Chapter 311 She's no pushover.
Uncle Niu glared at her and showed her his arm: "Don't underestimate me, girl. People from the countryside are strong; I can work for another twenty years without any problem."
"Your Aunt Niu is busy feeding the chickens and ducks at home. She fed yours too when she went out. She'll come over and help in a bit."
Looking at Uncle Niu's dark face, Jiang Nuanzhi couldn't help but twitch her lips: "Then you can help drive the cart. They'll load the things, and we'll carry them over together."
"become."
Uncle Niu responded and led the donkey cart inside.
Jiang Nuanzhi quickly pulled Ping'er in front of her and instructed, "Ping'er, you stay with Grandpa Niu and keep a close eye on him. Don't let him carry anything too heavy."
At noon, when everyone was working hard, Aunt Wang and Aunt Niu arrived one after the other.
"Warm girl, I see your family is quite busy. Is there anything I can do to help you?"
"Yes, yes. You silly girl, you didn't even say hello."
Jiang Nuanzhi saw the two aunts and couldn't help but smile: "Aunties, you've come at the right time. Then I won't stand on ceremony. Please go back to my house and help prepare some food. There will probably be a lot of people eating later."
"Okay, leave the cooking to us."
"Me too, me too."
Aunt Ma came over carrying a large wooden bucket: "My house is nearby. I saw you were all busy. I just boiled a pot of dandelion water. Here are some big bowls for them to drink when they get thirsty."
Aunt Ma, with a towel wrapped around her head, deftly put down the bucket and said with a smile.
"Thank you, Auntie. Then I'll trouble you all." Jiang Nuanzhi didn't expect Aunt Ma to come over as well. Although Aunt Ma was always thinking about her own marriage, she was quick and efficient, and sometimes quite adorable.
She then smiled and said, "Fu Man is here at home, but she just injured her leg. If any of you aunties don't know what to cook, just ask her. There's meat at home, so please cook it. I'll go back and join you later."
Then she called to the waiter: "Waiter, you go back with them. The grandmothers are probably reluctant to eat meat. Take out the three catties of meat from our house and give it to them. Just say that I made it."
Xiao Er nodded hurriedly, and then ran off with his grandmothers. The group chattered away as they went back.
Jiang Nuanzhi immediately picked up Xiao Baozhu and instructed Fusheng, "I'll leave this place to you. Aunt Nuan will go to the new house and keep an eye on things."
"Yes, Aunt Nuan, don't worry, I've already made a list, and I remember everything clearly."
Fusheng held a small booklet, her eyes crinkling into crescents as she smiled, looking as delicate as a girl.
Turning her head, she gently kicked the big black dog that was circling and biting its tail: "Go away, big black dog, don't block the way here."
Big Black barked excitedly and dashed off. But after running for a while, it realized that Jiang Nuanzhi was walking in the opposite direction, so it barked twice in dissatisfaction, and then ran back to playfully frolick around the two of them.
Little Baozhu giggled in Jiang Nuanzhi's arms, "Mommy, look! Big Black is so silly, hahaha!"
"You slut! I don't know where you learned those seductive tricks, but you've got so many men fawning over you!"
Behind the towering tree, Widow Wang peeked out, her eyes filled with resentment as she stared in the direction Jiang Nuanzhi had left.
"That skin, that figure. Sister, why would I need to use any tricks on a little vixen like that? I'd be happy to wash her pants."
Wang Mazi had a lewd look on his face, his triangular eyes staring intently at Jiang Nuanzhi's back, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth as he grinned.
When Widow Wang turned around, she saw her brother drooling, and immediately slapped him across the face.
"You shameless bastard! Have you forgotten how she almost beat me to death before? How could I have such a spineless brother like you!"
Wang Mazi's head lolled to the side after being hit, and his expression twitched: "Sister, why did you hit me so hard?"
She retorted defiantly, "Women should be energetic like this; that's what makes sleeping with them enjoyable. You don't understand, sister."
"Pah! Next time she beats you to death, I won't care!"
"Kill her?" Wang Mazi suddenly chuckled. "Sister, just you wait. Next time, I'll make Jiang Pangya kneel in front of you and serve you by washing your feet!"
Widow Wang looked at her suspiciously: "Are you stupid or crazy? Let me tell you, she's no pushover."
"Heh, no matter what, she's still a woman?" Wang Mazi leered, stroking his chin. "I have plenty of ways to deal with women. Once the deed is done, they'll have to serve me obediently."
As Wang Mazi spoke, he rubbed his hands together expectantly: "This little vixen, I don't know how many people in the village are eyeing her. It's such a waste that she married that good-for-nothing. Maybe she's still a virgin."
When Widow Wang heard him say that, she frowned immediately: "Don't do anything reckless! If you make a mistake, you might really be skinned alive!"
Wang Mazi glanced at his sister disdainfully and said perfunctorily, "I know, I know."
These women, they really are all all talk and no action.
Widow Wang assumed her brother was just venting and didn't pay much attention. However, the more she looked around, the angrier she became. She cursed and grumbled as she and Wang Mazi went home.
Lost in their own thoughts, neither of them noticed that behind a mud wall not far behind them, a pair of pitch-black eyes were fixed on them. Those eyes appeared somewhat immature, but a chilling coldness emanated from them, sending shivers down one's spine.
"Hey, Nuan, what a lively scene today?"
Jiang Nuanzhi was in the room looking at the booklet, trying to find what she was missing, when she suddenly heard a familiar voice behind her. She turned around immediately and exclaimed, "Oh! What brings you here!"
Lu Shizhu smiled and pointed out the window: "Look, Boss Tao from the brick factory modified the glass-making process according to your method. Now his first batch of glass is out, and he can't leave the furnace. He insisted that I bring it to you to take a look. What are you doing?"
Jiang Nuanzhi's eyes lit up: "The glass has been fired? Let's go, let's go take a look!"
This glass cost her over five hundred taels of silver. Even at that price, it took Jiang Nuanzhi and Boss Tao several trips back and forth, helping him with refining and upgrading the equipment, before the final price was settled.
Of course, Jiang Nuanzhi didn't help out for nothing; she also asked Boss Tao for 10% of the shares.
Of course, even so, Jiang Nuanzhi still got a great deal, since even a small piece of glass the size of a palm from Boss Tao could fetch a hundred taels of silver in the capital. Yes, that's how glass was back then, with prices that were terrifyingly high.
Jiang Nuanzhi immediately grabbed Lü Shizhu and ran down from the second floor.
"Grandma, my goodness! Please be careful. You'd better block this staircase with something right away. It's terrifying!" Lu Shizhu said, patting his chest as he looked at the unblocked staircase.
Jiang Nuanzhi: "Don't worry, Uncle Zhang made the handrails, and they'll be installed soon."
