As soon as the old man's words came out, everyone knew that this matter was in the past. Although it is a shame, it is so good that it is thirty taels of silver! Recently, the family has had a bad year, and it costs money everywhere, and this money can be regarded as taking over the urgent needs of the family.

The old man entered the room, and Zhang Li also hid the money again, only Da Lang's face was still not very good. "Brother Zhengyuan, has Hui'er really been sold?" Qiuhua sat on the edge of the bed, touched her belly, and asked with a frown. She is very worried now, her mother-in-law is so patriarchal, what if she gives birth to a daughter, will she also be sold without saying a word in the future?

Zhengyuan's face was dark, his head was lowered, and he didn't know what to think again

"Why don't I ask my brother to inquire and see where Hui'er is sold, and there may be a chance in the future" There may be a chance to meet again or redeem her in the future. Before Qiuhua could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Zhengyuan.

"No need, didn't you hear my father, don't spread this matter, just say that Hui'er was put in my mother's uncle's house, anyway, my mother's uncle's house is far away, this reason is reasonable,"

Qiuhua felt incredible, and looked at the man in a daze, his expression still showed that he was sad, but did he just give up?

"You rest early, I'll go for a walk. After Zhengyuan finished speaking, he picked up a coat and went out. Qiuhua stayed alone in the dimly lit room and suddenly felt a little scared.

Qiao Shi was holding a bowl of medicine and feeding Zhengming to eat. The two older children were playing with the flowing horses on the side, and the younger one was lying on the basket and laughing happily watching the brothers.

Zhengming looked at his own children, and suddenly felt very lucky: Fortunately, my family is all sons, otherwise it may be my own children who will be sold. He suddenly felt a little sad for his brother, and his parents sold their children without saying a word, he should be very sad, right?

"Child, Auntie" Zhengming smiled at Qiao's slightly

"Huh?" Qiao Shi looked at him puzzled

"I've been very fortunate in the past few years, right? I think the illness is a little better, let's talk to my father about the separation of the family, we don't want the family's silver, we will be allocated a few acres of land, we are lucky, and life is also passable, do you say okay?" The silver was obtained by his mother who sold the eldest brother's daughter, and he always felt that he couldn't get by spending that money. "You're in charge, you're in charge. Although Qiao's pity that Erlang gave up the silver, she is an understanding person, so naturally she will not be angry with Erlang because of this.

But the family has so many people, and the small ones are too small, so they rely on the few acres of land that Erlang and himself have shared, and life is not easy, if only he could have a craft like Erniang. She silently calculated in her heart: should you get closer to her in the future?

Seeing that his wife was intimate, Erlang was in a much more cheerful mood, so he took the medicine and drank it all in one gulp. "Spoonful by spoonful is too bitter, it's better to drink the medicine or take a sip. Erlang handed the bowl to Qiao Shi and winked at her. "Why did you want me to feed it earlier!" Qiao glared at him, took the bowl and went out.

Although they have three children, they are still in their early twenties, and they occasionally show their childish side when they get along.

Zhengyuan's mood was very depressed, he first went to a friend's house, drank some wine, and wanted to find someone to talk to, but it was difficult to say, so he left his friend's house without a few sips, walked along the stream, and unconsciously walked to the head of the village. Further ahead is Shumin's house, he looked at the courtyard leading to his ex-wife, but he didn't have the courage to lift his legs, looked at it in a daze for a while, turned around and went back home.

At this time, it was not too late, and Zhang Li lit the oil lamp and beckoned the two daughters-in-law to do needlework in the hall. In order to save fuel in the countryside, only one lamp is usually lit.

It's just that the atmosphere tonight is a bit deserted, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law only care about embroidering with their heads down, without any communication. "Flowers, you should go and rest early. Zhang Li saw that Da Lang was back, and knew that he still had an opinion about himself in his heart, so he ordered Qiuhua to accompany him. "No, it's still early, I'll embroider for a while" Qiuhua refused, and she didn't raise her head.

Zhengyuan stood in the courtyard for a while, and saw that the autumn flowers did not come out, so he had to lie down in the first room, he drank wine, and the wind blew, and his mood was even more depressed, and he couldn't sleep.

He really wanted to find someone to talk to, but after thinking about it, that person only had Qiuhua, but when Qiuhua came in, he ignored him and fell asleep with his back against him. This made him even more depressed.

In Shumin's small courtyard, dinner is also very rich, Zhengxing's family and Shumin's family, the two families eat very happily. After dinner, Shumin ran out of hot water, gave Hui'er a comfortable hot bath, and changed her into new clothes that she had prepared a long time ago.

Hui'er is already beautiful, and she is even more energetic after putting on new clothes.

Feng An has been following Hui'er since she woke up, and gradually, Hui'er didn't reject him so much, and the two had a good time.

