As soon as these two people stepped into Wang's house, Wang Wenhe's mother-in-law, Wang Shenshi, poured a basin of dirty water that was just in her hand towards them, cursing: "It's busy farming, why don't you?" Stop, what's the matter, wait until the busy farming is over!"
The busy farming season has already begun, and this is the busiest time for every household. Wang Chen, who didn't want to see Mrs. Wang's family, was naturally furious when she saw them in this situation. Mrs. Wang's anger also came up. Wang Chunxiu pulled her mother and said, "Auntie, my mother and I have something to do with the patriarch, so we came here because we had no other choice."
Wang Shen said very shamelessly: "What's the matter? Are you here again to ask for money or to ask for someone to plant land for your family? I'll talk about Chunxiu, and you can also talk about your pine trees. Your second brother and sister-in-law are not here. You can't just rely on others to do the work in the field, and no one owes you anything. My brother Yan knows how to go to the field to help when he is only ten years old, and your branch pine can get married. What's the point of hiding at home during the busy farming season? What? You are also at the age of marriage, not to mention helping out, you still have time to run to my house, your family is not going to grow spring food, is it? "
Wang Wenhe is not at home, Wang Shenshi will not give face to Mrs. Wang and Wang Chunxiu. Wang Chunxiu was so talked about that she couldn't come down to the stage. Mrs. Wang said directly: "The patriarch is not here, so I will go to the field to find him."
"Go, let's go." Wang Chenshi was annoyed with them, and immediately chased them away.
After getting a bad nose at Wang Chenshi, Mrs. Wang took Wang Chunxiu to look for Wang Wenhe in the field with a dark face. Halfway there, I ran into Wang Wenhe who was coming back. Wang Wenhe also heard that Mrs. Wang took Wang Chunxiu to his house, so he hurried back.
As soon as she saw Wang Wenhe, Wang Chunxiu began to wipe away tears, and Mrs. Wang also started to cry, and the busy people around looked over. Wang Wenhe was also very impatient, so he suppressed his temper and took the two of them home again. When Wang Chenshi saw it, she smashed it in the yard, pointing and cursing at Mrs. Wang for not worrying about it, and not saying anything about it during the busy farming season.
Mrs. Wang and Wang Chunxiu pretended not to hear, and Wang Wenhe's time was precious during the busy farming season, so she opened her mouth and asked, "What's the matter? It's busy farming, why do I only see Dali alone in your field?"
Mrs. Wang immediately cried and wiped her tears: "Patriarch, you have to find someone to help my family. My family is working hard now, what can Chunxiu and I do?"
Wang Wenhe said with a dark face: "Why can't Chunxiu do it? She is not a lady of a rich family, and she will be a young lady in the future? Whose daughter in the village does not work in the fields? She will go to work when Wang Ni is around." Help in the field, she can't do it alone as a sister-in-law?"
Wang Chunxiu couldn't hold back anymore, tears streaming down her face. Wang Wenhe couldn't say to let Wang Zhisong go, but he couldn't see Wang Chunxiu being that rich lady who was obviously from a peasant family.
Mrs. Wang's face has always been invincible. She cried and said, "Chunxiu can do so much work even if she goes to the field. I have to pay for her to see a doctor when she is exhausted. Patriarch, it's not me who wants to make trouble. The family is in a certain place." There is no one to work in the field, and there is no one in the family to help. That family buys houses and land, cattle and sheep. Even if you give me ten taels of silver, I can hire someone. He has money to give to the village People don't have money to give me this mother?"
Wang Chunxiu echoed from the side: "My elder brother just gave away a few taels of silver. If it weren't for him, the second brother and the second sister-in-law would be able to work in the fields now, and the family would not be in trouble."
Wang Wenhe held his breath in his chest, unable to go up or down, and uttered a sentence: "If someone works for Ishii, if Ishii can't pay, what do you mean by giving away? Are you going to deny the contract again? Don't you think it's not enough?"
