peasant shrew

Chapter 136

"That's good, but I have other thoughts now." Lin Yueniang put the copper coins into the box, thought for a while, and said, "No matter whether the husband will do business by himself in the future or go out to work, my mother and I will always be at home. You can’t just sit and eat. Besides, our food stall is booming now, if Mr. Gong is not there, and it’s windy and rainy, my mother and I can’t help it.”

"It's a difficult task." Mrs. Zhou also felt a little bitter. If the old man in her family was still there, why would the children have to make such a difficult situation?Even if the daughter-in-law is pregnant, she can't find peace, and has to work hard for the family's livelihood.

Zhao Tieniu was sitting on the edge of the kang, he couldn't think of a good way for a while, he looked quite distressed.Not to mention his daughter-in-law, he didn't expect that if he left by himself, it would be really difficult for the family to lose a valuable laborer.Let’s just say it’s running errands, you can’t let the weak and weak mother and daughter-in-law run around, and feeding the cows and getting fodder, it’s not just a matter of lip service.

Seeing Zhao Tieniu's silence and Zhou's tangled sigh, Lin Yueniang raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "What I mean is, let's just set up a small business. From winter to spring, we can save some money." When the weather gets warmer, let's get together again, keep our hands tight, buy a few pieces of wasteland in the back mountain to plant some fruit trees, and get some chicken coops to raise some poultry."

Seeing that Mrs. Zhou was still hesitant, Lin Yueniang didn't urge her, but said helplessly, "Mother, don't blame your daughter-in-law for being big-hearted. Don't talk about anything else, just thinking about your husband going to work for someone else's house, and there is no one around you who is cold Zhire's family members, I feel very uncomfortable. Besides, there is no man in the family, and my mother and I really can't survive this winter. In a few days, we should buy new year's goods earlier, and we have to leave relatives, and the daughter-in-law is also busy But come here. Why don’t you open a small store first, just like we sell food at the market, earn dozens of cash a day, and earn another three taels at the market, which is not as good as a husband who earns a few hundred for a job Money is bad."

When Lin Yueniang said this, Zhou's heart was a little moved.Even Zhao Tieniu's eyes lighted up. When the time came, he would work hard, shoulder the burden, and try his best not to burden his wife.This can be regarded as pampering the daughter-in-law, and there is no need to separate from the daughter-in-law. It is a beautiful thing to think about.

"But can this be done? We don't have any acquaintances in the town, so what if we lose money in setting up a store?" Mrs. Zhou hesitated for a moment, still a little hesitant in her heart.It's not that she accepts death and feels that she doesn't have the fate to get rich, it's just that she is worried that after a lot of work, she will end up with nothing to return.That may be worth the candle.

In fact, Lin Yueniang had a detailed plan in her heart, and the facade was just a transition.When the spring warms up, buying fields and land is inevitable.

If possible, it is natural to plant some peach trees, plums and apple trees. You can also plant some vegetables in the ground under the trees, and then raise some poultry such as chickens and ducks.In this way, he can save eggs and duck eggs and sell them for money on weekdays, and sell meat during festivals, and he can still have raw materials supplied by himself in his small store. The cost is reduced, but the income will definitely double.

What's more, she has been here for so long, and she has seen many ways when she was shopping in the market.Those well-off families and well-dressed wealthy people's purchasing officials are very fond of those items that look festive and talkative.At that time, you can try to cover the fruit on the fruit tree with black cloth or the like, and then cut out the characters of happiness or longevity, and make some patterns.

With some thought, can you still worry about whether you can't earn back your capital?

Zhao Tieniu didn't say that he knew his wife better, but the tacit understanding he should have was not lost at all.Moreover, he has always obeyed his wife's words, even if he has doubts, he will never refute or embarrass his wife.

So, without waiting for Mrs. Zhou to say anything, he just nodded and said it was a good idea.

"Mingming, I will go to the town for a while, return to the work of the master's house, and then go ask about it."

If you can open a shop, it will be a long-term business.

The matter was settled, and the stone in Lin Yueniang's heart was completely let go.She was afraid that her mother-in-law would be stubborn and stop it.Just like my parents, I am used to the life of farming and selling food. Even if I tasted the sweetness of selling food in the market, I didn't dare to do it.At most, it is to use the money in hand to buy some fields, and to grow food in the coming year.

After a busy day, several people were a little tired, so they just ate the leftovers from the early riser and went back to their houses.

In the evening, Zhao Tieniu naturally hugged his daughter-in-law and coaxed him and talked a lot.Of course, according to Yueniang's wishes, there was no serious words.But although it's not sweet talk, it's very warm to Yueniang's heart.

Early the next morning, Yueniang sent Zhao Tieniu away, but she started playing with the jar of pickles.Mrs. Zhou originally wanted to join hands to work, but after looking at it for a long time, she didn't know what to do.On the contrary, Yueniang moved a stool for her with a smile, and asked her to sit beside her as a companion.

Just after tearing some cabbage leaves, I heard Zhao Sanni's voice from the courtyard.She hasn't gone out for a while since she announced the divorce.If it wasn't for the delivery of steamed sweet meat today, she would still be hiding in the house.

"Steam sweet meat?"

After thinking about it for a while, Lin Yueniang understood the kindness of the second uncle and the second aunt.You know, this steamed sweet meat is a big dish only during the Chinese New Year, and the most expensive thing is sugar and meat.Especially white sugar, a rare item in the farmhouse, if it is not necessary to use it, no one is willing to grab a handful and use it indiscriminately.

I'm afraid that the second uncle and the second aunt came up with such a method because they were afraid that Sanni would be suffocated in the house.
