Several people worked from dawn to dusk for three whole days. At the end of the temple fair, they sold all the ointment. Many people deliberately found Li Mo's stall to buy on the third day.
After Li Mo sold out all the balms in his hand, there were still people who came here because of their reputation. Seeing that there were no more, Li Mo expressed his disappointment beyond words. Seeing this, Li Mo deliberately left his home address with the other party and told him that if he wanted to buy it, he could buy it. Go look for her at home, and at the same time tell the person who bought the balm, if there is a married lady at home who wants to get dressed, she can also go to Daoyuan Village to find her.
On the way back, Meizi held the cloth bag containing the money and felt the heavy weight in her hand. Her heart was about to fly out. It was really too much money. In just three days, she earned so much money. She has such big hands. Li didn't take so much money all at once.
If it wasn't for being outside now, Meizi really wanted to pour out the money and count it.
Approaching Li Mo, Mei Zi couldn't help but asked excitedly in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, our balm is selling very well, so many people come to buy it, after you go back, you can set up a stall in the town to sell it, the business will definitely not be good. Difference."
Li Mo smiled and shook her head lightly, "This business cannot be done in the town, and I don't plan to set up a stall in the town to sell it."
"Ah?" Mei Zi opened her eyes wide, wondering why Li Mo let go of such a good opportunity to make money.
Tie Zi was also puzzled.
Li Mo had no choice but to explain in a low voice: "For this temple fair, no matter where the stalls and hawkers are, they will come. After these three days, no one will be able to find anyone, but if they go to the town, it is tantamount to formally competing with those cosmetic shops. , you sell well, people must have noticed you, you can open a shop in the town, no one has any backing, it is very easy to trouble you, we have no money and no power, when the time comes, we will only We can be bullied by others for nothing, so let’s do business in the village, so that we can’t grab the business of other big shops, and have nothing to do with each other.”
After Li Mo's explanation, several other people suddenly realized, didn't they, if they went to the town to compete with those shops, they would definitely be bullied, how could ordinary people have the ability to resist.
Mei Zi looked at Li Mo reverently, "Sister-in-law, you are still thoughtful, if I were you, maybe you would go to the town to make money."
Li Mo didn't talk about it anymore, but talked about the arrangements after returning home, "Meizi, you and Tiezi have worked hard these few days, don't rush to go home first when you go back, let's cook something delicious tomorrow, have a good time." Have a meal to celebrate, and then the day after tomorrow you and I will go to town to make up, how about going back when we come back?"
"This..." Meizi was a little hesitant, she originally planned to rush home tonight, it was too troublesome to live in her brother-in-law's house all the time, and that family was also in the village, so she always felt uncomfortable.
"Don't hesitate, you've been busy these few days, and you haven't had a good meal. We must have a good meal tomorrow. You should rest these two days and don't rush home." Li Mo advise.
Meizi looked at Tiezi and saw that Tiezi had no objection, so she nodded and decided to stay at her brother's house for two more days.
It was already dark when they rushed home, Li Mo brought them into the room, lit a candle, opened the money bag, and poured all the money on the bed, only to hear "crash" The sound of copper plates colliding.
Looking at the large amount of copper coins pushed on the bed, several people were a little excited, it was really a lot of money, how could we usually see so many copper coins piled up together.
In fact, it’s not too much money, it’s just that there are copper plates one by one, and the volume is too big. Generally, if people collect a thousand copper plates, they will definitely exchange them for one tael of silver. They are too busy these days and don’t have time to put The copper plates were exchanged for silver, so I came back with such a large bag of copper plates.
There were too many copper coins, and several people counted together for a long time before they could count the number clearly. There were a total of 3,320 copper coins, which was more than three hundred and twenty coins.
"Sister-in-law, we earned almost two and a half taels of silver in three days, which is more than the whole family earns in a year!" Meizi was so excited that she couldn't help laughing.
Li Mo smiled lightly, and said: "I didn't earn that much, it's not a net profit, and the four hundred coins for buying the box and the face oil that I added, so I made almost two or nine. More than a hundred coins."
Meizi was still very happy, "That's a lot, other people's families can't save two taels of silver a year."
Li Mo lowered her head, counted out five hundred Wen coins from the copper plate, put them in a separate purse, and stuffed them into Meizi's hands, "Meizi, you and Tiezi have worked hard these few days, this is my sister-in-law's wish."
Meizi immediately pushed back, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about, Tiezi and I didn't ask for money to help, we don't want this money!"
Tie Zi also nodded at the side, "Sister-in-law, how can we ask for money if our brothers and sisters come to help? If you give money, what will Meizi and I do?"
"It really saves me a lot of trouble if you come to help me. If you don't come, your brother and I will have to ask other people to help, and we will still have to pay the money at that time. Moreover, you have delayed the time for several days, Tie Zi You can't go hunting anymore, and you haven't done your housework. You have lost a lot. Brother and sister-in-law can't let you suffer. You take this money. In the future, my sister-in-law will ask you to help me with something. If you No, my sister-in-law will not dare to ask you for help next time."
