Chapter 13: Human Nature is Vicious

The inner uneasiness met the torment of no milk, and Cheng Yufeng quickly put the matter of the second aunt behind him.

Fortunately, after two days of hard sucking, Tongtong finally sucked out some milk.

Listening to the sound of Tongtong's "coo-dong" swallowing, Cheng Yufeng was finally a little relieved in her heart.

I always hear others say that the best way to get milk is to let the child suck more and drink more water, and the first time I used the theory I heard in real life, I didn't expect it to be quite effective!

Qiao Shi was also happy: "It seems that the egg soup I ate has worked." I'll ask your dad to find a place to borrow some more eggs. ”

Cheng Yufeng hurriedly called her: "Mother, don't borrow it anymore, the money that my brother got from going up the mountain to chop firewood in the past two days can buy some eggs and come back." always let my father go out to borrow like this, he is a big man's family, how embarrassing. ”

Cheng Yufeng didn't mention the herb to Qiao's family, firstly, because he was afraid that there would be no sales for everyone, and secondly, he was afraid that this matter would reach the ears of his hometown, and then it would be endless trouble.

"What's this?" Qiao Shi pinned the broken hair on his cheek behind his ear, "Your father is popular, and no one will embarrass him from his hometown." ”

How much money can be exchanged for chopping wood, she doesn't know that if they are really so profitable, their family's life will not be as poor as it is now. Mother-in-law deprivation is only part of the reason, the most important thing is that there is no money.

This time, Cheng Yufeng said that he would not let his father borrow anything again, and coaxed Qiao's to say that the firewood that his brother cut this time was different from usual, as long as he met someone who knew the goods, he would definitely be able to sell it at a good price, anyway, there was still food in the past two days, so it was better to wait first.

Qiao didn't know anything about chopping wood, and nodded in disbelief.

The matter of borrowing eggs will be put aside for the time being.

Cheng Chang didn't disappoint Cheng Yufeng at all, and when he came back from the mountain the next day, he brought back a large bag of dried heavy buildings and handed them to Cheng Yufeng: "I didn't expect you to get this thing quite useful, I woke up this morning, and the bruises on my legs have already been smaller." If such a useful thing is sold in the town, how many people will rush to buy it! ”

"Not necessarily. This is medicine, not firewood, any firewood can be burned, and this has to wait to see the effect, so only if the trust of the injured is gained, will someone rush to buy it. ”

There are no rich people in this area, and most people have bruises and injuries that they have to carry and pass, who would be willing to spend money to buy medicine to apply it? Besides, even if someone really needs to buy medicine, they will generally go to the pharmacy to buy it, after all, there is a guarantee after sale.

Cheng Chang actually thought about it, it was really such a truth.

"Forget it, I don't understand, you just have to get it, I'll wait to pack up the firewood and take it to the town to see if I can sell it."

Cheng Yufeng picked up the dried heavy buildings one by one, ground them into a paste with rice wine, washed and dried the medicine jars used at home, and put them in, so that Cheng Chang could take them to the town.

She didn't dare to get her hopes up either.

After all, business is difficult to do, whether it is in the current era of advanced science and technology, or in the ancient times when life was poor, the wise saying "making money is more difficult than eating" is applicable.

At dusk, Cheng Yufeng had just fed Tongtong to sleep, and Cheng Chang came back from selling firewood.

Cheng Yufeng hurriedly poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Cheng Changjing: "It's freezing outside, hurry up and drink a cup of water to warm your stomach." ”

"There's no hurry." Cheng Chang actually took the bowl and put it on the table, untied the money bag around his waist, and solemnly handed it to Cheng Yufeng.

Looking at him but smiling, Cheng Yufeng guessed at once: "Brother, did you really sell the ointment?" ”

Cheng Chang unhurriedly picked up the tea bowl and said with a smile: "Don't you know if you look at it?" ”

Cheng Yufeng opened it and counted it, and there were twenty-five copper plates in it.

Although she has no concept of copper plates in this era, she also knows that these twenty-five copper plates are already a lot, and the daily expenses of ordinary people are only about ten copper plates.

"I got fifteen copper plates for selling firewood." When he said this, Cheng Chang was unexpectedly light, and there was a smile under the corners of his mouth.

Cheng Yufeng happily closed her mouth: "So, the plaster was sold for ten copper plates?" ”

It really exceeded her expectations.

She thought that the plaster would not be sold, but she didn't expect that the teacher would go quite smoothly. Now Daddy finally doesn't have to go out and borrow eggs.

But~

Cheng Yufeng hurriedly explained: "Brother, don't tell anyone about this, even your father and mother have to hide it first." ”

Cheng Chang's face was puzzled: "I can understand if I don't tell others, but why do I have to hide it from my father?" ”

"I'm not allowed to let my father and mother go out and say that I'm leaking, it's all a matter at that time, not to mention how the people in my hometown come over to make trouble, it's the neighbors, how many of them really want us to have a good life?"

Just like in an orphanage, no matter how good the girlfriends used to be, once one of them is a little better, he receives all kinds of blessings in person, but behind it is curses and abuse.

Human nature is a thing that can only be known through experience, how vicious it really is.

Cheng Chang nodded in agreement with her thoughts.

"By the way, brother, tell me how the plaster is sold?" If it's really that easy to sell, she will do a little more tomorrow and come back with more money.
