Chapter 24 Sending Jiang Chao Away



Since they were all card-playing friends, this person felt obliged to do so.

"I asked around and found out that my sister-in-law is really learning how to make Mao tofu. From what the young wife said, my sister-in-law is smart and deft, and she learns quickly. Now she just can't grasp some details well, but the rest is fine."

Jiang Chao listened thoughtfully.

"As for the uproar that day, what my sister-in-law said was true. The man was the younger brother of the young wife's in-laws. Brother Jiang, I think you should take care of the family more and stop thinking about it."

Although they are all card-playing friends, they still take care of their families.

Jiang Chao wanted to argue, but thinking that he had to go back and tell Zhang Tieying about this, he didn't say much.

The two met.

Zhang Tieying was quite surprised when she heard this. She always felt that this matter was not that simple, but she couldn't figure it out, so she had to give up in the end.

"It seems that this woman is really learning how to make Mao tofu. We may have overestimated it."

"This is the only thing I can think of now." Zhang Tieying said sullenly.

Jiang Chao hugged Zhang Tieying all of a sudden and said, "I'm so tired today. Come on, relax with me."

He put his hand into Zhang Tieying's clothes, and Zhang Tieying suddenly pushed him.

Jiang Chao was very confused and didn't know what was wrong with Zhang Tieying.

"What do you mean?"

Zhang Tieying looked at him in dissatisfaction, "What do you mean? You don't give me a penny now. You two spent a lot of money eating and staying at my place these past two days. All the food rations are gone. How can I survive now?"

Jiang Chao listened and smiled awkwardly, "Isn't this because the woman doesn't want to pay the money?"

"So what? Does this mean that if she doesn't take the money, she will starve to death?"

Jiang Chao scratched his head, not knowing what to say.

"No, you better go do something, or we won't be able to make ends meet."

Jiang Chao hadn't worked for a long time and was feeling a little hesitant.

Zhang Tieying kept acting coquettishly and finally coaxed Jiang Da into reluctantly agreeing.

"Okay, okay, I'll do some odd jobs when I get a chance."

After hearing this, Jiang Chao lost interest and went straight home.

In fact, they didn't expect that all this was a trap set by Jiang Ruyi for Liu Chunhua.

I had asked someone to discuss this with Widow Zhao long ago. If anyone asked about it, I would say that I learned how to make hairy tofu. It would be best if they could praise me for it.

Widow Zhao felt guilty about what happened last time, so she agreed without thinking.

Jiang Ruyi didn't expect that Widow Zhao did it so beautifully.

As soon as Jiang Chao got home, a man who was repairing a tile house came to his door hurriedly, saying that they were short of manpower and needed Jiang Chao's help.

Because Jiang Chao had learned some of this stuff before, he was considered a bit of a bricklayer.

However, after so many years of being lazy and gluttonous, Jiang Chao's first reaction when he heard about this job was that it was too tiring.

Liu Chunhua glanced at Jiang Ruyi on her lap and said calmly, "Now our family is running out of food. We have a family to feed, and I can't support them for long with this little money. You can't rely on me for everything, right?"

Jiang Chao's face froze, and he looked a little unhappy. "If you just go to work in the factory, won't you have everything?"

"I'm learning how to make tofu now, so I can't go to the factory. Besides, as the head of the family, you have to make money to support the family. You can't rely on me, a woman, for everything."

Jiang Chao looked extremely unhappy, but he couldn't show it because there were outsiders present.

Finally, I agreed reluctantly.

This person negotiated a good price with Jiang Chao. The salary for a bricklayer was not low, at least one dollar and one ten-thousand-dollar a day.

But Jiang Chao hadn't worked for a long time, and his employer was not very confident in him, so they charged him 80 cents a day for the first three days and then raised his salary.

Jiang Chao calculated that the money was not small and had no objection.

Because work would start tomorrow, Jiang Chao had to familiarize himself with the situation today. He did not stay at home and left quickly.

Liu Chunhua just laughed out loud.

"I didn't expect that he would have to go out to work one day. My daughter, you are amazing."

It turned out that Jiang Chao had been following them around today, making Liu Chunhua extremely uneasy.

After all, I can still do it if I postpone it for one day today, but what about tomorrow?

If I continue to delay like this, it will be difficult for me to make a living.

So Jiang Ruyi asked Liu Chunhua to ask around to see if anyone was hiring workers and if Jiang Chao could be hired.

It just so happened that a family was building a house and needed help from a bricklayer. Jiang Chao happened to be good at this, so it was natural to push him out.

[This time we can do our own thing. Let's go to the farmers in the afternoon.]

The two of them packed up and prepared to go out when Jiang Zhize suddenly came back.

He was holding a lively chicken in his hand. He was stunned for a moment when he saw the mother and her two children's posture, then smiled ingratiatingly.

"Mom, I caught a chicken for you. You can kill it and stew it for your sister tonight to nourish her body."

Liu Chunhua was stunned for a moment, and asked with a complicated expression, "Where did you get this done?"

He scratched his head and stammered, unable to explain clearly.

But Jiang Ruyi saw that there was a lot of dirt on his hands, and thinking of the coal mine she had heard about in the east at that time, she made some guesses.

[He should have gone to the coal factory to push a cart.]

Liu Chunhua still felt sorry for her son. She took the chicken, put it away, sighed, and gave him a bun. "You didn't get to eat the one yesterday, so I saved this for you today. Eat it."

"Thank you, mother."

Jiang Zhize burst into tears instantly.

Jiang Ruyi knew that he had not changed for the better, but at least he would not cause trouble in the short term, which was a good thing.

Liu Chunhua left in a hurry.

This time it will be much easier to contact the farmers directly.

With Jiang Ruyi's guidance, they found the heads of the farmers and asked those who had vegetable plots to visit several of them themselves.

The price has almost been decided.

Cabbage is harvested at 35%, potatoes at 24%, and sweet potatoes at 37%…

The prices are set one by one, and the next step is the delivery time.

Because it is troublesome to go from house to house one by one, they just place an order and deliver the goods at the doorstep of the boss.

Afraid that they would think she was a scammer, Liu Chunhua gave each family 50 cents as a deposit.

Jiang Ruyi had never thought about this detail; it was purely Liu Chunhua's own idea.

[Good, this way they won’t change their minds, great.]

Liu Chunhua didn’t understand what “awesome” meant, but she could feel that it was a compliment to herself.

She was very happy in her heart, but it didn't show on her face.

The original plan was that once these vegetables were decided, that would be the end of it.

But one farmer suddenly asked, "Sister, can we harvest dried fruits?"

"dried fruit?"

Liu Chunhua was stunned.

"Yes, I have some walnuts at home. If you want them, I'll bring them over with the potatoes next time."

[Take it, this thing is very expensive. ]

"Take it, big brother, just bring it along next time."

"Okay, okay."

With him taking the lead, the remaining people also introduced themselves.

After all the talk, it turned out that there was something special about this leader.

"Big sister, do you harvest ferns or something?"

This sentence stumped Liu Chunhua.

We have lived through difficult times, and ordinary people are afraid of eating this kind of wild vegetables, so it seems there is not much point in collecting them.

But Jiang Ruyi knew that this thing was the favorite of rich people.
