Chapter 241 Wishful Thinking
"How about that?"

When Jiang Xiaoxiao heard this, she immediately pursed her lips and said, "By then, you will be the boss's wife, and you will have to pay wages to others."

"Haha, yes, you are right." Qiu Lianniang was amused by Jiang Xiaoxiao's words.

Jiang Wei came to the yard with a plate of snacks and saw a smile on his face when he saw the happy two people.

As soon as she put down the snack plate, Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't wait to twist a piece of osmanthus cake and feed it to Qiulian Niang. She said with a smile: "Aunt Qiulian, try it quickly. This is the osmanthus cake made by my mother. Is it delicious?"

Seeing that autumn was coming to an end, Gao Xiaoshuan was afraid that the sweet-scented osmanthus on the mountain would wither. In the past few days, she called Wang Goudan and several children to help, and almost all the sweet-scented osmanthus on the mountain was harvested and sent to her home.

The soap workshop couldn't use so much osmanthus at once, so Jiang Wei picked some fresh ones to make osmanthus cake.

Qiu Lian Niang took a small bite of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake fed by Jiang Xiaoxiao. It was soft, fragrant and waxy, sweet but not greasy, with a strong sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance. It was simply tastier than the ones sold in dim sum shops in town!

"It's delicious!" Qiu Lianniang couldn't help but take two more bites, "How do you make this?"

"It's simple to make, just use glutinous rice flour, sugar and osmanthus honey. I'll teach you when it's empty." Jiang Wei saw Qiulian Niang eating happily, and said: "There are still many in the kitchen, take some back when you leave. Give it to Tiezhu and the others."

"Okay, then I'm welcome." Qiu Lianniang agreed readily, not as restrained as before.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was in a good mood while eating the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, but out of the corner of her eye she couldn't help but glance towards the balcony on the second floor.

Shen Que was sitting there in the backlight of the balcony on the second floor. There was a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and a pot of tea on the table. The tea in the cup was cold, but he was still only looking at the account books he had turned over several times in his hand.

The faint fragrance of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake made the pigeons on the side jump forward from time to time, but in an instant they were caught by the thin chains wrapped around their feet, and they had no choice but to flap their injured wings twice, pitifully.

Shen Que raised his eyes and squinted at it: "Greedy."

But he twisted a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake with his fingers, crushed it, and sprinkled it in front of the pigeon.

The pigeon finally stopped fussing and began to eat with small mouths.

Ah Huang, who was sleeping on the side, lazily raised his head and saw the pigeon pecking merrily, seemingly disdainfully, his round tiger eyes slightly narrowed, and a low, mocking sound came from the tiger's mouth.

A rare scene of quiet time.

Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but narrowed her eyes happily, turned around and heard Qiu Lianniang talking about Lao Li's family.

"...When I passed by Li's house yesterday, I saw that the yard was in a mess. The whole family was arguing about something, and it was so noisy."

Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled when he heard this.

Of course she knew what they were arguing about, and it was nothing more than the fifty taels of silver hidden in the dog hole.

Mr. Li sold all the land in his family to save Li Shoude. Unexpectedly, all the money was wasted in the end. It would be strange if Li Shoucai didn't go crazy.

It is estimated that in order to appease Li Shoucai, Mr. Li told the story about Li Jinfeng secretly hiding money in the dog hole in the backyard of Huang Mansion. A family member had a dispute over the ownership of the money.

Li Jinfeng had saved the money herself, so Sun was naturally unwilling to hand it over. In addition, Li Shoude was dead, so she no longer had any nostalgia for the Li family, and she only wanted to leave after getting the money.

And Mr. Li also wanted that money, just to redeem the thirty acres of land he sold.

Li Shoucai disagreed. He believed that the fifty taels of silver should be half of his.

He has paid so much for this family. In order for Li Shoude to obtain fame, almost all the work in the house is done by his second wife and his family. They should share half of the money that Li Jinfeng has hidden.

Before the money was received, the three parties had different opinions and argued endlessly.

"Sister-in-law, your man is dead, what's the use of taking so much money? Why don't you give it to us as a second room and family." Mrs. Zhu said confidently.

When she said this, her back was straighter than ever before, and she was no longer afraid of Mrs. Li who was glaring at her.

Now in the Li family, the only ones who can do anything is their second wife and their family. No matter how arrogant and domineering Mrs. Li is, she would not dare to beat or scold her like before.

In addition, the last time her man went crazy in the yard, Mrs. Li was afraid when she saw Li Shoucai, fearing that her scalp would be ripped off and smashed to the ground, so she was particularly cautious towards Li Shoucai.

"Son, we are farmers. Those thirty acres of land have been passed down from generation to generation. We must not forget our roots and must redeem the land." Mr. Li smiled cautiously, with a tone he had never heard before in his voice. of gentleness.

The wound on his forehead hadn't healed yet, but his smile affected the flesh on his face, causing him to grimace in pain, but he didn't dare to show it at all.

"Dad, do you also know that this field was passed down from ancestors?" Li Shoucai sneered, "Then why didn't you listen to me when I begged you not to sell it?"

"Dad, dad was wrong, and he regrets it now... Son, can you forgive dad? I know that I didn't do well in the past and treated you a lot. I will make it up to you in the future..." Mr. Li said as he spoke. He hammered his chest remorsefully, as if to express how much he regretted what he had done before.

Li Shoucai watched Mr. Li's performance coldly, unmoved at all, and said coldly: "There is no need to discuss this matter. I will take the money as soon as I get it. From now on, I will have the final say in all matters in the family. After buying the land, I will have the final say." Say it again.”

Now that he knows that the Li family still has such a large amount of money, Li Shoucai will naturally not give in.

More than fifty taels of silver, he had never seen so much money in his life.

With this money, what else can he do as a miserable farmer?
He wants to use the money to do business in the town, make money, buy a shop, money begets money, and then build a big house...

In the past, Mr. Li held all the money in the family and could not do anything. Now that he has this money, Li Shoucai's heart bursts with countless hopes. He wants Mr. Li to see with his own eyes that he is not like the good-for-nothing like his elder brother. He relies on his family and only sucks the blood of those around him. He will rely on his own abilities to make his way into the world!
Li Shoucai is full of hope and energy for his future.

He naively thought that a woman from the Jiang family could do business and make money, so why couldn't he?

He just lacks the capital to do business. With this money, he will definitely make a lot of money, even more than Jiang!

He wants to build a house bigger than the Jiang family, so that everyone in the village will come to fawn over him and please him...

Li Jinfeng stood nearby with a big belly. Seeing that Li Shoucai took his money for himself without any explanation, he felt very dissatisfied. He wanted to stand up and say a few words, but was stopped by Sun's eyes.
