Crossing the road to riches

Chapter 65

On the second day, Mrs. Zhao happily took the embroidery materials back to her natal home.

"Father~ Mother~ I'm back".

Although Zhao's parents are old, they are in good health, and they left the house as soon as they heard their son's voice.

Zhao's wife, Zhao Wenwen, looks like a literati at first glance, not as vulgar as ordinary old women, but neatly dressed in a washed white robe.

He was anxious to see his son, but his tone didn't sound so welcoming.

"What do you do when you come back to recruit girls? They are all married people. Be careful that your wife's family has opinions."

Zhao Jinmei's father, Ning Shi, also came out happily when he heard that his son was back, especially when he saw him carrying a lot of things, he laughed so hard that his teeth couldn't see.

"Son, you are back. Daddy misses you so much. You don't even know what's going on at home. Didn't it rain heavily this year? Half of the food in the village was flooded, and half of our family was gone. You don't even know that our family is only If you can afford one meal a day, how do you live your life?"

Jinmei felt uncomfortable, could he not know what his father looked like?But no matter how you say it, my father can't ignore it.

"Father has been sad these years, it will pass, and this time I came to give you some ways to live."

Ning was overjoyed, but he had heard that his Wenhao granddaughter was doing pretty well. A few days ago, she was thinking about how to get rich and didn't think about her father's family, and she didn't see her coming to give something.

I didn't expect that I was still sensible, and it would be best if I could send some food or something. Otherwise, how would a large family, a large family, two bedrooms and three bedrooms add up to seventeen or eight people live.

Mrs. Zhao took out everything in her hand one by one.

"All of you who have finished embroidering can have ten coins each. Although it is not much, if you work hard, you won't be hungry."

"Father, you are a good craftsman. You can earn a tael of silver a month if you embroider with a man with a big house, two houses and three houses."

It is a good thing that Ning's four men in the family can earn so much money, and with his grandson, at least one or two half of the money.

The second brother-in-law secretly listened outside the threshold, his eyes glowed, which was a good thing, usually they would only pay two or three pennies for their embroidered things.

"Then who will we give it to after we embroider it?".

Mrs. Zhao felt proud when she thought of her son having done such a remarkable thing.

"Send it to the newly opened Zhongzi Embroidery Workshop in the town, that is opened by my son Jinmei."

Both Ning and Zhao Wenwen were taken aback. Is it their disfigured grandson?I just can't believe it.

Ning felt that it was really a great fortune.

"Before recruiting a daughter, my father always said that you are a happy person. You can see that what your father said is right. The little girl is doing well, and even this son is doing well. You can't forget your parents in the future, and you can't forget a few. Sister, you are a member of our Zhao family."

Every time he came back, he knew what his father was going to say, and he couldn't do without helping his mother's family.

In recent years, he has not helped his mother's family very much. Overtly and secretly, he never stopped when the family was too poor to solve the problem, and he was taught a lot by his wife for this.

Jiang Shi, the second brother-in-law outside the door, was not so happy at this time.

The eldest son-in-law came back to show off on purpose. Now that he is amazing, he came back to show off.

Knowing that they are having a hard time, they don't bring food, oil and water when they come back. Even if the journey is far away and it is not easy to bring, then it is much less enjoyable to bring a few taels of silver to spend with such money.

If his son made this embroidery, why not give them a higher price for the natal family, it is really unconscionable to earn money from the natal family.

But when he came in, he smiled and it was called a closeness.

"Brother is back? Our family misses you. Thanks to you, our family's life is easier."

Then he sighed again.

"Ah~ But our eldest room is in a panic now, and it's fine if we don't have enough to eat, but my family's eldest treasure can't go to school, and the teacher's wife said it's a pity for such a good seedling."

In the past, Mrs. Zhao would definitely have looked down upon him. He couldn't afford to eat and still read leisurely. But since the incident with Haoer, he has completely changed his mind.

Mrs. Zhao attributed all of Wen Hao's achievements to reading books.

Although he didn't like this second brother-in-law who was one-on-one, but behind-the-scenes, he really hoped that there would be a scholar in his natal family.

How can Zhao Zhaonv's parents not know who this Ning family is and what kind of twists and turns they have in their hearts.

Although Ning felt that it was wrong, he still hoped that his son could help the blood of the Zhao family, and their family also wanted to have a good luck.

"Recruiting a daughter is not easy at home. The eldest granddaughter is indeed a good student and is very likely to pass the exam. If you have the ability, please help. If you can't, I don't blame you. It's just that someone in your natal family will be powerful in the future. You will benefit a lot from Wen's family." is not it".

