The old doctor of Yicaotang left a lot of medicine for Wen Wenhua, and because of the night's death, it was impossible for him to collect the medical fee.

After instructing Wen Wenhua, he took the carriage back.

Ai Qiaoqiao also went back with Tingfeng, but in the evening, she made nourishing soup and sent it, and the little wolf came with her.

The little wolf has been trained by Wen Wenhua for a while, he knows him, and Runxue has also fed it, so the little wolf is no stranger to them.

"Let the little wolf be here with you these days, there is a tiger outside, let the little wolf stay in the house, and you can hear anything outside."

Wen Wenhua thanked Ai Qiaoqiao and left the little wolf behind.

The next day, Wen Wenhua went to the upper room and formally proposed to separate from his mother.

The Wen family's mother-in-law was furious, but yesterday she had already said that she could not take it back.

"I won't stop you if you want to get out, but in the end, if you regret it, don't even if you kneel at the gate and don't want to enter this door again." The Wen family's mother-in-law said with a dark face.

Wen Wenhua didn't say a word, knelt down and kowtowed to her three times.

"My son has no regrets."

Seeing that the eldest son was so resolute, the Wen family's mother-in-law felt even more uncomfortable.

"There are only a few acres of land at home, you can't occupy more."

"It's just by population." Wen Wenhua said in a deep voice, "At that time, I will ask the officials to be a witness." ”

The Wen family's mother-in-law was taken aback.

She deliberately made things difficult for her son and didn't want to give him the land, if she had followed his temper before, she would have said whatever she wanted.

He never took the initiative to fight.

But this time he actually mentioned the lieutenant......

Wen Wenhua pursed his lips tightly, letting his mother's angry gaze fall on him.

Ai Qiaoqiao had already secretly reminded him that even if he wanted to split up, he must be upright, and he must not divide it in private, and if he wants to make trouble, he will make a big fuss.

He didn't care if his mother would give him something, but Ai Qiaoqiao's words touched him.

"You can't bear to watch Runxue's sister-in-law suffer with you, and you won't even be able to eat rice rations next year?"

Wen Wenhua silently looked at Wen Xiaoxiao and Wen Erniu who were crowded on the kang, they were eating oil pancakes.

is also the grandchildren of the family, but his children are so quietly gone.

Who knows the pain in his heart, Runxue is a woman and can cry, but he can't.

The child who has been looking forward to it for so long, the two of them will whisper about the future days every night when they lie in bed.

When the child is born, what name should he choose, whether it is a boy or a girl...... Wen Wenhua even thought that he would have to work harder in the future and let his children urinate better from an early age.

But since she was pregnant with a child, let alone a pancake with oil, she just wanted to eat a bowl of soy sauce bibimbap, and she was scolded by her mother.

In the end, he wanted to reason with his mother, but he asked Runxue to stop him and let him endure it.

It was he who was wrong!

Just like Ai Qiaoqiao said, if you take a step back, others will only treat you as weak and bullied.

So even if he divides it, he will never take less than half of what should belong to him.

The Wen family's mother-in-law gritted her teeth and waited for a long time but didn't see Wen Wenhua say soft words, and she couldn't pull her face to take back her previous words, so she had to calculate according to the population of her family and take out the title deed of Wen Wenhua's land.

However, the title deed was taken out, but she refused to hand it over to Wen Wenhua.

Wen Wenhua also knew that this was his mother's means and wanted to drag things down.

But he has already made up his mind, even if the matter drags on, he doesn't care, anyway, as long as the officials are invited to the house at that time, even if his mother doesn't admit it, it's useless.

Wen Wenhua was not in a hurry to ask for the title deed, went back to the house and took care of Runxue to take the medicine first, and then took the little wolf into the house when she fell asleep, and then went to Ai Qiaoqiao after closing the door.

Zhang Wu and his father arrived early, Ai Qiaoqiao cooked spiced peanuts, and was peeling peanut shells with Lan's.

