The mother and daughter set their sights on Mr. Zhang only because of his status as a scholar. But now it seems that Jiang Qiaoqiao has been completely trapped, with love alone in her mind. Only Chen Jinhua remains sober.
For her, it is more reassuring to have money in her own hands than to have her future son-in-law be rich.
Now, the Xiao family has found a way to get rich. Some time ago, their family bought a lot of sweet potatoes. She guessed that the production of their hot and sour noodles must be related to sweet potatoes.
It just so happened that Jiang Sui, that little bitch, married into the Xiao family. After all, she had raised her for more than ten years. It would be a waste if she didn't make good use of this relationship. She had to give it a try anyway.
Jiang Qiaoqiao's mind is now full of Zhang Xiucai. Chen Jinhua now asks her to please Jiang Sui. She feels annoyed whenever she thinks of Jiang Sui.
I saw this girl a few days ago. I hadn't seen her for a long time and I almost didn't recognize her. Was the girl with the rosy face, fair complexion and slim figure really the same skinny and skinny Jiang Sui from before?
The moment she saw her, Jiang Qiaoqiao was jealous. She was jealous of her beautiful face. When she saw her face at home before, even though it was worn out like that, she still felt that she was pretty when she looked closely. Now that she had recovered, she became even more radiant and dazzling.
Jiang Qiaoqiao is pretty, a beautiful girl from a small family, but she pales in comparison to Jiang Sui's brightness and liveliness.
She pouted and said impatiently:
"Mom, you must have forgotten how you treated her in the past. She hated us to death and wished she had nothing to do with us. Now we rush to get close to her. Do you think she can pay attention to us?"
Jiang Qiaoqiao felt that this was one of the reasons, and the other reason was that she was unwilling to stand with her.
Seeing her lack of ambition, Chen Jinhua couldn't help but pointed at her forehead and gritted her teeth and said:
"You silly girl, don't you see who I am doing this for? How do you know it won't work when you haven't even tried? Don't you want to get rich, be a rich lady, eat delicious food, drink spicy drinks, and wear good clothes every day?"
Jiang Qiaoqiao naturally thought about it, but she felt that as long as she could win over Mr. Zhang firmly, she would become the wife of a juren or jinshi in the future, and she would be just as glorious and have everything.
But in order to appease her mother, she had to agree first:
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. I'll go find her some other day. I have to leave now. It's really too late."
Jiang Qiaoqiao frowned, twisted her waist and walked out the door.
Seeing her like this, Chen Jinhua felt overwhelmed. She was now completely unhappy.
I went to the fields and saw that the wheat was growing in a terrible way. Some were long, some were short, and the wheat was malnourished. How could it produce food?
She looked at other people's situations. Although the situation was not good either, it was better than hers. Now there was no water in the ditches of every household, and the rivers were almost dry. The water level was not enough to flow into the fields.
Many people took buckets to the river to fetch water, one trip after another, but at least they had many family members, but Chen Jinhua was alone, and her daughter was unreliable.
The more Chen Jinhua thought about it, the more she felt that she must have a separate livelihood, and now Jiang Sui was her only goal to make a fortune.
…
Today, Father Xiao stayed at home with his third son. The father and son carried hoes to the fields. Looking at the growth of the wheat, Father Xiao sighed repeatedly.
The water output from the well in the village is not very large nowadays. Anyone who wants to get drinking water has to queue up and it takes a while to get a full well.
It hasn't rained for almost three months. God must be causing trouble.
"Dad, what should we do? You've seen the situation in the village. In fact, the whole Baima Town is in this state. There is a lack of water everywhere. Look at the land, it's all dry and cracked."
Xiao Yi stayed at home and watched the natural disaster happen, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't think of a better solution.
"Go call your second brother, and let's go to the river to fetch some water, so that the wheat can drink some." Father Xiao was silent for a long time before coming up with this idea.
But this is the only way at the moment.
If this continues, he will have no intention of going out to work anymore.
Today the eldest brother helped drive the ox cart to town. When he and the second brother came back and saw the ox cart, they liked it more and more. This ox is really good, with a big frame, great strength, and a very good temper, not stubborn at all.
He had seen the family's business over the past two days, which was indeed good. He went to the town and helped out a lot.
However, they have to return to the county town tomorrow, so the brothers have taken advantage of these few days to keep busy, some chopping wood at home, some helping with housework and so on.
The water level in the town's wells is not as high as before. It has dropped a lot, but fortunately it is still usable.
Boss He and his team have been behaving themselves. They have restored the original prices in the past few days and no longer sell hot and sour noodles. Several other stores have started to lower their prices in turn.
I guess Boss He was playing dirty but he couldn't stand the pressure from the other bosses, so he backed down. But he definitely wouldn't just accept his fate like that.
Xiao Qin helped his family finish the preparations for opening the stall, and then went to the well with a bucket to fetch water.
It just so happened that Madam Song was setting up her stall. The weather was so hot that she was planning to set up a small shed over her stall to provide shade.
Today, she was accompanied by a little girl about three years old, who was fair and cute, with two little pigtails tied with red hairbands.
She stood obediently by the side, watching her mother busy herself.
Mrs. Song was a woman from a wealthy family, and she was handling the tarpaulin by herself. She had no experience and was sweating profusely before she could tie a corner.
Xiao Qin noticed her and went back and forth to fetch water to his stall several times. He said hello to Xiao's mother and went to see Madam Song.
Xiao Qin was a kind-hearted man. Seeing that Madam Song was having a hard time working alone, he wanted to help her.
When Xiao's mother heard that he was going to do good deeds, she naturally agreed and felt extremely proud that all of her sons were good people.
Mrs. Song's hands were sore from lifting them, and Xiao Ni held up her handkerchief and called softly:
"Mom, wipe the sweat off your face."
When Mrs. Song saw how thoughtful her daughter was, she instantly felt that all the hard work was worth it.
"Okay, come and wipe the sweat off your mother." Madam Song lowered her head and let her daughter wipe the sweat off her face.
At this time, a clear and powerful male voice sounded behind him:
“Madam Song, no, I am the eldest son of the owner of Xiao Ji Noodles Stall. I am here to help you.”
When Madam Song heard this, she turned around and saw that it was Xiao Qin. Xiao Qin had been there for two days, and she recognized him as Xiao's mother's eldest son.
Xiao Qin is tall, and his skin has a healthy wheat color due to years of hard work. The sons in the Xiao family are all good-looking. Xiao Qin is handsome, and his smile gives people a down-to-earth feeling.
Madam Song got along pretty well with Jiang Sui, who often poured her mung bean soup. She also knew that everyone in her family was kind-hearted, so she didn't have any guard against the Xiao family.
Thinking of her own embarrassment just now, Madam Song felt a little embarrassed. She thought that the other person came to help because he couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