Zhao Wenwen didn't like it when he saw Jiang Shi, why did their family want such a shameless man.

He slapped the table on his face.

"Shut up the two of you. Seeing that the life of the recruit girl is getting better in Wen's house, you two just want to spoil it. Does your conscience hurt? If you want to make a fortune, you can rely on yourself, and rely on outsiders. Why don't you go to bed directly?"

Ning didn't refute, but he was also doing it for the good of the family, and besides, his son had been a cow and a horse in Wen's family for so many years, and raised three children, so it wouldn't be a bad luck.

"Your mother just wants to save face and suffer. Her stomach croaks every night when she is hungry every day. If there is no food in the house, your mother and I will only be hungry and save the food for the younger ones."

Jiang didn't think it was enough to make Zhaomei sad, and if he added another fire, he didn't believe that he could stand still after all this.

"The ten thousand old woman in our village was alone with her two granddaughters. In order to save food for her granddaughters, she starved herself to death. Her waist was almost cut off by the waistband of her trousers."

Fortunately, Wenjia Village is blessed with Wen, otherwise people would starve to death like other villages.

He definitely wouldn't leave his natal family alone, and made up his mind before going out that he couldn't just subsidize it like this, and had to find a long-term solution for his natal family, but he couldn't hold back when he talked to Jiang shi at his natal family.

Seeing my mother's family like this, my heart is still soft.

He took out the purse from his arms, and it cost ten taels of silver.

The eyeballs of the three of them popped out, and they were able to pay so much money in the blink of an eye.

Give the money to Jiang Shi.

"You can use the money from your brother-in-law to study for your niece. If you study well, you must read it."

Immediately afterwards, he took out 40 taels from his purse and handed it to his father.

"Father buys some food for 40 taels, and start a small business. There are so many people in the Zhao family who will always find a way to make ends meet. As a married son, I can only do so much for the family."

Jiang secretly weighed the ten taels of silver in his hand, why he had so little and his father had so much.

What's more, his daughter is also a material for studying, which is really unfair.

Zhao Wenwen, with his silver hair all over his head, slapped the table hard.

"If you are worthless, you can gnaw and recruit girls. One day, our Zhao family will starve to death."

Mrs. Zhao didn't dare to speak, she knew that her mother was doing it for her own good.

"Mother, don't be angry, if the sisters have ideas to do some business, the family will not worry, it's worth it."

Zhao Wenwen still doesn't know what her two daughters look like. She has read some books, and her daughters of the Zhao family can read. How many times have she persuaded them to go to the town or the city to find some jobs, even if they are errands? Well, no better than at home.

There's something in his stomach, but he's just a useless wretch who has spent half his life doing business, so don't count on it.

"Zhao Wenwen glanced at his son, and went out angrily."

But Ning is smart, and his granddaughter and grandson can do business in an orderly manner. Maybe they can show them what to do and how to do it.

"Girl recruiting, you also know the virtues of your two younger sisters, why don't you help your natal family to see, or ask your granddaughter and grandson to help our family see what business is good to do?".

This Mrs. Zhao really has some ideas.

It's not for nothing that he has been hanging around the town with the good girl for so long.

"Can't our family know how to make tofu?".

Ning nodded.

"Yes, yes, but this thing is troublesome, besides, can anyone buy it?".

Here comes Zhao's occasion.

"Father, don't look at the village. People in the village are reluctant to spend money to buy food outside, but you go to the town to see. The two tofu sellers in Xiqiao Town sell out every day."

Ning felt that her son's return was very different now, and she was taken aback for a while.

"However, there are already two in Xiqiao Town. You go to Dongqiao Town to have a look, and then use the money to buy a shop. Haoer said that the price of food will continue to rise. If you want to store beans, I have inquired clearly. Bean dregs pancakes It’s not a waste to sell or eat at home. If you can’t sell it all, you can make dried tofu, make tofu skin, and buy and sell tofu brains. Anyway, this tofu is not wasted at all.”

It sounds like everything is good, but they can't resist that they are half-timers, and if they know how to do it, it doesn't look very good.

Mrs. Zhao smiled and said, "Practice makes perfect. Anyway, if you know something, you need to grope. You don't know that my little husband and my little daughter sell things that he groped out based on what Haoer said." .

Mrs. Zhao is now more and more satisfied with Fufu.