Wang Chunxiu said: "This is a riot. No matter how much the contract is written, can he really deny his parents? He can ignore me and Zhisong, but he can't ignore his parents!"
Wang Wenhe glared at Mrs. Wang, and said, "If you make a fuss about taking back the fields and houses, can Ishii ignore you? Once the fields and houses are taken back, even if you are justified, you will be unreasonable. Ishii insisted on the contract. How do you ask for money?"
Mrs. Wang said without thinking, "It's not that the patriarch asked you to write that. I don't agree with the separation of the family at all."
Wang Wenhe almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. Mrs. Wang Chen kicked in the door, pointed at Mrs. Wang, and started cursing: "You shameless old man, why did you give birth to such a family of shameless people? You kicked your son out of the house, and if you want money, you can come to my house." , you are shameless, my family is shameless! You old bastard, why don't you die!"
Wang Chen came up with a broom and beat them. Mrs. Wang and Wang Chunxiu were frightened by Wang Chen's posture. The old lady Wang howled and shouted: "Patriarch! Take care of your crazy woman!"
Wang Wenhe's hands were shaking, but unexpectedly he didn't scold his daughter-in-law. The broom in Wang Chen's hand hit Mrs. Wang and Wang Caijuan mercilessly. Seeing that the patriarch didn't care, Mrs. Wang grabbed the frightened Wang Chunxiu and ran outside, and Wang Chen chased her all the way out. Wang Wenhe sat down on the stool, covered his face, and let out a long sigh.
Wang Shenshi beat Mrs. Wang and Wang Caijuan so far away that no one in the village could pay attention. Wang Chenshi was puzzled, put his hands on his hips and started cursing again. Now the villagers knew what was going on. Wang Dali, who was busy driving cows in the field, soon heard gossip. His back was even more bent, and he continued to work in silence.
Mrs. Wang and Wang Caijuan ran home in embarrassment, and Wang Zhisong immediately asked what happened. Wang Zhisong's expression darkened a lot when he heard that the two of them not only sought support from the patriarch but failed, but were also beaten out by Wang Shenshi. He took a few deep breaths, secretly acquiesced in supporting his mother to do this, but on the surface he could only continue to persuade him not to ask Wang Shijing for money. Mrs. Wang didn't agree when she heard it. People in the clan should help, so why should they give money.
Now Wang Dali is the only one with a cow in the field, and neither Wang Zhisong nor Wang Chunxiu wants to help. Mrs. Wang didn't dare to go to the patriarch for the time being. She wanted to go to Wang Shijing's place to make trouble, but there was a powerful Shao Yun'an, and she was afraid that Shao Yun'an would go to the county school to make trouble again. If that happened, Wang Zhisong might really be doomed. After thinking about it, Mrs. Wang asked Wang Chunxiu to ask Wang Shijing for money. Wang Chunxiu is always a girl, or a girl. Unexpectedly, as soon as she said this, Wang Chunxiu was beaten to death and hid in the house. She was afraid that Shao Yunan would yell everywhere that she seduced him.
Wang Chunxiu refused to go, and he had to do field work, otherwise what would his family eat and drink next year. Mrs. Wang was also half dead with anger. In the end, Mrs. Wang dragged out Wang Chunxiu and Wang Zaizheng, asking them to go to the field together. Mrs. Wang couldn't bear to be tired of Wang Zhisong. Wang Zhisong was a man who was going to be the number one scholar. How could he do lowly farm work. Wang Chunxiu cried as soon as she heard it, and she didn't want to go. Mrs. Wang slapped her and dragged her away, along with Wang Zaizheng, who was also crying and refused to go to the ground.
