Aunt Qin, Brother Lin, and Mo Xiaobao are not lazy people. Once the buying and selling is decided, the three of them prepare the goods for two days in a hurry and are ready to set up the stall.

Money matters have always been settled clearly among brothers. Since three families are doing business together, the money must be divided clearly. Otherwise, even the best of relationships will easily lead to conflicts.

For this reason, Pei Shaorong suggested that everyone share the trading costs of the snacks, and that all the money earned from the snacks be shared together. This way, it can be ensured that no one will feel uncomfortable or jealous because of the popularity of one store's products.

Anyway, the main purpose of buying and selling Pei Shaorong is not for Mo Xiaobao to make money, as long as he doesn't let his wife stay bored and have wild thoughts. Making money is naturally a good thing, but it doesn't matter if you don't make much, it's just a small thing.

Letting Mo Xiaobao help sell hot pot skewers is because it is convenient and saves time. Not much hot pot ingredients are used before the New Year, and there is plenty of space, which is enough for Mo Xiaobao to work on for a long time.

Mo Xiaobao and his two young men prepared for two days, and on the third day they borrowed the village chief's donkey to drag their goods to Xinghua Town to do business.

There were very few young men and women in the village who went out to do business on their own. It was very unusual for the people in Linjiang Village to think that three of them would go out in public without a man to lead the way.

Xue Tieshi also reported to the Pei family to work, and Uncle Qin, at the instigation of Aunt Qin, also came to the Pei family to help when he had nothing to do.

The work in the fields is not busy now, and the number of men working on the family's fields has suddenly increased to three. Pei Shaorong feels that it is a bit of a waste of manpower. After thinking about it, he simply invites Uncle Qin, who occasionally comes to help for free, to come over, and prepare to reclaim a few acres of sandy land in the back mountain!

Pei Shaorong found that the watermelon seedlings he had planted before were growing well, which proved that the sandy land in Linjiang Village was very suitable for growing watermelons and could definitely be vigorously developed in the future.

There is no charge for reclaiming wasteland. Since Pei Shaorong now has two laborers, Xue Tieshi and Qin Shu, and he has paid them, he absolutely cannot waste them.

In addition, with the help of two old farmers, Xue Tieshi and Qin Shu, the other crops, tomatoes, fruit seedlings, etc. in the house were also taken very good care of. Pei Shaorong felt that the wages of these two people were well worth it.

On the other side, the snack stand of Mo Xiaobao and others was beyond Pei Shaorong's expectation. He didn't expect that such a small business could make a lot of money.

The steamed buns made by Aunt Qin are her family’s secret recipe. Not only do they taste good, but they also save a lot of flour. Most people might use up a generation of flour for two days, but Aunt Qin’s can last for three days.

Steamed buns are a good way to satisfy hunger, so almost every quarrying worker would buy one to fill their stomach in the afternoon, and they were not expensive at only one penny each.

Brother Lin’er’s cold noodles are also good. The price is relatively more expensive than steamed buns, four cents a bowl, but the sour and spicy taste is particularly appetizing. Stone mining wages are high and the work is tiring, so workers who are a little willing to spend money will eat it.

Not to mention the hot pot skewers sold by Mo Xiaobao. His is the most convenient to make. The hot pot ingredients are mixed with water at home, and all the food can be skewered and cooked.

Moreover, most of the skewers are wild animals caught by Pei Shaorong, Xue Tieshi and Uncle Qin when they went to the mountains to open up wasteland. The vegetables are also grown by Aunt Qin and Brother Lin’s family, so the cost is very low.

The most important thing is that the price of the skewers is very low, and the meat is only one cent per skewer. It is rare for country people to eat meat, and the workers do hard work, so there are many people who are willing to eat meat.

Later on, the three of them simply used the pheasant and rabbit bones with the meat kicked off to make soup every day. A large bowl cost one penny, and they could get refills. It was cheap and nutritious, and was also the workers' favorite.

Because the stall of the three was at an intersection, in addition to the stone miners, there were also passing caravans of travelers and people from Xinghua Town. Within a week, the snack stall of Mo Xiaobao and the other two became bustling.

Every day when it was time to close the stall, when Pei Shaorong, Xue Tieshi and Qin Shu went to pick them up, the things they had brought out during the day had basically been sold out. Gradually, all the food on the donkey cart was exchanged for silver, and everyone was so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.

After more than half a month, after deducting the costs, Mo Xiaobao and Lin Ge'er could get at least seventy cents a day. They were so happy that they were more confident when speaking at home. You see, girls and their wives are no worse than men, and they can be as powerful as men!

Because Lin Ge'er went out every day, Qin's mother had to take care of her daughter with bound feet and was not allowed to take care of the child. So Xue Tieshi would bring the child with him to work every day when he went to work at Pei's house.

Although he was carrying the child on his back, Xue Tieshi worked very quickly and it didn't bother him at all. The two-year-old Xue Jizu didn't make a fuss and was very well behaved. Pei Shaorong didn't say anything either.

On the contrary, he liked her very much, and he wanted to have a child with Mo Xiaobao even more. He had a small family, and having a child would make things more lively. However, he and Abao had only been married for half a year, so there was no rush to have a child...

Recently, Mo Xiaobao, Lin Ge'er and Aunt Qin went out to sell snacks, and people in the village have started to gossip about them.

Although there are not as many rules in the countryside as in towns and cities, but without men around, young men and women will definitely be gossiped about if they go out in public to make money.

Especially Liu Meihua said it the most happily. She and Mo Xiaobao already had a grudge against each other, so at this time she would definitely spare no effort to slander and attack Mo Xiaobao.

