5 Chapter 5

Lu Caimei said this mainly to comfort him, Ruan Yimian understood in his heart, but what his brother said about "better people" was not a joke.

Ruan Yiwen hoped that his younger brother could marry his good brother Huo Aowu in his last life, so this "better person", Bacheng said Huo Aowu.

Huo Aowu is also from Shanliu Village, but he was called up to join the army at the age of eighteen, and Ruan Yimian has not seen him for four years.

Huo Aowu's father and mother died one after another when he was thirteen years old, and he was the only child in his family, and after his father and mother died, he was alone.

Fortunately, his father and mother had a good relationship during their lifetime, and his family was a relative of the village chief's family who did not produce five suits, so no one in the village dared to bully him.

Huo Aowu himself is also a capable person, not only is he tall and long, he has brute strength, but he has also learned his father's hunting craft ten out of ten, and when he goes up the mountain to hunt and rarely returns empty-handed, he is even more powerful than many old hunters in the village.

He will be able to support himself, and his life will be no worse than that of others.

Because he has a good relationship with Ruan Yiwen, Ruan Dexian and Lu Caimei also take great care of him.

It is easy to tear his clothes when he hunts in the mountains, and he can't do needlework, so Lu Caimei took over this job and helped him take care of his clothes and shoes properly.

He lacked a bench at home, a table or something, so he didn't need to speak, Ruan Dexian helped him make it.

He was also a grateful person, and every time he came back from hunting, he would send something to the Ruan family, sometimes a pheasant, sometimes a hare.

At that time, everyone in the village was poor, and the Ruan family was no exception, not only could not afford to eat meat, but only Ruan Yimian was the only one who could completely eat enough.

Huo Aowu sent the prey over every once in a while, and Lu Caimei did not shirk it, but often asked Ruan Yiwen to call him to come to the house for dinner.

As long as he doesn't go up the mountain, Huo Aowu eats at least one of his two meals a day at Ruan's house.

These things sent by Huo Aowu have greatly improved the food level of the Ruan family, and Ruan Yimian will be extremely happy every time he sees him, and treat him a little closer than others.

Because of his fierce face and the fact that he is much taller than his peers, Huo Aowu is not very popular with children. His peers adored him, and those who were a few years younger than him were afraid of him, only Ruan Yimian would affectionately call him "brother" when he saw him.

Ruan Yimian was raised by his father and mother a little squeamish because of illness when he was young, and there was some "extra pity", if Huo Aowu brought a beautiful rabbit, then he couldn't bear to eat it.

His brother disliked him a little because of this, but Huo Aowu kept indulging him, if he caught a beautiful little rabbit, he would bring it back to Ruan Yimian to raise, and choose those ugly rabbits for them to eat.

Later, those little rabbits were secretly sold by his brother to catch medicine for him, and Ruan Yimian cried silently for a long time after knowing about it.

Huo Aowu saw him crying and left with a stiff face, Ruan Yimian thought he was angry, but later learned that his eldest brother Huo walked for two hours under the scorching sun and went to the town to buy him soufflé.

When Huo Aowu came back that day, it was dark.

Shanliu Village is in the mountains, it is not safe to go outside at night, and the people in the village do not go out of the village much after the sun sets, Huo Aowu has not returned for a long time, and the Ruan family has been worried for a long time.

After he came back, Ruan Yiwen lost his temper and ignored him and Ruan Yimian for two days.

In fact, Huo Aowu treated him well, Ruan Yimian knew it in his heart, he felt that Huo Aowu's kindness was to repay his father's care, to take care of his brother's younger brother out of righteousness, and to pity him for his young age and weak body.

But Ruan Yiwen doesn't think so.

Ruan Yiwen seemed to have an obsession, and he hoped that he would be with Huo Aowu.

More than ten years after he died in the previous life, Huo Aowu avenged him, and Ruan Yiwen came to his grave and talked about it again.

