Chapter 302: Selling granddaughter to raise money

Jiang Guangyi, who was in a daze, returned home trembling.

Chen Qiuju returned from the village entrance first.

"Where have you been? Aren't you embarrassed to go out?" she asked puzzledly.

"Oh, I went to check on the fields, thinking about what to plant before winter." Jiang Guangyi made up an excuse.

"What else can I plant? Cabbage? Are we going to plant those damn potatoes like them? I don't know if they will grow. Even if they do grow, it's not certain that Jiang Shoujia will harvest them. One cent per pound, huh, that's how much money we can make."

Chen Qiuju had seen sprouted potatoes from the villagers.

Only a little bit big.

She mistook potatoes for fruits on a tree.

I thought it wouldn't produce much.

His eyes and mouth were full of sarcasm.

"Qiuju, does our family still have money?" Jiang Guangyi asked her tentatively.

"Money? What do you think? We've paid the fine and bought the medicine, so we don't have anything left. What do you want money for?"

Chen Qiuju always felt that her husband was acting abnormally today.

She had to think more.

"No, nothing. I'm going to sleep first." Jiang Guangyi stuttered, avoided her gaze, and ran back into the house.

Leaning on the bed, he saw several granddaughters playing outside the window.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.

The next day, he pretended to be sick and stayed at home, and did not go to the field to plant cabbage.

After the people left.

He walked quickly into the yard and stopped four granddaughters who were about to go up the mountain to pick mushrooms and dig wild vegetables.

Erniu was eight years old and could help the family with a lot of work, so she couldn't be sold. Jiang Guangyi drove her away first.

The remaining ones are Sanniu, Siniu and Wuniu.

He was a little hesitant.

I heard that at a human trafficker's place, a little girl can be sold for around two taels.

Widow Liu wants three taels, so he has to sell at least two.

His eyes moved back and forth between the three of them.

Jiang Sanniu and the youngest Wuniu, who were originally planning to take charge of the overall planning, left behind the well-behaved and sensible Siniu.

But his thoughts were written all over his face, and Jiang Sanniu, who was the most thoughtful, thought something was wrong.

I'm just afraid that grandpa wants her to work.

"Grandpa, when grandma left just now, she asked me to go to the fields to find her. If I'm late, grandma will scold me. Maybe grandma has come back to find me." The lie came out.

Jiang Guangyi could only wave his hand at her and tell her to leave quickly.

The remaining two little granddaughters looked at him with confusion.

"Grandpa is going to take you to a good place. You have to behave yourself. Do you understand?" There was a hint of apology in Jiang Guangyi's eyes.

"Okay." The two girls agreed obediently. Jiang Guangyi made up his mind, closed the door, and left with his granddaughters.

This time is exactly the busiest time for the villagers. The men go to work in the fields, and the women and children go to the mountains to pick mushrooms and dig wild vegetables.

After the rain, many mushrooms and wild vegetables sprouted on the mountains.

There is no way to pick them all or dig them all out.

Therefore, when the three of them left, no one saw them.

In the morning, Jiang Fubao took a short rest on a recliner.

The sweet and sour green plum drink, paired with freshly-cooked meat cakes, is delicious with every bite.

Worried about gaining too much weight, she skipped lunch.

The first and second floors of the shop were already full of people.

There was a glass of green plum drink on almost every table.

Although the selling price is one dollar.

It is dozens of times more expensive than mung bean soup which only costs three cents.

But many people are willing to spend this money to drink.

Eighty percent of the people who come to Jiang's Snack Shop are wealthy people.

I don't care about these small amounts of money at all.

"Wow, I haven't been here for a few days, and the shop has new products? It's really delicious, and it actually smells like alcohol. Did they pour alcohol in it? No, this alcohol is not spicy at all, and it doesn't look like it was freshly poured. Could it be that it was mixed with tea in advance? That shouldn't be the case. The tea is very fresh and light in color, and it doesn't look like it's been left overnight. It's really strange."

Regular customer Yang Wanli was sitting by the window on the second floor.

Tasting the alcoholic green plum drink, he first exclaimed in amazement, and then this gourmet began to guess how the green plum drink was made.

I guessed for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.

He drank two cups in a row and his cheeks turned red.

"Brother Yang, you should stop drinking given your alcohol tolerance. I'm really afraid you'll get drunk. You're so fat, I really can't take you home." His good friend sitting opposite him said jokingly.

"I'm not drunk at all. I'm drunk. This little bit of alcohol won't knock me down. Don't worry, Eryong, have another drink! Oh, and give me ten skewers of mutton, with more spicy food. I've finished eating everything on the table."

Just as Jiang Eryong was walking up the stairs with food, Yang Wanli said this casually.

Because he was so familiar with him, he directly called Jiang Eryong's name.

"Okay, Manager Yang, I'll go to the backyard to get it for you after I deliver the food to that table of guests." Jiang Eryong responded quickly.

In fact, Yang Wanli was already eight-tenths full.

But he went to Lin County for work a few days ago and hadn't eaten at Jiang's Snack Shop for several days, so he was really missing it.

I sat there from the end of Chen hour to the beginning of Wu hour before leaving feeling unsatisfied.

Having drunk three cups, he was a little tipsy and was even staggering as he walked.

After returning home, he was scolded by his wife.

"Look at you. Who can be so drunk in the middle of the day? When did Jiang's snack shop start selling alcohol?" Although Shi Yanxiu cursed, her actions did not slow down at all.

She walked over quickly and supported Yang Wanli, fearing that he would fall.

She even poured him a cup of tea to ease his throat.

Sober up while you're at it.

"No, there's a new green plum drink that's really delicious. I'll take you to try it tomorrow." Yang Wanli burped.

Different from being drunk before.

This time, the burp was filled with the fragrance of green plums, tea and the aftertaste of osmanthus.

Shi Yanxiu put down her hand as she was about to cover her mouth and nose: "You have such a poor alcohol tolerance, don't drink next time. I can't even smell the alcohol after you burp. What's wrong? Did you eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake?"

"Hey, my lady, I didn't eat it. It's the green plum drink with osmanthus in it. It's delicious. There are two flavors. You can drink the one without the taste of alcohol. How come everything in this Jiang's snack shop tastes so good? It's really strange."

Yang Wanli plans to go drink again tomorrow.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Seeing that our granddaughter is already five years old and doesn't even have a playmate, I feel really distressed. She doesn't talk much and doesn't like to go out. It's not good for her to stay at home all the time.

Our Fengnian often goes out, leaving Ruixue with no one to play with. Tomorrow, you and I will go to the pawnshop to select two maids, preferably those who are close to Ruixue's age, to just play with Ruixue."

Shi Yanxiu sat next to him and got down to business.

"Okay, I'll do as you say. We have plenty of money, so you can buy as many as you want."

Yang Wanli, who had a poor alcohol tolerance, lay down on the couch and fell asleep after he finished speaking.

This left Shi Yanxiu speechless.

The backyard of Jiang's snack shop at this time.

Jiang Fubao, who was also taking a nap, started to snore.

"It's bad, mother. Someone from Sunjia Village just brought word that Zhou wanted to sell Zhaodi. She followed Zhou and saw her going to Wanlu Street."

Sudden.

Jiang Yahe suddenly ran to the backyard and shouted.

Jiang Fubao was awakened and trembled with fear.
