Chapter 28
Ye smiled wryly: "With the money we can't even afford more expensive materials, we can only make a few pairs of ordinary shoes. How much can we sell ordinary shoes for? I'm afraid you haven't saved enough money yet. Dad is back."
This is true, Rong Lanxue frowned worriedly.
If you want to get a good price, you must at least have silk shoes, and the cheapest coarse silk costs fifteen yuan a foot.If you are making men's shoes or boots, you have to have one foot and two upwards, and if you are making women's shoes, you only need one foot, but women's shoes often have to be embroidered, so you have to buy extra silk thread.Cotton cloth is used to make shoe soles, which can be recycled by dismantling a piece of old clothes that are not worn.After calculation, the lowest cost price was seventeen cents, and the money in their hands was only ten cents.Moreover, a pair of thick silk shoes without any decorations can only be sold for [-] yuan at most. Even if Linjiang people are richer, they can only sell them for [-] yuan.Fifty coins, only five cents in silver, I'm afraid the yamen servant still doesn't like it.
It's really hard to move without money.Rong Lanxue and Mrs. Ye sat side by side under the wall, staring at the street in a daze.The shops on both sides of the street have already opened their doors, and they are in full swing at this time to attract business, and there are endless hawks and yells. There is also a man in a short coat sweeping snow, shoveling the residual ice with a shovel, and reminding passers-by to be careful of slippery feet.
They all seem so busy, happy and fulfilled, only their mother and daughter have skills, but they have to sit here and worry about money.Rong Lanxue thought about it, and suddenly felt that this kind of life was really not worth it, why not just go back to Rong's mansion, honestly make shoes, slowly save money, and then wait for Rong Tiancheng to come back and ask for years of living expenses and Dowry, everything is done.
It's just that Mrs. Ye is still deeply in love with Rong Tiancheng. She wants to have an honorable name, so she is definitely not willing to do so.Rong Lanxue sighed, and was at a loss again.
The mother and daughter thought for a long time, but they didn't think of a quick solution, so they had to stand up and prepare to go back to make shoes first, and then save enough money.The two were turning around and walking back, but they heard someone calling from behind: "You two stay behind!"
The voice sounded familiar, Ye looked back, and Larong Lanxue said, "It's that Jiang Zhiyuan."
Rong Lanxue turned around to take a look, no, it was Jiang Zhiyuan who wanted to enter Rong's mansion but couldn't.At this time, he was still wearing the old clothes, but he had an extra bamboo bag on his back, obviously he hadn't entered Rong's house yet.
Jiang Zhiyuan quickly walked in front of them, cupped his hands and saluted, and said: "Just now I got the help of the two of you, but I still don't know how to call them."
"I didn't help you again, so what's there to mention." Ye Shi felt a little sorry, "My surname is Ye, and this is my daughter, surnamed Rong." She thought that Rong Tiancheng was a big family in Linjiang, so Rong Lanxue said She is also a young lady, so she only mentioned her surname, and did not tell him Rong Lanxue's boudoir name.
"So it's Auntie Ye and Miss Rong." Jiang Zhiyuan saluted again, and said, "I just saw you two sitting on the side of the road in a daze, did you encounter any problems?"
Ye's face flushed, and he said: "The rough people from our village just sat on the spot and made Mr. Jiang laugh. In fact, it's nothing to say, it's that..."
She was about to say that the yamen servant was too high-sighted and looked down on her copper coins, when she was interrupted by Rong Lanxue: "Country people come to the city and their pockets are shy, and they can't afford this one, nor can they afford that one." It's really annoying." Jiang Zhiyuan didn't know them well, and according to him, he was a relative of the Jiang family, so it's better not to tell him about the yamen, what if it spreads to the Rong's mansion?
Mrs. Ye also came back to her senses, and said: "Yes, if you don't have money, you really can't afford anything. Let's go back to make shoes and go shopping after we have saved enough money."
But Jiang Zhiyuan was very kind-hearted. Hearing this, he started to rummage through his purse, took out a few pieces of silver, and handed it to Mrs. Ye, saying: "I have some money here. Although it is not much, it should be enough to buy some odds and ends. Auntie Ye and Miss Rong will use it first."
