Besides Mrs. Zhang, she told Sang Li about it after returning home, and the two first scolded Yu Shi and Sang Feng for a while.He also pondered how Yu Shi made his fortune and how much money he made.Especially Mrs. Zhang was so angry that she cheated Sang Feng away for nothing and lost ten taels of silver. Every time she thinks about this, it hurts like cutting her flesh.

"In a few days, go to Hekou Village to find out." Sang Li remembered what happened the year before last, and his liver was still throbbing with anger. Now the other party has actually gotten rich. The villain of others has made a fortune!

A few days later, when Mrs. Zhang arrived in Hekou Village, she did not go into the village to ask, but only asked at the entrance of the village who the matchmaker was.Mrs. Zhang is indeed not stupid. If you ask who in a village knows the situation of the villagers best, you don't need to go to others, it is most convenient to ask the matchmaker.

On weekdays, people from other villages often come here to find a matchmaker to inquire about the unmarried young people in the village, so the Zhang family did not arouse suspicion.Although Mrs. Zhang said that she had visited the village the year before last, her face had turned round more than once in the past two years. If she wasn't an acquaintance, she really wouldn't be able to recognize her.The villagers took her to the village matchmaker Wang.

Mrs. Zhang first asked several girls and Shuang who were waiting to be married in the village. After talking for a while, she said that she had heard outside that there was a widowed Shuang in the village.

As soon as she said this, Matchmaker Wang sighed.As a matchmaker, the more times you say it, the more people will come to you to protect the matchmaker.But this metaphor really made Wang Matchmaker shut down several times.She looked for it last year, but the other party only said that he was going to marry a wife, and couldn't even say a word that Wang Matchmaker choked.

This year, Yu Shi is even worse. She has made money selling medicine, raising sheep, and growing vegetables. I don’t know how many bachelors dragged her to talk about this matchmaker, and even a few young people from poor families also opened mouth.According to Matchmaker Wang, with so many people, you should choose one at least, and look down on those old bachelors, as well as young people who are younger, but in the end they were all rejected.

"Why, is this little brother too picky? Isn't he a widow with a child..." Mrs. Zhang pretended to be puzzled.

"Sister-in-law, you don't know. Although this little brother is a widow, he is only eighteen or nineteen years old. He is really capable. He has made a lot of money in the past two years! Last winter, Someone from Guangshantang came to buy his medicine, and it is said that the deposit was 20 taels. But from what he said, it would take a lot of money, but no matter how much you spend, you must earn money, at least you have to pay for it. There is a few taels of silver. In the early spring of this year, he planted vegetables on an acre of land. I thought he was confused. Who knew that someone came to collect his vegetables a few days ago, and gave a lot of copper for a few baskets of vegetables. The man also said that he would continue to accept the price at this price. In my opinion, this little brother from the Yu family can earn at least three or four taels of silver for this acre of land." Wang Matchmaker's analysis made Mrs. Zhang feel itchy.

Based on this calculation, this person earns quite a lot in one year, and this is still only one year. If he worked hard for a few more years, wouldn't it be more money.

"Could it be that this little brother from the Yu family really doesn't intend to marry? With such good conditions, and at such a young age, he doesn't mean he already has a relationship." Zhang asked intentionally.

When Matchmaker Wang heard this, she immediately felt that it made sense, but after thinking about it, Yu Shi stayed at home except for working in the fields on weekdays.He didn't have any relationship with any man, nor did he tease or get close to any young man.There are two young ones at home, and if they want to steal someone, it is probably not easy to steal. "He said that he wants to marry a wife, so he refuses to marry." After speaking, Matchmaker Wang sighed, saying that it is easy to get married under such conditions, but it is difficult to marry a daughter-in-law.The body of the twins who have given birth is not as good as that of a man, and most people still don't want their daughters or doubles to marry him.

Matchmaker Wang talked for a long time, but Mrs. Zhang didn't say whether she wanted to find someone to propose marriage, and finally gave Matchmaker Wang three copper coins, which was regarded as tea money for bothering her for so long.Matchmaker Wang held the three copper coins in her hand, feeling a little disappointed, she thought she could get a deal, but who knows that the other party is like everyone else, and she fell in love with Yushi, really, alas!

At this time, Mrs. Zhang already had some calculations in her heart, as long as she thought about her future prospects, she couldn't even close her mouth with joy, and she didn't feel tired even after walking for dozens of miles.

"Father, let me tell you." Mrs. Zhang pulled Sang Li as soon as she entered the house, and didn't even care about her fat son crying for hunger. "In a few days, you'll go to Hekou Village, talk softly to that boy Sang Feng, and then give him something. Well, let's bring him some candy." Mrs. Zhang said, looking for the bag from the cabinet The candies left over from the Chinese New Year, when I picked them up, the bag of candies was almost as light as paper, Zhang's face turned dark, "Sanghe, you bastard, you stole it again." The little fat boy made a face , ran out.

