Chapter 20

Hearing Zhang's question, Xu laughed out loud, "You don't know, this morning, that Ma Xiaocui moved into your original house. A group of them happily went in, but after a while, they all ran out crying and shouting, and that look, you don't see, is so funny.

And that Ma Xiaocui, it's even funnier, she actually threw up, haha...... You really should have a look. ”

When Zhang heard Xu say this, she didn't laugh out loud as she imagined, but was a little uneasy, "Sister-in-law Xu, what did they do after that, did they say they were coming to us or something?" ”

"Oh, what can they do, at most a few scolding. If you want me to say, this is all cheap for them, and they will occupy a good house, if I want to, I have to give them some color to see. Xu snorted and chirped.

When Zhang heard her say this, she was relieved, but she suddenly remembered one more thing, so she asked Xu, "What about the fifth child, has my sister-in-law seen him, and is his injury better?" ”

"He's it!" Xu Shi seemed to be very disgusted with Tian Lao Wu, and pursed his lips disdainfully, "Who knows, I don't even bother to look at him." But I saw Ma Xiaocui and they seemed to have carried someone, so I guess it was him. ”

"Oh!" Zhang nodded, and didn't mention it anymore.

Xu handed the handkerchief in his hand to Zhang, "By the way, I have one more thing to do this time." You see, this is my newly bought handkerchief, which is made of fine satin, but unfortunately there is no pattern on it, and it is a little unsightly. Look, can you help me embroider a pair of mandarin ducks, my family likes to see it. ”

Zhang picked up the hand cloth next to him and wiped his hands, reached out and took the handkerchief in Xu's hand and looked at it, "Okay, as long as my sister-in-law doesn't think my embroidery is ugly." ”

"Your embroidery is not ugly, it is better than the embroidery in the village, then please leave this matter to you!"

"Okay, sister-in-law, you can come back in two days to get it."

Xu nodded with satisfaction, and then left.

Zhang was afraid that Xu's handkerchief would be soiled, so he stood up and sent the handkerchief to the house, and then came back to continue his work.

"Take your own things as a favor, when the embroidery thread at home is blown by the wind!" Zhao glanced at Zhang and said mockingly.

Zhang was a little embarrassed and whispered, "It's all from the villagers, I think I can help it." ”

"The villagers, the villagers don't have to eat to buy salt? I think you are praised by two good words, she has money to buy a handkerchief, why not just buy a flower one, there are any patterns in the embroidery village, and it also saves trouble.

I think she just wants to come here to take advantage, who doesn't know that the one with the pattern is cheaper than the one without the pattern, and everyone else is a fool! Zhao sneered.

Zhang's cheeks were red when Zhao said it, but she didn't dare to argue with Zhao anymore, just sat there and pounded the shrimp silently.

She didn't speak, and Zhao felt that she was more reasonable, "You know that there are so many people in the whole village, why doesn't she look for anyone, only you?" It's not that you're stupid, you send everything outside.

You don't want to think about it, if you help others so much, will others help you? She said she didn't care about the one or two pieces of silver, but when the fifth child had no money to marry a daughter-in-law, did she ever lend you a penny of silver? If she really wants to help you, with the strength of her family, how could she not take out 10 taels of silver, and how could the fifth child think of selling Chengyu.

If you want me to say, if Chengyu is really sold, no one will complain, but you will be blamed. "Zhao is also a mother, and she knows where Zhang's weakness is.

Hearing Zhao mention Tian Chengyu's matter, Zhang's lips trembled a little, she will never forget the scene of the separation of flesh and blood that day, and even if she thinks about it now, she is afraid.

And she can clearly feel that since that time, there has been an indescribable estrangement between Tian Chengyu and her, and she is very heartbroken about this, but she doesn't know how to tell Tian Chengyu at all, so she can only silently care more about Tian Chengyu and try her best to meet his requirements.

It's a pity that it has little effect, and now Tian Chengyu sees her, just as she hoped before, very polite, but it is not what she wants to see, because there is a kind of alienation in that politeness.

Tian Chengyu's attitude was like a file that frustrated Zhang's heart, making her hesitate and heartache.

Biting his lip fiercely, Zhang said: "Otherwise, I'll send her the handkerchief back, I've been very busy at home recently, and I still have a screen to embroider, so I may not have time to embroider her." ”

Zhang found a reason for herself, although the reason was the actual situation at all, but from her mouth, it was a little more like making excuses.

"You should have sent her back a long time ago, if it were me, I wouldn't have taken it at all." Zhao glanced at Zhang proudly.

After Zhang finished speaking, he didn't move, and whispered, "But I have already promised her." Apparently the pain just now had passed, and her emotions had lost to reason.

