Chapter 23
What a waste of money.

Rosie went out and took two steps. She felt that she couldn’t come to get it by herself. After all, she wanted a lot. It’s better to let those who are willing to sell it and bring it home. Rosie will pay the money and receive the goods without running back and forth.After thinking about it, Rosie went back home and went to Er Gouzi's sister-in-law's room, "Sister-in-law, I need your help with something, do you think you are free now?"

When she walked in, she saw that her sister-in-law still had the money she had just given to her on the bed. She was touching it over and over again happily. The corners of Rosie's eyes twitched. She really loved the money so much that she was obsessed with it.

"What's the matter, just say it." Seeing Rosie coming in, the sister-in-law looked at the money on the bed, and quickly put it away, fearing that the speed of collecting it would be slow, and Rosie would change her mind and not give it away.

Rosie didn't know what kind of expression to make for a moment.

Smiling, Rosie pretended not to see what the sister-in-law was thinking, "Oh, it's like this, don't people in our village have a lot of radishes in the vegetable fields in autumn? I'm going to collect some radishes, and you go to the whole village to say hello to each other, and you are willing to sell them. Yes, let them take the things to our yard, hand over the copper coins and deliver the goods. Do you think it will work?"

"Why do you collect that thing? There are too many to eat. Most people either dry the vegetables or feed them to pigs. If you want them for nothing, someone will give them to you. Is it still worth the money?" Rosie spoke.

"You must give the copper coins. You can't just ask for that little thing to take advantage of others. When the time comes, you will owe others favors and troubles will continue." Rosie looked at the sister-in-law seriously.

"What's the trouble? Isn't it just the carrots that are fed to the pigs? It's not like we have to pay for the copper coins. Our family has money and we can't waste it like this." The sister-in-law disagreed.

"I harvested the radishes to make vegetables and sell them in the town. When the villagers know about it, think about the consequences. Do you dare to ask for things from others? A catty of radishes costs a penny per catty. If you want fresh ones, go ahead." .” After finishing speaking, Rosie was about to leave.

Talking about silver with this ancient woman Grandet in the diamond plate is not the usual tiring.

"What? One penny! People usually only sell one penny for ten catties. This thing is cheap, why are we taking advantage of it?" The sister-in-law shouted in disbelief.

"What article?" Grandma heard it too, and asked curiously.

Like firing a machine gun, the sister-in-law told the mother-in-law the conversation between the two just like pouring beans, and glanced at Rosie reproachfully from time to time.

"What did I do wrong? Isn't it just that I don't know the price of radishes? Is it too high? As for looking at me like this?" Rosie wailed depressedly...

"It is true that we should give copper plates, but the price is indeed a bit high. Let's accept it at the price of ten catties and two cents. What do you think, Yun'er?" the mother-in-law suggested.

"I have no objection!" Rosie responded with a smile.

In this way, the sister-in-law went out unhappy.

The people in the village really had a lot of radishes, and in the evening, there was a lot of radishes piled up in the wishing box. Rosie looked at it and thought that the amount was almost enough, so she asked her sister-in-law to go out of the village and shouted that she didn't want the radishes anymore.

After breakfast early the next morning, Rosie got into the bullock cart and went to the town. She went to the porcelain shop where she had ordered large wine vats and jars, ordered ten large vats and more than 100 small jars, and paid a deposit.Then I went to the vinegar shop and bought ten jars of rice vinegar. The store said it could be delivered to the door, so Rosie left a deposit and address, and then went to the non-staple food store to buy 20 catties of white sugar, took it to the intersection, and sat on Uncle Qin Waiting for the ox cart to go home.

After returning home, Rosie put down her things. It was just time for lunch. After lunch, Rosie went to look at her vegetable patch and found that there were not many peppers, so she bought some in the village at the price of two cents per pound. More than 200 kilograms of red ripe peppers were called to the sister-in-law and mother-in-law. The three of them washed and cut the peppers into shreds, then placed them on a large straw mat in the yard to dry. Then they washed the radishes and cut them into strips, and also put them in the yard to dry.When I was busy, rice vinegar and large jars were delivered to my home one after another, and I was busy scrubbing the large jar clean, wiping the inside with a dry cloth, and then mixing the sliced ​​peppers and radish strips evenly in the large basin, and then put them in He put half a jar of rice vinegar, a pound of white sugar, and some cold boiled water into a large vat and stirred them evenly. Then he filled the vat, sealed it, and started loading another vat. It took a week of busy work before it was completed.

Time passed quickly, and it was winter in the blink of an eye, and the snowflakes like goose feathers were floating all over the ground outside, and the whole world was covered with a layer of silver-white coat. Under the warm winter sun, it shone with a glare , bright and dazzling, the family in the room is eating a hearty breakfast around the stove, listening to the whirring of the northwest wind, "I didn't dare to think of such a day before. Since Yun'er entered the door, our family's life has become more and more difficult." Well, apart from the village head's house, our family is living the best life in the village. Without Yun'er, we would not have the comfortable and comfortable life we ​​have now. Er Gouzi, no matter how hardworking, thrifty and rich you are in the future, no matter how high your achievements are You have to treat Yun'er well, treat her well, you know? No matter what time you are a human being, you can't be ungrateful, it's wrong to do something wrong with your conscience~" Er Gouzi's father suddenly looked at Er Gouzi seriously and said.

My own son, I know it in my heart.In the early years, I have always liked the daughter of the Wu family in the village. I regretted how bad luck made people, especially when the daughter of the county magistrate entered the house and misbehaved, which caused complaints from the villagers. I also thought that the two children might not be able to leave. long.After all, from the appearance, my daughter-in-law is fat and ugly. Compared with the pretty and graceful daughter of the Wu family, there is indeed a gap. Men, which one is not lecherous, people like beautiful things, I am really afraid of my son's thoughts Still outside, I don't know how to cherish such a capable and sensible daughter-in-law in front of me.The old man felt that it was necessary for him to mention a few words about his son.

"Yun'er is indeed better than any other woman in our village. My uncle is lucky to meet such a nice person." Ergouzi's sister-in-law rarely spoke kind words for Rosie. Rosie looked up at her unexpectedly, and the other party replied a smile.

Rosie was shocked: This person who usually doesn't give you a good face suddenly smiled at you and said good things about you. I asked you if it was unexpected or not, or was it scary?

"In this life, I have only recognized Yun'er as my daughter-in-law. Today, in front of the whole family, since your father mentioned this matter, I will put the words here in advance." Er Gouzi's old lady also looked at it seriously Then Er Gouzi opened his mouth.

"Yes, yes, our family only values ​​younger siblings in our hearts, Er Gouzi, you have to cherish it. Don't be ignorant of blessings!" Er Gouzi also expressed his position. My younger brother used to like Wu's sister and he knew it , I agreed with it before, but now that Yun'er is my sister-in-law, I have to protect my family.

Er Gouzi looked at the whole family and suddenly stared at him seriously, waiting for his affirmation, especially Rosie looked at him expectantly, Er Gouzi felt a lot of pressure, would he dare to say something against him?It is estimated that at that time, my family would rather kick myself out of the house than stand by my daughter-in-law.Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and it is the same in my small family. Don't say that I have no opinion, even if I have an opinion, I will hold it back.Because the objection is invalid!
"Now that I've come to this point today, I just took this opportunity to make a statement: Don't worry, the only wife I will spend my life with is Yun'er."
