Ye Qingshui was counting money at the bedside. He only earned about 30 yuan after running a breakfast stall in the county town for a month.
Don’t underestimate breakfast stalls. If the policy is relaxed and people can set up stalls properly, it will not be a problem to turn a monthly income of a few thousand yuan into a millionaire.
In the 1980s and 1990s, there was a joke that those who made cannons were not as good as those who sold tea eggs, which shows how profitable these small businesses were.
During the first three months of her pregnancy, Ye Qingshui had no energy to do business and she felt very uncomfortable.
After Ye Qingshui left Hongqi County, he left the recipe of braised eggs to Qian Xiangdong. Qian Xiangdong didn't want to take advantage of him, so he gave Ye Qingshui 300 yuan to buy out the braised egg business.
Now Ye Qingshui feels energized as he watches his wallet getting fatter day by day.
Not only do I no longer suffer from morning sickness so often, but even my eating and sleeping tastes much better.
After washing up, Xie Tingyu sat on the bed and looked at his wife, watching her happily counting the money like a fox that had stolen some meat. He stared at her pink lips and couldn't help but kiss her.
"Are you so happy?" Xie Tingyu asked.
Ye Qingshui glanced at the man. She pursed her lips, and the corners of her mouth looked as if they were greased.
"You don't understand. This is called enjoying the sweetness of the fruits of labor."
Her smug look seemed to say: People like you who rely on your grandmother for pocket money will never understand.
Xie Tingyu touched his nose angrily and smiled.
…
Zhou Dongmei heard Xu Maofang tell her that Ye Qingshui made sausages and sold them to people in the compound.
Even Zhou Dongmei, who had already left the Xie family, would feel embarrassed after hearing this.
"Can't she just be quiet and take good care of her pregnancy?"
When Xu Maofang mentioned this, sarcasm could not help but flash across his eyes.
"You know she's from the countryside, she's not very knowledgeable, how can she understand the importance of reputation?"
You make yourself look like a country peddler. Do you still want to save the Xie family's reputation?
When Xu Maofang ran into old acquaintances in the compound, they immediately asked him, "Does your Qingshui still make Chinese sausages?"
That tone of voice made Xu Maofang blush with embarrassment and she wanted to crawl into the ground.
In order to avoid such embarrassing situations, Xu Maofang even gave up his habit of taking a walk in the courtyard after dinner.
But she herself had never thought that labor is equal. Her mother also raised her and supported the family with her tailoring skills!
Zhou Dongmei said: "My brother is so pitiful. He is a good Beijing University student, but he married such a wife."
It was too scary to think that he would have to spend his whole life with a woman like Ye Qingshui. The whole family's status was lowered by her. Zhou Dongmei felt an indescribable resistance when she thought that she would have to please such a person.
Not to mention whether doing business in the compound is considered speculation or not, how much money must Ye Qingshui need to risk his face to work for others just for a dollar or two?
At this time, Xu Maofang and Zhou Dongmei both thought of Li Aijun, who also married a country girl in the compound.
Life was a chaos and a difficult time.
Zhou Dongmei and Xu Maofang, mother and daughter, feel ashamed for Xie Tingyu. Is Xie Tingyu ashamed?
Xie Tingyu felt ashamed.
On the first day of school, Ye Qingshui took out fifty yuan and gave it to him.
"A man should carry some money with him."
She thought for a moment and said, "Although the cafeteria is cheap, you have a big appetite, so eat more and don't just think about saving money."
Xie Tingyu held the five wrinkled pieces of paper in his hand, feeling warm inside, ashamed and touched.
He said: "Shui'er is so good to me."
He felt deeply guilty. He had lived to such an old age, and now he still had to rely on his wife to earn money to support the family.
However, Xie Tingyu did not think about it at this time. He also gave all his money to his wife. He also had a house inherited from his mother, and the rent alone could earn him 100 yuan a month.
Ye Qingshui didn't care about the rent, as he couldn't keep spending the money.
She wanted to save enough money before the opportunity came so that she could do some big business. Although the profits from the current business were considerable, it was far from what Ye Qingshui wanted.
After Ye Qingshui bought meat from the supply and marketing cooperative once, he never went there to queue up to buy meat again.
As the saying goes, good wine needs no bush. The first time Ye Qingshui bought meat to make sausages, it was like opening the lid of his own wine, letting everyone in the compound smell the fragrance.
Once they have finished eating the sausages they bought, they will naturally come back to buy more.
When you come to Xie’s house to buy it again?
Sorry, Ye Qingshui doesn’t sell sausages.
Ye Qingshui pursed his lips and said apologetically to the customer who came to buy sausages:
"Originally, we make this bacon and sausage for ourselves. It's fine to give it to you once or twice, but you can't come to me for more after you eat it all, right? What would I become if I did that? What I'm doing is just speculation..."
"Who said you were speculating?"
The customers in the compound who love to eat sausages feel empty inside. Just as they have tasted a little bit of the flavor, they are going to stop doing this business?
