"Tsk, are you out of your mind? You still dare to come?" Zhang muttered under her breath.
In the pitch-black night, Zhao Yongfu was getting impatient and said eagerly, "What are you afraid of? There's no one here anyway, let me have some fun."
As he spoke, he reached down to pull off Zhang's pants.
Zhang slapped his hand away and said, "Give me the money!"
Who carries money when going out late at night?
"I didn't bring it today, I'll bring it to you tomorrow." He then started to take off his clothes.
Zhang was displeased: "You didn't give it to me last time, so I won't do it today if you don't give it to me."
Zhao Yongfu was cursing and swearing. He didn't have any money on him, but he had a bracelet that he had taken from his wife, which he put directly on Zhang's wrist.
As soon as I put it on, I hurriedly took off my clothes. I didn't even think about going outside. I just stood there and did the deed.
Thinking that it was dark and there wouldn't be many people around, the two became increasingly unrestrained and raised their voices.
Someone got up to use the bathroom at night and vaguely heard a sound when they came out. Thinking it was a thief, they lit a torch and shouted.
Zhang was instantly terrified and broke out in a cold sweat. She hurriedly pushed Zhao Yongfu away and ran home.
Zhao Yongfu quickly pulled up his pants, pretended to be drunk, and stumbled toward the man.
Who is it?
The man recognized the voice immediately and knew that Zhao Yongfu had been drinking a lot again, as Zhao Yongfu often came home drunk in the middle of the night.
He ignored it and took the torch home.
Zhao Yongfu didn't dare to linger, so he quickly tied up his pants and ran home.
On a summer morning, a ray of sunlight shines into Nanshan Village, waking the entire village.
Before Song Ning even stepped out of the room, she heard Liu Yuelan's exclamation outside.
"This chicken...laid an egg?"
Song Ning ran out to take a look and found that there were indeed two eggs in the henhouse.
Normally, domesticated chickens take at least six or seven months to lay eggs, right? How long have these chicks been with us?
Every night, Song Ning would put these two chickens into his spatial dimension to eat and drink, and they grew plump and fast.
Song Ning simply didn't expect that she would be able to lay an egg so soon.
"Maybe...probably...this chicken matures quickly..."
The family had never seen anything like it before. Before long, the news spread throughout the village, and many people came to see her chickens, constantly asking where she bought them.
The Song family's place became lively, and many people were green with envy.
What incredible luck did the eldest branch of the Song family have? The chickens they bought grow so fast and even lay eggs ahead of schedule?
Zhang also came to join in the fun, and when she saw the two big hens in the yard, she wished she could just snatch them away.
Looking at the new clothes on Song Dahai and Liu Yuelan, he was so jealous he was going crazy.
“Sister-in-law, your family has really made money. These new clothes are something even the village chief can’t afford now,” Zhang said with a forced smile.
Upon hearing this, everyone noticed the new clothes the two were wearing.
Previously, Liu Yuelan was weak and listless, lacking any vitality. Her face was shriveled and unattractive due to long-term lack of nutrition.
To put it bluntly, even someone like Zhao Yongfu, who had searched for all the young wives in the village, just didn't take a liking to Liu Yuelan.
But now people have noticed that Liu Yuelan has gained weight, become fairer, and her face has become rosy and more radiant.
We see each other every day in the village, so we don't pay attention and can't see anything wrong. But now that we look closely, is this still the same Liu Yuelan from before?
“My elder brother and sister-in-law are making money, but my mother and I can only eat coarse food. We are all from the same village. If my elder brother and sister-in-law have any ways to make money, they should tell us so that we can all learn from them! The village chief said that we villagers must help each other.”
The people present had all come to see what was going on after hearing that two hens from the Song family's main branch had started laying eggs within a month.
They all knew that Song Dahai's family had made a lot of money in business these days, and they wanted a share of the profits, but since the other party didn't want them, they had no choice but to be envious.
But after Zhang said those words, he felt uneasy.
In an instant, the way everyone looked at them changed.
"Yes, Brother Dahai, tell us what's going on. We're not trying to steal your business."
Liu Yuelan became alert. Why were they suddenly talking about doing business again?
"Yes, Moon Maiden, please say something!"
The couple couldn't say that, so Liu Yuelan could only say, "My daughter Erya is in charge of the business; we don't really know much about it."
"Nonsense, what could a little girl like Er Ya know? We've heard that it was Yue Niang who made that thing."
They did say something like that before...
Song Ning naturally heard the noise outside and came out of the house.
"Since everyone is so curious, we can teach you the method."
A look of surprise flashed in Zhang's eyes amidst the crowd.
Liu Yuelan quickly grabbed Song Ning and whispered, "Er Ya, didn't we say the prescription can't be given to others?"
Song Ning patted her hand to reassure her.
"Our cold noodles can be made from one pound of flour into eight to nine sheets, and each sheet sells for three coins."
Those who could do math had already started calculating in their minds: the price of wheat flour in town was 50 coins per pound. If we calculate based on nine pieces, that would be 27 coins, which is only half. Wouldn't that mean a loss?
Immediately, someone shouted, "How could that be? If you really lose money, how will you make any money?"
"Is he just making things up because he doesn't want to teach us?"
Song Ning smiled and said, "I have my own methods. It just depends on whether you dare to try. Making liangpi (cold skin noodles) requires a lot of flour. If any of you can produce fifty catties of flour, I mean what I say and I will definitely teach you."
Nowadays, there are very few people in the village who can produce ten jin of wheat flour, let alone fifty jin.
Song Ningliang and the others couldn't possibly be willing to take out fifty jin.
In this era where even basic needs like food and clothing are a problem, who would do something so uncertain?
If I really had fifty pounds of flour, I'd save it all to save my life.
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Song Ning looked at Zhang Shi: "Second Aunt, you were the one who brought this up just now, so naturally I'll prioritize you. As long as you can produce fifty catties of flour, I'll definitely teach you. All the people here today can testify to that."
Zhang's face was as long as a donkey's, her expression was unpleasant, and her eyes were full of jealousy as she looked at Liu Yuelan.
In the past, she was a meritorious contributor to the Song family, giving them such a promising grandson. What is Liu Yuelan compared to her?
But ever since they separated, Liu Yuelan's life has gotten better and better, and Er Ya's personality has also changed drastically; she even started a business in town.
Zhang was extremely jealous. They were both daughters-in-law of the Song family, so why did she suffer like this? Why did Liu Yuelan live a better life than her?
Zhang was unwilling to accept this and hated Liu Yuelan to the core.
Hearing what Song Ning said, the crowd was tempted, but they simply couldn't produce that much grain, so they didn't press the matter further.
As the sun rose, Song Ning packed his things and headed towards town.
Tian Xiaoqin is coming again today; there's going to be a good show.
