Chapter 787 Goodbye Li Xiaowan
Chapter 787 Goodbye Li Xiaowan
Mrs. Li smiled and said, "Thanks to you, Xiaoli Village has become a prosperous place. Almost every household has money in their pockets and food in their granaries. Especially those families who went to work in Beijing with you. Almost every family has a brick house. The village chief and the villagers were worried that we two old men would freeze to death, so they called on all the men in the village to go up the mountain to chop firewood. That's why the firewood is piled so high in the yard."
Li Moer said, "This is where I was born and raised. I'm doing well now, so it wouldn't hurt to help them. I plan to develop Qipan Mountain in the spring of next year and turn it into a tourist attraction. This will generate income while also boosting the surrounding economy."
At this moment, the sound of a bicycle was heard outside the door. After a while, the cotton door curtain was lifted and a person came in. Li Moer looked over and found that the person was her cousin Li Xiaowan.
Li Xiaowan's entire head and eyebrows were covered with a layer of white frost, and she was shivering with cold. When she entered the house and saw Li Mo'er inside, Li Xiaowan was stunned, with a look of shame on her face. Then she came to Li Mo'er and said, "Mo'er is back. I heard from grandma that you are studying in Beijing. You are doing well, right? How are Grandma Xiaoyun and Xiaohu?" Li Mo'er nodded expressionlessly: "Not bad." In fact, Li Xiaowan didn't do anything to the three siblings at the time. At most, she just chatted with them. It was just that her uncle and aunt wanted to marry her off in exchange for a few hundred yuan in betrothal gifts. She had seen through her plan and framed Li Xiaowan and sent her to the bed of that old deputy factory director.
Thinking of this, Li Mo'er asked Li Xiaowan: "How are you doing now?" Li Xiaowan sighed: "I can be said to have suffered retribution. Ever since I married the old man and gave birth to a daughter for him, he started wanting to beat me, but he was old after all, so I beat him up every time. Now we live our own lives, and I raise my daughter by myself. This can be considered as retribution for me, Mo'er. It was my parents who did something wrong. They wanted to marry you off in exchange for a betrothal gift. I apologize to you on their behalf. I was young at the time and said some bad things to you. Don't take it to heart. Just treat it as my fart."
Taking off her cotton-padded jacket, Li Xiaowan continued, "He retired in the spring of last year, and he spent all his pension on drinking. I'm planning to divorce him now. I've opened a cosmetics store and I'm selling cosmetics while taking care of the kids.
Li Moer thought for a moment and asked, "Do you import your cosmetics or where do you get them?" Li Xiaowan said, "At first, I bought them from the south. Later, I met an old Chinese doctor. He's the old man's cousin, and his ancestors were imperial physicians. He gave me a prescription for skin care products made with Chinese herbs, and they're selling quite well."
Li Moer was surprised that he could make his own skincare products. She asked, "What Chinese herbs do you use in your skincare products?"
Li Xiaowan thought for a moment and said, "The main herbs are angelica, white angelica, white hyacinth, astragalus, etc. After boiling, add lard and roses, etc. It is a very good skin care product. However, due to the problems of herbs and labor, it cannot be mass-produced."
She looked at Li Moer's fair and rosy skin, as delicate as a peeled egg, and was full of envy: "What skin care products do you use? The effect is so good."
Li Moer said: "I don't use any skin care products, I just use my homemade nutrient solution to wash my face."
After thinking for a while, she said, "Have you ever thought about starting your own cosmetics company and developing a new cosmetics product?"
Li Xiaowan's eyes lit up. "Of course I've thought about it. Even if we open a factory, we need to buy land, build a factory, recruit people for research and development, which will cost a lot. I saved tens of thousands of yuan a few years ago when my old man was the deputy factory director. It's definitely not enough to open a factory."
Li Moer thought for a moment and said, "I can invest in building a factory. I'll provide the medicinal materials, and you'll be responsible for research and development and management of the company. However, I want to own 60% of the company's shares. What do you think?"
Li Xiaowan said happily without thinking: "Of course, do you have a way to get the medicinal herbs? This medicinal herb with low efficacy will definitely not work."
Li Moer nodded: "I can get the herbs, and the efficacy will definitely be good."
Just kidding. How could the medicinal herbs produced in this space be any worse? Li Moer had actually long planned to get involved in the cosmetics industry, but she had never had the right opportunity.
