Chapter 80: Talking to Xiao Nuobao
about marriage The silver for the first month's board and lodging alone was a full 110 taels.
Not to mention, there were doctors like Wu and Jiang who paid the money yearly.
Doctor Wu wanted to book a year at first.
But after seeing the two courtyards before and after, and feeling the simple folk customs of Daliu Village, he was afraid that the time he booked would be too short and he would not be able to live there when the time expired, so he simply added another year.
Boss Yang was very filial and directly paid nearly 300 taels of silver, and said that the Jiang family would not be allowed to make changes no matter what.
Seeing the extra hundreds of taels in the family, Feng was so excited that her hands were shaking.
She thought that this business could make money.
But she didn't expect that eleven elderly people could live in so quickly and make her family's pockets bulge so quickly.
"Mom, we just need one more person, and our Fushantang will be full!" Li Qiqiao's voice was so happy that it went straight up.
Mrs. Feng closed the money box, with a smile in her eyes: "Yes, according to the current situation, I'm afraid that in less than two days, the last big house will be booked."
Seeing her mother and family so happy, Xiao Nuobao was very satisfied in her heart, holding her little face and shaking her head.
But at this time, several scenes suddenly appeared and flashed back in her mind.
Xiao Nuobao raised her watery round eyes and hummed in a baby voice: "Mom, Fushantang is no longer accepting people!"
"What did you say, my lady?" Mrs. Feng turned around and asked.
Xiao Nuobao smiled deeply: "The last person in Fushan Hall has been selected, we just need to wait for this person~"
Feng immediately understood what she meant. Once the daughter spoke, it was a golden word!
"Okay, then this last room will be kept for the time being. Unless the daughter nods, no one else will be allowed to move in."
After owning Fushan Hall, the Jiang family was very busy all day long.
Feng had already made a division of labor.
The three meals a day were left to Li Qiqiao to do. Occasionally, she would come to help. As for the work of washing and mending, it was Sun Chunxue who was in charge.
Li Qiqiao was meticulous and skillful. She could make every meal different. The old people were very happy and kept praising her.
Although Sun Chunxue was a little clumsy, she was hardworking and could wash clothes cleanly without any fault.
Knowing that her daughters-in-law worked hard, Mrs. Feng was afraid that they would be too tired, so she promised to hire two people in the village to help them after Fushantang was settled.
As for the daily ingredients of Fushantang, Xiao Nuobao provided them silently.
Anyway, there were too many offerings to eat, and now giving them to the second sister-in-law to cook can not only save a lot of money, but also save the eldest brother from taking them to the city to sell, and it can also be convenient.
Soon, the Jiang family's Fushantang became famous outside.
When the news reached Qiaotou Village, Mrs. Bai heard it and didn't dare to believe it at first.
"What? The Jiang family really started a business!" After her daughter-in-law finished speaking, Bai's eyebrows were almost twisted into knots: "It's really strange, their family is so poor, how can they turn around so quickly? No, I have to go find my silly daughter-in-law to ask!"
Since Bai's failed attempt to collect money last time, Sun Chunxue was heartbroken and never returned to her parents' home.
Bai, with her old waist hunched, hurried for most of the day. When she arrived at Dalui Village, the Jiang family was busy at Fushan Hall.
Only Sun Chunxue was outside the house carrying firewood, and was about to go into the house to heat the kang and heat the meal.
"Daughter-in-law, your mother-in-law is ordering you to work again." Bai stretched out her skinny fingers, smiled sinisterly, and pulled at Sun Chunxue's silk clothes.
Sun Chunxue was frightened and shivered. When she turned around and saw that it was her own mother, her face changed: "Mom... why are you here?"
"Don't you miss me as your good daughter? You are so heartless that you don't come back to see me during the New Year. I can only tire my legs and come to see you."
After saying that, Bai showed her yellow teeth stained with chive leaves and opened the bag in her hand: "Look what I brought you, duck eggs! You loved duck eggs the most when you were a child. I saved several for you. They are all here."
Before Sun Chunxue approached, she smelled a sour and stinky smell that almost broke her head.
I don't know how these duck eggs were placed, and they can still stink...
If it were in the past, Bai would have been able to coax Sun Chunxue into a soft heart by giving her a little sweetness.
But now Sun Chunxue had seen through her, and pouted to push the duck eggs back: "Mom, I don't want them. We Jiang family don't lack these foods. Good things like stinky duck eggs, you should take them back to your son and eldest grandson to eat, so that they can continue the family line of the Bai family."
Bai's chest was choked by the blockage.
She raised her paw and wanted to slap Sun Chunxue, but she thought better of it and held back.
She pretended not to be angry, and asked with a dry smile: "By the way, my lady, I see you have opened a charity. The Jiang family was very poor before, but what happened in the past six months? Either picking up silver or doing business?"
Speaking of this, Sun Chunxue was a little too proud of herself. She blurted out: "My family has been lucky since I brought my sister-in-law back. My Nuobao is blessed and prosperous. Of course, my family can live a prosperous life."
Bai's eyes widened suddenly, and she quickly grasped the key point.
Prosperous family?
She recalled that it seemed that the Jiang family's poverty had improved since they had a little girl...
Mrs. Bai grabbed Sun Chunxue's hand and said anxiously, "The little girl you are talking about is the one I saw on the kang that day?"
No wonder Mrs. Feng was willing to give a little girl a baby and dress her up well. It turns out that the child has the ability to do so!
Bah, that wicked widow!
If she can really make the family prosperous, she must find a way to take her home. The Bai family is having a hard time now, so she must make the Bai family prosperous as well!
Seeing that her mother's expression was not right, Sun Chunxue slapped her mouth and realized that she had said too much.
She pulled her arm back and ran into the house as if avoiding the plague: "Mother, please take the stinky duck egg away quickly. My mother-in-law and Fengnian will be back soon. If you stand there any longer, you will be beaten."
After that, Sun Chunxue closed the door tightly and refused to open it again.
Bai was so angry that she gritted her teeth and stamped her feet: "Bah, this damn daughter is really spilled water. She doesn't stand up to mother at all and only knows how to be a slave in her husband's family!"
After returning to Qiaotou Village, Bai was in a state of anxiety. When she thought about the Jiang family building a big house and the Fushan Hall, her heart itched as if thousands of ants were crawling.
"If that little girl can really make the Jiang family prosperous, she will definitely make our Bai family prosperous. How can such a good thing only benefit the Jiang family?" Bai lay on the dirty iron pillowcase and hummed secretly. After all,
the girl will get married sooner or later.
It is better to take advantage of the fact that the little girl has not been engaged yet and get her to marry into the Bai family as soon as possible to make money for the Bai family!
Bai narrowed her eyes and hummed. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was a good idea. When she got up in the morning, she changed Bai Guangzong's clothes.
"Grandson, it is said that the earlier the daughter-in-law enters the family, the easier it is to train and manipulate her, so that she can be abused by her in-laws. Grandma will take you to find a daughter-in-law today, and bring back a little toy for our Guangzong to serve you. What do you think?" Bai smiled with her teeth bared, with a greedy and vicious look on her face.
Bai Guangzong, with his big black face, was throwing stones at the kitten outside the door.
Hearing this, he laughed while picking his nose: "Hey, grandma, Guangzong wants a young wife, come back to play with me, and I'll beat her if she doesn't obey!"
Bai was so happy.
Being able to serve her grandson was a blessing for the Jiang family girl!
So she took a basket of eggs, four pots of pickled cabbage, led Bai Guangzong's hand, and went to Daliu Village to propose marriage.
