The fierce peasant woman is busy farming

Seeing that they were about to quarrel, Zhou Yue quickly changed the subject.

“Dad, where is the water land you are talking about?

Is it far away?"

Sure enough, Mr. Ning was no longer sharp-tongued and told Zhou Yue where the land he wanted to buy was, what the soil quality was like, etc.

After talking about the land, he talked about the shops in the county.

At this point, the discussion is about whether the family can and dares to open a shop in the county and do business.

In the county, there was County Magistrate Wang and his new concubine, Miss Zhang, and there was Ning Yuancai and his mistress, Widow Wang.

There is also the unpredictable Ning Sangu.

Even though we have people in our family, including the two sons of the village chief and acquaintances in Zheng’s pharmacy, it is still difficult to compete with them.

Besides, the people on our side are not close relatives. Why would they offend the powerful and wealthy for you?

There is another important issue, which is that the Ning family does not have much capital left.

The money earned from selling fish and medicinal herbs, as well as the money brought by Lord Song.

It cost a lot for Chunniang to give birth to the child this time.

Qing Mo spent a large sum of money to buy a shop.

This also requires buying a piece of water land.

All of them must be spent.

Buying this land is the obsession of Mr. Ning and Yuan Mo.

They feel that only when they have land in their hands can they be at ease.

Moreover, water land is scarce in this village. It is a rare opportunity to find someone willing to sell it. I will definitely buy it.

In this way, I can open a shop in the county.

It costs a lot of money to pay the rent, decoration, and stock the goods in the early stage.

After discussing for a long time, there was no result.

I can't sell the things at home. Besides, there's nothing to sell except the house and the land.

After being here for more than half a year, Zhou Yue experienced the pain of being short of money for the first time.

She returned to her room with a sigh. Qing Mo and Yang Mo were studying under the lamp.

When he saw his mother come in, he hurriedly asked her the questions that they had accumulated over time.

Zhou Yue quickly put on a smile and cheered up to answer questions.

After asking, they went back to reading.

Qing Mo saw his mother sitting on the kang with her head down in a daze, and noticed that she was in a low mood.

He quickly stood up, walked to his mother's side, and asked:

"Mom, are you tired?"

“Uh, oh, no, I’m not tired.

I'm fine, go ahead and do your work."

"Mom, are you worried about something?

If you have any troubles, speak up.

Maybe we can help.

Is this what grandpa wanted to talk to you about?"

Yang Mo also came over and hugged Zhou Yue and acted coquettishly.

Zhou Yue felt warm in his heart and smiled:

“Haha, it’s okay, I just have something to do, and I’m glad to see you two are so considerate and thoughtful.

I'm fine now."

"Mom, just tell me.

I'm an adult now, so you'd better let me know if there's anything going on at home.

You also often say that we should not grow a delicate flower in a greenhouse.

Be like the orchid swaying in the wind and rain."

Qing Mo put his arm around Zhou Yue's shoulders and swayed back and forth.

"Haha, okay, okay, stop shaking. I'm dizzy."

Yang Mo put his face on Zhou Yue's hand and said with his eyes closed:

"Mom, my elder sister is right. I am just like my elder sister. We are both able to help you with things."

"Well, okay, let me tell you. There's a difficult situation at home."

Qing Mo and Yang Mo both sat up straight and listened to their mother with serious expressions.

"It's like this, my family has been spending a lot of money recently.

Now there is a ten-acre piece of irrigated land. Our family wants to buy it and the asking price is eighty taels.

There is another thing. The eldest son of the village chief's family inquired about the shops in the county and found several suitable ones.

If I go to the county to rent a shop to do business, it will probably be another expense.

I am worried about where to get the money.”

Then the number of people who were worried increased from one to three.

The three of them discussed for half the night but could not figure out a solution.

There is no shortage of income at home, but it’s all slow business.

I rent out a shop in the town and collect rent annually, but I will only receive next year's rent at the end of this year.

The business of selling fried fish cakes is almost over as the number of fish in the river is decreasing.

There is also the business of collecting medicinal herbs, but this business, like the fish business, is not very big.

It takes time for medicinal herbs in the mountains to grow. After this batch is dug up, it will probably take several years for them to grow again.

Even with the current crop of medicinal herbs, they will soon become unusable with the arrival of winter.

Mr. Ning works as a consultant in the wheelchair workshop and also has some shares.

But the local market is really small and the villagers are poor.

Wheelchairs are a niche product, and many families cannot afford them.

Therefore, sales are average.

Seeing that the wheelchair workshop was struggling to survive, Mr. Ning taught them the production process and then refused to charge consulting fees.

As for stock dividends, they are better than nothing.

Zhou Yue planned that if he opened a shop in the county, he would bring a few wheelchairs over and display them in the shop.

The county is always richer and has more people than the village.

I think there is a great demand for wheelchairs.

There is also the matter of Mr. Ning’s shuttle bus fare.

This business is about making hard-earned money.

Many people in the village would like to break every penny into two halves to spend.

I wouldn't spend money on taking a bus unless it was absolutely necessary.

Moreover, Mr. Ning only drives his car to the market, so he has not had much business this month.

Even in such a small business, there are now competitors.

There are already two old men in other villages who have started this business.

Zhou Yue gave Old Man Ning an idea and introduced discounts for purchasing multiple times, as well as monthly and even annual services.

The number of times is one free ride for every ten rides, and the amount can be accumulated for the whole family.

Just like in later generations, a monthly subscription means that you pay a certain amount of money each month, and your family can ride the bus for free an unlimited number of times.

The same is true for annual packages.

Although this measure is not very reasonable for poor rural areas.

But soon, Mr. Ning received more than one or two taels of silver.

He was very satisfied and solemnly handed the money to Zhou Yue.

Zhou Yue counted the money in the family and found that after buying the irrigated land, there were only more than thirty taels left.

I still have to find a way to make some quick money.

It would be best if you could pick up a treasure like ginseng.

Early the next morning, before most people got up, Qian was already shouting in the backyard.

Zhou Yue quickly put on his clothes, put on his slippers, and ran to the backyard to take a look.

It turned out that the rabbit had given birth.

But the weather has become cold, especially in the mornings in this mountain village, and everyone is wearing cotton clothes.

This rabbit might be a mother for the first time, and without any other old rabbits to teach her, she may not be very good at it.

Before it gave birth to rabbits, it plucked some of its own hair to make a nest.

But probably because it hurt, he gave up after pulling out only a few.

Zhou Yue didn't pay attention either. Although the children came to see rabbits every day, they had never raised one and didn't understand anything about it.

Therefore, when the little rabbits were born, they lay naked in the rabbit cage.

In order to facilitate the cleaning of rabbit excrement and the drying of the rabbit nest, the bottom of the rabbit cage is made of sparse wooden sticks.

This way, the urine will leak out after the rabbit urinates.

In a corner of the rabbit hutch, there is a small nest made of straw mat, which is a place for the rabbit to sleep.

But this mother rabbit gave birth to her baby rabbits in the hollow place.

The poor little rabbit fell through the gap in the wooden stick into the manure water below.

When Qian went to feed the rabbits in the morning, she saw that the mother rabbit had a flat stomach and looked for it.

Then I found five naked, pink little rabbits with their eyes closed.

When Qian took them out, the little rabbits were already frozen and their bodies were red.
