush some more oilcloth, trying to prepare more materials.

"Don't let the lack of materials cause delays again."

After Lin Qingshan finished speaking,

He then turned and walked toward the place where the oilcloth was made.
