It's no wonder that Jiang Hongying knew about this. First, she didn't want to pay attention to the Lu family. Second, even though they belong to the same town, Wenshi Village and Shuifeng Village are not that close.

It takes two hours to walk from Shen's house to Lu's house, and more than half an hour by bike.

Neither of the two villages is in the mountainous area. There are small roads running through the villages. To go out, one can either ride a bicycle or take a motorcycle. At worst, one can walk for a while and take a bus on the main road.

Occasionally, if you are lucky, you may see a truck from the village going out and you can hail it. Adults give fifty cents or one yuan, and if you see some children on their way to or from school, the driver will usually let them get on for free.

There are tricycles every time there is a market, and their destination is the town. Many villagers will go to the market at this time, so it is quite crowded, and the tricycles are packed full, the kind that can make children cry, and there can be several more hanging on the back, swaying the whole time.

This small road is relatively flat and is fine as long as it doesn't rain.

But because there is no cement paving, it is all dirt and stone. Once it rains, whether it is a drizzle or a downpour, it can bring disaster to this small road. One step down, and your legs are covered with mud. Children going to school are very reluctant to walk on the road in the rain, but they have no choice but to walk. There are many roads in the village, and many people will choose to walk on those small roads and field ridges. However, if you walk on them frequently, it will slip when there are too many people, and if you are not careful, you will stumble and roll into the field and eat mud.

Legend has it that every field adjacent to the road leading to the outside world has had children fall and cry.

Jiang Hongying's question startled the Shen family.

What, the Lu family opened a chicken farm?

Shen Mingqiang's eyes fell on Shen Xun, as if asking, you work in the same quarry with Lu Ling every day, didn't you notice this?
Shen Xun was embarrassed. He didn't talk to Lu Ling at all. He wanted to, but when Lu Ling came to pull the stones, he looked indifferent. He must be still angry about the third brother running away. How could he dare to go up to him and get scolded?

Besides, doesn't he have anything else to do? Recently, a cook came to the quarry. She's very pretty, and he always goes there to play with her.

The Lu family actually opened a chicken farm, that's something.

Shen Xun couldn't help cursing in his heart again, that stupid third brother, how good would it be if they exchanged? If the third brother didn't run away, he could at least get some benefits from the Lu family.

Now it’s good enough that the Lu family doesn’t attack them, but they still want to take advantage of it. It’s simply wishful thinking.

Ah Qi raised her eyes and said, "My mother drove it."

So she knew.

Jiang Hongying's face darkened. How come she didn't say anything about such a big thing? Didn't she consider herself a member of the Shen family?
It took a lot of effort to calm down. Jiang Hongying asked again: "Why didn't I hear you mention it?"

"What's there to say about this?" Ah Qi said with a strange expression, "After all, it's my mother's family's business, and it has little to do with us."

Jiang Hongying was a little anxious. Why is it not big? Aren't you from the Lu family? Even if you can't get the lion's share of the profits in the future, at least you can get some.

How could she know that A'rui got a lot of money.

She is the one who attracts all the business and handles all the procedures. As the chicken farm expands, she will still have to handle the business. How much do you think she can get?

Ah Qi discussed with the Lu family that once the chicken farm was completely stable, Lu Ling would stop pulling stones and come over to learn how to run business and handle outside affairs. After all, he was young, could drive, and could deliver goods, so it was right for him to go out more often and he could also lead people.

As for Lin Shumei, she has already bought some books to improve her education at Ah Chu's suggestion. Occasionally, when she is free, she will go to the chicken farm to take a look. The Lu family supports Lin Shumei's decision to improve her education, and let her do it wholeheartedly without worrying about the family.

The atmosphere in the Lu family is very good.

In addition to raising chickens, Ding Haiying also raised a group of ducks because some time ago, A'rui placed an order with a chain of old duck soup stores.

The pigs raised by Ding Haiying are fat and strong, but he is very busy now and has no time to take care of them. It is enough for him to run the chicken farm well.

If you want to be rich, you have to be one step ahead. Following A'rui's suggestion, he asked his relatives to do it, and Ding Haiying prepared the pig feed.

But not everyone has the guts. The relatives named Ding and Lu were very hesitant, thinking that the cost and risk were too high, and did not participate. Just hearing about the various procedures was difficult, and they felt that they could not do it. Even though Ding Haiying was good at mixing pig feed, they still had no confidence.

