When she returned to the bedroom, Zhulan saw the silver coins on the table. She fiddled with her fingers and counted them. "There are actually three hundred coins."
Zhou Shuren touched his nose. It was obviously not him who did it, but he felt guilty. "The original body saved up private money for half of his life. I didn't mention it because I didn't think it was much. It was not intentional."
Zhu Lan asked meaningfully, "Do all married men like to hide their private money?"
"I definitely won't."
Zhou Shuren felt that he had a particularly strong desire to survive. Look at his quick reaction and firm attitude.
Zhulan felt uneasy for a moment. Zhou Shuren could only be his wife in this life. Was Zhou Shuren promising her
Zhulan quickly grabbed the silver and money, "Oh, the second brother's family is waiting for me to make cotton clothes, you, I'll go first."
Zhou Shuren was in a good mood and picked up the book. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. It was good that there was a reaction. He was just worried that the needle wouldn't be able to penetrate the nerves!
Zhulan calmed down after leaving the yard. She thought that Zhou Shuren must have made the promise so quickly because he was afraid of affecting their trust. Thinking of this, she despised herself.
In the afternoon, Zhulan took her daughter and Zhao to make cotton-padded clothes and quilts together. Fortunately, Zhao had work to do and was a focused person, so Zhulan stayed there with peace of mind, otherwise she would have run away long ago.
When it got dark inside, Zhulan's neck felt a little stiff, so she stretched it and prepared to continue making clothes tomorrow.
In ancient times, bamboo orchids still could not adapt to the indoor light. There was no glass, and the windows were not big to keep warm. Coupled with the thick window paper, you can imagine the brightness of the room. You had to light an oil lamp before it got dark outside, and the brightness of the oil lamp was not high, so reading and doing needlework was particularly tiring for the eyes.
Zhulan folded her cotton-padded clothes and paused before realizing, "Where is Li?"
She is at home. In the past few days, in order to keep her position as the eldest daughter-in-law, Li will definitely stay around her. She said that she always felt that something was missing!
Xue Han raised her head and said, "Mom, when I came here, I saw that my sister-in-law had gone out."
Even if I didn't say the rest, my mother would have guessed it.
Zhulan just remembered what she had forgotten, "By the way, why are all the women gathering at the entrance of the village today?"
Oh, by the way, the base of Zhoujia Village gossip is at the village entrance. She has never understood why they chose the village entrance when there is not even a shelter from the wind and light
Xue Han didn’t know whether to pretend to be injured and unable to go out, so she shook her head.
Zhao put away the needlework and thread. "Wang Laosi and his daughter came back with a lot of bags. People in the village are gossiping about how much money Wang Laosi made."
Zhulan was so happy shopping that she actually forgot about the father and daughter. As for how much she earned, Zhulan didn't care because it had nothing to do with the Zhou family.
It was time to cook dinner. Li came back with a reluctant look on her face. Seeing Zhulan decocting medicine, she felt guilty for a moment, then excited. "Mom, the Wang family is splitting up!"
Zhulan no longer relied on the novel, which had been changed beyond all recognition. She calmly accepted the early division of the family, "Has it been divided?"
Li glanced at the staple food and dishes her mother brought out and knew what would be cooked in the evening. A piece of pork belly was divided into three parts, one part was put with chili peppers, one part was with potatoes, and the last part was the one with the most fat and fried in oil. The staple food was pancakes and millet porridge.
Li was gossiping as she washed the vegetables, "It hasn't been divided yet, but it will be soon. Wang Zhangshi tried everything from crying, making a scene to threatening to hang herself, but Wang Laosi ignored her and is determined to divide the family property."
Zhulan ignored Li's regretful tone and asked, "What did Wang Laosi buy?"
Li said, "I bought twenty catties of rice and flour, and a lot of meat, I heard it was five catties, and a lot of fine cotton and cloth."
Zhulan calculated in her mind that two jars of kimchi weighed only thirty kilograms. Kimchi could only be sold for four cents at most, and the price in a restaurant would not be higher than the price of meat. The amount Wang Laosi's family bought far exceeded the income from the kimchi, so the recipe must have been sold.
By the time Wang Zhang makes it, it won't be long before everyone knows the recipe. The price of kimchi will drop, and restaurants will no longer buy from outside now that they know the recipe. Li's family made a lot of it, and if they don't sell it quickly, they will definitely lose money. Wang Ru made a one-time deal and cheated the Li family and Wang Zhang.
Zhulan wanted to break it down and analyze it for Li, but she swallowed it back and decided to let the eldest son take the matter back to his father-in-law's house.
After dinner, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren talked about Fangzi. Zhou Shuren called the eldest and the second oldest to accompany him to Li's house.