Seeing that Meizi still refused, Li Mo stuffed the purse into the small cloth pocket of Xiaoshu who was watching the adults with wide eyes, and patted his head, "Xiaoshu, this is for you from my aunt." If you buy candy, you have to keep it."
Xiaoshu was a little confused, he didn't understand what the adults were talking about, he just remembered that it was for him to buy candy, and he swallowed immediately, but he still remembered that he couldn't just ask for other people's things, so he grabbed the money bag and looked at him Father and his mother, the little eyes are eager.
Seeing her son's small eyes, Meizi smiled helplessly, knowing that she had to collect the money today, so she nodded to her son, "Thank you, auntie, Xiaoshu."
Xiao Shu knew that his mother agreed to accept it, and that he could buy candy, his eyes lit up immediately, his little head nodded, and he bowed to Li Mo, and said in a childlike voice, "Thank you, auntie."
Li Mo was attracted by this child, hugged Xiaoshu and kissed him, "Xiaoshu is really sensible."
Seeing Li Mo hugging Xiao Shu, Xiao Bao was anxious, and hurried forward to pull Xiao Shu away from Li Mo's arms, "Aunt Mo, and Xiao Bao, you kiss Xiao Bao, Xiao Shu is my aunt's house." of."
You don't want to kiss Xiaoshu, Xiaoshu has an aunt, so you kiss Xiaobao.
Seeing that Xiaobao was in a hurry, looking like she was afraid that someone would snatch her away, Li Mo smiled and hugged Xiaobao and kissed him deeply, "Okay, Aunt Mo kisses Xiaobao."
Several adults watched Xiaobao protect the food, feeling relieved and sad at the same time.
How could Xiaobao be so lively and cheerful before, he used to just stay silently in the corner and play alone, but now he can laugh and play, this is what a child should be like.
Everyone was tired that night, and several of them simply ate a little supper before going to sleep. Several of them were tired for several days, and could not sleep for three hours a day. , Until the sun rose high the next day, a few people woke up from a full sleep.
Everyone's spirits recovered, Li Mo took out the vegetables she bought from the temple fair yesterday and prepared to make lunch.
Meizi was in charge of the spoon, Li Mo followed beside him, and Song Dashan lit the fire. In less than half an hour, the meal was finished in one meal. Three big dishes, two vegetables and one soup were cooked, and when they were served on the table, the eyes of the two little guys lit up. , I stopped playing, and obediently ran to the table and sat down to wait for the meal. Those people who looked greedy were funny.
Li Mo took out the leftover wine from the last meal, "I'm happy today, don't tell me the whole family is having dinner together, let's all have some wine."
Everyone smiled and nodded, why not relax, drink some wine and be happy.
"Meizi, Meizi, are you back?" At this moment, Mother Song's choked voice came from outside the door, interrupting the eating movement of the people inside.
Mother Song came in from the door with reddish eyes, followed by Wang Cuihua and Lin Zhaodi, who were holding a few children by their hands.
Li Mo put down the chopsticks in her hand, secretly thinking that this meal is uneasy.
Seeing the person coming, Mei Zi's face darkened, she pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.
When Song's mother saw Meizi sitting on the table, tears flowed down her cheeks, "Meizi, mother is really happy that you are back."
Meizi turned her head away, not looking at Mother Song who was weeping.
Seeing that Mei Zi ignored her, Song's mother took a trembling step forward, "Mei Zi, do you still hate your mother, don't you? You have hated your mother for so many years, right? Mei Zi, mother really can't do it, please forgive me."
Meizi didn't show any expression, and her voice was extremely cold, "You have already sold me, we are not considered a family anymore, you should go away."
Song's mother: "Wuwu Meizi, I am your mother. Back then, my mother had no choice but to sell you. Don't resent my mother, okay? My mother really misses you."
Meizi: "Since you've sold me, don't say anything about whether you want to or not in the future. We are going to eat, so you can go if you have nothing to do."
Song's mother looked at Song Dashan anxiously, with teary eyes, "Dashan, please persuade your sister to let your sister come back, and mother will make up for her in the future."
Song Dashan lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Mother, Meizi is married and has her own family. She is doing well now, so there is no need to say anything else."
Hearing the meaning of Song Dashan's words, Song's mother opened her mouth in panic, "Dashan, what are you talking about, that is your sister, don't you want her to have a family?"
Song Dashan frowned, "Mother, I will help my sister if she needs anything in the future, don't be afraid that there is no one in her natal family."
Song's mother didn't expect Song Dashan to say that, she looked at him in disbelief, and didn't understand why her second son suddenly became cold to her. When I am sad, I will comfort her and try to make her not be so sad. How has this changed
Song's mother: "Dashan, you, why do you say that?"
Song Dashan: "Mother, if you have nothing to do, you can go home, we still have to eat."
Shouldn't she be left for dinner? Mother Song opened her mouth in shock, not knowing what to say.