"Hmph, sooner or later, this family will be defeated in your hands." Seeing Zhang's reversal, Zhao angrily scooped a large scoop of water and poured it into the crockpot, making a loud sound of water hitting the wall of the crockpot.

After speaking, she didn't feel that it was enough, and threw the gourd scoop aside, "Don't do it, I can see it clearly, even if I'm tired to death, it's useless, I want to make some money here, and someone over there is busy sending money out." Good people let others do it, and I'm a bad person. ”

With that, Zhao went to the house.

When Zhang saw it, he quickly stood up and said anxiously: "Fourth brother and sister, don't be angry, it's all my fault!" Otherwise, if you're tired, you can go and rest for a while, and I'll do the work here. Zhang said good things.

Zhao snorted coldly and ignored Zhang.

"Come back, where are you going?" Jiang Wanbai didn't interject after listening to them for so long, because she felt that what the Zhao family said made sense, and this Xu family looked like the kind of villain who couldn't be friends. But now, Zhao wants to strike, and she won't allow it.

Zhao turned around and looked at Jiang Wanbai dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to say anything. Her strike is indeed very unreasonable, Jiang Wanbai is still working, she can't go in to rest even if she has a big reason.

"The third daughter-in-law, you will have less dealings with people like Xu in the future, you must be able to distinguish between right and wrong, distinguish between good people, bad people, and good people, you can be good to her, but to bad people, if you are good to her, she will only dislike you and not treat her better.

Even if you give her blood to drink, she will hate you because you didn't give her bone marrow but only blood. You have also seen the things of the fifth child, and what you do not matter means that you are alone, and it also represents our whole family.

Today is just a handkerchief, things are okay to say, if you encounter something big one day, you will be like this, it will definitely affect your children, even our whole family, how can you bear it. The more Jiang Wanbai spoke, the more excited she became, and she was really afraid of being hit by her, so her tone became more and more harsh.

Zhang's face turned pale, and the pound-pestle in his hand almost didn't fall off his hand.

"The sage also said that it is necessary to punish evil and promote good, and there is still a king of immobility in Buddhism, and it is right that you are not good to bad people. Think for yourself!

Today's handkerchief, since you promised others, you can't be the kind of person who doesn't believe in your word, forget it, but next time, I hope you think about it before you agree, and then make a decision. Jiang Wanbai finished speaking in one breath, and her mood was much better.

Zhang was silent for a moment, and then said, "Yes, mother."

After a turmoil, several people continued to make shrimp paste, but Zhao suddenly remembered something and said: "Mother, the shameless one just now saw us making shrimp paste, she won't steal it, right?" After speaking, she seemed to have seen the scene of countless copper coins flying away with wings, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh no, this is not good, how is this good!" ”

After shouting, she threw her anger on the Zhang family again, "It's all your fault, if it weren't for you, the shameless one wouldn't have found here, now it's okay, our family's way to make money will be cut off by you, you are happy!" ”

Zhao was a little nonsense when he said this, but Zhang really felt that it was all her fault, and suddenly looked at Jiang Wanbai with some anxiety.

Jiang Wanbai actually thought about this problem, there is actually nothing particularly difficult about this shrimp paste, a clear-eyed person tastes it, and tries a few more times, and it will be successful, so she never thought of doing a unique business, but to preconceive, let people develop a habit, and if they want to eat shrimp paste in the future, they will come to her to buy it.

This is similar to the modern brand effect, but Jiang Wanbai did not tell the Zhao family about this, these are long-term, and the Zhao family now needs a short-term visible reason to comfort.

"She only saw us do it, but then there was a more critical step, she didn't see it, and she didn't know the specific proportion of these things we put in, so don't worry!

Besides, there is such a lake near us, and the second child estimates that they will be able to catch all the shrimp in the lake in the next few days, and when those shrimps are caught, even if she knows something, there will be no raw materials. Jiang Wanbai comforted.

When Zhao heard Jiang Wanbai say this, he smiled again.

In the afternoon, Tian Lao Er and the others returned with a full load, so everyone in the Tian family ate delicious fish again. After each of them had eaten a round stomach, they went back to their rooms to rest.

In the summer, it was dark late, the Tian family finished eating, the sky was still very bright, and tomorrow was the market, Jiang Wanbai was worried about whether her shrimp paste had fermented well, so she sat in the house for a while, and then walked to the back.

The jar where the shrimp paste was placed was under the eaves at the back of the house, and Jiang Wanbai was just about to open the jar when she heard the voice of Zhao talking to Tian Laosi from the house, and the voice was very real, as if it was said beside her, which made her stunned.

Looking back, there was no one behind her, subconsciously looking up, she saw a window, after a little thought, she understood that this window was the back window of the wing house where Tian Laosi lived, and their voices came from that window.

