Nuan Nuan watched Lei Shi run out and knew that she had been eavesdropping.
As for Lei, Nuan Nuan also knew from the memory of the original owner that she loved to rip off her parents' family, and even stole money from her husband's family to pay off her brother's debts. This was something she overheard when her grandmother cried in front of her mother.
Nuan Nuan looked at the direction she left thoughtfully.
Wen Jiarui also saw Mr. Lei running away, so he took out ten taels of silver: "Dad, I came here this time to order more bricks and tiles, and to buy some large pottery jars. This is the deposit, you keep it." "
Old man Wu pushed the silver away angrily: "No need for silver, it's all made by me and your elder brother! It's just a small effort, and it doesn't cost money. You keep it! No one buys those big pottery jars, they are all piled up there. It’s been a few years, if you find it useful, take it back!”
His daughter is building a house, and he helps out with some effort and collects money. What is that!
Wu Qihua: "Brother-in-law, keep the money, don't you think of us as brothers?"
Wu Qiye also said: "Yes, the family does not need money, that is, they help each other."
Seeing their repeated refusals, Wen Nuan said: "Grandfather, uncle, uncle, please accept the money! You have helped our family so much over the years, which cannot be measured in money. My eldest cousin and eldest cousin have also reached the age of proposing marriage. The money is in need of money at home. This money is not wages, but a little thought from my parents. If you refuse, they will be upset! Besides, shouldn’t a family help each other? "
Wu: "Mom and dad, don't you think I'm your daughter and don't accept any filial piety from you?"
"Old man, take it!" Mrs. Zhang said after hearing this.
My daughter knows it herself and is thinking of her!
After hearing this, Old Man Wu accepted it. The family really needed money. As for proposing marriage, no one dared to propose marriage to their family even with the second daughter-in-law here.
Zhang asked again: "When will the groundbreaking be started?"
Wen Jiarui said: "The 19th day is the day when the groundbreaking begins."
"That's coming soon. We have to make bricks and tiles quickly. When the time comes, your father will take your eldest and second brothers to help. Anyway, the workshop at home has no business, so if you are idle, you will be idle!"
Then everyone talked for a while and didn't stay for lunch. Wen Jiarui left, saying that they were going to the county.
Old man Wu knew that they were busy and did not keep him around. After they left, he asked his two sons to send two carts of bricks to Wenjia Village.
Nuan Nuan secretly stuffed Zhang a fifty-tael banknote.
Most of the reason why my grandfather's family is having a hard time is because of the Lei family, but it's also because of the original owner.
In the past, whenever they knew that the original owner needed valuable medicinal materials and had no money to buy them, the two uncles would deliver them in time.
Their family is also doing their best to help their own family.
For this kind of kindness, giving fifty taels is far from enough, but teaching someone to fish is not as good as teaching someone to fish.
She has already thought of how to make her grandfather's family rich.
Wen Nuan and Wen Jiarui went to the county. Because the Wu Qiye brothers helped deliver two carts of bricks to their house, Wu went home with her two brothers first.
After the Nuan family left, Lei Shi came back. She immediately went into the house to see the gifts, but Mrs. Zhang asked Mrs. Ye to move them all into her house and lock them!
Lei Shi curled his lips and felt unhappy: "You are guarding me as much as you are guarding against thieves!"
She regretted that she was so happy just now and ran back to her parents' home.
Zhang didn't say anything, thinking to herself, is she not a thief
Those pieces of fabric were of such good quality that she planned to leave them to her granddaughter to store in the bottom of the box. She must not let the second daughter-in-law steal them back to pay off her brother's gambling debt!
It’s just that Mrs. Zhang didn’t expect that it would be difficult to guard against house thieves by guarding against day and night!
—
It was almost noon when Nuan Nuan and Wen Jiarui arrived at the county town.
Today is the market day in the county town. The streets are very lively, and every small noodle shop and restaurant is full of people.
The county's auction house started at three-quarters past noon, and the deadline for receiving auction items was two-quarters of an hour before the auction started. It was almost time.
Seeing this, Nuan Nuan said: "Dad, let's buy some steamed buns to eat! Save some time."
"good."
Wen Jiarui bought three meat buns from the bun shop with the most people queuing up on the street.
The meat buns are big and full of ingredients, but not as delicious as the warm ones.
"These buns are not as delicious as the ones at home!" Wen Jiarui commented after finishing the two meat buns in a few bites.
The steamed bun owner was unhappy after hearing this: "Brother, how can you eat it so fast if it's not delicious? My steamed buns are the most famous in the county. Everyone says they are delicious! Even the county magistrate said they are delicious! I can sell them every day There are thousands of them!”
Wen Jiarui smiled apologetically: "Boss, I'm sorry, your buns are delicious, better than others! But I think my daughter and daughter-in-law taste better! Girl, right?"
After Wen Jiarui finished speaking, he asked Wen Nuan.
After hearing this, the Baozi boss didn't care anymore. He made up his mind about Wen Jiarui's words: It turns out that this brother must be like himself, having a dominatrix as his wife!
Never forget to praise your daughter-in-law anytime and anywhere, and don't say a bad word about her, otherwise you will have to kneel on the washboard. Because he feels the same way, he won't argue with him and say that his buns are not delicious!
Wen Jiarui even felt that even the food in the restaurant was not as delicious as his daughter's cooking. He continued: "If my wife and daughter opened a restaurant, the business would be very good!"
The Baozi boss shook his head, just how henpecked this person is!
Never forget to praise your daughter-in-law in front of your daughter, and then pass it back to your daughter-in-law's ears.
He should also learn from this: "The food cooked by my wife is also very delicious!" He never lets her cook it, and the food tastes like pig food!
Nuan Nuan thought, maybe they should open a snack shop in the town. As for the restaurant, of course they should also open it. However, the people in the town have limited spending power. If they want to open it, Nuan Nuan plans to open it in the county and prefectural cities.
—
After filling his stomach, Nuan Nuan took Wen Jiarui to the inn and rented a room for half an hour without having to check out. Then the two of them went to the room one after another and changed into clothes.
Wen Nuan also took out the rouge and gouache that he bought when passing by a rouge and gouache shop, and put makeup on Wen Jiarui, covering all the scars on his face. He transformed into a handsome young man, as gentle as jade.
Wen Jiarui looked at himself in the mirror and was stunned.
She also transformed herself into a rich young master.
Wen Jiarui looked at his daughter turning into a son and was dumbfounded: "Sister Nuan, why do we have to disguise ourselves?"
"My painting is worth more than the music I composed. The county is too chaotic and we cannot reveal our wealth. I think it would be better to put on makeup so that no one can recognize us."
"I see! Sister Nuan is still thoughtful." Wen Jiarui nodded.
etc... ..
Sister Nuan's piece of music sold for five hundred and fifty taels last time. Sister Nuan's painting is more valuable than the music. So how many taels can it be sold for
Wen Jiarui realized in hindsight that the wind was in chaos.
—
Wen Jiarui drifted all the way to the auction house!
Nuan Nuan was secretly glad that he had left the ox cart at the city gate before entering the city, otherwise he would definitely hit someone.
The auction house, located in the center of the entire county, is bustling every auction day.
When Nuan Nuan and Wen Jiarui went to hand in the auction items, because it was a bit late, everyone who wanted to auction the goods had already handed in the auction items.
The two of them didn't have to queue up when they entered, and they happened to see Wen Yu and Zhu Zhenxuan turn around and walk out after handing over the auction items.
