Yu Qingqing was a professional woman from a modern, high-tech developed era who transmigrated to a fictional ancient era. On her way back from a business trip, she encountered a landslide and was t...
The old widow howled like a ghost, as if she was really being bullied.
She started rolling on the ground, looking like a crazy woman.
The people around her did not help her. After all, they were all from the same village and knew her too well.
Seeing no one was paying attention to her, the old widow began to howl, "Village Chief Liu, you are bullying me. So many people are bullying an old woman like me. Why can they take things but I can't? Why are you treating me so differently? We are from the same village, why are you treating me like this?"
Seeing the shrewish woman on the ground, Village Chief Liu felt a headache. "Why don't you have it at home? You should go back and ask your good son. You'd better get up quickly and get out of here."
"Oh! I won't live anymore. Even the village chief is partial to us and bullies us, an orphan and a widow!" The two young men next to her tried to pull the old widow away again.
It happened that the old widow's son Wu Laizi came over and heard his mother's screams. He thought she was being bullied, so he punched the person closest to him.
"Ouch! My eyes, you bastard, I'm going to fight you!" Young people are full of hot blood. Naturally, they will not be happy if they are suddenly hit, and they will fight back immediately.
Soon the two figures were fighting each other without distinguishing between them, and the old widow, feeling sorry for her son, continued to scream and howl.
"You little bastard, let my son go! I'm going to fight you!" The old widow screamed, but the two men still refused to separate. So she simply joined the fight, and the result was predictable.
"Ouch! Son, you hit the wrong person. I'm your mother!" She went up to protect others from disaster, but her son punched her directly on the back.
Wu Laizi was also a foolishly filial son. After accidentally hitting his mother, he began to vent his anger on the person opposite him.
So he struck out again, giving the other man another punch.
But as luck would have it, the person who tried to stop the fight pulled the young man out of the fighting range in time. As luck would have it, Wu Laizi's punch hit his mother's face again.
This time, Wu Laizi's mother was beaten so hard that she vomited blood, and her two shaky front teeth were completely out of place.
The old widow was also stunned by the punch. "Crack!" There was only a crisp sound, and the bone was probably really broken.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? I didn't mean it." Wu Laizi ran over and prepared to help his mother up.
"Hahaha!" The people watching the excitement burst into laughter.
"Son, my waist seems to be broken, it hurts so much!" The old widow was in so much pain that cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and she felt so miserable in her heart.
Wu Laizi stepped forward and carried his mother on his back. He turned around and said viciously to Village Chief Liu and others with his head tilted: "Just wait for me, I will definitely come back!" After that, he quickly carried his mother on his back and left without looking back.
"Village Chief Liu, do you think Wu Laizi will really cause us trouble in the future? He is lazy and likes to stir up trouble. We didn't really anger him, did we, Village Chief Liu?" A young man who had just tried to stop the fight started to tremble with fear.
"Pah!" Village Chief Liu gave him a big tobacco basket and rolled his eyes. "Silly boy, he's just one person and we're a group of people, why are you so scared? He's really brave to come here and mess up my place. I haven't even bothered him yet, I just want to see if he dares to come. Hurry up and claim your things, don't you want them? And for those who just bravely stepped forward, I'll give them an extra 20 kilograms of sweet potatoes."
As soon as Village Chief Liu said this, everyone looked at the man with envy, but what they were thinking in their hearts was that they wished that person was themselves.
After this brief farce, everyone started sharing the sweet potatoes. Everyone was so happy to get real food.
After the sweet potatoes were distributed, the yard of Yu Qingshu's house became dirty, and the few people who stayed behind also cleaned it up very consciously.
In the room, Yu Qingqing was soaking beans, while Yu Qinghai was sitting opposite her.
Yu Qinghai grabbed a handful of soybeans and carefully sorted them out. "Third sister, can we harvest these beans in the village from now on? Today, the tofu shop owner Jiang was very satisfied. After I told him the recipe you gave, the customers outside were all vying to order tofu.
This time, the tofu shop owner, Jiang Tofu, will charge 15 wen per jin, which is almost as much as the price of meat. I sold all the 100 jin of tofu I brought to him, and with the three ways I cooked it, I made a total of 3 liang of silver this time."
Yu Qinghai handed a purse to Yu Qingqing. Now everyone in the family tacitly agreed that Hua Qinglu and Yu Qingqing would manage the money together.
Yu Qingqing felt that what her elder brother said made sense. Since they were going to be doing tofu business in the future, soybeans would be indispensable.
Yu Qingqing's eyes flickered, and he raised his eyebrows. "Brother, let's buy soybeans at four cents per pound. This price is one cent more than the price in town, and I think everyone should agree. If we go to the grain store to buy soybeans, it will be very troublesome to go back and forth. If the grain store raises the price one day, we will be like being strangled by the neck and will be slaughtered at will."
Yu Qingqing also considered the long-term, after all, they planned to do this business for a long time.
Moreover, they have cooperated with the largest restaurant in town, so their business will only become wider and wider.
Yu Qinghai wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked up at Yu Qingqing and said seriously, "Qing'er, I will definitely take care of the bean harvest. I just bought two people today. They were sold because of the host family's troubles. It's just right to have them help Dad and the others dig the cellar."
Standing next to Yu Qinghai were two young men, one of whom was eighteen years old and named "Li Tiezhu", who had been an orphan since childhood.
The other one is called "Jiang Hai", he is sixteen years old and used to be from the same village as Li Tiezhu.
The two of them stood there awkwardly, feeling a little overwhelmed.
No matter what Yu Qinghai asked them to do, they would do it quickly.
Yu Qingqing also thought that these people were pretty good, and buying them would be just right to help her family.
Yu Qingqing looked at the two of them and gave them a few serious instructions, then asked Hua Hongtao to take them to help dig the cellar.
This time, Yu Qingqing soaked three large buckets of beans, planning to soak them overnight so they would be ready for use tomorrow.
After the beans were soaked, Yu Qingqing couldn't sit still, so she pulled Yu Qingmei and Hua Yuanyuan to go outside to the foot of the mountain to take a look.
This time they came to a valley where the vegetation was not very lush, so they didn't have to worry about wild beasts.
The valley looks rather dry, perhaps this is why there is not much vegetation.
The three of them supported each other and walked downstairs.
When they reached the lower position, a vine with slender leaves on the ground caught Yu Qingqing's attention.
