Peasant woman's day

Chapter 98

This matter was not as easy as Aunt Liu thought.At the beginning, Chun Juan'er mentioned that her relatives were in Kaibuzhuang, so to speak, Boss Nading agreed to cooperate with them on a batch of cloth.Chunjuan was eager for quick success, found someone to follow Hongmian, found the workshop, explored for several days, bought a person inside, asked for the location, and set fire to it while the moon was dark and the wind was high.Boss Ding was trustworthy. After looking at their cloth, he said that the quality of the cloth was poor, so he had to lower the price to [-]%. Chunjuan had no choice but to agree.

I thought this matter was over like this, but who knew that Furong and the others would regroup and open cloth shop again.Chunjuan'er was not good at weaving at all, so she handed cotton to others to buy, and was secretly deducted a lot of money. The quality of the cotton she bought was not good, and the quality of the woven cloth was not good.Boss Ding's business has already been robbed by Hongji Cloth Factory a lot, now that he sees the cloth like this, he wants to get back the weaving piece himself.Chunjuan'er panicked, Ben'er hasn't returned yet, the house and land are mortgaged.She repeated the old trick, remembering that Furong and the others had recovered so quickly last time, she suspected that the person didn't try his best, so she wanted to go in person, but was caught.

Who can Aunt Liu turn to? Her richest and most well-connected relative is Boss Ding.But Boss Ding has just been called by the head of the village to ask several times, and his business has plummeted. He wished he could get rid of this matter as soon as possible. How could he talk to this Aunt Liu who he didn’t even know? up.Aunt Liu had no choice but to sit and cry at the gate of the yamen, and was thrown out by the yamen servants.Aunt Liu had no choice but to trust people everywhere. She had no money and no backer. Thinking of Furong, she felt regretful.

Furong was eating delicious sesame paste, and heard Song Chunhua vividly describe the scene where Aunt Liu ran to the gate of Guo's house to cry.When Song Chunhua said that her mouth was dry, she picked up the tea and drank it down: "You don't know, her third uncle scolded her, saying that she was used to her son and daughter-in-law and caused a disaster. If there is any trouble again, I will kill you." Send her to be locked up with that crazy woman from the Liu family before. Aunt Liu fainted from fright on the spot, and was carried back, so she didn't dare to make trouble anymore."

Fu Rong pursed her lips and smiled, relying on the village chief alone is useless, even an upright official can hardly decide on housework.The clan is a unique thing in ancient times, and the elders have more power than the officials.It's just a question of whether you want to manage it or not.If Aunt Liu is going to make a fuss and let everyone know that the Guo family is wrong, the Guo family will spread the rumors first.Every gossip after Aunt Liu was like an excuse.Everyone looked again, hey, even her third uncle came forward, so the truth became clearer.Fu Rong smiled and said, "Then she will really settle down like this?"

"How can it be. She didn't dare to make trouble anymore, but that Chunjuan mother cried when she saw the sky, ran to the house, and didn't make any noise, so she cried and begged her to help her save her daughter. He said that everything was done at the instigation of his son-in-law. After hearing this, Aunt Liu stopped pretending to be sick, and cried at home, only saying that she married a prodigal daughter-in-law and couldn't bear children. She did some shameful things again, and brought her son into the government to lock her up. You haven't seen the two parents crying at each other, it's really funny." Song Chunhua took another big sip of water, " One said they wanted to reconcile, and the other said they wanted to divorce their wives, and there was a lot of quarrel."

Yuanyuan just ran to Furong's side, and Furong picked up his bowl and fed him a large spoonful of sesame paste.Gu Qingchen ground the sesame seeds himself, ground them finely, and added some sugar, it was sweet and fragrant, round and cute to eat.Now that Gu Qingchen had his own idea, he bought more and simply started this business, and it sold well.Yuanyuan took a big mouthful, and her eyes curled up with a smile: "Mother, it's delicious."

Fu Rong tapped his forehead with her finger: "Be good, have fun with my brother, don't go out, be careful not to fall yourself in the snow, be careful when your father spanks your ass."

Yuanyuan covered her buttocks, and her small mouth slid down: "Mother, be good, Yuanyuan, don't hit Yuanyuan. Yuanyuan is playing with her brother. Mother!" Yuanyuan said, twisting on Furong like a candy. On her body, her little head went straight into Fu Rong's arms.Fu Rong was completely laughed at by him, and backed away: "You little monkey child, you are getting more and more tired now." Since Mr. Rui disappeared, Fu Rong is now much less worried, even though Yuan Yuan is already learning calligraphy from Gu Qingchen Yes, but also more and more mischievous.

Song Chunhua looked at Fu Rong like this, obviously more happy than sad, and said with a smile: "This is your blessing. Auntie, what if those two women beg to come to our house?"

