Tuan Chong is five and a half years old and started his fortune from farming.

Chapter 44 Profitable
  Most of the pots of braised food were sold, and not many people came. That's how business is today.

There were a few pots of braised meat left, and Mrs. Xu and her daughter-in-law worked hard for a long time to put them into earthen pots, which were enough to fill four jars.

Just in case the mice got angry, she asked her son to move to her house for safekeeping.

After her son came out of the house, Mrs. Xu called her granddaughter and asked Fu Bao to be put into the space, so as to ensure that it would not change.

When my son gets up early tomorrow to deliver the goods, I will release it from the space and keep it fresh!
  The cart was placed in a corner of the yard, away from the house on the east side.

After Song Yu came out of the space, her sneezing symptoms improved a lot.

Fu Bao asked secretly and found out that he drank a pot of spiritual spring water, plowed several acres of fields in the space, and broke out in a sweat.
  Well, this guy is really hardworking.

As dusk fell, the family was having dinner. The adults were discussing in detail what they had to do tomorrow, while the children were grabbing a plate of cabbage.

"I want~"

It's rare for Brother Chuan to taste Cai Cai that he likes. He doesn't even like the egg custard anymore, so he points to Cai Cai and wants to eat it.

"Okay, okay, Mom, I will clamp it for you. Sit down."

Mrs. Liu hurriedly stopped her son from standing up on the stool. He was really a little ancestor. He was skinnier than his sister when she was a child!

"Mom, are these cabbages bought or exchanged by fellow villagers? They are so bright~"

Not to mention his son, even Jiang Changfa himself couldn't help but pick up a few more chopsticks.

"I don't remember who changed it. There are still six or seven in the kitchen. I'll bring a few to your father-in-law's house tomorrow~"

Old Mrs. Xu planned to stay and look after the house, and wait for her son to deliver the goods, and then come back with the pigs. She would handle/brine them at home alone, so as not to delay the delivery the next day.

"Nai, won't you come with us?"

Fu Bao burped and asked if he didn't understand what he was saying.

"I won't go. We can't leave the house unattended. When the time comes, you can help me and say hello to your grandfather and the others."

Old Mrs. Xu shook his head, not to mention that there was no one at home, but it was embarrassing to open his mouth too much to eat.

"Mmmmm~"

Fu Bao saw this and stopped asking questions. If the milk doesn't go away, there must be a reason for the milk.

"Nai, when I'm not at home, you can help me deliver some food to Xiaohua. Her parents don't care about her. They just let her work without giving her food."

"Hey, I understand."

Old Mrs. Xu nodded. Xiaohua is such a pitiful child with such parents.
  Mrs. Liu also felt pity for Xiaohua. She was so young, one year older than her daughter, and so thin that she was invisible!
  Not everyone can be a father and mother, and not everyone can love their daughter~
  Seeing that she had almost eaten, Mrs. Liu returned to the kitchen, filled a bowl of leftovers, touched the darkness, and went out for a while.
  When I came back, the bowl in my hand was empty.

Hey, seeing is believing.

How could Mr. Bao be so cruel to his own flesh and blood?
  The Zhang family next door——

The three fathers and sons of the Zhang family ate up all the good food. When Bao came back with the rice, there was only leftover soup, but she didn't mind it, mixed the juice with the rice, and ate happily.

"Mom, I want to eat ham tomorrow!"

"Mom, I want to eat braised pork tomorrow."

"Daughter-in-law, go next door tomorrow to buy a bowl of braised food. I haven't tried braised food yet. I heard from the villagers that it's very delicious."

"Eat, eat, eat. You should give me your wages so I can buy some."

There are three hooves in total. Bao's stewed them all afternoon. How can it not be delicious if you look at the pot in person?

As a result, when I came back with the rice, I didn't even eat a bite, and I felt very angry.

Of course, she was not angry with her sons, but she was very angry with her own man.

"Every day I talk about money. If money is so easy to make, why don't you go out and make it?"

Zhang Biandan muttered, rubbed his full belly, and leaned comfortably on the kang.

There is something between the teeth, just reach out and pick it out~
  "Da Lang, Xiao Lang, mother bought pears. They are in your room. If you want to eat, go and get them. The pears are cold, so you can only eat one."

Bao's eyes flashed, and he made an excuse to send his two sons away.

Sure enough, when they heard that there were pears to eat, the two brothers disappeared in a flash. “Master, I have something to discuss with you~”

"What's the matter?"

Zhang Biandan sat upright, hiding his careless attitude.

Mr. Bao took a sip of soup, cleared his throat, lowered his voice, and said with a happy face:

"The foot-binding lady came to our village. In addition to binding the feet of Lao Li's granddaughter, she also spread her word."

"What are you talking about?"

Zhang Biandan's eyes flashed, could it be a profitable thing?
  "Mr. Chen's family in town wants to buy some smart maids. Give me this number~"

Bao made a sign of five, which means five taels.

"real or fake?"

Zhang Biandan was pleasantly surprised when he heard this. Five taels was enough to cover the expenses of their whole family for one or two years!
  "It's not true. I've made inquiries and asked the foot-binding mother-in-law to reserve a place for our little flower.

Tomorrow, we will take Xiaohua to the Chen Mansion. If we like it, our family will make it available! "

Mr. Bao is bound to get these five taels of silver!
  Regarding this matter, she had long thought of sending her daughter to the Chen Mansion to be a maid!
  I heard that if you become a maid and become a maid, you will still get a monthly salary. If Xiaohua can survive until she becomes a maid, then she will ask Xiaohua to save all the monthly salary and send it home!
  When the eldest son and the younger son grow up and marry a wife, they may be able to raise enough money for the betrothal gift!
  "Sure, I will send my daughter to the Chen Mansion tomorrow. If Xiaohua can be chosen, it will be her blessing!"

Zhang Biandan's smile gradually deepened. It was good to be a maid. The daughter of a family in the next village was sold to a wealthy family as a maid when she was young. When she grew up, the girl helped the family from time to time.
  It seems that having a daughter is not always a bad thing!

"Just in case, you come with me tomorrow to save this girl from running away!"

Bao's tone was sinister, and there was no trace of a loving mother at all.

For money, isn't she just a girl? She can still be born again!

"it is good."

After the couple discussed it, they quickly cleared away the dishes.

Maybe it's conscience discovery, or maybe it's the little father's love that's causing trouble.

He stretched out his pole, collected a bowl of leftovers, and carried it to the woodshed.

"Flower~"

"Dad is here to see you."

"Open the door quickly~"

"Squeak~"

The door of the woodshed was pushed open, and in the moonlight, Zhang Biandan saw the girl he had never paid attention to.

Skinny.

This was his first impression of his daughter.

Unconsciously, he frowned.

Like this, what if the person in charge of the Chen family doesn't take notice tomorrow?
  Xiaohua stared blankly at her father, not missing his scrutinizing eyes and calculating look.

Suddenly, my heart became colder and colder.

"Ahem, Dad~"

Zhang Biandan gave all his love and affection to his sons. He rarely hugged or spoke to his daughter.

For a moment, I didn't know how to speak, and I could only hold back a dry voice for a long time:

"Why did you open the door so late? Let's not talk about this for now. If you are hungry, eat first. When you are full, go to bed early."

"Good~"

Xiaohua didn't expect her father's love, so she took the meal blankly and couldn't see its original appearance.

As soon as she took it, her father left impatiently.

Looking at her father's back, she moved her mouth but did not shout.
