Of course, Qin San Niang and the others also saw the scene on the road. With such a commotion, it was hard not to notice!
Little did they expect that the cause of this fight between the women was actually their own family.
Wu Chunhua sighed, "That's life in the village. People gossip about this and that, it's noisy and chaotic. We'll be living like this again from now on!"
On the other hand, even this is much better than being on the run. At least she doesn't have to live in fear. Such days even have a charm in her eyes! She is feeling warm inside now. She has land and a livelihood. After going through hardship, all that's left should be sweetness, right?
Thinking back to what Qin San Niang had told her on the way about selling ear warmers and gloves, the more she thought about it, the more feasible it seemed!
Qin San Niang had one idea after another in her mind. After all, she was a transmigrator from another world! Although she wasn't some kind of god, nor did she transmigrate into the family of a high-ranking official... she couldn't lose face, could she? Today, after careful observation in the county town, she discovered some business opportunities.
It's winter now, and although it's a bit better in the south than in the north, it's still cold. Most people on the streets are wearing padded coats or clothes made of animal skin. Some people are wearing padded hats, but not many, and they're not very stylish. As for gloves, of course, none of them are wearing any!
Wu Chunhua and Liao Hongying are skilled in needlework. She plans to create a design to make some nice earmuffs, hats, and gloves, which should be in high demand.
Although times are tough, there's a saying: "Behind the red gates, meat and wine go to waste!" The wealthy still wear brocade robes and cloaks, and if she intends to make money off them, she must be more refined in her appearance!
There were some old-fashioned fabrics stored in the space, fabrics used to make clothes for the elderly in her time! They were made of various materials, including cotton, linen, and silk, using modern printing and dyeing techniques, with uniform patterns throughout! There were just so many of them, and she was worried about where to use them! Clearing them out would also make room for other things!
Her space hasn't changed since then. Even if it's upgraded in the future, it will probably only expand the surrounding land area, so she needs to make good use of the storage space in her rooms.
If you're planning to do this business, you should start as soon as possible and make some money while the weather is cold!
Seeing that they had bought so many grain seeds, Liu was somewhat surprised, but she didn't say much. Thinking about it carefully, things are only truly yours when you have them in your hands!
These days, the price of grain changes every day, let alone grain seeds! Third Aunt and the others are planning ahead! By spring, they won't have to worry about running out of grain seeds. They have plenty of space at home, so it's good to find a proper place to store them!
If Qin San Niang knew her mother thought this way, she would laugh! Actually, she wasn't just being prepared; she really did want to farm, she was just secretly doing it in her spatial dimension!
Liu had already prepared lunch. After tidying up, the group ate and then got back to work!
Seeing that her eldest daughter had bought so much meat, Liu felt a little distressed. This amount of meat could have bought a lot of grain. Grain is much more durable!
However, she couldn't bring it up in front of everyone. Firstly, to avoid misunderstandings that she was complaining about how much others ate, and secondly, to put her daughter in a difficult position! Besides, Gu Qingshan and the others had already been given food expenses or rations, and Liu Shi only wanted her eldest daughter to save a little money.
Forget it, I'll wait until I'm single before I think about it!
"Mother, don't look so gloomy! Aren't you happy that there's meat to eat?" Qin Sanniang said with a helpless smile.
After spending a lot of time together, Qin San Niang could guess what the old lady was thinking with ease. She pointed to her head and teased, "Your eldest daughter has been enlightened by a deity. This part of her head has opened up. Let alone a piece of meat, even dragon liver and phoenix gall, if you want to eat it, I will get it for you!"
Liu chuckled and scolded, "Dragon liver and phoenix gall, my foot! Look at what you're saying. I'd be content as long as I can eat white rice every day! I can die in peace as long as you're all well!"
"Alright, alright, stop saying that, Mother. I can make sure you eat meat and white rice every day. Just you wait and see!"
...
Wu Chunhua happened to come in carrying firewood; she was going to make some snacks with Qin Sanniang in a little while! The family had plenty of firewood these past few days, all chopped up by the adults and children; life was truly comfortable!
As she rummaged through the firewood, Wu Chunhua couldn't help but think of the cowardly man in front of her, and thought bitterly, "Thank you so much for abandoning us, mother and daughter!"
"Auntie, you have to believe in Third Sister! Just wait and see how good life will be in the future! You'll be just like that old lady from the landlord's house, with maids leading the way and servants carrying your shoes and holding umbrellas. In summer you'll have ice pots to use, and in winter you'll have warm rooms to live in. It'll be truly a life of luxury!" After enjoying the good life for a while, she slowly put down the firewood and looked up, saying, "Anyway, good days are just around the corner!"
"It's just around the corner"—she learned this phrase from Xiao Er, and she roughly understood its meaning.
Liu laughed heartily, her forehead wrinkles deepening and the lines at the corners of her eyes becoming more pronounced. "Fine, I'll just wait to live this life of being bossed around like this!"
Starting in the afternoon, Wu Chunhua and a few others helped prepare the snacks.
Everyone was very supportive. Anyway, they were just sitting around doing nothing, so it was good to find something to do. None of them were lazy women!
With limited resources at hand and no possibility of finding milk or cheese in the short term, and not wanting to touch the things in her space, she decided to make a few dishes for everyone to try and see how they tasted.
"Sisters-in-law, I'm planning to make some pastries. If they sell well, I'll treat you all well! Let's get started!" La la la la, Qin San Niang was also very excited. She wasn't actually a culinary expert, but she couldn't resist the instruction manual! Wu Chunhua and Liao Hongying were both skillful, and even her mother, Liu Shi, was much better than her.
But the child still needs to be taken care of, and Liu's legs are not good, so she can't bear to see Liu overworked!
Gu Qingshan went hunting in the mountains today. He walked south from the small hill behind the mountain, and after crossing two hills, he could enter the deep mountains. Azhi stayed at home to be taken care of by them, and he felt very at ease.
The hunting trip in the mountains might take two or three days. Liu had prepared food and water for him early in the morning, which moved this tough, straightforward man deeply. He left with red eyes, thinking about hunting a good pelt to make knee pads for Liu.
As for Liao Hongying's youngest son, Xiaohu? He's being played with by Pangya at the door right now! That chubby, dark-skinned girl is broad-shouldered and has a great fondness for little children, and Xiaohu adores her!
He Yingyuan, on the other hand, had several other children learn to read and write in the main room. The sound of their reading aloud was the best way to soothe the old mother's heart!
