After the matchmaker He was driven away, the Zhao family thought it was over, but they thought it was over, but the Li Zugen family refused to let it go.
In fact, Li Zugen doesn't want to marry Zhao Jinge. He is very thin and small. If Zhao Jinge can be a head taller than him, standing together, others will think that he is a twin. In such a situation, he can see Zhao Jinge Weird.
But his family...
Li Zugen's father is as thin and small as him, and his mother is not very motivated. The eldest of the four children below is ten years old. He is still small, but he eats a lot.
They... can't just sit back and eat.
If there is another choice, the Li family will definitely not choose Zhao Jinge, but isn't there no other choice? Under the persuasion of his parents, Li Zugen gritted his teeth and finally agreed to marry Zhao Jinge, and then they had more actions.
After the matchmaker He was unfavorable, Li Zugen's mother, Li Liu, went into battle in person. She found the Zhao family, complaining and begging, to marry Zhao Jinge for her son.
Zhao Liu's family was naturally unwilling, but Li Zugen's mother was extremely resilient and would never give up until her goal was achieved.
And she is different from Matchmaker He. Matchmaker He had belittled Brother Zhao Jin at the beginning, but she almost praised Brother Zhao Jin to the sky, saying that she sincerely wanted Brother Zhao Jin to be her daughter-in-law, and she would definitely be good to Brother Zhao Jin in the future.
"Brother Jin, I have liked this kid since I was a child. If it wasn't for that bastard in my family who blindly fell in love with the surnamed Xu, Brother Jin would have already become my daughter-in-law."
"I see that there is nothing better than Brother Jin in this ten miles and eight villages. How can you dislike it? You can't listen to He matchmaker nonsense."
"Brother Jin went to our house, we will definitely treat him well, and we will never neglect him."
"Those four children will be recruited out in the future. Brother Jin entered the house and became the home. I'm sure his children are the most important."
…
This Li Liu family came to Zhao's house every day, and seemed very sincere, just like when they asked Zhao Jinge for marriage.
She was so sincere, and gradually, everyone in Hexi Village began to speak for her.
Although Zhao Liu does not like to communicate with people, there are still some people he knows in Hexi Village. The Zhao family is so lively these days, these people come to the Zhao family to watch the excitement, watch and persuade Zhao Liu. Come.
"Your brother Jin can't stay married forever."
"Look at the old bald man in the village who couldn't get a wife. He starved to death in his house the year before, and no one knew about him."
"This person is injured and sick, and there is always someone to help."
"The Zhao family is having a hard time now, but that's how it is. When Brother Jin gets married and helps him live his life, they can't thank Brother Jin for being good to Brother Jin?"
…
These people are not malicious, they persuade them so, and they really feel that way.
Zhao Liu's own is not a very firm person. She really didn't like Li Zugen before, but now listening to these people talking about it... She suddenly realized that Li Zugen... is not particularly bad.
Although their family is a mess, there is land anyway, as long as Brother Jin is willing to work, he will not be hungry. Moreover, the family is very thin, and Brother Jin can clean up people.
After Brother Jin gets married, maybe he can really live well
Zhao Liu thought so, that night, he spoke to Zhao Jinge: "Jin Geer, these days the Zhao family comes over every day..."
"Mother, I'm not going to marry." Brother Zhao Jin said with certainty, frowning at the same time.
Jiang Zhen went to sea goods. At first, he said he would go there for about five days, but now it has been more than ten days, why hasn't he come back? He had nowhere to inquire about Jiang Zhen's news, and he was worried that he couldn't do it, but he was entangled by the Li family again, and he was in a really bad mood.
Zhao Liushi sighed: "Brother Jin, mother knows that you are thinking about your parents, but you also have to think about the future..."
"Mother, I won't marry Li Zugen anyway." Brother Zhao Jin is very sure.
"Do you not want to be a stepmother or do you hate what his family did before?" Zhao Liu asked again.
"Neither." Brother Zhao Jin said that Li Zugen's withdrawal from his relatives didn't make him so uncomfortable. As for being a stepmother... He didn't feel anything.
"Then why?" Zhao Liu was puzzled.
Brother Zhao Jin hesitated for a moment before saying, "I don't like him." He now... likes Jiang Zhen.
When Zhao Liu heard such an answer, he was even more puzzled. After a while, he consciously understood: "Do you think he is too thin? Yes, he is too small!"
Brother Zhao Jin didn't like Li Zugen because of his size, of course, but Zhao Liu thought so, he recognized it and reiterated: "I won't marry him."
"Okay, Brother Jin, if you don't want to marry, forget it." Zhao Liu sighed.
Zhao Jinge breathed a sigh of relief.
On the other side, Jiang Zhen put away the stall, took a few bites of Wang Haisheng's meal, then got into the fishing boat full of fishy smell, and fell asleep.
Although he hired a half-old child to help these days, he was exhausted because of the work.
This sleep, Jiang Zhen didn't wake up until the sun rose the next morning.
When he was tense a few days ago, he was still able to hold on. Now that he relaxed, he felt a little weak in his hands and feet. Fortunately, they rested today.
In order to save money, Jiang Zhen and Wang Haisheng are sleeping on the boat these days, and they just cook some rice and kelp to eat, but today they are free and earn money, so there is no need to treat themselves badly.
After moving the food for cooking on the fire to the shore, Jiang Zhen and Wang Haisheng made a pot of rice, bought pork and fried vegetables, and ate two bowls each comfortably.
"You look at the boat, I'll go to the city to see." After eating, Jiang Zhen said to Wang Haisheng.
There are still some salted fish and kelp on their ship that they kept and did not sell, and planned to take them to Hecheng County. Someone must be watching.