Of course, this is gossip only when people don't know the income of Mo Xiaobao, Lin Ge'er and the others. If they knew that they earn at least several dozen cents a day, they would definitely not be gossiping, and they would definitely go crazy and follow them to set up stalls!

After more than a month, the snack stand run by Mo Xiaobao, Lin Ge'er and the other two was completely stable. Pei Shaorong went to the town and bought an ox and a donkey. The donkey was used by Mo Xiaobao to pull things for the stall, and the ox was used to plow the fields.

Always borrowing the donkey from the village chief's house is not a solution. It sounds nice that the donkey belongs to the village chief, but in fact, almost all villagers regard the donkey from the village chief's house as the common property of the village. They always borrow the donkey without saying anything and bother the village chief, and the villagers also gossip about it.

Moreover, Pei Shaorong thought that it would be more labor-saving and efficient to open up a few more acres of land and have livestock.

The purchase of two livestock would easily arouse jealousy among the villagers. Pei Shaorong simply said that the Qin family, Xue family and his own family bought them together. Now that the Qin family and Xue family had received favors from his own family, they naturally would not say anything nonsense.

Normally, if the two families needed it, Pei Shaorong would generously lend them livestock for use, so that they would not abandon their own fields while helping the Pei family to farm. The Qin family and the Xue family were not fools, so they naturally would not refute Pei Shaorong's decision.

This is also helpless. Although Pei Shaorong is rich, he dare not show off too much. After all, he has just moved to Linjiang Village and his foundation is not stable. If he is envied by others, it will be a real trouble!

However, Pei Shaorong did not expect that his decision would avoid the trouble of the villagers' jealousy, but would cause trouble for Liu, the great saint...

It is said that at Qin Musheng's wedding that day, Aunt Liu invited a large group of beggars to cause trouble, which made Aunt Qin so angry that she almost killed her with a knife. Finally, after being persuaded by the villagers, she was locked in the house and she remained quiet for quite a while.

But Liu has never been a person who is content with her lot. Aunt Qin still has no way of curing her because of her saintly nature of meddling in other people's affairs and helping others without caring about the cost.

Up to now, the village chief's family was the only livestock in the village that had a donkey. Now Pei Shaorong bought another donkey and a working ox, which immediately attracted everyone's attention. Many people began to think about what to do.

Because Pei Shaorong told others that the donkey and ox were purchased by the Qin family, the Xue family and his family together, those who wanted to covet the livestock soon turned their attention to the Qin family.

To be precise, it was Liu from the Qin family. Everyone in Linjiang Village knew that Liu was the easiest person to talk to and a big fool who was very willing to help others. Since the Pei family and the Xue family were difficult to talk to, it would definitely be right to ask Liu to borrow a donkey!

So a family in the village who everyone called Tiedan Dad quickly found Liu and expressed their desire to borrow the donkey.

It just so happened that Mo Xiaobao and others did not set up their stall these two days. According to Liu's character, she naturally lent out the donkey that Pei Shaorong had left at the Qin family for two days without hesitation.

Let’s not talk about whether Pei Shaorong told others that the donkey was bought by the Qin family and himself. Just look at Liu’s character who does things without considering the consequences and always likes to use other people’s things to do good deeds. Even if the donkey is not hers, she will lend it out without considering the consequences!

Tiedan's family is not a family with a good conscience in the village. If they were really a family with good character, they would not have come to take advantage of Liu.

After Tiedan's family took the donkey away from Liu, they thought it would be a waste if they didn't use it, so they played with the little donkey as much as they could.

Not only did he pull the donkey to Yueyang Town three times to buy things, but he also let his son ride on the donkey cart to take a stroll around the neighboring village. The little donkey was so tired that he almost died!

When Pei Shaorong and Mo Xiaobao went to borrow their own donkey to take home in the evening, they were so angry that they were speechless.

These livestock are extremely valuable to farmers and are cherished just like modern city cars. As the saying goes, wives and cars are not to be lent out.

Now that his own donkey had been lent out secretly by Liu and had become like this, Pei Shaorong had directly blacklisted Tiedan's family for not taking good care of livestock, and at the same time, he also had a grudge against Qin's Liu.

Pei Shaorong was not a generous person to begin with. Among those who came back from the apocalypse, hardly any of them were generous and easy to talk to.

He is usually gentle and generous to others, but that is definitely an act. Apart from A Bao, it can be said that in Pei Shaorong's heart, there is no one he can really tolerate, even if it is Old Man Mo. If his bottom line is touched, he will not be polite!

Aunt Qin and Uncle Qin were both embarrassed about this. Seeing the little donkey covered with whip marks and almost half dead from exhaustion, they felt neither angry nor hateful towards their own mother. This old woman was really restless all day long.

Seeing Pei Shaorong's face darken for the first time, Aunt Qin had no choice but to bite the bullet and quietly bring a basket of eggs to his house to apologize. Then she brought Liu to the snack stand to help. This time she was determined to make sure that Liu would never leave her sight!

Liu was a person who could not sit still. Aunt Qin asked her to work for free, but she not only did not complain at all, but was extremely happy to do it. Aunt Qin cursed this old woman in her heart for being a slut.

In fact, Aunt Qin was also quite helpless. She really wanted to eat up Liu, the trouble-making old woman. However, Liu's seniority prevented her from punishing her severely, and she had to bear the consequences if anything went wrong.

For now, the only thing Aunt Qin can do is to tie the old woman up and keep an eye on her at all times to prevent her from getting into trouble.

At the same time, Aunt Qin was anxiously looking for a way to cure the old woman's saintly illness. The family's situation has only improved a little in the past two years, and they cannot be dragged down by Liu anymore.

However, Aunt Qin didn't expect that this helpless decision would accidentally solve her family's big trouble, and Liu herself would end up in a ditch...