When Xu Wei heard that Ye Qingshui didn't make sausages, it was like a bolt from the blue.
His wife loves to eat it. Although she doesn’t eat much, she will eat a little every now and then.
Suddenly he stopped selling sausages and Xu Wei didn’t know how to explain to his wife when he got home.
An idea suddenly occurred to him, and he went to the army canteen, bought two kilograms of fresh meat and brought it to Xie's house.
"I'll give you the meat and ask you to help make sausages. That won't count as profiteering, right?"
Ye Qingshui accepted the two kilograms of pork with a smile.
He looked at Ye Qingshui's smiling face and suddenly felt that her smile was very similar to Xie Tingyu's.
Ye Qingshui no longer sells sausages, she relies on her skills to charge processing fees.
After all, there is the sensitivity of the times, and Ye Qingshui can't go against the trend of the times. In the county town, he set up a stall to sell breakfast, and no one would care if he was smart. With so many eyes watching in the compound, no matter how bold Ye Qingshui was, he didn't dare to commit a crime.
It was my first time selling sausages, so the boundaries were still blurry.
Ye Qingshui didn't set a price for the sausages, and they couldn't be considered a commodity. The customers who came to ask her for sausages were all acquaintances who had eaten there before. They were well-mannered and didn't want to take advantage of others, so they left their money and notes voluntarily. She couldn't be sued for speculation.
If Ye Qingshui helps his neighbor make sausages and charges some fees, would he be considered profiteering?
Sorry, the first people to be arrested are tailors. There are tailor shops in every street and alley, and tailors also make a living by their craft. We all make a living by our craft, so why should we distinguish between high and low?
The daughter-in-law of the Xie family has a unique skill in making sausages. If you want to eat sausages, just bring some pork to her house and you can eat the sausages made by her.
In addition, you have to pay some labor fees. After all, they don’t work for free.
When some family members in the compound who were originally estranged from the Xie family heard the news, they were overjoyed.
It’s good to charge labor fees!
Everyone says that the sausages made by Ye Qingshui are delicious. However, many people have no relationship with the Xie family and are too embarrassed to visit them, so it is difficult for them to even get a taste of the sausages.
Ye Qingshui was willing to charge for the labor, and now his customers were no longer limited to Xie's relatives and friends. There was an endless stream of people carrying pork to the Xie family to ask for sausage making.
Xu Maofang got a splitting headache after seeing this.
The emotions she had suppressed for so long finally burst out like a burst balloon.
Looking at Ye Qingshui, who was bending over and washing pork in the kitchen, Xu Maofang said sarcastically, "His father and grandfather are both well-known leaders in the compound. You are the daughter-in-law of the Xie family. How can you behave like this?"
Ye Qingshui washed the pork and looked down at herself.
Ye Qingshui was quite self-conscious, fearing that it would affect the normal life of his family.
Many customers come to ask Ye Qingshui to make sausages. Ye Qingshui only makes ten kilograms of sausages a day at most. After making sausages, he tries his best to keep it clean so as not to cause trouble for Mrs. Wu.
Although there is probably only Xu Maofang in this family.
After all, Xie Jun was very busy at work and was not at home for many days. His elder brother was studying in a completely closed military school, and Xie Tingyu only came home after school. Grandpa and grandma also lived in their own house and did not live in Xie's house.
Xie Tingyu certainly wouldn't think his wife was troublesome. Instead, he would roll up his sleeves and help with the work.
Xu Maofang added, "Throw away the things you brought from the countryside as soon as possible, and don't bring all the good smells and bad smells to the Xie family. Your task now is to take good care of your pregnancy and give Tingyu a big fat boy as soon as possible."
This sentence is really heartbreaking.
If Ye Qingshui was still the country girl who was easily inferior in her previous life, she would probably be so sad that she would cry after hearing this.
Ye Qingshui now, sorry, she is a little thick-skinned.
Pick up the bowl to eat, put down the bowl to curse. Last year, Xu Maofang thought the local specialties were rustic and not presentable, but in the end, she was the one who enjoyed the food the most.
Ye Qingshui made money by making sausages. Every now and then, he would prepare some delicious food for Xie Tingyu to take to school to fill his stomach.
But I didn’t see Xu Maofang eating less?
Ye Qingshui raised his head and was about to speak to ask Xu Maofang to wake up.
Unexpectedly, she saw Xie Tingyu standing quietly behind the door, his shadow stretched very long on the ground, and she didn't know how long he had been listening.
He said calmly, "Sorry to bother you, Aunt Fang. Shui Ya and I will move out soon and won't bother you."
When Ye Qingshui saw Xu Maofang's expression suddenly become distorted, he really wanted to applaud the man.
Her man is really something. Even if he doesn't say anything, it's already =, but once he opens his mouth, he's like a stab in the heart.
It is natural for Xie Tingyu to live in the Xie family. Even if he moves out, everyone will beg him to come back. However, some people try their best but cannot move back.