When Wen Wenhua came in, Ai Qiaoqiao greeted again and again, "Brother Wen, come and sit and taste the peanuts I just cooked, they are fragrant." ”

Wen Wenhua didn't refuse, grabbed a handful, and stopped after eating only a few grains.

"What, not to taste?" Ai Qiaoqiao asked.

"It's not...... I think it's good...... Runxue used to like to eat this the most...... I want to ......"

Ai Qiaoqiao smiled, "Sister-in-law Runxue is indispensable, you see that I have already prepared." She smiled and took out the food box, "There's also the soup I just made in the morning, and I'm about to ask them to help deliver it." ”

Wen Wenhua was grateful, but he couldn't speak.

Listening to the wind and rain, he left the old house with the food box and went to deliver soup to Runxue.

After Ai Qiaoqiao placed the Lan family here, he got to the point.

"I want to take some ice and store it while there is still ice on the river, and sell it in the summer."

Zhang Wu's father's eyes lit up, "I heard that the rich families in the city have their own ice cellars, which are taken out and used in the summer. ”

Wen Wenhua is not as well-informed as Zhang Wu's father, "The ice will melt when spring begins, can the ice you save be put in the summer?" ”

"I can store it in the ice cellar." Ai Qiaoqiao smiled and said, "My father used to make his own ice cellar, and the ice stored can be kept until the summer, at that time, the homemade cold wine in our tavern was sold very well, and I can also make some ice snacks, and sell them to major restaurants at that time, as long as the things are good, no one will want them." ”

Zhang Wu's father nodded again and again, "Taking ice is hard work, but I'm not afraid of anything, as long as you can store the ice well, it won't be a problem to make money." ”

Ai Qiaoqiao had already thought that she was going to set up the ice cellar in that secret cave.

Ice cellars are mostly arched underground ice cellars made of masonry, and private ice cellars are generally relatively simple, digging soil pits and storing ice in cellars.

The secret cave is like a natural ice cellar, and the temperature is extremely low throughout the year, but the secret door of the cave is not suitable for large objects to enter and exit.

Ai Qiaoqiao planned to build another hidden cellar elsewhere, and then open another door from there to the cave.

If she didn't leave the house overnight, she didn't want too many people to know about it, so she planned to go to Huai'an City and discuss it with the shopkeeper Xu of Yicaotang.

The people also discussed the matter of taking the ice.

Zhang Wu's father said, "Many families in the village have horse-drawn carts, and they need vehicles to transport ice from the river. ”

Moreover, taking ice is a physical task, and the weather is cold, and I am afraid that even people will freeze after a few hours.

Ai Qiao thought to himself, "I want to pay according to the amount of ice, and I will pay one or two taels of silver for every five truckloads of ice that are brought back." ”

Zhang Wu's father nodded, "This price is not low, but it is a little troublesome how to distribute this money." ”

Ai Qiaoqiao grinned, "I can't do this, so I can only ask Uncle Zhang." ”

Zhang Wu's father was quite reputable in the village, he thought about it and nodded.

"Cheng, since Qiaoqiao trusts me, then I'll pull this head, I'll spread the news first in the next few days to see how many people want to come to work."

Zhang Wu said: "I'll go to the village to inquire and see how many families can rent a carriage to come out." ”

"When the ice comes back, I want Brother Wen to be in charge of the ice cellar." Ai Qiaoqiao turned to Wen Wenhua.

Wen Wenhua was just about to answer, when he heard the rain panting and ran in from outside the courtyard gate.

"Qiaoqiao girl, no, the second child of the Wen family came over, and the little wolf bit him, and he said that he wanted you to pay him for the medicine!"

As soon as the rain fell, Wen Buming, the second child of the Wen family, came in from outside the door with a scolding.

"That little beast was raised by you, grandma's, that beast dared to bite someone, you see it bit my leg, you have to pay me for the medicine."
