"These shoes are carefully made by the old people in the family, they are made of good fabrics, and they can be worn for ......a long time," Jin Xiaoshu introduced the shoes to those who worked as coolies.

It's hard to work on the docks, and those who occasionally come to do odd jobs are just that, and most of the people who work here all the year round are men who don't have land at home, and most of them don't have wives and children.

Even so, naturally no one makes shoes for them, and the shoes they wear on weekdays are all bought.

The shoes that Jin Xiaoshu brought were really good, and they were sold out quickly. "Little tree!" Jin Xiaoye shouted.

"Sister!" Jin Xiaoshu rocked the boat over, "Sister, where are you going?" ”

"I'm going to buy fabrics, Xiaoshu, you can help me move some goods."

"Okay." Jin Xiaoshu agreed without thinking about it.

Jin Xiaoshu didn't sleep well last night, and he was a little out of energy today, but he was a young man in the end, and he had eaten well with Jin Xiaoye in the past few months, and he was much faster than Jin Xiaoye and Sister Wang when he moved the fabric.

Jin Xiaoye already had experience, so she quickly bought the fabric and went back, and asked Jin Xiaoshu to help her move the fabric to Sister Wang's house.

Jin Xiaoshu's movements froze.

After Fang Jinniang didn't give him a single look yesterday, he didn't dare to send anything to Fang Jinniang this morning, for fear that Fang Jinniang wouldn't want it.

He didn't even want to make money anymore, he felt that no matter what he did, he was bored, and he especially wanted to see Fang Jinniang.

If he goes to Sister Wang's side now, he will definitely see Fang Jinniang, right?

Jin Xiaoshu thought about it, but he still planned to meet him.

Anyway, Fang Jinniang doesn't like him, he broke the jar and broke it!

After the boat stopped near Sister Wang's house, Jin Xiaoshu began to help carry the fabric.

Sister Wang hugged a piece of cloth and followed behind Jin Xiaoshu, and when she arrived at her house, she couldn't help but say, "Xiaoshu, you have so much strength." At this moment, Jin Xiaoshu is still walking like flying with four pieces of cloth.

"Hmm." Jin Xiaoshu replied roughly.

Fang Jinniang knew that Jin Xiaoye had a younger brother, and when she heard Sister Wang's words and saw a figure again, she looked up at the other party and smiled at the other party.

Jin Xiaoshu only felt a burst of numbness from the tail vertebrae to the Tianling Gai.

Fang Jinniang smiled at him, and she smiled so good!

Yesterday I ignored him, why are you smiling at him again today?

Because he carried four pieces of cloth at once?

Jin Xiaoshu felt that the whole person was a little floating, and he walked quickly to the boat, trying to carry six pieces of cloth at a time.

He can carry it, but his hands can't grasp six pieces of cloth, and Jin Xiaoshu can only carry four horses, but his speed of moving goods is so fast that he almost has to run.

Wait, steady focus, can't run!

Jin Xiaoshu helped put the cloth at Sister Wang's house, and saw Fang Jinniang smiling at him again.

Fang Jinniang's eyes are not good at seeing people clearly, so she is always said to be rude...... She doesn't smile at everyone who walks by when she walks on the street, but she works at Sister Wang's house on weekdays, and when someone comes, she will smile and smile, which is counted as a greeting.

Jin Xiaoshu was excited, and after moving the fabric, he saw that there was some firewood in front of Sister Wang's house, and he picked up the axe to help chop the wood.

Although he is young, he has been a little taller and stronger in the past few months, and in Miaoqian Village, he is considered tall and strong!

He's already a man!

Jin Xiaoye didn't stop when she saw Jin Xiaoshu chopping firewood, Sister Wang's two sons were still young, and they were not used to working in the city, and Sister Wang's firewood was chopped by Sister Wang before.

Sister Wang rarely does heavy work, and chopping firewood is very hard for her.