The matter of the Wang family has become a joke again. Wang Wen returned to the peace, but seeing that Wang Dali was alone in the Wang family's field, and the old lady Wang, Wang Chunxiu and Wang Zaizheng who joined later, he still called on the clansmen to help as the patriarch. But to his surprise, not only was no one willing not to speak up, but the people who were too embarrassing to say no to him also refused outright. Lizheng’s family collects red dates and hawthorns. The family has to allocate manpower to pick red dates and hawthorns. Those who are not from Xiushui Village have to go back to harvest. The Zheng family and Wang Shijing’s family here harvest fruits and tea. People have made some money because of this, but they really can't spare any manpower. Going to Mrs. Wang's house to help not only didn't bring in any money, but they didn't even drool. If they had that time, they might as well charge more red dates and hawthorns in exchange for money.
Originally, as the patriarch of Wang Wenhe, his words had certain authority and compulsion. But this time, the clansmen were unwilling to listen to him, even the elders of the clan didn't show up. The clan's hometown also needs to make money. Who doesn't want their family to earn more money to send their children to study. If their own children can read good books, who would look at Wang Zhisong eagerly. Wang Wenhe hadn't realized that the clansmen were no longer willing to obey some of his unreasonable demands. Because Mrs. Wang's family is really not good at life. In fact, if Wang Zhisong is willing to come forward and be polite to the clansmen, everyone is from the same village and from another clan, and there will definitely be someone willing to help. But when Wang Zhisong came back, let alone being polite to the clansmen, he was just like a big girl who didn't leave the house and didn't go out. He didn't come forward for anything at home.
Seeing his father's hunched figure in an instant, Wang Shuping couldn't bear to persuade his father to go home. After returning home from work that night, Wang Shuping had another good talk with his father. Let my father understand that Wang Shijing and Shao Yun'an are not the only ones who are dissatisfied with the Wang family. The attitude of the clan members has already explained everything. Now there are only two options for Mrs. Wang's family: either plant the land by herself, or hire someone else. Don't even think about the money from Wang Shijing, even if Wang Shijing is willing to give it, Shao Yun'an will never give it. Didn't you see that the money Wang Shijing went out to collect tea was all given by Shao Yun'an? The two got married not long ago, but now everyone knows that Shao Yun'an is in charge of Wang Shijing's family.
Wang Wenhe was frustrated and lost. It would be a lie if Mrs. Wang said that she was so out of breath. If nothing else is said, Mrs. Wang called his daughter-in-law a crazy woman, and Wang Wenhe was also furious. But anyway, he is also the patriarch. In the end, Wang Wenhe took three taels of silver to Wang Shuping, and asked him to give it to Mrs. Wang, and let them hire people to go to the fields. Wang Shen was so angry that she cried, and Wang Shuping hurriedly pulled her mother out. Wang Shuping's daughter-in-law also had an opinion, but she couldn't express it to her father-in-law, so she simply hid in the house.
Wang Shuping persuaded his mother not to be angry, and his father would figure it out one day. Wang Chenshi listened to her son the most, and her grandson persuaded her. Wang Chenshi stopped crying, but she was still unhappy and went back to the house. Wang Shuping sighed and went to deliver the money alone. Wang Shuping's son, Wang Yan, ran out of the house after his father left, and went to Lizheng's house to look for Zhao Congbo.
Wang Shuping sent three taels of silver, and told Mrs. Wang the two ways. The three taels of silver were collected by the family to hire people for them. Mrs. Wang accepted Wang Shuping's black face with a happy smile. Wang Zhisong didn't show up during the period, let alone thanked him. Wang Dali shoved him embarrassedly, and was glared back by Mrs. Wang. Wang Shuping left sullenly. When he got home, he asked his daughter-in-law to take three or two private houses and secretly gave them to his mother.
Wang Shuping did not separate the family, but Wang Wenhe and Wang Shen didn't mind their son and daughter-in-law having private houses. After all, sons and daughter-in-law often used their private houses to subsidize their families. Wang Shenshi accepted the silver, but put it in the private silver kept for his grandson. She figured it out. Before her husband figured it out, the money in the family was really not safe. While Wang Wenhe was still outside, Wang Shenshi changed all the money in the house and hid it, not giving Wang Wen a single coin. and find.
