Chen Mei was feeding chickens in the yard when she was disturbed by the knocking sounds on the door outside.
“What?”
The knocking on the door continued. Chen Mei was so angry that she dropped the basin in her hand and went to open the door cursing.
When the door opened, it was Mrs. Sun from next door.
"Is there something?" Chen Mei held the door with both hands and had no intention of letting Mrs. Sun in.
It's usually not a good thing when this old lady Sun comes to visit, so Chen Mei is naturally not very happy to receive her!
"Meizi, didn't you say that your stepson Jiang Cheng eloped with someone? Why did you come here today with the young man from the Song family who was engaged to Caiyun before?" Grandma Sun approached Chen Mei and asked in a low voice.
"What?" Chen Mei looked confused and pulled Mrs. Sun into her yard to talk.
Seeing Chen Mei like this, Mrs. Sun repeated what she had just said to her.
“What!!!” After hearing it clearly, Shen Mei screamed in shock.
"When did you come? Why didn't I know?" Chen Mei pulled Grandma Sun and kept asking questions.
Mrs. Sun was dizzy from her shaking, so she shook off Chen Mei's hand and stayed away from her.
"Don't you know? They just came to our village to sell tofu!" Grandma Sun rubbed her wrist. "You didn't go out to see such a big commotion? Didn't you always like to join in the fun?"
In the past, whenever something happened in the village, Chen Mei would rush to the scene to take a look.
But ever since she came back from the Song family, Chen Mei was embarrassed to go out because of the marks left by Xu Sanniang's beating.
Later, when Liu Fan came to visit her home, many people saw that he only brought a chicken. She didn't know how many people laughed at her behind her back. That's why Chen Mei didn't want to go out and be laughed at.
"What do you care about me?" Chen Mei retorted, "Okay, I know, thank you for telling me this."
Chen Mei didn't plan to say too much to Grandma Sun. This woman was too talkative, and if she told her anything, the whole village would know it in no time.
After saying this, Shen Mei wanted to drive him away.
Mrs. Sun also saw it and knew that she couldn't get anything out of him, so she left in shame.
Seeing Grandma Sun leaving Chen Mei's house, many people wanted to come over to inquire about the news, and they asked Grandma Sun one after another.
Originally, Mrs. Sun didn't ask anything, and being surrounded by a group of people, she felt completely depressed and waved goodbye as she walked out of the crowd.
No matter what those people behind you are discussing.
Seeing that Grandma Sun hadn't gotten anything out of her, everyone dispersed, planning to wait for Jiang Cheng to come back and ask him more.
After wandering around Taohua Village, most of the tofu was sold. After returning to the Song family, Jiang Cheng couldn't wait to jump off Song Tingzhi's donkey cart before it even stopped.
He trotted into the main house, took Xu Sanniang's hand and began to share his achievements.
Song Tingzhi was shocked by Jiang Cheng at first, but when he saw him so happy, he felt happy for him too.
"One, two, three, four..." Jiang Cheng counted the coins one by one. He sold about 130 kilograms of the 150 kilograms of tofu and made about 250 coins.
Some people exchanged a few kilograms of goods for soybeans. Jiang Cheng was reluctant to agree at first, but when he saw their clothes were full of patches, he agreed and gave them some more.
"That's great!!" Jiang Cheng put the silver coins into the purse one by one. The more he looked at the bulging purse, the happier he became.
"But this tofu can't be sold every day, otherwise you'll get tired of eating it." Seeing Jiang Cheng so happy, Song Tingzhi poured a basin of cold water on him in advance.
Before Jiang Cheng could say anything, Xu Sanniang became unhappy and glared at Song Tingzhi.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xu Sanniang walked to Song Tingzhi and hit him a few times.
"Mom." Jiang Cheng called out to Xu Sanniang, then put away his purse and looked at them. "Mom, Tingzhi is right. He's doing this for my own good."
"Just do it once every two days. I will also embroider some handkerchiefs on weekdays, which can at least supplement the family income." Jiang Cheng said.
"No." Song Tingzhi interrupted Jiang Cheng, "I mean we can go to other villages. There's no need to keep hanging around Taohua Village and Xinghua Village."
"You can visit the surrounding villages such as Lihua Village and Meihua Village that are farther away from the town." Song Tingzhi expressed his thoughts.
"Yeah, why didn't I think of that!"
When Xu Sanniang heard what Song Tingzhi said, she clapped her hands and spoke loudly.
"There are not only these two villages around us, but also other villages. They are all far from the town. Taohua Village is relatively close to the village."
The surrounding villages are all named after flowers. Our ancestors used to live in the same village, but they gradually separated later.
When Jiang Cheng heard Xu Sanniangwan say this, he immediately felt confident.
"Then we can visit two villages every day for a few days," Jiang Cheng said, "that way we won't get bored!"
"Yes." Xu Sanniang nodded. "Why didn't you tell me what you were thinking? You scared me."
Xu Sanniang hit Song Tingzhi hard and complained a few words.
"I hadn't even finished my words when you interrupted me and hit me." Song Tingzhi couldn't help but feel sorry for himself. Women are so unreasonable!
"You're just too slow!" Xu Sanniang retorted, turning to look at Jiang Cheng again, "Chengcheng, don't worry, I'll help you."
"Yes." Jiang Cheng handed another purse to Xu Sanniang, "This is yours, mother."
"What are you doing?" Xu Sanniang put the purse back into Jiang Cheng's hands. "This is the money you two earned. What are you doing to me? Keep it for yourself!"
"Mother, just accept it!" Jiang Cheng stuffed the purse into Xu Sanniang's hand. "If you didn't have this job, this is what Tingzhi and I should give to you as a filial piety. Just accept it!"
Xu Sanniang was about to push it back when she heard Song Tingzhi say.
"Mom, just accept it! If you don't, it means you don't approve of Chengcheng, right?" Song Tingzhi said deliberately.
"Yes, Mom, please accept it! Otherwise, I won't dare to make tofu again in the future!" Jiang Cheng also responded from the side.
Hearing the two children say this, Xu Sanniang stopped pushing it and took it away neatly.
"As for me, I will save this money and give it to your children in the future." Xu Sanniang said with a smile.
"Mom~" Jiang Cheng was shy and still not used to being scolded by Xu Sanniang so many times.
"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore!" Xu Sanniang put the purse away.
The three of them then went out for dinner.
At the dinner table, Xu Sanniang told Song Tao about Jiang Cheng's gains today and Song Tingzhi's thoughts, and Song Tao naturally did not respond.
Not only that, he also praised Jiang Cheng for being sensible...
Educated people have a lot of ways to praise others, and Jiang Cheng felt embarrassed.
