The next day, the two went to the town. The price of rice noodles was still high, and they heard many people complaining on the road.

The early pork was twenty cents a catty, which suddenly increased by eight cents.

The weather is hot and I can't buy too much and go back to put it away. Jiang Miaorang cut two catties and looked to the side, "Uncle, the pig's water hasn't risen, has it?"

"If you want, take all the fifteen renminbi." The butcher grabbed the weight and ticked it. "It's more than two catties. I'll give it to you."

Jiang Miao smiled and nodded: "Okay, thank you, uncle."

Putting the pork and pork offal into the basket, Jiang Miao touched the man's sleeves, "Master, I'll tie up the sleeves for you, and I'll cut them when I go back."

When I got off the car just now, it was scratched by the hook of another shoulder pole.

Cheng Huai stopped, pressed the pole with one hand, and stretched out the other hand.

Jiang Miao tore off the hanging fabric, and then rolled up his sleeves.

"Go back and make it shorter. It's just right for you to wear today." She walked over and rolled up the sleeve on the other side.

Cheng Huai touched a plum from his bosom to her, and wiped the sweat from her brow with his slightly rough fingers, "Daughter-in-law, go to the shop to rest later, I'll buy whatever you want."

"Okay, I'll go down and talk to Aunt Liu."

Liu Chunying's stomach is more than seven months old, and it is estimated that she will give birth in two months.

After sending her to the shop, Cheng Huai went to buy other things.

Liu Chunying took Jiang Miao and sat down in the room, and asked Li Shuisheng to scoop up a bowl of tofu.

"There's not much business recently, but the fermented bean curd business is good, and several of them buy directly by the altar." Liu Chunying slowly told her.

Most people don't buy so much. They usually wrap a piece or two in paper and eat it for several days when they go home.

Jiang Miao looked at the stone mill next to it, which was almost out of work, and said in a warm voice, "No hurry, after this period of time, the business will gradually improve."

Now that everyone is worried about a severe drought, money is naturally spent on things that can be saved, such as rice and noodles.

The business of the steamed stuffed bun shop is not very good either. Lin Wang now makes hundreds of vegetarian stuffed ones and dozens of meat stuffed ones every day.

But they are all sold out, and there are some old customers who come every day.

Before Cheng Huai came back, Jiang Miao reconciled the account brought by Lin Wang, and gave the other half of the extra share.

"Boss, this can't be done."

Jiang Miao shook her head and pushed it to him, "Xiaozhi did all this, so he should be paid some wages."

"I don't want it." Lin Zhi looked at Jiang Miao and said awkwardly.

He didn't do the ledger for the purpose of distributing money.

Jiang Miao frowned, "Do you want to go to another house to help with work?"

"I didn't!" he said immediately.

"Then you just keep the money, or I won't dare to use you."

"I"

Lin Zhi glanced at Jiang Miao's joking face, and knew that she did it on purpose again.

Every time it is a radical method.

He took the money and put it in his pocket, and ran out to sell buns.

Lin Wang had nothing to say now, and remembered Jiang Miao's goodness in his heart.

When Cheng Huai came back from shopping, he saw his daughter-in-law counting the money in the shop.

With her back facing the street, people outside couldn't see what she was doing.

He carried the basket inside and put it down, then handed two pieces of peanut candy cookies over, "I bought them from the corner of the street, let my wife try them."

Jiang Miao took one piece to eat, and let him eat the other piece by himself.

"Sir, have everything gone up today?"

"Well, the cabbage has already risen to three Wen." Not to mention other things.

This year, rivers and streams have dried up everywhere, and many crops have died.

Jiang Miao finished counting the money and packed it up, and stuffed the money bag into his man, "The shop has lost half of its income this month, and it probably has been like this for the past few months."

"It's still making money, it's already very good." Cheng Huai raised his hand and touched her head, soothing her in a warm voice.

Jiang Miao bent her eyes and smiled, "My husband is good at comforting people."

He choked after eating too many pancakes, so Cheng Huai got up to scoop up water and handed it to Jiang Miao to drink.

After sitting in the shop for a while, the two of them prepared to go back with their things.

After walking a few steps, I saw the sneaky Uncle Zhang.

"Sir, he"

Cheng Huai put the things back in the shop, led Jiang Miao to follow, and walked quickly behind, so he carried Jiang Miao and walked away.

Don't blame them for being nosy, Aunt Zhang still wants to take care of her affairs.

This time people are different from last time.

Uncle Zhang stepped forward cheerfully, "Is it one or two today?"

"Yes, but our money is now betting in the casino. Master Ma is lucky and has won everything recently."

Uncle Zhang's expression changed, and his fingers trembled a little, "Then what about my money, when will you give it to me?"

"In this way, if you press another five hundred Wen for us, how about giving you three taels directly?"

Uncle Zhang's face became tense, "My mother-in-law is in charge of my family's money, so I have to take the five hundred Wen back first before asking her for it."

"Hey, why are you so old that you're still afraid of your wife?" The man sneered and shook his head, "The money is not coming out for now, it's all under pressure, we're just chipping in money for Master Ma to play with, and we'll win when the time comes Wouldn't it be good for everyone to share the money together?"

Uncle Zhang couldn't hold back anymore, his face was full of anger, "You are a liar, return my money quickly!"

"Otherwise, I'll sue the officials and say you cheated!"

His face was torn apart in an instant, and the man directly pushed Uncle Zhang down, "Sue the officials?"

"Damn old man, you didn't come back after taking two taels of silver last time, so you have the nerve to call us liars?"

"Hurry up and bring those two taels of silver!" As he said, several people came out from the side.

With that posture, it was obvious that if Uncle Zhang didn't pay him, he would be beaten.

Jiang Miao immediately pulled Cheng Huai away, and shouted: "The officials are here! The officials are here to arrest people!"

Hearing the word official, these people turned their heads and ran away without any hesitation.

Jiang Miao and Cheng Huai walked over to help Uncle Zhang up, and patted the ashes off his body.

Uncle Zhang's face was full of tears. When he saw Jiang Miao and Cheng Huai, he choked up for a moment.

"Cheng Huai, why are you?"

Cheng Huai didn't speak, but looked at him with a sullen face and a serious expression.

Jiang Miao pursed her lower lip, "Uncle Zhang, why do you still believe them?" I knew they were liars last time.

"I just want to get more money, and I won't look for them when it's two or two."

It was like this before, he got the money every time, but who knew it was different this time.

"He is a gang, and he is not a fool."

Several thugs have been prepared, obviously targeting Uncle Zhang.

Uncle Zhang turned his head to cry, the money won't come back, he doesn't know what to do now.

"Jiang Miao, don't tell Aunt Zhang about this, I'm afraid she will kill me."

"."

"What's wrong with Miss Qin from Zuihualou?" Jiang Miao asked coldly.

Uncle Zhang was stunned, "How do you even know this?"

"It's just that those people took a look at me before. I didn't think about anything else." He lowered his head and said.

It is better to hold the money in your hand, there is no reason to give it to others.

This time it was all his fault for being greedy for money, and he should stop when the other party gave him 250 Wen.

Hearing what he said, Jiang Miao's expression softened a little, "How much have you been cheated?"
