021 Obsession
"Tian Lao Wu, you are a seedless, look at what life I have lived after marrying you. If you don't have enough food and clothing, your mother will be laughed at and killed in your Tianjia Village. You said it yourself, can you blame me if you can't give birth to a son, it's all because your Tian Lao Wu is useless, you didn't plant! Wang scolded and went back to the room, and fell asleep. Tian Lao Wu was scolded by the Wang family, and his head was so hated that he had to lower his head to the ground.
"Dad, don't take your mother's words to heart, she just has fire in her heart, just let her say it." Tian Lao's fifty-one-year-old little girl cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and got out of the kitchen, and then squatted down to Tian Laowu's side and comforted softly. This is Tian Lao Wu and Wang's only daughter, named Xiu'er, but even so, Wang has never given her a good look on weekdays. It's just because the Wang family thinks that her daughter is a money-losing product, she is raised by someone else's family, and she will marry someone else's family in the future.
"Hey, hey, dad knows, knows." Tian Lao Wu loves his only daughter very much, but he is clumsy, and in the face of his daughter's intimate comfort, he can only respond with a stack of sighs, but he can't say anything else.
Xiu'er also knew her father's temperament, so she didn't say anything more, went back to the room and took the sewing basket out to accompany Tian Lao Wu to sit in the yard and do needlework. Tian Lao Wu looked at the intimacy of his daughter beside him, squinted his eyes comfortably, and raised the corners of his mouth when he looked at the floating clouds in the sky.
What happened next door Mu Qing naturally didn't know. When she woke up and took a nap, Little Stone came to the door. After he went home today, he told Tian Laosan about Mu Qing's desire to sell herbs, and Tian Laosan gave him a letter after lunch.
Because it is common, it does not belong to any special medicinal materials, so it is very low in terms of price. A pound plus leaves and branches is only two pennies. But if it is sun-dried, it is five cents a pound. But fortunately, because of the cheap price of this thing, the demand is also large, and it will be used in many recipes when dispensing, and the leaves can also be made into tea and tea cakes for sale, which is another entry. Xiaoshi inquired clearly, if Mu Qing wanted to pick this and sell it, he didn't need to dry it, just cut it off and bundle it and take it to the pharmacy. Mu Qing thought about it in her heart for a long time, and felt that although she would sell it for three yuan after drying, first, she had no place to dry, and secondly, she didn't know how much was left after a pound of wet drying. So as soon as he heard Xiaoshi say that it could be sold wet, Mu Qing's mind immediately moved.
In the morning, she went to Grandma Chunhua's and already knew that the town would not be held until a few days away, and before that, she could take advantage of this time to transport the silver pill grass to the pharmacy twice.
Just do it, made up your mind, Mu Qing took the sickle and rope and took the small stone and Tian Laibao to the foot of the mountain.
The three of them were busy all afternoon, but they only cut two small bundles. Mu Qing was a little discouraged, but looking at the sweaty little stone and Tian Laibao, who simply went on strike, he still announced the call it a day. But looking at the silver pill grass bundled in front of him, Mu Qing had new troubles. How is she going to get this thing home? Also, what should I do after being transported home so that I won't be discovered by Tian Jizu?
"Auntie, why don't you transport the silver pill grass to the official road, and when Grandma Chunhua's ox cart arrives at that place tomorrow, you can drag it out, and follow it directly to the town, and we will drag it home." Xiao Shi looked at the silver dancao in front of him and was also a little worried, and then looked at the sun that was already setting in the west, and he couldn't help but get anxious. Suddenly, seeing the official road leading through the town, Xiao Shi suddenly had an idea in his heart, and he couldn't wait to propose.
Listening to Xiaoshi's proposal, Mu Qing's eyes lit up, yes, why didn't she think of it. It's much closer to the official road than home. The most important thing is that as long as she hides these gold and silver grasses, she will not be discovered by Tian Jizu and the Chen family. When she saves money in the future, it will be difficult for them to control her!
There is food in the stomach, and there is no panic in the heart! Mu Qing felt that her current psychology was also a bit like this, as if she felt that as long as she had money in her hand, she would not panic about doing anything again.
After two trips, Mu Qing finally successfully hid the two bundles of silver pill grass in the field next to the official road. Clapping his hands, Mu Qing seemed to see countless pieces of silver flying towards him, and the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be suppressed.
Xiao Shi looked at Mu Qing grinning, and only felt that she was a little stupid! I don't know what kind of life she used to live, but she was happy to be like this with just a few copper plates. Xiaoshi shook his head, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. Well, it's a good feeling to make your own money!
Tian Laibao is the youngest and the most realistic. As soon as he heard Mu Qing say that these grasses could be exchanged for money, he came to the spirit, and he said that he wanted to buy delicious food for a while, and he wanted to buy fun things for a while, and then he changed his words and said that he wanted to save all the money and build a beautiful big house to live with his mother in the future. Mu Qing listened to his childish words with a smile, and her mood was better than ever.
This good mood was maintained until the moment she went home, listening to the familiar Chen scolding in the small courtyard, Mu Qing's original good mood suddenly disappeared. His face suddenly fell, and he entered the small courtyard with a calm face. Tian Jizu poked his head out of the room when he heard the movement, and the shouting and scolding of the Chen family in the upper room stopped.
"Sister-in-law is back. You and Noble must have eaten out when you came back so late. You see I'm not asking nonsense, you must have eaten out, otherwise how could you come back so late. Tian Jizu's insinuation made Mu Qing angry.
Looking up at the still bright sky, Mu Qing said with a smile: "Tian Jizu, don't you have bad eyes?" It's not dark yet, so why are you talking nonsense? I heard that those who participate in the township examination or something have to take the exam overnight, and the exam will take several days, Tian Jizu, your eyes are so bad, don't waste that effort. ”
"Noble, come in!" Tian Jizu was about to say more, but the Chen family in the room interrupted him. Tian Laibao looked up at Mu Qing, then at Tian Jizu, and looked at Tian Jizu for a long time before he said to Tian Jizu with a flattering expression: "Uncle, you can't bully your mother, your mother is a woman, and a man must protect a woman." ”
Tian Jizu's face flushed when Tian Laibao's words were said, and Mu Qing laughed out loud. This was a sentence she inadvertently taught Tian Laibao, but she didn't expect the little guy to remember it so clearly. Squatted down and smiled and pinched Tian Laibao's face, pushed his body, and motioned him to go to the house. Tian Laibao ran into the house with a stumbling stare at this time.