In the past, when Jin Xiaoye brought something to the county seat to sell to her, she would help her chop firewood, and recently she would also chop, but now let Jin Xiaoshu do it, saving her trouble.

Sister Wang was a little embarrassed when she saw this, and said to Jin Xiaoye: "Hey, why did Xiaoshu still chop firewood?" How embarrassing this is......"

"It's okay," Jin Xiaoye smiled, and said to Jin Xiaoshu again, "Xiaoshu, wait a minute, you take the bucket and go to the alley to carry a few buckets of water!" "Chongcheng County is full of rivers, and Sister Wang's house is next to the river.

On weekdays, everyone washes clothes and vegetables by the river, but when it comes to drinking water, it is still well water.

However, not every household has a well, and everyone usually goes to the public well in the city to carry water to drink.

"Hmm!" Jin Xiaoshu answered, and went with a bucket of water.

"Xiao Ye, your brother is so diligent!" The more Sister Wang looks at Jin Xiaoshu, the more she likes it.

She used to think that Jin Xiaoshu was a countryman, and her daughter would suffer if she married Jin Xiaoshu, but now look at it......

Jin Xiaoshu is so diligent, if her daughter marries Jin Xiaoshu, someone will help her do a lot of work in the family.

And the Jin family is somewhat landed, and Jin Xiaoshu can also support boats and sell goods...... Forget it, it's still small, let's wait and see.

"He was diligent when he was young." Jin Xiaoye said with a smile.

In Miaoqian Village, lazy people are pampered and pampered, and her father and mother are very good to them, but the Jin family is not her father and mother, and she and Jin Xiaoshu naturally do not have the lazy treatment of the golden willow tree and the golden jujube tree. Fang Jinniang couldn't help but say when she heard this: "Shopkeeper Jin, your brother is so good." "Her brother doesn't work at home, and her mother wants her brother to study hard and be admitted to Xiucai, and never lets his brother do any work.

Jin Xiaoshu, who came back from fetching water: "!! "Fang Jinniang praised him!

Sister Wang's family only had to chop wood and carry water, and after Jin Xiaoshu finished the work, there was no work to do, so he could only leave reluctantly.

But he immediately went to buy a pack of fried chestnuts, planning to give them to Fang Jinniang tomorrow.

Although I don't know what happened yesterday, Fang Jinniang obviously doesn't hate him!

When Jin Xiaoye went home that day, he saw Jin Xiaoshu rowing a boat and singing: "The flowers are dressed in long braids, and the girls in the water town are so good-looking......"

"Stop, stop, what are you singing?" Jin Xiaoye shouted to stop, this

Songs are sung by men to the women they like!

Jin Xiaoshu suddenly realized that there were only him and Jin Xiaoye on the boat, so he definitely couldn't sing this song, so he changed the song to sing: "A chicken in the left hand, a duck in the right hand, and a fat doll on his back......"

Jin Xiaoye: "......" her brother's brain was knocked out! This is the little daughter-in-law singing when she goes back to her parents' house!

"The girl you like, reconciled with you?" Jin Xiaoye asked.

Jin Xiaoshu nodded again and again.

No wonder...... Jin Xiaoye said: "Even if you want to sing, can you sing something normal?" ”

"Sister, I'll do this, my mother used to sing this to make me sleep." Jin Xiaoshu is aggrieved, there are only a few songs he can sing.

"Forget it, you can sing." After Jin Xiaoye finished speaking, he went directly into the cabin.

Without Jin Xiaoye in front of him, Jin Xiaoshu continued to sing "Flower Clothes with Long Braids", he felt that this was Fang Jinniang.

On the other side, when Fang Jinniang returned home, she gave Fang's mother five coins of silver.

Mother Fang's face softened a little when she saw the five coins of silver, but she said, "This is too little!" A lot of people earn more than one or two. ”

Fang Jinniang said: "Mother, my eyes are not good, and I am slow to work. ”

"Then they have other work to do, and they can't do it all day!" Fang Mu Dao.