Why is he so generous?They were strangers.Mrs. Ye was surprised and suspicious at the same time. It is impossible for someone in this world to be so kind to you for no reason. There must be some intention.Rong Lanxue thought the same as she did, and looked at Jiang Zhiyuan warily.
Jiang Zhiyuan sensed their hostility, and hurriedly said, "To be honest, I have something to ask for your help."
Sure enough, there is something to ask for.Instead, Ye Shi and Rong Lanxue felt relieved.Mrs. Ye asked him: "What's the matter with you? If we can help, we will help. As for the money, let's forget it. Although we are poor, we don't rely on it to make a living."
Jiang Zhiyuan said: "No matter what I say, the guard at the door of your mansion just refuses to let me in. I would like to ask you two to come and talk to my cousin after returning home."
Mrs. Ye thought for a while, and said: "It's not difficult to help you, but I can't guarantee that she will let you in, after all, she won't listen to me."
Jiang Zhiyuan was very happy, and saluted again and again: "I am so grateful!" Then, he forced the silver into Ye's hand, and said: "Although I am poor, I still brought some silver with me before going out. Take the money and use it first."
Mrs. Ye insisted on refusing to take it, and said: "It's just a little effort, and I can't guarantee that I will succeed. If I take your money, what am I?"
Jiang Zhiyuan had no choice but to say: "That's what I lent you, and when you have money, you can pay me back."
Only then did Mrs. Ye reluctantly agree, and insisted on borrowing a scale from a shop on the street together with him, weighed the silver, agreed to pay him back this amount, and then accepted the silver.
These few pieces of silver are worth two cents, more than enough for the yamen servants. Ye is full of joy, wishing to run to the gate of the government immediately, but he doesn't want Jiang Zhiyuan to see him, and wants to let him go first, but it's not good It's not difficult to speak, she thought that Rong Lanxue had always been tricky, so she winked at her frequently.
Rong Lanxue understood, and said to Jiang Zhiyuan: "Young Master Jiang, you might as well go back to the gate of the Rong Mansion and wait, otherwise your cousin finally allowed you to go in, but you are not here, isn't it a missed opportunity?"
Jiang Zhiyuan even said yes, said goodbye to them, and strode away with his bags on his back.
Seeing his back disappearing around the corner of the street, Mrs. Ye immediately pulled Rong Lanxue and ran towards the gate of the government mansion. While running, she asked, "Xue'er, is it not kind of us to do this?"
Rong Lanxue wondered: "We don't steal or rob, we just borrowed a few dollars, why are we not being kind?"
Mrs. Ye muttered: "I mean...Mr. Jiang may clearly not want to see Jiang Zhiyuan, but we still want to help him..."
Rong Lanxue smiled slyly: "Wouldn't it be better if she could add trouble to the Jiang family, then she won't be able to distract herself from our affairs."
"That's true." Ye's eyes lit up, without any hesitation, he ran to the gate of the official mansion, took out a piece of silver, and wanted to hand it to the yamen servant.But Rong Lanxue pressed her hand and motioned for her to take out the few pieces of silver that Jiang Zhiyuan gave just now.
Mrs. Ye refused, and whispered: "Xue'er, that's all our silver, and I gave it to him. What if the official in charge also wants to send money?"
Rong Lanxue sighed and said, "Mother, a yamen servant who looks after the door has such high eyesight, how can the clerk in charge see these pieces of silver?"
"Then what should we do?" Mrs. Ye was in trouble again.
Rong Lanxue said: "Let me try, there is nothing I can do anyway." If you can't defeat each one, it's better to concentrate your firepower to one point.
Mrs. Ye hesitated, but still took out all the money and handed it to her.
Rong Lanxue took the money, stepped forward and said to the yamen servant: "Brother official servant, we want to inquire about the procedures for re-issuing the marriage certificate. You are a servant in this government office and have a lot of experience. You must know it, so let us know." Well, my mother and I can’t thank you enough.” Saying that, he hid a few broken pieces of silver in his sleeve and handed them over.