The joke about Mrs. Wang's family did not reach Shao Yun'an's ears until the third day, and it was when Fourth Aunt Wang came to deliver fresh leaves to Shao Yun'an on the third day. The busy farming season began, but Wang Shijing was not in a hurry to go to the fields. Shao Yun'an asked him to rest, and there was still a large push of goat's milk fruit at home to make wine. Wang Shijing's focus this year is not on farming, and he will be fine for a few days at night. After making fruit wine, he will go to the county to find someone to build a house, and then hire a few short-term laborers to plant the land.
When the tea was harvested, Wang Xing, Sun Erjiang, Sun Xiaojiang and Wang Zhuanghua followed Wang Shijing all the time. Aunt Wang's natal family is far from Xiushui Village. Wang Shijing didn't go there to collect them. But Fourth Aunt Wang still asked Wang Xing to go back, not to mention whether she could pick tea. The skill of picking tea was taught to her natal family, and wouldn't she also benefit her natal family in the future. Wang Shijing said that tea will be harvested every spring in the future. Wang Xing went back for three days and took her uncle's family up the mountain to look for tea. They really found more than a dozen old tea trees. After Wang Xing picked the tea leaves, he hurried back. No, as soon as he came back, Fourth Aunt Wang asked him to rest, and she came to deliver the tea.
Wang Xing didn't pick much, only more than 30 catties of fresh leaves, and there were not many high-quality fresh leaves. Fourth Aunt Wang didn't ask Shao Yunan for money. Her mother's family sent it over after picking it. Shao Yun'an gave the thirty-odd catties of fresh leaves to Fourth Aunt Wang according to the price of medium fresh leaves, 80 Wen per catty, which made Fourth Aunt Wang very embarrassed. During the chat between the two, Fourth Aunt Wang told Shao Yun'an what happened at Mrs. Wang's house.
Shao Yun'an said with a half-smile: "They have no way to ask for a copper coin from my house. Brother Jing has no money. If they want it, they can come to me."
Fourth Aunt Wang smiled cheerfully: "I don't think they dare. If you make trouble at the county school again, Wang Zhisong will never want to study." If she asked her, Shao Yun'an's move was really ruthless, and it was enough to relieve her anger.
After laughing, Fourth Aunt Wang hesitated to speak. Seeing this, Shao Yun'an asked, "Fourth Aunt, what's the matter? Just talk."
Fourth Aunt Wang hesitated for a long time, then asked in a low voice: "Yun'an, Lizheng's house collects so many red sour fruits and peaches, do they make jam? I heard that someone in the county buys jam, and the price is expensive." Taller."
Sure enough, it has already started. Shao Yun'an didn't hide anything, and said, "Yes. I sold the method of making jam to Uncle Zhao, and now they have signed a contract with Yizhangxuan to sell the jam to Yizhangxuan."
Fourth Aunt Wang shut up, she really couldn't say much about this matter, but she would definitely feel a little disappointed. Shao Yun'an smiled and said, "Fourth aunt, originally I wanted Brother Jing to ask you to come over and talk to you after the busy farming season. But if you ask, I'll tell you the truth first. I'll sell the method of jam Giving it to Uncle Zhao is actually asking Uncle Zhao to take the lead for us. Only in this way can we earn money in the future."
"Ah?" Fourth Aunt Wang was stunned, her heart beating half a beat slower.
Shao Yunan said: "Brother Jing and I have actually figured out a lot of small ways to make money. We planned to make this jam ourselves. But my family is small, and this jam is too troublesome to make. It's okay to make a snack on weekdays. Brother Jing and I must be exhausted to do business. Another point is that my family is already big enough to attract attention. If we sell jam and earn money, let alone Mrs. Wang’s family, everyone in the village has to worry about it. Brother Jing and his family are weak, so how can we stand it at that time. So I discussed with Brother Jing that the house of this jam will be sold to Uncle Zhao. Uncle Zhao’s family has made money, and there must be people who are jealous, but who dares to go to Uncle Zhao’s house Trouble?"
