Chapter Thirty-Seven: Selling Miserably

Xiao Hong thought to herself, there are not many drinks on the market now, of course you think it is delicious.

When she took a sip, she also felt that it tasted really good, so she took a bottle for her stepfather and mother: "Uncle, Mom, don't be reluctant, let's drink together." ”

If Xiao Hong hadn't inserted all the straws in, Wu Julan would really be reluctant to drink them.

Because they are also used to it, and there are good things to leave for the little ones to eat.

The eldest daughter is so caring, which makes Wu Julan's heart as sweet as drinking honey.

Their family is harmonious, but Zhao's second sister-in-law is full of thoughts.

They have two sons in their family, and they are said to be descendants of the family, and the sons who are at the top of the family can stand tall and straight.

What's more, the four brothers of the Zhao family, the old family are one son and two daughters, and now their son is still in junior high school.

His two sons are older, the eldest son followed his son to learn carpenter, and the second son also studied in the second year of high school.

The third child was lame and didn't even marry a wife, the fourth child only had one biological daughter, and the remaining two daughters were all oil bottles.

It is said that they are the most prosperous in their family.

But now that the eldest son is ready to marry a daughter-in-law, she can't laugh.

The village is the innermost part of the mountain, the transportation is inconvenient, the young girls want to get married, and the men want to marry their daughters-in-law, so they have to give the bride price.

She also found a few suitable partners for her son, and finally took a fancy to Shen Yuhong in Qiancun, but people asked for a bride price of 300 yuan and a new house.

This is not a small amount of money, you must know that Zhao Laoer, the master who is a carpenter, is only five yuan a day now?

And Zhao Lao Er can't find a job every day.

What's more, the new house now, even if it is not a red brick house, cannot be built without three hundred.

They are a family of four, farming to raise chickens, ducks, and pigs, plus the carpenter's salary that their father and son receive from time to time, at most five or six hundred yuan a year.

But the family's food, drink, and clothing, as well as the youngest son studying, and the filial piety of both parents, and the relationship between people, it is good to have two hundred left all year round.

What's more, a few years ago, the family was not separated, and the family's money was used up by the third child for medical treatment, and now they only have more than 600 yuan in their hands.

She originally wanted her son to change objects, but the boss was very satisfied with Shen Yuhong, and said that he would work hard for two more years before proposing marriage.

But at this time, the future mother-in-law privately pointed out a way for her: "Your brother and daughter-in-law's family sells lo-mei very profitable, and a few cents a pound of pigs are bought in the water to marinate, and they are sold for a pound of money." ”

"We don't need money for firewood in the countryside, it's just the cost of buying some waste material and pig water, you go for me to see what kind of spice they use, if you teach me, then the new house doesn't need to be built, and the bride price can be less than a hundred."

Zhao's second sister-in-law was also moved.

Although this is sorry for the fourth family, it can save the family a few hundred yuan.

Therefore, in the past few days, she often goes to the fourth child's house, and sometimes she sees them washing pigs and going into the water, and she will also help.

Yesterday they made a pig's head, and she also burned the straw to burn the pig's head and burn the fine hair, and I don't know how their business is today?

And this morning, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in their house, they quietly took a spice bag wrapped in gauze and sent it to the Shen family, I don't know if the fourth family will know?

If they don't sell pigs in the water in the future, that's fine, and you don't have to feel sorry for them, it's they who don't do this business themselves.

The more she thought about it, the more upset she became, so she simply went to the fourth child's house.

Wu Julan was picking beans at the door, and when she saw her coming, she greeted with a smile: "Second sister-in-law, sit down, I picked a lot of beans, you have to take them." ”

In the countryside, at this time, beans, eggplants, gourds, loofahs or something, there are many vegetables, especially this long beans, it is too late to eat, many people will take advantage of the good weather to dry, and wait until the winter stew to eat, that is a good dish.

"No need, I just heard that Xiao Hong is not feeling well, come and ask her if she is better?"

"It's much better," Wu Julan used to be in the concubine room, which was the existence at the bottom.

Especially this second sister-in-law, who gave birth to two sons, sometimes mocked her with a gun and a stick.

Wu Julan took Xiao Fang to marry Zhao Laosi, and later only gave birth to Yanyan and did not give birth to a son, and she also felt that she couldn't live with the Zhao family, so she just endured it and didn't dare to talk back to her second sister-in-law.

Now that the second sister-in-law is close to her own family, of course she is very happy, and she said very generously: "Second sister-in-law, we will not do pig water business in the future, we should make braised pig heads and pig trotters, and I will give you some to try tomorrow." ”

You must know that although their family is in the business of lo-mei, she is willing to keep some for herself.

Zhao's second sister-in-law pretended to be curious and asked, "Why don't you sell pigs and go into the water?" ”

Even if the second sister-in-law is good to their family now, Wu Julan doesn't want her to know that her two daughters almost had an accident.

After all, the second sister-in-law's mouth is not tight, if it is spread by adding fuel and vinegar, even if her two daughters have nothing to do, who knows what will happen.

When the time comes, it will affect his two daughters to find a partner.

She also won't say that the sound of pigs going into the water was robbed, and it seems that they are incompetent.

Wu Julan said very nicely: "Xiao Hong thinks it's too troublesome to wash the pigs in the water, and when they go to school, I can't be busy, so it's better to braise the pig's head and pig's trotters to save trouble." ”

"Yes," Second Sister-in-law Zhao really believed her words, and her heart suddenly became sour, even if she didn't know how much money they earned, but she saw that their family had been eating very well recently, and her complexion was much better.

What's more, if you don't make money, how can you be willing to send bowls of braised vegetables to your in-laws' family and your brother's family every now and then?

At this moment, Zhao's second sister-in-law moved in her heart, and said quickly: "We are all a family, if you are troublesome to get the pig into the water, then let me get the pig into the water, okay?" Do you want you to teach me how to do it? ”

Wu Julan looked at her in shock: "This, this..."

Of course she didn't want to.

Now, in addition to being able to serve a public job after graduating from university, whether you want to learn carpenter or mason, you have to learn from a teacher.

Even if they don't do the pig water business now, then she is reluctant to teach her just like that.

Zhao's second sister-in-law looked eager: "You also know that Junying is looking for a partner, and our family really doesn't have much money, so you can promise me?" ”

Xiao Hong, who came down from upstairs, happened to hear this, she rolled her eyes silently, she really didn't know that this second aunt would be so cheeky and didn't give any benefits, so she wanted to empty the gloves of the white wolf.

My mother didn't want to refuse, she didn't want to be wronged, so she said with a smile: "Second aunt, it's not that we don't want to do the business of pigs going into the water, but there are only two meat stalls in the town, and others are also jealous of our business, so they robbed the pigs in the water, and we have no choice but to change careers." ”

After speaking, she sighed worriedly: "As far as this pig's head meat business is concerned, I don't know how many days it can be done, who knows if they will come to grab it from us." ”

Xiao Hong is very good at selling miserably: "They are from the town, and they know a lot of people, so we can only suffer this dumb loss!" ”