The yamen servant stretched out his hand and picked it up this time, with a smile on his face, and said: "I'll help you go in and ask, wait."
It's done!Rong Lanxue breathed a sigh of relief, and thanked the yamen servant with a smile.
Seeing the yamen servant go in, Mrs. Ye was pleasantly surprised: "He promised to help us find out?"
Rong Lanxue nodded.
After a while, the yamen servant came out again, and sure enough, he inquired about the procedures for re-issuing the marriage certificate, and told them: "If you have a file in the government, just bring your family's household registration card and go to make up one." Yes, it not only records the identity of this family, but also indicates the relationship between each person.
Rong Lanxue was very pleasantly surprised that it was so simple to make up the marriage certificate, and immediately asked Mrs Ye: "Mother, did you bring your account when you came to Jiangxi?"
Ye's face showed a wry smile: "I did bring it, but the account post only has the names of our mothers and daughters, not your father's. He was going to go out to do business, so he transferred the household registration away."
"It doesn't matter if it's not on the same account." The yamen servant took the initiative to answer the words, "It's okay to find the original matchmaker and ask her to issue a certificate. If the original matchmaker is gone or can't be found, the same goes for the officiant. If the officiant can't be found, the parents of both parties are also fine. If no witnesses can be found, the letter of engagement from that year will do the trick."
Rong Lanxue understood that as long as there is someone or something to prove that they are husband and wife, it is not difficult, so she turned her attention to Mrs. Ye.
Mrs. Ye was thinking. After thinking for a while, a smile appeared on her face, and she nodded towards Lan Xue.It seems that the matter of making up the marriage certificate has been settled, Rong Lanxue cheered up, thanked the yamen servant together with Mrs. Ye, and walked back happily.
On the way, Mrs. Ye said to Rong Lanxue: "Xue'er, your father and I were matchmakers at the east end of the village. Although the aunt is gone now, the village head who will marry is still there. I want to go back and ask The village chief will write a certificate for me, and then go to the town government office to complete the marriage certificate before returning to Linjiang County."
This is a good idea, the re-issue of the marriage certificate is to be done before Rong Tiancheng comes back, otherwise there will be too many variables.Rong Lanxue nodded.
The decision was made, the mother and daughter went to see Jiang after they returned to Rong's mansion, and lied to her, saying that they met a villager from Rong's village on the street, and she was very anxious when she heard that Ye's natal brother was ill, so she wanted to He rushed back to have a look, and only left Rong Lanxue here to wait for Rong Tiancheng to come back.
When Jiang heard that she was going to leave, she was a little happy. She only said that her brother's illness was a serious matter, and immediately ordered someone to pack a few packets of medicinal materials to send to her.It was still early at this time, Ye Shi didn't want to delay, after telling Rong Lanxue, she took the medicinal materials and went out. She first found a pawnshop to pawn the medicinal materials, then found a car, and headed towards Rong's Village.Before leaving, she told Jiang Shi what Jiang Zhiyuan had entrusted to her, but Jiang pushed it on Rong Tiancheng, saying that he had to nod before he could let Jiang Zhiyuan in. Ye Shi was grateful to Jiang Zhiyuan, so she made up her mind. After seeing Rong Tiancheng, mention this matter to him.

Ye smiled wryly: "With the money we can't even afford more expensive materials, we can only make a few pairs of ordinary shoes. How much can we sell ordinary shoes for? I'm afraid you haven't saved enough money yet. Dad is back."
This is true, Rong Lanxue frowned worriedly.
If you want to get a good price, you must at least have silk shoes, and the cheapest coarse silk costs fifteen yuan a foot.If you are making men's shoes or boots, you have to have one foot and two upwards, and if you are making women's shoes, you only need one foot, but women's shoes often have to be embroidered, so you have to buy extra silk thread.Cotton cloth is used to make shoe soles, which can be recycled by dismantling a piece of old clothes that are not worn.After calculation, the lowest cost price was seventeen cents, and the money in their hands was only ten cents.Moreover, a pair of thick silk shoes without any decorations can only be sold for [-] yuan at most.