I didn't want to hear what Tian Laosi said at all, but the voice involuntarily reached Jiang Wanbai's ears.

"It's a market tomorrow again, how much do you think our shrimp paste can sell for this time?" This is Zhao's voice.

"I sold it for seven or eight hundred yuan last time, so it should be about the same this time." Speaking of money, Tian Laosi's tone was a little excited.

"I think it's more than last time. Last time, it was the shrimp paste that the third sister-in-law dug for others, and every spoonful of shrimp paste was sharp, and I felt distressed when I saw it. Tomorrow I'll dig up, and a jar will definitely dig out a few more spoonfuls than her. Thirty wen per spoonful, these spoonfuls are more than 100 yuan. ”

When it came to money, Zhao's words changed sharply, and he said with some regret, "If only the two of us went to sell shrimp paste tomorrow, how much will it cost to sell a spoonful, how much will each spoonful, and how much it will be sold in the end, it is not up to us to decide." ”

It seemed that he heard the sound of copper coins in his pocket, and Zhao's tone became excited.

Tian Laosi also seemed to be very moved, "If that's of course good, I'm afraid that my mother won't let go." ”

"How old is my mother, and she can't keep following us."

"What do you mean......" Before Tian Laosi finished speaking, there was a laugh of two people in the room, like a mouse stealing oil.

Jiang Wanbai's eyebrows furrowed, this Tian Laosi and the Zhao family actually started this idea again, no wonder the Zhao family cared so much about the problem of shrimp sauce during the day, it turned out that she had already saved selfishness, I'm afraid, she has already used this shrimp paste as her own means of making money, it's really worrying.

However, they reminded her that it was indeed impossible for her, with her old arms and legs, to sell shrimp paste by herself all the time.

Also, if the Tian family wants to get rich in the future, there must be many similar things, and she needs to prepare in advance and cultivate a right-hand man.

But who to cultivate, that's a question.

The four of them are definitely not good, not to mention that they are starting to think about taking advantage of the family now, and if they are cultivated in the future, maybe they will be a Tian boss again, that is, they will be their people, so they can't do it. According to their business, it will be okay for a day or two, and it will definitely stop for a long time.

What about the three and the two? As soon as she thought of Zhang, Jiang Wanbai immediately wanted to shake her head.

Then there are only two left, thinking about it carefully, Jiang Wanbai feels that the two of them are actually really good.

Tian Lao Er is actually very smart, when he was a child, he studied and even the teacher praised him, but later the Tian family fell, so he was very sensible to give the opportunity to Tian Lao, and he came back to farm, support his parents, and took on the responsibility of the eldest brother.

At that time, the Tian family was old and young, and Tian Lao Er also had a lot of weight in talking at home, but after so many years, he and the Wang family had no children, and his younger brother gradually grew up, so he became an invisible person like now. However, many things are clear in his heart.

Similarly, there is Wang.

The more Jiang Wanbai thought about it, the more she felt that it was appropriate, and she was thinking about when to talk to Tian Lao Er, when she heard Tian Lao Er's voice behind her, "Mother, in two days, I'm afraid that the shrimp in this lake will be caught by us." I'll come and tell you. ”

This Tian Er really belongs to Cao Cao, and when he said it, Jiang Wanbai turned around, "I know, anyway, these shrimp pastes can be sold for a while, and the autumn harvest will start in a few days, and the time is just right." ”

When Tian Lao Er heard Jiang Wanbai say this, his originally frowning brows instantly relaxed.

"By the way, tomorrow you and your daughter-in-law will go to the market with me to sell shrimp paste." Jiang Wanbai's voice didn't become smaller at all when she said this. She knew what she said, Tian Laosi and the Zhao family would definitely hear it, but what she wanted was for them to hear it, so that the matter could be resolved at once.

Tian Lao Er seemed to be surprised, and after being surprised, he wanted to shirk it.

"Second brother, don't you want our family to get better and better? Or do you simply not care about what happens at home, and don't care about the life or death of me and these people? ”

Jiang Wanbai has learned a lot of things now, she knows that although Tian Chengyun is not the first child in the family, he is the first to be born and raised in the family, and Tian Lao Er has never had a child, so he loves Tian Chengyun the most and is the most filial.

Jiang Wanbai talked to Tian Carrier about herself, where did Tian Lao Er suffer, his eyes were red, "Mother, for you, I dare to go up to Daoshan and get off the oil pot." ”

"Then from tomorrow, you will take over the sale of shrimp paste." Jiang Wanbai made the final decision.

Tian Lao Er nodded, and as soon as he left with his front foot, Zhao and Tian Lao Si rushed out of the house like a whirlwind.