He is the son of the Xie family, and Ye Qingshui is pregnant. The young couple was forced to move out by their stepmother. Unless Xu Maofang is shameless, he will kneel down and beg them to come back.
Xu Maofang's heart felt like it was in a frying pan, being fried to a shredded pulp.
It took her a while to catch her breath, and she said with a forced smile:
"I sincerely hope that Shuiya is well and that she doesn't have to work so hard. She's been pregnant for almost five months and still doing these things. It wouldn't be good if it got out, right?
"Wait for your father to come back and judge for himself. I have been rooting for you guys with all my heart, but you two are moving out one by one. Are you trying to force me to death..."
Ye Qingshui was about to speak, but Xie Tingyu said nothing and pulled her back to the room.
How does Xie Tingyu feel at this moment?
He sorted out the clothes for both of them, folded them and put them in the suitcase.
Ye Qingshui quickly threw himself on the suitcase, "Brother Yu, what are you doing?"
Xie Tingyu looked at his wife, touched her head and said, "As long as I am here, I will never let you suffer any injustice. Let's move out, and you can do whatever you want..."
Ye Qingshui looked at the man's serious expression and realized that he really wanted to move out. So he didn't mean to anger his stepmother to death?
He said...she can do whatever she wants?
Xie Tingyu has made progress...
When they got married two years ago, Ye Qingshui was caught by Xie Tingyu selling things on the black market. His expression at that time was as if his father had died, and he wanted to lock her up at home and educate her a hundred times.
Now Ye Qingshui had no doubt that if she dared to kill people and set fire, he would dare to fill the hole with dirt the next step.
Ye Qingshui asked him if he really wanted to move out and never come back?
She was unwilling to move away. The business in the compound had just started, and it was convenient for Ye Qingshui to make money. The security in the compound was good, and the entrance and exit were strictly controlled by guards. Thieves and hooligans would only dare to run wild in the compound if they were desperate.
Ye Qingshui didn't want to move away because the environment was so safe. If anyone had to move, it would be Xu Maofang.
However, Ye Qingshui thought about it and felt that moving out for two days at this critical moment would help Xu Maofang sober up.
So Ye Qingshui also started packing his clothes.
Xie Tingyu nodded hesitantly.
In the past, Xie Tingyu had plenty of ways to deal with his stepmother. He didn't want to take care of her before because he was too lazy to clean up. Now that his wife is pregnant and he is not at home during the day, how can Xie Tingyu feel at ease?
He said, "All I care about is you and the baby."
Xie Tingyu didn't want to see a jade bottle being damaged by a rat. He just wanted to move out.
Ye Qingshui assured him, "I will pay attention, don't worry, Brother Yu."
Xu Maofang is so good at talking, and the man has this kind of temperament. His father-in-law is also partial. He must have suffered a lot from Xu Maofang when he was a child. Otherwise, it would not be possible for Grandma Xie to take him in and raise him to adulthood.
Ye Qingshui's hand was held in the man's palm, and she scratched his palm with her thumb.
Xie Tingyu kissed him.
That night, the young couple moved out.
The first person to discover this was a regular customer who came to ask Ye Qingshui to make sausages early in the morning. Zhang Hongying was a military wife from the countryside, and she especially liked the sausages made by Ye Qingshui.
Her voice was particularly loud. "Is Qingshui here? Why didn't he say anything after I called him for so long?"
Xu Maofang's face was as long as a coffin. She said, "She's not at home."
Zhang Hongying ran to Xie's house and looked around, only to find that he was really gone. She looked careless but was actually very careful. All the tools Ye Qingshui used for enema were gone. Even the small clothes she had been working on disappeared.
"She didn't move away?"
Zhang Hongying was puzzled, but she didn't ask. She went to Xie's house to ask again in the next two days, and Xu Maofang's answer was the same every time.
Xie's stepmother drove away her son and her pregnant daughter-in-law, and the news spread.
When Xu Maofang heard this, he was so angry that he almost died.
She had already gone to her stepson's house several times, but was turned away every day. She almost knelt down and begged them to come home, but the couple didn't respond. Xu Maofang sneered: "Just keep acting like that. If you keep acting like that and make Xie Jun feel cold, don't come back."
But she didn't expect that Ye Qingshui had made a lot of friends by making sausages for the people in the compound.
These idle women gathered together and spread rumors that could drown Xu Maofang.
As for...Xu Maofang thinks making sausages is shameful?
If the customers who have bought sausages from Ye Qingshui knew what Xu Maofang was thinking, they would probably spit in her face.
It's not that Ye Qingshui is humbly earning money, it's clearly that they are begging Ye Qingshui to accept the money. It's reversed, okay?
The daughter-in-law of the Xie family was like a drug that made people lose their appetite. She could not only make Chinese sausages, but also stewed meat, duck in sauce, braised pork, steamed cakes, peaches, shortbread, cakes...
Relying on this unique skill, Ye Qingshui has accumulated a lot of crazy fans.
