Li Mo hurt her hand, Song Dashan didn't even let her into the kitchen, let her play with Xiaobao.
Li Mo suspects that in his heart, she and Xiaobao are on the same level.
When Xiaobao was playing in the yard, she sat and watched, dazed.
At this moment, a crisp voice came in: "Is Dashan at home?"
As soon as the words fell, a middle-aged woman entered the yard.
Li Mo stood up, although she didn't know the person coming, she still politely called Auntie, and said: "Brother Dashan is at home, Auntie, please sit first, I will call him."
The woman laughed when she saw Li Mo, "You are Dashan's new wife, right? You really look good."
Li Mo lowered her head pretending to be shy, and hurried to the back to call for someone.
When he came out, the woman was teasing Xiaobao.
"Auntie, why are you here?"
"Didn't I hear that you're going to buy peanut seeds tomorrow? It just so happens that I'm going to town tomorrow, and I'll go to Xia Zhu's house to make an appointment for a donkey cart, so I'm asking if you want to book a seat for you too."
Song Dashan thought of this and quickly nodded his thanks, "Thank you, auntie, it's not that you said that I forgot to go to Lao Zhu's house to talk about this matter, so please tell me about the two seats, my wife will also go to town with me superior."
The woman readily agreed, "Sure, then I'll go and talk, then you are busy, my aunt is gone."
"Auntie, go slowly."
After sending the woman away, Song Dashan said to Li Mo: "Just now that is Aunt Zhao who lives next door. She has always taken good care of me and Xiaobao. You can go to Aunt Zhao if you have anything to do in the future."
Li Mo nodded, and then asked: "Then what seat?"
The appointment Aunt Zhao said was about a seat in a donkey cart. In the nearby villages, Xia Laozhu in his village has a donkey at home, and he can take people to the town, but the seats in the donkey cart are limited. There are seats, so you have to go to say hello in advance and reserve a seat, otherwise you can only walk to the town.
After listening to Song Dashan's explanation, Li Mo realized what was going on, and was curious about how much each person would charge and how many people could sit at a time.
Song Dashan replied: "A round trip is generally 3 Wen for adults, and 1 Wen for children. Children have no seats and have to be hugged by adults. 15 adults can sit at a time."
Li Mo's brains started to move quickly. In this way, the cost of a trip is at least 45 Wen. Even if there is only one return trip a day, he can earn at least 45 Wen. In the village, strong laborers go out to do odd jobs, and only 10 Wen a day Then this cart is too profitable. If you have a donkey at home, can you do this too? Why is it only Xia Lao Zhu's family has it
Tell Song Dashan the doubts in his heart, Song Dashan smiled, and explained to Li Mo: "A donkey costs about 6 taels of silver, which is much more expensive than buying a cow. They are all farmers, and they don't have so much money, so they are reluctant to buy it." , even if you have so much money, you will definitely choose to buy a cow. The cow can plow the land, but the donkey can’t do farm work except for pulling people, so no one has bought it so far.”
Li Mo understood, looked at Song Dashan, and felt that this job was very suitable for Song Dashan. His legs and feet were inconvenient, and farm work was too strenuous. If he could pull a cart, it would be easy and profitable.
If you make money in the future, you can try it.
When eating at noon, I didn't expect Aunt Zhao to come again. When she came in, she looked very bad.
"Aunt Zhao, what's the matter?" Song Dashan asked.
Aunt Zhao sat down on the bench brought by Li Mo, exhaled, and then replied angrily: "The old Xia Zhu's house is getting worse and worse, I went to make an appointment, but told me that the seat is tight, A family only gives one seat, not two, bah! Why is the seat tight, why didn’t you say that before.”
This Xia Laozhu relied on this donkey cart in a few nearby villages. He was very arrogant and high-spirited. Once he offended him, he would not even think about taking his donkey cart. Wen has risen to 3 Wen, if it is not too far to walk to the town, everyone is too lazy to take his car.
This time there is a new moth, the family only gives one seat, what will other people do.
When Song Dashan heard this, his expression was also bad.
Li Mo was also very disappointed in her heart, it seemed that she couldn't go this time.
Pulling Song Dashan's sleeve, Li Mo said: "Brother Dashan, I'm not going, you can go."
Song Dashan's complexion did not improve, he did not reply to Li Mo's words, but asked Aunt Zhao: "Auntie, when will the donkey cart leave tomorrow?"
Aunt Zhao replied: "Wait at the entrance of the village at Maoshi tomorrow morning."
I was angry, but remembering that there were still many things to do, Aunt Zhao didn't delay, and went home after talking.
Although Li Mo was disappointed, it wasn't that she couldn't go forever, she just went again next time, and she put this matter behind her now and didn't think about it anymore.
Unexpectedly, before dawn the next day, Li Mo was woken up by Song Dashan.
"Brother Dashan, what's the matter?"
"Get up, pack up, and go to town."
When Li Mo heard this, she was surprised, "Isn't there only one seat for each family? How can I go?"
"It's okay, I can go. I discussed with a man from the same village who happened to be driving cattle to the town. I will go in his ox cart."
"The bullock cart?"
"Well, the ox cart is too slow. I think the morning market in the town will be gone, but it's no problem to buy seeds. Just go to the grain store. When you arrive, follow Aunt Zhao, and you don't have to wait for me when you come back." He took out a bunch of copper coins from his pocket and handed them to Li Mo, "When you get to the town, you can buy whatever you want."
