Reborn Ugly Girl Farming to Support the Family

Chapter 245: The End of Lady Plum

"Big sister, will your fish pond produce fish by the end of the year?"

Zheng Xiaoman thought of her eldest sister's fish pond. She would definitely give benefits to the workers in the workshop at the end of the year. If her eldest sister had fish at the end of the year, she could buy it directly from her eldest sister.

Zheng Xiaoyu shook her head. "The fish in the pond are too small this year. Your brother-in-law and I are thinking of waiting until next spring when the fish are bigger."

"I see. I was thinking of buying some fish from you at the end of the year."

"It's fine if you buy some for yourself. There are some big fish in the pond, so there are enough for you to eat at home."

"No, I want to give out gifts to everyone at the end of the year. Plus the food for my family, I need about fifty pieces."

Zheng Xiaoyu spread her hands, "That won't work. There aren't that many big fish in the pond right now."

Zheng Xiaoman smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll just buy something else."

As the two were talking, there was suddenly a noise outside.

"Woo woo, you bastard, that's your own daughter, if you don't seek justice for her, who else can seek justice for her?"

"You crazy woman, the person is dead, what's the point of saying this?"

Then there was the sound of things falling, mixed with women's screams and curses, and men's roars.

Zheng Xiaoman frowned, "Sister, whose house is this?"

Zheng Xiaoyu sighed, "Whose family could it be? Lamei's family. Ever since Lamei left, their family has been restless these past two days."

Zheng Xiaoman then remembered that his eldest sister's house and Lamei's house were only two households apart.

Speaking of wintersweet, Zheng Xiaoyu also felt very sorry, "You said that wintersweet is younger than me, who would have thought that it would be gone just like that.

Now that her daughter is dead, La Mei Niang regrets it. When she gave her daughter away as a concubine, why didn’t she think about what kind of life her daughter would live? "

Zheng Xiaoman was also quite sad, luckily her parents were open-minded people and would not sell her for money.

If she had parents like La Mei, she would rather jump into the river again than become someone's concubine.

The noise outside was getting louder and louder, and the two of them no longer had the heart to talk, so Zheng Xiaoman got up and went home.

When she came out of the Mao family's yard, she saw La Mei Niang with disheveled hair, sitting at the gate and crying like a madman.

Did Zheng Xiaoman sympathize with her? Not at all.

La Mei had clearly said at the beginning that she liked Yang Shuhuai. Even if she couldn't marry her to the Yang family, she could at least find a good family for her to marry into.

But her mother was vain and insisted on finding a rich man for her daughter.

Now, my daughter is gone.

Zheng Xiaoman withdrew his gaze from her and stopped looking at her. It was just her own fault.

I just thought that even if La Mei Niang made a fuss about this matter, nothing would come of it.

What no one expected was that La Mei's mother actually went to the town alone, took a pair of scissors, and stabbed the man La Mei married to death.

When the officers came to the village to arrest people, the news shocked everyone.

No one expected that Lamei Niang, who was usually nagging and snobbish, could do so much for her daughter.

Zheng Xiaoman suddenly felt very sad. If he had known this would happen, he would not have done it in the first place.

However, the officers searched the area around but could not catch La Mei Niang. They only found one of her shoes by the river.

No one has seen La Mei Niang since then, and no one knows whether she really jumped into the river and died.

La Mei's father was beaten up by the family of the deceased, and the one hundred taels of silver that were originally given to him were also taken back.

If the village chief hadn’t brought his men over, Lamei’s father would have probably been beaten to death by that family.

Even so, he later had one of his legs broken and walked with a limp.

Now the money is gone, and my wife and daughter are gone too.

I don’t know if he regrets it at this moment, no one knows.

Two years later

A beautiful girl in a goose yellow dress got down from the carriage, and a yellow dog ran out from somewhere and circled around the girl.

"Wang Wang Wang"

The local dog barked at the woman excitedly, and its tail was shaking like a fire wheel.

The girl touched the big yellow dog's head, and the girl and the dog walked towards the door of a big house.

At this time, a little girl of seven or eight years old inside the door heard the dog barking and ran out laughing.

"Sister, you are finally back."

The little girl came out and rushed towards the girl.

"Hey, Chunya, please be gentle, I can't hold you anymore."

Zheng Xiaoman bent down slightly and picked up the little sister, which made Chun Ya giggle.

"Sister, why did you go to the capital for so many days this time? I missed you so much."

Zheng Xiaoman put her down, took her hand and walked to the yard, "I have some things to deal with in the shop. I will be back as soon as I finish it."

"Then sister, next time you go out, can you take me with you? It's boring for me to be alone at home."

"Okay, next time I go out, I'll take you with me."

Chun Ya jumped up and down with joy, "Sister, you are the best."

Zheng Xiaoman smiled, and her bright face became even more beautiful and charming.

She is fourteen years old this year and has grown to over 1.6 meters tall.

Although her face still looks a little immature, she has grown into an extremely beautiful person.

Since last year, people have been coming to her family to propose marriage to her, but Zhou Chunfeng dismissed them all on the grounds that she wanted to keep her daughter for a few more years.

In the past two years, Zheng Xiaoman's business has grown bigger and bigger. His previous sausage workshop has grown from more than 20 people at the beginning to more than 50 people.

Last year she built a vermicelli workshop, and now there are forty or fifty people working there.

It can be said that almost every family in Wangjia Village has someone working in her workshop.

The workshop wages have also increased from 200 coins per month at the beginning to 500 coins now.

Compared to working in the city, it is obviously more cost-effective to work at home.

In addition, Zheng Xiaoman's workshop provides two meals a day, at noon and in the evening, and they also receive gifts during the New Year and other festivals.

Everyone's life has been getting better and better in the past two years. First of all, the Zheng family distributed sweet potato seeds to everyone. In the second year, the whole village was shocked by the yield of 2,000 kilograms per mu and was speechless for a long time.

With these sweet potatoes, they no longer have to worry about going hungry.

Not only that, they kept some sweet potatoes for themselves, and Zheng Xiaoman bought all the extra ones.

Last year, every family earned dozens of taels of silver by selling sweet potatoes.

Not to mention that they could earn money in the workshop. The days in Wangjia Village were definitely different from what they used to be. It was one of the best among the nearby villages.

There are many girls from other villages who want to marry into Wangjia Village, but they want to marry here not only because the people of Wangjia Village live a good life.

Moreover, the wives here can earn money on their own, which makes them feel that they can hold their heads high at home.

However, the families that have seen the biggest changes in the past two years are those related to the Zheng family.

Cao Jun sold the sweet potatoes from the year before last at a price of 500 wen per pound.

He takes 40% of the 1500 wen, so there are still 300 wen left for each pound of sweet potatoes.

Even Zheng Xiaoyu's family, who planted the least amount of sweet potatoes, sold their four acres of land for more than two thousand taels of silver.

For example, Zheng Xiaoman's grandmother planted more than ten acres of sweet potatoes and earned five or six thousand taels from this alone.

There is also Zheng Chunhua's family and Yang Changqing's family, each of them earned a lot of money.

If they hadn't kept this matter a secret, they would probably be the target of public criticism now.

Of course, the biggest contributor is Zheng Xiaoman's family, who planted more than 500 acres of sweet potatoes.

No one knows how much money their family has now, but we only know that the money they earn is definitely not less than those wealthy families in the town.
