Chapter 137 The convoy enters the village
Chapter 137: The convoy enters the village
The sun was still hot in the afternoon, Jiang Yan could clearly feel that she had tanned again, and Jiang Wen was obviously several degrees darker.
He had a forehead tie on his forehead to fix the ponytail that was tied up, but when he took it off now, the white square left by the forehead on his head was very obvious, making him look silly and funny.
Jiang Yan was amused by his funny appearance and laughed, which caused the young man Lang's face to turn red, and he was even more ashamed, and quickly tied his forehead back.
"Mother, don't go to the ground, you still have blisters on your hands, we'll do the rest." Lin Dong looked at his mother distressedly, he was coarse, he didn't see blisters on his mother's palms yesterday, and when he looked at it again today, he was already a little dry and wrinkled.
Jiang Wen also spoke: "My little aunt is resting on the ridge, I will work with my cousins, and I am familiar with it now." β
Jiang Yan's heart warmed, she was already tired and about to collapse, since she was a child, she really didn't do farm work, at most she helped pick up ears of rice in the field when she was a child, but she was not a person who would shout tired, so she never said much, and several children did more than her, she was even more embarrassed to say that she was tired, but she didn't expect to be comforted by them who were careful.
"Don't huddle around, finish cutting early and go to the threshing floor early, I'll just help move the paddy, it won't hurt your hands." After speaking, Jiang Yan's eyes fell on Jiang Wen: "Your hands are also injured, just follow me to carry rice." β
If it was shocking enough to send the shopkeeper's two carriages in and out of the village yesterday and caused the villagers to gossip for a night, then now he brought a convoy into the village to make a sensation, Rao is autumn harvest is busy, the villagers can't help but surround it, and follow back to the village from the distant fields.
All the tall horse carts lined up all the way to the door of Jiang Yan's house, and it was so neat that it was difficult for people not to pay attention.
When Jiang Yan's family was called back, they were still struggling to remove the threshing grains in the threshing floor, and the family covered their heads and faces tightly.
Lin Nan and a few brothers led the convoy to the cellar of the soap factory to carry wine, and one horse-drawn cart after another was loaded back and forth, and the onlookers pointed around the horses, and the discussion was loud and loud.
"Isn't this where we work? It turns out that the finished product of the things we make is like this, one jar after another, what is inside? β
"Lin Nan is so powerful, you see that he is not afraid to talk to the leader, the leader looks very fierce, if it were me, I wouldn't dare to talk to him."
"I heard that it is the shopkeeper of the town, so many things, the Lin family is going to make a fortune this time!"
"Aunt Jiang is famous now, in our villages, who can do business with the town, the landlords in the next village don't have this pomp, or people come to pull the goods themselves."
Among the crowd of onlookers, there are envy and jealousy, and the people in the village are watching the Lin family step by step to get to where they are today, especially the dozen or so workers who work in the soap factory, thinking that the wine is made by them, and they hold their heads high one by one, eager to let everyone know.
"Lin Nan is good, working at his house is better than going to the town, these days of autumn harvest, and give us a holiday, saying that we can continue to work after the autumn harvest."
"Yes, this job, the money is close to home, and I am not tired of doing things every day, I hope I can continue to do it forever, and I will work for a lifetime, and my family may be able to build a brick house."
"If the Lin family doesn't dismiss me, I won't leave!"
"Yes, I'm young and motivated, and I'm not afraid of the low salary of the Lin family, the Lin family must like a guy like me, as long as it's close to home!"
"yes, yes......"
There was a lot of talk in the crowd, only the old house of the Lin family hiding in the crowd was full of anger, eager to strangle those people, obviously they were the closest people, why did they benefit at all.
Lin Wenhan was even more angry with his hands tightly twisted together, he was now behind the crowd, his face was unconcealed malice, even Jiang Wen followed his aunt's family as much as possible, but the relationship between him and his aunt was getting worse and worse, these few meetings, the aunt even pretended not to see him, and things at home were also messy, thinking that Jiang Wen was in his aunt's house, and he couldn't even eat brown rice at home, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he wanted to strangle Jiang Wen, all of this should have belonged to him alone.
"Cousin, you came just in time today, Aunt Jiang's family in our village is very powerful now, you see so many carriages, they are all here to pull goods, I heard that Aunt Jiang has cooperated with the town in a big business, and she also took our village to make money." A little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old in the village said with great interest, her eyes were shining, and her eyes were adoring when she looked at the carriage.
The one she called her cousin was Liu Xiaoyue, who came to Linjia Village to visit relatives, her jealous face was distorted, and her eyes were wide-eyed. What she looked at was not someone else, but Liu Xiaomeng, who was dressed in new clothes and had a red face.
Since the family got rich, Jiang Yan bought a lot of fabrics and came back, but everyone in the family was very busy, and the two daughters-in-law followed the stall every day, and there was no time to make clothes, so Jiang Yan had to buy two ready-to-wear clothes each.
Liu Xiaomeng is wearing a newly bought ready-to-wear today, she was alone when she came to Lin's house, and the patched clothes on her body had long been used by Jiang Yan as a material for igniting fire, so all her clothes now are brand new clothes, especially the hairpin sent by Lin Nan on her head.
The hairpin generally represents the wife's thing, which is a kind of love token, the hairpin sent by Lin Nan is just an ordinary small silver hairpin, which is not brilliant in the farmer's house, the style is very simple, and ordinary people will not find it eye-catching, but Liu Xiaoyue can see it at a glance.
"Slut! Obviously those things are mine! That shameless slut! Obviously, I should marry into the Lin family, marry Lin Nan, those new clothes and jewelry should be mine! β
"That silver hairpin should be mine, she doesn't deserve that kind of thing at all!"
Liu Xiaoyue's tone was gloomy, her pretty little face was full of anger, and she unconsciously used her strength in her hands, and the girl she was holding screamed.
"Cousin! You're pinching me, what are you doing, it hurts. The girl's name is Lin Sansan, she struggled to shake off Liu Xiaoyue's hand, looked at her arm that was pinched and almost broken, she couldn't hold back for a while, and tears of pain fell straight down.
Liu Xiaoyue didn't seem to realize it, but her eyes looked straight at Lin Nan like a ghost, her voice was weird like a bone appendage, and she gritted her teeth: "Lin Nan, fiancΓ©, why didn't I find out that he was so good at making money before, but he was not ugly, he was much more handsome than before, in this case... It's absolutely impossible to give up to Liu Xiaomeng's slut! I can't let that slut live better than me! β
Liu Xiaoyue's heart trembled with hatred, and in her clenched fists, her nails were deep in the flesh, as if there were blood stains, but she didn't realize it, ignoring Lin Sansan's shouts, and left Linjia Village without looking back.
