Dressed as a vicious stepmother, the whole family is full of wealth

Chapter 82, Shocked again and again

"How much does your grandma Xiao give to Zhou's natal family?" Du asked.

Da Xing thought for a while: "Xiao Cheng said, it's like two cents a catty!"

"What, two pennies?" Mrs. Du covered her mouth in shock: "My God, two pennies a catty? How much money did Fatty Xiao make? Such a waste of money! Those dried cornel fruits rotted all over the mountains and fields are everywhere. Look, she collects two pennies per catty? You really don’t know how to live, and you waste your money for nothing!”

"Mom, we have a lot of dogwood, should we sell it to Grandma Xiao?" Da Xing asked.

Mrs. Du said without any hesitation: "Yes, why not? Two cents a catty, a fool would not sell it to her. If anyone can grind it into flour and make money, it will not be her turn, Xiao Fatty, old Qiao." There must be something strange about the dogwood noodles at home!"

"Okay, mother, I'll help you move the cornel noodles to Grandma Xiao's house." Daxing said excitedly.

"Wait, remember to weigh it before delivering it, lest the fat man lose weight and lose our money!" Du Shi said.

Daxing smiled and agreed. When he thought of the cornel in their house, it weighed more than a hundred catties. The dried cornel accumulated over the years, he was hungry every day and had nothing to eat, so he could only eat this. This disgusting thing could be exchanged for money. This is a great thing, and he will be happy to think about it when he can exchange some millet and sorghum.

At the beginning of Shen Shi, Mrs. Du came with Daxing carrying several bamboo baskets of cornel noodles.

Just as Xiao Qing woke up, he sat in the yard and regained his senses. When he saw Du Shi bringing Da Xing and Er Xing, his brows suddenly frowned.

This old guy, she hasn't settled with her for instigating the second manager to give her money last time, so what do you want to do this time?
Du Shi had just entered the courtyard, and the smile on her face couldn't hide her glances: "Where is Madam sitting?"

Xiao Qing sneered, nonsense!
After Du Shi looked around, wherever his eyes went, he was shocked.

I remember when I was standing at the gate of the courtyard outside in the morning, I saw the cured meat hanging in her house, one by one, all kinds of strips of meat were hung all over the bamboo poles, where did they go?
When she walked up to Xiao Qing, the smile on her face froze instantly.

I saw it, she saw it, the yard was full of meat, chicken, pork, and rabbit meat, hanging on the bamboo poles, one by one, neatly stacked, so much pork, chicken, and rabbit meat, there was always a supply. There are more than a dozen of them, and you can eat them with different flavors every day, and you can’t finish them in half a month. How much should you spend on them?
How much money did this fat man earn to buy so much meat!Why don't you buy food, waste money for nothing!

Seeing so much meat, she couldn't help swallowing and swallowing.

Da Xing and Er Xing also saw it, their eyes straightened immediately, they stood in the middle of the yard in a daze, their eyes widened, they swallowed and swallowed again, the smell of meat was mixed with salt, and was gently blown by the wind. When it blows over, it's like entering the mouth, and the intestines in the stomach are spinning a few knots.

"There's a lot of meat, chicken, rabbit, and delicious pork..." Daxing stared closely.

"Ma'am, your family bought so much meat!" Du Shi almost stretched out his hand out of his longing throat, wanting to take a bite and taste it, but he always felt that it was fake.

Seeing their mother's three eyes glued to the bacon, Xiao Qing almost took a few bites to taste it.

She cleared her throat, and asked flatly: "Da Xing Niang, what's the matter with you girls?"

Mrs. Du came back to her senses and said with a startled smile, "Da, ma'am, yes, that's how it is. I heard that my aunt's family collects cornel, so I thought my family has dried cornel from Yaoshan, so I specially gave you some. "

Xiao Qing didn't give her a smile, but looked at the bamboo baskets in front of Daxing and Erxing, the color of the cornel was indeed like the cornel on Yaoshan Mountain.

She put her hands on the small table and said lazily, "Yes, my family collects dried cornel, how much did you bring?"

Mrs. Du asked Da Xing and Er Xing to bring two bamboo baskets of cornel to Xiao Qing: "Ma'am, I weighed them at home, and the two bamboo baskets weigh about 40 catties. If you don't believe me, you can go to the village with scales and weigh them." .”

Xiao Qing smiled and said to Mrs. Zhou who was sewing at the door of the house: "Little Cheng Niang, take out the scale and weigh the dried cornel for your sister-in-law, and ask Yuan Yuan Niang to come out and weigh it together."

She bought it from the system mall, and she didn't recognize the scale here, but she could tell the difference clearly from the big scale at home when she was a child.

What?Their family even has a name, isn't it almost as rich as the Jiao family?

Du's face was in a daze. She felt that she had gone to the wrong door. Is this still Lao Qiao's house?

"Mother is here!" Mrs. Zhou put down what she was doing, and walked out with a smile on her face.

Du's eyes were sharp, and seeing the cloth put down in Zhou's hand, his eyes brightened again: "Xiao, Xiao Chengniang, is the cloth in your hand a silk cloth?"

The cloth is bright and smooth, soft and comfortable to the touch. I heard that literati can write and draw on it.

Mrs. Zhou replied with a smile: "Sister-in-law Du has good eyesight to see from such a distance. It's silk cloth. It's getting colder and colder today. My mother went to the county town to pull a piece of silk cloth a few days ago. I was in a hurry to make clothes for Yuanyuan Huazi Shuiyuan, thinking that winter is coming, I have wronged the adults, and don't freeze the children."

Silk cloth?It's really silk cloth, one piece costs more than one or two taels of silver!
Old Qiao's family began to use silk cloth to make clothes for their daughters?
She is almost blinded by greed, the life of this old Qiao's family is too wasteful, it is almost catching up with the food and clothing expenses of the big families in the city, and the daughter of the Jiao family is not so particular about clothes, looking outside the old Qiao's house Broken thatched huts, shabby huts, but everything in the house is made of silver!

What kind of money did the Xiao family make!

Mrs. Du looked again at the clothes on her body, and the clothes on Daxing Erxing's body, patch after patch, burlap, espadrilles...

Espadrilles?
Only then did she notice that when did Old Qiao's family wear fine linen and cloth shoes!

Du Shi's shock of more than ten years was all over in front of Old Qiao's family in one afternoon. His mouth opened and opened, and his eyes became round and round. Only she could not think of it, and there was nothing Old Qiao could not do.

They are village women in mountain villages, it is a waste to wear those cloth shoes and silk cloth, what they do is farm work!
What a waste of cloth shoes?

Xiao Shi and Zhou Shi put on cloth shoes?This kind of cloth shoes are sold in the county for five or six dollars a pair!

She quickly scanned the feet of everyone in Old Qiao's house, almost everyone had a pair of cloth shoes, adults were adults, children were children!
Du Shi couldn't help exclaiming: "My God! Auntie, your family's food and clothing are already similar to those of Jiao's family. No, they are more particular than Jiao's family!"

When they came to their house a few days ago, they were all dressed in coarse linen and torn straw sandals. They hadn’t seen each other for a few days. They were building a house, wearing silk cloth, cloth shoes, eating chicken and meat, white rice and flour. What has happened to Old Qiao’s family?
It is the dried fruits and winter dates on the mountain, which can be eaten and clothed shoulder to shoulder with the Jiao family.

Her jaw dropped and she couldn't close her mouth.