Mrs. Zhang cursed for a while, shook the paper bag away, and there were only two pieces of candy left. She had no choice but to find some eggs and boil them, and explained her plan to Sang Li in detail.

The next day, Sang Li went to Hekou Village, found Sang Feng, and wept bitterly when they met, saying that it was Zhang who forced him to do this, and that he was sorry for him and his brother and sister-in-law. He took out the boiled eggs and a few copper coins that Mrs. Zhang had prepared, and said they had hidden them secretly.

If you want to say who is the person Sang Feng hates the most in this world, his uncle and aunt definitely rank first.It's nothing more than occupying the house and shop left by his parents, but he still has to sell him.This person said to give him something, so does he owe such a little thing?Sang Feng sneered and threw the money and eggs given by Sang Li aside in front of his face, and drove the sheep back, ignoring Sang Li's blue, white, red and purple face.

After returning home, Duan Jie saw that Sang Feng's face was ugly, and he asked more questions. The child was reluctant to tell at first, but later Duan Jie asked more closely, and then he talked about today's incident with red eyes.Duan Jie was delighted when he heard it, and told Sang Feng, "Next time your uncle comes, don't let him bring eggs or copper coins, but let him return your shop to you, and see what he says."

Sang Feng nodded, and went to tidy up the sheep pen. The other three sheep in the family were about to give birth, so he had to take good care of them.When Sang Feng came back from work, Duan Jie dragged him into the house.

"Ah Feng, let me tell you something. A few days ago, I discussed with some old people in our village, and I planned to invite a scholar to come to the village to teach the dolls how to read. I want to send you off Go to the school in the village to study."

Duan Jie's plan didn't last for a day or two. If he made money, someone must be jealous.If there are a few strong laborers in his family, then there is nothing to be afraid of. The problem is that he is the only one in his family now, and Sang Feng is a kid, so he can't do anything.Many people are busy building bridges and paving roads after making money. It cannot be said that they do not have this consideration.You have made money, and you can do something practical for everyone, so that you can comfort people's hearts.

He doesn't have the financial resources to build bridges and pave roads now, but he can still contribute some money to help build a school in the village.It's also a great way to win popularity.In other words, Duan Jie often asks the villagers to help him on weekdays, and it is normal to give some money this time, not to mention there are Tuantuan and Sang Feng, these two little ones, they will always have to learn to read and read in the future, so they should be sent to the village as soon as possible. The school is built, and it is also beneficial to my family.

Duan Jie planned to spend two taels of silver this time to invite a scholar, and the rest of the money should be pooled by other people in the village, which should be almost enough.As for the house, there happened to be an abandoned one at the east end of the village. When I went back to the village, I found someone to fix it and it would be usable.

Can go to school to read and write!Sang Feng was agitated at first, then hesitated, he went to school to learn how to read, who will do the housework?These sheep and this calf are all under his care.Duan Jie saw his worries, so he comforted him: "Don't worry, the school in the village is open for half a day. You go in the morning and return after noon. There is nothing to delay. There is not much work at home now, so you don't have to worry about it. In addition, I want to tell you that we will not live in the village for a long time, just for Tuantuan, and I will move to the town in the future. At that time, I may open a shop in the town, and you will learn to read. It's time to be the shopkeeper for me."

Sang Feng blushed and nodded, learning to read and being able to follow Brother Yu in the future, these two things dissipated all the haze in the child's heart.

The school in the village was built very quickly, and almost every household contributed their labor. With the help of so many people, the construction was completed within a few days.Lizheng also found a scholar, with a few taels of silver a year, and all the food and lodging were in the village, and the villagers were in charge.

This was considered a major event in Hekou Village. On the day the school was repaired, the village even set off a few firecrackers to make it lively.After people from other nearby villages knew about it, they envied them for the time being, and many families discussed sending their own children here as well.

Because Yushi paid a lot of money for the school this time, many people in the village now want to praise Yushi when they mention Yushi.Originally, it was so difficult for a widow to take care of the child alone, even if he made some money this year, he shouldn't have to pay for it, but this time he took so much money for the affairs of the village.He is capable and sensible. Many people who were not very familiar with Yu Shi before, now they are more enthusiastic when they meet each other.

At the end of April, most of the vegetables in the vegetable field have been taken away by Fuyun Building, and Duan Jie's wallet has bulged a lot. From the smiling face of the vegetable collector, Duan Jie can tell that the other party's business has been guaranteed for more than a month. It has improved a lot.There are three new lambs in the house, the wheat in the space is about to be harvested, and the fruit seedlings planted last year, the peach and pear trees are already bearing fruit, and they will be ready to eat soon. Several kinds of trees seem to need to wait for a while.As for the ranch, Duan Jie has to collect a lot of eggs and duck eggs every day, and he can pick up one or two hundred a day. After Duan Jie checked the total number of eggs and duck eggs stored in the warehouse, he came out with an embarrassing face .So he already saved so many balls, more than 1!It is enough to eat without raising chickens in this life.Everything made Duan Jie feel that the days are getting better and better.Until one day, an acquaintance came to him again.