Fourth Aunt Wang nodded.
"When Uncle Zhao settles down the villagers, it will be much safer for us to follow closely behind to make money. Brother Jing and I collect so much tea, in fact, we want to do the tea business. But the skill of making tea is my own. The secrets of Brother Jing cannot be sold, but we have other small businesses, and several of you will have them at that time. We will keep in mind those who are kind to my family and Brother Jing, and we will repay them. Now that the farming season is busy, I teach you that you don’t have the time to do it, why don’t we sit down and discuss it after the busy farming season.”
Fourth Aunt Wang's eyes brightened, "Yun'an, is what you said true?"
"Of course. If it weren't for the fear that your fourth aunt would lose control, I would definitely be the first to give you this jam recipe."
Fourth Aunt Wang immediately felt guilty: "Yun'an, don't think so, Fourth Aunt is just asking. After you and Ishii got married, you have helped our family a lot. Fourth Aunt is not greedy for money that we shouldn't make."
Shao Yun'an said: "Fourth Aunt, it's nothing if a family or two in the village are rich, it takes most people to be rich. Not to mention anything else, if every family has money, do you still need to count on Wang Zhisong? Not for ourselves, but for our descendants, we must also find ways to earn money. Fourth Aunt, Brother Jing and I are not only doing this to repay our kindness, but also for ourselves. If there are more rich people in the village, there will be less money. Many people are only staring at our house. Fourth Aunt, you can help me bring this word to Uncle Sun, Zhuang Hua, and Aunt Zhou. Brother Jing and I will treat everyone to dinner after the busy farming season is over."
Fourth Aunt Wang wiped the corners of her eyes: "Hey! Hey! Fourth Aunt is not polite to you anymore. Fourth Aunt will follow you and Ishii to earn money and live a good life. When Kyoko has a son, she will send him to study."
"That's it."
Fourth Aunt Wang left excitedly, and Wang Qing and Wang Ni approached from the next door. As soon as Wang Qing came over, he said, "Little Daddy, I will study hard and get a good reputation."
Shao Yun'an chuckled, and patted Wang Qing's head: "Why did you say that suddenly?"
Wang Qing pursed his lips, and continued to say: "I have achieved fame, so my dad won't be afraid of other people's classics. Our family has made money, and we don't have to be afraid of my uncle."
Shao Yunan hehe Xiaoxiao: "Okay! Be ambitious! Our family will depend on you in the future, you have to study hard. If you can't read well, my little dad will beat you up."
"I will study hard!"
Wang Ni continued: "Little Daddy, you can also teach me the craft, I will also make money in the future."
Shao Yun'an couldn't help but hugged Wang Ni and pinched her face: "Okay. When Nizi grows up, my little dad will teach you how to spend money and how to earn money. From now on, we Nizi will have our own business. If your husband dares not If you are obedient, deduct his money and make him a pauper."
Wang Ni blushed. Shao Yunan laughed, and squeezed Wang Ni's face again: "When your father finishes his busy work, my little father will take you to the county town to buy some jewelry and some nice clothes for you, and dress us up as little beauties. "When Shao Yunan came back that day, Aunt Zhou had Nizi's ears pierced. The first time she wore jewelry, it was a beautiful white jade earring, and Nizi didn't dare to sleep.
Nizi was so ashamed that she buried her head in her little daddy's arms, and refused to come out no matter what, which made Shao Yun'an laugh again, even Wang Qing laughed. Even when his father and mother were around, he and Nizi had never been so happy. Wang Qing likes little daddy, and hopes that little daddy will never leave, and don't abandon him and Nizi like his mother did.