Ruan Yiwen brought a pot of wine and Ruan Yimian's favorite almond soufflé. As he spoke, he drank wine and ate two of his brother's sacrifices.

"The Jiang family's hatred, Brother Huo has already helped you avenge it, Mianmian, you and your father and mother can rest in peace."

"The taste of the family is ruined, their Jiang family has finally tasted it, and it is not in vain that your brother and I curse them every day and night......"

Ruan Yiwen drank cup after cup, and soon got drunk, and his speech was a little incoherent.

"I don't know if you and your parents are together, if you are not together, what can you do if there is a little ghost bullying you below......"

He put his forehead against his brother's tombstone and whispered, "Mianmian, if only you had married Huo Aowu, if only everything could be done all over again......"

Ruan Yimian was trapped in his own graveyard not long after he was buried, and he couldn't leave, and there was no ghost to take him to reincarnation.

Maybe Ruan Yiwen was too obsessed, after he said these words, Ruan Yimian lost consciousness, and when he came to his senses again, he returned to before marrying into the Jiang family.

Ruan Yimian still remembered that Huo Aowu came back not long after he got married in the dream, but after he came back, he only stayed in Shanliu Village for about ten days before leaving again, and I heard that he went to find his comrades-in-arms. So later, when he heard his brother say that Huo Aowu had avenged him, Ruan Yimian was still a little surprised.

I don't know how long Huo Aowu will stay when he comes back this time?

Ruan Yimian remembered the scene when his mother made fun of him, and remembered what his brother said in front of his grave in his previous life, and his mood was a little complicated.

His brother hoped that he would marry Huo Aowu, and when Huo Aowu came back, his father and mother might also have this thought.

But he really regarded others as his brother in the past, and Huo Aowu shouldn't have that meaning to him. Otherwise, why did he have to go to the army when he had a choice, and there was no news for so many years after he went.

Most of the little brothers in the village got married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and if Huo Aowu was interested in him, he would never disappear without a trace at the age when he said he was married.

Ruan Yimian sighed faintly, feeling a little sad in his heart, and he didn't know if when Huo Aowu came back, would his brother take it upon himself to match the two of them? Brother Huo was kind to their family, and Ruan Yimian really didn't want to embarrass him.

However, there are still two or three months before Huo Aowu comes back, and now it is a mediocrity to think so much, so it is better to plan well and how to make money.

Hurry up to make money to improve your family situation and cure your own illness is the right thing, in addition, you have to plan ahead to save Lin Qiu.

His family affairs are already different from his previous life, I don't know if these changes will affect other things, it would not be good if Jiang Guangqian sold Lin Qiu in advance.

*

Lin Qiu's family is in the rouge business, and the craftsmanship is very good, and the business has been very big in the early years, and three rouge shops have been opened in Wenshui Fucheng. But when he was fifteen years old, there was an accident in the family, and he was entrusted by his father to his aunt Lin, and he has been living in the Jiang family ever since.

After Ruan Yimian got married, she accidentally made friends with him, and later learned many inhumane secrets of the Jiang family from him

- Jiang Guangqian was actually the outer chamber of the prefect of Wenshui Fucheng, and the Lin family married the Lin family to Jiang Guangqian in order to please the prefect;

- The Jiang family moved far away from Wenshui and came to their "poor country" because the prefect had committed an accident and the whole family was exiled;

- Jiang Guangqian's mother is just a girl in the fence, his identity as the "son of the prefect" has never seen the light, he has always wanted to "recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors" but he has never even entered the door of the prefect's house. It is for this reason that their family survived after being imprisoned by the prefect;

- They moved here to avoid disaster and to start over......

In the first two years, the Jiang family leaned against the big tree to enjoy the shade, and they didn't care about raising more nephews, but the backstage of the Jiang family fell, and Jiang Guangqian, who had always been eager to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, was extremely disappointed and attributed everything to Lin Qiu.

He said that Lin Qiu is a broom star, and wherever Lin Qiu is, there will be misfortune flying in whichever family, the Lin family is like this, and his family is the same.

