Farming: I dressed up as a widow and beat my parents-in-law violently
Chapter 39 Side Job
The Zhao family had deliberately released the news.
They originally wanted the Zhou family and the Yan family to compete with each other.
It is best to increase the betrothal gift to 10 taels of silver.
Who would have thought that after Matchmaker Xu brought the news back, the Yan family never came again. I thought they had no money, but they were so generous in marrying an orphan girl, so it didn't look like they had no money.
Zhao Zheng became angry when he mentioned this.
Fortunately, Zhou's son-in-law said that if Yue Fang married him, he would immediately arrange for his brother-in-law to replace the original accounting room in the shop.
She felt better.
Mother and daughter talked in the room all morning, and I don't know how Zhao Zheng persuaded her. Zhao Yuefang finally nodded.
But she still hated Jin Fu in her heart.
She blamed him for letting her down for that little money and causing her to marry someone like Zhou Yiliu.
If Yan Xia knew about this, she would be questioned.
Unfortunately, Yan Xia didn't know it. Her daughter-in-law had been married for only half a month. During this time, she was wondering how to find a side job.
Although there are banks here, depositing money there not only has no interest but also "management fees", which is simply outrageous.
But we can’t sit back and rest in vain.
At first she thought of using the more than one hundred taels of silver to buy land. First-class fertile land in Baihua Village cost five taels of silver per acre. She could buy at least 30 acres of land and save the rest.
But there are only two strong laborers in the family, and she can't let her daughter do farm work every day. She can't bear to do it.
The two daughters are beautiful, well-behaved and obedient. Why should they tan like Li Kui?
Daughter-in-law is no good either. I promised her when I married her that I would treat her well. Besides, Xiao He could make some money by embroidering handkerchiefs at home. Gui Hua followed her and learned the craft. Xiao He was not happy at all. He happily taught Gui Hua everything.
Not to mention herself, Jinfu Jinlu would not let her work in the fields at all.
Then who will farm these thirty acres of land? The two sons can't finish planting even if they smoke with their hoes.
Before my grandson was born, my son died of exhaustion.
Hunting is even worse. Always going to the mountains will give the villagers the illusion that they can pick up wild boars and grizzly bears once they enter the mountains.
There were people walking under the mountains a few days ago, hoping to be as lucky as her.
Get rich overnight.
But it is really dangerous in the mountains. She has encountered jackals herself. Fortunately, she hid in the space, otherwise she would not be able to defeat the wolves.
Not everyone has the same magical powers as she does.
For the sake of the lives of the villagers, she decided to reduce the number of trips to the mountains.
So this way to make a fortune doesn’t work either.
"Mom, I'm going to town today to sell handkerchiefs. Do you want to go?"
Just as she was thinking about how to find the next way to make a fortune, Shi Xiaohe interrupted her thoughts.
"Go ahead, Mom, go to the town to see if there's anything you can do to make a living. Your husband and your brother-in-law have taken care of the work in the fields, and Mom is feeling restless at home."
"Okay, mother, I'll go change some clothes."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who looked like mother and daughter, walked hand in hand to the entrance of the village.
I got on Zhao Dali’s bullock cart.
Heading towards Shuangqiao Town together.
Arriving in the town and crossing the long bridge, Xiao He led her to the door of a shop.
The items sold inside are all small trinkets, such as purses, handkerchiefs, embroidered shoes, etc.
"Mom, I made a lot of money this time. I'll give it all to my mother——"
Xiao He put the money into Yan Xia's hand with a big smile on her face.
"Oh, Mommy's Xiaohe is really sensible. Let's go, Mommy invites you to eat wontons. Just us, mother and daughter, will eat them. We won't bring them to them."
Yan Xia was very pleased to see Xiao He being so polite.
She took Xiaohe to the wonton stall, and each of them ate a bowl of fresh meat wontons, plus two meat buns.
The wontons are filled with a base soup made from sesame oil and mushrooms made by the stall owner, which is even fresher than chicken soup.
The portions were generous, and the two of them left with full stomachs after finishing the meal.
Walking around and shopping, the two of them were talking and laughing like best friends.
Suddenly, Yan Xia stopped outside a shop.
It's a cake seller.
Yan Xia narrowed her eyes when she saw a familiar face in the shop.
It's Mrs. Zhao Zheng and her son.
I met him at the Zhao family before. I heard that this boy is the only son of the Zhao Zheng family. He is very used to it. He is already sixteen years old and hangs out with the boys in the village every day.
This is what Aunt Xu told her.
Ever since she suffered that loss, Aunt Xu has been eyeing the Zhao family and loves to come to her house to chat whenever there is any trouble.
Of course, Yan Xia also likes to listen.
Who doesn’t love eating melon?
Therefore, apart from Aunt Xu, she is probably the one who knows the Zhao family's affairs best.
"Then it's settled. First-class, take good care of my big head. He's still young and there are a lot of things he doesn't understand. You should tell him carefully. Do you understand?"
"Mother-in-law, don't worry. As long as I'm here, no one in this shop will dare to bully him."
The two people's voices were a bit loud. After Zhao Zheng finished speaking, she walked out of the shop.
Yan Xia quickly took her daughter-in-law and hid in the alley.
That's why it wasn't seen.
"Mom? What's wrong?"
Shi Xiaohe looked at her puzzled.
"It's okay. I saw an enemy. Let's go and follow my mother to the shop opposite."
Yan Xia took her daughter-in-law to the opposite side of the pastry shop.
It turned out that when she was hiding in the alley, she accidentally saw the transfer paper posted on the door of the shop.
"Shopkeeper, are you renting or selling this shop?"
Entering the shop, Yan Xia asked loudly.
This shop is very, very small, ridiculously small, a bit like a modern so-and-so chicken steak shop, and it likes to be opened in the corner of the corner.
It's only five or six square meters at most.
There were two tables in the shop. On the tables were some jewelry, which looked a bit cheap.
"It's for sale, not for rent. I'm going to the capital to find my son and enjoy my life."
The shopkeeper looked to be in his fifties, and his face was covered with wrinkles and age spots, but he looked kind-hearted.
"How much silver?"
Yan Xia thought, since this shop is so big, it shouldn't be much more expensive.
It's better to put them on the plate and sell food and other things.
"One hundred and fifty taels! No counteroffer!"
"What's the matter?"
Yan Xia was dumbfounded.
Is this place with a big booger so expensive?
The house her family built was only a dozen taels.
Although the houses in the town are expensive, this is too outrageous, right? Five or six square meters, thirty taels of silver per square meter?
Damn it, it’s not like every inch of land in the capital is precious.
"Haha, I like to see you scared. This shop of mine is unique. You will know when you come in with me and take a look."
The shopkeeper waved to Yan Xia.
He lifted the curtain behind him.
Went in.
Yan Xia followed.
I saw that there was a backyard behind the shop. It was small and exquisite. There was a stone table in the yard. Next to the stone table was a persimmon tree, which just blocked the sun and didn't bask at all.
"There is a utility room in the backyard. You can also use half of it for sleeping. There is also a hut. As for cooking, there is a small shed behind the persimmon tree. I built a stove there. Then just cook. Even though my shop is small, it has everything you need. It can be used as a place for people to stay."