Wang Haisheng responded, and Jiang Zhen went ashore and strolled around the city.
Compared with Hecheng County, this prefecture city is not sure how much bigger it is. Then, probably because it is located in the south of the Yangtze River, there is no tall and towering city wall, and the business is also very prosperous.
Before Jiang Zhen was in Hecheng County, he had inquired about the prices of various commodities. When he arrived here, he also had the cheek to inquire about the prices of the Fucheng. When he returned to Hecheng County, it was not easy to return empty boats. It's better to bring some goods back.
Some things in Fucheng are more expensive than Hecheng County, but some things are cheaper than Hecheng County. For example, the price of oil and some beautiful cloth here is much lower than that of Hecheng County.
The most profitable things this year are definitely luxury goods, but Jiang Zhen has no money to buy such goods at all, so he plans to choose those daily necessities that are cheaper than Hecheng County, buy them and bring them back.
Jiang Zhen wanted to enter oil more, but the oil extraction workshop at this time was not responsible for preparing oil filling tools for people who came to buy oil. He could not get oil barrels for oil in a while, nor He gave up buying oil, and went to a dye house to buy 30 taels of cloth.
After buying some oiled paper, carefully wrapping the cloth, and placing it on the rack of the fishing boat, Jiang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. The day was almost over.
Early the next morning, Jiang Zhen and Wang Haisheng set off for Hecheng County, and it was already dark when they arrived at Hecheng County this time.
It was getting dark, so Jiang Zhen didn't rush back to Hexi Village, but slept on the boat for another night. Early the next morning, he took the cloth to the cloth shop in the county town.
There are two cloth shops in Hecheng County, one is slightly smaller and the other is slightly larger. These two cloth shops have collected their own cloths, dyed them in their own shops, and sold them. The cloths they sell are also very common, with only a few colors.
However, they occasionally go out to buy goods, so when Jiang Zhen brought the cloth to the door, they also took it, but the profit here was not much, and the cloth for thirty taels of silver was sold for thirty-two taels as soon as it changed hands. That's it.
This trip out for half a month, Jiang Zhen made a total of 22 taels of silver. If others knew about this, those people would probably be jealous. After all, Jiang Chengxiang's errand before, only made 22 taels of silver a month, and Zhao Jinge did it for others. A year of long-term work, it is only three or four.
But this is actually not much, and the purchasing power is equivalent to 20,000 yuan in later generations.
After packing the money, Jiang Zhen went to buy five catties of pork, and then went to Hexi Village.
It was noon when Jiang Zhen arrived at Hexi Village. In the morning, he only spent two cents on the city pier and drank two large bowls of porridge. He was already hungry and homesick.
Together with Wang Haisheng, he carried the remaining kelp and salted fish on a load, and Jiang Zhen walked to the village. He was thinking about Brother Zhao Jin. Although he was very hungry, he made a special detour to the land of the big family of Zhao. Brother Zhao Jin, who was always working in the fields, was not here today.
Jiang Zhen walked to the house in a bit of a loss, planning to cook a meal for Zhao Jinge and then go to Zhao Jinge, but he didn't want to be near his home, and he saw Zhao Jinge.
There were a lot of people around the Zhao family for some reason, and there was a short man who was pulling at Zhao Jinge... Seeing that the man actually grabbed Zhao Jinge's hand, Jiang Zhen's heart suddenly became angry.
Someone dared to molest his man! Really do not die!
Jiang Zhen was not too happy anymore, but he heard someone say: "Brother Jin, Li Zugen is also sincere, so you can marry!"
"Teng", the flames in Jiang Zhen's heart suddenly became a sea of flames. For the past half month, in order to do business, he has been suppressing his temperament outside, but now he can't hold it anymore and throws down the burden he is carrying , Jiang Zhen rushed over with a shoulder pole.
Brother Zhao Jin is actually very popular at the moment.
He had been working very well with Zhao Dahu today, but he didn't expect to be halfway through, when suddenly a thin man with four children came. She even called her mother when she came up!
Hearing that motherfucker, Zhao Jinge's face turned dark, and at the same time he recognized the man - who was it if it wasn't Li Zugen
Although Jiang Zhen sometimes looks like a slut, he is very energetic, but this person is different. He is thin and small, and obviously a bit wretched.
The most important thing is that when Jiang Zhen looked at him, his eyes were full of him, and he could see his blush and heartbeat, but this man was the exact opposite... Zhao Jinge met the man's dodging eyes, and then looked at the four children who were entangled in him. , I can't wait to learn Jiang Zhen to beat people.
It's just that although he has a lot of strength, he is a double child. When he was a child, he was brought up by Zhao Liu's family at home, so he has no experience of fighting with children of the same age. Later, he will not fight with others when he grows up. There is a feeling of being unable to start.
What's more, he was haunted by four children!
It took some effort for Zhao Jinge to rip the four children off himself, and he scolded Li Zugen in their cries for letting him leave, but Li Zugen refused to leave, so he got on Zhao Jinge, making him unable to continue working. .
When Zhao Dahu, who came to the field to check, saw this scene, he asked Zhao Jinge to go home to solve the problem. As a result, when Zhao Jinge returned home, Li Zugen came with the child, and called his mother to Zhao Liushi, saying that he wanted to live. Go to Zhao's house.
He is planning to rely on the Zhao family!
Zhao Fugui's work place is a little far, and he can't come back for a while. The villagers also persuaded him to marry that Li Zugen... Zhao Jinge clenched his fists and wanted to give that Li Zugen a fist, but he didn't want to. At this moment, he I saw Jiang Zhen, who was full of wind and dust.
