Motherwort and Perilla actually don't want to buy, this thing takes up too much space, if the purchase comes, it will need a lot of dustpans, and now she has two dustpans to use, even if they are borrowed from Aunt Liao and Aunt Guixiang's house, there is no place to dry them at home.

Wu Caihua said: "What about the price?" How much does a wild chrysanthemum cost? ”

She knows the price of motherwort and perilla, although she only knows perilla and does not know motherwort, but it does not prevent her from collecting medicine, and when the time comes, ask Lin Zifu if she will know.

Wild chrysanthemums are a good thing, and they are easy to pick.

As long as the price is good, you will pick wild chrysanthemums tomorrow.

Lin Zifu said: "Motherwort and perilla are two pennies, and wild chrysanthemums are three pennies, but wild chrysanthemums must be clean, there can be no leaves and rhizomes in them, as long as the flower bones, but motherwort and perilla I don't want to buy them now, and there is no place to dry." ”

After Wu Caihua knew the price of these three herbs, she felt that it was more profitable to pick wild chrysanthemums and dig wheat winters, in fact, thinking about motherwort and perilla was still quite profitable, that thing was fast, but Lin Zifu had no place to dry and didn't want to buy it, so she couldn't take the risk of getting it.

"Then can you call me when you go into the mountain tomorrow, and I will follow you to collect medicine." She was in high spirits and wanted to tell her good sisters the news now.

Aunt Liao's Mai Dong was about to be washed, and she raised her head to look at Wu Caihua and said, "Don't tell your troublesome sisters, lest you make trouble for Zifu when you get it, people are kind enough to help us, don't make it unpleasant in the end." ”

Wu Caihua's good sisters have those she still knows, there are two things in them, and they love to cause trouble.

Lin Zifu didn't want to cause trouble, so she hurriedly said: "Aunt Caihua, don't call those troublemakers, I just came to the village and don't want to offend people casually." ”

Many people in the village don't know each other, if it weren't for the fact that they couldn't offend each other casually, and they didn't want Wu Caihua to follow the medicine.

Aunt Ying came with a basket and a wooden basin at this time, glanced at Wu Caihua, and didn't say much.

Wu Caihua had seen Aunt Ying's appearance from a distance before, and she was scared when she thought of the hideous scar on Aunt Ying's face.

"Don't worry, I'm definitely not looking for the kind of troublemaker."

Aunt Ying said in a sullen voice: "I'm most afraid of quarreling with others. ”

Wu Caihua nodded again and again, and left with a few perfunctory smiles.

She had to tell her good sisters the good news, it was an opportunity to make money.

Look at the ones that Aunt Liao dug up are about five catties, four cents a pound is twenty cents, even if they go out to find something to do, no one wants to ask for it, and how many people envy them to make money in the village.

And you can also give a few good sisters a treat, why not.

When Wu Caihua left, Aunt Ying wondered; "Who was that guy just now?"

Aunt Liao drained out the wheat dong in the wooden basin, and said helplessly: "My neighbor, Nuo, is called Wu Caihua who lives next to him, and he likes to go from house to house on weekdays, and he is a good person, but he has a lot of words every time, and he has a small belly and chicken intestines, anyway, you will know this person when you contact him." ”

Lin Zifu then told Aunt Ying about Wu Caihua's desire to follow the medicine collection.

Now Lin Zifu is in charge of all the big and small things in the family, which is also what Aunt Ying slowly changed after seeing Lin Zifu's skills.

She didn't have any opinion on this matter: "As long as it doesn't cause us trouble, just follow the medicine collection if you want to, they are all neighbors on the left and right, and it's nothing to take care of each other." ”

Lin Zifu thought about this as well, and hurriedly fetched water to wash Mai Dong.

Aunt Liao's family has two children, a son and a daughter, the son is called He Xiaobing, who is about fifteen years old this year, I heard that because the family is poor, he has not yet talked about suitable family affairs, and her daughter's name is He Xiaoyan, who is only ten years old this year.

However, Lin Zifu has been here for a while, and she hasn't seen the two of them yet.

"Auntie heard that you have two children, why haven't you seen them all this time." Lin Zifu was very curious, it stands to reason that she should be able to see the two of them for so long.

Aunt Liao sighed and said: "Xiaobing went to the county town to do short-term work, Xiaoyan went to work as a maid for a big family, it is also a short-term job, you can leave at any time, but the salary is not high, just let the two children go out to eat by themselves." ”

In the final analysis, it was all because the family was too poor, and it was a bit laborious to raise two children, plus the need for money to say goodbye to He Xiaobing, so he could only let He Xiaobing go out to do short-term work, and He Xiaoyan was personally asked by her to go, she found a large family with better people, and sent it to others to do short-term work, and there was no salary but three meals.

Lin Zifu was surprised, she suddenly thought of one thing, that is, it is rare to see young people in the village, so it is difficult to go to work as a short-term worker and maid?

I was very curious: "It's been so long since I came to the village, why haven't I seen other boys and girls in the village?" It's hard to do maids and short-term jobs for people, so I only saw He Yunhu. ”

Aunt Liao shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Our village is relatively remote, and the girls in other villages have to look at the place, and the place is married well but it is a matter of generations, plus our village is relatively poor, don't look at the fields, but it is only enough for the family to eat and clothe all year round, and if you want to save money, you can only go out to work, my two children are fine, just to do short-term work for others, because we don't ask them to make much money, but other children in the village are not so lucky, many girls have been sold, and they have to be eighteen years old before they can come out." ”

Lin Zifu understands this, most of the big families buy maids only until they are eighteen years old, after all, they can't trap other girls for a lifetime, and when they are eighteen years old, they can go home and marry after giving a little silver to redeem themselves.

"That's good, at least you can have something to eat, and you won't starve to death." She is actually quite envious of these girls, she can be free after the age of eighteen, think about Lin Youcai, a brute, directly sell her to the Zhou family to marry, if she meets a ruthless person, she will be buried alive directly.

In this era, don't mention any laws, the poor want to pay attention to fairness, hehe! It's really naïve.

This is an era of the jungle, you are poor, you have no ability and no power, you deserve to be bullied.

Children of poor families, even if they are killed, no one will come out to ask, it is nothing more than asking the rich family to ask for a little more silver.

Therefore, if you want to live brilliantly in this era, you can only rely on your own efforts to make money.

Lin Zifu figured out a lot of things, and sighed: "What about being a little servant for others?" ”

Aunt Liao sighed again: "You can redeem yourself when you are eighteen years old, if you don't want to redeem yourself, you can stay in the main house, if you meet a suitable maid, the two of them look at each other, and your parents and the main family agree that you can get married, but then you have to stay in the house for the rest of your life." ”