The ones who were finally willing to do this were actually my sister-in-law Lin Shumei's eldest sister and her husband. Lin Shumei has three siblings. The eldest sister and her husband have worked outside for several years and saved some money. They have just renovated their house and still have some money. The second child, Lin Shumei, is an elementary school teacher. The third youngest brother, the youngest brother of the Lin family, is still studying. His grades are not particularly good, but he doesn't want to stay in the village to farm or go out to work. He wants to at least get a college degree. This is a shortcut for rural children to get out of the countryside. Fortunately, the Lin family is not in bad conditions and can continue to support them. The youngest brother of the Lin family also failed the exam at the beginning, and followed the eldest sister of the Lin family to work outside for two years. Faced with a life that he could see the end of, he decided to come back to repeat his studies. He also saved a sum of money in those two years, which is now used to pay for daily expenses. The tuition is paid by the Lin family's parents.

The Lin family runs a pig farm, and Ah Qi helped them negotiate the first few orders. Of course, she would take a commission, but this was already lucky for the eldest sister and her husband. After all, she would take them through all the processes.

As for the pig farm, Aqi had other plans.

Once they really settle down, Ding Haiying's feed factory should be opened.

Instead of raising pigs by yourself, it is better to make feed and sell it to pig farmers. After the brand is established, all pig farmers across the country will have to buy Ding Haiying’s feed.

Not only pig feed, but also feed for various other livestock and poultry, as long as it is feed, she believes that Ding Haiying can learn to mix it. With the improvement of living standards, it will be common for people to keep various pets in the future, and pet feed will have higher profits.

The path to wealth she chose is the most suitable for Ding Haiying to start off.

There was no deep conversation at the dinner table, and Jiang Hongying felt depressed and unwilling.

After washing the dishes, she planned to talk to Ah Qi again. Seeing Ah Qi reading a novel by the stove in the living room, she went over and sat down.

Ah Qi raised her eyes and looked at her: "Mom, what's the matter?"

"I just want to ask if my in-laws are short of help. It's winter now, and there's not much to do in the fields. Our family is idle. Your second sister-in-law has given birth to a boy, and there are another mouth to feed. If you can find a job, you can earn some money. Your father has been working hard recently. He does some odd jobs here and there, helping people repair houses, but not every family needs to have their houses repaired. Life is hard."

Although life was not comfortable, it was not as miserable as Jiang Hongying described.

Shen Mingqiang can not only help people repair houses, but also do some carpentry. He can also weave bamboo, and occasionally weave some to sell, but the price is not high and the profit is small. When a family has a big event, he can also hold a banquet. Even though he doesn't touch the spatula at home, he cooks delicious big pot meals.

He is considered a capable person.

Jiang Hongying is actually a good housekeeper, but she is not very friendly to her clients.

"My mom has said so. I will take the thick clothes back to my parents' house to wash them tomorrow and ask for you." Ah Qi said, "But my parents are always angry. I don't know if it will succeed. Besides, I haven't heard that they are short of people."

The Lu family bought a washing machine, which makes washing clothes convenient.

Jiang Hongying's face fell, but she didn't dare to get angry.

"I'm a little sleepy. I'm going to take a nap." A'qi put down the stove.

Jiang Hongying gritted her teeth, but there was nothing she could do.

Just eat and sleep all day long, you pig.

The next day, Asui rode a bicycle carrying thick clothes back to her parents' home.

Wei Menglan looked at her back with envy in her eyes. The Lu family actually had a washing machine. Washing clothes in the middle of winter was really freezing.

Once, when she wanted to boil some hot water to wash her hair, her mother-in-law scolded her, saying that there was not enough firewood in winter and she was still wasting it.

She never dared to boil water again.

Wei Menglan looked down at her red and swollen hands, which were covered with chilblains. Her hands looked red and fat, and the chilblains were almost filled with pus, which made people not want to look at them again. On winter nights, when she wanted to sleep with Shen Xun in her arms, he would push her hand away.

Wei Menglan sighed silently, looked at the child in the backpack beside her, and smiled again.

Isn't this how life should be lived? When the two children grow up, she will be able to enjoy her life. (End of this chapter)