"It was tireless over and over again. Haoer's business is thanks to him, and he also learns to write and settle accounts every day. In the future, he will help Haoer's housekeeper. He is really getting more and more handsome."

Jiang's heart turned blank. After showing off his own life, he came to show off a newcomer. Isn't this just saying that he is useless in the open and in the dark?

cut!What a big deal.

But Mrs. Jiang had an idea again, and the eldest brother actually wanted them to figure it out by themselves, wouldn't it be better if he didn't just let him learn the Wen family's dim sum technique?To put it plainly is to show off the black-hearted.

"Brother~ It's a lot of trouble, why don't you just take me to your good husband-in-law and let him teach me this skill, even if it's just three points, our Zhao family can live a prosperous life Is it right?".

Mrs. Zhao's face turned dark. He has been enduring Mrs. Jiang since he entered the door. There is no end to this. Can you just tell me the secret recipe?

At this time, Ning's face was also blackened. If his son really did such a thing, it would be a bad life. This Jiang's greed is insatiable.

"Son-in-law, go and pull out all the weeds in the yard, fill up the water tank, wash the clothes of the whole family for me, work more and give me less crooked ideas every day."

Ning shi saw this Jiang shi clearly.

If it wasn't for his own daughter who liked him, his family didn't ask for much dowry, thinking that his parents are also sensible people, so they wouldn't marry such a scourge.

Jiang's teeth were itching with anger in the courtyard. He didn't do this to make the Zhao family rich, and they kicked their noses at him one by one.

snort!
If this damn old man can still tie his feet, he will go to the town to find someone himself when he catches up.

He didn't believe that the new husband could not give face to his father-in-law and family.

When the time comes when he gets rich, don't count on him, he wants every part of his money!
Mrs. Zhao had a private conversation with her father for a long time, and before the two younger sisters came back, she hurried away before lunch.

He had already been pinched to pick him up.

As soon as the Zhao family had finished lunch, Mrs. Jiang told his wife what happened today.

Zhao Jin couldn't restrain his excitement when he heard this.

"Our family is really rich, how long will it take to spend so much money, can it take half a lifetime?".

Jiang cast a blank look at his wife, with a simple and honest look, and there was no sign of the ink man in the slightest.

"Anyway, you take me to see my eldest brother and daughter's house tomorrow."

Zhao Jin felt that it seemed inappropriate to do this. Although she was an aunt, she was not close to her niece. She couldn't reach out when she was short of money for her studies. What if she went and was mistaken for the autumn wind? it is good.

"What are you going to do? People live other people's lives. We live our own lives and have our own lives."

Jiang Shi hated that iron could not be made into steel, why did she marry such an idiot.

"Can I go and thank her for going? If you don't go with me, I will go by myself. It's up to you!".

Of course Jiang did not tell Zhao Jin what she really thought, otherwise she would have given him a hard time.

If he hadn't calculated how much the eldest house needed, and where the things came from to secretly cook some oil and water for her daughter, maybe reading would be a problem.

As soon as Mrs. Zhao came home, Wen Fugui was waiting in the yard.

But this time he didn't lose his temper, instead he asked about the situation of Mrs. Zhao's natal family.

"How is the mother-in-law's house?".

Zhao's eyes were a little evasive, and Wen Fugui understood at a glance that this was another subsidy with family money.

"How much did you give?".

Zhao's neck swayed, he couldn't really beat himself to death.

"50 taels, I promise this is the last time."

Hearing this, Wen Fugui gasped.

"50 taels, do you know that you can build three big yards in the village?"

But Wen Fugui didn't do anything this time.

Although I know that it is probably more than half of the money of the couple.

"I don't think it's wrong for you to help the Zhao family, I'm afraid you'll turn them into wolves!".

Mrs. Zhao shook her head, he made up his mind that this was the last time.

He took Wen Fugui back to the house and handed over all the family money to her.

"After the wife is the owner, you will keep all the money in our house, lock it up, and I will point out the way. If you look for me in the future, I won't have the money to take it out. Anyway, I will send a few mouthfuls of food to honor my parents, and I will pay for the rest. I won't care anymore."

Wen Fugui sighed, and didn't blame her anymore, she knew Zhao's temperament.

My heart is soft.

She can't really divorce her man when she's too old, and it's useless to beat her up.

It's not that she can't understand, he can't live well by himself and see his parents can't get enough to eat.

But she was so angry that she posted so much money without any consultation with her. Don't think about Zhao's hands of the couple's money in the future, and give him family money at most.
