A man who happened to be working at the dock in the town heard from his companions that there was a stall selling cheap and delicious food, so he followed them. When he got there, he found out that it was people from their village who were selling food there. When he went back home and told his wife, the news spread.
After it was mentioned, some people noticed that several families in the village had been very close recently, and they found out that there was no one in their house early in the morning. It turned out that they went to the town to sell food.
"You don't know how good the business of that stall is until you go there. It's full of people, and there's not even a place to sit." More people means more money. People in the village have never seen much money in their lives. When they see others making money, they talk about it all over again, and there are also some who are jealous.
Recently, the father and son of the Sun family returned all the money to their families, and then they remembered that they were now going out early and coming back late. It turned out that they were doing business. Sun Yanshan left the village early in the morning with a load on his shoulder, and naturally some people in the village had seen him.
"You said that Chen Hong and the others don't come to sell vegetables anymore, and there are no vegetables in the fields. They were carrying baskets over there the other day. Did they sell all the vegetables to Cao Silang?"
Someone had mentioned this before, but they didn't believe it at first. Cao Silang's family was lucky enough not to starve to death, so how could they have the money to buy so many vegetables. But now it's different. Cao Silang and his friends went to the town to open a stall to sell food, so they naturally have to buy vegetables in the village. I didn't see that Chen Hong and the others didn't come to sell vegetables now.
It was just a private gossip, but now a few jealous people went to Cao Silang's house.
So when Cao Xiangnan and the others came back, they saw a lot of people blocking their door.
"Hurry..." Cao Gang pulled the reins and the horse stopped.
The well-behaved Dahei has calmed down a lot towards his own people recently, but he was very unhappy with these strangers. He snorted several times and kicked his hooves to scare away the people who were close to him.
Cao Xiangnan got off the carriage and saw the people gathered at the door of his house. He glanced at the closed door and asked, "Is there something that has brought the villagers here to Xiangnan?"
Cao Dapeng and Sun Ji also got off the carriage and saw so many people gathered around Cao Xiangnan. Sun Ji frowned and looked at the people who were holding a basket in their hands. He knew what kind of people these people in the village were.
An old lady from the village came out with a basket full of fresh vegetables in her hands and said, "Cao Jia Silang, you guys must need a lot of vegetables from the food stall every day. Grandma's family also grows a lot of vegetables. Grandma will give them to you at a lower price."
"My family also grows a lot of vegetables. I'll give them to you at a lower price."
"My family's vegetables are cheaper. Buy from me, buy from me."
Cao Xiangnan had a cold face. It was his pleasure to buy vegetables from anyone, but he would not be very happy if someone brought vegetables to his house and forced him to buy vegetables! Seeing that the yard door was closed, he thought that Wanfeng and the children were inside, so he suppressed his anger and said, "I have no shortage of vegetables here, take your vegetables back."
"How can you have no shortage of vegetables? Your stall business is so good. You and Chen Hong and the others don't buy from us. We are all from the village. The vegetables we grow are no worse than theirs. We can even sell them to you at a cheaper price."
"Yes, my vegetables are also juicy. These are just picked from the fields. They are so beautiful."
"And mine, mine..."
"Alright!" Cao Gang said in a low voice, "Take your things back. Don't let me say it again."
Seeing these people openly coming to steal his wife's business, Cao Dapeng clenched his fists. If he hadn't seen that these people were all brothers, he would have gone over and beat them up.
At this time, the wooden door of the yard was opened from the inside. Sun Bailian stood at the door and shouted angrily, "You people, I have told you that I will not buy any more vegetables. I have told you so many times. Take your things back and stop making noises here."
These people came here early. He told them that he would not buy any more vegetables, but they still stayed here and refused to leave. Finally, he was so angry that he closed the door.
An An was timid and huddled in his mother's arms. He didn't dare to go out.
Later, he finally drove these people outside away, but some of them were reluctant to leave.
After entering the yard, he moved the things down, untied the carriage, and took the horse out to eat grass.
Cao Xiangnan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Wanfeng and the child. When he saw the child in Wanfeng's arms, he reached out to take the child, looked at the listless child, kissed him on the little face, and asked, "Isn't our little baby An An happy to see daddy back? Why doesn't he call daddy anymore?"
An An hugged his father's neck with his two little arms and said softly, "Happy, An An misses daddy, I'm afraid."
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Daddy is here, mom is here too, there's nothing to be afraid of. An An must be strong and protect mom and the brother in mom's belly. An An is not afraid of anything." Cao Xiangnan knew that the child was so timid and that he had developed this sensitive and timid character because of being brought up in the Cao family compound. This character cannot be changed in a day or two. Now he goes to the ground with a pale face at the slightest disturbance, and he feels very distressed in his heart.
"I'm fine." Qi Wanfeng said.