Li Mo hesitated, "Brother Dashan, you are going to the town for business. Taking a bullock cart is too late. You should take a donkey cart. I won't go. It will be the same next time."
Song Dashan patted her on the head, "It's okay, you can go at ease, the ox cart will not delay the purchase of seeds."
"Can"
"Don't worry about it, that's it, get up and wash up." Song Dashan went out after finishing speaking.
Li Mo had no choice but to get up and take a shower.
When approaching Mao, Song Dashan sent Li Mo to the entrance of the village and handed it over to Aunt Zhao who was already waiting there.
"Auntie, Li Mo will trouble you."
Aunt Zhao had heard Song Dashan talk about going there by bullock cart, so she nodded immediately, "Don't worry, I will take your wife with me."
Song Dashan accompanied Li Mo to wait for the cart until Xia Laozhu's donkey cart arrived.
After the donkey cart pulled the people away, Song Dashan walked towards the town without seeing the shadow of the cart.
In the car, Aunt Zhao was sitting next to Li Mo, and a middle-aged woman whom she didn't recognize was sitting on the other side.
Aunt Zhao took Li Mo's hand, "Girl, how old are you this year?"
Li Mo thought about the age of the original owner, and replied, "I'm 17 years old this year."
Aunt Zhao nodded, "17, it's much smaller than Dashan, but a man, it hurts when he's older."
Li Mo lowered her head pretending to be embarrassed.
Seeing her shyness, Aunt Zhao smiled, and said again: "Girl, let me tell you, you can't go wrong living with Dashan, Auntie can guarantee it."
Li Mo smiled and nodded, Song Dashan is indeed a good person.
Aunt Zhao sighed at this moment, "I watched Dashan grow up. He is a very good boy, but he suffered a lot because of his bad fate."
Hearing what Aunt Zhao said, Li Mo thought that there must be some story, and couldn't help being curious.
Seeing that Li Mo was listening seriously, Aunt Zhao couldn't help but say what she was holding back in her heart: "When the imperial court conscripted soldiers, the Song family was reluctant to give up money. So they pushed Dashan to serve as a soldier, and his family also thought that he would not be able to return. Here, for the sake of reputation, he said he wanted to leave a queen for him, and he didn't choose anyone. He just found a woman with a bad reputation and got married in a hurry. Dashan left a few days after the marriage and never came back. His The daughter-in-law soon found out that she was pregnant with a child, but she was unlucky and went to give birth to Xiaobao."
Aunt Zhao sighed when she said this, "It's just that I'm sorry for Xiaobao. I was the one who made a fuss and invited the patriarch, so the Song family agreed.
I raised Xiaobao, but Xiaobao had such a good life in those days, what a shame."
Only then did Li Mo know what happened before.
It must be that the Song family used raising Xiaobao as an excuse to ask Song Dashan for child support, that is, the 8 taels of silver.
Thinking of Xiaobao's pitiful and skinny appearance, Li Mo felt a little sad.
If it is said that Song Dashan had a wife before, it is impossible to say that she has no grudges in her heart. She is afraid that he will always have another woman in his heart, so even if the two live together, it is impossible to not care about it at all. , but now hearing from Aunt Zhao, knowing that Song Dashan has no relationship with his previous wife, she was relieved.
Talking all the way like this, Li Mo learned a lot about Song Dashan, estimated that it took about an hour and a half according to modern time, and finally came to the town.
Aunt Zhao was going to the cloth shop to buy cloth. It turned out that her daughter was getting married next month.
It's just that Aunt Zhao was not so happy when she said this, and she was faintly sad.
Li Mo was puzzled, "Auntie is reluctant to part with her daughter?"
Aunt Zhao sighed and didn't hide it from her, "You just came to our village. I didn't know that my youngest daughter, Qinhua, was accidentally scorched on the face by sparks a few years ago. After all these years of recovery, she still hasn't fully recovered. Well, I still have a little scar on my face, I'm going to get married soon, can I not worry about it?"
Li Mo didn't understand, "Could it be that the other party doesn't know that Qin Hua has a scar on her face?"
Aunt Zhao shook her head, "Qinhua has a childhood sweetheart, and the two are engaged to be a baby girl. He knows that Qinhua has a scar on her face, but he has feelings for Qinhua, and he doesn't dislike her. He is willing to marry Qinhua."
"That's great. Since he doesn't dislike Qin Hua, why is Auntie still so worried?"
"Hey, he doesn't dislike Qinhua, but his parents are actually very dissatisfied with Qinhua. If it weren't for his firm attitude, Qinhua's marriage might not be possible. On the day of marriage, the man's aunts and aunts would go to see the bride. The scar on our Qinhua's face is still uncertain how to bury my daughter, her father-in-law and mother-in-law have lost face in front of relatives, how can they have a good face for Qinhua." Aunt Zhao's voice was choked up as she spoke.
Only then did Li Mo understand why Aunt Zhao was so worried.
At this time, she had a flash of inspiration, and she suddenly thought of how she could make money.
That's right, although there are no celebrities here, she can give makeup to the bride once in a lifetime, so she must be willing to spend money on makeup.
Li Mo's heart beat quickly, feeling that she was hopeful to make a fortune.
