Reborn peasant girl: I became rich overnight by traveling to sea

In the Guo family yard in winter, the sound of donkeys grazing nearby is particularly noticeable.

After Chang Pingning heard the news that the Liu family was returning to the capital, she reacted in surprise.

She seemed to have seen her mother-in-law and other aunts in the village getting together and talking about the Liu family, but when she got closer and wanted to continue listening, she found that everyone had shut up in unison.

"Aunt Guangying, don't ask Ningning about this. She hasn't heard any clues from the Liu family yet." Guo Bomo stepped forward and explained to Chang Pingning with a smile, "Everyone in the village gathers together. Love to exaggerate things.

"Since you haven't heard similar news from the Liu family, I don't want you to be disturbed by rumors in the village and affect your relationship with Miss Liu." Guo Bomo also said the last part of the sentence to Aunt Guangying.

Regardless of whether Aunt Guangying heard it or not, Chang Pingning did. She looked at Aunt Guangying awkwardly: "Auntie, this is the first time I heard this news about the Liu family from you today. Can you tell me about it?" What's going on?"

Aunt Guangying looked at Bomo's wife's surprised expression and it didn't look like it was fake, but the Guo family didn't want Chang Pingning to know, saying they didn't want to affect the relationship between Chang Pingning and the Liu family.

Aunt Guangying was not sure what the Guo family meant. She waved her hands and said with a smile: "Hey, it's just what a few old ladies in the village chatted about while warming themselves by the fire. If you haven't heard Huantou's words from the Liu family, just think you're talking about someone else's family." The matter is settled.”

In this way, Aunt Guangying told Chang Pingning some gossip spread in the village. Although she saw Guo Bomo's disapproving expression, she still picked out some that Chang Pingning could listen to.

If the Liu family really leaves after the new year, Bomo's wife is close to the Liu family's cook. Maybe she can give Bomo's wife two or three recipes before leaving, which will be enough for their village to make money.

With this in mind, Aunt Guangying told Chang Pingning that a relative of an aunt in Guojia Village was doing menial work at the county magistrate's house.

When I was visiting relatives during the Chinese New Year this year, we started chatting and said that the young lady from the county magistrate's family had been attracted by the prince from Beijing and had taken her to the capital.

And that prince came to their Changhe Town a month or two before the Chinese New Year.It is said that the prince and his entourage often ran to Guojiacun in the first few days after arriving.In Guojia Village, only the Liu family came from the capital.

"But Auntie is also very strange. I heard that their family -" Aunt Guangying said, raised her chin and pointed in the direction of the Liu family, lowering her voice, "They were exiled for committing the serious crime of treason. How come they are so weak in such a short time?" Is everything okay? If they were unjustly accused, wouldn’t those young and middle-aged men in their family have died in vain? "

Chang Pingning followed Aunt Guangying's gaze and looked in the direction of the Liu family. He felt inexplicably pitiful for Miss Liu and didn't know how she survived the period of exile.

Seeing Chang Pingning's appearance, Aunt Guangying knew that she really hadn't heard much about the rumors about the Liu family. She thought about it and made her words simpler: "Fortunately, their family's luck is back now. I guess people in the town can see that." The whereabouts of the prince were revealed, and the news that the Liu family could still go back was obtained.

"Otherwise, how could the county master and his gang of people, who have never tasted delicacies from the mountains and seas, change their attitude towards the Liu family just because of a seafood feast?" Aunt Guangying said, seeing the expression on Chang Pingning's face becoming more and more solemn, and then Say it haha.

"Daughter-in-law of Bomo, my aunt just said everything casually. What she told you was all made by everyone in the village sitting together eating melon seeds and chatting. Since you didn't hear the news from the Liu family, just think that aunt is talking nonsense."

Aunt Guangying remembered her purpose of coming to Chang Pingning, and brought the topic back: "It is also the Chinese New Year period, and everyone is too busy. There is no news about the work at sea, and there is no news about the work in the school. Everyone is sitting here There is nothing to do at home.

"Someone spread a rumor, and everyone really thought that the Liu family would leave after the new year and leave our village alone." Aunt Guangying finally added a few words to Chang Pingning, "After all, everyone hopes that the Liu family will be well. Yes, of course it would be better if we could bring everyone together to make money.”

It wasn't until Aunt Guangying finished speaking that Guo Bomo breathed a sigh of relief.Recently, there have been all kinds of rumors about the Liu family in the village. Some people even think that Miss Liu's son is the prince's child.Also, Miss Liu went to the beach to enjoy the sea breeze during that time. I wonder if it was because the prince brought the county magistrate back to the capital.

Although they don't know if these rumors will reach the ears of the Liu family in other ways, the Guo family does not want Chang Pingning to be involved in these rumors, whether it is talking together or stepping forward to help Miss Liu refute them.

Chang Pingning probably didn't hang out with the villagers much, so after hearing Aunt Guangying's rumors, she wasn't convinced that the Liu family would really leave after the New Year. She was more convinced that everyone was celebrating the New Year. A lot more leisurely.

"It's the Chinese New Year right now, so it's normal to have nothing to do like going to sea and going to school. Don't worry, Auntie. I've never heard of a prince coming to this town. I just heard about it from you today." Chang Pingning said, "You don't have to worry either. Worry.

"There have been fewer outsiders coming to our village recently because everyone is celebrating the New Year. Even if businessmen from other places left home yesterday, they may not be able to get to the port now. Guo Bomo and I originally planned to see the situation at the port today, but we thought There is also a bottom line.”

Chang Pingning said, and couldn't help but add in his heart, it's better than gossiping at home.

Then Chang Pingning explained to Aunt Guangying the reason why there were so few people working in the school. Almost all the people in the town had been here before and would not come so soon.

At the same time, Chang Ping also reminded Aunt Guangying that the price of ready-made seafood processing in the school can only be raised during special times like the year before. If they continue to make money from this after the new year, they may not make as much money as before.

Aunt Guangying nodded. Although she was dissatisfied with being lectured by a junior, she was relieved a lot.

In less than three months before last year, my family had earned more than two yuan of silver. They were planning to continue earning after the New Year, but there was no news.When people are idle, they tend to panic easily.

"Bomer's wife still sees things clearly." Aunt Guangying praised.

Chang Pingning was a little embarrassed: "I also learned this from Mother Bomo and me."

In the past few days, Ye Xiuying has taken the children of the Guo family to catch the sea, but the weather is cold and the harvest is not as much as before.

"If Auntie is still worried, let's go to Meng Xia and ask. It's better than staying at home and wondering." Chang Pingning looked at Guo Bomo, "It seems that today I can only take the trouble of you and my second brother to go to the port to have a look."

Guo Bomo was surprised by Chang Pingning's reaction. He originally thought that Chang Pingning would argue for the Liu family after learning about the rumors in the village, but he did not expect that she would go directly to the Liu family to ask.

"Would you like to go to Liu's house and ask?" Aunt Guangying said hesitantly.

Chang Pingning was puzzled and glanced at Guo Bomo in confusion, trying to understand from his face why Aunt Guangying was hesitant.

"Ask Meng Xia when the new year will be called for everyone to catch the sea together, and if anyone has gone to school to eat seafood recently." Chang Pingning said, looking at Aunt Guangying blankly, "What do you think I want to ask?" (This chapter) over)