Cao Xiangnan reached out and took Qi Wanfeng's hand and squeezed it. The two communicated in this silent way.
"Xiangnan, Wanfeng, we're going home." After moving all the things down and packing them up, Sun Ji and Cao Dapeng also wanted to go back. Cao Xiangnan saw them out, still holding An An in his arms, waved to them, and said, "See you tomorrow." After
everyone outside left, their yard became quiet.
They now go out early and come back late. The evening sunset hits the yard, coating it with a layer of light gold. In the kitchen, Qi Wanfeng and Sun Bailian were cooking. Cao Xiangnan coaxed the child for a long time before the child finally smiled and watched the puppy with his two brothers.
The child's emotions come and go quickly, Cao Xiangnan smiled.
Cao Gang, who had just returned from feeding the horses, tied Dahei to the stable and put water and grass in the trough for the horse to eat.
The two men sat on stools and talked about the stall. Naturally, the business of their stall would not be affected by the people in the village. But now that their harvest of vegetables in the village was known, some people in the village would inevitably be jealous.
"Don't worry about them!" Cao Gang just said this.
Cao Xiangnan shrugged. He thought so too. They were doing their own business. It was his freedom to buy things from whomever he wanted. Those people in the village would not force him to buy vegetables, right?
But those people in the village really planned so.
"Is this true?" A group of people went to the village chief. The village chief heard about Cao Jia Si Lang harvesting vegetables in the village and asked.
The village chief was also confused. When he heard the instigation of these people in the village, he immediately went to Cao Jia Si Lang.
Li Zheng was also invited over. He knew that the Cao family boy had set up a stall in the town to sell food. He guessed that he had made some money. Yesterday, he went to the village with the Cao family boy to find someone to buy land to build a house. It was true that the fourth son of the Cao family was harvesting vegetables in the village, but he didn't need so many vegetables. He saw that the village chief had been doing worse and worse in recent years, so he followed him because he was worried.
Then, a group of people went to the back of the village in a mighty manner.
In the Cao family compound, Wang Yan, who heard the news outside, came back and exaggerated what happened outside to his mother. When Chen Zhu heard that his fourth son had opened a food stall in the town and the business was very good, and now he was harvesting vegetables in the village, everyone went to the village chief to find out about this.
"This is not a filial son!" He has money but he doesn't bring some back to honor his mother. They haven't had any meat for a month. No, he wants to go over and take a look. Chen Zhu's mind moved and he was about to go out immediately.
At this time, Cao's father and the eldest son Cao Fugui also came back from the field. When they heard about this, he put down his pipe and stood up, saying, "I'll go with you."
So, everyone in the Cao family compound also went over together.
"This group of shameless people!" Chen Hong heard that her husband who came back from home talked about a group of people going to Cao's fourth son to steal his business. She didn't even cook, threw it away, and left with her husband.
"Knock knock--" Hearing the knock on the door, the two people who were talking subconsciously turned their heads to look in the direction of the door. Cao Xiangnan's eyelids twitched, and he stood up to open the door.
Standing at the door were the village chief and Li Zheng, together with his father and mother, and a lot of people followed behind. Cao Xiangnan looked at the four mountains standing at his door, suppressed the emotions in his eyes, and called out, "Father, mother."
"Village chief, Li Zheng, I wonder what you are doing here in Xiangnan?" Li Zheng winked at him, and Cao Xiangnan also received it and asked respectfully.
When Chen Hong and Cao Dapeng arrived, the people standing in front blocked the door of Cao Xiangnan's house, and they couldn't get in even though they were outside the crowd. Many people came to watch the excitement. They heard that Cao Silang and several families in the village opened a food stall in the town and the business was very good. They
heard that Cao Silang was harvesting vegetables in the village. Everyone was concerned about this matter.
"Silang, you met the village chief and Li Zheng. Your father and mother came to your house, but you didn't invite us in. You made everyone stand at the door of your yard. What kind of behavior is this?" Cao's mother Chen Zhu saw that Silang was so ignorant and began to teach him a lesson.
Chen Zhu thought about how he didn't get any benefit from Silang's house that day, and when he heard that his fourth son had opened a stall in the town to sell food and even bought a carriage, but didn't give a single penny to his mother, he was so angry that his teeth itched.
"Please come in and sit down." Cao Xiangnan stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation, asking the village chief, Li Zheng, and his father and mother to come in. When Cao Laoer was about to stretch his feet to come in, he stretched out his hand and said, "Xiangnan's yard is small and can't accommodate so many people. I hope everyone will understand and ask everyone to wait outside."
"You!" Cao Laoer didn't know that his fourth brother had made a fortune. That day, he didn't even give him a penny, and now he didn't even let him in.
Cao Xiangnan, just wait and see!
Cao Xiangnan was not afraid of Cao Laoer either. He closed the gate of the courtyard and prevented people from entering, including the few
