Chapter Forty-Six: New Business and Sister-in-law Ji's Haunting
Su Xiu'er was stunned beside her.
It's the feeling that is most shocking.
How much are so many pears worth? Su Xiu'er glanced at Ji Miaomiao next to her again.
This is a blessing doll.
A few women and boys put pears in the back basket, and the back basket was full.
Immediately they went home.
No way, the back basket is full, and even if you find mushrooms, you can't fit it.
When they came home slowly, Ji Laosan and the others just put the wine aside, and when they saw their mother carrying so many things back, the three brothers were stunned.
"Mother, you guys went to the mountains again to carry so many things."
Ji Lao Er was stunned.
"Not really!" Mrs. Ji took the back basket on her back for her sons and poured a mouthful of water.
"Don't be idle, I think this pear is very sweet, it just so happens that you are also tired, take a pear and eat it."
Who doesn't like sweet pears?
So the Ji family held the pears in their hands and ate them with relish.
"Milk, this pear is so sweet. Eating it crunchy, the juice inside is so rich. Shijia's face was full of happiness, "I want to eat pears every day in the future." ”
"You kid thinks of good things all day." Mrs. Ji scolded with a smile, if it weren't for her little granddaughter, let alone eating pears, it would still be a question of whether she could eat enough.
"Hey, hey! Aren't the pears so delicious..."
The family laughed and laughed.
The Ji family is very happy, but there is one person who is not so happy.
This person is none other than Sister-in-law Ji who ran away when she fled the famine.
Sister-in-law Ji fled with the army, but she went in the wrong direction on the way, and the more she went, the more birds did not.
Fortunately, she was smart, turned around in advance, and relied on picking tree bark to eat Guanyin soil all the way, and it was easy to get to Lin'an County.
The bachelor man she was looking for had been killed while fighting for food, and now she was so sloppy that her clothes could no longer be seen in their original color, and she was covered in foul smell when she was close.
The officials dislike it.
At this time, most of the wastelanders basically went to the border villages to settle down, basically some small villages, big villages like Niutou Village, and they had to be bribed by the Ji family to the aborigines before they were eligible to enter.
Su Xiu'er completely relied on her own ingenuity.
There are fewer and fewer people at the gate of this city, and suddenly a sister-in-law Ji came.
Sister-in-law Ji is almost out of shape, with a sallow face, and looks similar to a woman in her forties and fifties. Her hands were as thin as peeled chicken feet, and she said weakly:
"Master Guan, it's okay, you just let me enter this city gate!"
"Where did the woman come from! As I said before, everyone has to pay a tael of silver when they enter the city! If you don't have money, don't talk about it. The official said impatiently.
Seeing that she was sloppy and smelly, she had a bad attitude.
Sister-in-law Ji suddenly cried out, "Master Guan, I beg you to do well." I've survived by eating tree bark and soil all the way, so let me go into the city! ”
The refugees who had not yet entered the city and had not settled next to them were also attracted and immediately pointed their fingers.
Seeing that she didn't eat oil and salt, the official picked up a big knife and made a gesture to intimidate.
Sister-in-law Ji screamed in fright and hid far away.
Because the smell of her body is too big, the other refugees don't like it and reject her.
Sister-in-law Ji leaned against the city wall, her hungry eyes dizzy.
She stared at the sky in a daze, her heart sour.
It was not easy for me to finally arrive in Lin'an City after all the hardships, and I didn't know where the Ji family was.
Although she had left them there before, she was not bad-hearted, she just wanted to live.
Sister-in-law Ji thought that if she could meet them again, she would definitely return to Boss Ji without hesitation.
Boss Ji is really good to himself, although he is not very good at coaxing people, he will not bully people.
She was hungry and had nothing to eat, so she could only rely on fantasy to support her will.
But this is all her own passion, and she doesn't want to think about what others want?
…
Brother Ji didn't know that Sister-in-law Ji hadn't died, and he had arrived in Lin'an County, and he was busy with another thing now.
Mrs. Ji is shrewd and very good at being a person, and she has always taken this matter to heart since she made a small profit from the village chief's daughter-in-law last time.
Even if they hadn't met a few times, they knew that the village chief's family attached great importance to Liu Yuexiang's belly, and this pregnant woman was the most greedy, so she specially sent her daughter-in-law to send a few pears over.
Liu Yuexiang is about to be full-term, and she has no appetite to eat every day, and when she sees the pears sent by the family this season, she is salivating, and her appetite is better after eating, and she can still use it to eat.
The village chief's family was very happy, and they were even more appreciative of the Ji family, and it happened that the children of the family in the next village were admitted to the children's preparation for the big office, and the pastries were originally handed over to the village chief's family, but the village chief's family was not able to handle it, so they pushed the boat down the river and gave the errand directly to the Ji family.
This next season, the family will be busy.
Fortunately, there is still some glutinous rice left from the previous purchase, and the men spend their days in the yard beating glutinous rice to make cakes, and the women boiling brown sugar.
As for the children, they will have a good mouth, and if the family is rich, they naturally can't treat the children badly, and if they have nothing to eat, Mrs. Ji will not say anything.
Even Ji Miaomiao was fed some brown sugar by her brothers.
Of course, these bear children were fed to her without the attention of adults.
Ji Miaomiao licked it, this sweet snorer, but her brothers all ate it with relish.
The cake over there was in a hurry, and Su Xiu'er was not idle to help.
The Ji family worked together, and the smell of food was emanated, and many neighbors were attracted over.
"Old sister of the Ji family, is your family starting to do big business again?"
Mrs. Zhang, the most well-informed in the village, was the first to ask.
Her eyes widened, didn't the village chief's family pick up the pastries wherever she usually needed? Could it be that this new family has any way?
Her eyes rolled.
Mrs. Ji is also shrewd and never deliberately conceals her relationship with the village chief's family.
When you first arrive, you naturally have to show a good relationship with the village chief's family, otherwise, you don't know how this group of people bullies your family.
"Old sister, what you say will torment us, it's all small business. Or a few days ago, my Erlang went up the mountain and found some wild fruits, thinking that the village chief's Yuexiang was not about to give birth? The fruit was not worth a few dollars, so I gave something away. ”
"The village chief's daughter-in-law happened to have a pastry list in her hand, but Yuexiang was inconvenient, so she gave it to us, and it was all taken care of by our village chief."
Mrs. Ji's words did not leak, and fell into the ears of the surrounding onlookers, that is, the relationship between the new family and the village chief's family is good.
What a precious thing this wild fruit is!
Now at this time, all the things that can be imported are good things, not to mention wild fruits, and Baba will send them to the village chief's daughter-in-law, who is so stingy with the village chief's daughter-in-law, and is willing to give the list directly to their family, but she still has some ability.
Many people who have bad ideas have slowly faded the thoughts in their hearts.
In Niutou Village, the village chief is the authority. This family has already won the favor of the village chief, and they naturally dare not make a mistake.
