The next day, after breakfast, Mu Huaqiang wanted to go out again, but he didn't want to experience the pain of being beaten to death by Lin Xiaoman last evening again. Besides, he had no money left, not a penny at all. He had no money and couldn't even afford lunch.
There was no choice, Mu Huaqiang could only continue sitting on the bench after drinking the porridge.
Then, after feeding Mu Xiaole, Lan Yachun handed her daughter to Mu Xiaoxiao and gave her a few more instructions. Then, she picked up a basket and threw it in front of Mu Huaqiang, "Come on, let's go pick mulberry leaves!"
"Can't you do it alone?" Mu Huaqiang muttered, not very happy.
"The silkworms are so big now and they eat the leaves so fast. I can't handle it alone." Lan Yachun said. Although she can do it alone, why should she, a woman, work so hard while the man is idle?
"I……"
Lin Xiaoman, who had just finished his porridge, slammed his chopsticks heavily on the table.
"I'll go, I'll go right away!" Mu Huaqiang jumped up immediately, picked up the basket and ran out of the house. His attitude seemed as if he was afraid that he would be beaten if he was a step slower.
Lan Yachun gave Lin Xiaoman a thumbs up and happily followed him out the door.
"Dad, after dinner, come with me to clean the silkworm excrement."
"I understand." Seeing that his son didn't dare to resist, Mu Weimin didn't dare to make trouble and could only agree.
It was another day with a lot of farm work, but because Lin Xiaoman was back and there were two more strong men, Mu Weimin and Mu Huaqiang, Wang Cuifen and Lan Yachun had it much easier, and Mu Xiaoxiao also had more time to study.
In the following period of time, with Lin Xiaoman's violent suppression, although Mu Huaqiang and Mu Weimin were not active, they also worked honestly.
In a blink of an eye, it was mid-August and the earliest batch of silkworms began to go up the mountain.
In three days, almost all the silkworms went up to the (Chailong) mountain to make cocoons. Before picking the cocoons, there were finally a few days without being so busy.
The day after all the silkworms went up the mountain, Lin Xiaoman sent Mu Weimin and Mu Huaqiang out to repair the mulberry trees and cultivate the land, while he gathered several women in the family to discuss a big money-making business.
Lan Yachun suggested that if they wanted to get rich by raising pigs, they could raise a few more pigs, three, or even five!
Mu Xiaoxiao has to go to school, and Lan Yachun and Wang Cuifen are too busy to take care of her. Apart from chickens and rabbits, there is only one pig in the family. They will raise it and kill it before the Chinese New Year. They will sell half and keep the other half for themselves.
In addition to pigs, the number of chickens and rabbits can also be increased!
Lan Yachun's way of making money is to raise and expand the scale of breeding.
Lin Xiaoman directly rejected this. He said that these days, there was no future in raising pigs at home. He had to take advantage of the spring breeze of reform and go out to do business!
The most profitable thing is to be a trader!
Unfortunately, this doesn't fit the character setting and is not feasible for the time being.
Lin Xiaoman directly proposed to make money by doing business, and used his magic skills to deceive people, talking about all kinds of ways to make money by doing business. Wang Cuifen and Lan Yachun were dizzy with what he said and soon they were tempted. As for Mu Xiaoxiao, she firmly stood on Lin Xiaoman's side.
Although they are interested, the specific actions still need to be examined. After all, not to mention that they have no money now, even if they have money, they cannot invest it all in business.
Lin Xiaoman was not in a hurry about this. He first proposed selling vegetables to test the waters and then put it into action.
The next day, Wang Cuifen and Lan Yachun got up early in the morning and picked a lot of cucumbers, eggplants, lettuce, cowpeas, a big winter melon and a big pumpkin from their home vegetable garden.
After breakfast, Lin Xiaoman rode his bike and took Lan Yachun with him. Lan Yachun held the basket of vegetables, and the two set off for the town early in the morning.
As soon as Lin Xiaoman left, Mu Weimin and Mu Huaqiang looked at each other. After drinking the porridge, they went out one after another, and the father and son slipped out together.
After leaving the village and finding a piece of land, the father and son cursed each other for a while, and then they worked together to find a solution.
After discussing for a while, the two decided: marry off their daughter!
As for the candidate? Liu Mazi!
Liujiaba and Mujia Village are dozens of kilometers apart, which is quite far. If I marry my daughter there and put her in the Liu family, then there will be no one to turn to for help!
It is better to act than to think. The two returned to the village. Mu Weimin went to find his card-playing friends, and Mu Huaqiang went to find his uncle, and they borrowed a bicycle each.
After getting on their bikes, the two of them headed towards Liujiaba without wasting a moment.
When Mu Huaqiang got married, Mu Weimin asked Liu Mazi to make furniture and knew Liu Mazi's family. That was how the two of them got in touch.
Liu Mazi was planing wood at home. When Mu Weimin arrived, he told him his purpose directly and said that he was willing to marry his daughter to him, but his daughter was stubborn and needed a tough approach.
Liu Mazi had met Lin Xiaoman before, and although she was a widow, he didn't mind. But now that he heard that she didn't agree and that he wanted to force her to marry him, which was almost like kidnapping her, Liu Mazi became a little reluctant.
He offered a astronomical 1,000 yuan betrothal gift. Some of the parents were selling their daughters. If the daughters did not agree, what if he married someone with a strong temper and was killed by a car accident? Or hanged? Or even killed by rat poison?
What should I do then?
Not only will you lose money, but you will also be unlucky and even be buried with him!
Seeing that Liu Mazi hesitated, Mu Weimin and Mu Huaqiang became anxious. If they wanted to live the good life of being the boss at home, they had to send the person away!
"How about this? I won't charge you 1,000 yuan, just 800. 800 yuan will do. From now on, we'll be yours. Whether we live or die, we won't come to cause trouble. I can even write you a guarantee!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Mazi was tempted. He accidentally killed his ex-wife, and his father-in-law and brother-in-law extorted hundreds of dollars from him.
It’s good to buy out. After buying out from my mother’s family, he can beat me however he wants!
However, seeing that Mu Weimin and Mu Huaqiang were both anxious to marry her, Liu Mazi was no fool and knew there must be some hidden story, so he continued to bargain.
After some back and forth, we finally agreed on 600 yuan!
There was no need for a banquet or anything like that. As long as Liu Mazi paid some money, he could bring his brothers and elders and drag the person back directly.
After the deal was settled, Liu Mazi began to prepare the money, and the Mu family's father and son went back happily, just in time for lunch.
It is said that Lin Xiaoman and Lan Yachun arrived in the town and found a temporary vegetable market after a stroll. Lin Xiaoman pretended to be a vegetable buyer and walked around and found out the prices of vegetables.
After paying a management fee and occupying a stall, Lan Yachun started selling vegetables, while Lin Xiaoman started wandering around.
Mujia Village and Xiaolin Village both belong to Baili Town. The entire town has more than 20 villages and several communities under its jurisdiction, with a total population of about 120,000, and the urban population is also 30,000 to 40,000.
In the town, there are cloth shops, tailor shops, clothing stores, small restaurants, and grocery stores...it can be said that there is everything.
These days, people still believe in the so-called iron rice bowl, and doing business is considered a crooked way. Not many people dare to try doing business. Those who are bold enough to take this step and have a little business acumen are basically among the first group of people to get rich.