The Lin family originally had pity for Lin Qiu, but Jiang Guangqian picked his nose and eyes at Lin Qiu, Lin Qiu was stubborn, loved and hated, and was not a soft talker, and often choked Jiang Guangqian. Over time, Lin's little pity was gradually worn away.

The Lin family gave Jiang Guangqian and his wife a large sum of money when they were orphans, and there was no problem in raising ten Lin Qiu, but Lin Qiu was very poor in the Jiang family, and he offended Jiang Guangqian later, and he couldn't even eat enough.

Lin Qiu is a greedy person, and he really can't stand the taste of starvation. Fortunately, he was bold and clever, and after realizing that his aunt and uncle were not good at stubble, he immediately began to plan for himself.

Before leaving Wenshui Mansion City, the Lin family, under the instruction of Jiang Guangqian, took away the money given to him by Lin Qiu's father. The two of them coerced and seduced, Lin Qiu couldn't resist, but he also kept an eye on it and quietly left a little for himself.

After arriving in Dongjiao Village, he bought off the servant woman hired by the Lin family, asked the servant woman to run errands for him, bought the raw materials to make rouge, he quietly made rouge, and then asked the servant woman's son to sell it.

Rouge is expensive, even if he doesn't do much, he only sells it once a month, and the money he gets is more than enough for him to eat and drink, and he can save some of it.

After Ruan Yimian married into the Jiang family, he accidentally broke his business of selling rouge for money, not only did he not go to the Lin family to complain, but also wanted to cover for him, Lin Qiu was very appreciative, and the two made friends.

Lin Qiu has a lively temperament, it is inconvenient to go out after coming to Dongjiao Village, and he is bored at home, just when Jiang Qingyao is busy with his studies, and when he is rarely at home, Lin Qiu often goes to Ruan Yimian to talk, and over time, the relationship between the two is even better.

The two of them were treated harshly by Jiang Guangqian and the Lin family, and they were very sympathetic to each other and helped each other. Jiang Qingyao has a study, no one is allowed to enter, only he and Ruan Yimian have the key, after he goes to Fucheng, Ruan Yimian vacates this study room for Lin Qiu to make rouge.

Ruan Yimian has a pure temperament and has helped him many times, Lin Qiu also let down his guard, and also taught Ruan Yimian the craft of making rouge.

He said that men were unreliable, so he asked Ruan Yimian to make rouge with him to make money and save some money for himself. Ruan Yimian was naturally willing, but he only did it a few times, and before he could sell it, he was killed by the Lin family and Jiang Guangqian.

I didn't expect that I didn't use it in my last life, but I can make money with it in this life.

Ruan Yimian estimated that Lin Qiu was already making rouge to make money now, but Lin Qiu was making rouge powder and rouge cream, which were more complex in rouge, and Ruan Yimian wanted to make simpler and cheaper rouge.

Lin Qiu's rouge cream was sold in a rouge shop in the county seat, and it was expensive but costly.

Ruan Yimian doesn't have that capital now, and he just made a living in this business, so he didn't dare to make a big deal, the cost of making cotton rouge can be much lower, and when he earns money, he will make those expensive face grease and mouth grease to sell.

The girls in the village love beauty a lot, everyone has been able to eat enough in recent years, and many brothers and girls have the heart to dress themselves, especially those who are close to the age of kissing, and they pay special attention to their image.

But the farmers are poor, and the rouge gouache is really expensive, and not many people can use rouge, and most people can only use a little cheap rouge on the day of marriage. Ruan Yimian and his cousin Brother Orange got a box of mountain flower rouge and showed it off in the village for several days, and the dogs at the entrance of the village knew that his brother had bought him rouge.

Ruan Yimian wanted to set the price of rouge cotton lower, and also allowed everyone to exchange cloth and rice, and when the time came, the merchant would sell it in the alleys of the nearby village or town, and no one would be willing to buy it.
