Leisurely Farmer's Family: A Strong Man and His Broken Leg Son-in-law

Liu Meixiang's money is not tight, and this is no secret.

Since she now has a way to make money, it is very good. The family also wants to build a house for Liushan, and all the gifts for betrothals are money.

To be honest, my family doesn't have much spare time to help this niece who has just returned home.

Now that she can take care of her own affairs and not cause trouble for her family to borrow money, she is very grateful to Amitabha.

As for the manpower paid, in Qi Chunhua's eyes, it was just a matter of helping others, and it was nothing compared to the tangible money.

Liu Shan was very excited when he heard that several people were going to Dongyue Temple to set up stalls again, but he couldn't get away, so he gave up.

However, I still asked them carefully what food they planned to sell and what the price would be.

Liu Yu told him the results of the previous two days' discussion, and Liu Shan nodded frequently after listening.

After thinking about it, he added: "How about you also sell sesame cakes, and Dongyue Temple also sings Daxi during the festival. In previous years, two operas were invited to sing in the open space at the foot of the mountain. Or stop selling biscuits. There are not many children at the festival. We also sell dumplings and noodles, buy some rice grains, make some rice dumplings, and sell tea and other things."

Liu Shan has been going to temple fairs every year since he was nine years old, and he has also paid attention to the prosperous food business.

This would sound quite logical.

Dongyue Temple enshrines ghosts and gods. After the death of people from all over the country, their souls are led to the Dongyue Temple.

Therefore, children under the age of nine are basically not taken to Dongyue Temple. Children have clean eyes and light souls. They are afraid of seeing something unclean or being frightened.

The shortbread is sweet, and most of the customers are children. These children don't go there much, so it's better to sell something else.

Liu Yu also accompanied Liu Fusheng to Dongyue Temple. After carefully thinking about the scenes he had seen in previous years, it was indeed as Liu Shan said, there were many adults but few children.

There are still two days left, so it will be convenient to start preparations for setting up the stall again.

"You should go earlier so you can grab a good spot!"

Liu Shan thought about it carefully and told Liu Yu and others what he saw with his own eyes.

After dinner, an oil lamp in the main room was as dim as a bean, and Liu Yu, Liu Meixiangnian and others were discussing what kind of food they would sell the day after the wedding!

A few people discussed it and finally decided to sell dumplings, meat and vegetarian noodles, and set up a stall to sell float tea.

Fortunately, these three things to eat are relatively simple. After rehearsing them in my mind, I felt that they were quite busy, so I settled on them.

Because I had to go to town early on the second morning to buy glutinous rice for making zongzi, make rice glutinous rice, collect zongzi leaves, prepare the fillings for dumplings in advance, and prepare all the flour.

The raincloth used to build the shed had to be washed in advance. We didn’t have enough tables and stools at home, so we had to borrow some extra ones.

Many of these things had to be settled before March 3rd. After discussing everything, I went back to my room and went to bed early.

........................

There are only a few ways for people in the village to make money, and they all live diligently, even using oil lamps frugally.

It was the same day as usual. Shui Sanmei was cursing at home and her husband lit the lamp and threw away the money.

But instead of just scolding him and going to bed as usual, he walked out of his house and knocked on the door of the house next door.

"who is it!"

"It's me, Chang Xi's mother, Brother Xian's mother, if you're not asleep, I'll come to you for something!"

After a while of silence, just when Shui Sanmei was impatient to wait, the door creaked open from the inside.

"It's so late. We can't talk about anything tomorrow. It just so happens that my family has to go to the patriarch's house to discuss something, otherwise you wouldn't be in vain!"

Ren's face was hidden in the darkness and could not be seen clearly. He only heard words, which were affectionate and polite.

Shui Sanmei was overjoyed when she heard that He Dayong was not at home. It was so good and she didn't have to make excuses to send him away!

When I heard the word clan leader, I felt a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, it was dark and no one saw me.

Mrs. Ren led her straight to the east room. After the two sat down, Ms. Ren asked Shui Sanmei again about the reason for her visit.

"Hey, it's not just my family's longevity. I have never been able to make a living in my life. Giving birth to such a debt collector, no, I actually owe a large sum of money to the gambling house. Even if I sell it, it won't be enough! ... "

After saying that, the person covered his face and started to cry.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Ren felt bad luck. She suppressed her anger and persuaded: "Children are debts. As mothers, we have to work hard all our lives. We have no choice but to hope that they will grow up, get married and have children." Finally, just know something!"

Shui Sanmei felt angry when she saw that Ren didn't ask how much money she owed Changshou and only talked about other things.

"Hey, my family is very poor now. I don't have the money to marry him. Even with this debt, I don't know what to do!"

Shui Sanmei wiped her eyes and looked sad.

"How did the money that Changshou owed to the gambling house be paid off years ago? How about this time? If I don't worry about you, your family still has a ready-made money tree! Show off your beauty to rich families. Once you get hired, you still worry about not being able to get the betrothal gift in exchange!"

Mrs. Ren was really fed up and didn't want to talk around with this damn bitch, so she simply said directly!

Although Shui Sanmei herself wanted to marry Xiuxiu to a good family in exchange for a betrothal gift to meet her immediate needs, she would not allow others to talk about Xiuxiu.

At that moment, he sneered and said: "My Xiuxiusheng's stupidity is not as good as your Xian brother's good fortune. The family of the first betrothed is well-off. Although there are some twists and turns later, Liu Shan is also down-to-earth and willing to work. At a glance I just know that life will be good in the future!”

When Mrs. Ren heard her praising her young brother, she didn't feel happy at all, so she secretly kept her guard up.

"It's not easy for Brother Xian to end up where he is now. If Liu Maoye and his wife knew that he was kidnapped, do you think they would dislike Brother Xian and feel that he is not innocent... I'm afraid Brother Xian has not yet Let me tell you, who kidnapped him that day..."

"That's enough!" Mrs. Ren shouted sharply. Seeing the proud look on Shui Sanmei's face, she pinched the palm of her hand hard.

Qiang smiled to himself and said: "Brother Xian was kidnapped by my nephew and took him to Niutoushan. Fortunately, the Liushan brothers rescued him. Fortunately, nothing happened. I didn't expect that we would have the fate we have today."

Thinking about the next plan, although Mrs. Ren wanted to tear this girl to pieces, now was not the time to do so, so she had to restrain herself.

As he spoke, he smiled, patted Shui Sanmei's hand, and said with concern: "Look at me, Brother Xian, what are you doing? Fortunately, you don't care, otherwise you will turn to me and show off to you, what are you worried about?" , tell me, and I can do the calculations for you!"

Shui Sanmei felt a little relieved when she saw that she didn't have to quarrel with Ren.

He also made a face of embarrassment and said: "I don't know how to say this. Changshou owes the gambling house forty taels of silver, and my family really can't afford it. I'm thinking that your brother Xian will get engaged in two days, so I can see if I can use it temporarily." Here’s Brother Xian’s betrothal gift and dowry!”

Seeing the hesitation on Mrs. Ren's face, Shui Sanmei hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I will definitely pay back the money when the wheat is harvested. Just like you said, if Xiuxiu is born well, she will marry into a wealthy family. Those betrothal gifts are enough!"