Because of the drunken wind building, now even at night to continue to make tofu, so Shumin's small courtyard is brightly lit. "Hui'er Niang, we really can't take care of it if it goes on like this. Zhengxing's daughter-in-law said, "Why don't we invite some more people?" "The place is too small, and there are many inconvenient places to invite people." "It's not that I haven't thought about this problem, Shumin also has a headache. "Otherwise, let's call Sister-in-law Li, and we don't need her to come over, just let her grind the beans and squeeze the soy milk at home and pick the soy milk over. "Anyway, the most important thing is to take gypsum and order tofu, this key is not known to others, and people can't make tofu. "It's a good idea, and Sister-in-law Li is also very good. I'll go to her house tomorrow and talk about it. Shumin knew that the sister-in-law Li in Zhengxing's daughter-in-law was the one who moved over to help that day, and she was a very warm-hearted person.

"Yes, let's just say a quantity, let her make it according to five catties of beans and a bucket of soy milk every day, and give more silver money when the time comes, it's all the same. "Zhengxing's daughter-in-law is very good at calculating, and she can figure out how much money to give at once.

Shu Min was amazed in her heart, and felt that she was very reasonable, so she adopted her opinion. Zhengxing's daughter-in-law saw that Shumin trusted herself so much, and she talked more and more about Shumin.

"Actually, according to me, I shouldn't have signed that special supply agreement with Zuifeng Lou in the first place, otherwise, our tofu could be sold to the provincial capital. and then sell from the provincial capital to the capital, so that we can really make a lot of money. "Your mother-in-law, do you know what it means to make a lot of money? "What's not to do if you make a lot of money, the bamboo mat you made in the past, the craftsmanship was so ordinary, and I sold it at a higher price than others, why don't you say it?" Zhengxing's daughter-in-law was not convinced and retorted.

"Okay, why are you mentioning that!" Zhengxing said with a blushing face. He was discharged from the army due to injury, and he had no choice but to start weaving bamboo mats, and his skills were really very ordinary, but his mother-in-law didn't sell them when he couldn't sell them. "Why can't you mention it? I just don't have a good body, if I invest in that businessman's house, maybe it's a piece of business material!" Zhengxing's daughter-in-law continued to argue with her husband. "Even if you are born in a businessman's family, you are also a woman, what kind of business can you do, and you are not afraid of twisting your tongue and talking big. Zhengxing showed no weakness.

Shu Min watched the husband and wife bickering while doing things under the lamp, and felt that this scene was very warm, and couldn't help but join in

"My sister-in-law is amazing, when our tofu business reaches the capital, we can also take care of my sister-in-law's blessing and go to the capital for a visit. ”

"You, stop holding her, hold her again, her tail will rise to the sky!" Zhengxing said with a smile.

"Smack" Zhengxing's daughter-in-law grabbed a handful of bean dregs and threw it at him, hitting his forehead. splashed Zhengxing's face with soy milk. It's as funny as it looks. It made everyone laugh.

Late at night, everyone finished work, Zhengxing's daughter-in-law helped the tired Zhengxing go home, and Feng'an also went back to his room to sleep. Hui'er sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Shumin, refusing to sleep.

"It's late, isn't Hui'er sleepy?" said Shumin, touching her little face

"Sleepy," Hui'er yawned, "but I don't want to sleep." When I fell asleep, my mother was gone."

Hui'er means that if you close your eyes, you won't be able to see your mother, but the child is still young and what she says is not very clear.

"Well, my wife is sleeping with you, even if you are asleep, your mother is also next to you, you can feel it. Shumin carried her to the bed, covered her with the quilt, and gently clicked to wish her sleep.

Hui'er soon fell asleep, Shumin was not sleepy yet, she got up and opened the rice paper, there was a sketch of the sewing machine she had half drawn on it, she picked up the charcoal and continued to draw.

If this sewing machine is made, what kind of impact will it have? Will it bring an industrial revolution to the world here? Shu Min looked at the more and more perfect sketches, and thought beautifully.

At dawn the next day, Shumin got up to make tofu, since there was tofu at home, the standard breakfast at home was tofu or bean curd and steamed buns. The steamed buns are made by Zhengxing's daughter-in-law, and almost all of their family is now solved at Shumin's house.

After breakfast, Shumin went to Sister-in-law Li's house, and after explaining her intentions, Sister-in-law Li's family was very happy. Although the conditions of his family are still okay, it is always a good thing for the family to have multiple incomes, and Zhang Zhenghe, the husband of Sister-in-law Li, agreed to pick ten buckets of soy milk every day.

The beans in this world are worthless, only a penny a pound. Shumin collects ten cents per pass for soybean milk, and ten barrels a day is one hundred cents, which is a lot, much more than working part-time jobs in the town.

Sister-in-law Li's family is honest and enthusiastic, thinking that Hui'er Niang is really good, and with such a good family, she must not live up to her expectations. Each bucket of soy milk is made in strict accordance with what Shumin said, without a trace of the idea of cutting corners.

With Sister-in-law Li's family to share, Shumin and Zhengxing's family are a lot easier.

Just had the idea of being lazy, and Liu Zikai, the shopkeeper upstairs in the city, came to visit again.