"Could it be that she robbed my purse, and the purse was robbed by someone else. She came to me and cried poorly, so I can't help her?" Furong grabbed Yuanyuan's arm with one hand, "It fell carefully."

Song Chunhua won Fu Rong's words, so she stopped talking about it, and started talking about the New Year's event: "When will you go back home?"

Fu Rong looked out the window and said with a smile, "I'll go back after seeing the Kitchen God."

After seeing the Kitchen God off, Gu Qingchen and Fu Rong really set off for the Gu family.The others are fine, but Mrs. Gu has lost a lot of weight and looks bad.Fu Rong was puzzled, last time she came back to see that Gu Dajie was only a little thinner, why did she look so thin this time?

After lunch, Furong brought back gifts for everyone.Mrs. Gu washed the dishes and came in. As soon as she sat down, Mrs. Gu said, "Go and get back all the benches that the Xu family in Dongtou borrowed from us, count the number, and carefully check whether the legs of the stools are there. Short."

Mrs. Gu responded and went out.Fu Rong stood up and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll go with you. I'll go and deliver things to Sanbo and the others."

When the two sisters-in-law came out, Mrs. Gu saw no one left and right, her eyes turned red immediately: "Third siblings."

"Sister-in-law take care of yourself, but is there any discomfort?" Fu Rong and this sister-in-law can still get along.

Mrs. Gu shook her head and said, "Third brother and sister, my mother has gone."

When Furong heard this, she was startled, and remembered how desperate Aunt Gu was when the snow crushed their house.Fu Rong had mixed feelings in her heart, so she could only comfort her: "Sister-in-law, there is nothing you can do about it. You have to relax."

"It would be much better if I set up my own family like the third younger brother and sister." Mrs. Gu smiled wryly, "Nowadays, in front of my mother-in-law, it is rare to live a peaceful life, so how can I be relieved?"

Fu Rong naturally knew that the second sister-in-law Gu and the old lady Gu were fighting each other, and if she was in the body of the elder sister-in-law Gu, it would be very embarrassing.Boss Gu's eldest son is still the only child of the Gu family, and Mrs. Gu will definitely live with Boss Gu.Mrs. Gu is also a stepmother, and Mrs. Gu must be afraid that she will abuse Tianheng.Besides, Mrs. Gu's personality also likes to show off her mother-in-law's prestige, so how could she allow Mrs. Gu and the others to live separately.Mrs. Gu had this kind of character, so Fu Rong had no choice but to comfort her a little.Mrs. Gu just wanted to find someone to confide in, and after hearing this, it was fine.

This year passed very peacefully, although the second sister-in-law Gu made a small fuss, she didn't really hurt her peace, and Mrs. Gu didn't dare to make trouble in front of Mrs. Gu.There is Xiao Jiujiu in private, but there is nothing else.

The matter of Chun Juan'er was not settled before the festival.Furong didn't bother to inquire about it, but on the day she returned to her natal home, Aunt Liu also went back to her natal home, but Chunjuanniang came to the door, crying and begging Furong to save Chunjuan.Because of Chunjuanniang pinching Furong before, Gu Qingchen didn't let her see Furong at all, and sent her back forcefully.

After the festival, it was still cold and cold, with several snowfalls.Old Gu looked at the sky with a sullen face, and shook his head: "Don't sell this year's grain, this day, it's not right."

The weather really wasn't right. After these few snowfalls, it rained continuously.As a result, when it was time to raise the seedlings, the sun began to rise again, and it was sunny all day long.The seedlings grow fast, but the ground is dry.Papa Gu and the others waited for several days, but in the end they had no choice but to step on water trucks to irrigate the land.Who knew that after the car was flooded, it started to rain again that day.Repeatedly, the locusts devoured a large area of ​​crops at the beginning of summer, and when it was time to thresh the millet, it was cloudy and rainy again.This year's harvest is really bad.

Farmers depend on the weather to eat, and if the weather is bad, the harvest will directly affect whether they will go hungry or not.The harvest of Fu Rong's family has been reduced by about half compared to before. Fortunately, the family has a small population. She eats the food stored in the family last year first, and puts this year's food in the cellar first.Fortunately, the ground chestnuts are a winter thing. This year, Furong tried to attract some ground chestnuts and planted them by the stream behind Gu's house, surrounded by a bamboo fence, and let Mrs. Gu help take care of them on weekdays.Nothing went wrong, and Furong hired someone to help peel the skin, and the salary was still the same as the previous year.Gu Qingchen went to collect some more, and he had to look at each place he collected to taste the taste, and discarded the bad ones.In this way, it really looks like an assembly line.

It's just that everyone doesn't have much money in their hands, and the business of Furong's family is slightly worse than last year.But this morning, when Fu Rong and Gu Qingchen went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, they saw a family passing by with a lot of things in a carriage.The vegetable seller sighed: "There is another war! It only stopped for three or five years, and then it started to fight again. How can I pay money and food this year?"