"I eat there, and I also ask for money." Fang Jinniang explained.

"Then why are you eating there? Eat less and don't starve. ”

Fang Jinniang's heart was cold for a while.

It is true that she will not starve to death if she eats one less meal, but she drinks some clear soup porridge at home, and eats this twice a day, even if she does not starve to death, she will not be able to do work.

Forget it, Fang's mother said again: "By the way, Jin Niang, my mother told you a family matter, the old man who chartered the boat wanted to marry you as a concubine, and he was willing to pay sixty taels of silver......

"Mother!" Fang Jinniang looked at her mother in disbelief.

Although she doesn't go out much, she has been working at Sister Wang's side recently and has heard a lot of things.

Master Wang, who rented the boat, she had heard of it, this person lived not far from Sister Wang's house, and he was also a little related to Sister Wang's mother's family, and Sister Wang knew a lot of things about him.

In the county seat, there are many rich people who take concubines.

Some men take concubines, and they are not bad for concubines, such as Li Xiucai, his two concubines are from the countryside, and their families are quite poor, although they are not rich and noble after marrying Li Xiucai, and they still have a lot of work to do, but at least they can eat enough and not be hungry, they can eat meat and have new clothes to wear, and even their children are also well raised, they are actually quite happy.

But there are also some men, after marrying a concubine and coming back, they treat others badly at all, so they will be called by their subordinates.

When the concubine is old, she will drive people out.

This old man Wang is the latter, and he drove away the concubines who had no children and no daughters.

His wife's temper is not very good, because she is afraid that the child born by the concubine will rob the family property, and if the concubine brought home by Master Wang is pregnant with a child, she will give medicine.

A few years ago, one of Mr. Wang's concubines died of hemorrhage from taking abortion pills.

That concubine, like Li Qingzhi, fled to Chongcheng County after a disaster in her hometown, and her father and mother left Chongcheng County after selling her to Master Wang, she had no relatives and no reason here, and no one said a word to her after she died.

Fang Jinniang felt that if she married Master Wang, she might end up like this!

If she dies, her mother will definitely make a fuss, but when Master Wang gives some money, her mother will stop, right?

And...... Master Wang is almost fifty years old, and that's an old man.

Her mother actually wanted to sell her to such a person as a concubine?

Fang Jinniang only felt chills all over her body.

Fang's mother said: "Master Wang can take a fancy to you is your blessing, he does not dislike your bad eyes, and is willing to spend a lot of money to marry you......"

If Fang Jinniang could still make a lot of money, Fang's mother would be reluctant to marry her.

But Fang Jinniang can't make a lot of money now, and her eyes are getting worse and worse!

If Fang Jinniang is completely blind one day, who will want to marry her? That's going to be a smash in your hands!

Fang's mother actually had the idea of marrying Fang Jinniang for a long time, but she rejected many people before, and now no one has come to kiss, and occasionally she is willing to give a bride price of ten taels of silver at most.

Then she must not want to!

If she wants to take the initiative to find Fang Jinniang's in-laws, she doesn't want to, she is a talented lady, how can she take the initiative to find her daughter's in-laws?

It's also a coincidence, recently Fang Jinniang went to Sister Wang's side to work, and when she went back and forth, she was looked down on by Master Wang!

At first, Master Wang was only willing to spend fifty taels of silver to marry Fang Jinniang, but she asked the matchmaker to talk back and forth several times before adding it to sixty taels.

"I'm not married." Fang Jinniang said.

"I told Master Wang, you have to marry if you don't marry!" Fang Mu spoke angrily.

Fang Jinniang gritted her teeth, but her upper and lower teeth were still fighting, and she slowed down before she said, "Don't you care about reputation very much?" Marry me to someone else as a concubine, aren't you afraid that others will say that you sell your daughter? ”

Fang's mother said: "You are so old, I found you a good family, what are you not satisfied with?" ”

Fang Jinniang didn't know how to go back to the room or how to sleep that night.
