Jiang Tuantuan, a business magnate from the 21st century, transmigrated with her entire family. At the start, she was pregnant, the family home was bare, her father had a broken leg, her younger br...
When I walked into the mansion, I saw a middle-aged man in black quilted clothes playing with birds in the pavilion in the backyard.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou," Jiang Tuantuan bowed respectfully to Mr. Zhou.
Rou'er opened her mouth wide, "Wow, Sister Tuantuan, how did you know he was my father's?"
Mr. Zhou said: "Rou'er, please stop being rude. Please invite Miss Jiang to sit in the room."
Entering the main hall, the furnishings inside are very simple, but it looks very grand and loud.
"Miss Jiang, this milk tea is made with goat milk that was just shipped from the Western Regions this spring, mixed with Longjing tea. How does it taste?"
Jiang Tuantuan tasted it carefully and said, "It tastes great. It neutralizes the bitterness of Longjing tea and removes the strong smell of goat milk."
Mr. Zhou smiled, his eyebrows and eyes curved, very similar to Rou'er's smile, worthy of being a father and daughter. "My Rou'er especially likes to drink this goat milk. Since you two are the same age, I thought of asking Miss Jiang to try it. I hope Miss Jiang likes it."
Jiang Tuantuan looked into Master Zhou's eyes and said, "Master Zhou, I'm afraid he didn't just ask me to taste the goat milk when he called Tuantuan here."
"Miss Jiang is indeed smart. I am interested in your business acumen."
"Mr. Zhou, thank you for your compliment. I heard that the Zhou family started doing business twenty years ago and has a wide range of businesses. Would you be willing to do a small business with me? I want to buy some chickens, cattle and sheep to raise."
Mr. Zhou thought for a moment and agreed, "No problem. Just tell me, the housekeeper, what you need."
"Er Jin, the price you give Miss Jiang must be the lowest, got it?"
"Yes, sir."
Jiang Tuantuan's expression lit up, "Thank you very much, Master Zhou."
After exchanging a few polite words with Mr. Zhou and telling Er Jin what he needed, Jiang Tuantuan stood up and took his leave.
Mr. Zhou's son heard the conversation from behind and asked curiously, "Dad, why do you want to do business with that little girl?"
Mr. Zhou smiled gently and said, "You will understand in the future."
Jiang Tuantuan and Erjin agreed to deliver the livestock the day after tomorrow, so they had to repair the fence quickly in the next two days.
It was already afternoon when we arrived at the village. Jiang Tuantuan ran to the fields, and Zhang Dahu happened to be strolling leisurely in the fields.
Jiang Tuantuan waved his arms vigorously at Zhang Dahu, "Brother Dahu, time to work! Call the three brothers and come build the fence tomorrow."
Zhang Dahu slammed the hoe in his hand into the ground, "Okay, Tuantuan girl."
After arriving home, Jiang Tuantuan started picking up small stones on the ground with a bamboo basket. Since it was all wasteland, it was very messy.
When Jiang Li saw this, he quickly snatched the bamboo basket away and said, "Sister Tuantuan, just take a rest. You're pregnant, how can you do such a thing?"
"No, you can't handle it all by yourself. My belly isn't big, so I can still work."
"Jiang Tuantuan!" A very stern and slightly angry voice came from behind.
"Mom, I was wrong. Don't be angry. I'll go back to my room and rest." Although Jiang Tuantuan has grown up, he is still a coward when facing his angry mother.
The next morning, everyone got up except Jiang Dafeng. Some boiled water, some cooked. Just as they had finished cleaning, Zhang Dahu came with his men.
They are the village chief’s son Dazhu, the youngest son Dasong, and Goudan.
Jiang Tuantuan asked enthusiastically, "Brother Dahu, have you had breakfast? If not, eat something first."
Dazhu: "We've all eaten, so just get to work."
Brother Dahu carried a large machete for cutting trees and walked straight to the mountainside. Because he needed wood to make a fence, he got it directly from the mountain.
The tree wasn't very big, so after two strong hits, it was almost cut through.
Then it was chopped into pieces. There was still one fish that Dazhu gave him two days ago that had not been eaten. At noon, Jiang Li killed the fish and made steamed fish.
I made meat porridge again, but I didn’t have a pot at home, so I couldn’t cook any stir-fried dishes.
"Thank you for your hard work, come and have lunch," Jiang Tuantuan gave each of the four of them a full bowl of meat porridge.
After a full lunch, Jiang Tuantuan had more energy to work in the afternoon. Within a day, the outline of the fence was completed. By the evening, Jiang Tuantuan took out two hundred coins.
"I asked about the current price for a day's work, and it's about fifty cents. Please keep the money." Jiang Tuantuan stuffed fifty cents into each of their hands.
Goudan scratched his head. "What is Tuantuan doing? We didn't expect to ask for money before we came here. Anyway, the farm work is done now, so we have nothing to do."
"No, you have to accept it. Since I asked you to come here, you can't not pay me. If you really don't accept it, I will be embarrassed to trouble you when I have something to do in the future." Jiang Tuantuan stubbornly pushed the money to them again.
Seeing that Jiang Tuantuan was very serious, Zhang Dahu finally accepted the money.
On the way back.
Goudan walked up to Dazhu and asked, "Didn't I hear that when the family split up, Boss Jiang didn't give anything to Jiang Dafeng and his family? How come this Tuantuan girl still has money to buy chickens and even gave us wages?"
Dazhu was also a little confused and didn't understand.
"I know, I know," Da Song raised his arms vigorously.
"I heard from my friend that a few days ago when he accompanied his father to the county town to sell grain, he saw Tuantuanmei selling red fruits."
"What the hell? It's the poisonous fruit from that mountain. Are you sure your friend didn't see it wrong and didn't lie to you?"
Da Song held up four fingers and said, "I promise I'm telling the truth and I won't lie. Lying is like being a puppy."
Zhang Dahu seemed to be thinking about something. I was wondering why all the trees were bare when I went to the mountain today. It turns out they had all been sold.
Dazhu slapped Dasong on the back and said, "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"
Some villagers saw Zhang Dahu and his group coming back with tools and asked curiously, "What were you doing? Why are you still carrying tools?"
Da Song answered first, "I'm helping Tuan Tuan Mei build a fence. I got fifty cents for it."
The villagers were a little bit incredulous, "Da Song, you can't lie."
"I'm telling the truth. If you ask my brother or Dahu, they can do it."
This matter spread throughout the village in no time.
The loudmouthed old woman Wang from the village ran to the door of the Jiang family's house and shouted, "Jiang Dafeng's family is in great luck! They're going to build a fence and get paid. But it's different. I wonder if some people will be jealous."
Now Boss Jiang’s family had no choice but to know.
After hearing this, Mrs. Wang rushed out angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about, old woman Wang? Who would be jealous?"
When Mrs. Wang saw that Mrs. Wang was angry, she realized that her goal had been achieved and left with satisfaction.
Although both of them had the surname Wang, they did not get along well in the village and often quarreled. Mrs. Wang was very happy that she could use this incident to annoy him.
